Chapter 495
495 Cold Wave Disaster!
Ice Plain Continent, border.
Above the city, soldiers in Profound Ice combat clothes stood.
Row after row, they looked at the endless ice mountains ahead.
The Northern Ice Plain was one of the oldest earth veins in the Eastern War Zone. It had a history of more than ten thousand years.
!!
Since ancient times, countless powerful soul beasts had been born here, and they had also created overlord legends.
In the Fallen Ancient Era, among the foreign races of the other world, the Northern Ice Plain had erupted with immense power. It was one of the only ancient earth veins in the Eastern War Zone that had not become the Soul Earth.
To this day, there were still many mysterious mysteries.
However, today…
The cold wind tore apart as the surging cold wave rode the snow. From the distant ice plain, it surged over like a charging knight.
Eastern Calendar, Year 3021.
At the beginning of June, the tenth cold wave in history erupted in the Northern Ice Fields.
As the cold wave rose, everything was frozen.
At this moment, the soldiers guarding the border of the Ice Plain Continent became witnesses of the first cold wave.
The cold city wall flickered with mechanical rainbow light. It was the light that erupted when energy poured down.
An emergency defense device had already been activated inside the city. Ice-blue light barriers stood above the city walls.
Ice-type soul pets let out various cries as they flew in the air and began to warn.
“The people inside the city have already retreated. A third of the Ice Lotus Province of the Ancient Zenith War Zone has already been frozen. It will take at least a day for the people of the city to completely evacuate. The rescue route built behind us needs us to temporarily guard this city for six hours to completely ensure the evacuation of the people.”
On the city wall, a man wearing an ice-colored helmet let out a low voice.
“Captain, we’re the border army… I remember that when the news of the cold wave reached us, didn’t the Snow Cavalry already send their trump card soul masters to guard the border entrance of the Northern Ice Fields?”
A member could not help but ask softly, “They should be able to control the cold wave, right?”
They were the border guards and were only in charge of guarding the city.
“That’s right,” the captain said calmly. “It’s precisely because of their guarding that the cold wave has been delayed. We obtained information that the cold wave in the Northern Ice Fields has reached Level 10 this time, the highest in history. If not for them blocking it, this city might have been frozen like the Ice Lotus Province.”
Hearing this, the soldiers took a deep breath.
“This cold wave is too strange. Half a year ago, I remember that several Heavenly Kings led a team from here to the Northern Ice Fields to investigate the situation. Why did a cold wave suddenly erupt in just half a year? However, in the past few years, the temperature here has indeed been getting lower and lower.”
“Especially inside the Northern Ice Fields, many ice-type soul pets have run out. It’s said that there’s an additional palace inside? The detailed situation has been sealed… I wonder if this cold wave is related to that palace…”
The soldiers discussed softly.
There were some uneasy emotions in the conversation.
It was just suppressed.
The captain was silent.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the air.
“The Arctic Heavenly King?”
Seeing this, the captain immediately said respectfully, “Why are you here?”
The other soldiers immediately stopped talking with solemn expressions.
“Defend the city.” The Arctic Heavenly King’s expression was calm, “The cold wave is rather serious this time. Other than you, I’m also obligated to guard it. Don’t worry, it’ll only take six hours. After that, we only need to retreat safely.”
Hearing this, many soldiers heaved a sigh of relief.
Even a Heavenly King had personally paid for it, so there shouldn’t be a problem.
Beside the Arctic Heavenly King was an ice-blue dragon that looked hundreds of meters long.
The Heavenly Frost Dragon was the Arctic Heavenly King’s hundred-thousand-year soul pet. It was also a very famous soul pet in the Ice Plain Continent.
The huge shadow calmed the soldiers on the city wall.
“The power of the cold wave has always been extraordinary. After the Fallen Ancient Era, it has only erupted twice. This is the second time.”
The Arctic Heavenly King’s expression was terrifyingly calm, “Everyone, immediately activate the preheating device in your armor. Summon your soul pets and enter a combat state. The speed of the cold wave is not inferior to a high-speed maglev. Don’t be careless.”
The soldiers immediately activated the armor on their bodies.
These were all military standard armor formed by modern technology combined with martial soul power. Before the Contract Soul Master reached Level 70 and did not have a Super Beast Soul Armament, they already had powerful combat abilities.
To soldiers, their soul pets were all highly unified. They were all ice-type Frost Snow Beasts and Frost Birds.
They were used for land and flying battles.
