<h4>Chapter 168 – True Will of the Martial Path</h4>
Trantor: Aran
On the top of the ice peak, there was unexpectedly the light of a fire burning.
The power of this me was inplete contrast towards the great ominous atmosphere of the ice peak. But they appeared at the same time despite this.
“Let’s go up and see.”
Ye Qingyu’s White Horse wings activated and he soared into the air.
Little Nine tightly bit onto Ye Qingyu’s shoe, also flying upwards.
The pressure of the surrounding space was extremely terrifying. Twenty yuan qi Snow Dragon mirages coalesced madly around Ye Qingyu, his entire inner yuan activated to the extreme. The White Horse wings released its brightest radiance. After spending twenty breaths of time, they finally arrived at the top of the solitary ice peak.
He lightlynded at the top of the summit.
“This is…”
The area of the peak was around that of a field. It was glossy like a mirror, as if someone had especially grinded and polished it.
And at the very center of the ice peak tform, there was a nineyered ice crystal altar, just like a pyramid-like structure. From top to bottom, the ice was sparkling and translucent, without the tiniest hint of impurity. The colour was entirely transparent; one was able to see the other side by standing there. The height of the altar was only one meter and a bit, and at the very top of this ice altar, there was a jade stone the size of a thumb. It emitted a silver fire that was currently burning.
The white jade stone trembled slightly. It was unknown as to just what it was.
And the silver me above it moved and quivered like quicksilver. Without sound, it throbbed and pulsed, extremely peculiar.
Ye Qingyu was able to sense the sensation that he had previously felt, that familiarity, that feeling as if he was being summoned. It namely came from within this me.
The closer he neared, the clearer the sense of familiarity became.
Such a feeling was as if there was a family member with the same bloodline that was currently in this peculiar silver me, beckoning Ye Qingyu over.
Ye Qingyu neared step by step to this miniature ice crystal altar.
But for such an altar to appear here, there must be something strange.
Within Heaven Wastnd domain, an altar signified an abnormal power.
Ye Qingyu dared not be careless.
He carefully observed the surroundings of the altar, but did not discover anything special.
Finally, he came to the altar before his eyes, inspecting the crystal me and the rough jade stone.
He extended his hand. When the me and his hand was at the distance of half a meter, he still could not sense the slightest hint of heat at all.
“This silver me is peculiar… it’s rumoured that in Heaven Wastnd domain, there are ten strange mes. They are mes, but they are the strangest mes within the world. Such as [Lotus Purifying me], [Apocalyptic me], [Divine Will Spirit me], [Executioner Immortal Heart me], [True Era me] and others. [JR1] [AT2] These are extremely rare mes that possesses strange power. The power of these strange mes are far too terrifying that even Fiendgods need to fear them. They belong to one of the strongest powers in this world.”
Ye Qingyu silently pondered.
He had once seen information regarding this in the books of White Deer Academy. Especially in a specialist book that introduced all the attributes of the strange mes of Heaven Wastnd domain, their forms, and the areas where they were formed. Ye Qingyu had once specially looked over these in detail. Added to his eidetic memory, these were remembered remarkably well.
The silver me in front of him seemed to produce no heat at all. It did not stop throbbing soundlessly, as if it was floating mercury in the air.
From just the outer appearance, it seemed to belong to one of the strange mes.
But Ye Qingyu could not be sure just what kind of strange me this silver me was.
“Could it be the [Divine Will Spirit me]? The colour is simr, the temperature is also simr. But the ancient books have said, that as the [Divine Will Spirit me] burns, there are definite peculiar sounds that apanies it. Like the singing of deities resounding throughout the air, causing one to want to bow down and worship… could it be the [Executioner Immortal me]? That’s also not right, the ancient book also said that as the [Executioner Immortal me] burns, there are definitely apparitions appearing along with it. In the air, there will be drip after drip of immortal blood appearing…”
Ye Qingyu recalled all the attributes of the ten strange mes, but could not reach any sort of conclusion.
