(Back to the Present time)Floating high in the clouds, Sheng Tian stared at the Realm of Endless Ice below like a G.o.d gazing the mortals.
The entire region seems to be an embodiment of Extreme Ice.
Mountains, Plains, Valleys, Glaciers, Trees, everything eye can and can"t see was a product of Ice.
Clenching his fist, Sheng Tian removed the profound energy barrier s.h.i.+elding him.
In a split second, bone-chilling ice profound energy rushed in through every pore of his body.
Sheng Tian"s body showed no reaction to the bone freezing chill.
His figure blurred and he appeared on the ground the next second.
It was as if he was walking through the void and reappearing in the realm.
Sheng Tian spread his spirit sense and covered a vast area of the Endless Ice Lands.
As his spirit sense spread across a certain region, his pupils shrunk and the next moment, he was gone.
All this while, his presence didn"t attract a single profound beast. Or rather, it could be said that he was not detected by any of them.
Pa.s.sing by the lofty snow peaks and the l.u.s.trous frost plains, he arrived in front of an ancient mountain.
The next second, he appeared before an extremely ancient mountain.
The mountain had no openings whatsoever. It was emitting a distinct frigid feeling even in the cold temperature.
Sheng Tian narrowed his eyes and with a wave of his hand, incomparable profound energy gathered into his palms. He slammed at a certain region of the mountain.
BOOM
Facing his tremendous attack, the walls of the mountain cracked as a pa.s.sage long covered by the boundless ice layers came into view.
"As expected" Sheng Tian muttered under his breath.
He entered the narrow pa.s.sage and traveled at a ridiculous speed.
Finally, he arrived at the end of the pa.s.sage.
What greeted him was the magnificent view of a dazzling lake amid the stunning frozen garden.
The frost roses, white lotuses, and plum blossoms-- the beauty of the flowers reached beyond the realm of mortals.
Sheng Tian"s first reaction after reaching this place was uncontrollable s.h.i.+vering.
The Ice profound energy in the air in the location is incomparably pure and frosty.
It is enough to freeze OverLords for eternity.
Even people who cultivate in Ice Profound Techniques cannot stay in this area despite the obvious benefits.
The frigid air threatened to freeze air itself as the wind barely moved.
His teeth chattered as he instinctively hugged his arms to have some warmth in the unbearable cold.
Despite his extreme physical const.i.tutions and bloodlines, Sheng Tian found it hard to bear the cold.
However, the look in his eyes turned from that of suffering to unshakable resolve.
Sheng Tian took a deep breath as he felt utmost cold air entering his body and walked towards the serene yet frosty lake.
With each step, the Ice profound energy turned denser and purer.
That essentially meant it was becoming dangerously colder.
Each step required more energy, determination, and resolve than the last.
By the time he reached the boundary of the lake, a layer of ice was formed on his body.
Sheng Tian took a closer look at the lake.
Despite the chilling cold, it is not frozen.
However, the liquid in the lake is not water, but the liquefied profound energy of Ice itself!
Sheng Tian took off all his clothes revealing an extremely handsome and divine body.
His silver hair had an illusory l.u.s.ter while his sky blue pupils gleamed.
His face was beyond the realm of mortal imagination. It was beyond perfection.
He was neither bulky nor skinny, but in the fine line between.
The muscles on his body were irresistible yet filled with astounding power to shake the mountains and drain the oceans!
This was a body that every man wanted to own and every woman wished to taste!
Yet, Sheng Tian gave no care to his body and directly jumped into the frosty lake.
"Aa..." the shriek of Sheng Tian turned into a m.u.f.fled groan as the cold invaded every corner of his body and rendered every muscle of his body immobile.
Sheng Tian saw himself drowning in the lake and his body turning more and more rigid.
His consciousness was being devoured by the extreme soul-freezing cold that he couldn"t bear.
Finally, with the last bit of his willpower, he managed to activate the Endless Elemental Codex.
In the blink of an eye, all the Ice profound energy in the lake rushed towards him at an insane speed.
His dantian greedily absorbed the extreme Icy profound energy and circulated it to his profound veins.
The profound energy revolved in his profound veins at high speeds before becoming his own cultivation.
Neither Sheng Tian"s dantian nor his profound veins were affected by the extreme coldness of the profound energy.
Meanwhile, he regained some clarity as the Ice Profound Energy in his surroundings was sucked into his body.
Then, he thought for a moment before he started Heavenly Celestial Tome.
The Ice profound energy was also absorbed into his heart through which it was distributed to every part of the body.
His Body Cultivation and Energy Cultivation increased little by little with each pa.s.sing second.
But the price he had to pay was extreme coldness which didn"t decrease the least bit.
In fact, he was able to retain his consciousness and had to experience inhumane pain which is worse than losing consciousness.
But he couldn"t even scream to alleviate the psychological suffering by the pain.
Sheng Tian experienced true h.e.l.l at that moment!
