Chapter 1821 – New Ruler

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Prison cultivated the Nine Yin Frost Technique, which made him very sensitive to cold environments. When the elves in the snowy region were awoken, he had already sensed what was wrong. However, Prison was not concerned about this. He might freeze to death if this snowy region became colder…but Luo Guan would definitely not hold out for as long as him, and this was how he was going to kill Luo Guan!

Therefore, the current situation was that both parties were aware of the changes in the snowy region but they were pretending as if they did not know anything while waiting for a problem to occur to the other party. Simply put, this was a battle of patience and a battle of who was more resistant to the cold. Whoever could last longer would make it to the end. Prison was extremely confident in himself, and he had every reason to be. However, Qin Yu had a big sun following him. Freezing to death was virtually impossible!

The battle continued on as the temperature plummeted. A crystalline blue started to appear in the clean and white snowy landscape, which reflected light when the sun rays fell on them. It made the landscape eerily beautiful.

The Sky Spirit Clan’s Great Clan Elder led the eighty-seven worshippers remaining in the tribe to hide in the depths of the snowy region. As they sensed the powerful fluctuations coming from the distance, a heavy expression formed on their faces. These fluctuations were being released by people with strong cultivation levels and their auras were also full of vitality. The invaders that appeared today were extremely powerful. However, the stronger a living being was, the more vitality it could bring to the Sky Spirit Clan. At the very least, it could help them produce an offspring this year, which would increase the clan’s chances at survival.

Ah Bu congratulated, “Great Clan Elder, the worshippers have awakened the elves in the depths of the snowy region. Their power will be completely released in another half an hour. When that happens, the extreme north will freeze over, becoming a place devoid of life.”

“Okay,” Great Clan Elder nodded. “Ah Bu, escort the priests back. I will stay here.”

Ah Bu took a deep breath and he kowtowed respectfully, “Yes, Great Clan Elder…I hope that one day, I will be able to see you again.” Behind him, all the worshippers who looked exhausted also knelt to the ground one after another. There was sadness in their eyes.

Their strong Great Clan Elder was going to die soon. Did this mean that the Sky Spirit Clan’s countless years of struggle to stay alive was doomed to end fruitlessly? Was their clan going to disappear forever within this frozen and sealed world, fading into oblivion and being forgotten by everyone?

Great Clan Elder turned around, seeming to have sensed their thoughts, and said in a low voice, “Back then, before our supreme ruler left, he told us of a prophecy that a new ruler would come and save our Sky Spirit Clan, so that we would be reborn from destruction. It is precisely because of these words that so many generations have persevered until now!

“Therefore, I want all of you to remember to have hope no matter what. You must not give up! Our Sky Spirit Clan will definitely be able to see the day where our new ruler descends. Our clan will be reborn!”

“Yes, Great Clan Elder!” Ah Bu shouted loudly.

Yet, the eyes of the other worshippers dimmed. This prophecy was the main reason why the Sky Spirit Clan had persevered for so long. It was the last hope that had been passed down from one generation to another. When they were young, their belief in this prophecy was resolute and unwavering. They, too, believed that as long as they persevered, they would come to see the day when the prophecy would come true. However, so much time had passed, and in the face of all the struggles, extreme cold, and suffering that they had been through, this light in their heart gradually dimmed, and now, it was on the brink of being completely extinguished.

Was the prophecy really true? Or, was it just something the ancestors concocted so that their descendants would be motivated to continue surviving? In the worshippers’ hearts, they all had such doubts, but they chose to stay silent and keep this thought buried in their hearts. This was because they were the last surviving pillars of the Sky Spirit Clan. If they voiced their hopelessness, the clan would have truly reached its downfall.

Ah Bu turned around and escorted the exhausted worshippers through the passage that they dug in the depths of the snowy region. This place would become incomparably cold very soon. With the worshippers’ current condition, they would not be able to hold on for much longer.

Great Clan Elder stayed where he was and watched as his clan members left. There was a blank look in his eyes as he sensed the bitterness, hesitation, and even hopelessness in the worshippers’ hearts. However, he did not know how to comfort them, because even he had harbored such thoughts in his heart more than once.

Could the Sky Spirit Clan really hold out until the end? Great Clan Elder took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled. He did not know the answer to that question and he would not have the chance to see what would happen to the Sky Spirit Clan. However, at the very least, he could contribute to the longevity of the clan one final time.