He thought for a while, then took out a formation curved de from the [Cloud Top Cauldron].
This de was a weapon belonging to the previous master of White Horse tower. The workmanship of the weapon as well as the material of the weapon was top ss. A hair would be cut cleanly if it was blown lightly on the de. It could be ssed as a divinely sharp weapon.
Ye Qingyu held this curved de as the tip of this de slowly extended to the silver me.
The next instant, Ye Qingyu’s expressionpletely changed.
An extreme surge of cold instantly exploded from the me.
The instant the curved de touched the me, the body off the de was frozen into powder.
And at the same time, the originally soundlessly throbbing me suddenly became restless, as if it was a slumbering huge dragon that had been woken identally. The silver me followed along the de like madly encroaching lightning. What followed after was a vast consciousness, like a mountain avnche that was released from this jade white stone. It instantly crammed the cemetery of the Snow Dragon full.
Ye Qingyu waspletely flooded and overran by this vast and solemn consciousness. His entire person could not move, as if he had turn into stone.
“Crap… this is… could it be the consciousness of an extreme expert?”
When the martial way had been cultivated to its peak, the wills of those experts could be divine. Those extreme experts could brand their will in the air or perhaps in some special tools, eternally preserving their will. Even if they perished, their will and consciousness would still exist in this world. The people ofter generations, in front of a martial will like this, were like ants falling into the ocean. It was impossible to resist against. If they resisted against such a will, they would instantly be crushed into powder.
Ye Qingyu was locked in ce by this mysterious martial will. His mouth could not speak, his eyes could not move and he could not take any action whatsoever.
And the silver me that was encroaching on the curved de instantly burned this formation curved de into ashes. Then it began spreading to Ye Qingyu’s hand.
A clear and cold sensation came over Ye Qingyu’s palm. Then he lost all his feeling in his limb.
And as the silver me spread, the me slowly devoured Ye Qingyu’s arm, shoulder, abdomen, head…
Finally, Ye Qingyu’s entire person was enveloped in this silver mysterious me.
His body,pletely lost all sensation.
But Ye Qingyu’s consciousness was still clear and awake.
This feeling was as if his spirit had left his body.
Ye Qingyu was shocked to discover that he was still able to see things.
But the angle of which he saw things became iparably strange.
He was able to see that within the snow peak, standing alone in the cemetery of the Snow Dragons, he was able to see the ice altar beside him, he was able to see a figurepletely swallowed by that silver me, it’s figure bing indistinct. The light of the silver me becamerger andrger, ultimately bing tens of meters high, as if it was a human shaped pir…
He was still able to see Little Nine madly howling and barking, as if he had gone crazy. He ran circles around the figure swallowed by the silver me. There were several times that he wanted to jump in the me, but was rebounded by this silver me…
Without knowing why, the silver me could not burn on the body of the glutton Little Nine!
Ye Qingyu felt at this moment as if he was outsider, like a god overlooking the mundane world. Using the cold nce of a spectator, he looked at everything that was happening on the icy peak.
That person that was burned by the silver me, that was about to turn to ashes by the me from the formation curved de, that person was evidently himself, but why would he see this happening from such a perspective? Could it be that he was already dead, and his soul was floating through the air, so he could…
Ye Qingyu could not exin what was happening to him currently.
At this time, a voice sounded from beside his ear—
“Human?”
Ye Qingyu was surprised to hear these two ancient sybles.
Ye Qingyu was taken aback, then instantly understood the meaning behind these two ancient sounds.
These type of sybles should belong to the early human civilizationnguage of the God and Devil Age. Through the passing of several ages, such an ancientnguage was now rarely used by people. Only people that had dealings with ancient texts, formation masters, pill masters, or perhaps metal masters were able to know such anguage. Today, the humannguage used formunication had long changed.
