Chapter 117: Ice Extreme Peerless, Divine Artifact Transformation
At the peak of the Extreme North, the divine might of two newly ascended First-Rank Deities clashed like physical substances. Before they even officially engaged, the surrounding space already emitted an overburdened hum.
Under the lead-gray sky, the biting cold wind seemed to be pushed aside by an invisible force field, forming an absolute vacuum zone.
Lei Chen was surrounded by lightning, with purple-gold electric snakes leaping across his body, radiating the magnificent pressure of heavenly punishment.
His mind was set; in this battle, he would only respond with the Authority of the Thunder God, intending to temper his own reconstructed Thunder God Position and help the Xue Di familiarize herself with her power. He did not plan to use the power of the Plane Master.
Therefore, he deliberately restrained the aura of the Life Guardian Divine Armor and the heavenly saint abyss splitting halberd hidden deep within his body, not drawing upon them in the slightest.
Only the Nine Heavens Thunderstrike Sword, which had already been promoted to a great divine artifact, felt its master's fighting intent. It emitted a clear and stirring sword hum and leapt into his hand of its own accord, its tip pointing straight at the Xue Di, lightning flowing through it, eager to try.
Fighting intent rose in the Xue Di's ice-blue eyes. Facing this unfathomable Plane Master, who could almost be said to have given her a new life, she dared not hold back in the slightest, also understanding that this was an excellent opportunity to verify her own strength.
She made a grasping motion with her jade-like hand, and a longsword, completely translucent as if carved from ten-thousand-year profound ice, appeared out of thin air. The blade was narrow and long, with a chilling aura—it was her life-bound divine artifact, the ice extreme divine sword.
This sword was refined using the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal Lei Chen had given her previously. It was a top-tier divine artifact, but when facing the Nine Heavens Thunderstrike Sword, which contained the complete Law of Thunder, its radiance was clearly suppressed.
"Plane Master, please advise me!" the Xue Di cried out softly. No longer hesitating, her figure transformed into a streak of ice-blue light as she took the initiative to attack.
As the ice extreme divine sword swung, billions of ice crystals condensed, turning into a massive frost sword qi that spanned the sky. Everywhere it passed, even space was frozen with fine white cracks as it slashed towards Lei Chen with unmatched sharpness.
Lei Chen laughed heartily. He did not dodge, instead casually making a stroke with the Nine Heavens Thunderstrike Sword in his hand.
"Sizzle!"
A purple-gold lightning sword gang struck first despite being launched later, easily splitting the massive frost sword qi as if tearing through silk. Before the collapsing ice energy could even get close, it was purified and evaporated by the surrounding lightning arcs.
"The power is not bad, but there is still a gap in concentration and law level."
Lei Chen critiqued. His figure flickered, appearing like a ghost on the Xue Di's flank. His sword stance changed, shifting from a slash to a thrust. A point of lightning condensed at the sword tip; though seemingly tiny, it contained a terrifying piercing power that could penetrate anything.
The Xue Di's heart tightened. Lei Chen's speed and control over power far exceeded her imagination. she hurriedly pulled back her sword to parry, the ice extreme divine sword held horizontally before her as a thick ice wall instantly condensed.
"Clang—!"
The sword tip collided with the ice wall, producing a loud metallic crash.
That ice wall, which had condensed the Xue Di's First-rank Divine Power, actually only held out for half a breath under the lightning of the Nine Heavens Thunderstrike Sword before shattering with a boom!
Violent lightning force was transmitted through the sword blade. The Xue Di felt her arm shake violently, and her delicate body could not help but slide back hundreds of feet before she could shed that immense force. The ice extreme divine sword emitted bursts of mournful cries, its radiance dimming slightly.
The difference in strength was clear at a glance!
In a pure clash of weapons, the ice extreme divine sword, which was only at the level of a divine artifact, was completely unable to contend with the Nine Heavens Thunderstrike Sword, which had already been promoted to a great divine artifact.
Although the Xue Di's divine power was vast, the disadvantage in weaponry meant she fell into a comprehensive disadvantage from the very beginning.
