"So, this is the Heavenly Cold Qi... It has truly evolved to a near-tangible form."
As the immense and chilling serpent-like eyes slowly scanned over them, Mo Yu and his companions felt their bodies stiffen momentarily.
The Heavenly Cold Qi, a force on par with Heavenly Flames, also possessed one of the most destructive powers in existence. This strength harbored unparalleled destructive potential, and aside from the continent's top-tier experts, no one could remain unaffected by its presence.
Sensing the oppressive might of the Heavenly Cold Qi, Mo Yu's expression turned slightly grim. He vividly recalled the scene at the Jia Nan Academy when the Fallen Heart Flame broke free of its seal—a calamity that even Su Qian, the Grand Elder, and the entire academy's upper echelon could not suppress.
However, in Mo Yu's current eyes, the Fallen Heart Flame was merely equivalent to a high-level Dou Zong. While it could dominate the Black-Corner Region, it was far from remarkable in Central Plains. By comparison, this Heavenly Cold Qi likely had one foot in the Dou Zun realm and possessed strength worthy of ranking among the top twelve on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.
As Mo Yu noticed the greedy glint in the serpent eyes of the Heavenly Cold Qi as they locked onto Qing Zhi, his brows furrowed, realizing its intent. It seemed that just as Mo Yu coveted the Heavenly Cold Qi, the Heavenly Cold Qi sought to devour the Frost Spirit Silver Thunder within Qing Zhi to accelerate its evolution.
Heaven and Earth treasures often had unique characteristics, but they all shared one trait: their immense power drove them to instinctively devour similar entities to strengthen themselves. Having developed intelligence, the Heavenly Cold Qi clearly understood that by consuming Qing Zhi's Frost Spirit Silver Thunder, its power would grow exponentially.
This realization made Mo Yu chuckle but also raised his vigilance. The Heavenly Cold Qi's power was extraordinarily potent, and within its home territory of Ice Cold Stream, its strength was amplified further. A single misstep could result in a disastrous outcome.
Mo Yu had come to the Ice Cold Stream intending to absorb the Heavenly Cold Qi and push the Frost Spirit Silver Thunder to its peak, not to deliver it as a gift for the Heavenly Cold Qi's growth.
"What now? Should we make a move?" Xiao Yixian's beautiful eyes turned toward Mo Yu as she asked.
"Hold still for now. Let's observe the situation," Mo Yu pondered briefly before responding.
This was the Heavenly Cold Qi's domain, and its strength was beyond his expectations. Prudence was the better approach.
Hearing his words, Xiao Yixian nodded, her gaze fixed on the Heavenly Cold Qi as her aura steadily grew stronger.
While Mo Yu and his group remained on high alert, the formless ice serpent fully awakened from the frozen layer. It raised its massive head abruptly, its colossal tail lashing out, and its enormous body shot toward the sky like a blur. Its target, however, was not Mo Yu, but Qing Zhi.
"Chirp!"
In an instant, the formless ice serpent emitted a sharp screech, and a terrifying frost aura capable of warping space surged forward.
The frost energy swept over them. Despite their protective Dou Qi, everyone could still feel a biting cold that wasn't easily warded off.
Scarlet flames and lightning churned like a protective shield over Mo Yu's body, mitigating the frost aura's effects with the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder. For him, the Heavenly Cold Qi's chill posed no harm.
As for Qing Zhi, he summoned a massive ice shield to repel the Heavenly Cold Qi's powerful tail strike.
Having fended off the Heavenly Cold Qi's first assault, Mo Yu's expression darkened. His hands swiftly formed seals, and with the augmentation of the True Origin Devouring Thunder and the Heavenly Thunder Body, his aura surged to the level of a Seven-Star Dou Zong.
"Xiao Yixian, Black Bat, the two of you stay on the sidelines and provide support. Leave the Heavenly Cold Qi to Qing Zhi and me!"
After his aura rose, Mo Yu turned to Xiao Yixian and the Black Bat King.
Though Xiao Yixian hesitated for a moment, she eventually nodded and retreated to the battlefield's edge with the Black Bat King.
