Heaven Refining physique-Chapter 151: Dark Ice Lotus Bloom
Chapter 151: Dark Ice Lotus Bloom
But fear of absolute death was enough for Jing Tian and Yu Yan to feel their emotions. They both came out of their houses and, after nodding in confusion to each other, they came to the city gate as well.
When they saw that their spirit beasts were fine, they sighed in relief.
"Baofeng, Lie, what happened?"
Jing Tian asked, breaking the initial shock of Baofeng and Lie.
But before any of them could reply, Jing Tian came close enough to see the pit himself.
He was stunned and blurted out. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
"What the hell happened here?"
Yu Yan was stunned too. Eventually, their eyes went to Jiang Hao floating in the air.
He was just above the pit, and given that he wasn’t hiding his cultivation realm, they could easily see that he had reached the Soul Sea Realm.
Jing Tian blinked and looked back toward the ground, then again looked at Jiang Hao. There was no need to guess anymore, this was done by Jiang Hao.
He looked at the pit in dread. What in the heavens is this ability? Is this guy made to destroy the world or something?
Yu Yan sighed. This is only at the Soul Sea Realm... what happens if he reaches even the Void Reversion Realm? She didn’t want to think about it.
Jiang Hao didn’t test one more Annihilation Zone and just flew higher and higher to see how far he could reach. This was a dimension made by human cultivators, surely, it would have an end.
Just as he reached the clouds, he began feeling a strange kind of pressure. It was non-existent at the start, but as he ascended, it began increasing tremendously, like something was stopping him from reaching the end of this world.
He wasn’t sure if this pressure was natural or created solely to stop him, because if the main consciousness didn’t want him to go further, it should have just warned him. There was no need to stop him with pressure.
Eventually, he reached a point where he couldn’t move further. No matter how much strength he used to push forward, he didn’t even budge. It was like an unbreakable wall was pressing him down.
There was still sky above his head, so it meant if he could move, he could go further up. But it looked like this was his limit while flying.
Even if he were stronger, he doubted he could get much higher than this, because the pressure was increasing tremendously with every inch.
There was a way through which he could go further, but he didn’t know what the consequences of his action would be.
If he were on the ground, then he could have easily moved further against this pressure, but it was impossible while flying, as it depended on the strength of his flight. No doubt, given his tremendous qi, it was quite strong, but nowhere near his real combined strength.
The method he was thinking about was to use teleportation. He didn’t know if his body would be able to handle it or not.
After thinking for a second, he decided to do it. He wouldn’t go much further anyway, so he doubted it would be dangerous for him.
After deciding, Jiang Hao wasn’t someone to hesitate with the fear of getting badly injured.
He instantly teleported for fifty meters. This was really far, given the pressure increased every inch.
The moment he appeared, he felt an unimaginable force from above. It felt like some hard wall had struck him. He wasn’t able to control himself and was pushed down with a speed far greater than he could fly. The skin on his face tore from the sheer pressure, his bones creaked, if he had decided to go for sixty meters, then they would have definitely broken.
When he managed to control himself and hold himself in the air, he saw that he was already quite close to the ground.
He sighed inwardly. Looks like it was impossible to reach the barrier of this world.
"What were you trying to do?"
He heard Yin Ni’s voice.
"I thought of reaching the barrier of this world, Senior, but looks like it is impossible to reach."
His injuries had already healed, but he wasn’t going to try it again. He already understood that it was impossible to even think of reaching the boundary.
Maybe his ring would protect him from the pressure, but it wouldn’t last long.
"It is, but after all, it’s but a weak dimension. Think of it like a bubble floating inside the main world.
A weak dimension wasn’t made to hold worldly laws perfectly, so to offset that weakness, forceful pressure is applied on the boundaries so that the dimension’s boundary doesn’t have to feel the brunt of anything."
Jiang Hao could only nod. Although he didn’t understand how pressure was applied from the boundary was it an array? Or something else?
He knew asking wouldn’t help, as she would definitely take a jibe that he was too weak to understand anything.
But nonetheless sometimes she herself talk to him.
