“You actually possess a trace of the origin power of that fallen ancient god within you, which is even a threat to Tier 12 experts. It's a pity that your trace of origin is too weak. If it were a bit stronger, it could pose a threat to the existence of 'Fruit'.” The Great自在天魔 noticed something unusual about Zhang Chen's body and spoke, his eyes filled with horror:
“This aura is the unique power of that fallen ancient god. How do you possess it?”
The Great自在天魔's eyes were full of confusion. He thought he had seen through some of Zhang Chen's secrets, but now he realized that he was still too naive. This kid's secrets were like an immeasurable ocean, not something he could possibly fathom.
Zhang Chen ignored the Great自在天魔, instead focusing his eyes on his Golden Finger interface:
【24 Skills (Tier 5): A wisp of the Origin of Cold Qi * Ice Seal * Freeze * Ice Body * Ice Domain (1 meter) * Gather and Scatter Formlessly (0/10000000000)】
【Note: Within the Ice Domain, you are an unkillable existence, capable of constantly regenerating with the help of the domain. As long as the domain is not destroyed, you will be immortal!】
“Although this domain is only one meter, it can still do a lot of things at critical moments.” Zhang Chen stared at the words 'immortal and indestructible', a burning light in his eyes: “Moreover, in my previous life, through scientific verification, it was proven that using cold qi can freeze a person's life, freezing the passage of their years. Can I use this cold qi to make myself eternally young and immortal?”
Various thoughts flickered through Zhang Chen's mind. As the domain slowly expanded, his thoughts seemed to extend to every corner, every inch of air within the domain. It felt as if he had absolute control over the domain, that he was a god within the domain, able to control all the laws within it, that he was the supreme creator within the domain.
Here, even if he were killed, he could rely on the domain to instantly reorganize his matter.
“As long as no one breaks my domain, I will not die.” Zhang Chen had a feeling.
At the same time, his thoughts began to extend: “The entire Third Heaven of the Spiritual World has also been transformed into a domain by that hand, controlled by it. Therefore, the Law of Cold Ice suppresses the operation of the laws of the Third Heaven of the Spiritual World, causing the laws of the Third Heaven of the Spiritual World to transform into the Law of Cold Ice. If I follow my current deduction, my domain can make me immortal and indestructible within the domain, then the owner of this hand…”
The hairs on Zhang Chen's body suddenly stood on end, and an indescribable terror surged in his heart: “Is the owner of this hand still alive?”
It must be said that at this moment, Zhang Chen was afraid, but he forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart and turned to look at the Great自在天魔: “Tell me, will the owner of this hand still be alive? How could an existence of this level die so easily?”
“Impossible!” The Great自在天魔 shook his head, confidently stating: “Absolutely impossible!”
“How so?” Zhang Chen asked.
“Since the great changes in the world, the world can no longer accommodate existences beyond Tier 12. The owner of this hand definitely surpassed Tier 12, and must have died beyond dead.” The Great自在天魔 confidently said.
“Was the Spiritual World also affected by the great changes in the world?” Zhang Chen asked.
“Of course. Didn't you see the miserable state of the ascending Thunderclap Monastery in the former First Heaven?” The Great自在天魔 said.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen relaxed and then quietly devoured the surging cold qi from the hand. At this time, wanting to level up required a trillion experience points, which was no small amount.
At this time, the number of snowflakes in the domain continued to increase. Within the domain, there seemed to be a hazy, void-like space, overlapping and interwoven with the space where the domain was located. In that space between illusion and reality, millions of snowflakes danced, falling from the sky, disappearing into the ground, and then reappearing in an inexplicable void, falling from the inexplicable void.
“When the snowflakes reach ten million, I should be able to level up!” Zhang Chen had a rough guess in his mind.
The upgrade of his skills corresponded to the number of snowflakes, increasing tenfold from one snowflake to a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, and a million.
The cold qi here was endless, so Zhang Chen wasn't worried about not having enough experience points. Instead, his eyes looked towards the area around the distant hand, and he saw dense, glittering round beads falling around the huge hand.
Experience points!
All of them were experience points!
“This is heaven-defying! I'm really going to get rich this time! I don't believe I can't grind out the method to seize lifespan from the Wood element authority.” Zhang Chen's eyes lit up as he looked at the dense experience points.
How many experience points were scattered around this hand, which looked like a small mountain?
It must be more than the tomb of the Emperor's Daughter!
“Tell me, compared to the Emperor's Daughter, who is stronger, this woman of the hand?” Zhang Chen asked. He didn't know the combat power of the owner of this hand, but he could use the Emperor's Daughter to measure it.
The Great自在天魔 scratched his head upon hearing this: “The two are not from the same era, so it's impossible to compare. But I think the Emperor's Daughter seems to be much weaker than the owner of this hand.”
