He had witnessed Qiangu Dongfeng’s death as well. Yet, the Spirit Pagoda’s previous Pagoda Master seemed to be oblivious to the incident.Qiangu Dieting was persistent. Actually, he was prepared to sacrifice himself when he decided to take part in this war.

  On the other hand, the situation with Wu Zhangkong was a deadlock.

  Wu Zhangkong’s opponent was an abyssal powerhouse with a tall and muscular body. Its entire body was emitting a ghoulish cold aura. It appeared quite similar to an ordinary human unlike the Sage Monarch’s dysmorphism.

  It was over two-and-a-half meters in height and its entire body was all bulging with muscles. The most scary part about this powerhouse was its arms. Its arms were constantly changing forms and turned into all kinds of weapons while fighting against Wu Zhangkong.

  Its cold eyes flickered with a yellow glint. It was locked in a struggle with Wu Zhangkong.

  The Skyfrost Dragon Ice four-word battle armor was cladded on Wu Zhangkong’s body. Wu Zhangkong’s capability could rival a Limit Douluo’s. His eyes were shining bright akin to the stars in the night sky. The Skyfrost Sword in his hand unleashed layers of a mesh which was used to enshroud the opponent.

  At present, he was in a peculiar state of mind. It seemed like his mind had cleared.

  Ever since Long Bing’s death, it was his first time experiencing this feeling. Perhaps, it was because when he killed the Darkness Hummingbird, a heavy boulder was lifted completely which had burdened his heart all this while.

  Thus, the way he was wielding the Skyfrost Sword in his hand seemed as effortless as moving his fingers. He expressed his repertoire of abilities and soul skills to perfection.

  His opponent was ranked seventh of the ten great abyssal monarchs. It was named the Transform Monarch due to its ability to perform a myriad of changes. It was skilled in transforming itself into different combat modes. The most scary part about the Transform Monarch was its ability to emulate the combat abilities of the creature which he had transformed into.

  Just like now, its pair of upper limbs turned into the Sickle Emperor’s front claws. Every time it stabbed forward with its arms, an incredibly sharp aura was unleashed.

  The two cuts on Wu Zhangkong’s Skyfrost Dragon Ice battle armor were made by the pair of sickles.

  The absolute zero temperature did not affect the Transform Monarch greatly. As one of the great monarchs, it had superb physical immunity.

  At present, the Transform Monarch charged forward inside the Nine Palace Box. Its pair of arms took the form of two sickles stabbing at Wu Zhangkong. The air was shredded. The abyssal Evil Sickle Clan was most skilled in short distance combat. It sprinted forward to attack. The attack was fast and ferocious.

  Wu Zhangkong took a half-step back. He held the Skyfrost Sword with his hands and tilted the sword in an upward lifting motion.

  “Clang!” A violent, loud boom was heard. Wu Zhangkong retreated at the sound of the boom. The Skyfrost Sword in his hands shook violently. He flapped the wings on his back and utilized the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to transport himself to the back of his opponent instantly. It was a close call.

  Although the space inside the Nine Palace Box was narrow, the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track was particularly well suited for close combat in such situations. It could turn around an adverse situation.

  As Wu Zhangkong swung the shaking Skyfrost Sword in his hand, he dodged the opponent’s consecutive attacks simultaneously. He unleashed the Frost Song Moon and instantly projected nine giant swords to stab toward the Transform Monarch. At the same time, a large puff of frosted mist burst forth from his body such that it filled the entire Nine Palace Box to block the Transform Monarch’s senses.

  The Transform Monarch could not charge forward any longer, so it swayed its body once. Its back suddenly bulged and transformed into a gigantic shell. Nine loud booms were heard in succession. Its body swayed, but it was not injured. This was the abyssal clan’s transformation with the most powerful defense.

  Not only that, the Transform Monarch’s upper limbs which had transformed into sickles initially transformed once again. It turned into human hands. However, it appeared odd as its arms were as slim as a woman’s. It drew a circle in the air to conjure a blackhole in front of itself. A powerful devouring force sucked in a substantial portion of the ice mist such that the view inside the Nine Palace Box cleared up once again.

  It was the Black Monarch’s devouring power!

