Chapter 1716: A trap

Chapter 1721: A trap

Ice and frost surged forth.

The Fox Empress, Su Qingyan, had once said it herself: Su Liu’er’s talent for the Breath of Ice exceeded even hers.

Earlier, on the Central Divine Mountain, in Heavenly God City’s Battle of Geniuses, Su Liuer’s Breath of Ice was just starting to show its edge. Even so, even the demons’ Holy Maiden struggled to defend herself against it.

All this time had gone by, and her proficiency in the Breath of Ice had risen like a boat at high tide.

Fox Empress Su Qingyan had deliberately trained her, too. Su Liu’er’s proficiency had already reached shocking heights. 

Even without any airflow, when Su Liu’er unleashed her divine power, an icy windstorm appeared.

The void of outer space froze, covered in ice with the blizzard at its center. Su Liu’er was like the queen of ice and snow. 

“Is she seriously trying to freeze this entire stretch of outer space?” Off in the distance, Yang Jian watched Su Liu’er and gulped. This patch of space was far, far, too vast, and the ambient elemental essences were extremely sparse.

Encasing this whole stretch in ice, no matter how he looked out it, was an insane idea.

A blizzard raged rampant.

In the blink of an eye, the pitch-black void transformed into a world of ice and snow. Although it was still pitch-black, within the darkness was a stretch of pristine, hard ice.

Ice had a molding effect.

When the ice revealed something’s shape, there was nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. 

 Yang Jian and the Great Sage, who’d wanted to leave earlier, nevertheless remained behind. If Su Liu’er didn’t leave, they naturally wouldn’t just abandon her here. They decided to just go ahead and activate their celestial eye and Fiery Eye of Truth as Su Liu’er used her ice to search for clues the Ender had left behind. 

Suddenly, Yang Jian turned to his left and dashed several hundred meters ahead. “Monkey, get over here.” 

The Great Sage hurried over, only to see a huge layer of ice condensing before Yang Jian. They leaped up, then looked down from above. In the ice, they saw….

“Footprints!” The Great Sage’s eyes lit up. What could leave footprints so large save for that giant beast?  

“Right, they’re footprints. And that’s not all. Look around: there’s traces of congealed blood.” Yang Jian nodded along. However, shortly after realizing what the footprints were, they couldn’t help but look at each other. 

In their eyes, it was clear they were shaken.

 Shaken because of Su Liu’er!

Chaos!

This patch of pace was nothing but chaos. In this type of empty space, even if you left traces behind, the turbulent chaos would quickly eliminate them.

Yet Su Liu’er had single handedly used the Breath of Ice to freeze the turbulent chaos solid.

As well as the primordial giant beast’s drops of blood….

What kind of strength did that take!?

“What are you just standing there for! Hurry up and go after it!” Su Liu’er suddenly appeared beside them. An ethereal whisper drifted past their ears, and by the time they realized what was happening, Su Liu’er was already several hundred meters ahead of them.

With the Breath of Ice unleashed, this entire patch of frozen space was under her control, and she sensed everything that happened inside.

The instant the beast’s footprints appeared, she could tell which direction it headed in, and she naturally didn’t need to double-check. She just chased right after it.

Furthermore, she was quite clear that the footprints were new, as were the scattered drops of blood.

From this, she could deduce that the beast hadn’t gone far at all. In fact, it might even be in the surrounding area, except that it was using its innate talent to hide within the chaotic void, preventing the Great Sage’s Fiery Eyes of Truth from sensing its existence. 

Seeing Su Liu’er dash off, the Great Sage and Yang Jian glanced at each other, then raced after her.

“The footprints are getting newer and newer. Same for the drops of blood.” 

Since the era-destroying giant beast was hidden within the chaos, the task of tracking it was no longer the Great Sage’s. Su Liu’er, who could freeze its trail, took over for him.

They followed the direction of the footprints, stopping every few thousand meters. Su Liu’er would then use the Breath of Ice to figure out the beast’s direction before they continued chasing it. 

Despite starting and stopping, starting and stopping, the beast’s prints and blood were getting fresher and fresher. From this, it was clear that the beast’s wounds were severe, and that it couldn’t hold on much longer.

A clue was right ahead. The trio’s movements sped up, however…

They traveled tens of thousands of meters, but Yang Jian’s frown never relaxed.

“The footprints are getting newer and newer! Chase!” After unleashing the Breath of Ice and finding new footprints, Su Liu’er withdrew the power back into her body.

She was using the Breath of Ice at such a frequency, but in outer space, she couldn’t recover her divine power. Her face was pallid, but even so, she kept on condensing footprints and charging streat ahead. 

This time, however, Yang Jian pulled her back. “Take some medicine to recover your divine power! Monkey, you too!”

“We can do that after we catch that Ender. It’s already almost at the end of its rope. Even if, by the time we find it, I can’t fight alongside you, you two should be enough to take it down.” Su Liu’er frowned. “Don’t waste our time. It hasn’t been easy getting this close, and if you hold us up, it might get away.” 

With that, she shook him away and dashed off.

The Great Sage, however, heeded Yang Jian’s advice and tossed pills into his mouth. As they chased after Su Liu’er, the Great Sage asked, “Ol’ Yang, did you find a problem?”

“Monkey, don’t you sense that something’s strange? Haven’t you noticed that someone’s toying with us?” Yang Jian said solemnly.

“Why do you say that?” The Great Sage didn’t understand.

“Right from the start, we sensed that the era-destroying giant beast was running out of steam, and that there was no way it could run much further. But look at it now! We’ve chased it for almost a hundred kilometers, but we still haven’t caught it. It looks like a candle flickering in the wind, but we’re still stuck eating its dust,” said Yang Jian.

“What’s so strange about that? Beasts have always had a powerful thirst for survival!”  

“That’s true, but…” Yang Jian was just about to speak when Su Liu’er came to a stop and unleashed the Breath of Ice, condensing yet another footprint.

Using the Breath of Ice at such high frequency without recovering in between was hard to bear, and in the end, she couldn’t help but cough up a mouthful of heart’s blood.

Even so, she disregarded her condition and called upon all the Breath of Ice within her like mad.

Until….

Footprints! 

Lots and lots of footprints!

This time, when Su Liu’er unleashed the Breath of Ice, Yang Jian and the Great Sage didn’t just see one beast’s footprints; they saw a whole bunch of them.

And they stood right in the center of the footprints, completely surrounded.

“Crap!” Yang Jian was the first to shout. His eyes widened, and he charged straight towards Su Liu’er, grabbed her by the arm, and tried to flee.

However, before they could get far, at least a hundred era-destroying giant beasts appeared before them and surrounded them. Furthermore, behind them was a beast several times bigger, a king beast. Worse yet, a smiling youth sat upon the beast king’s back. 

“Welcome,” he said, “To the land of the Outsider Gods!”
