#550 - Ice World
A wisp of scorching heat erupted around Zhang Chen, and the next moment, Zhang Chen, who had been frozen, finally came back to life. His eyes looked at the icy world before him, a look of horror in his eyes: "What a powerful force of ice and cold! My thoughts couldn't even resist, and I was directly frozen."
"Kid, this is the power left behind by an ancient existence. You're lucky you weren't frozen to death. Consider yourself blessed by the heavens," the Great自在天魔 replied.
Zhang Chen ignored the Great自在天魔's words and instead asked about the direction of the world's center: "Which direction is the world's center in?"
The Great自在天魔 sensed for a moment and pointed in a certain direction: "That way! If you transform into that vampire bat, it will take you at least a hundred years to fly there."
"A hundred years? Are you kidding me? Is the mental world that big?" A hint of doubt appeared in Zhang Chen's eyes. Was this old thing trying to fool him?
"Your vampire bat is a hibernating animal. The reason you don't need to hibernate outside is because your bloodline power is much stronger than the winter outside. But in the Third Heaven, the blizzard gathers in this place, containing the power of ancient gods' rules. Your bloodline is far inferior. As long as you transform into the vampire bat state, your bloodline power will be affected by the cold air of heaven and earth, and your strength will be greatly reduced. I predict that you can fly to the center of the world in a hundred years, and that's already an overestimate of your speed," said the Great自在天魔.
Zhang Chen frowned upon hearing this: "In that case, I need to think of another way to travel? Or should I increase the level of my Blood Control Technique to resist the power of the rules of heaven and earth?"
"Theoretically, yes," said the Great自在天魔.
Zhang Chen was silent for a moment, carefully thinking and deducing in his mind: "This place is the Third Heaven, and countless natural treasures should be buried here. If I can use the power of Devour to devour them, I might be able to quickly increase the skill level."
Zhang Chen turned his head to look at the frozen ice and snow world. The tall plants were covered and wrapped in ice, and they looked lush and vibrant, as if they were still alive.
"You don't need to think about these plants. Under such extreme cold, all the plants have been frozen to death in an instant and turned into powder. Their vitality has been frozen. If you want to find some good fortune, you might as well go and see those frozen creatures. Those creatures were frozen to death, but their flesh and blood are still preserved. There should still be remnants of good fortune in their bodies. If you swallow them, it will be a great benefit to you," the Great自在天魔 said to Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen glanced at the Great自在天魔 and activated the Wood Authority to sense the plants covered by the ice. Then, a look of disappointment appeared in his eyes. Those plants were indeed frozen to death.
"First find the frozen corpses of creatures. The creatures that can be frozen in the Third Heaven are not ordinary lives," Zhang Chen's eyes showed a hint of anticipation. He strode through the icy world. Before he had walked for long, he saw a frozen great demon in the endless ice and snow.
The great demon had a lobster head, but its lower body was that of a human. It held a steel fork in its hand, its face fierce and ferocious, as if roaring at the sky.
"There is life here," Zhang Chen saw the big shrimp, his eyes showing a hint of joy. As he gradually approached and turned past the big tree in front of him, his eyes lit up. Before, his vision was blocked by the big tree, but after he approached, his vision gradually widened. After seeing the shrimp soldier, there were tens of thousands of shrimp soldiers, maintaining a forward posture, frozen in the ice and snow.
"These are the shrimp soldiers of the Sea Clan. How were they frozen here?" Zhang Chen looked at the frozen shrimp soldiers, as if he saw a dense number of points.
"There must have been a major change in the Thirty-Third Heaven back then. Looking at the expressions of these shrimp soldiers, it seems that they came all the way from the sea, wanting to fight some unknown enemy, but before they could get close to the enemy, they were frozen by the aftershocks of the power of the Upper Realm," the Great自在天魔 said to Zhang Chen after wandering around the shrimp soldiers.
Zhang Chen nodded, agreeing with the Great自在天魔's deduction. His eyes scanned the shrimp soldiers up and down, and then he slapped out a palm, wanting to break the ice and expose the flesh and blood of the shrimp soldiers inside for him to devour. But who knew that after his punch landed, the ice was as immovable as a mountain of steel, without the slightest trace of damage.
"Kid, these shrimp soldiers are at least at the seventh level, but they were frozen in an instant by the ice. They couldn't break the ice before they died. Do you think your power is stronger than these shrimp soldiers?" The Great自在天魔 said from the side.
Zhang Chen didn't speak upon hearing this, but his eyes were fixed on the ice in front of him. His face was full of calmness. So what if he couldn't break the ice? He still had the mouthparts of the congenital mosquito.
"I know you want to say that you still have the mouthparts of the congenital mosquito, right?" The Great自在天魔 seemed to know what Zhang Chen was thinking and said with a smile on the side.
