Chapter 1155 Master White Mountain

The cracks in the formation covering the hill were still there and actually made it more obvious that there was someone hiding there.

"Hold the formation! Only when we can't hold on anymore will we begin our direct a.s.sault!" Lin Mu ordered.

If not for the presence of the Immortal Ascension realm expert appearing, Lin Mu would have attacked them himself. But now he couldn't afford the risk that would come with it.

"Is your grandfather near?" Lin Mu questioned Jing Luo.

Jing Luo anxiously held the jade slip and tried to contact Jing Wei. But a second later, his brows furrowed.

"I can't contact him like this. The spirit Qi in the air is too turbulent and is making the communication jade slip fail." Jing Luo said.

Lin Mu checked it with his own jade slip and found that it was true. Normally this shouldn't have been an issue, but with an Immortal Ascension realm expert attacking, the chaos in the spirit Qi was not easy to pa.s.s through.

In fact, if not for the protection of the formation, the pressure in the air itself would have rendered the weaker cultivators helpless.

Lin Mu gritted his teeth and wondered if he needed to jump in early on.

Patriarch Hua and the others were watching Lin Mu and had heard everything. They could easily guess what Lin Mu was intending to do.

"Wait, we still have the Immortal ascension realm cultivators of the top sects." Patriarch You Yi said.

"Yes! They should have already sensed it the moment the Northern tribes' Immortal Ascension realm expert approached the border." Patriarch Shandian added.

Lin Mu didn't know if the three sects were to be believed or if it was worth to do that. But in the current situation it was the best option.

'I still have the final option anyway.' Lin Mu remembered.

He had not come without multiple backups, but didn't want to use them right away.

"Alright, we'll hold on until they appear. Just continue reinforcing the formation array for now." Lin Mu stated.

"Yes alliance leader!" The formation masters stated.

With that decided, the formation array glowed as new runes appeared in the air, repairing the cracks. And while this happened, the Immortal Ascension realm expert of the Northern Tribes finally appeared on the battlefield physically.

The expert was an old man as expected and was carrying an ash white cane in his hand. His back was straight though, unlike his bearing. His eyes were sharp and gazed around the battlefield like a hawk, taking everything onto him at once.

"Seems like you weren't unfairly suppressed, Ku Mi." The old man spoke. "That turtle beast is not simple. I can sense the Dao traces of Water from it."

"What? How can a beast at the Dao Sh.e.l.l realm already have that?" Ku Mi was surprised. 'No wonder it could resist my control.'

"It is hard to say, but one thing I can tell is that beast is possibly older than you. It might also be its bloodline. But whatever it is, you cannot take it lightly." The old man said.

"I understand Master White Mountain." Ku Mi replied to her master. "But now that you're here does it matter?" She added with a grin.

"It certainly does not." Master White Mountain said with an arrogant expression.

He turned towards Xiaobao who was trying to turn the ice into water again and raised his hand.

"You might have lived long, but its time to die now, beast." Master White Mountain said and executed a skill.

His index and middle fingers joined with his thumb to become a tripod like shape. He then twisted them and pulled his hand back.

~SHUA~

Chilly air condensed within the fingers as a small object seemingly formed. The object was thin like a chopstick and was almost the same length, but one of its side was sharp while the other was f.l.a.n.g.ed.

"Let's see if your sh.e.l.l can withstand my Ice Edges Dart!" Master White Mountain threw out the dart.

~WHOOSH~

The dart soared across the battlefield, creating long trails of ice underneath it. In less than three seconds, it had already reached the large turtle.

~GOOONG~

Xiaobao let out a furious cry, knowing that he was being attacked. But just as the dart was about to touch its sh.e.l.l, the beast disappeared into thin air.

~SHLAK~

The Dart struck empty ground and exploded, creating icy spikes that were nearly a hundred meters tall.

"WHAT?!" Ku Mi exclaimed.

Master White Mountain furrowed his brows as his spirit sense checked the area from where the beast had disappeared from.

"Strange" At first, he didn't sense anything. "Spatial fluctuations?" But when he delved deeper, he realized something.

"Master White Mountain, these beasts had appeared out of nowhere earlier, too. I think they might have teleportation arrays hidden somewhere here as well." Ku Mi stated.

"Is that so?" Master White Mountain lifted his cane and seemingly chanted something under his breath.

Chilly spirit Qi swirled around him as the ice elemental in the air concentrated like crazy. The ash white cane started absorbing it all, and a few moments later had sucked it all in.

"SHATTERING GLACIER CANE!" Master White Mountain threw the cane toward the ground.

~CRACK~

Surprisingly though, the cane didn't directly drill into the ground. Instead, it was only embedded into it, about three inches deep.

~KACHA~ KACHA~ KACHA~

But then the ground started to freeze at a blinding speed and more and more ice formed over it. The cane rose along with the ice and stayed on top as the entire battlefield became a glacier.

The army of the Northern tribes was fine though and the old man controlled his skill to simply lift them along with the ice.

The effect of this skill was soon seen.

The first to break down were the teleportation gates. They simply couldn't bear the cold and turned brittle from it. So much so that the gusts of wind alone were enough to break them.

But that was merely the start.

"THE BARRIER IS FALLING!" The formation masters of the alliance shouted.
