However, the Ice Venerable, being the Valley Master of Ice River Valley, one of the Three Valleys, still possessed some strength. At this moment, the Ice Venerable had fully activated his Acquired Calamity Poison Body, and his aura had faintly reached the level of a Six-Star Dou Zun. After expending considerable effort, he finally managed to escape from the ice sculpture!
Currently, the Ice Venerable's face was filled with panic!
After all, his venerable title was based on ice! Yet now, he had been frozen solid by someone else using Profound Ice Power!
If this incident became known, the Ice Venerable would likely be unable to survive on this Continent in the future. However, the Ice Venerable's worry was completely unnecessary, because starting today, Ice River Valley would cease to exist. Yet, the Ice Venerable believed that his eminent Ice River Valley would not be destroyed by such a junior!
After all, if Ice River Valley vanished, the structure of the Central Continent would be completely altered!
Immediately, the Ice Venerable looked at Xiao Yi with a terrified expression and spoke softly:
"Young friend..." "This matter is truly a misunderstanding..."
"I did not know that this Calamity Poison Girl was your friend. If I had known, even if Ice River Valley had a hundred times the courage, we would absolutely not dare to commit such an outrageous act..."
The contempt that the Ice Venerable had initially shown toward Xiao Yi was gone, replaced instead by sheer panic!
Because from the Ice Venerable's perspective, Xiao Yi had reached the Nine-Star Dou Zun Realm at such a young age!
Such a Cultivation speed, no matter how outstanding the talent, would be difficult to achieve without abundant Cultivation resources to match it!
And to be able to nurture such a young Nine-Star Dou Zun Expert!
In the Ice Venerable's opinion, only the mysterious yet powerful Seven Ancient Clans could achieve this!
And specifically, the strongest among them, the Gu Clan and the Hun Clan!
Therefore, the Ice Venerable now believed that Xiao Yi must hail from either the Gu Clan or the Hun Clan. Consequently, the Ice Venerable felt nothing but fear and cowardice towards the youth before him, having abandoned all other thoughts!
He also deeply regretted provoking the Calamity Poison Girl. Hearing this, Xiao Yi merely gave a disdainful smile and spoke softly:
"Ice Venerable..." "What a massive misunderstanding..."
"But if I hadn't arrived today, I doubt the Ice Venerable would have realized this was a misunderstanding, would he?"
"Or perhaps, if I weren't your opponent today, you still wouldn't have realized this was a misunderstanding..."
"Talking further is useless. Today, Ice River Valley will be completely erased from the Fighting Qi Continent!"
"Young friend! Is there truly no room for negotiation on this matter? Must you really wipe us out completely?"
Feeling the fierce killing intent contained within Xiao Yi's Dou Qi!
The Ice Venerable's voice was filled with agitated trembling.
After Xiao Yi fed the Xiao Yi Xian a Medicinal Pill and ensured she was properly settled.
He slowly took a step forward. His fierce aura caused his dark robe to flutter in the cold wind.
A wisp of faint blue Dou Qi lingered around Xiao Yi's fingertip.
"Wipe us out completely? I am merely seeking justice for my friend today..."
However, before Xiao Yi could finish speaking.
The Ice Venerable knew that the only way to survive was to fight with his life on the line!
So, the next second, the Ice Venerable moved abruptly.
He saw him stomp his left foot fiercely onto the ice surface, and his entire body transformed into a pale blue afterimage.
Simultaneously, the Void Realm behind the Ice Venerable cracked open again, and a massive palm shadow emerged from it!
Wherever the ice palm passed, the layers of ice on the ground shattered, and the splashing ice shards were frozen into dust mid-air.
However, Xiao Yi merely shifted slightly to the side, and blue Dou Qi formed a profound ice barrier around him that was as thin as a cicada's wing.
When the Ice Venerable's ice palm struck the barrier, it only produced a crisp shattering sound, and the pale blue cold Qi was instantly melted away by the blue Dou Qi.
"Such weak cold Qi, and you dare call yourself the Ice Venerable?"
