NOVPUBIn front of Mo Junling, the ice crystal ground bulged upward sharply and quickly solidified into shape, transforming into an ice crystal soldier clad in ice armor, wielding a long spear.
This ice crystal soldier stood two meters tall, extremely burly, and without any hesitation rushed at Mo Junling the moment it appeared.
The soldier shook its spear, concentrating force into a single point, and thrust straight at Mo Junling’s chest, akin to a well-trained soldier in both strength and speed—terrifying to behold, comparable to a martial artist who had achieved great accomplishment in the Martial Arts Intent Realm!
"Come on!"
Mo Junling had anticipated this; he knew there would be other challenges on the Profound Ice Road. Unafraid, he simply thrust out with a spear!
"Clang!"
The tip of the spear collided with the tip of the spear, ringing out with a crisp sound of metal striking metal.
Mo Junling was somewhat surprised, for his thrust aimed to destroy the ice crystal soldier’s weapon and pierce through it. However, when the weapons collided, the ice crystal soldier’s spear suffered no damage.
One should know that the long spear in Mo Junling’s hands was a divine weapon of the ancestors of the Rakshasa Sect’s Martial Saints, a rare find in this world. Yet under the superior force, how could it have failed to destroy the opponent’s weapon?
Despite his surprise, Mo Junling did not slow his movements. In the collision between the long spear and the ice crystal soldier’s spear, the soldier’s towering body was shaken and took a step back.
"Crack!"
Meanwhile, Mo Junling, with both hands on his spear, swung it in a sweeping blow that whipped up an astonishing whooshing sound, furiously smashing into the body of the ice crystal soldier. Instantly, the soldier’s body shattered into fragments that burst apart, dissolving into pieces, leaving only its spear behind.
Mo Junling reached out and grabbed the spear, a flash of insight in his eyes, "This spear could withstand my Soul-slaying Spear without breaking; it’s definitely out of the ordinary. It seems this is the reward of the Profound Ice Road!"
Mo Junling, wearing a Storage Treasure bracelet, flashed a bright light and stored the spear inside. Though he couldn’t use it, the spear was definitely made of rare material and held immense value. It was not to be passed up!
"Let’s go, our turn!"
Seeing this, the others stepped onto the Profound Ice Road one after another.
As Su Changkong stepped onto the Profound Ice Road, a surge of cold air attacked him from the ground. He did not use his True Yuan; instead, he circulated the Turtle Breathing True Qi, forming a Qi Armor. The ground released an onslaught of cold, enough to freeze the Turtle Breathing True Qi.
But the Turtle Breathing True Qi flowed slowly, like a river, difficult to freeze, allowing him to move forward on the Profound Ice Road.
"So that’s it... the faster one travels on the Profound Ice Road, the more and more dense the cold attack received; no wonder Mo Junling was moving so slowly."
Upon stepping onto the Profound Ice Road himself, Su Changkong also noticed the key point—that one must move slowly or face increasingly dense and powerful cold attacks!
After moving ten meters, the ground bulged with ice crystals, and another ice crystal soldier wielding a long sword and clad in ice armor emerged. It swung its sword at Su Changkong, attempting a downward chop at his head.
The chop was straightforward, but its speed and strength were incredibly fast. Being on the Profound Ice Road, where rapid movement was impossible, ordinary martial artists would find themselves in grave danger.
"Phssht!"
However, Su Changkong took a step out, the Iron-Cutting Sword unsheathing as its blade turned into a silk-like line that swept past. The Iron-Cutting Sword overtook the blow, leaving a crack at the neck of the ice crystal soldier, sending the head flying.
Struck with a fatal blow, the ice crystal soldier instantly collapsed into bits of ice crystal, melting into the ice-crystal-laid ground, with only the long sword left behind.
"Strange... this sword is forged from refined iron, but why is its quality so good?"
Su Changkong picked up the ice crystal soldier’s long sword and felt a surge of surprise after sensing it.
With Su Changkong’s forging skills, he recognized the material of the sword at a glance. The materials used were only average, but its toughness and sharpness far exceeded the scope of refined iron!
It was as if a piece of wood now possessed a quality harder than iron, completely defying common sense!
"Could it be... the power of Divine Skills?"
Su Changkong’s mind stirred, thinking of a possibility.
To turn ’scrap iron’ into something tougher and more extraordinary than top-notch metal was beyond the realms of common sense. And achieving such an effect, the first thing that came to Su Changkong’s mind was Divine Skills!
Divine Skills—the transformation of the impossible into the possible, capable of breaking the laws of nature.
Could the Divine Skill mastered by the Heavenly Dragon Martial Saint turn an ordinary weapon into a divine weapon? What kind of Divine Skill was that?
"Let’s get through the Profound Ice Road first!" Though amazed, Su Changkong didn’t have much time to study it; he stored the long sword in the Bag of Book Fragrance and continued onward.
The other nine people also progressed on the Profound Ice Road, not interfering with each other.
Su Changkong noticed that every set distance he covered, ice crystal soldiers would appear, attacking them on the Profound Ice Road. The number of soldiers increased too, and since they couldn’t move quickly, even facing soldiers wielding divine weapons was somewhat pressuring.
Still, everyone present was an exceptionally extraordinary top-level expert and continued to advance steadily.
"Is this all the trouble that the Profound Ice Road has to offer?"
The Mysterious Yin Demon Girl’s sleeves fluttered as she entwined an ice crystal soldier like a red python, then tightened her grip, crushing it into fragments. She mused to herself that the difficulties of the Profound Ice Road didn’t seem major to them, and those divine weapons weren’t a big gain either.
"Boom boom boom!"
