Volume 1: The Beauty of Misfortune Chapter 952: Ice Dire Wolf
"A quarter of an hour? Is it that long?" Mu Xiaolan whispered to herself. Although she had never participated in the assessment of the Snow Palace, she had heard about it more or less in the Ice Phoenix Divine Sect for so many years.
"This is not important." Mu Sushan said with a smile: "Perhaps you should think carefully about why he specifically asked you the question just now."
"Ah?" Mu Xiaolan looked puzzled.
"The assessment of the Blizzard Realm is quite physically demanding," Mu Sushan said slowly: "Most of the Xuan practitioners, whether they passed or not, were out of breath after the Blizzard Realm was closed, and Yun Che not only rushed into the top 1,000 with the Xuan power of the Sovereign Xuan Realm, but also looked normal, almost without any sign of panting... Hehe, this young man brought back from the lower realm by the Ice Cloud Palace Master is really not simple. There may be some surprises in a while."
"Ah?" Mu Xiaolan was even more confused.
Yun Che stood in the Xuan array and saw at a glance that the man named Feng Mo was also in it. Not only did he pass the second level assessment, but he also seemed to be ranked quite high. Feeling the gaze, Feng Mo also looked up at him, revealing a rather strange look.
"The final test...Ice Profound Realm! Don't die too quickly!"
As Ji Hanfeng's voice fell, a blue light shot up from the mysterious formation, completely submerging the figures of all the examinees in the formation.
The world around Yun Che suddenly turned ice blue, and then he felt the changes in the world around him. All the auras disappeared in an instant. When the light around him suddenly dissipated, a space built of ice crystals appeared in front of him.
The world of Ice Profound Realm!
This space is independent and closed, and it is extremely small. The length, width and height are less than a hundred feet. The end and edge can be seen at a glance. The ice layer condensed by the extremely high level of ice profound force closed this world, reflecting the cold light of the ice soul piercing the heart.
Yun Che had just seen the world he was in, and a cold light flashed in front of his eyes, quickly reflecting a beast shadow with a body length of ten feet... The whole body is snow-white, the claws are like cold blades, and the eyes are bloodshot. It is an ice wolf that releases a bloodthirsty breath!
Yun Che's ice wolf was not rare, because it could be seen everywhere in the Ice Pole Snow Region. However, the one in front of him was not as good as a single hair of it, even if all the ice wolves in the Ice Pole Snow Region were added together. The terrifying aura it released was clearly far superior to Feng Xue'er and the Little Demon Queen.
This was a terrifying profound beast with the power of the divine way! Its strength was comparable to that of a profound practitioner in the early stage of the Divine Origin Realm!
The first moment the ice wolf appeared, it let out a bloody roar and suddenly pounced on him. Yun Che was a projection, and this ice wolf was also a projection. It had no emotions, and its only purpose of existence was to tear the creatures in front of it at all costs, not giving the other party even a chance to breathe.
"Purgatory!!"
A profound beast with the power of the divine way was definitely not something Yun Che could resist under normal circumstances. His evil god realm gate was instantly opened, and his whole body of profound power surged, but he still did not dare to take it head-on, but instead used the Star God Fragment Shadow to quickly move away.
Hiss!
The ice wolf pounced into the air. As soon as its front paws touched the ground, it turned around like lightning and pounced on Yun Che again. At the same time, the temperature of the Ice Profound Realm suddenly dropped, and countless ice spikes grew in the void, piercing Yun Che with an extremely sharp whistle.
What... what! ?
Yun Che was suddenly shocked by the speed of the ice wolf. He ducked down, moved again close to the ground, and flashed under the ice wolf. He exchanged positions with the ice wolf in an instant, but in this small space, ice spikes had become everywhere. Yun Che shouted, and the profound energy on his body exploded, smashing all the ice spikes that attacked him. But at the moment when the energy was exhausted, more than a dozen ice spikes still pierced through the aftermath of the power and fiercely pierced his body.
Bang bang bang bang...
With Yun Che's body strength, it was really difficult to get hurt. But what attacked him at this moment was the power of the divine way that transcended the level of the Tianxuan Continent. His chest and back were immediately covered with blood. The severe pain made Yun Che frown and punched himself in the chest. Suddenly, all the barbs that pierced his body were shaken out and shattered into ice powder.
What a terrible mysterious beast... After all, it is a mysterious beast from the God Realm.
The ice wolf, which missed the second time, turned around again, and its snow-white wolf body flew over. Before it got close, the wolf claws had already torn out in the air, and an ice blade that was even bigger than its body instantly condensed and slashed towards Yun Che.
…………………………
"Senior Sushan, this last level of the test... What exactly is in the Ice Profound Realm?" Mu Xiaolan asked Mu Sushan.
"Oh? Are you starting to worry about that kid now?" Mu Sushan said with a smile.
"I don't bother to worry about him." Mu Xiaolan curled her nose: "I'm just curious."
"It's the Ice Dire Wolf." Mu Sushan replied.
"Ice Direwolf... a mysterious beast of the first level of the Divine Cloud Realm?" Mu Xiaolan exclaimed.
"That's right, and there are more than one." Mu Sushan explained: "After entering the Ice Profound Realm, the examinee will first face an Ice Direwolf. After a period of time, more Ice Direwolves will appear, but it will no longer be one, but two, three, four... Each time, there will be one more."
