Facing the coordinated attack, Lin Xuan’s expression darkened. With a wave of his sleeve, a frigid aura surged forth—the icy breath of the Snake King. A black mist billowed out, freezing the very heavens and earth wherever it passed. The Grandmasters leading the charge were instantly encased in ice.
The warriors further back turned pale at the sight. What’s happening?
Before they could even react, the frost spread over their bodies in an instant. CRACK! CRACK! One after another, they were turned into ice sculptures, their faces frozen in masks of terror and despair.
The remaining people turned to flee, but the ice continued its relentless spread. More and more of them beca frozen statues.
"Damn it, what is this?!" a mber of the Wu Family shrieked in terror.
"Get out of my way!" roared soone from the Celestial Dream Pavilion.
The Fire Dragon Sect mbers bellowed, unleashing a sky full of flas to lt the ice, but their efforts were futile. Anyone who was too slow was frozen solid.
The people from the True Dragon Sect were also dumbfounded, a chill running down their spines. Damn it, how can this kid unleash such terrifying ice? He actually had such a powerful trump card! They had been careless and had underestimated him. Wishing they had extra legs, they fled like madn, but in the end, many from the True Dragon Sect were caught by the frost, including Lin Bahuang, who was turned into a block of ice.
"Run!" the survivors scread, fleeing in a crazed panic.
Soon, only a forest of ice sculptures remained on the spot.
The mbers of the Ye Family were stunned. Madam Ye opened her eyes and stared at the scene, completely dumbfounded. Are we saved? Just monts ago, she had been certain of their deaths. The enemy lineup was too strong, like an entire army; there was no way they could have withstood them. Yet, against all odds, the situation had been resolved just like that. Lin Xuan had pulled off another coback from an impossible situation.
"How did you do it?" Madam Ye asked, looking at Lin Xuan with pure shock.
The other Ye Family mbers were equally astonished, but Lin Xuan simply smiled. "I told you they were no match for us. Let’s go."
With that, he turned and walked away. Madam Ye and the others followed behind, dazed, their minds still blank as if they were in a dream.
「On the other side.」
The mbers of the various great families and sects fled like beaten dogs, only stopping when they reached a safe distance. After taking a headcount, their expressions turned grim. They had lost half of their people. In a re instant, half of their Grandmasters had been frozen solid. The sheer terror of such a technique was overwhelming.
"What kind of ice was that? It was terrifying!"
"That kid actually had such a powerful ace up his sleeve!"
"Damn it, where are his limits?"
The people from the Wu Family, Celestial Dream Pavilion, Fire Dragon Sect, and True Dragon Sect were a mixture of horrified and furious. This ti, they had truly picked a fight with the wrong person.
"This isn’t Lin Xuan’s power," Wu Chen said, shaking his head.
Everyone was taken aback. If it wasn’t his power, then whose was it?
"It’s the power of a Demon Beast," Wu Chen stated.
A Demon Beast? Everyone was dumbfounded.
Ru ng spoke up. "Didn’t I tell you before? There were many Demon Beasts around the Dragon Pearl. One of them specialized in ice and froze everything back then. That icy aura was black."
The truth suddenly dawned on everyone. So it wasn’t Lin Xuan’s own power, but that of a Demon Beast! That explained it. They had been wondering how that kid could possess so many powerful trump cards.
"It must have been that Demon Beast," Ru ng theorized. "It was probably about to break out of the ancient ruins, and we just happened to get in its way."
Their faces grew even darker. They had been unbelievably unlucky.
"I wonder if that kid got frozen too?"
"Let’s go back and take a look."
Steeling their nerves, the group cautiously returned to the vicinity of the ruins. They found the area eerily silent, with only the ice sculptures standing guard. The figures of Lin Xuan and his group were long gone.
"That kid probably returned to the Ye Family."
"Should we go after him for revenge?" soone asked, gritting their teeth.
"Are you insane? The Ye Family has the Ancient Tower! Do you want to be turned to dust?"
"Let’s return to our families first and discuss this further."
The mbers of the various families departed one after another. This expedition had been a miserable failure. Not only did they fail to obtain any treasure from the ancient ruins, but they had also lost half of their elders. The losses were truly devastating.
「On the other side.」
Lin Xuan and his group returned to the Ye Family estate. Only then did Madam Ye and the others finally let out a true sigh of relief. They were finally safe. The entire journey had kept them on edge.
As the other families returned to their own territories, news of the events began to spread.
Soon, the entire Dragon Island was in an uproar.
"What? Lin Xuan has a Divine Sword?!"
"Where did he get a Divine Sword from?"
"Is the Ye Family’s foundation really that strong?"
...
"What? Lin Xuan also obtained the Dragon Pearl?!"
"That’s a legendary treasure, and he actually got his hands on it!"
"This is unbelievable! That kid’s luck is just too good!"
Everyone was both shocked and envious. But then, another piece of news followed, far more shocking than the last.
"What?! Lin Xuan is a Dragon Warrior?!"
"Impossible! The path of the Dragon Warrior was severed! There hasn’t been a new Dragon Warrior in over a thousand years!"
"Not just on Dragon Island, but in the entire world!"
"How could Lin Xuan possibly be a Dragon Warrior?"
"What? The news is true? He has Dragon Scales on his palm and shattered the Azure Heaven Battle Body with a single slap?!"
"Holy hell! Could he really be a Dragon Warrior?"
"How did he beco one?!"
Everyone went crazy.
At this mont, the entire world seed to go mad. The Divine Sword and the Dragon Pearl were peerless, shocking treasures, but both of them combined couldn’t compare to the significance of a Dragon Warrior.
In no ti, all of Dragon Island was boiling with discussion. The various families frantically talked about the matter. So even decided they had to capture Lin Xuan and force him to reveal how he beca a Dragon Warrior.
The rumors spread like wildfire, until it seed the entire Dragon Island was mobilizing to march on the Ye Family together.
When the Ye Family heard this, their faces turned green. Even with the Ancient Tower, they couldn’t possibly withstand an assault from all of Dragon Island! A palpable panic swept through the Ye Family.
"Junior Brother Lin, you should run! Flee Dragon Island now!" Ye Qingwu pleaded.
"That’s right," Madam Ye added. "You should leave first. Avoid them for now and don’t try to face them head-on."
Lin Xuan just laughed. "Don’t worry. So what if all the Grandmasters on Dragon Island co for ? They still can’t do anything to . I’m going to cultivate. Just let know when they arrive, and I’ll wipe them all out."
Lin Xuan had the Snake King. The Snake King was a true King-level powerhouse, and there were no Kings on Dragon Island. All those beneath the King realm were re ants. Even if every Grandmaster on Dragon Island banded together, they couldn’t defeat a single King.
So, Lin Xuan wasn’t concerned in the slightest.
However, the others didn’t know this. In their eyes, his words were unbelievably arrogant. They admitted that he had previously injured a Grandmaster, but that was with the power of the Divine Sword. Later, he had frozen a group of Grandmasters, but that wasn’t his own power. The news had already spread that the freezing power belonged to a Demon Beast. They believed Lin Xuan’s group was just lucky, happening to encounter a Demon Beast charging out of the ancient ruins, which was why their pursuers were frozen.
Such a coincidence couldn’t possibly happen again. They believed Lin Xuan, relying solely on the Divine Sword and the Ancient Tower, could never withstand so many powerful experts. After all, activating those two items consud an imnse amount of energy; he could probably only use them once.
This ti, their enemy wasn’t a single family, but all the families and sects of Dragon Island. They couldn’t possibly hold them off. If Lin Xuan didn’t flee, what awaited them was likely the annihilation of their entire family.
