It was not that the old man was stupid. There was no way an old monster who could reach Death Realm and live for so many years would be stupid. It was just that he had not expected that Su Ming would have such a degree of adaptability to the freezing aura.
It was not that the old man had never met anyone who cultivated freezing aura before … but he had never run into the Spiritlings of Dark Dawn. He did not know what sort of connection the freezing aura had with them.
The Spiritlings of Dark Dawn's women were all Ice Phoenixes, and the men were Ice Phoenixes. To them, the freezing aura was a part of their bodies. It was a power that could not be separated from them, and it was similar to their inborn talent.
The power of the Spiritlings inherited from his mother in Su Ming's soul had gradually grown over the years. When his soul was torn apart when he had his spirit ascend, it had completely awakened, and he had gained a faint hint of the Spiritlings' inborn talent.
However, even though he had awakened, he still needed time for the changes to appear. However, the old man's appearance and the appearance of the Seven Ultimate Yin Transformation Rune caused the process to be infinitely shortened.
"Seven Ultimate Yin Transformation Rune, third ultimate seal!" The old man roared in excitement. The third of the seven circles of logs formed by the Seven Ultimate Rune stopped spinning, and the vortex formed by its rotation swiftly shrank to charge towards the layer of ice where Su Ming was.
The layer of ice grew several thousands of feet from its original ten thousand feet. It looked even more murky, and the freezing aura surged into the sky.
At that moment, Su Ming was staring at the nucleus in his soul. Once a large amount of freezing aura fused into it, it continued growing, and the life contained in it seemed to have reached the critical moment of its emergence.
'There's not enough freezing aura. I need more!' A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. Since he had decided to let the freezing aura fuse into his soul and had decided to see just what would eventually appear from the nucleus in his soul, then he would definitely not change his mind so easily. He decided to no longer allow the freezing aura to fuse into his soul passively.
Instead … he would take the initiative to absorb it!
Su Ming had not been able to do this before, but right then, the freezing aura and the layer of ice around him gave him a feeling that they were a part of his body. As long as he wanted to, he could do it. There was only a difference between being passive and being active, but the difference between them was like heaven and earth.
A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. Without any hesitation, he sucked in a sharp breath, and the chilling aura in the ice immediately started swimming about as if it had erupted. If it had been a trickle before, then right then, it was a vast river that charged towards Su Ming. Once he absorbed it, he sent all of it into his soul.
The core in his soul was growing larger and larger!
As Su Ming took the initiative to absorb it, the layer of ice around him started shrinking rapidly. Ten thousand something feet, ten thousand feet, eight thousand feet … and in the blink of an eye, there was only three thousand something feet left. In fact, all those who saw it could vaguely see Su Ming inside.
This scene caused the old man's expression to change drastically. At that moment, he could no longer care about anything else. He formed a seal with both hands and struck the top of his head. His body trembled, and he opened his mouth to spit out a small, blue chess piece.
When the small flag appeared, the old man's presence instantly became weaker again, but a chilling aura that surpassed all that had appeared before erupted from the small flag. The old man's face turned pale, and he pointed at the small flag with his right hand. Immediately, the flag charged towards the layer of ice around Su Ming. Once it closed in on him, it stabbed into him.
At the instant the small blue flag stabbed the ice, the chilling aura that erupted from within enveloped the ice with a bang, causing it to swiftly expand to fight against its shrinking.
At the same time, the old man swung his arm and roared while gasping for breath.
"Seven Ultimate Yin Transformation Rune, fourth ultimate seal, fifth ultimate seal!" As he roared, the fourth and fifth circles of wood came to a halt at the same time. The vortex they stirred up swept up an endless amount of chilling aura with a bang and charged towards the ice. Once it Branded itself, the ice swelled up to thirty thousand feet with the help of the small flag.
The woman in the whirlwind in the distance was staring at the layer of ice where Su Ming was at that moment. She seemed to be able to see Su Ming, as well as the nucleus in his soul.
As the layer of ice swelled up, even Su Ming had a strange feeling that the cultivators of South Union and the thin old man did not seem to be his enemies. Instead, they seemed to be doing their best to help him form the nucleus of his soul, or else they would not have sent the chilling aura to him without regard for anything else, as if they were afraid that it would not be enough when Su Ming took the initiative to absorb it.
A strange expression appeared on Su Ming's face, but he took the initiative to absorb it even more. As he did so, a cracking sound suddenly came from the nucleus of his soul. Only Su Ming could hear it, and no one else could, but at the instant it appeared, Su Ming felt as if he was in the nucleus of his soul, and that feeling became stronger than ever. At the same time, as the cracking sound rang out, the instant the nucleus of his soul looked as if it was about to shatter, a great suction force swiftly spread out.
Under that suction force, the chilling aura instantly turned from a vast river into a sea that surged into the sky. It surged towards him from all directions, causing the thirty thousand feet block of ice to instantly shrink to ten thousand feet. In the blink of an eye, it became one thousand feet, and it looked as if it was about to disappear.