Seeing the soldiers begin to prepare one by one, the Arctic Heavenly King first circled the city wall before sitting on the back of the Heavenly Frost Dragon and looking ahead.
“Old Frost, actually, we both know that there’s no point in doing this.”
The Heavenly Frost Dragon let out a crisp dragon roar.
It was high and brave. In this cold world, it brought some enthusiasm to the soldiers guarding the city.
The 300,000-year-old Heavenly Frost Dragon was a symbol in the Ice Plain Continent.
“We’ll only know after we do it.” The Arctic Heavenly King sighed softly, “This cold wave has just begun. I know that the news they gave me is not that simple. Three Heavenly Kings led by Glazed disappeared in the Northern Ice Fields.”
“The central didn’t say anything about the huge loss in combat strength, but I know. I’ve guarded this Ice Plain Continent for 50 years, so I know. However, you don’t know the exact situation, and I don’t know either. That ice palace… I wanted to investigate further, but the cold wave had already arrived… It was too fast. The Glazed Heavenly King and the others still had information earlier, but it suddenly disappeared.”
“The war zone central says that there are several possibilities. In fact, it might even be that those foreign races have never been involved. However, those are all guesses. There’s no evidence.”
“If we can’t withstand the first round of the cold wave, it won’t be easy to resist later.”
The Arctic Heavenly King sent a voice transmission to the Heavenly Frost Dragon below.
“I feel a very special power in the cold wave from the ground.”
The Heavenly Frost Dragon spat out dragon breath, “A very ominous power that makes me very uneasy. My parents lived in the Northern Ice Fields for more than a thousand years, but they never told me about that ice palace…”
The Arctic Heavenly King was about to say something when a surging cold wave surged over from afar like a shocking roar.
The Arctic Heavenly King snorted as the soul ring on his body flashed.
It was pitch-black and scarlet.
The color of the soul ring constantly jumped as soul pet phantoms let out high-pitched cries!
“Super Beast Armament, Profound Ice Divine Martial!”
The six soul rings immediately transformed in the air. The six soul pets transformed from their soul rings into starlight that seemed to transform as they charged at the Arctic Heavenly King.
As they rushed over, they ran in the light and transformed into armor that combined with the Arctic Heavenly King.
In an instant, the Arctic Heavenly King immediately transformed into a warrior wearing shining ice armor. The pair of snow wings on his back made him look like a war god in the nine heavens.
“Heavenly Frost Dragon Blade!” The Arctic Heavenly King shouted.
The Heavenly Frost Dragon suddenly let out a sharp cry as a circle of light began to erupt from its back.
A hilt appeared in the circle of light.
The Arctic Heavenly King held it in one hand and an ice-blue light poured down, pulling out the divine weapon hidden in the Heavenly Frost Dragon’s body.
The next moment, the Heavenly Frost Dragon transformed into a dragon shadow and flew into the Heavenly Frost Dragon Blade like a divine soul.
“Cold Qi, come!”
The Arctic Heavenly King’s eyes flashed as a blade-shaped airflow surrounded him, causing his aura to erupt again!
Martial soul, Cold Qi.
It was a unique gaseous martial soul that was both offensive and defensive.
Looking at the approaching cold wave,
the Arctic Heavenly King stomped in the air and transformed into an ice light that shot into the sky.
The next moment, he slashed down!
Boom!
The shadows of the clouds broke apart, and the thousands of meters long blade aura fell like a majestic river!
A terrifying airflow pressed down on this world.
The cold wave ahead was like a piece of bread that had been cut apart. It instantly split into two, and the blade aura continued for several kilometers.
The surging cold wave directly split into two from the location of the Arctic Heavenly King!
Seeing this scene, the soldiers on the city wall below were shocked and their blood boiled!
In this era, it was actually very rare to see a Heavenly King really attack.
After all, once they attacked, it would definitely be earth-shattering and indescribably powerful.
Even in a top competition like the Nine Continent Cup, it was very difficult to see a peerless battle between Heavenly Kings.
They saw it now.
“Brothers! Charge! The Heavenly King has attacked!”
“Profound Ice Divine Martial, Heavenly Frost Dragon Blade. The last time I saw it was ten years ago.”
“Isn’t it just a cold wave?!”
“…”
The soldiers were in unison. They brought their soul pets and rushed forward to scatter the cold wave.
In the air.
At this moment, the Arctic Heavenly King’s expression was not as happy as after swinging the blade. Instead, it was solemn.
“Do you feel it?”
“I feel it. There’s something in the cold wave.”
