"A quarter of an hour? Is it that long?" Mu Xiaolan whispered to herself. Although she had never participated in the assessment of the Snow Palace, she had heard about it during her years in the Ice Phoenix Sect.
"This is not important." Mu Sushan said with a smile: "Perhaps you should think carefully about why he specifically asked you the question just now."
"Huh?" Mu Xiaolan looked puzzled.
“The assessment of the Blizzard Realm is quite physically demanding,” Mu Sushan said slowly, “Most of the profound practitioners, whether they passed or not, were out of breath after the Blizzard Realm was closed, but Yun Che not only rushed into the top 1,000 with his profound strength at the Sovereign Profound Realm, but also looked normal, with almost no signs of panting… Hehe, this young man that the Ice Cloud Palace Master brought back from the lower realm is indeed not simple. Who knows what surprises there might be in a while.”
“Ah?” Mu Xiaolan was even more confused.
Yun Che stood in the mysterious formation and saw at a glance that the man named Feng Mo was also among them. Not only did he pass the second round of the assessment, but he also seemed to be ranked quite high. Feeling the gaze, Feng Mo also raised his eyes to look at him, revealing a rather strange look.
"The final test...Ice Profound Realm! Don't die too quickly!"
As Ji Hanfeng's voice fell, a blue light shot up from the mysterious formation into the sky, completely submerging the figures of all the examinees in the formation.
The world around Yun Che suddenly turned icy blue. Then, he felt the changes in the world around him. All the auras disappeared in an instant. When the surrounding light suddenly dissipated, a space made of ice crystals appeared before his eyes.
The world of Ice Mystery!
This space is independent and closed, and extremely small, less than a hundred feet long, wide and high, and one can see the end and edge at a glance. The ice layer that seals this world is condensed by extremely high-level ice profound power, reflecting the cold light of the ice soul that pierces the heart.
Just as Yun Che saw the world he was in clearly, a flash of cold light appeared before his eyes, and a figure of a beast with a length of ten feet quickly appeared… Its entire body was snow-white, its claws were like cold blades, and its eyes were bloodshot. It was actually an ice wolf that released a bloodthirsty aura!
Ice wolves were not rare for Yun Che, as they could be seen everywhere in the Ice Pole Snow Region. However, the one in front of him was so terrifying that even if all the ice wolves in the Ice Pole Snow Region were added together, they would not be as powerful as a single hair of it. The aura it released was clearly far more terrifying than that of Feng Xue'er and the Little Demon Queen.
This is a terrifying mysterious beast with the power of the divine way! Its strength is comparable to that of a mysterious practitioner in the early stage of the Divine Origin Realm!
The first moment the ice wolf appeared, it let out a bloody roar and suddenly pounced on him. Yun Che was a projection, and this ice wolf was also a projection. It had no emotions, and its only purpose of existence was to tear the creatures in front of it to pieces at all costs, not giving them even a chance to breathe.
“Purgatory!!”
A profound beast with divine power was definitely not something Yun Che could resist under normal circumstances. His Heretic God Realm was instantly opened, and his entire body's profound power surged, but he still didn't dare to take it head-on, and instead used the Star God Fragment to quickly move away.
Hiss!
The ice wolf pounced into the air, and just as its front paws touched the ground, it turned around like lightning and pounced on Yun Che again. At the same time, the temperature of the Ice Profound Realm suddenly dropped, and countless ice spikes grew in the void, piercing towards Yun Che with an extremely sharp whistling sound.
What! ?
The speed of the ice wolf startled Yun Che. He ducked down, leaned close to the ground, and dodged under the ice wolf. He instantly exchanged positions with the ice wolf, but in this narrow space, ice spikes were everywhere. Yun Che shouted softly, and his profound energy exploded, shattering all the ice spikes that attacked him. However, at the moment when his energy was exhausted, more than a dozen ice spikes still pierced through the aftermath of the power and fiercely pierced his body.
Bang bang bang bang...
With Yun Che's physical strength, it was really difficult to get hurt. But what attacked him at this moment was the power of the divine way that was beyond the level of the Profound Sky Continent. Blood splattered all over his chest and back. The severe pain made Yun Che frown and punched himself in the chest. Instantly, all the barbs that had pierced his body were shaken out and shattered into ice powder.
What a terrifying mysterious beast... after all, it is a mysterious beast from the divine realm.
The ice wolf, which missed its second pounce, turned around again, and its snow-white body flew over. Before it got close, its claws had already torn into the air, and an ice blade even larger than its body condensed in an instant, slashing towards Yun Che.
…………………………
“Senior Sushan, this final test…what exactly is in the Ice Profound Realm?” Mu Xiaolan asked Mu Sushan.
"Oh? Are you starting to worry about that kid now?" Mu Sushan said with a smile.
"I don't bother to worry about him." Mu Xiaolan raised her nose: "I'm just curious."
"It's the Ice Direwolf." Mu Sushan replied.
“Ice Dire Wolf… a Divine Cloud Realm Level 1 mysterious beast?” Mu Xiaolan exclaimed softly.
"Yes, and there are more than one." Mu Sushan explained: "After entering the Ice Profound Realm, the examinee will first face an Ice Dire Wolf. After a period of time, more Ice Dire Wolfs will appear, but it will no longer be one, but two, three, four... Each time, there will be one more."
"Most of the people who take the test at the Frost Snow Palace are the best who have just entered the Divine Origin Realm and have passed the second round of the test. They can easily deal with one Ice Dire Wolf, but facing two at the same time is a bit tricky. Facing three will be dangerous, and facing four at the same time is even more difficult. Moreover, each wave of Ice Dire Wolves appears at a fixed time. For example, three Ice Dire Wolves will appear at once in the third wave, but if these three are not killed before the fourth wave appears, then after the fourth wave appears, the examinees will face seven at the same time... Hehe, the result is of course certain death."
