Lu Yin watched the Ice Emperor's performance with admiration, as he was certain that Curmudgeon Chi had not noticed anything amiss.
Lu Yin's guess was correct, as Curmudgeon Chi had not noticed anything amiss. He was certain that there were no experts left on the Royal Frost Continent, and the only Emissary was definitely dead.
After hearing Curmudgeon Chi's confirmation, Curmudgeon Chi finally moved.
Finally, Lord Hong made his move. He took a step forward and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was outside the spatial rift. Then, he took another step forward and entered the spatial rift, entering the Royal Frost Continent.
The moment Curmudgeon Chi entered the Royal Frost Continent, the entire continent shook. Flames turned into clouds that spread out and quickly melted the ice on the ground. The once white Royal Frost Continent quickly melted and even caused a flood.
The Ice Emperor looked up. "He's finally here." He then vanished.
Lu Yin looked at Curmudgeon Chi. He had faced an Emissary more than once, and he had even killed the Sixth Mainland's Imprinter, who was an Emissary. However, that had been with external items, and even with his current strength, he could not directly face an Emissary. Even dealing with a powerhouse with a power level of 400,000 was extremely difficult.
Emissaries were different from ordinary cultivators, as their battles were on a different level. It was said that they used astral sources, not star energy.
Lu Yin could not understand the difference in levels.
Curmudgeon Chi appeared and looked towards the distant Arctic City. The moment Lu Yin saw him, he sensed it. Just as he was about to look over, the Ice Emperor appeared and froze him without a word. Curmudgeon Chi froze Curmudgeon Chi, and he looked at the Ice Emperor in shock. "You're not dead?"
The Ice Emperor shouted, "Of course I'm not dead!" He then slapped at Curmudgeon Chi.
Curmudgeon Chi's eyes went wide, and flames connected the sky and the earth, shaking the entire Royal Frost Continent.
Lu Yin was roasted by the high temperature, and he kept retreating. When he looked up again, the two had already disappeared.
He looked around in confusion. Where did they go?
This was a battle between Emissaries. Master Yuan had once said that they were in the real universe, but they were fighting in another void.
In the universe, humans could only see space. Different creatures could see different colors and spaces, and some creatures could see deeper layers of space than humans, such as the Astral Beast Domain's Void Wanderers.
Lu Yin felt a chill run down his spine. If Curmudgeon Chi attacked him right now, he would not be able to resist.
With that thought in mind, he quickly put on his universal armor.
The sky suddenly split open, and a crack extended across the entire Emperor Frost Continent. Flames poured down like a waterfall, but they were frozen by the cold air. This scene was extremely spectacular, as if the earth had been flipped over.
Countless people in the Extreme Ice City were terrified. If those flames had been scattered, the entire Royal Ice Continent would have been burned.
A streak of red appeared in the sky and then disappeared.
The Ice Empress appeared soon after, standing high in the sky as she stared at the spatial crack. She slowly descended and landed not far from Lu Yin. "When will the sylvan dragons and the Ross Empire appear?"
"Soon."
"Are you sure that the various powers of the Innerverse won't attack the Royal Frost Continent because of the secret technique?"
The Ice Empress was still worried and asked Lu Yin again. Lu Yin had given her the same answer from the very beginning, and this time, he gave her the same answer. "No, they won't. If they really can't do anything, then let them go to the Starsibyl Sect. Not everyone believes in this bait, and the Blaze Realm believes in it more because of their desire and geographical location."
The Ice Empress was still worried.
Lu Yin replied, "There's no other way. Do you want the Royal Frost Continent to be frozen and billions of people to die, or do you want to take a gamble?
Are you betting that Mr. Geoffrey will wake up sooner? "
The Ice Empress was helpless. "I hope what you said is true."

…
In the Blazing Mist Flowzone, outside the spatial crack on Planet Gugu, Lord Red appeared and almost fell down. His face was pale, and there was even a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
He did not let the cultivators from the Blaze Realm see him and instead directly entered his spacecraft.
Curmudgeon Chi, Si Penghai, and the rest were shocked when they saw Lord Red. "Sect Master, what happened?"
Lord Red looked up with a fierce expression. "The Ice Empress isn't dead."
Everyone was stunned.
Curmudgeon Chi was in disbelief. "How is that possible?
I've gone in multiple times, but there's no trace of the Ice Empress. "
Lord Red gritted his teeth. "We've been tricked."
Kun Ban was terrified, as if he had been tricked, he would have been the first to suffer. He quickly said, "Sect Master, there's no reason for the Ice Empress to play dead. The Royal Frost Continent has always been hidden in a folded space, and it has no conflict of interest with the Blaze Realm. There's no reason for her to play dead to lure us out."
"That's right, Sect Master. The Royal Frost Continent has lived peacefully in our Blazing Mist Flowzone for so many years. There's no reason for her to do this now," Si Penghai said.
Lord Red looked up. "What if she cooperates with the Tinder Alliance?"
Curmudgeon Chi shook his head. "The Tinder Alliance is just a bunch of trash. They don't have the right to cooperate with the Emissaries."
Lord Red was irritated. "Let's retreat first and surround this place. I want to see what that old fogey is up to."
"Yes, Sect Master."
Suddenly, Lord Red stood up and looked to the east. His expression changed. "Sylvan Dragons."
Everyone was puzzled, and Curmudgeon Chi frowned. "The Sylvan Dragons are here."
In the distance, hundreds and thousands of Sylvan Dragons swam through space and approached Planet Gu.
Many cultivators from the Blaze Realm watched them warily.
The spaceship appeared rather small in front of the Sylvan Dragons, and at the very front was a colossal Sylvan Dragon that was several times larger than the other Sylvan Dragons. Every time the meatball at its tail swung, it tore apart the starry sky. It was the patriarch of the Sylvan Dragons, the Dragon Lord who had attained the combat power of an Emissary.