Ye Qingyu had spent arge amount of time learning the ancient characters andnguage for the Bronze book [Fiendgod Titled Chart]. Therefore, such a thing, as long as it was not too esoteric, was not a problem for him.
Without waiting for Ye Qingyu’s reply, more sybles were spoken.
“For it to be a human… could it be that this is Heaven’s Will acting behind the mysteries?”
It was as if the voice was talking to himself.
Ye Qingyu had already slightly understood at this moment.
This voice, was emitting from the mysterious martial will thatpletely swept the cemetery of Snow Dragons like the tide of the ocean.
“Young man, no need to be afraid…” The ancient voice that had undergone great changes once again sounded. It was still thenguage of the God and Devil Age that had long disappeared from this world. Ye Qingyu could not hear it very clearly, but he couldrgely understand the rough meaning. The voice continued, asking, “What year is it in the era of the Three Sovereigns?”
Era of the Three Sovereigns?!
Ye Qingyu did not know what to say.
After the God and Devil Age, the three Sovereigns of the Human Race rose, supporting the Human Race and preventing it from being destroyed in those chaotic times. After that, it was the five Emperors that struggled for the peak, bing the most powerful in the entire world. They brought about the prosperity of the Human Race. Then the five Emperors disappeared, the Human Race multiplied and reproduced. This continued for several eras. And today, the age of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were already extremely far away. The people thought of the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors as legends. For this voice to ask what year it is in the era of the Three Sovereigns, could it be that he was someone from the era of the Three Sovereigns?
The era of the Three Sovereigns was already millions of years ago from the current time!
Without hearing Ye Qingyu’s reply, the voice remained silent for a while, as if realizing something. Asking again, “Could it be that the age of the Three Sovereigns has already passed? Then right now, what year is it?”
Ye Qingyu suppressed the huge shock in his heart saying, “Elder, the era of the Three Sovereigns is already something that urred six million and six hundred thousand years ago. Today, it is the era of the Human Sovereign, this is the Explosive Snow cier at Heaven Wastnd domain…” Using the most simple words, he tried to describe the passing of the ages briefly. Thenguage of the God and Devil Age was extremely rusty when spoken by him. Ye Qingyu had great difficultly speaking it, and he did not know whether the opposing party understood his words or not.
A very long silence.
Then it was a very long sigh.
Within the sigh, there were far too many emotions contained within.
“Your strength is so weak, why have you been able toe here…” The voice was as if he was speaking to himself. Then an extremely vast and powerful consciousness swept out, as if he was sensing everything around him. Three or four breathster, he had evidently already understood something. With huge shock in his voice, “The world has already changed like this… For the [Ice Throne] to deteriorate to such a state, the fall of the protectors, just what has happened… why is there the bloodline of the divine dragon running in a youth of the Human Race…”
There were too many cryptic sybles, Ye Qingyu could only understand a little.
Evidently, the voice was currently sighing over the changes of the world.
But right now Ye Qingyu cared about the situation he was in right now. Within his vision, his shell of a body hadpletely been swallowed by the silver me. Indistinctly, he could see his muscles and bones emitting radiance, as if they were ice. Evidently, he was transforming into ice. Like the Snow Dragon kings that had perished for tens of thousands of years, his body was turning into ice. This was extremely peculiar.
As if he could sense the panic of Ye Qingyu, the voice sounded again—
“No need to panic young man. Being swallowed by the [Supreme Ice me] is your fortune. You have the bloodline of the divine dragon, only through this could youe to this ce… Meeting me is your destiny. The [Supreme Ice me] cannot destroy you… This is the will of Heaven and Earth… your fate has arrived… Young man, I will pass on the [True Will of the Sky Dragon] of the [Ten Great Wills of the Martial Path], to aid you in assimting the [Supreme Ice me]…”
As the voice finished.
A powerful will, like a sharp sword, pierced into Ye Qingyu’s consciousness and spirit.
