Chapter 3173: A Mysterious Power
When she heard that, the Snow Goddess’s eyes suddenly narrowed. Shock appeared in her cold eyes. “A power even greater than the twin swords? Elder sister, did you sense it wrong? The twin swords in their peak condition were already sovereign god artifacts even without fusing. The Chaotic Force they produced after fusing was even more startling.”
“Chaotic Force is already an invincible power that stands at the very apex. Apart from Xuanhuang Qi, what other power can rival Chaotic Force?” The Snow Goddess refused to believe this.
“Little sister, you’re correct. Chaotic Force is indeed an invincible power that stands at the very apex. I’ve experienced the Chaotic Force from the fusion of the twin swords back then too. That is indeed a terrifying power that can slay Grand Exalts.” The Ice Goddess’s voice rang out slowly. It was filled with a sense of seriousness. “However, the chilling sensation from the Chaotic Force produced by the fusion of the twin swords comes nowhere close to the mysterious power that appeared in the lower world.”
“This power is extremely foreign. It doesn’t belong to any sovereign or sovereign god artifact, nor has it appeared in any of the past aeons. There is absolutely no record or information on this power either.”
“However, the mysterious power is still below Chaotic Force in terms of its level. The reason why I found it even more terrifying than Chaotic Force was because the Chaotic Force produced by the fusion of the twin swords is just a single strand at the end of the day.”
“The mysterious power that has never appeared before gives me a feeling that resembles a boundless ocean. It is an endless, tremendous power.”
“However, how can such a terrifying power exist in the Saints’ World? Why did this power arrive in the lower world?”
The Ice Goddess’s voice was filled with confusion and perplexion.
“Little sister, you’ve been there in the past. Did you discover anything?” After a moment of silence, the Ice Goddess’s voice rang out again.
Upon hearing about the lower world, the Snow Goddess’s eyes blanked out for a moment, but she recovered very quickly. After a while of thought, she shook her head gently in the end and said, “Elder sister, when did that power appear?”
The Ice Goddess fell silent again, but the power of ways flowed through the colossal cavern of ice, clearly calculating and peering into the past.
“The mysterious power appeared around ninety thousand years ago.” After quite a while, the Ice Goddess’ feeble voice rang out again.
“Ninety thousand years ago?” The Snow Goddess furrowed her brows slightly and said, “Protector Shui has remained in the lower world for three million years, yet she’s never mentioned this before. With her cultivation back then, she was unstoppable in the lower world. Nothing could have fooled her senses. Logically speaking, protector Shui must have known if such a great power descended.”
Reaching there, the Snow Goddess paused for a moment before continuing, “And with the fragile space of the lower world, it would have collapsed a long time ago if such a great power really did descend.”
“The mysterious power can twist the laws and change the elements of the world, so there’s nothing strange about the world not collapsing. Looks like I need to recover as soon as possible before personally checking the lower world.”
“A terrifying power that I’ve never seen or heard of has suddenly appeared in the world. I must get to the bottom of this.”
Afterwards, the icy cavern sank into silence. Neither the Snow Goddess nor the Ice Goddess said anything more. However, the Snow Goddess’s essence blood continued to merge into the ice casket droplet by droplet.
The casket of ice had turned blood-red a long time ago as if it had been rinsed in blood. It shone with dazzling, red light.
Having lost a vast quantity of essence blood, the Snow Goddess became feeble. She was in an extremely haggard state.
Boom!
Three days later, there was finally a rumble, and the blood-red casket exploded. Terrifying coldness immediately surged out.
The coldness was like the ways of the world, weaving into the chains that formed the order of the world. They formed strand by strand endlessly as they spread through the icy cavern like they were trying to manifest a world of ice.
At the very centre of the coldness, a figure surrounded by the Laws of Ice slowly appeared, illusionary and hazy. It was only possible to make out that she was a woman. Her true appearance was obscured.
The figure was one of the seven great Grand Exalts of the past, the Ice Goddess!
She had been prematurely awakened at the cost of the Snow Goddess losing a vast quantity of essence blood.
Soon afterwards, a fist-sized fruit suddenly appeared, wrapped in a chaotic presence and shining with dazzling, hazy light.
That was a Chaos Fruit of Ways.
As soon as the Chaos Fruit of Ways appeared, it immediately turned into a tremendous, surging power that entered the Ice Goddess.
With the power’s support, the Ice Goddess’s presence immediately began to recover at an unimaginable rate.
……
…
In the danger-ridden Burial Zone of the ruins of the Spirits’ World, the vestiges of a Grand Exalt that had been discovered many years ago remained in the distance. The experts from various peak organisations of the Saints’ World had already formed an alliance, casting down a powerful formation that sealed the vestiges inside. Afterwards, they sent in outstanding disciples from their various clans group after group in an attempt to obtain the legacy.
As for the people from the Spiritsages, they had been blocked outside. All the peak organisations from the Saints’ World blocked the Spiritsages with great cooperation, preventing them from approaching the vestiges of the Grand Exalt.
They all understood that an ancestor of the Spiritsages left behind this legacy. If the Spiritsages entered the place, perhaps these organisations from the Saints’ World would completely lose the opportunity to obtain the legacy.
Even if this legacy came from the ancestor of the Spiritsages and might not have been suitable for people of the Saints’ World, it did not affect their obsession and greed for it at all.
For the sake of this, they even went as far as to fight, leaving each other bloodied.
As for the people of the Spiritsages, they were absolutely furious, but they were forced to put up with this due to their insufficient strength. They gazed at their ancestor’s legacy from afar, but there was nothing that they could do.
In another obscure region of the Burial Zone, an extremely well-hidden formation operated silently, not only cutting off all presences, but even hiding away the space there.
At this very moment, there was another extremely complicated and profound formation being carved into the ground within the concealing formation.
A young, valiant woman in white sat in the centre of the formation. Her hands constantly moved about, forming profound hand seals.
She was Fang Jing!
Suddenly, Fang Jing seemed to sense something. Joy flashed through her eyes, and she changed her hand seals, calling out, “Dominion’s Brush, return immediately!”
