“It looks like you are now as useless as an ordinary mortal!”

Xiao Lintian's crazed laughter echoed as the surrounding sky-prides looked at Chu Kuangren and pondered.

'Is Chu Kuangren never going to return to his prime anymore?'

“Phew…”

Chu Kuangren rubbed his hands and exhaled, saying, “Oh my, it really is cold. I think the lame joke just made it colder.”

“Chu Kuangren, I don't care how much of a cripple you are now, but you'll still have to pay for all the humiliation and shame you've brought upon me in the past!”

He prepared himself as he took a step forward and unleashed a fist attack towards his opponent.

His overbearing fist strength surged forth like a golden torrent. However, when it got closer to Chu Kuangren, it was eventually blocked by a runic light barrier.

The surrounding sky-prides stared at that scene.

“He does indeed possess some sort of rune technique.”

“But how is he doing it?”

Spiritual power was required to control the use of runes, yet Chu Kuangren could still control thousands of them effortlessly despite having no spiritual power at all.

Everyone was puzzled by how he was able to do it.

“This blizzard originates from the power of nature.” Chu Kuangren stretched out his hand. As the snowflakes landed and melted in his palm, he chuckled. “I didn't think there'd be people who would underestimate this blizzard and the power of nature.”

On one hand, it seemed like he was talking about Xiao Lintian, but on another, it seemed like he was addressing everyone.

As soon as his voice dropped, the surrounding blizzard became more intense. More than ten times stronger than it was before, the blizzard swept throughout the whole area!

The sudden change in weather shocked everyone.

“What's going on?!”

“Can Chu Kuangren control the blizzard itself?”

“From what I've heard, the power of runes is harnessed and gathered from the Daoist Rhymes of mother nature. In other words, it is the power to control nature itself. Hence, it's not surprising to see that Chu Kuangren can manipulate the winds and snow.”

“But controlling them to this extent is a little too much, isn't it?”

As the violent blizzard filled the void, everyone's field of vision was blocked, so much that they had to channel their spiritual power to resist it.

Meanwhile, both Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu merely stood unmoved, not affected by the blizzard at all. In fact, it would automatically change direction as soon as it got closer to them.

“Everyone, look!”

Guo San suddenly looked into the sky and exclaimed.

When everyone looked up, all of them gasped.

In the sky, dark clouds were converging into a gigantic black vortex. Within it, countless runes began to appear one by one, eventually forming a white blizzard sword!!

Hovering above everyone, the blizzard sword was hundreds of meters long. It emanated a horrifying chill throughout the area that made everyone tremble in fear.

The terrifying chill spread far and wide, freezing every river and lake within a five hundred meter radius!

“What a frightening chill!”

“That power contained in this sword… How is this possible?!”

“D*mn, if anyone insists that his cultivation base is sealed, I'm going to punch him. How the f*ck is this happening for someone with no cultivation base?!”

Everyone at the scene was shocked.

This was especially true for the arrogant Xiao Lintian whose face had turned pale. This was because he was the blizzard sword's target!

Compared to everyone else, the aura he felt was even more terrifying!

“How is this possible?!”

“How can he be so skilled in runes?!”

Xiao Lintian could not believe it.

He mustered all the spiritual power he could and summoned his Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique to its fullest strength to form the Divine Commander Avatar. Then, he lifted his head and looked into the sky.

A burst of spiritual thought emerged from his body and turned into an elderly man donned in long golden robes.

That elderly man was the current Sect Leader of the Heavenly Golden Palace, Sage Ruler Changqin.

As of this moment, he had appeared in his spiritual thought form!

“W-what the h.e.l.l is going on!”

When Sage Ruler Changqin appeared and saw the hundred-meter-long blizzard sword in the air, he could not help but gasp.

Even he would find it hard to defend himself against the attack from a sword like that!

“Sect Leader, it's Chu Kuangren!”

Xiao Lintian yelled.

Sage Ruler Changqin looked into the distance and saw Chu Kuangren in a cloak. “Chu Kuangren, hold your attack this instance!”

However, Chu Kuangren ignored him and uttered a single word.

“Fall!”

Boom!!

As if the void was frozen by the cold, the endless blizzard gathered on the rune-made blizzard sword before it suddenly fell!

“D*mn it!!”

Without another moment to spare, Sage Ruler Changqin channeled the power of this spiritual thought form to its limit and unleashed a fierce slam.

The palm qi formed into a golden torrent that surged towards the blizzard sword. A second after the collision, that golden torrent was immediately frozen by the cold and shattered into frost and snow.

“Impossible!!”

Sage Ruler Changqin cried out in shock and mustered his full strength.

Nevertheless, how much power could he possibly summon as a mere spiritual thought form? He stood no chance against the blizzard sword at all!

It was then the sword qi landed on Sage Ruler Changqin's body, ripping him to shreds!

The remaining Xiao Lintian roared as he urged the power of the Divine Commander Avatar to its fullest with both his hands gripping firmly onto the blizzard sword.

However, the cold started to freeze the Divine Commander Avatar, spreading from its hand to its whole body. In the end, it shattered into frost and snow as well.

At the last minute, Xiao Lintian activated some sort of secret technique to forcibly increase his power in an attempt to escape from the blizzard sword's range of attack.

Even so, he was too close to the blizzard sword at that time.

The whole Divine Predictor City rumbled when that sword landed onto the ground, and its blizzard enshrouded the entire city.

Xiao Lintian location, especially, took the full blow of that blizzard runic power. Even if he managed to evade the blizzard sword, he could not escape the fate of being frozen by the blizzard.

“Let's go.”

Chu Kuangren pulled his cloak tighter to him as he turned around and left.

Holding the umbrella over him, Lan Yu followed along.

“Master, where should we head next?”

“The next stop is Craggy Ocean Tower.”

Along with the blizzard, Chu Kuangren's voice traveled into everyone's ears.

When the power of the blizzard gradually died down, everyone walked out and stared at Chu Kuangren's silhouette with horror.

“That's too terrifying.”

“Such mastery in runic Dao is just too frightening.”

“Everyone, look… Look over there!”

Someone pointed at something not far away and exclaimed.

Now that the blizzard had dispersed, they saw a lifelike ice statue standing there with a look of horror still on its face.

“It's… It's Xiao Lintian!”

“He's frozen to ice!”

Everyone walked up towards him.

Feng Yaorao curiously reached out to touch it before she instantly retracted her hand as if she had been electrocuted by the cold.

“It's so cold!”

Her finger had turned bluish purple from the cold.

“If it's so terrifyingly cold just by touch, then isn't the frozen Xiao Lintian already…”

Before Feng Yaorao could finish speaking, Xiao Lintian's ice statue shattered into a pile of ice shards all over the ground.

He was nothing short of being dead by that point.

Gulp…

Everyone could not help but gulp as the horror on their faces became worse. If someone as strong as Xiao Lintian could not defend against a single runic sword attack from Chu Kuangren, then how strong could Chu Kuangren be?!

“Why do I have the feeling that he is much more terrifying with his cultivation sealed off!” Guo San's voice was trembling.

“Where did he say he was going next?”

“The Craggy Ocean Tower!”

Everyone then looked in a certain direction.

It was the path to the Craggy Ocean Tower.

Everyone knew that the Craggy Ocean Tower was about to face a terrifying being that the world had never experienced before.