It’s like Senior Yin Ni was totally bored staying inside that dimension of hers. Should he talk to her more from now on?
He shook his head at his own thoughts. He wouldn’t be able to converse like Senior Sister Ming Yue, so there was no point.
After looking one last time at the sky, he walked back toward the city gate.
When he reached there, he saw Jing Tian and Yu Yan were also present, looking at him skeptically.
"Brother Jiang, congratulations on breaking through successfully."
Jiang Hao nodded.
"Are you going to the next region now?"
Jiang Hao nodded again said.
"Once Senior Sister breaks through, we will leave."
Jiang Hao knew that these guys wouldn’t follow him to the new region. They were definitely interested in participating in the final competition.
The chance of gaining the best inheritances in this inheritance world wasn’t something anyone would miss.
"Then I hope you achieve what you want, Brother Jiang. Please be careful, there might be more prominent traps at the Soul Sea Realm than at the Core Formation Realm."
Jiang Hao nodded. He already knew about it, arrays became more complex and powerful at higher levels, the increase in power being exponential.
If one had spirit stones, then they could make as strong arrays as they wanted. This was but a fact.
So arrays might be the only things that could come somewhat near his strength . The only downside was that you could not move arrays, you had to trick your enemies into entering them unknowingly or willingly.
Jiang Hao came back to his house, and since he had nothing else to do, he just cultivated.
Night passed, and morning came. But before he could stand and go check on Ming Yue, she entered his house herself.
"Junior Brother, let’s go."
Jiang Hao nodded and stood up. He could already sense that she had entered the Soul Sea Realm.
"Then let’s go, Senior Sister. Or do you want to spar a little to get accustomed?"
"Is that even a question, Junior Brother?"
Ming Yue replied while smiling.
They came out of the city, and when Ming Yue saw the pit, she was surprised.
"Junior Brother, why are you destroying this inheritance site?"
Jiang Hao was expressionless. He doubted that this much could even make the main consciousness flinch.
"Senior Sister, what is your new ability?"
Ming Yue looked at him and said,
"It’s basic courtesy to show yours first, Junior Brother. You achieved Soul Sea Realm before me, after all."
Jiang Hao pointed his finger toward the pit and then created the Annihilation Zone in his hands to show her how it looked.
"It is known as Annihilation Zone, Senior Sister."
Ming Yue looked at it and nodded.
"It looks similar to the Nihility Sphere. Now throw it, Junior Brother."
Jiang Hao was speechless.
"Junior Sister, why do you want me to destroy the inheritance site?"
"Cough... Junior Brother, I doubt it will even pinch this place."
Jiang Hao looked at her while she looked at him, without blinking.
In the end, he could only shake his head and throw it.
The result wasn’t any different. Another pit appeared in front of the main city.
"Junior Brother, that was amazing."
Ming Yue even clapped to show her enthusiasm.
"Now let me show you mine."
Ming Yue flew and arrived above the pit.
"Junior Brother, my new ability is Dark Ice Lotus Bloom. It’s not scary at all, Junior Brother, like your Annihilation Zone. In fact, it’s quite beautiful to watch. Look."
The moment she said "look," her eyes glowed and multiple black lotuses appeared around her. They were floating alongside her in a circular sphere pattern, with her at the center. All the lotuses were in an unbloomed phase.
The skill seemed to cover twenty-five meters in every direction.
"It’s like a domain, Junior Brother. How about you enter it?"
Jiang Hao looked at the area affected by the black lotuses. He felt danger. This meant this ability could definitely hurt him, and it wouldn’t be just a small amount either. But it didn’t seem fatal.
He flew and came to the edge.
"Junior Brother, remember to protect your soul and also don’t touch any of these lotuses."
Protecting one’s soul was not an easy task. You had to constantly use your spiritual qi to cover it. It required concentration, which could be deadly in actual battle.
Jiang Hao nodded and entered the affected area, avoiding the Dark Ice Lotuses near him.
The moment he entered, he felt extreme cold. It was so cold that if he hadn’t used his blood qi just now, then his blood would have frozen inside his body.