Closing his eyes, Great Clan Elder sat cross-legged on the ground. He needed to ensure that he was in his peak condition to complete this hunt. These two powerful invaders’ cultivation and vitality were the key to the Sky Spirit Clan’s continued survival and he could not afford to make any mistakes. Within the clan, there were some newborn children that were about to die because of the extreme cold!

The temperature dropped even further and the wind slowly died. The only thing that circulated in the air was the extreme frost. The enormous icebergs that stood in the snowy region were on the verge of toppling due to the huge battle between Qin Yu and Prison just now. With just a small push they could be destroyed.

However, now, there was an obvious change. The rumbling sounds that these icebergs made while they shook violently were accompanied by cracking sounds. Cracks formed one by one on the surface of these icebergs, yet, the icebergs still stood straight without falling.

The temperature was now so low that it was enough to freeze any cultivators below the True King realm to death. Even True Kings who had already walked out of their Heaven Crossing Great Dao would be able to clearly feel the suppression on their own Great Daos…it was continuously becoming stiffer, as if it was being frozen by the extreme cold temperatures in the outside world!

Qin Yu’s face started to turn blue and a shocked expression formed on his face. When he attacked, his actions were a bit stiffer now, as if the energy was not flowing properly in his body. But of course, this was all an act. He was in a great condition, even better than before, since the little blue lamp had also made a move. Warmth penetrated the void and descended into his body. He felt as if he was sitting by a giant stove. All of the frost energy that entered his body previously melted away, no longer having an effect on him.

Prison was expressionless. He was extremely pale now, losing all color in his skin. However, this was not because his body was affected by the cold. It was because the Nine Yin Frost Technique that he cultivated was now being displayed at its highest capacity, preventing the frost from invading his body.

It was already mentioned previously that in this snowy region, the environment boosted his powers by a huge margin since he practiced the Nine Yin Frost Technique.

However, the law of nature was that there was a limit to everything. Once the limit was crossed, there would be a backlash instead…the bigger his boost in power, the greater the backlash! Therefore, Prison had to ensure that his body could take it before he unleashed the Nine Yin Frost Technique. Otherwise, if there was a backlash, he would end up in a tragic situation. But why was Luo Guan still hanging in there? Even though he looked kind of terrible, as if he would freeze in the next moment, he just was not collapsing! Prison did not understand what was going on, but he could only persevere, otherwise, he could only give up on trying to kill Luo Guan.

As they breathed in and out, endless frost energy surged. Like invisible knives, it pierced through their mouth, nose, trachea and all the way to their lungs. Then, this frost energy spread to their whole body. Above Qin Yu, Oriental Great Bird continued to glide in the sky. However, its calls were no longer as sharp. Fear appeared in its golden eyes, but since Qin Yu was still here, it could only try its best to put up with the cold.

Back then, in the Mutant World in the Eternal Sea, all of the giant beasts had accepted Qin Yu’s gift, obtaining the blood of the Ancient Clan. This also meant that from that very moment, they had become Qin Yu’s lackeys, and they were willing to be ordered around by him.

Suddenly, the Oriental Great Bird’s body froze. It could no longer hide the fear in its golden eyes. This was because the terrifying frost energy in the atmosphere suddenly grew exponentially. The cold was too much for the Oriental Great Bird to bear. Instantly, it became frozen.

Ka-cha –

Ka-cha –

A thin layer of blue ice could be seen forming on the surface of the Oriental Great Bird’s body at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning it into an enormous chunk of ice. It fell directly from the sky and heavily landed in the snowy region. A deafening boom could be heard, but yet, it did not create much disturbance because the snowy region had almost completely frozen over. The impact made by the Oriental Great Bird’s fall did not leave a big depression. In fact, the depression was rather shallow. As the frozen Oriental Great Bird slid far away, it gradually disappeared beyond the horizon.

Prison frowned as his body froze where he was standing. A thick layer of ice trapped him within. Fear and shock grew in his eyes and suddenly, he regained some color in his face that was previously as pale as a sheet. However, this was not a good thing for Prison. The anger and bewilderment in his eyes intensified. Now, there was even some anxiety and panic.

