Chapter 589 - 598: Freezing Everything

"Immortal Blood Palm!"

A vast, murderous aura erupted from Lim Tian. With a stomp of his foot that shattered the ground, his body flickered into countless afterimages. They flew out, circling high above Wen Qingye, and then a sky-blotting barrage of murderous Palm Seals descended upon him.

An assault this ferocious was almost impossible to dodge.

Wen Qingye watched the countless figures of Lim Tian around him, his expression impassive as he tightened his grip on the hilt of his One Thought Sword.

In the next moment, a boundless, cold energy seemed to surge from the surroundings.

Everyone in the entire city felt a sudden chill. One moment, it had been scorchingly hot; the next, it was as if they had been plunged into the biting cold of the Northern Border.

Wen Qingye’s One Thought Sword began to madly devour the surrounding Primordial Qi. Countless streams of Primordial Qi swirled around the Sword Body, forming a massive vortex.

"Third Sword of Cold Ice Sword Technique, Ice Vortex!"

WHOOSH!

The countless streams of Primordial Qi began to change violently, gradually condensing as if freezing into chunks of crushed ice.

CRACKLE! CRACKLE! CRACKLE!

Countless shards of ice collided with the surrounding blood palms, producing a series of sharp, piercing noises.

"Hmph! Let me show you the true Immortal Blood Palm!"

Lim Tian snorted coldly. The blood palms filling the sky began to transform, countless threads of blood merging together. Finally, a single, colossal blood palm pressed down from the heavens with overwhelming might.

SWOOSH!

The impact of frenzied Primordial Qi immediately exploded outward.

"He had another move? Truly a master of the older generation, so cunning!"

"Wen Qingye will have a hard time dealing with this one."

...

Cries of alarm rose from the crowd.

Watching the blood-red Palm Seal descend from the sky, Wen Qingye took a deep breath. He slashed his One Thought Sword toward it, and a blue arc split the heavens.

In the next instant, all the ice shards in the sky began to gather, merging bit by bit.

A massive Ice Sword took form and shot toward the blood-red Palm Seal at a terrifying, arcing speed.

BOOM!

High in the sky, the crimson and blue lights collided first, followed by the giant Ice Sword piercing into the blood-red Palm Seal.

The ground below cracked apart. The two figures were sent flying backward from the shock, their feet carving long trails through the air before they gradually came to a halt.

Countless eyes turned to look. Lim Tian’s face was deathly pale, his eyes filled with astonishment. That sword strike had actually invaded his Primordial Spirit.

’This Wen Qingye’s methods are truly endless. Not only is his Primordial Qi strange and overbearing, but even his Law Power is this potent. I wonder if I can even kill him today.’

The more Lim Tian thought, the darker his expression became.

Wen Qingye, on the other hand, appeared calm, but the crowd could clearly see a faint tremor in the sword he held. Evidently, he had not blocked that last attack with ease.

But what the crowd didn’t know was that Lim Tian’s insides were in utter turmoil. Not only was his Primordial Spirit wounded, but wisps of purple flame he couldn’t extinguish were still burning within his body.

Lim Tian shouted coldly, "Wen Qingye, your talent is indeed remarkable. To reach the Life and Death Realm at such a speed truly shocked me. I’m now starting to doubt whether your meridians ever had a problem at all."

Wen Qingye smiled nonchalantly. "Broken or not, what good would telling you do? A man about to die will just carry the knowledge with him to the Underworld. It’s better you don’t know."

A sharp light glinted in Lim Tian’s eyes. "Wen Qingye," he said coldly, "do you really think no one can handle you? Don’t be so arrogant!"

Wen Qingye threw his head back and laughed. "Hahaha, I, Wen Qingye, say this now: let anyone from your Taiyi Pavilion come and try to take my life. I’ll take on all comers!"

’I have to kill him today. I absolutely have to kill him. I must.’ The threat emanating from Wen Qingye terrified Lim Tian, and combined with the seething hatred in his heart, he began to mutter to himself like a madman.

HSSS!

At that moment, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. Their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably, and they subconsciously looked toward the source of the shiver-inducing cold.

Wen Qingye floated in the sky. A streak of deep blue, frosty energy flowed along his One Thought Sword, and wisps of white vapor rose from around it.

Across the land, the pupils of every expert contracted slightly. That was the white vapor produced only by the most extreme cold!

Countless gazes converged on the deep blue Sword Body. A moment later, everyone gasped as they saw the azure energy erupt like a great river, surging madly in all directions.

Wen Qingye’s expression was cold. Violet-gold Primordial Qi flowed endlessly into the Sword Body. His lips parted slightly, and a frigid voice echoed in all directions.

"Fourth Sword of Cold Ice Sword Technique, Cold and Frost Injury!"

A Sword Aura resembling a frozen river surged toward Lim Tian. Everywhere it passed, the air itself froze into a frigid current. A layer of ice spread across the sky like a cloud, a sight as magnificent as it was shocking.

’I can’t just sit here and wait to die!’

At this thought, the killing intent in Lim Tian’s eyes surged. He took a deep breath, his face grim, and slammed his withered palms together, forming an exceptionally strange Seal Technique.

BOOM!

As Lim Tian’s Seal Technique formed, a vast and powerful Primordial Qi surged out, rapidly condensing before him.

Lim Tian’s face was expressionless, his eyes reflecting the boundless, ice-blue light. His palms, held in a seal, began to shift through various formations. Faintly, these Seal Techniques pulsed with a malevolent red glow.

"Taiyi Unrivaled Seal! Ominous Might Shakes the Heavens!"

The killing intent in Lim Tian’s eyes grew so thick it was almost tangible. A vast, malevolent aura erupted from his body as a bloody energy blotted out the sky. He then fixed a sinister glare on Wen Qingye and unleashed his attack.

"Wen Qingye, die!"

A colossal seal materialized in the air, radiating an overwhelming, malevolent power that seemed capable of suppressing all of eternity.

"Is that a Spirit-Grade Martial Arts from the Taiyi Pavilion?"

"The Taiyi Unrivaled Seal... A martial art from the legends."

...

Beneath the shocked and astonished gazes of the crowd, the streak of deep blue light in the sky collided directly with the seal.

BOOM!

The world seemed to freeze at the moment of impact. Then, an incomparably violent shockwave of Primordial Qi swept outward. The ground below was brutally torn asunder, with deep, hideous ravines ripping across the land and stretching into the distance.

The entire city was devastated, its people suffering immensely. It was essentially destroyed in a single blow.

CRACK! CRACK!

Everyone in the city stared in stunned silence. The scene before them was something they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

The massive Taiyi Unrivaled Seal in the sky had been frozen solid. Shards of ice hung suspended in the air, emitting faint wisps of white vapor.
