Chapter 302: Glacial Era

Chapter 302: Glacial Era

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

Who can ever suppress her? One could see from her current performance that she had virtually transcended this world and was definitely a person of extremely high position during the ancient era. Just what was her identity from thousands of years ago?

Mount Longhu, the ancestral court of Taoism. There were too many secrets here—some people claimed this place was adjoined to the heavenly court and that one could achieve ascension here.

There were also others who say that it was a legendary city where one could find gods and even living ancient evolved beings.

After Mount Longhu was split open, the weapon emerged, enshrouded in white mist and carrying an energy that could cause all living beings to tremble. Several mushroom clouds flowed out from within and rushed towards the small Taoist temple.

Chu Feng and the other experts all shivered inwardly. What kind of great power was this?

They clearly knew how powerful those mushroom clouds were. These things could completely decimate a whole area and deprive it of all life. It was even more terrifying than a nuclear weapon.

Now, the weapon was releasing so many of these mushroom clouds one after another. This was simply too terrifying.

How could a cold weapon produce so many mushroom clouds? Just how many nuclear explosions was this attack equal to? If all of them exploded, it would likely destroy the present world.

The crowd had never felt so small and insignificant like this before—this weapon was capable of destroying the world.

Was this a method of evolved beings? A cold weapon, in their hands, would be able to "grow" using ineffable methods and actually reach such a level?

The lady appeared otherworldly and transcendent as her sleeves danced amidst the mushroom clouds. With swooshing sounds, her lotus-like arms stretched out. Those spotlessly white and lustrous hands simply pointed forward, causing numerous golden lotuses to take root in and blot out the sky.

The whole of Mount Longhu thus reverberated with a faintly discernible sound. It sometimes seemed as if a demon was reciting scriptures, while at others it seemed as if one's ancestors were in prayers—the sounds crossed through antiquity and arrived unhindered amidst the red dust of the current era.

It was commonly said that Buddha would deliver all living creatures from suffering but, at the moment, everyone felt that this peerlessly graceful lady was even more capable of purifying this world and converting everyone.

Golden lotuses bloomed midair as she pointed her finger and later formed three thousand golden characters. Dazzling ancient symbols, seemingly refined from metal, were formed one after another and encompassed Mount Longhu which was on the verge of falling apart.

The sounds of prayers and scriptures became increasingly divine as the symbols contracted. It was about to restrain that weapon.

The countless golden mushroom clouds shrunk and became almost ethereal, failing to explode as the lady raised her lotus-like hands. An exquisite and white finger pressed lightly onto the ancient weapon of Mount Longhu.

All things contrived were like dreams or illusions, as dewdrop or lightning and they should be regarded as such. [1]

At this moment, everyone felt things to be somewhat unreal.

"Run!"

Yellow Ox shouted. Even he was scared. No one knew what origins this woman possessed or how powerful she was. They only felt that she was absolutely unfathomable and that they needed to run as quickly as possible.

In truth, everyone had only glanced back during the process of running away. Now, no one dared to halt their steps at all as their rushed off in every direction.

No one knew the outcome of that battle as all of them fled.

Chu Feng drew Yellow Ox and the others into the Pristine Jade Bottle and ran three thousand kilometers in one go. He only stopped after reaching Jiangxi.

Moments later some other experts with six severed shackles caught up to them one after another.

"Many thanks to Brother Chu Feng!" The Mastiff King cupped his fist. He had transformed into a heroic-looking middle-aged man with long thick hair and spirited eyes.

But after taking a closer look, he was already spiritually exhausted. He had narrowly escaped death during this Mount Longhu excursion. It was simply too close.

Without Chu Feng, he would have surely died there.

"Mastiff King, you needn't be so polite. I'm indebted to your care in the past. This is the least I could do." Chu Feng laughed.

"I'm grateful beyond words." The giant golden roc landed and nodded towards Chu Feng.