The frost energy that had suddenly erupted was unexpected. In such a short time, it had increased exponentially and even he was unable to bear with it. And this was not the most scary thing…the most scary thing was that the Nine Yin Frost Technique had begun to backfire on him!

His face became redder, but his body became colder. Prison could clearly feel every inch of his flesh gradually becoming stiffer. Death was knocking on his door! He desperately mobilized his cultivation, trying to fight against the backlash, but all his efforts were to no avail.

Yet, at this moment, what was difficult for Prison to accept was that Luo Guan was doing completely fine…he was not frozen! In an instant, Prison finally realized that whatever he saw previously was merely an act. Luo Guan had a trump card that could help prevent the frost energy from attacking him in this extreme cold environment.

Damn it! I’ve been fooled!

Qin Yu smiled slightly, and the blue color in his face faded away. He said, “Prison, I am really curious. What kind of orders did you receive such that you went to such lengths to try and kill me? If you are willing to tell me honestly, I might be able to help you stay alive.”

Prison’s eyes were full of resentment as he glared at Qin Yu. However, he was not shaken in the least. Qin Yu shook his head. It seemed that there was no way to get answers out of Prison.

Right at this moment, Qin Yu’s face changed slightly. He turned and looked behind him. There was a figure walking towards him from afar. At this moment, Qin Yu’s entire body was so hot that it was releasing steam. Every pore in his body gave out heat like a giant human furnace.

When this figure saw Qin Yu, there was a huge change in his expression. With a hoarse voice, he exclaimed, “No way!” Great Clan Elder’s eyes narrowed, unable to accept what he was seeing. The elves in the depths of the snowy region had already released their full power, causing the whole snowy region and all living beings in it to freeze over. As long as someone was trapped here, they would not be able to escape. Why was this invader completely unaffected?

Qin Yu subconsciously frowned as he asked, “Native creature?” He looked at Great Clan Elder and could inexplicably feel a sense of kinship towards him, making him feel vigilant inside.

Yet, at this moment, Great Clan Elder regained his senses. He stomped heavily and growled in a low voice. The frost energy in the snowy region started to accumulate and it traveled towards Qin Yu. The ground that he stood on began to turn blue quickly as endless frost energy surged towards him, like a great tide that was about to swallow him alive!

However, very quickly, Great Clan Elder’s face turned pale, because this terrifying frost energy was not only unable to suppress Qin Yu, but even the deep blue and black layer of ice beneath him started to melt bit by bit. This invader…was so strong! No, he was much stronger than what Great Clan Elder expected! If this person managed to get away, he would definitely carry out the most terrifying revenge on the Sky Spirit Clan!

Right at this moment, the illusion of a Great Sun suddenly appeared behind Qin Yu. It was not very clear, but an endless stream of heat was being released from this illusion, causing the snowy region to melt.

Great Clan Elder could now hear sharp cries filled with fear and awe, and they were coming from the elves in the depths of the snowy region. They were supposedly the rulers of this world! But now, Great Clan Elder was not in the mood to care about such things. He looked at Qin Yu with wide eyes. The Great Sun Illusion shone brightly, causing Qin Yu’s figure to look incomparably tall and majestic.

Back then, when the ruler died due to a catastrophe that fell on Sky Spirit World, as the rulers of this world, the Sky Spirit Clan fell into despair ever since. Generations of clan members struggled to live in this dead world, all because they were waiting for the prophecy that their ruler told them to come true. The prophecy said that when the lost sun descended in this world once again, it would signify the coming of the new ruler. He would save the Sky Spirit Clan, helping it to be reborn from ashes. When this happened, their future would be even brighter!

And now, Great Clan Elder could clearly see a great sun in his widened eyes! Even if it was just an illusion, its majestic aura and the heat that it was releasing continuously undoubtedly showcased its power.

Plop –

Great Clan Elder fell to his knees and his body started to tremble violently. “Our new ruler…the Sky Spirit Clan has been waiting for you here for many, many years…today, you’ve finally come!”

As he finished speaking, the tears were already flowing down his face.

Qin Yu was expressionless as he stared at Great Clan Elder. He was not going to trust Great Clan Elder’s words so easily.

“The Sky Spirit Clan…” Qin Yu mumbled to himself. This name was unfamiliar to him, yet when he said it, he felt slightly shaken in his heart.

It was as if this name was truly related to him somehow.