Despite possessing the Woeful Poison Body and the sub-thunder of the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder gifted by Mo Yu, she had only recently reached the Six-Star Dou Zong level. Her strength was enough to dominate the Northwest Region, but in this battle, she was still outclassed.
Seeing Xiao Yixian withdraw, Mo Yu was reassured. He turned to Qing Zhi and commanded, "Qing Zhi, restrain it!"
Hearing this, Qing Zhi nodded quickly. The cold energy within his body surged as an overwhelming frost aura rapidly enveloped the Heavenly Cold Qi's massive form, freezing it solid in an instant.
Mo Yu's silver eyes gleamed at the sight, and he immediately gave a mental order to Xiao Jin. In the next moment, a terrifyingly destructive thunder orb appeared in his palm.
As the Black Gold Thunder Orb emerged, space around it began to crack, and nearby icebergs exploded into fragments.
Even the Heavenly Cold Qi, stunned by the destructive force, hissed wildly in alarm as it fixated on Mo Yu.
"Take this!"
With a cold shout, Mo Yu tossed the Black Gold Thunder Orb. It shot through the air like a meteor, carrying intense spatial ripples as it struck the massive body of the Heavenly Cold Qi. The resulting explosion bloomed like fireworks, scattering energy across its frozen form.
The Black Gold Thunder Orb, infused with multiple types of thunder energy, wielded immense destructive power. Even an opponent like Qing Jian would meet their end under its assault.
Though the frost serpent's overwhelming presence faltered under the fierce attack, its massive body plummeting as enraged cries echoed across the sky, Mo Yu's heart remained wary instead of relieved.
As he prepared to assess the Heavenly Cold Qi's condition, a wave of even more terrifying and frigid energy erupted from below.
Looking down, Mo Yu saw the formless ice serpent hurtling toward him at lightning speed. Its enormous triangular eyes exuded a chilling gaze, as if intent on freezing all before it.
"This creature... its strength exceeds expectations!"
Mo Yu's expression darkened as the ice serpent charged again. Despite the power of his four-element thunder orb, it had merely angered the Heavenly Cold Qi. Clearly, such Heaven and Earth entities couldn't be judged by common standards.
The ice serpent roared, its gaping maw releasing an invisible frost beam. The terrifying cold instantly froze the surrounding air, leaving a visible trail of ice in its wake.
Sensing the overwhelming power within the frost beam, Mo Yu's expression grew grave. With a thought, the Divine Might Black Thunder Spear appeared in his hand, and the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder surged within him, its fiery energy fully unleashed.
As the chaotic energy within him rapidly dissipated, Mo Yu coldly commanded, "Dragon Spirit, awaken!"
The moment his words fell, the surrounding Heaven and Earth energy swirled around the Divine Might Black Thunder Spear, forming a massive energy vortex centered on him.
The vortex tore open a fiery red rift in the void ahead, from which a roaring sea of fire-red lightning poured forth, creating a vast thunderous ocean suspended in the sky.
The sudden eruption of fiery red lightning engulfed the sky, churning into massive waves of thunder, accompanied by a piercing dragon roar that reverberated across the heavens.
Xiao Yixian's expression grew serious as she beheld the astonishing sight before her. Emerging from the sea of crimson lightning was a colossal black dragon. Its body was covered in dark scales, shimmering with a silvery gleam under the sunlight, as though forged from pure thunder.
An invisible yet overwhelming aura surged outward like a tidal wave, distorting the very fabric of space itself.
Xiao Yixian's beautiful eyes filled with astonishment as she stared at the black dragon dominating the scene. Although it was clear to her that this was not a real dragon but an energy construct, its sheer presence and majesty left her deeply shaken.
"This… could it be the weapon spirit of an eighth-grade weapon?" Xiao Yixian speculated in shock, her mind racing.
Weapons and pills that reached the eighth grade were said to possess sentience—pills gave rise to pill spirits, and weapons to weapon spirits. Yet, she hadn't anticipated that Mo Yu's weapon spirit would take the form of the most revered creature among beasts: a dragon!
"Go!"
Mo Yu's hand formed a sharp seal, and the fiery lightning raged through the air. The black dragon, entwined in crimson flames, soared upward with a deafening roar, colliding with the icy pillar that emanated bone-chilling frost.
