According to the Black Bear that was punched into pieces by Little Black Bear, the true domain of Mount Everest is referred to as the "Snow Domain," and the living being ruling here calls itself the "Snow Domain Master." No one knows what kind of creature it is, nor how powerful it might be. All they know is that everything within this Snow Domain is controlled by the Snow Domain Master, without any exception!

Ye Tianchen and the man carrying the blade are not easy targets. They came here to discover clues about the Hidden World, and at the very least, they aim to find the Great Elder of the Kunlun Secret Realm. If they fail to accomplish these two tasks, they absolutely won’t give up. Now they know this place is called the Snow Domain, and there’s this Snow Domain Master they know nothing about. But Ye Tianchen and the man with the blade have ways to force it out because they understand that the Snow Domain Master here is akin to a local overlord, knowing everything here.

Who would have thought, after the voice of the Snow Domain Master was heard, Ye Tianchen and the man with the blade hadn’t yet pinpointed his location when ten snowmen appeared. These snowmen immediately sent Little Black Bear flying, and most importantly, when the man with the blade punched one snowman to shreds, it regrouped instantly and sent him flying. It’s a bizarre situation.

Bang!

The man with the blade swung another punch, sending a nearby snowman flying. Ye Tianchen hurried over, frowning, and said, "Brother, these snowmen are not simple!"

"Indeed, there are no runes within them. The snowman I just blew up was merely made of snowflakes. But why do these lifeless snowmen possess such formidable attack power?" The man with the blade asked, puzzled.

"This indeed is the strange part. We have to be cautious; maybe these ten snowmen could subdue us!" Ye Tianchen paused and said.

"Brother, what did you just say?" The man with the blade suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked him.

"We must not be careless; perhaps these ten snowmen..." Ye Tianchen hesitated and stopped mid-sentence, smiled, and didn’t finish his thought!

Boom!

Continuously maneuvering and fighting, Ye Tianchen and the man with the blade didn’t compromise even slightly, blowing up all ten snowmen. But they couldn’t figure out what kind of peculiar force allowed the snowmen to regroup instantly, unaffected by their blows. It’s incredible. They’re not true living beings, yet control directs them, each possessing immense strength, which is quite astonishing!

In fact, Ye Tianchen considered whether this might be a type of Puppetry Technique in Martial Arts Divine Skill. Ye Tianchen is familiar with Puppetry Technique. However, seeing the man with the blade blow up several snowmen, Ye Tianchen could almost conclude this wasn’t Puppetry Technique. Puppetry Technique relies on runes or Divine Runes to autonomously control living and non-living entities for combat. The snowmen blown up by the man with the blade didn’t show runes or Divine Runes, ruling Puppetry Technique out.

Could it be Clone Skill? Ye Tianchen considered this possibility. Despite Clone Skill potentially being strong, its critical feature is having a thread of Divine Thought. The snowmen didn’t display this, ruling Clone Skill out as well!

Not Puppetry Technique, nor Clone Skill. What sort of Divine Skills lets snowflakes in the Snow Domain form ten lifeless snowmen, without runes or Divine Thought injected, yet autonomously attacking Ye Tianchen and the man with the blade? Meanwhile, their simple attack pattern, only cold breath from their mouths, can shatter a Martial Artist’s Divine Thought, instilling serious concern!

Bam!

Bam!

After countless hours of battle, Ye Tianchen and the man with the blade seemed genuinely exhausted, being suddenly sent flying, heavily landing on the ground. Before they had time to react, the cold breath from the ten snowmen assailed them, freezing them as ice blocks, unable to move!

"Oh my gosh, weren’t you guys supposed to be tough? How did you also get caught, help..." Little Black Bear shouted wanting to escape. But with Ye Tianchen and the man with the blade blocking before, it was no problem. Facing ten powerful snowmen alone, escape was impossible. It was soon solidly frozen by a gust of cold air.

Ye Tianchen, the man with the blade, and Little Black Bear, after intense struggle with the snowmen, even though they were repeatedly blown up, regrouped quickly until they exhausted too much Martial Arts True Qi, becoming unable to resist, ultimately being frozen.

Boom! Boom! Boom... the ten snowmen suddenly all exploded, turning into countless snowflakes, scattering across the air. At the foot of the mountain, there were three transparent ice pillars, one each for Ye Tianchen, the man with the blade, and Little Black Bear. All were frozen, unable to move, sealed like within a shrine!

"Some power, yet ultimately still prey for me, the Snow Domain Master, come..."

A domineering voice unknown from where sounded. Upon utterance of "come," the three ice pillars encompassing Ye Tianchen, the man with the blade, and Little Black Bear flew in a particular direction swiftly. Their rapid speed going forward caused scene transformations and broke through many formations, reflecting high caution. The Snow Domain Master won’t easily disclose its location!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The three ice pillars encapsulating Ye Tianchen, the man with the blade, and Little Black Bear finally hit the ground, heavily forming three massive craters, yet shockingly undamaged, leaving one utterly astonished!

At this moment, the trio arrived at a clearing’s location resembling an ice kingdom. In front of them was a majestic ice sculpture throne, on which sat a transparent person, akin to an Ice Man, completely transparent except for eyes with slight blood-red radiance. Within a snow heap, it’d be nearly invisible as a presence!

"Humph, clueless beings dare challenge me, the Snow Domain Master; without a hand, I can subdue you!" The Ice Man, the Snow Domain Master, coldly snorted and said sternly. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Not likely!"

"For you to be Snow Domain Master here, isn’t there anyone else?"

Suddenly, Ye Tianchen and the man with the blade’s voices rose, startling the Ice Man into a pause, quickly standing. Alas, it was too slow to react; with two loud bangs, Ye Tianchen and the man with the blade surrounded it, trapping it from easy movement!

"You... you’re tricking me?" The Ice Man said fiercely.

"Not tricking you; you played us falsely, so can we not counteract?" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

"Coward, now battle me!" The man with the blade tightened his fist, sternly speaking.

"Battle? Here you dare challenge me? Hahaha, utterly misjudging; here is my domain, the Snow Domain, and I am the Snow Domain Master!" The Ice Man arrogantly laughed and said coldly.

Boom!

Boom!

Two powerful strikes were launched against the Ice Man, who flinched and immediately countered. With a wave of its hands, countless Ice Blades ripped the void toward Ye Tianchen and the man with the blade, startling them. Nobody would’ve expected this Ice Man to be so strong. Ye Tianchen and the man with the blade sense the Ice Man’s cultivation realm should be Early-stage Martial Saint, easily suppressible by their Mid-stage Martial Saint cultivation realm. But to their shock, on action, the Ice Man’s power was enormous. It seems "Snow Domain Master" isn’t worthless in reputation... (To be continued.