He was somewhat regretful. He had been looking down on the world during this period, moving unhindered from east to west. He had never expected that he would almost die after being ambushed by the marine race.

It was fortunate that Chu Feng came to the rescue. Otherwise, things were really looking dire. This young man before him used to be far from his level some time ago—his rise was simply too rapid.

The group went to thank Chu Feng one after another. Their situation on Mount Longhu was simply too dangerous.

The Hollow Jade Temple Master wore a complex expression. He was being carried on the Eight Visions Temple Master's back—his heart was too badly wounded and he couldn't recover immediately even after eating the demon refinement fruit.

He was the most badly wounded among the group and had almost died.

He patted Chu Feng's shoulder and sighed. "I suddenly feel old after seeing you even though I'm in the prime of my life."

At this moment, he was somewhat melancholic and depressed. The incident on Mount Longhu was quite the blow to him.

The three great temple masters were known to be peerless experts. A couple of them were sufficient to be placed among the top ten great experts of the eastern continent. Even so, they were almost annihilated.

Chu Feng consoled him, "Temple Master was only a bit careless this time and the enemy used great killing weapons to set up an ambush. Who among those standing here isn't a tyrant in their own territory? Everyone here is capable of killing many marine race experts in a direct confrontation."

Those who had survived were all top-level experts while many other unknown experts had died within the mysterious space.

The world was large and famed mountains were plenty—there were many lifeforms who quietly rose to power. Some of those experts with six severed shackles died on Mount Longhu. This was a great setback for the East.

"Who was it that leaked the news and defected to the marine race?" Chu Feng brought up old matters. This was also something everyone wanted to know.

Unfortunately, they couldn't come to a conclusion even after careful pondering. There were, however, a few suspects but all of them had died in the space.

"Everyone, farewell. Let's meet again in the future!" The two masters of the Mount Shu Sword Palace took their leave. Before that, they made an appointment with Chu Feng to have him come to Mount Shu and compare swordplay when he's free.

The Mountain Tortoise of Mount Kongtong apologized to everyone. The golden eight trigrams upon his shell afforded him astonishing divine instincts, but this time, he had failed quite badly.

The old tortoise admitted that he had sensed something but was too careless.

The various hegemons went their separate ways. Their emotions were complex—their excursion to the Taoist capital had given them a profound lesson!

Now, they wanted to return to rest and calmly reflect on matters. This incident had affected them too greatly.

Would the marine race launch a large-scale attack on the continent? After all, they failed at the last minute and lost quite badly.

Will that mysterious lady walk out of Mount Longhu? This problem caused people to palpitate even more.She could easily look down on the world—who could stop her?

Everyone felt quite worried after thinking about this matter.

With that, the group dispersed.

News about the battle on Mount Longhu disseminated immediately and shook the whole world.

Both the East and West were sent into a great uproar.

Marine and continental experts fought a great battle within the mysterious space, wherein many experts were ambushed, causing blood to stain the Taoist grounds. The Sea God Tiger was unrivaled as he hunted down all the heroes. Then Chu Feng appeared…"

Each and every piece of news was of an explosive nature and caused everyone to gasp.

"Our boss has risen to power in this battle and established his position." The clairvoyant Ouyang Qing sighed in admiration.

Not only him but also Ye Qingrou and the others were gasping in astonishment. Everyone was discussing him.

One battle to exceed gods!

Chu Feng had arrived at the critical juncture during this great battle on Mount Longhu. He slaughtered the marine race experts, killed the Octopus King and chased down the Sea God Tiger in order to kill him. Chu Feng's martial accomplishments were simply too brilliant.

"This man can be considered to have charged towards the sky after this one battle. He can look down on the four directions now." Xiong Kun, Hu Sheng, and the other beast race youths all sighed in admiration.

Chu Feng was simply too strong and extraordinary. He killed enemies in all directions in a single battle and saved the cornered experts.

Previously, many people weren't convinced when someone said Chu Feng could be ranked among the top-ten experts. They thought he didn't quite live up to the name and was, in fact, just a counterfeit.

