Chapter 184

As Spindle Palm Monarch Wang Wook and Beigong Xue advanced, members of the Beihai Ice Palace stepped back, creating space for their duel. Standing eye to eye with Beigong Xue, Wang Wook sensed an unusual aura and furrowed his brow. Until recently, Beigong Xue's energy had been obscured by the twelve Beihai Glacier Zombies' aura.

Now, facing her directly, he realized it was no ordinary energyit resonated at least at the Absolute Realm.

Wang Wook couldn't grasp it. When Beigong Xue fled from the Beihai Ice Palace, her martial prowess was clearly at the Upper Peak Realm. Yet, in just a few months, she had ascended to the Absolute Realm. He was certain she must have undergone a miraculous enlightenment.

"It seems you stumbled upon some miraculous enlightenment. Is that why you're being presumptuous?" Wang Wook inquired.

"You'll soon discover if I'm presumptuous or not," Beigong Xue replied briefly.

Beigong Xue unsheathed the Beihai Divine Ice Sword, signaling an end to the conversation. With the sword's release, a chilling wave filled the surroundings, causing Wang Wook's expression to tense. The Beihai Divine Ice Sword amplified cold qi, doubling the impact of ice-based martial artsa significant concern now that Beigong Xue had ascended to the Absolute Realm.

Realizing the trap they were in, Wang Wook knew he had to act swiftly. Charging at Beigong Xue, he unleashed the Beihai Ice Shard Claw Art, a unique technique of the Dong Family. A blue-colored claw force surged towards Beigong Xue, drawing a diagonal trajectory.

In response, she unfolded the first technique of the White Ice Divine Sword Art, the White Ice Flash, effortlessly shattering the claw force.

The clash intensified as Beigong Xue launched successive White Ice Flashes, forcing Wang Wook to dodge and evade without getting closer. Ice walls surrounded him, limiting his movements. Beigong Xue, anticipating his dodges, strategically unleashed blades of ice, creating a formidable assault.

Trapped and flustered, Wang Wook found himself surrounded by ice walls. Beigong Xue thrust the Beihai Divine Ice Sword, and instead of a single blade, ten blades of ice appearedthe White Ice Death Web. Wang Wook, hesitant to reveal his true identity by using the Dong Familys martial arts, instinctively activated the Spindle Sky Breaker Palm.

A clash ensued, with the blood-colored wheel of the Sky Breaker Palm meeting the onslaught of the White Ice Death Web, creating a resounding blast that reverberated through the area.

The Blood Wheel Vajra Qi from the Spindle Sky Breaker Palm shattered all the ice blades of the White Ice Death Web, hurtling towards Beigong Xue with an ear-splitting roar. Its power remained undiminished, resonating like thunder. Beigong Xue, communicating through telepathy, swiftly directed the Beihai Glacier Zombies into action.

Two of them positioned themselves in front of her, simultaneously extending their palms. A surge of Beihai Glacier Qi emerged, intercepting the Blood Wheel Vajra Qi. The intense cold of the Glacier Qi caused the Blood Wheel Vajra Qi to freeze and ultimately shatter, dispersing into nothingness.

You finally revealed your true colors. Beigong Xue spoke to Wang Wook.

The members of the Beihai Ice Palace distinctly observed Wang Wook's martial arts, unmistakably not aligned with Beihai techniques. The dense demonic qi emanating from the Blood Wheel Vajra Qi provided clear evidence that Wang Wook was a practitioner from the Nine Celestial Demons Sect.

"Impressive. However, don't revel too much now that my true identity is exposed. Nothing will change anyway," Wang Wook said nonchalantly.

"I wonder if that's really the case. The Beihai Ice Palace's members won't follow your orders now that they know you're a demonic practitioner from the Nine Celestial Demons Sect," Beigong Xue countered.

"Who knows? I wonder if that's truly the case. Members of the Beihai Ice Palace, listen up! Your families are in our hands. If you want to save them, obey our orders. Refusal means the death of your families," Wang Wook declared.

"You wicked bastard!" Beigong Xue quivered with rage at the Nine Celestial Demons Sect's malevolence.

The members of the Beihai Ice Palace were profoundly shaken. Discovering that their family heads were practitioners from the Nine Celestial Demons Sect was shocking enough, but the threat of their families being held hostage left them uncertain about what to do next.

"Members of the Beihai Ice Palace, don't be deceived by his words! If we eliminate the entire group from the Nine Celestial Demons Sect here, the safety of the Beihai Ice Palace's families is ensured. Moreover, it takes roughly half a month to reach the Beihai Ice Palace's manor from here. The claim that the Nine Celestial Demons Sect has taken your families hostage is already suspicious. Even if true, they can't harm your families at the Beihai Ice Palace's manor right now. It's a ploy to threaten you and buy time!" Mu-Gun shouted to the wavering members of the Beihai Ice Palace.

Mu-Gun's remarks brought a sense of relief to many members of the Beihai Ice Palace. His words resonated, and they began to consider the possibility that Mu-Gun's perspective held merit.