“What is your proof?” Zhang Chen asked curiously.
“After the great changes in the world, the higher the cultivation base, the faster one dies. And now the owner of this hand is dead, while the Emperor's Daughter is still struggling to survive, which already shows the gap between the two sides. Perhaps the Emperor's Daughter's father, 'Earth', could compete with the owner of this hand.” The Great自在天魔 said.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen relaxed. Since the owner of this hand was dead, then he could do whatever he wanted, which was a large amount of experience points. At the same time, his eyes looked towards the endless void: “A single hand has such power, its physical body is very likely in the higher levels of the Thirty-Third Heaven. If I have the opportunity to obtain its complete body, I will definitely push my skills to an incredible level.”
Just as Zhang Chen was thinking wildly in his heart, the Great自在天魔 walked back and forth around Zhang Chen, his eyes scanning the Zhang Chen in front of him, and then looking at the snowflakes surrounding Zhang Chen, a hint of thought revealed in his eyes.
However, Zhang Chen was not in a hurry to collect experience points. His domain was open, but he couldn't move, which was also a drawback of the domain.
In the state of the domain, the speed of absorbing cold qi was hundreds of times faster than the speed of his physical body absorbing cold qi. Since the experience points had dropped, they couldn't run away. He would upgrade the skills to resist cold qi first.
So Zhang Chen tested the changes in the domain while standing in place and absorbing cold qi.
“Strange! This kid is really strange!” The Great自在天魔 walked around Zhang Chen, secretly thinking about Zhang Chen's origins in his heart. Even though he had lived for countless years, he had never seen such a strange person as Zhang Chen, making him completely unable to figure him out.
Time passed bit by bit. After two full days, the number of snowflakes in Zhang Chen's domain continued to skyrocket, increasing tenfold, from one million to ten million. As expected, the Golden Finger popped up the upgrade interface:
【24 Skills (Tier 5): A wisp of the Origin of Cold Qi * Ice Seal * Freeze * Ice Body * Ice Domain (1 meter) * Gather and Scatter Formlessly (10000000000/10000000000)】
【Note: Within the Ice Domain, you are an unkillable existence, capable of constantly regenerating with the help of the domain. As long as the domain is not destroyed, you will be immortal!】
【Status: Can be upgraded】
“Upgrade.” Zhang Chen thought, and the skill interface changed for a while. As expected, he had another skill:
“Ice Hell!”
【24 Skills (Tier 6): A wisp of the Origin of Cold Qi * Ice Seal * Freeze * Ice Body * Ice Domain (1 meter) * Gather and Scatter Formlessly * Ice Hell (0/100000000000)】
“Ice Hell?” Zhang Chen felt the information from the Golden Finger.
【Note: Your domain will open up a void, which can seal people in the void and subject them to ice torture. Once the other party enters Ice Hell, they will be marked with the Ice Hell imprint. Even if the other party escapes from Ice Hell, when night falls, Ice Hell will track them down and freeze them.】
“Ice Hell?” Zhang Chen felt the information from the Golden Finger, a strange look in his eyes: “That's a bit interesting!”
He could feel that in his domain, at the intersection of reality and illusion, an infinite void was opened up, which was where Ice Hell was located. If he could suppress it within the domain, he could imprison it in Ice Hell, causing it to suffer the endless torture of Ice Hell.
“Amazing! This skill is amazing! With this Ice Hell, my Ice Domain has a great deal of manipulation space.” Zhang Chen clapped his hands in praise. It was just a pity that Ice Hell could not store ordinary materials, but could only imprison and place materials related to mysterious power, just like the Treasure Appraising Mirror, which could only imprison materials with mysterious attributes.
Zhang Chen's eyes looked at the Golden Finger interface: “Good fellow, Tier 6 wants to upgrade to Tier 7, it actually requires a trillion experience points. Fortunately, there is the huge hand in front of me, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be grinding until the year of the monkey to accumulate this trillion experience points. This hand is so powerful, I wonder if it can allow me to directly grind this skill to the top and directly break through to Tier 12.”
Zhang Chen looked at the overwhelming cold tide surging into his Ice Domain, his eyes filled with excitement. Upgrading to Tier 6 in one day was the first time he had been so extravagant.
However, he believed that with the power of the current Extreme Cold Domain, it would not be worse than those old guys. He wondered if he could withstand the power of a Tier 12 old guy.
Zhang Chen felt a little doubtful. After all, once a cultivator reached the Yang God Realm, they could move mountains and seas and tear apart the world. His Ice Domain was strong, but it had a fatal flaw, which was that it was too small.
If his Ice Domain could be expanded by a thousand meters, the situation would definitely be very different.
Moreover, once he used Ice Domain, he couldn't move, which was simply a坑爹 (kēng diē,坑爹 is a Chinese slang, meaning 'pitiful') situation.