But now, no one dared to doubt the accomplishments he obtained in actual battle.

So much that some people even believed he could be ranked alongside people like the old llama or perhaps he could fight for the position of the number one expert on the continent.

Many were confident that the position of the strongest eastern continental expert would belong to him as soon as he severed his sixth shackle.

Shuntian. Xia Qianyu was talking with Jiang Luoshen on the phone. "Luoshen, how come Chu Feng has become so awesome? It's almost as if he's peerless and unhindered. Is that true?"

"Why do you ask? Are you regretting that you refused him at the blind date?"

"What blind date? Everything was just a big misunderstanding. Oh right, I heard that he attacked the Archaic Alliance and destroyed the Extraterrestrial Research Institute but left Bodhi Biogenetics intact because of you. I heard you spent the night with him. So, tell me, how was it?"

"Xia Qianyu, I'll get you for that if you keep on spouting nonsense!"

…

"Sister, this brother-in-law is too famous and that's not a good thing. He's an unfaithful person," White Tiger mumbled.

Lu Shiyun rolled her eyes and proceeded to ignore him.

All the major corporations had become well-behaved. Even those beast races with enmity towards Chu Feng had quieted down. The battle at Mount Longhu had shocked the world and caused agents from every power to tremble.

No one had plans to do anything stupid at this point. All related parties were afraid that Chu Feng would come knocking on their doors.

"It's snowing. Not only the famed mountains, it's snowing everywhere."

Chu Feng looked towards the sky and saw a fuzzy grey. The world was engulfed in mist and the sun had been blotted out. Snowflakes began to shower down—they weren't very large at first, but as time went by, the land became covered in white.

Exact news arrived later on. The marine race retreated in haste because they had received news from the ocean that a sea god fruit had matured—a dragonification fruit had started to release its fragrance, and a mysterious brilliance had appeared within the eye of the ocean…

At the same time, heavy snow began to fall on the ocean and had almost sealed the ocean surface in ice.

The sea was their home, hence all the marine race experts dropped everything they were doing to rush back as soon as they heard the news. They were anxious and even terrified inside.

The world was changing. This time, the changes in the ocean were more intense than on the continent. Various odd phenomenon were appearing.

One day later, a world-shaking news was heard—the ocean had become sealed in ice. All the marine regions had become a patch of white under the raging blizzard.

Facing such vicious weather, the marine race had all but returned to the depths of the ocean. They had completely disappeared and cut off all contact with the outside world.

At the same time, both the East and the West began to see snowfall. It became bigger and bigger until the entire land was engulfed in a silvery cloak.

The people were intrigued by the new condition at first. This was especially true for the southerners who had never seen such heavy snow all year round. They were all astonished.

After one night, everyone's feeling of novelty vanished as the great snow blocked the roads and covered the world in white. The world was thrown into a terrifying atmosphere.

People were panicking. There was no longer a single place in the world with clear weather. It was a world of ice and snow everywhere.

"This isn't scientific. How can it snow worldwide!?" someone cried out in shock.

But this world had long since distanced itself from science. Since the great upheaval, many a logic had been overturned and various signs point towards the fact that this world was no longer something they could understand.

"A great annihilation must proceed an era of great prosperity. Has this day unexpectedly arrived!?"

The ice and snow, reaching the height of a man, had fully covered the mountains and rivers. Everyone everywhere was panicking.

Many people had already been frozen to death in the recent days.

Now, the marine race could no longer come to the continent as the ice and snow were highly unsuitable for them. The whole world was plunged into despair.

Tens of thousands of miles of the ocean were sealed in ice.

On the continent, the cold bit into the bones as the blizzards whistled.

Everything happened too suddenly!

"A glacial era has arrived!" someone lamented.

"This could be the most serious disaster in history!" Some biologists sighed.

By the time the snow covered the roofs of their houses, people had completely lost hope. It was unknown just how many people had died.