“The Frost Dire Wolf… Although its body is relatively fragile, its attack capability is almost the strongest among the same level of profound beasts, and it also possesses an extremely strong ferocity. Yun Che… he…” Mu Xiaolan began to stutter: “He will definitely be torn into pieces immediately.”
"ah!!!!"
As soon as Mu Xiaolan finished speaking, a scream rang out, and a figure flew out from the mysterious formation and fell heavily to the ground.
The first Xuanist to die in the Ice Xuan Realm was ejected.
"Hmph, waste." Ji Hanfeng, who was supervising the assessment, snorted with disdain.
"Ah... Yun Che!!" Mu Xiaolan screamed subconsciously and rushed towards the figure. With Yun Che's profound strength only at the fifth level of the Sovereign Profound Realm, the only consequence in front of the brutal and terrifying Ice Dire Wolf was that he would be torn to pieces in an instant. The first person to die under the claws of the Ice Dire Wolf could only be him.
But before she got close, she stopped there again, her icy eyes widening... because the figure that fell to the ground was not Yun Che.
"Huh?" Ji Hanfeng on the other side also frowned.
The first examinee who was ejected from the mysterious formation collapsed on the ground, his face pale, and he had not yet recovered from the fear of "death". Because in the Ice Mysterious Realm, he clearly saw himself being torn into pieces by the Ice Dire Wolf.
……………………
BANG!!
The ice blade chopped off Yun Che’s shadow and slashed heavily on the ice wall behind him, nailing it directly on top.
Yun Che dodged all of the Ice Wolf's terrifying attacks with his Star God Fragment. But he knew very well that considering the Ice Wolf's terrifying speed and the narrowness of this space, it was definitely not a wise move for him to deal with it like this, and he had to take the initiative to attack.
This time, the ice wolf did not pounce forward, but opened its mouth wide, and a stream of cold air gushed out. Thick ice fog quickly spread in the Ice Profound Realm. The temperature in the already icy space dropped at a terrifying speed.
Chill! ?
Yun Che’s eyes flashed, and he rushed towards the ice wolf in the icy fog like lightning.
The cold air spewed out by the ice wolf would instantly freeze an emperor into an ice sculpture if he was slightly touched. As the cold air spread, all beings in the entire Ice Profound Realm would be frozen.
But it definitely couldn't affect Yun Che.
Yun Che did not dare to take on its strength, sharp claws, ice spikes, and ice blades. However, it was extremely stupid to use its cold air to deal with Yun Che.
The ice wolf that released the cold air revealed its flaws. Yun Che rushed to its side, condensed his profound energy, and punched it.
Ji Hanfeng said that weapons cannot be used in the Ice Profound Realm. But Hong'er might be an exception... because she is not a weapon in essence, but a special existence connected to his soul and will. However, he did not interrupt the attempt to summon Hong'er, because he disdained "cheating".
Under Yun Che's attack, the Ice Wolf screamed, flew out, and slammed fiercely onto the ice wall, causing the entire small space to tremble slightly. Yun Che looked at the fist that had just hit Bing Leng's body, and a look of astonishment flashed across his eyes... Because he had felt the Ice Wolf's bones shatter with that punch just now.
The ice wolf's attacks were extremely terrifying, and each time made him feel suffocated, but its body did not seem to be that strong.
The Ice Wolf stood up, but its body was shaking slightly, proving that the bone fracture Yun Che felt was not an illusion. Yun Che's eyes narrowed, and his look changed from cautious to dangerous, and he took the initiative to rush towards the Ice Wolf.
“Hiss… Roar!!”
The injured ice wolf's fury surged, and its pupils released a bloodthirsty, murderous light. It howled angrily, leaped dozens of feet, and rushed towards Yun Che with a cold and violent wave of air. Most of the Ice Profound Realm was instantly swept into the disastrous ice storm.
Yun Che also leaped up at the same time, heading straight for it. When he got close, his figure flickered, and he appeared above the ice wolf like a ghost, using his hand as a sword to strike straight down.
"The falling moon and sinking stars!!"
BANG!!
Snap!!
With a loud bang, Yun Che’s palm, which he had poured all his strength into, smashed onto the ice wolf’s back. Following that, there was a clear and ear-shattering sound of a fracture.
Yun Che’s power was so enormous that the ice wolf’s spine was directly broken into several pieces by this blow. It roared miserably and fell heavily to the ground. After rolling continuously, it collapsed on the ground like a ball of mud, unable to stand up again. Not long after, it slowly disappeared in a ball of blue light.
Yun Che slowly descended, exhaled slightly, shook his slightly sore palm, and whispered, “That’s all.”
“However, this is just the beginning. If you want to pass, you have to persist for at least a quarter of an hour. It will definitely become more and more difficult later.” Yun Che muttered to himself: “It’s better to save some energy.”
In the Profound Sky Continent, after Xuanyuan Wentian's soul was annihilated, there was no one who possessed the power of the divine way. Therefore, although Yun Che was growing rapidly afterwards, he could not find a reference to measure his level of strength.
Even when he was fighting with Xuanyuan Wentian, he had no idea what level of strength he had reached - after all, he was completely unaware of the existence of the "Seven Realms of the Divine Profound" at that time.
Therefore, it was not that the Frost Direwolf was “nothing special”, but that he did not know that he had quietly reached a realm far beyond his expectations...
