Whoosh~

Sword energies flew around the sky, slamming into the ice dragon and adding to the seal. The ice dragon howled at the sky with such power it crushed the stage, then blew his breath on the audience, one of ice and cold.

The chilling breath swept the unfortunate ones and turned them into statues of ice in mid panic. So deep was the cold that it froze their very souls.

“We’re finished! The heaven and earth has gone berserk!” One elder held his head and sighed bitterly.

Ouyang Changqing was enraged when Ye Lin attacked his fans, “Hey, western lands punk, have you lost your mind?”

“You’re the demented one, Changqing!”

The elder shook his head and snapped at him, “Have you any idea what calamity you caused? Evoking Heaven Art and Heaven Sealing Art engender each other. Evoking Heaven Art breaks, opening a channel into the world so you can draw its power. While Heaven Sealing Art seals this channel and the power. When a cultivator uses the worldly power, it would dissipate afterward and return to the its rightful place, back to the world. This is its nature.

“But you opened a channel into the world then had it sealed in place. The minute you lost all control over that power it started spilling into reality without stopping thanks to locking the channel while also running amok with no one to direct it. And this is the result!”

Ouyang Changqing’s eyes went wide, scratching his head classlessly, “Elder, so you’re saying the dragon isn’t that guy but amassed worldly power? Why is it attacking people then? Isn’t it just energy?”

“The world has spiritual energy so it must have its own will!”

The elder shook his head, “Once a cultivator draws upon the worldly power, they can control it, but now this power has gone berserk, gathering in one place and also gaining sentience from the will of the world. With heaven and earth going crazy, you have no idea what kind of a disaster it can cause, it’s beyond anything humanly possible!”

Ouyang Changqing looked at the far ice dragon with a deep frown, “What about the western lands punk? You’re saying the power focused on him and it’s controlling him? What about his mind, has it been swallowed?”

“You have the nerve to ask?”

The elder’s face twitched and shook his head, “Have you no clue what you just did? You used Heaven Sealing Sword Art and he’s been frickin’ sealed! Now the power of the world is going into the dragon without a conscience, the best thing for it. If the mind was still there, some control would’ve been possible. This time is going to be even harder to deal with than two thousand years ago. Your father is going to tan your hide!”

Ouyang Changqing’s lip quivered, like he was a naughty child caught red-handed and looking guilty.

The roars echoed across the skies as the ice dragon flung its bulk around and spraying ice to freeze everything. The only expressive thing about these lifelike statues were the fearful eyes and the shocked faces.

Wu Qingqiu cried out, “Little junior brother, what happened to you? Stop!”

Hu~

The ice dragon blew ice once more.

Wu Qingqiu knew he was going to fall under such power and rushed to dodge. His leg ended up being caught in the blast, freezing over.

“Sir, what just happened? Go and take Qingcheng away!”

The peaceful storytelling had now come to an abrupt end as a monster rampaged around turning people into popsicles. Shui Ruohua gasped and reached for Chu Qingcheng to take her away from this dangerous place.

Zhuo Fan regarded the peaceful face of his wife and smiled, “It’s fine, there’s no need to disturb her. You haven’t finished the story, miss Shui, please continue.”

[As if! With so much chaos around the world might be ending, and you’re asking me to tell you a bedtime story? Even if I might be suicidal, I will never let any harm come to Qingcheng. What kind of a sister you take me for?]

While she was insisting on taking Chu Qingcheng, one guard grabbed her hand, “Miss, since sir said you may continue, then it’s fine. Please trust him. We’re also here and shall keep the danger at bay from reaching miss.”

Looking into Zhuo Fan’s eyes then into those eyes filled with complete trust, she turned to watch the berserk ice dragon. Shui Ruohua hesitated, but she had no choice other than nod, even if against it.

Zhuo Fan smiled and looked at Qingcheng next to him lovingly.

Bam!

On stage, Exalted Hei Ran shot a sword energy at the ice dragon and break the ice on it and reach his dear disciple. But the dragon shook and all the ice splashing about was soon absorbed into its body along with the power of the strike.

Exalted Hei Ran gasped in fright, “What in the world is that thing?”

“Exalted, please refrain from doing anything. Nothing we do will have any effect.”

One elder with a white beard came over as he explained hastily, “That is the embodiment of the Heaven Sealing Sword Art. No matter what skill is used, it will only be absorbed by the seal and become its own power. That’s why nothing we do to it will help. We can only protect the other disciples and flee from here!”

Exalted Hei Ran was astonished, then he glanced at the panicking disciples fleeing for their lives still ending up in ice from the dragon’s breath and said, “If you say this thing’s unstoppable, how then do we deal with it? We can’t let it run amok and freeze the whole sect!”

“Exalted, it can seal everything but the five great divine swords!”

The man cupped his hands and pointed at the ice swords raining down from above even now, “Please observe, the channel into the world has been opened, turning into an infinite loop. Our only hope is to dodge and wait for brother Lingtian to come with the Heaven Sealing Sword and seal the channel then cut it to disperse all that power. He will also go easy as to save your disciple as well.”

Exalted Hei Ran’s brow shook, looking at the ice dragon freezing anything that moved with a sigh. He relinquished a nod.

This thing was now part of the world, undying and unstoppable. The more power they used on it, the more it absorbed. The only option right now was to wait for Ouyang Lingtian to come to the rescue and fix this damn mess his own son made!

Ouyang Changqing looked at the ice dragon ruining everything, out of his control, and felt so bad he could cry.

[I can’t tell if dad will come to strike me down or the the dragon first, sniff…]

“Ouyang Changqing, this is all your fault. You did this, you caused this disaster to fall on so many lives!” Two girls flashed out of nowhere. Shangguan Qingyan glared at him and started cursing. Murong Xue was furious as well, full of hatred.

Murong Xue’s hatred however was due to having involved innocents. Shangguan Qingyan’s rage was because she worried for Zhuo Fan so she was taking it out on him. She was running her mouth while looking around for Zhuo Fan.

With everyone in panic, it was hard to look. Ouyang Changqing lowered his head in guilt under the chastising look of the girl of his dreams.

He was even more accepting of his guilt than when faced with his father…

[There!]

Shangguan Qingyan spotted Zhuo Fan, still sitting without a worry and listening to everything.

Talk about monstrous, not even having a healthy respect for the worldly abomination running amok just next to him.

Maybe it felt the contempt, or maybe all the targets fled and left only Zhuo Fan’s group still untouched, but the ice dragon roared and set its eyes on them. It shot for them, its icy aura freezing the area around it as it passed.

“Watch out!”

Shangguan Qingyan cried out in fright, a little too late. The others around her looked down just in time to see another poor souls being sacrificed to the calamity.

“Leave this to me!” A resounding voice spoke.

Hum~

The cold humming of a sword was heard as a figure in gray rushed over at full speed.

“Dad!”

Ouyang Changqing cried out, thrilled and scared. While the others looked on in hope.

Northern lands’ best, Ouyang Lingtian, finally arrived with Heaven Sealing Sword to clean up his son’s mess…
