Chapter 183 – A Thousand Miles of Snow, Azure Ocean

TL: Sponsored chapter (2/3). Last chapter for today. Thanks for your support Tony!

Xu Disheng looked off into the distance, where he saw a woman standing on a craggy rock hundreds of meters away. Inside, he knew. If he defeated her, he could enter the top 20 of the Sea of Qi division of the Eight Mountains Grand Tournament!

He would also have the qualifications to contend for the unrivaled title of Sacred Son!

And at this moment, all of the disciples watching, in the sea of clouds, in the Shangqing Mountain Range, in the Mingxin Mountain Range, in all eight Mountain Ranges, laid eyes on the woman’s appearance. Their expressions changed, and cried out in surprise.

“Qin Muxue!”

“In the last battle before reaching the top 20, Xu Disheng ended up getting paired with Qin Muxue!”

“This environment is somewhat unfavorable for both of them!”

“Exactly, Xu Disheng cultivates a water element cultivation method and Qin Muxue is proficient in ice and snow-type spells. This scenario...”

“It’s such a regret that these two new unparalleled geniuses, who are evaluated as ‘extremely strong’ and ‘relatively strong’, had to run into each other so early.”

“The two of them definitely have combat strengths ranking in the top 10. But now, one of them has to be eliminated here. It’s really such a pity.”

... ...

“I bet on Xu Disheng!”

“All in!”

“I bet 650 spirit stones on Senior Martial Brother Xu!”

“300 spirit stones on Qin Muxue!”

The activity at the betting tables in each of the large marketplaces reached an unprecedented fervor. Although Qin Muxue was also someone who had recently risen to the ranks of those considered as unparalleled geniuses, she was still somewhat inferior compared to Xu Disheng, who had the accolade of defeating someone like Yu Yangyao.

Roughly 70% of the disciples were betting on Xu Disheng’s victory, slamming their spirit stones down on the betting table with bright red eyes.

... ...

“I am Qin Muxue of Zhuri Mountain. May I ask who Senior Martial Brother is?” Qin Muxue said from far afar, across the lava lake. Her hair was white as snow, and she was extremely beautiful, wearing a white long dress.

“Mingxin Mountain, Xu Disheng.”

Xu Disheng’s gaze was calm. He took out two precious True Qi Pills and tossed them down. The medicinal power flowed, and in a few breaths of time, the phantom image of the ancient bell, representing his profound qi, was restored to roughly 90% of its maximum capacity.

Qin Muxue nodded slightly, sensing the blazing aura of the rivers of magma below, but she didn’t seem to mind it that much.

It was true that this environment would restrain her ice and snow-type spells to some degree, but it was only by a bit.

Forgoing any further words, a ribbon appeared in her palm, emitting white radiance as pure as snow. She sent it aflutter, causing countless snowflakes to appear in the air. They fell from afar, spinning towards Xu Disheng.

This ribbon was the Psychic Magic Treasure that had played such an instrumental role in her last five battles, the Snow Spirit Silk Band!

The snowflakes appeared ordinary, but they were extremely quick. In just a few breaths of time, they completely surrounded Xu Disheng, whirling rapidly.

A pale white profound light appeared around the White Heron Robe, blocking the snowflakes completely. Xu Disheng stepped on the Yin Yang Diagram and flew up into the sky. Dark vortexes spun in his eyes as he said, “Swallowing Soul, second form. Ghost Devourer.”

Unexpectedly, he cast the advanced spell of the Swallowing Soul mantra right off the bat!

The soul-suppressing Evil Spirit skull shot out of his sea of consciousness with a deeply intimidating roar, sending up a sudden gale of evil black wind that swept right towards Qin Muxue!

“Falling Snow!”

Just now, Qin Muxue was clearly just probing. She didn’t think that Xu Disheng would unleash such a powerful secret technique right away!

When she felt the life-threatening aura radiating from the Evil Spirit skull, her expression changed. She hastily activated the Snow Spirit Silk Band, forming a sturdy shield from ice and rime in front of her.

The soul-suppressing Evil Spirit skull picked up speed, growing faster and faster until it transformed into a resplendent black beam. The next moment, it appeared right in front of the wall of ice!

After the briefest moment’s pause, it penetrated right through the shield!

Utter shock rocked Qin Muxue’s heart, her expression changing dramatically. Suddenly appearing as if she recalled something, she promptly took out a small parasol and poured as much energy into it as she could, using it to shield herself!

Surely enough, the soul-suppressing Evil Spirit skull didn’t pierce right through this time. It was blocked by the small parasol, and the two forces reached a momentary deadlock.