But the suction had not ended. Due to the absorption of the chilling aura, Su Ming realized that if there was no chilling aura around him, then the life that was about to appear in the nucleus of his soul would wither and die!
But there was no need for Su Ming to be worried. The thin old man's worry was much stronger than Su Ming's. When the thin old man saw that he had already reached this point, but his efforts were about to be wasted, he let out a loud roar as if he had gone mad. When he closed his eyes, his Nascent Divinity instantly left his body and closed above Su Ming. Without any hesitation, he used all his strength to push down.
With it, the old man's Nascent Divinity shone with a piercing light. The chilling aura from the old man's Nascent Divinity that was much stronger than all Enchanted Treasures surged out like a torrent. In an instant, it enveloped the ice block that was only five feet tall, and it swiftly grew in size.
"I'll give it my all! If it wasn't for the fact that I couldn't seal you today, I would have definitely died!" At the instant the thin old man's Nascent Divinity roared, the chilling aura spreading out from his Nascent Divinity fused into Su Ming's ice, but it was instantly sucked away and charged towards the nucleus in Su Ming's soul. In just the span of two breaths, the old man's Nascent Divinity became completely dull, as if it was about to be emptied. Only then did he snap out of his daze.
With shock on his face, he glared at Su Ming. He could sense a great threat of death looming over him. Just as he was about to control the Rune to execute the sixth seal, all the ice around Su Ming disappeared at the same time. Once he absorbed all of it, the nucleus in his soul let out a cracking sound once again.
This time, a ray of black light shot out from the nucleus. At the instant it appeared, it swept through the area and devoured the nucleus in Su Ming's soul. Once it let out a roar, it looked as if it wanted to rush out from the top of Su Ming's skull.
Before it could rush out, an endless amount of chilling aura instantly filled the area in one hundred thousand feet, causing the old man's Nascent Divinity to shudder. Shock and disbelief appeared on his face.
"Seven Ultimate Yin Transformation Rune, sixth ultimate seal!" The old man roared without any hesitation. There was despair on his face, along with complete madness. When he roared, the sixth circle of wood came to an abrupt halt. Once it did, there seemed to be an endless amount of spinning shadows that were still rotating. It was a vortex, and as it spun, it swiftly shrank. At the instant the life born from the nucleus in Su Ming's soul was about to rush out from the top of his skull, the vortex submerged Su Ming, intending to seal him.
However, at the instant the vortex submerged Su Ming, it crumbled with a loud bang that surged into the sky. What shattered the vortex was not Su Ming's hands, neither was it his will. Instead, it was a black dragon head that had rushed out from the top of his skull at that moment!
It was a dragon. It was entirely black, and an indescribable chilling aura spread out from it!
"Seven Ultimate Yin Transformation Rune, seventh ultimate seal! Seal! Seal! Seal!" The old man's Nascent Divinity let out a shrill roar. His voice was piercing and filled with madness. At the instant he roared, the circle of logs at the outermost edge of the Rune formed by the five hundred thousand cultivators, the one that was still rotating, the one that had the largest area and seemed to be the largest, stopped moving. With a sealing power that surpassed that of the six circles of logs combined, it charged towards Su Ming with a loud bang. This was the final power of the Seven Ultimate Yin Transformation Rune.
The vortex gathered everything from the thin old man, the five hundred thousand cultivators, and all the chilling aura from the five hundred cold logs. At that moment, it closed in on Su Ming and turned into a powerful seal. Its sealing power could even shake Su Ming's will of an Antecedental Spirit.
Yet at the instant the vortex was about to submerge Su Ming, the black dragon at the top of his skull threw its head back and let out a roar. This was the first roar it had ever let out since it was born. It seemed to be announcing something, as if it was roaring a promise, telling the universe that it would become the emperor of the chilling aura in the world and the master of the Spiritlings of Dark Dawn!
It was a black dragon. Even though it was only about 1,000 feet long, when it appeared, it shook the starry sky and caused everything around it to be frozen in an instant!
The powerful vortex formed by the seventh ultimate of the Seven Ultimate Yin Transformation Rune turned into ice at that instant. It was sealed around Su Ming and turned into a circular and unmoving vortex.
The thin old man's Nascent Divinity, the five hundred thousand cultivators in the area, and the logs were all frozen. Everything in the area came to a standstill at that instant.
Xu Hui's log was also frozen, but it was different from the others. Only the breathing of the woman in the whirlwind in the distance quickened at that moment. When she stared at Su Ming, the soul of the ice phoenix in her started showing signs of submitting to him, causing her to instinctively take a few steps back. Her expression changed continuously, and she mumbled under her breath.
"Dragon of Destruction …"
The third chapter was updated slightly later. He had brought his child to the hospital in the morning, so he came back late. Even his writing time had to be delayed.
