On the plaza, the countless runes that had been swirling wildly around Dan Bingli began to change drastically, transforming into crystal-clear ice crystals.
With a deafening shattering sound, a corner of the space was torn apart.
Dan Bingli subconsciously looked up and saw a pair of incomparably majestic eyes projecting down from the endless void. The immense pressure contained in that gaze almost made her heart stop beating.
Upon seeing this gaze, the people of the three races in the square all knelt down and said in unison:
"Greetings, Ancestor!"
The sound resounded throughout the square, filled with utmost devotion. Before this ancient and shared aura, they seemed to have returned to ancient times, facing the supreme Ice Emperor Ancestor who protected their race.
Everyone was filled with anticipation, hoping that their ancestor could guide the clan toward the light at this crucial moment and restore its past glory.
But that gaze ignored the kneeling crowd, only uttering a murmur from ancient times that echoed softly in Dan Bingli's ears:
"Ice Crystal... Glass... Body, is it a descendant of glass?"
The voice was filled with endless vicissitudes and感慨, spanning countless years. Immediately afterward, a heavy sigh came, and the eyes in the void disappeared again, leaving only a brief silence.
Just as everyone was horrified by the disappearance of the ancestor's gaze, a cold, icy light fell from the void and landed directly on Dan Bingli's forehead.
A massive amount of information kept flooding into her mind.
This drew Dan Bingli's consciousness into an ancient memory, where she witnessed the glorious history of the ancient Ice Emperor lineage and gained the qualification to enter and receive its inheritance.
But just then, a sudden change occurred!
An incongruous high temperature suddenly appeared in the originally cold environment.
Then, above the azure glacier, a huge fiery palm print radiating intense heat crashed down onto the plaza!
Upon seeing this sudden attack, the Liling Clan Chief's expression changed drastically, and he roared to the sky:
"How dare you!"
The roar was like thunder, making the surrounding glaciers hum.
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly formed hand seals, and thirty-six ice crystal spikes appeared on his arms. He then unleashed a palm strike that shot out in a spiral trajectory with the force of the palm wind.
The thirty-six ice crystal spikes, like a group of ice-colored dragons, shot towards the huge fiery palm print with a whistling sound.
In an instant, the air was filled with a chill, which collided with the rolling heat wave brought by the fiery palm print. As the cold and heat intertwined, water vapor rose and formed a hazy mist.
However, as soon as the ice crystal spikes came into contact with the flames, they made a "sizzling" melting sound, and the ice layer on the surface melted rapidly.
Although these spikes continued to advance forward with the force of rotation, they ultimately could not withstand the scorching heat of the flames.
Within a few breaths, more than half of the ice crystal spikes had melted into water vapor and vanished without a trace. The remaining spikes continued to resist stubbornly, but in vain, and were soon completely consumed by the flames.
Seeing this, the Liling Clan Chief inwardly cried out in alarm, but it was too late to mount any other defenses. After the fiery palm print broke through the ice crystal spikes, its momentum weakened somewhat, but it still carried a portion of the extinguished flames as it hurtled towards him.
"Bang!"
With a deafening roar, the fiery palm print slammed into the ice shield hastily conjured by the Liling Clan Chief.
The ice shield cracked instantly, and countless fissures spread outwards.
Immediately afterward, the ice shield shattered, turning into countless ice shards that scattered in all directions. The powerful impact struck the Liling Clan Chief.
He let out a muffled groan, and a mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth. He felt a sharp pain in his chest and his limbs went limp, clearly indicating that he had suffered a serious injury.
Just then, a figure emerged from the flames. This person was dressed in a red robe and had a chilling smile on his face.
He swept his cold gaze across the crowd, then slowly spoke, his voice filled with obvious disdain:
"The lineage of the ancient Ice Emperor?"
"The Heavenly Profound Holy Temple, mindful of the past friendship with the ancient Ice Emperor, has shown your clan considerable protection. Yet you have dared to commit such a heinous act! Your Grand Elders have even dared to attempt to assassinate the Temple Master's son. Such wickedness is truly intolerable! Today, I, Chi Liao, acting on the orders of the City Lord of Chicheng, have come to bring you treacherous and rebellious individuals to your knees and execute you all!"
The resounding words echoed across the already chaotic square.
After he finished speaking, he crossed his arms and looked down at the crowd.
The Liling Clan Chief wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, glaring angrily:
"Stop making false accusations! Our clan's Grand Elder has always acted with integrity; how could he have done such a thing? You must have other motives!"
Unexpectedly, the Red Liao sneered:
"A plot? The evidence is irrefutable; how can you deny it!"
After saying that, a flash of light appeared in Chi Liao's hand, and a body was smashed down with powerful spiritual energy.
boom!
The impact created a shockingly deep crater in the ground, and everyone who looked closely gasped in horror.
The body lying quietly at the bottom of the pit belonged to their highly respected elder, whose cultivation level was as high as a ninth-grade saint!
At this moment, the Grand Elder's eyes were wide open, still filled with the shock and resentment of his death, his eyes wide open in death. What was even more gruesome was that a large chunk of his chest was missing, a bloody mess, with white bones clearly visible, and he was completely lifeless.
Upon witnessing this scene, the chieftains of the Liling and Shuangling tribes swayed, their legs nearly collapsing to the ground.
Overwhelmed with grief, he let out a heart-wrenching roar:
