The seven circles of logs formed by the Seven Ultimate Yin Transformation Rune were rotating swiftly according to different patterns at that moment. They turned into galactic vortexes that enveloped Su Ming, who was sealed in ice. Each time the circles of logs rotated, a sealing power would appear and turn into threads that wrapped around the layer of ice, as if they wanted to turn the ten thousand feet block of ice into a cocoon that would completely suppress and seal Su Ming.
Anticipation appeared on the thin old man's face, along with a hint of ferociousness. With him as the main Rune, the power of the Rune could completely erupt. He was somewhat confident that even if Su Ming was an Antecedental Spirit, he would still be sealed in it.
"I've offered up my life and used my Origin Treasure that I've been nourishing for ten thousand years to turn into a freezing aura that isn't from the universe. I refuse to believe that I can't seal you!
"I don't expect to be able to seal you in ice for a long time, but as long as I can seal you for a short period of time, once the Seven Ultimate Yin Transformation Rune is fully activated, you will be sealed for eternity!" The thin old man's expression was ferocious. Even though his body was weak at that moment and he had used up most of his cultivation base, he still continued spreading out his full power without any hesitation to fuse it into the Rune. He controlled it and gathered the power of five hundred thousand cultivators and the Rune to fight to the death against Su Ming.
Time trickled by. The seven circles of logs formed by the Seven Ultimate Yin Transformation Rune continued rotating. More threads spread out, and the sealing power became stronger. Not only did the ten thousand feet block of ice not show any signs of melting, the freezing aura inside became even thicker. This scene immediately caused delight to rise in the thin old man's heart. However, due to the increasingly thicker freezing aura, a murky feeling appeared in the ice. It was a murkiness that divine sense and sight could not see through, which was why the thin old man could not see what was going on in the ice.
'Could it be that this person has a body with a melting attribute? That's why he's being suppressed, or else he should be fighting back a little …' The old man's eyes lit up. He might have been a little hesitant, but soon, he dispelled that thought and laughed loudly.
However, in the ten thousand feet layer of ice that the old man could not see through, Su Ming had his eyes open at that moment. A strange and enchanting light shone in them, making him look as if he had been sealed in ice, but in truth, there was a brilliant light that contained a hint of puzzlement in his eyes.
He could clearly sense that the chilling aura in the ice was so thick that it surpassed all the chills Su Ming had ever seen. It was different from the Light of Extreme Darkness. It had corporeal chilling aura, and it could freeze the universe. Yet at that moment, the chilling aura in the ice approached him and surrounded him, as if it possessed some form of intelligence and wanted to crawl into his body.
But that was not all. Su Ming would not have thought too much about it. Instead, he would have believed that this was caused by the person's Art. He could not let the freezing air enter his body, or else he would truly be frozen.
But … the familiarity Su Ming had sensed when his soul had been split when he had his spirit ascend, causing him to almost lose himself was boiling in his soul at that instant. As it continued charging at him, it looked as if it wanted to rush out of his body to come into contact with the chilling aura. This was an instinctive desire, and if Su Ming had not been suppressing it, the chilling aura from the outside would have instantly rushed into his body.
'Instinctive …' Hesitation appeared on Su Ming's face, but soon, a glint appeared in his eyes, and determination appeared in them.
'Since it's an instinct in my soul, then I might as well go and see what's going on. Heavenly Spirit Tribe's elder won't just watch me be trapped. If he wants to challenge the Arid Disaster, then he has to protect me.' Su Ming gritted his teeth and immediately released the defense he had used to prevent the freezing aura from invading his body. As his body relaxed, the freezing aura that had been rapidly rotating around him surged into his body with a bang, as if it had found an outlet.
At the instant it surged in, Su Ming's entire body froze. A feeling as if his flesh and blood were about to be frozen spread through his entire body. The chilling aura seemed to be able to freeze even his consciousness, but it could not seal his soul, because his soul was the will of an Antecedental Spirit. Unless he ran into an Antecedental Spirit, it would be difficult for him to be sealed.
However, Su Ming could clearly sense that the chilling aura that had fused into his body had only passed through his flesh and blood. It was heading straight for his soul, and in the blink of an eye, it charged towards his soul with a bang. At the instant it touched him, it seeped into his soul as if it had fused with it.
The chilling aura was vast and seemed to have no end to it. It charged into Su Ming's body and fused with his soul. This scene caused Su Ming's heart to tremble, but he did not resist it in the slightest. Instead, he simply allowed the chilling aura to fuse with him while he focused all his attention on observing his soul.
He could clearly see that once his soul absorbed the vast amount of chilling aura, a part of it seemed to have awakened. It gained an understanding towards the chilling aura, causing Su Ming to feel as if his flesh and blood were no longer cold. Instead, he felt as if he had become a part of the ice.
"This is …" When Su Ming mumbled, he immediately noticed that as the chilling aura gathered together, a nucleus slowly formed in his soul. That nucleus was caught between an illusion and a corporeal form, and there seemed to be some sort of strange life brewing in it.
This scene should have shocked Su Ming, but the life brewing in the nucleus gave him a strange feeling as if it was him. It was as if the thing that was about to be born was incredibly important to him. It was a change that would give his soul corporeal form.
In silence, a freezing glare shone in Su Ming's eyes, but he decided to ignore it. Instead, as he continued observing, he had the chilling aura around him continue surging into him. In just the span of a few breaths, the ten thousand feet layer of ice around Su Ming started shrinking rapidly. In the blink of an eye, nearly three-tenths of it was gone.
This scene caused the thin old man's pupils to shrink. With a ferocious look on his face, he let out a low growl.
"Seven Ultimate Yin Transformation Rune, first ultimate seal!" The old man's low growl reverberated in the air. Immediately, the innermost layer of the seven circles of wood around Su Ming shuddered and stopped spinning. At the instant it did so, the vortex that was formed shot through space as if it had no form and charged towards Su Ming's layer of ice. In an instant, it enveloped it, and at the same time, a chilling aura that surged into the sky spread out.
The thin old man still did not seem to be at ease. He bit the tip of his tongue and coughed up a mouthful of blood. As he formed a seal with his hands, he pointed at the layer of ice. Immediately, that mouthful of blood turned into blood crystals in midair. When they touched the layer of ice, they shattered, but an even greater amount of chilling aura was released.
This was the chilling aura of life formed by the old man's Origin Blood Essence. It was a telling sign that he was determined to seal Su Ming this time.
As the first seal of the Seven Ultimate Yin Transformation Rune and the old man's Origin Cold Aura were activated, the ice that had shrunk by three layers to seal Su Ming increased exponentially. From its previous size of seven thousand feet, it grew to eleven thousand feet. The layer of ice became thicker, and the chilling aura also increased.
This scene caused the thin old man to let out a smug, cold sneer, but the woman who had been hiding in the whirlwind in the distance sighed softly.
"Is this old man an idiot … This Rune has always been a Rune that can turn the world's Extreme Yin into Cold. It can provide great help, and this old man is not hesitating to use his Origin Cold Aura … This sort of serendipity, this boy … Hmph!" As the woman mumbled, a rare hint of jealousy appeared in her voice. She was not jealous of the old man's Origin Cold Aura, but of the power of the Rune. After all, the Rune was formed by five hundred thousand cultivators, and each of the logs had a cold attribute, which was why the cultivators of South Union could use them to move through the whirlwind.
The chilling aura surged into the sky, and Su Ming immediately sensed it instantly increasing exponentially. It seeped into his body at an even faster speed and fused into his soul, causing the nucleus in his soul to instantly become larger. The presence of the life brewing in it also increased by quite a large margin.
The feeling that Su Ming felt as if he was in the Rune became stronger, and his understanding towards the chilling aura also increased by quite a large margin. In fact, at that moment, Su Ming felt that the chilling aura was no longer an enemy, but had become a part of him.
There was no longer any hint of pain. Instead, there was an indescribably comfortable feeling, and Su Ming could not help but hope that the chilling aura would increase and become even thicker …
As the chilling aura increased and the speed at which he absorbed it became faster, the comfortable feeling became stronger. In just the span of a few breaths, the eleven thousand feet layer of ice shrank swiftly. This time, it shrank by nearly four-tenths.
This scene immediately caused the thin old man in the world outside to be dumbfounded. Madness appeared on his face, and he let out a roar filled with unwillingness to admit defeat. When his cultivation base erupted, a low roar echoed in the air.
"Seven Ultimate Yin Transformation Rune, second ultimate seal!" There was madness in the old man's voice, and as he roared, he lifted his right hand and struck his chest. With that strike, he coughed up a large amount of blood once again, and with a flick of his wrist, that blood charged towards the ice.
Booming sounds reverberated in the air. As the second circle of logs stopped moving and the second vortex closed in on the ice, countless threads enveloped Su Ming's ice, and with the cold from the blood crystal, it caused Su Ming's ice to instantly grow exponentially until it was nearly twenty thousand feet big.
But almost the moment it reached twenty thousand feet, the ice shrank once again. This time, it shrank by five-tenths, but even so, it was still about ten thousand feet big. Perhaps this scene gave the thin old man comfort and hope, making him feel that everything he did was not in vain. It made him feel that as long as he continued, he would still have hope of completely sealing Su Ming.
"Hmph, even if you can melt my ice, the speed at which you melt it will definitely not be able to compare to my Rune!" The old man's spirits lifted. He patted his storage bag with his right hand and brought out most of the medicinal cores he had. He swallowed them, looking as if he was determined to fight to the death on that day.
A soft sigh came from the whirlwind in the distance behind him. There was resignation in that sigh.