Zhang Chen was shocked when he heard the words of the Great自在天魔, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart. He quickly summoned the mouthparts of the congenital mosquito, but who knew that the mouthparts of the congenital mosquito directly entered a dormant state in this icy world. No matter how Zhang Chen drove it, he couldn't shake it in the slightest.
"Kid, that congenital mosquito seems very powerful to you, but in front of the existence who cast a supernatural power to freeze the entire Thirty-Third Heaven, it's just a mosquito that can be slapped to death at will. The gap between them is as big as the gap between ordinary people and ordinary mosquitoes! The power of the rules left behind by that Holy Supernatural Power has become the law of operation of the Thirty-Third Heaven. Mosquitoes can't escape the hibernation characteristics in winter, so your skill is useless," said the Great自在天魔.
Zhang Chen thought of Water Control Technique. He has Water Control Technique, so he should be able to control the ice in front of him, right?
But as Zhang Chen activated Water Control Technique, his face darkened in the next moment, because the water essence in the world was as heavy as Mount Tai, and he couldn't mobilize it at all.
Zhang Chen probably understood in his heart that his Water Control Technique authority should be lower than the mysterious law authority between heaven and earth, so he couldn't master the frozen water vapor in the air.
The water vapor in the entire air was like steel, and Zhang Chen couldn't shake it at all.
Just looking at the Great自在天魔's 'watching the fun' expression, Zhang Chen refused to admit defeat in his heart.
"I still have the Ba Snake space! As long as I swallow it into the Ba Snake space, I can take it back and slowly digest it," Zhang Chen said.
The Great自在天魔 shook his head: "All the objects in the entire world have been frozen into a whole, unless you have the ability to freeze the entire world, otherwise..."
Zhang Chen's face became even more gloomy after hearing the Great自在天魔's words. Although the other party didn't finish speaking, he knew what the word 'otherwise' meant.
"I still have Solar Charcoal Fire!" Zhang Chen said again.
Although Solar Charcoal Fire is a ninth-level skill, its power far exceeds that of a ninth-level skill. As long as charcoal fire is accumulated, it is enough to melt the ice.
"Solar Charcoal Fire contains the power of Solar True Fire. Accumulating it is enough to melt the ice, but this is like an ordinary person holding a piece of coal fire to melt a piece of ice in the ice and snow. The difficulty can be imagined. Although Solar Charcoal Fire can melt the ice in front of you, the amount of Solar Charcoal Fire you can summon is too small," the Great自在天魔 said, "If you want to melt an animal out, I don't know how long it will take."
"According to your statement, I might as well just give up and waste time here?" Zhang Chen turned to look at the Great自在天魔, his eyes revealing an unkind look.
Seeing that Zhang Chen was about to get angry, the Great自在天魔 quickly said: "My meaning is that we shouldn't waste time on these little guys. We should directly look for the origin of the ice-sealed world. As long as we master the origin, the ice of the entire Third Heaven will melt in an instant. At that time, everything, all the materials, will be yours!"
"There's some truth in that. Can you confirm the source of the extreme cold power?" Zhang Chen asked.
The Great自在天魔 nodded: "The source is about three thousand miles away from here. If you can travel a hundred miles a day, it will take us about a month to get there."
"Traveling a hundred miles a day is not difficult!" Zhang Chen looked at the white world, completely covered by ice. He thought of skis. If he assembled a pair of skis, wouldn't his speed increase directly?
Using skis to ski, traveling a hundred miles a day should not be difficult.
It's just that this place is covered by ice and snow. Where should he find the materials to make skis?
There was no way, Zhang Chen could only use his own heat to melt the ice and snow. After the ice and snow were melted, it was mastered by Zhang Chen's Water Control Technique, and gradually transformed into the appearance of a sled.
Zhang Chen transformed a little bit as the ice and snow melted. After a full three hours, Zhang Chen assembled a sled completely composed of ice and snow.
It's just that at this time, Zhang Chen noticed something was wrong, because he noticed a trace of cold air, which actually passed through the scorching heat and began to invade his soul again, causing his soul to feel a chill.
"Go back quickly. It must be because when your charcoal fire was fighting against the cold air, the power of the charcoal fire was suppressed by the power of the ice, so your charcoal fire power began to weaken, and the resistance also weakened. We must go back," said the Great自在天魔.
Zhang Chen stood in the ice and snow and didn't go back directly. Instead, he raised his eyes to look at the icy world in front of him. He was thinking about whether he could get some skills from the icy world in front of him, so that he could gain the power to fight against the ice and snow rules.
"If the icy world in front of me drops skills, then I might have a chance to gain the power to fight against the ice-sealing power, and even directly master this power that can freeze everything," Zhang Chen's eyes revealed a trace of thought: "I wonder if my Golden Shear can cut open the icy world here, or cut open the ice in front of me."
"Kid, what are you thinking about?" The Great自在天魔 asked.
"Thinking about some things," Zhang Chen said.
