This frost energy was extremely terrifying. Once it seeped into his body, it would be able to freeze his blood and astral energy. If his internal organs were to be frozen, he would surely die. His opponent wasn't joking with him. Under the rules, Qin Wentian would definitely kill him.
As he thought of this, the blood in Qin Wentian's body seethed. He activated the Fiend Transformation Art as a terrifying demonic aura permeated the air.
"SHATTER!" With a roar of rage, the frost on his arms shattered as the silhouette of a great roc manifested on his body.
Crackling sounds rang out as the frost energy continued to extend upwards.
"Fiend Transformation Art." Demonic qi gushed forth from Qin Wentian as a terrifying energy circulated around him. Abruptly, his arms were like a pair of wings as they abruptly spread open. At the same time, his body transformed into a great roc.
However, this great roc was far inferior compared to the great roc in the Demonic Divinity Transformation Art. It was much smaller, only tens of meters long.
Despite transforming into a great roc, the frost energy was still present. His wings flapped ferociously as beams of sword light slashed out, landing beneath his feet. Opening his mouth, an incomparably sharp gigantic Heavenly Astral Sword was stabbed into the ground. The keening of the sword rang out unceasingly, destroying all the ice and snow in the area.
However at this moment, the snowflakes on the ground danced wildly in the air, drifting towards the great roc's body. In the blink of an eye, the great roc's entire body was covered in a layer of snow.
"Bzzz!"
The great roc soared through the air as his Astral Nova flew back. The keening of the sword rang out unceasingly, revolving around his body. It was as though the surroundings were filled with a terrifying sword might, capable of ripping apart all the drifting snowflakes.
His sharp gaze swept downwards as he abruptly moved. He transformed into a resplendent beam of light, instantly appearing on the ground. The Heavenly Astral Sword pierced out as the keening of the sword keening could be heard. Countless sword beams danced in the air, slicing apart the snowflakes.
The speed of the great roc was extremely fast. Since he couldn't find the snowman, he could only destroy all the snow in this space.
However, at this moment, the snow on the ground began to move rapidly, gathering towards the same direction in a frenzy. In a short moment, a snow mountain appeared. This snow mountain stood tall on the ground, and it was still growing rapidly. All the snow in the sky was about to condense on top of the snow mountain.
Qin Wentian glanced at the snowy mountain as the great roc soared through the air. The Heavenly Astral Sword radiated with the will of a king as it slashed out, landing on the gigantic snowy mountain, causing the void to crack.
Terrifying shockwaves spread out in a frenzy and several large cracks appeared on the surface of the snowy mountain. However, the cracks rapidly healed up. At the same time, one gigantic ice blade after another shot out from the snowy mountain towards the great roc.
Qin Wentian hurriedly retreated. He saw with his own eyes that the snowy mountain was still growing. It was now a thousand-meter tall snowy peak. Rumbling sounds could be heard as the snowy mountain started moving. Arms and legs grew out of it, and a face appeared. It was none other than the snowman from before.
In the blink of an eye, the snowy mountain transformed into a snowman that was a thousand times larger than before. With a single glance at Qin Wentian, Qin Wentian felt as though his soul was about to be frozen.
"Initially, I wanted to play with you slowly. Who would have thought that you would be so untactful and actually want to use your sword to destroy the ice and snow?" The gigantic snowman coldly spoke. After that, he stepped forth, causing the earth to tremble. He directly stretched out his palms as an incomparably gigantic snow-white palm imprint directly shot towards the great roc.
The palm imprint didn't move, but the ice-sealing intent of the snowman had already descended. The great roc shuddered as he instantly retreated. The palm imprint slammed into the air, causing thunderous rumbling sounds to echo out.
"This space is extremely vast. You can keep hiding, but you will be trapped here forever. As for me, it doesn't matter. I've already stayed here for far too long, I don't mind waiting with you." The gigantic snowman mocked, his words causing Qin Wentian's countenance to turn extremely unsightly.
The snowman didn't break the rules, he had suppressed his cultivation base to the second level of Heavenly Dipper. This was why he had the ability to dodge. But even if he was at the second level of Heavenly Dipper, his gigantic body was almost indestructible. How was he supposed to fight against him?
"His body is formed from ice and snow. Unless I destroy all the ice and snow, I won't be able to kill him." Qin Wentian mused. The power of his bloodline began to ignite as a towering demonic aura erupted forth. The terrifying aura caused his cultivation base to break through to the third level of Heavenly Dipper.
"The power of my bloodline is my trump card. Although my cultivation base is at the third level of Heavenly Dipper, my cultivation base is indeed at the second level." Qin Wentian stared at the snow giant. He didn't expect that at the first checkpoint, he would have to rely on the power of his bloodline. Such a feeling was extremely unfavorable. How terrifying would the difficulty of the later checkpoints be?
"So what if you're at the third level of Heavenly Dipper?" The snow giant coldly spoke.
However at this moment, the body of the great roc reverted back to that of a human. After which, terrifying scales covered his body as the will of the Mandate of Demons was unleashed to the extreme. His entire body was covered with incomparably tough dragon scales, as though he was clad in a demonic armor. His martial spirit erupted forth as he brandished his Astral Nova greatsword and advanced forward.