  The most incredible part about the Transform Monarch was the myriad of transformations it could execute. It was capable of utilizing the abilities of almost all the abyssal leaders. Unfortunately, it could not utilize a hundred percent of its effects.

  Wu Zhangkong discovered through observation that when the Transform Monarch emulated the abyssal leaders, there would be a difference in the strengths of its attacks. For example, it was only eighty percent efficient in the use of the Sickle Monarch’s sickle arms.

  In the case of the Black Monarch, as it was quite different from the Transform Monarch, it could only utilize about fifty percent of the Black Monarch’s power at most. However, it was still effective in removing the ice mist.

  The toughest part of fighting against the Transform Monarch was its ability to use the most effective transformation with near perfect timing.

  Wu Zhangkong was used to his ice mist being devoured. He did not stop but his Skyfrost Sword was halted in midair. All of a sudden, the sixth soul ring on his body glowed brightly.

  He unleashed his sixth soul skill, the Condensed Frost!

  The surrounding air turned cold rapidly. Meanwhile, a radiance could be seen on the surface of the Skyfrost Sword. It was becoming more vivid. At the same time, Wu Zhangkong activated the absolute zero temperature. All at once, the temperature in the Nine Palace Box dropped to absolute zero.

  The Transform Monarch’s body turned dense and heavy. A pair of wings grew out of its back, and it charged forward forcefully.

  The absolute zero temperature did it no harm, although it did slow down its movements. At the same time, it found out that the lower the temperature, the more powerful Wu Zhangkong’s Skyfrost Sword became.

  Thus, it needed to interrupt Wu Zhangkong’s Condensed Frost first.

  The Frost Scars shot out from the sword and weaved into a dense mesh in the air. Wu Zhangkong’s body turned illusory soon after. It was precisely then the Skyfrost Dragon Ice battle armor on his body became illuminated.

  A ring of frosted, flower-shaped white halos spread out from underneath his feet. In no time, it spread into every corner of the Nine Palace Box.

  If the absolute zero temperature were a domain, then the inside of the entire Nine Palace Box would already be transformed into a world of ice and snow the moment the frosted flowers bloomed.

  An incomparably rich ice element filled every crack inside the Nine Palace Box.

  Wu Zhangkong felt as if he had returned to his past of white robes and blue sword with the Ice and Snow World in his background.

  If one thought that the absolute zero temperature earlier was not the true absolute zero, one would be truly convinced now.

  Despite the Transform Monarch’s cultivation base, it felt that its movements were severely restricted. The Frost Scars had actually cut into its defense and left behind scarred lines on the snow-covered land. The icy cold was biting and it seemed like the terrifying tearing force was about to cut the entire world apart.

  The Transform Monarch stopped charging abruptly since it sensed the intense threat at this very moment. Its thick and heavy body transformed into an incomparably fat figure all of a sudden.

  How would one describe its figure now? It took up more than half the space in the Nine Palace Box instantly.

  Its incredibly obese body emitted a strong stench. Its fat body looked like it had been sewn from pieces of fat tissue thrown together.

  The Frost Scar cut down huge chunks of lard from its pudgy body. As soon as the fat was cut off, it would emit a toxic stench.

  It was a Ba An! It was one of the powerful abyssal creatures which Tang Wulin had engaged with in the past. Only that an ordinary Ba An was not as hefty as this. The Transform Monarch was emulating the king of Ba An at the moment, who was also known as the Ba Emperor.

  The Ba Emperor was far inferior when compared to the Transform Monarch’s cultivation base. However, the Ba Emperor possessed an extremely powerful ability which was regeneration.

  If one were to compare the abyssal creatures’ survival abilities, the Ba Emperor was definitely at the top of the list.

  Thus, the Transform Monarch immediately took the Ba Emperor’s form when it sensed that something was wrong. The Frost Scars cut and slashed at full speed, but the Ba Emperor’s toxic gas rapidly filled up the space as well. Moreover, its fatty flesh was regenerating at a shocking speed.

  The vital part of the Ba Emperor was its heart. It was extremely difficult to locate the Ba Emperor’s heart from its enormous, fat body. It was also capable of shifting its heart to different locations spontaneously.
