This was a world of ice and snow. This was the coldest place on Profound Continent. Frigid winds howled along the way. As far as the eye could see, a vast expanse of snow covered every corner. Ancient trees, rocks, and rivers were all covered in ice and snow. It was as though there was no second color between heaven and earth.
In this bone-chilling region, Han Shuo's consciousness could sense traces of magical beasts. Ice bears, snow wolves, and frost eagles, these magical beasts that preferred cold environments, roamed the uninhabited world of ice and snow, adding some vitality to this world.
Along the way, Han Shuo's target was one of the many icy peaks. His killing intent was awe-inspiring, his heart as cold as ice.
The two most frightening figures of the Shrine of Ice were Ice Celestial Corey and Snow Celestial Tiana. They were the true pillars of the Shrine of Ice. Of the two, Snow Celestial Tiana had schemed against Han Shuo on the Sacred Mountain, nearly causing Han Shuo to be captured alive by the Church of Light. As for Ice Celestial Corey, not only had he wiped out the entire race of dark dragons, he was also the cause of Gilbert's death.
On top of that, the Shrine of Ice and the Church of Light were solid allies. Han Shuo couldn't find any reason not to retaliate against them.
When he was about to approach the central icy peak, Han Shuo slowed down his flying speed. He fully unfolded his consciousness, concealing the aura on his body. While carefully observing every movement on the main peak, he searched for a way to enter the main peak undetected.
Holding his breath and concentrating, Han Shuo's consciousness immediately sensed the boundary of frost all around the icy peak. The boundary enveloped the entire main peak. Fierce, frigid winds and solid ice wrapped around the central peak. Amidst the frigid winds and solid ice, Han Shuo sensed the presence of the divine energy of the Ice Goddess.
This discovery made Han Shuo even more cautious. The speed at which he approached the main peak of the Shrine of Ice slowed down even more. His mind was rapidly pondering countermeasures.
One after another, disciples of the Shrine of Ice entered and exited the icy peak. However, the boundary that enveloped the main peak all year round never gave any warning, nor did it make any counterattack.
Han Shuo carefully observed for a moment and discovered that some of these disciples who had entered the main peak of the Shrine of Ice actually did not possess the divine power of the Ice Goddess. However, without exception, their bodies were ice-cold, much lower than the average person's body temperature.
After observing for a while, Han Shuo came to a conclusion. Hovering in the sky at an altitude difficult to see with the naked eye, Han Shuo slowly adjusted his body's temperature. He even converted an appropriate amount of cold energy into the Mystical Glacial Spellfire. In an extremely short period of time, Han Shuo's body temperature had reached the same level as the disciples of the Shrine of Ice below.
On the Profound Continent, there were existences stronger than Han Shuo. However, Han Shuo believed that no one could surpass him in terms of physical control. This was the confidence that came from the demonic arts towards the abnormal forging of the body!
After adjusting his body's temperature, Han Shuo observed for a while to ensure that he would not trigger any abnormalities in the boundary around the icy peak. Only then did he start searching for an opportunity to enter the main peak.
After observing for a while, Han Shuo discovered a precipitous cliff that jutted out halfway up the icy peak. There was not a single disciple of the Shrine of Ice stationed in that area. Having ascertained his target, Han Shuo seized the opportunity and noiselessly descended to that cliff from the sky.
Han Shuo, whose consciousness had firmly locked onto the entire icy peak, had long discovered Ice Celestial Corey's location while deliberately concealing the aura and energy on his body – inside an ice cone-shaped building at the summit of the icy peak.
At this moment, Ice Celestial Corey should be recuperating from his injuries. Han Shuo could sense that Corey's aura was stable, without the slightest emotional fluctuation. There was not a single person stationed around that ice cone-shaped building. As long as Han Shuo could approach that building stealthily, Han Shuo was confident that his sneak attack would succeed.
However, to reach that building from the cliff where Han Shuo was, without being detected by anyone along the way was virtually impossible.
This was because, on the entire icy peak, apart from the steep mountain path, there were no trees or rocks that could provide cover. In this boundless world covered in ice and snow, any movement could be captured by others.
Moreover, within a magical tower at the summit of the icy peak, Han Shuo even discovered magical undulations similar to the Eye of the Sky. The magic released by that magical tower seemed to be able to see every movement on the entire icy peak.
After pondering for a moment with his brows creased, Han Shuo suddenly thought of metal elite zombie. After quickly spinning his brain, he immediately felt that this method was feasible.
Although this icy peak was covered in solid ice, its interior was still supported by solid rock. The thick layer of ice surrounding the icy peak was formed naturally on one hand, and was intentionally created by the Shrine of Ice on the other. As long as he could break through the solid ice and reach the rock, using metal elite zombie's ability, Han Shuo could completely penetrate through the rock and reach the bottom of the building where Ice Celestial Corey was located.