"Are you willing to risk your family's lives by trusting the words of a man from the Central Plains with no ties to the Beihai Ice Palace?" Wang Wook shouted at the members.

"This man is the Thunder God's successor, and I owe him gratitude for coming from the Central Plains to aid in saving the Beihai Ice Palace. Don't be deceived by the words of that evil man!" Beigong Xue countered Wang Wook's remarks.

"Young Matriarch, there's no need for further discussion. Let's prioritize defeating them," Mu-Gun advised.

Beigong Xue nodded in agreement with Mu-Gun and commanded the Beihai Glacier Zombies. The twelve zombies swiftly advanced, charging towards the eight demonic monarchs.

Higher Demons, stop those jiangshis! The eight demonic monarchs shouted to the Higher Demons.

Thirty Higher Demons, disguised as clan executives, stepped forward to impede the progress of the Beihai Glacier Zombies. Simultaneously, the eight demonic monarchs sought a swift escape, but Mu-Gun, determined not to let them flee, activated the Thunder God's Shadow to cut off their path.

"I've come all this way to meet you all. It would be a disappointment if you just leave," Mu-Gun declared.

"Even as the Thunder God's successor, do you think you can take on all of us?" one of the demonic monarchs challenged.

I dont think it is going to be very difficult.

Come at us then. Lets see how incredible you are, you fucker.

Spindle Fist Monarch Yuk Jeon-Chu signaled the other demonic monarchs, and they synchronized their attacks on Mu-Gun. The onslaught, resembling a tidal wave, was met by Mu-Gun extending the Flying Golden Shield. Emitting golden thunder, the shield expanded into a massive defensive structure, forming layer upon layernine in total.

This technique, known as the Golden Nine-Layered Thunder Wall, was Mu-Gun's absolute defense.

The Eight Spindle Monarchs' powerful attacks collided with the nine-layered golden shield, creating a thunderous roar that shook Beiming Island's ice mountains. Beigong Xue, anxiously watching, saw the clash unfold. Despite the initial shattering of the golden shield, Mu-Gun's prowess became evident as the attacks weakened over time and were ultimately blocked by the final layer.

Stunned by Mu-Gun's ability to singlehandedly withstand their assault, the Eight Spindle Monarchs prepared to launch another attack.

I should give back as much as I have received, right?

Mu-Gun took the initiative, ascending into the air and thrusting his sword toward the sky. A golden wave of thunder surged from his sword, giving rise to a multitude of golden Thunderbolt Swords raining down upon the Eight Spindle Monarchs. This breathtaking display, known as the Heavenly Thunder Rain Burst, turned the sky into a golden spectacle. However, for the Eight Spindle Monarchs, this was a nightmarish scenario. Faced with over a thousand Thunderbolt Swords, evasion was impossible. Their only recourse was to block the onslaught. Launching a powerful attack toward the sky, their vajra qi clashed with the descending golden Thunderbolt Swords, causing a warping and intense shaking across a vast area.

The collision of energy from nine martial arts masters condensed into one point, generating immense pressure that explosively released. The ensuing shockwaves struck icebergs indiscriminately, causing them to shatter, and massive chunks of ice began to rain down. The alarming issue was the presence of many members of the Beihai Ice Palace beneath the collapsing icebergs.

Everyone, avoid it! Beigong Xue shouted urgently.

Members of the Beihai Ice Palace hastily dodged the falling ice chunks, and Beigong Xue navigated through the chaos while keeping an eye on Mu-Gun's confrontation with the Eight Spindle Monarchs.

Despite the Eight Spindle Monarchs successfully blocking a considerable number of the golden Thunderbolt Swords, the sheer volume overwhelmed them, causing dozens to strike the surrounding area. The impact led to the collapse of the ground, and the shattered Thunderbolt Swords generated waves of lightning between the cracks.

Busy evading the falling ice chunks, the Eight Spindle Monarchs found themselves engulfed by waves of golden lightning surging in from all sides. While not lethal to Absolute Realm masters, the lightning temporarily stunned them. Stiffened by the golden lightning, they were drawn into the collapsing ground, where incoming ice chunks from the icebergs added to their predicament.

Despite being stunned, the Eight Spindle Monarchs, being Absolute Realm masters, swiftly regained control of their bodies. Activating their movement arts, they soared up to evade the collapsing ground and falling ice chunks. However, Mu-Gun anticipated their resilience and unleashed the Hundred Golden Lightning Wheel Wave.

The circling golden wheel transformed into a multitude of Thunderbolt Swords, homing in on the escaping Eight Spindle Monarchs. Close to a hundred golden Thunderbolt Swords pierced their bodies consecutively, leaving them with fatal wounds.

After rendering the Eight Spindle Monarchs unable to fight, Mu-Gun utilized the Thunder God's Aerial Steps to swiftly exit the iceberg area, still caught in the aftermath. Meanwhile, the Higher Demons, subordinate to the Eight Spindle Monarchs, succumbed to the relentless assault of the Beihai Glacier Zombies. Beigong Xue safely escaped the iceberg area under the protection of the Beihai Glacier Zombies.