The following battle became almost a one-sided suppression by Lei Chen.
Lei Chen did not use any fancy sword moves; he simply pushed the basic applications of the Authority of the Thunder God to the limit: the speed, violence, destruction, and purification of lightning... all sorts of characteristics were used with ease.
His figure constantly flickered in the high sky. Every time he appeared, it was accompanied by a lightning sword gang that tore through the void, forcing the Xue Di to defend with all her might. The ice extreme divine sword was danced so tightly not even wind could pass, as layers of ice crystal barriers were constantly generated and shattered, making her look quite disheveled.
However, under this immense pressure, the Xue Di's ice-blue eyes grew brighter and brighter.
She discarded all stray thoughts, pushing her 'Ice Heart Realm' to the limit, immersing her entire being into the mobilization of her First-rank Divine Power and her comprehension of the Ice System Law.
Every parry and every dodge made her control over her own power more refined and her understanding of the Ice God Authority more profound.
Although the ice extreme divine sword was constantly being damaged, under the nourishment of her extremely pure Ice God divine power, the deepest structures within the sword blade seemed to be undergoing some unknown, subtle transformation...
Constant defense must eventually lead to a lapse.
Under the continuous lightning offensive, a negligible gap finally appeared in the Xue Di's defense.
Lei Chen's gaze was like lightning; how could he miss such an opportunity? The Nine Heavens Thunderstrike Sword suddenly erupted with unprecedentedly brilliant lightning. He held the sword with both hands and raised it above his head. All the thunder elements in the Far North Land seemed to be drawn, frantically converging toward the sword blade!
"Take this sword!" Lei Chen's voice was calm, yet it carried an unquestionable majesty.
A phantom of a purple-gold lightning giant sword spanning heaven and earth condensed out of thin air, locking onto the Xue Di's aura. Carrying the supreme will to judge all spirits and destroy all laws, it slashed down with a crash!
This sword had already utilized a significant portion of the Authority of the Thunder God's power.
It was unavoidable! The Xue Di's pupils shrank, knowing this was the moment that would decide victory or defeat.
Far from being afraid, she instead stirred the pride and determination deep within her bloodline that belonged to the Ruler of the Extreme North and the newly born Ice God!
"Empress Sword: Ice Extreme Peerless!"
The Xue Di's cold voice echoed through the clouds as she poured all the First-rank Divine Power in her body into the ice extreme divine sword in her hand without reservation!
At the same time, her deepest understanding of the Ice System Law—the ultimate intent of 'Freezing' and 'Destruction'—also merged into this sword strike.
This was the most concentrated and sharpest style among her famous techniques, the 'Empress Sword, Empress Palm, and Empress Cold Sky'. Driven now by First-rank Divine Power, it perfectly matched the attributes of the ice extreme divine sword, erupting with unprecedented power!
"Hum—!"
The ice extreme divine sword emitted an unprecedented tremor!
The sword blade was no longer a simple ice blue, but had turned into a dark blue as deep as the abyss. At the edge of the blade, a point of extremely condensed cold light shone, as if it could freeze time and space and tear through laws!
At this moment of life and death, under the infusion and baptism of the Xue Di's unreserved First-rank Divine Power and the complete Ice System Law, the long-term accumulation of the ice extreme divine sword was finally triggered, producing a fundamental leap!
When a divine artifact and its master are of one mind and face extreme pressure together, it is the best opportunity for a breakthrough!
The ice extreme divine sword was launching a charge toward a higher level—the great divine artifact!
The Xue Di became one with her sword, transforming into a dark blue streak of light that seemed capable of freezing eternity and reversing life and death. She soared against the heavens, boldly meeting that giant lightning sword representing heavenly punishment!
And Lei Chen, who had remained calm throughout, saw the ice extreme divine sword undergo its transformation and radiate the fluctuations of a true great divine artifact. A flash of expected approval crossed his deep eyes, and a meaningful smile couldn't help but curl at the corners of his mouth.