She let out a sigh of relief, rejoicing that she had prepared a mind-protecting Magic Treasure in advance. It was not only useful in protecting against ghost-type attacks, but it could also directly defend the soul. If it weren’t for this item, this Evil Spirit skull would truly be difficult to block.

However, Ghost Devourer was an advanced spell from the Swallowing Soul Mantra. How could it be simple?

Although the small parasol managed to block it, the skull opened its sinister maw, then warped and twisted off into 10 smaller Evil Spirit skulls. Several of the skulls bypassed the defenses of the small parasol, biting ruthlessly towards Qin Muxue!

Weng.

A snow white profound light appeared above Qin Muxue’s head and sent the Evil Spirit skulls nearest her flying. They transformed into black mist and disappeared shortly after.

It was a Psychic Magic Treasure!

“Just what kind of origins does Qin Muxue have?”

“Sure, she suddenly revealed those unknown ice and snow spells and that Psychic Magic Treasure earlier, the Snow Spirit Silk Band. But now, she revealed yet another Psychic Magic Treasure! Did she somehow receive some complete inheritance or something?”

One disciple said with a cold snort, “Qin Muxue definitely received some kind of complete inheritance, but she’s just some upstart bumpkin. Isn’t she still being pressured by Senior Martial Brother Xu in this fight?”

“It isn’t because Qin Muxue is too weak. It’s just that Senior Martial Brother Xu’s secret ghost Dao technique is too bizarre and difficult to block. Even a Psychic Magic Treasure can’t defend against it very well.”

“Exactly, Senior Martial Brother Xu’s secret ghost Dao technique is too mysterious. He hasn’t even used that crazy blood-colored light that he used against Kou Zun yet!”

Countless spectating disciples began to talk spiritedly amongst themselves, but they weren’t watching Qin Muxue closely, thinking that she was just some ordinary disciple that happened to run into some good fortune.

Qin Muxue’s face was somewhat pale. She gritted her teeth and said, “Senior Martial Brother Xu, how about you do away with that rare secret ghost Dao technique of yours and have a real fight with me?!”

If they were to compete in spells alone, the complete inheritance that she had received consisted of two Psychic Magic Treasures and over ten fully intact spells. Against those also at the Sea of Qi stage, she had the confidence to beat any opponent.

But this secret ghost Dao technique was too strange and mysterious. Even the soul-protecting Magic Treasure that she had made specially prepared wasn’t able to fully block it, leaving her frustrated to the extreme.

The youth was standing high up in the sky on the Yin Yang Diagram. When he heard what she said, he let out a scoff. The black vortexes in his eyes spun with an even greater radiance, and as he spoke, his cold voice was audible over the rumble of the bubbling magma. “Extinguishing Soul, Blood Light.”

The soul-suppressing Evil Spirit skulls were still deadlocked with the small parasol and the snow white profound light, neither able to take an inch off the other. The moment Xu Disheng’s words reached her ears, innumerable black winds began to sweep around the skulls!

A bloodthirsty aura of destruction erupted from the Evil Spirit skulls with a loud bang!

The tightly closed eyes of the skull slowly opened, the blood-colored light piercing through the ashy gray atmosphere. Black gales swirled into a tempest, the howling of the winds resonating in the mind!

It was the first form of Soul Song’s Extinguishing Soul Mantra, Soul-Extinguishing Blood Light!

The hairs on Qin Muxue’s body stood on end, and her scalp tingled eerily. Without another thought, she immediately tossed out the white profound light above her head to block it, then made an explosive retreat!

The blood-colored light shone on the small parasol. In only three breaths of time, the small parasol turned into black gas and disappeared, sentenced to oblivion.

The snow white profound light that Qin Muxue had thrown out revealed its true appearance at that moment. It was a brocade scarf with several snowflakes embroidered on it. It was also completely illuminated by the Soul-Extinguishing Blood Light, and with a sizzling zizi sound, its spirituality started to slowly be wiped away, albeit at a snail’s pace.

In the end, it was a Psychic Magic Treasure, so even though Qin Muxue had no way of demonstrating its full might, it could still passively defend to some degree upon receiving damage.

The Soul-Extinguishing Blood Light and the Embroidered Snowflake Scarf reached a temporary impasse. Although several streams of blood-colored light managed to shine through, Qin Muxue had already made a swift retreat, so it wasn’t able to reach her.

“Qin Muxue doesn’t stand a chance!”

“Last time when Xu Disheng was facing off against Kou Zun, a genius from the Mingxin Mountain, this blood-colored light caused Kou Zun to lose his entire arm when it shone on him!”