If the current Qin Wentian was in the external world, it would be extremely easy for him to kill someone at the fourth level of Heavenly Dipper.
"I truly want to see how strong of an attack your body can endure." Qin Wentian's speed abruptly increased, akin to a gust of wind. But as he continued forward, the pressure exerted by the Mandate of Ice and Snow on him grew increasingly stronger. His body started to be sealed in ice, and in fact, the Mandate of Ice and Snow permeated his body, wanting to freeze everything in his body to death.
"DIE!"
Qin Wentian's silhouette vanished from sight. Wielding the Astral Nova greatsword with both hands, he directly appeared above the gigantic head of the snow giant. The Astral Nova Greatsword directly pierced into it as his will of Mandates erupted forth. The gigantic head of the snow giant was instantly destroyed, and the gigantic greatsword pierced into it.
"Bzzz!" A violent palm imprint of ice blasted towards Qin Wentian. However, Qin Wentian's palms trembled as he abruptly slashed out with the Astral Nova greatsword, directly piercing into the body of the snow giant. At the same time, he used Stellar Transposition to evade the attack. With the other Astral Nova in his hands, he abruptly smashed it towards the back of the snow giant.
"BOOM!" A gigantic force blasted outwards as shockwaves gushed forth, causing cracks to appear. Qin Wentian stabbed out with his palm, executing the Heaven Breaking Finger. Boundless sword light converged into a terrifying vortex, gushing into the body of the snow giant. As the finger landed, Qin Wentian was forced to retreat explosively. The coldness of that attack was too strong, it was enough to freeze him to death.
Although he was far away from the snow giant, Qin Wentian's countenance was extremely solemn. He stared ahead as the Astral Nova within the body of the snow giant continued its slaughter, causing the body of the snow giant to tremble unceasingly.
Finally, with a thunderous boom, the snow giant collapsed. Boundless snowflakes drifted about unceasingly in the air as the tiny snow giant once again appeared in the air, staring at Qin Wentian.
"Your strength isn't bad." The snow giant suddenly laughed. "Congratulations, you can now proceed to the next level. However, if you want to pass the next test, it's basically impossible. You'd better be mentally prepared."
As the sound of his voice faded, his body also transformed into snowflakes, drifting about in the wind before vanishing. However, at the location where he disappeared, a stairway leading to another dimension appeared in front of him.
It was unknown where the snowflakes came from, but they soon covered the entire area. Qin Wentian stretched out his hand, allowing the snowflakes to land on his palm, exuding a slight chill. His gaze followed the stairway upwards. From the words of the snow giant, it seemed that the next test would be even more difficult.
The Vermilion Bird had chosen the path of the Tyrant Emperor for Ouyang Kuangsheng and Chu Mang, the Blood Emperor for Mu Feng, and the Chaotic Sky Devil Emperor for Bai Qing. Now, what path did it choose for him?
If he could pass all of them, what would he gain?
Qin Wentian sat cross-legged in the snow, allowing the snowflakes to land on him as they gradually enveloped him.
After igniting the power of his bloodline, he would feel somewhat weak and needed a good rest.
Numerous Yuan Meteor Stones appeared in his palms as he absorbed the Astral Energy within.
After several days, Qin Wentian stood up and walked to the bottom of the flight of stairs.
Inclining his head, he didn't hesitate as he ascended the stairway upwards.
The instant he stepped out of the stairway, the stairway vanished as he appeared in another dimension. This place, was a forest of swords.
"Bzzz!" An incomparably terrifying sword intent instantly locked onto Qin Wentian. His countenance turned ashen as he inclined his head and stared at his surroundings. In the air, there were actually many swords floating about, each of them exuding a sword might that was sufficient to kill him. This forest of swords was a forest of swords, and every single one of them was filled with such swords.
"This …" Qin Wentian stared at the countless swords floating in the air. They were like a forest of swords, swaying with the wind. However, the tips of the swords were all pointed at him, gleaming with a terrifying sword light. It was as though as long as he made the slightest movement, only death would await him.
"This place is a forest of swords. If you choose to back out now, I will send you back." A voice seemed to originate from the void. Qin Wentian inclined his head and saw a silhouette slowly walking over from the vast forest of swords.
Although this person was walking slowly, the feeling he gave Qin Wentian was that every step he took was filled with sword intent. It was as though this person was formed from a sword, fusing as one with this forest of swords.
"How do I count as passing?" Qin Wentian asked.
"I will only tell you after you make up your mind. But let me remind you first, it's still not too late to give up now. Once you start, you will die nine out of ten times." The other party slowly spoke. Qin Wentian inclined his head and stared at the countless swords in the air. Indeed, as long as these swords moved, he would die for sure.
But now, he didn't even know what the test was. How could he give up just like that?
This wasn't something Qin Wentian would do. Since he chose the most difficult path, how could he back out now? In the future, how would he question himself?
"What is the test?" Qin Wentian asked again.
That person's expression was as calm as ever. After that, he slowly spoke, "If you can walk out of this forest of swords, you will pass the test. If you can't, you will die of old age here."
As the sound of his voice faded, he turned around and slowly walked out. At the same time, a voice drifted over, "Let me remind you, if you take a step forward, the swords will kill you."
Qin Wentian clenched his fists as his heart trembled. How could he pass this test?
It seemed impossible, but if he moved, he would die!