Xiao Yi spoke with disdain.
"Impossible!"
The Ice Venerable's pupils contracted sharply. That palm strike just now contained the Ice Venerable Force he had Cultivated for so many years, as well as the poison from his Acquired Calamity Poison Body!
Even an Eight-Star Dou Zun would have to temporarily avoid its edge, yet it was clearly neutralized by the person before him!
More crucially, it was neutralized using Cold Ice Dou Qi, which he himself specialized in. Despite this, the Ice Venerable dared not hesitate for a moment, rapidly forming seals with his hands and silently reciting incantations.
The cold Qi surrounding the Ice Venerable suddenly gathered frantically, condensing into nine crystalline ice spears in front of him, their tips gleaming with a ghostly blue light.
"Go!" The Ice Venerable roared, and the nine ice spears shot towards Xiao Yi like meteors.
Each ice spear carried a sharp sound that tore through the air, and wherever the tips passed, even the space itself shimmered with faint frost.
But Xiao Yi remained standing in place, waiting until the ice spears were less than ten feet away from him.
Only then did he slowly raise his right hand, condensing a wisp of pale blue Cold Ice Dou Qi on his fingertip.
The Dou Qi contained a heart-palpitating pressure
ess
the unique aura of a Heaven Rank Dou Skill.
"A Heaven Rank Dou Skill?!" The Ice Venerable's face instantly turned ashen.
As a Dou Zun Expert, he naturally knew the terror of a Heaven Rank Dou Skill!
Therefore, the Ice Venerable's first reaction was to retreat, attempting to mobilize his entire body's Dou Qi for defense.
But it was already too late.
The pale blue Cold Ice Dou Qi on Xiao Yi's fingertip suddenly surged.
It transformed into a blue finger shadow several yards long. Where the finger shadow passed, the air seemed to freeze, and even the nine ice spears instantly turned into dust.
"Heavenly Cold Finger!" Xiao Yi softly shouted.
The blue finger shadow shot towards the Ice Venerable like lightning.
The Ice Venerable frantically mobilized his full body's Dou Qi, condensing three thick layers of ice shields in front of him. Each ice shield was covered with runes of the Extreme Cold Ice God Avatar, but when the blue finger shadow landed on the first shield, the shield shattered like fragile glass.
The second and third layers followed suit, unable to offer even the slightest resistance.
The blue finger shadow pierced through the ice shields and landed directly on the Ice Venerable's chest.
The Ice Venerable felt a terrifying power surge into his body; his Dou Qi was instantly frozen, and his bones emitted a brittle, unbearable cracking sound.
The venerable ring of the Dou Zun Expert behind him instantly disintegrated, scattering into a sky full of ice crystals.
The Ice Venerable tried to speak, but only a mouthful of fresh blood rushed out of his throat. The blood landed on the ice surface and instantly froze into red ice crystals.
"No... I am unwilling..." The Ice Venerable's body slowly collapsed, his eyes filled with despair and reluctance.
He had Cultivated for two hundred years, climbing step by step from a minor ice-attribute Dou Practitioner to the position of Dou Zun.
He had endured countless life-and-death crises, becoming the Valley Master of Ice River Valley, one of the Three Valleys, achieving both fame and fortune!
Yet, in the end, he died at the hands of a youth nearly a hundred times younger than him, slain by a Heaven Rank Dou Skill.
Xiao Yi retracted his right hand, and the blue Dou Qi on his fingertip slowly dissipated.
Xiao Yi looked at the Ice Venerable's corpse lying on the ice, his gaze completely unwavering.
Now that the Ice Venerable, the strongest person in Ice River Valley, had fallen!
Xiao Yi adhered to one principle from beginning to end!
That was to eliminate the roots!
Therefore, Ice River Valley must disappear today!
Thus, the profound frost soul reappeared in Xiao Yi's palm... A blue light streaked across Ice River Valley, and Ice River Valley, one of the Three Valleys, was completely erased from the Central Continent today!