When he was about to give up, the image of a beautiful maiden appeared in his mind pus.h.i.+ng him further to endure the torment.
But when he tried to touch her in his mind, she went further and further away beyond his grasp.
"My death is my victory and you will be the one to achieve my goal, for better or worse.
You won the battle but lost the War! Haha" remembering those evil lines spoken by a sinister voice, Sheng Tian unconsciously broke from his bindings and clenched his fist and uttered "Supreme One! You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!"
Then, a scene he wished never happened appeared in his mind repeatedly in his mind and Sheng Tian"s gaze grew colder each second.
Slowly, but surely Sheng Tian adapted to the extreme cold.
After an hour, he no longer s.h.i.+vered.
After 12 hours, his body is no longer rigid.
After a day, he didn"t feel tormented anymore.
Sheng Tian sensed his cultivation reaching the peak of the Emperor Realm in Energy Cultivation.
His Body cultivation in the ninth level of Lunar Realm was rising at a very slow rate.
But Sheng Tian was satisfied.
His Body Cultivation was very difficult and any improvement is an improvement, big or small.
With the increase in his body cultivation, his strength, defense, and speed naturally increased tremendously.
But most importantly, the Lunar Realm increased his regenerative prowess by an unbelievable margin.
Now, he can even regenerate limbs!
At the pinnacle of the Lunar Realm, as long as he is not killed and has enough time, he can regenerate back to his full body.
Sheng Tian could feel the barrier blocking him from entering the Zenith Realm in Body Cultivation.
After a full day and night, Sheng Tian got up from the lake.
The lake was nearly emptied!
The temperature in the realm was not as cold as before.
Sheng Tian"s body didn"t have a bit of ice as he walked out of the lake.
Earlier due to his condition, he only used spirit sense in the immediate vicinity and didn"t keep track of his clothes.
He searched for his clothes but realized that they were missing. Instantly, Sheng Tian spread his spirit sense and found something.
It was not the clothes but a person.
To be exact, it was a near-naked gorgeous woman covering herself with his robes. She was s.h.i.+vering uncontrollably as she laid at the exit of the realm.
Sheng Tian calmly walked to the woman.
The woman had a Snow White hair, absolute bewitching face and an alluring body whose curves couldn"t be covered by his robes.
Seeing him walk up to her, she curled herself like an injured kitten "Pleas..e...Please...Don"t come near."
Sheng Tian squinted his eyes and said "Stop your pathetic act and give me my clothes back. I don"t want to kill today."
"Aaah. What are you saying? I will return the clothes, don"t do anything, okay?" weakly saying so, the woman stood up revealing a s.e.xy mature body as she unintentionally or not, walked to him in an enticing way.
Watching the woman"s actions, Sheng Tian"s expression didn"t soften, in fact, his gaze turned colder.
And the woman finally reached in front of him.
Without a word, she removed the clothes as her absolutely charming body laid bare in front of him.
Despite his cold gaze, Sheng Tian"s eyes turned dull for a moment at the mind-blowing sight.
"Ugh." the next second, a groan escaped Sheng Tian"s lips.
Looking down, the hand of the woman has long since pierced into the left side of his chest, precisely- his heart.
And the timid expression of the Woman was long gone and replaced by a terrifyingly sinister and cold one.
"Men are all the same. A beauty and they will die for her despite their facades. And you call me pathetic? You are the pathetic one to covet the lake. I shall devour you and gain all the benefits. Die." she smirked as her voice filled with enthusiasm.
She expected to see a terrified expression on Sheng Tian but what greeted her was a mocking smile filled with absolute contempt and disdain.
"And here I thought this lake had no guardian beasts. I was wrong it seems.
A Charming Snow Fox at the peak of the OverLord Realm. Not bad.
But are you sure you got me?"
The smile on the woman"s face froze and she instantly paled. Horrified, she took a step back muttering "You...!"
Without speaking another word, she clutched her stomach and rolled down on the ground as she screamed in terror.
Sheng Tian took back the palm which was stealthily placed on the woman"s stomach.
He looked at the b.l.o.o.d.y wound on his chest and it was already healed.
This is the regenerative power of the Lunar Realm!
"Aaaah!" the woman screamed in horror and transformed into a beautiful snow fox before exploding into pieces with a loud bang.
Looking at the rain of flesh and blood, Sheng Tian smirked a little "Not every man is pathetic. And Illusions never worked on me."
"I wanted to spare you but you are so eager to die."
Sheng Tian"s face turned calm and expressionless as he exited the Realm.
He appeared above the clouds and rubbed his chin in contemplation.
Below was the Lands of Ultimate Fire- Extreme Fire Realm, extreme lands of lightning, wind, and earth were present as they stood aloof.
"Now, Extreme Fire Realm." he dashed towards a burning fire realm filled with horrifying fires.
In his mind, he added "Twenty days left."