“Even a Psychic Magic Treasure isn’t able to completely block it! Senior Martial Brother’s secret ghost Dao technique is too oppressive!”

“Qin Muxue had been relying on her complete set of ice and snow-type spells and their synergy with her Psychic Magic Treasure to get to this point, but since the start of the fight, she hasn’t had the chance to show her real fighting strength. Senior Martial Brother Xu gained the initiative by striking first and now she’s in a bad spot!”

“She’s just an ordinary disciple. Even if she managed to obtain an inheritance, her cultivation base is too lacking. Now that her embroidered scarf Magic Treasure is stuck with blocking the blood-colored light, what is she going to use to block Senior Martial Brother Xu’s attack?”

The people who betted on Xu Disheng were all pleasantly surprised. Many of them grew excited and started cheering loudly.

One disciple shouted, his voice trembling with excitement. “Senior Martial Brother Xu is unstoppable! I’ve been betting on him the entire day and already made hundreds of spirit stones!”

Xu Disheng looked at Qin Muxue, who had already retreated far away, but he didn’t give her any time to breathe. The Jade Water Array Flag and the White Lotus Array Flag appeared simultaneously. With a gust of air, they each materialized an array in the surroundings, ruthlessly suppressing the area within!

Qin Muxue had never seen such a bizarre ghost Dao technique like Xu Disheng’s. She felt extremely frustrated inside. Seeing the array field appearing around her and the suppressing force rapidly approaching, she clenched her teeth and channeled power into the Snow Spirit Silk Band. It glowed with intense white light as if it was preparing to unleash an extremely powerful ice element spell.

“A Thousand Miles of Snow!”

Snowflakes fell from the sky, condensing into a colossal wall made from snow. It not only blocked the suppression from the two manifested array domains, but also continued to grow larger, unleashing a bone-chilling cold that unfurled towards Xu Disheng!

“Qin Muxue is... trying to use offense as her defense?”

“Yes, she must know very well that she has no way of blocking Senior Martial Brother Xu’s secret ghost Dao technique, so her only hope for victory is to try an all-out attack.”

“Senior Martial Brother Xu’s two array flags are top-grade Magic Treasures, but Qin Muxue’s Snow Spirit Silk Band is a Psychic Magic Treasure. It makes sense that his attack would be blocked.”

Qin Muxue suddenly burst out with power, causing the disciples who had bet on her to see a glimmer of hope. Their eyes were glued to the screen of light, afraid to miss even a single second.

“Soul Devouring White Lotus, Corroding Jade Water.”

Xu Disheng took another two True Qi Pills, then activated the inherent spells in each of the top-grade Magic Treasures at full force.

The wall of snow swept away the Corroding Jade Water that filled the materialized array domain, and even sent the Jade Water Array Flag flying, causing the array domain to disappear.

The Soul Devouring White Lotus was a spell that attacked the soul. It passed right through the wall of snow, bypassing it entirely.

Qin Muxue’s expression turned unsightly, cursing under her breath. “Yet another spell that targets the soul! This Xu guy is handsome, but the cultivation methods he uses are so vile!”

In the time she took to think, dozens of Soul Devouring White Lotuses had already reached her.

With a flush of exasperated resentment, Qin Muxue activated the Snow Spirit Silk Band in her hand once more. A frigid qi filled the air, unexpectedly freezing the Soul Devouring White Lotuses!

The white lotuses were incorporeal, but they were still affected and slowed significantly by the frigid, bone-piercing cold qi emanating from the Psychic Magic Treasure.

Qin Muxue waved the Snow Spirit Silk Band. “Ice and snow, ensnare.”

The Psychic Magic Treasure emitted a radiant white glow, completely turning the dozens of Soul Devouring White Lotuses into ice. With a light flick of her arm, the icy lotus flowers splintered and shattered into mere powder.

She managed to meet offense with offense, which allowed her to deal with the Soul Devouring White Lotuses. But before she could even let out a sigh of relief, she looked up and realized that the enormous wall of snow she had gone all-out to summon had disappeared without a trace. Her eyes went wide like they were about to pop out of their sockets, and her heart filled with despair.

“Controlling Waves.”

The youth’s cool voice reached Qin Muxue’s ears. She heard the rumbling and flowing of water and looked down.

As it turned out, Xu Disheng had moved the power of heaven and earth to convert the entirety of the Thousand Miles of Snow spell that she used to summon the wall of snow into water elemental energy.

Floating in the air above the flowing magma were countless towering waves, rushing towards her!
