The Ice Spirit Clan was indeed much weaker than it had been in ancient times, but it was still a supreme force in the Great Thousand World.
What was a supreme force?
A force that had a Heavenly Sovereign as its leader was a supreme force.
The Ice Spirit Clan was a supreme force. Although it was a supreme force, compared to the real supreme forces, a supreme force like the Ice Spirit Clan was at the bottom.
...
Hun Xiu's words had undoubtedly poked at the Ice Spirit Ancestor's sore spot. The Ice Spirit Ancestor had worked hard all his life to bring the Ice Spirit Clan back to the peak of ancient times. Unfortunately, his talent was limited, and he was already in his twilight years when he cultivated to become a Heavenly Sovereign.
It was undoubtedly difficult for him to take another step forward.
Of course.
Being able to cultivate to become a Heavenly Sovereign meant that the Ice Spirit Ancestor was very talented. After all, some people were stuck at the level of Earthly Sovereign for their entire lives, unable to reach the threshold of Heavenly Sovereign.
It was already very impressive that the Ice Spirit Ancestor could become a Heavenly Sovereign in his twilight years.
Of course.
Compared to the West Heaven War Emperor and Qing Yanjing, who were favored by the heavens, the Ice Spirit Ancestor was much more ordinary.
...
A chill rose around the Ice Spirit Ancestor, causing the temperature in the main hall to drop. A gust of cold air with a sharp force rushed toward Hun Xiu.
Endless flames burned in his eyes as he glared at Hun Xiu.
Hun Xiu's words had completely crossed the Ice Spirit Ancestor's bottom line.
Even though the Ice Spirit Ancestor knew that Hun Xiu would soon become a dead man and comforted himself not to lower himself to the level of a dying man, he was still angry and frustrated.
Hun Xiu waved his hand, and the cold air that was approaching him dissipated.
Hun Xiu said, "Don't be so angry. Your Ice Spirit Ancestor is the stabilizing force of the Ice Spirit Clan. If you die from anger, the Ice Spirit Clan will be completely finished."
"After all, the weak are prey to the strong in this world. Without a Heavenly Sovereign, the force will soon be devoured by other forces.
You have to take care of yourself, Ice Spirit Ancestor. "
"You …"
The Ice Spirit Ancestor was so angry that his face turned red. He could already tell that the other party was trying to stir up trouble.
He clenched his fists.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Are you courting death?"
Even though the Ice Spirit Ancestor knew that it was not the right time to attack, he could not bear it any longer. The other party had gone too far.
Hun Xiu smiled faintly and said, "Ice Spirit Ancestor, you're getting old. You shouldn't be bragging like young people. It won't do you any good to be so arrogant."
"You've gone too far. You're courting death."
Unable to suppress the anger in his heart, the Ice Spirit Ancestor struck out with his palm.
The cold air was oppressive, and spiritual power swept out.
Wherever the palm of spiritual power passed, the air began to freeze.
"Just this?"
"An old man will always be an old man."
Hun Xiu smiled faintly. His words were filled with disdain and contempt for this palm strike.
He raised his arm.
He stretched out a finger.
With a simple point of his finger.
Without any movement, this finger directly caused the palm of Spiritual Energy that was heading towards him to dissipate and disappear without a trace.
"Good lad."
At this moment, the Ice Spirit Ancestor's pupils suddenly shrank. Although the palm strike that he had thrown out in anger was not his strongest attack, it was not weak either. The power that it contained was so strong that it was terrifying.
The other party had only raised a finger and caused the spiritual power of the palm to dissipate.
This guy from the Lower Planes was indeed very strong. It was no wonder that the West Heaven War Emperor had joined forces with the other Heavenly Sovereigns to deal with him. It was not without reason.
After witnessing the power of Hun Xiu's finger, the Ice Spirit Ancestor understood that this was indeed not a good time to deal with Hun Xiu. The anger in his heart gradually subsided.
He already had the intention to retreat.
The Ice Spirit Ancestor wanted to retreat?
Was it possible?
Since he had already attacked Hun Xiu, how could he escape unscathed?
How could there be such a good thing in the world?
...
Hun Xiu raised his middle finger at the Ice Spirit Ancestor and shook it. "I told you, old man. Don't brag so arrogantly. You don't have the strength to do so."
"Since I've taken one of your attacks, it's only right for me to return the favor.
It's impolite not to reciprocate. Take this move as well! "
As he spoke.
Hun Xiu did not give the Ice Spirit Ancestor and the West Heaven War Emperor a chance to speak. He threw out a palm strike.
It was a light palm strike.
It did not seem to use much spiritual power.
However, the spiritual power contained in it was extremely terrifying.
The target of this palm strike was the Ice Spirit Ancestor. Looking at the majestic spiritual power that was looming toward him, the Ice Spirit Ancestor's pupils suddenly shrank. He did not hesitate.
"Ice Shield!"
He shouted.
Terrifying spiritual power burst out from his body. Ice spiritual power gradually gathered in front of him to form a shield.
Boom!
It was only for a moment.
The shield shattered.
The majestic spiritual power landed on the Ice Spirit Ancestor's body.
Boom!
"Pfft..."
The Ice Spirit Ancestor's body flew backward and hit the wall hard. He fell to the ground, looking quite embarrassed. He groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Ice Spirit Ancestor wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked up at Hun Xiu. There was a hint of fear in his eyes.
Hun Xiu withdrew his palm and met the Ice Spirit Ancestor's gaze. He shook his head and said, "Old man, you can't do it!"
After saying this, Hun Xiu did not care about the Ice Spirit Ancestor's expression. He turned to the West Heaven War Emperor and said, "War Emperor, your helper doesn't seem to be able to do it!"
"This..."
Everything happened too fast.
It was so fast that the West Heaven War Emperor could not react in time to stop it.
The West Heaven War Emperor said, "Xiu Emperor, what do you mean?"
Hun Xiu did not want to continue hiding. Things had already come to this point. There was no point in continuing to pretend.
Hun Xiu asked, "What do you mean?"
"War Emperor, shouldn't I be the one asking you this?"
"Is this Patriarch your so-called cultivation resource?"
"Things have already come to this. Battle Emperor, why aren't you showing your cards? Who are you looking down on?"
"Humph..."
When the West Heaven War Emperor heard Hun Xiu's words, he understood that Hun Xiu had seen through his intentions. In that case, there was no point in continuing to play dumb.
Shortly after, he snorted coldly and laid his cards on the table. "Xiu Emperor, since you can see through it, then I have nothing to hide."
"I'm going to show my cards. I'm not going to pretend anymore. Hun Xiu, there is no way you can get all the cultivation resources of the Western Kingdom War Temple."
"I'm going to tell you the truth. You won't be able to leave today."
"With just you, the West Heaven War Emperor, and an old man?
This doesn't seem to be enough, right? "Hun Xiu said flatly.
The West Heaven War Emperor said, "We'll know after we try."
The West Heaven War Emperor would not say that. Of course I know it's not enough. My helper has not arrived yet.
The Ice Spirit Ancestor stood up and said, "War Emperor, why are you wasting your breath on him?"
"Let's fight."
"Eternal Freezing Skill!"
The Ice Spirit Ancestor shouted. Cold Spiritual Power appeared on his hands. He pointed his hands toward the ground, and the ground instantly froze. The entire palace froze into ice at that moment. Terrifying cold air rushed toward Hun Xiu with terrifying ice.