"Most of the examinees who participate in the assessment of the Frost Snow Palace are the best who have just entered the Divine Origin Realm and can pass the second level of the assessment. They can easily deal with one Ice Direwolf, but facing two at the same time is a bit tricky. Facing three will be dangerous, and facing four at the same time is even more difficult. Moreover, each wave of Ice Direwolves appears at a fixed time. For example, three Ice Direwolves will appear at once in the third wave, but if these three Ice Direwolves are not killed before the fourth wave of Ice Direwolves appears, then after the fourth wave appears, the examinee will face seven at the same time... Hehe, the result is of course certain death."
"Although its body is relatively fragile, its attack ability is almost the strongest among the same level of profound beasts, and it also has a very strong ferocity. Yun Che...he..." Mu Xiaolan stuttered: "He will be torn into pieces immediately."
"Ah!!!!"
As soon as Mu Xiaolan finished speaking, a scream rang out, and a figure flew out of the profound formation and fell heavily to the ground.
The first profound practitioner to die in the Ice Profound Realm was ejected.
"Humph, waste." Ji Hanfeng, who was supervising the assessment, snorted disdainfully.
"Ah... Yun Che!!" Mu Xiaolan subconsciously exclaimed and rushed towards the figure in a hurry. With Yun Che's profound strength of only the fifth level of the Sovereign Profound Realm, the only consequence in front of the brutal and terrifying Ice Dire Wolf was that he would be torn into pieces in an instant. The first person to die under the claws of the Ice Dire Wolf could only be him.
But before she got close, she stopped there again, her pair of icy eyes widened... because the figure that fell to the ground was not Yun Che.
"Hmm?" Ji Hanfeng on the other side also frowned.
The first examinee who was ejected from the mysterious formation sat on the ground, his face pale, and he had not recovered from the fear of "death" for a while. Because in the Ice Profound Realm, he clearly saw himself being torn into pieces by the Ice Dire Wolf.
……………………
Bang! !
The ice blade slashed Yun Che's phantom, cut heavily on the ice wall behind, and nailed it directly on it.
The terrible attack of the ice wolf was all dodged by Yun Che with the Star God Fragment. But he knew very well in his heart that with the ice wolf and its terrible speed and the narrowness of this space, it was definitely not a wise move to deal with it like this, and he had to take the initiative to attack.
And this time, the ice wolf did not pounce forward, but opened its mouth wide, and a stream of cold air gushed out. The thick ice fog immediately spread rapidly in the Ice Profound Realm. The temperature of the already cold space dropped at a terrifying speed.
Cold air! ?
Yun Che's eyes flashed, and he actually rushed towards the ice fog like lightning.
The cold air spewed out by the ice wolf would instantly freeze an emperor into an ice sculpture if he was slightly touched. As the cold air spread, all beings in the entire Ice Profound Realm would be frozen.
But it would definitely not affect Yun Che.
Yun Che did not dare to take its power, claws, ice spikes, and ice blades head-on. But it was extremely stupid to use cold air against Yun Che.
The ice wolf that released cold air was exposed, and Yun Che rushed to its side, condensed his profound energy, and punched it.
Ji Hanfeng said that weapons could not be used in the Ice Profound Realm. But Hong'er might be an exception... because she was not a weapon in essence, but a special existence connected to his soul and will. However, he did not interrupt the attempt to summon Hong'er, because he disdained "cheating".
Under Yun Che's bombardment, the ice wolf screamed, flew out, and slammed hard on the ice wall, shaking the entire small space slightly. Yun Che looked at the fist that he had just hit Bing Leng with, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes... Because with that punch just now, he felt the bones of the ice wolf shatter.
The ice wolf's attack was particularly terrible, and each time he felt suffocated, but its body did not seem to be that tough.
The ice wolf stood up, but its body had already shaken slightly, proving that the feeling of broken bones that Yun Che felt was not an illusion. Yun Che's eyes condensed, and his eyes changed from cautious to dangerous, and he took the initiative to rush towards the ice wolf.
"Hiss... Roar!!"
The injured ice wolf's anger increased sharply, and the bloodthirsty murderous light was released in the wolf's eyes. It howled angrily, jumped dozens of feet, and rushed towards Yun Che with a cold and violent air wave. Most of the Ice Profound Realm was instantly swept into the disastrous ice storm.
Yun Che also jumped up at the same time and went straight up. When he was close, his figure flashed, and he appeared above the ice wolf like a ghost, using his hand as a sword and blasting down.
"Meteoric Moon and Sinking Stars!!"
Bang! !
Crack! !
With a loud bang, Yun Che's palm, which was full of strength, smashed on the back of the ice wolf, followed by a crisp and deafening cracking sound.
Yun Che's strength was so huge that the ice wolf's spine was directly broken into several pieces under this blow. It roared miserably and fell to the ground fiercely. After rolling continuously, it collapsed on the ground like a ball of mud and could no longer stand up. Not long after, it slowly disappeared in a ball of blue light.
Yun Che slowly fell down, exhaled slightly, shook his slightly painful palm, and whispered: "That's all."
"However, this is just the beginning. If you want to pass, you have to persist for at least a quarter of an hour. It will definitely become more and more difficult later." Yun Che said to himself: "You should save some energy."
In the Tianxuan Continent, with the annihilation of Xuanyuan Wentian's soul, there was no one who possessed the power of the divine way. Therefore, although Yun Che was growing rapidly afterwards, he could not find a reference to measure his level of strength.
Even when he was fighting with Xuanyuan Wentian, he didn’t know what level of strength he had reached—after all, he didn’t know the existence of the “Seven Realms of Divine Profoundness” at that time.
So, it was not that the Frost Dire Wolf was “nothing special”, but that he didn’t know that he had quietly reached a realm far beyond his expectations…