The Arctic Heavenly King held the dragon blade and rushed into the cold wave.
In the cold wave, everything was extremely cold.
This cold air seemed to be able to freeze even soul power. Once ordinary things encountered it, they would immediately turn into ice sculptures or even lose their life force.
To the Arctic Heavenly King, this was nothing…
“Come out!” The Arctic Heavenly King shouted.
There was no movement.
The Arctic Heavenly King shouted a few more times, but there was no response.
However, the throbbing in its heart…
“It’s behind, further away!”
In the dragon blade, the Heavenly Frost Dragon shouted.
The Arctic Heavenly King immediately turned around. Ice light began to gather in his eyes, as if it could penetrate the cold fog.
Suddenly, his pupils constricted.
“This is…”
In front, ice sculptures were uniformly watching with dull eyes.
In the cold fog, it was also so eye-catching.
However, on closer look, the Arctic Heavenly King immediately discovered that these ice sculptures were actually the Snow Cavalry he had personally sent to guard the cold wave a few days ago!
Moreover, they were not motionless. Instead, they moved slowly in the hazy cold fog like zombies.
They seemed to have discovered the Arctic Heavenly King.
“Han Ming!”
“Irene!”
“Wen Xiaochuan!”
“…”
The Arctic Heavenly King shouted their names.
However, he already knew that it was impossible to awaken them.
“Who is it? Come out!”
The Arctic Heavenly King looked over angrily and roared.
The soul masters in the Snow Cavalry were all trump cards of the Ice Plain Continent’s military. They were personally taught by him.
The Arctic Heavenly King knew their strength very well. They were just probing. Even if they could not suppress the cold wave, it was not a problem to retreat!
The Arctic Heavenly King naturally knew the history of the cold wave very well.
Even a super cold wave could easily be dealt with by Contract Soul Masters who were at least Level 70 in the modern world.
But now…
The Arctic Heavenly King’s anger erupted, but it was also bone-chilling.
In that ice palace, the disappearance of several Heavenly Kings and the increasingly strange temperature in the past half a year was only an estimation.
However, he could not determine what would happen.
The Arctic Heavenly King rushed past these ice sculptures and continued deeper.
A moment later, he discovered some moving ice sculptures. Some were even the Contract Soul Masters who had followed the Glazed Heavenly King and the others to the ice palace to explore again.
Only the Heavenly King was nowhere to be seen.
Moreover, the deeper he went in the cold wave, the more shocked the Arctic Heavenly King was.
Other than these ice sculptures, there were actually some extremely special ones. They were not humans, but soul beasts he had never seen before.
Its entire body was covered in ice bones that were even more terrifying than ghost soul pets. It emitted an extremely special death aura.
“No, you can’t go any further!”
At this moment, the Heavenly Frost Dragon’s trembling voice suddenly came from the dragon blade, “Something is wrong! Retreat quickly!”
The Arctic Heavenly King was shocked and his heart began to beat crazily.
He suddenly raised his hand and cold air erupted from his entire body. The cold air condensed into a spiral blade that pierced through the spread of the surrounding cold wave.
With a wave of the Dragon Saber in his hand, the Saber Force that could originally erupt for a thousand meters outside actually disappeared silently in the cold wave…
“Arctic Domain!” The Arctic Heavenly King shouted.
With him as the center, ice lights quickly spread out. Wherever they passed, all the cold waves were quickly expelled.
The Arctic Heavenly King did not hesitate to return…
The ice sculptures rushed towards the Arctic Heavenly King without any regard for their lives, powerful energy fluctuations erupting from their bodies.
It looked like an ice sculpture, but it also seemed to have extremely powerful strength!
The dragon blade in the Arctic Heavenly King’s hand was like a butcher’s knife as it easily cut countless ice sculptures into a pile of ice.
Strangely, the ice cubes quickly combined in the cold wave and returned to normal in a moment.
“What’s this?”
The Arctic Heavenly King’s heart shook as if it had fallen into an ice valley!
At this moment, a soul master of the Snow Cavalry pounced at him.
The dragon blade in the Arctic Heavenly King’s hand hesitated for a second before cutting him apart!
However, at this moment, a ghostly cold figure in the distance silently broke through the Arctic Heavenly King’s domain and rushed over while he hesitated.
The Arctic Heavenly King immediately felt cold killing intent. He suddenly turned around and his pupils constricted…
The cold wave drowned everything like a flood…
A few days later.
The cold wave erupted. The three cities of the Eastern War Zone’s Ice Plain Continent were frozen in a day.