"Boom!"
The clash of energies resulted in a thunderous explosion that echoed in the ears of everyone present. The impact shattered nearby glaciers into countless fragments, scattering them across the frozen landscape.
High in the sky, the ripples of energy caused by the collision forced Mo Yu to retreat a dozen paces before he could steady himself.
Looking down, he noticed the formless ice python coiling itself into a defensive formation. Its massive head was raised, staring warily at him. Clearly, even the python struggled to withstand the might of the fiery lightning dragon.
"Oh, it's effective after all," Mo Yu mused with a smirk.
In the natural order of the world, fire and ice were opposing forces. Though the dragon spirit wasn't a real dragon, its nascent draconic might suppressed the python, whose form was intrinsically serpentine. Moreover, the fire attributes of the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder countered the ice attributes of the Heavenly Cold Qi, tipping the scales in Mo Yu's favor.
"Hmph, beast! No matter how much sentience you've gained, you can't escape the fate of being subdued!"
With a flick of his brow, Mo Yu chuckled coldly. The black dragon roared once more, its crimson flames swirling as it turned to strike again.
The dragon's deafening roar echoed through the sky, shaking the heavens and earth alike. Despite being surrounded by the freezing mist, the fiery Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder protected the dragon spirit from harm, the intense heat distorting the surrounding space.
"Go!"
With a flick of his finger, Mo Yu sent the dragon spirit barreling forward. It surged through the freezing mist like a streak of lightning, biting fiercely into the massive body of the formless ice python. The two clashed violently, engaged in a vicious struggle.
"Hiss!"
The ice python's icy breath was melted away by the dragon spirit. With its protective cold aura stripped away, the Heavenly Cold Qi was left vulnerable to the dragon's relentless assault. A piercing, enraged screech erupted from the python, shaking the sky like thunder.
As the sound faded, a terrifying wave of energy rippled out from the frigid mist, causing everyone present to pale. Simultaneously, the dense cold aura shrouding the sky began to thin, indicating that the Heavenly Cold Qi was losing ground in its battle against the dragon spirit.
However, as the mist dissipated, Mo Yu's eyes swept downward, only to find the massive body of the formless ice python had vanished without a trace.
Frowning deeply, Mo Yu scanned his surroundings, but all he saw was the cold aura regrouping from all directions. The python's form was nowhere to be found.
"Where did it go?" Mo Yu muttered to himself, his guard rising.
Suddenly, the surrounding cold mist twisted violently, and the massive figure of the ice python reappeared behind him in a ghostly manner.
Its colossal tail swung through the air with devastating force, bringing with it an icy gust that seemed to freeze space itself as it hurtled toward Mo Yu.
"Dodge!"
Sensing the chilling wind, Mo Yu's instincts screamed in alarm. The Flash Void Breaking Thunder surged around him, and a spatial ripple radiated outward, allowing him to vanish just as the attack reached him.
Hundreds of meters away, Mo Yu reappeared atop an icy peak, his figure steady but his expression grim.
"So, it really is a sentient beast," he muttered, a hint of lingering fear in his tone.
While Mo Yu was regaining his composure, the formless ice python, its sneak attack foiled, let out another enraged hiss. Its massive body twisted as it suddenly shifted its attention toward Qing Zhi.
Charging toward its new target, the python unleashed a torrent of freezing air from its maw, freezing everything in its path into a lifeless, icy wasteland.
Qing Zhi, unflinching, quickly formed seals with his hands. The icy energy he released clashed violently with the python's cold aura. With a deafening boom, the two forces collided, sending waves of icy power surging outward.
"Retreat!"
Seeing the oncoming wave of freezing energy, Mo Yu's face darkened as he shouted a warning to Xiao Yixian. Without hesitation, he moved, retreating from the icy valley at full speed.
The moment Mo Yu and Xiao Yixian exited the valley, a crackling sound echoed behind them. At the epicenter of the clash between Qing Zhi and the python, the vast icy valley—stretching thousands of meters—was frozen solid under the combined force of their icy powers.
Watching this scene, Mo Yu's expression turned ominously dark.