This method is feasible! Han Shuo immediately spread open his hands. His fingernails suddenly grew into the shape of Demonic Blades. The Demonic Blades glinting with cold light were incomparably sharp. Under the infusion of demonic arts, Han Shuo broke through the three-meter layer of ice bit by bit and saw the foundation that supported the icy peak – the rock.
As soon as Han Shuo gave the command, metal elite zombie tacitly understood. His palms glowed with golden light as the yuan energy of metal flowed into the rock like flowing water. Then, under Han Shuo's attentive gaze, the solid rock split open to reveal a path.
The five elite zombies, regardless of their individual strengths, were indeed of great help to Han Shuo! Han Shuo couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he looked at the creation of the tunnel.
Following Ice Celestial Corey's position, Han Shuo, with metal elite zombie's assistance, slowly made his way from the center of the mountainside to the summit of the icy peak where Ice Celestial Corey was located.
Metal elite zombie could freely enter and exit the rock, but with the addition of Han Shuo, he had no choice but to open up a path. Under the release of dazzling golden light from his hands, the solid rock split, recombined, and compacted, forming a path that extended upwards in a way that Han Shuo could not comprehend.
As the tunnel was illuminated by the dazzling golden light from metal elite zombie's hands, Han Shuo did not feel the slightest bit of darkness. While following behind metal elite zombie, he inwardly pondered the details of his sneak attack on Ice Celestial Corey.
Suddenly, metal elite zombie abruptly stopped. Caught off guard, Han Shuo nearly crashed into metal elite zombie.
They had only traveled a hundred meters and were still a long distance away from the summit of the icy peak where Ice Celestial Corey was. Why did metal elite zombie suddenly stop?
Han Shuo was puzzled. He couldn't help but look at metal elite zombie's back and transmitted, "Why did he stop?"
"Father, look!" Metal elite zombie leaned his body to one side. The surrounding rock shrank a little more, allowing Han Shuo and metal elite zombie to stand side by side.
Han Shuo took a step forward and stood at the spot metal elite zombie had intentionally vacated. Following the direction metal elite zombie's right hand was pointing at, Han Shuo was immediately dumbstruck by what he saw.
Before Han Shuo, the belly of the mountain had been hollowed out. A majestic statue of the Ice Goddess, approximately sixty meters tall, was sitting in the hollowed out belly of the mountain.
This enormous and majestic statue of the Ice Goddess was formed from solid ice that was as bright as crystal. The sculpture was vivid and lifelike. She wore a frosty expression on her face. Her left hand tightly grasped a crystal staff that was similarly sculpted from solid ice. She looked as though she was in battle with some evil demon. Her expression was solemn and dignified, carrying an air of inviolable holiness.
The statue of the Ice Goddess wore a peculiar white robe. However, as the entire statue was constructed from the same transparent solid ice, Han Shuo was able to clearly see the inside of her body.
There were no internal organs within the body of the Ice Goddess. There was only a peculiar substance that was a mixture of ice and water circulating within. It sparkled with a dazzling brilliance like a diamond and slowly flowed within her body according to some mysterious trajectory.
However, in the womb of the Ice Goddess stood a beautiful naked young lady with skin of ice and bones of jade. This young lady's eyes were peacefully closed. There was not the slightest trace of life coming from her. However, her beauty was comparable to that of the Saintess of the Church of Light. It was a kind of perfection that shouldn't exist in the secular world!
Han Shuo was standing at the foot of the Ice Goddess statue. When he raised his head to look at this majestic statue, a feeling of insignificance immediately welled up from the bottom of his heart. He was momentarily stunned by this Ice Goddess statue that suddenly appeared in the middle of the mountain.
What was certain was that the Ice Goddess statue was indeed carved from an enormous block of solid ice. For the Shrine of Ice to have such an enormous Ice Goddess statue in the middle of the mountain, there must be a reason for its existence. After Han Shuo came to his senses, he was horrified and his eyes sparkled.
That naked young lady in the womb of the Ice Goddess statue was ice cold and lifeless. Han Shuo's consciousness couldn't detect the slightest fluctuation of her soul. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out why there would be such a bizarre scene in the middle of the mountain.
Just as Han Shuo was racking his brains, a creaking sound suddenly came from the rock wall above the Ice Goddess statue. Under Han Shuo's attentive gaze, a large cliff slowly protruded from the rock wall. On top of it stood a few Shrine of Ice disciples.
When the first creaking sound was heard, Han Shuo unconsciously took a step back and rapidly issued an order to metal elite zombie. Metal elite zombie swiped his hand across the rock wall and the crack in front of him rapidly shrank. When the rock wall above the Ice Goddess statue completely protruded, the crack in front of Han Shuo and metal elite zombie had shrunk to the point where only a small gap remained.