When the Dragon Lord appeared, its large eyes swept across the crowd. The cultivators from the Blaze Realm were terrified, and none of them dared to make a sound.
The Skyfire Corps was the Blaze Realm's most elite army, but they were still afraid of facing so many Sylvan Dragons.
"My old friend, Lord Red, since you're here, why don't you come out and meet us?" The Dragon Lord's voice shook the sky.
Many of the Blaze Realm's spacecraft exploded, unable to withstand the Dragon Lord's pressure.
Lord Red appeared in space, and his expression returned to normal. He calmly looked at the Dragon Lord. "This is the Blaze Realm's territory. Why have you brought so many descendants here, Dragon Lord?
Are you trying to start a war with the Blaze Realm? "
The Dragon Lord grinned. "Of course not. I heard that the Royal Frost Continent appeared, so I wanted to go in and take a look."
Lord Red raised his eyebrows. "What Royal Frost Continent?
Where did you hear that from? "
The Dragon Lord's large eyes turned to stare at Lord Red. "You still want to hide it?
The Blaze Realm can't be thinking of monopolizing the Royal Frost Continent's secret technique, right? "
Lord Red frowned. "You've been tricked. The Royal Frost Continent doesn't have any secret techniques, and that old fogey is still alive."
The Dragon Lord was shocked. "The Ice Emperor is still alive?
Didn't you say he was dead? "
"That's why you've been tricked," Lord Red said.
The Dragon Lord obviously didn't believe him. "So be it. I still have to go in and take a look. It's good to greet the Ice Emperor since the Royal Frost Continent isn't weak."
Lord Red stared at the Dragon Lord. He felt that he had been tricked, but just as Si Penghai and the others had said, what was the point of the Ice Emperor faking his death?
There was no reason for them to do so, and the Alliance didn't have the ability to do so.
(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)
Only a fool would believe that the Fire Realm would join forces and use the Royal Frost Continent to destroy the Blaze Realm and benefit the Alliance.
Since there was no reason for the Ice Emperor to fake his death, then the Alliance's information might not have been false. However, the fact that the Ice Emperor wasn't dead was still suspicious.
Lord Red was bewildered. He didn't know what the Royal Frost Continent's goal was, but did the secret technique really not exist?
He couldn't be sure.
Seeing Lord Red's attitude, the Dragon Lord was even more convinced that the Royal Frost Continent had a secret technique. "Old friend, it seems like you really want to monopolize the secret technique. Don't even think about it. It's not just the Sylvan Dragon Clan; that guy from the Ross Empire is here as well. He even brought the Ross Empire's most elite army. You can't monopolize it."
After the Dragon Lord spoke, Lord Red looked in another direction. He could feel the aura of someone at the same level as him. The Ross Empire's Luo Huang had arrived.
The leaders of the three powers of the Blazing Mist Flowzone had appeared at the same time, and they had even brought their most elite armies with them. Their goal was simple: the Royal Frost Continent.
Lord Red didn't care whether or not the information about the Royal Frost Continent was true, but he couldn't allow the Dragon Lord and Luo Huang to enter. What if it was true?
If there really was a secret technique, then he would be finished.
He would rather kill the wrong person than let them go. This was Lord Red's personality, as well as that of most of the universe's ambitious and ruthless people.
No one would give up on the Royal Frost Continent. If there really was nothing in the end, then it would be a good opportunity to unite the three powers to eradicate this disaster.
Within the spacecraft, Lord Red, Dragon Lord, and Luo Huang faced each other.
Dragon Lord had transformed into his human form. He was a burly man similar to Lord Red, but he was much more domineering.
Although Lord Red looked crude on the outside, he was actually very calculative.
As for Luo Huang, his entire body was made of metal, and even his face was made of reflective metal. No one knew what was behind that layer of metal, and his voice was very unique. It was a metallic, mechanical voice that was slightly hoarse.
"That means that the Frost Empress is still alive, and she even fought with you," Luo Huang asked. His mechanical eyes scanned Lord Red.
Lord Red was most annoyed by Luo Huang's stare, as he felt like he was being seen naked. "Someone must be plotting against the Blaze Realm and deliberately spreading false information."
"It's been so many years, but the Royal Frost Continent hasn't appeared of its own accord. Now that it's tearing through the void, there must be something wrong with it," Dragon Lord said.
Lord Red looked at Dragon Lord and Luo Huang. "How did you get this information?"
Luo Huang remained silent.
Dragon Lord sneered. "Your Blaze Realm caused such a huge commotion, so how could we not know?"
Lord Red's gaze turned sharp. "Even if they did, they wouldn't have known about the secret technique."
"It was leaked by someone in your Blaze Realm," Luo Huang said.
Lord Red was furious. "You planted a spy in my Blaze Realm?"
Dragon Lord laughed strangely. "Don't say that. It's the same for everyone."
Luo Huang looked at Dragon Lord. "We didn't plant a spy in your tribe."
"We couldn't," Lord Red said unhappily.
Dragon Lord was pleased. "We're from different races. Who's to blame?"
"Alright, the problem now lies with the Frost Empress. As long as we can figure out why he faked his death, we'll know the whole story," Luo Huang said calmly.
Lord Red slowly said, "The Frost Empress isn't easy to deal with. None of us are her match in a one-on-one fight."
"Then let's work together," Dragon Lord said.
Lord Red frowned. He didn't want to fight the Frost Empress again. Fire suppressed ice, and similarly, ice suppressed fire. Lord Red would be seriously injured if he fought the Frost Empress, but he didn't feel safe letting these two enter the Royal Frost Continent, and they definitely wouldn't feel safe leaving him alone outside.
