Xue Hansong held the saber with countless blade lights scattered around him, facing a gigantic Ice Giant composed entirely of ice, nearly a thousand meters tall.

Its entire body exuded cold air, freezing the void, with frost-white chill continually eroding the surroundings.

Blade lights and chill collided constantly, exploding brilliant energy ripples in the air, the blade lights even more fierce than the chill.

But strikes on the Ice Giant had no real effect.

"Damn it, this is way too cold."

Xue Hansong cursed under his breath, although he was a King, and also a Close Combat Professional, his physical condition was supposedly immune to cold.

His own blood was boiling, enough to repel the chill, not to mention he had numerous passive skills to boost his resistance.

Yet his hands were still numbed by the cold.

"If only it could warm up a bit!" Xue Hansong cursed angrily, as he saw a piercing cold light blasting towards him.

In an instant.

Xue Hansong transformed into a blade light, leaving his original position, simultaneously slashing back.

The blade spilled out lights like a torrential rain, enveloping the Ice Giant in a small world.

’Bang bang bang bang——!’

The sound of countless metal striking rang out furiously, blade lights continuously cutting the body of the Ice Giant King.

Within the blade light world, clusters of ice chips like clouds flew out.

"Roar——!"

Inside the blade light world, the Ice Giant King’s body was relentlessly bombarded by blade lights.

Chunks of hard ice were shattered by blade lights sharp enough to pierce the void.

Just when Xue Hansong thought he could resolve it, suddenly the surrounding chill seemed attracted by a special power.

Converging at the center of the blade light world, swallowing the chill like a black hole.

The crushing sounds gradually faded, with ever greater metal clashing sounds emerging.

The next moment.

A massive cold wave surged out like a sky curtain, with unstoppable impact, flattening the surroundings.

’Boom——!’

The surrounding blade lights were instantly shattered by the cold wave, and Xue Hansong quickly retreated, while the Beheading Great Saber in his hand started to glow a fierce white light.

It was dazzling to the extreme, even reflecting its brilliant blade light on the surrounding ice.

After the blade light dispersed.

The Ice Giant still wore a layer of ice armor forged of ice.

"Behead!"

Xue Hansong saw the Ice Giant King emerging from the blade light world, his blood surged forth, and the long-prepared blade light roared out.

A blade light that stretched over a thousand meters shattered the void, countless remnants flying by, leaving traces where the blade light cut through.

But the Ice Giant King seemed to have anticipated it.

A towering ice mountain abruptly appeared before him, instantly forming into a towering ice mountain before him.

’Boom!’

The blade light collided with the ice mountain, crashing out enormous thunderous sounds, with numerous energy ripples rolling outward.

The Ice Giant King let out a roar, "Humans, daring to invade our world shall cost your life!"

The next instant.

The ice on the ground of the Ice Abyss around began to foment, in a blink.

Thousands of meters of ice soared, converging from all directions towards Xue Hansong, with endless chill making it exceptionally cold, restricting Xue Hansong’s movement from every part.

"Purifying Blade!"

In a flash, Xue Hansong cleared himself of negative conditions, once again transforming into a blade light piercing through the void to leave his position.

But this time, the reach of the ice was enormous, from the sky peering downwards, seeing as if a lotus made of ice encapsulated Xue Hansong from all directions.

And Xue Hansong was at the center of the lotus.

"The King of the Ice Abyss is truly this strong!"

"What a bother!"

Xue Hansong felt the resistance from the surrounding space, reappearing from the void.

This cold not only blocked his movements on the physical level.

Even the void seemed to have turned into extremely solid ice, forcibly blocking him in place.

He realized this King of the Ice Abyss possessed a remarkable power unmatched by other Abyssal Kings.

They could wield tremendous forces from the Ice Abyss.

This was not the case in other Abysses.

In other Abysses, though the Kings were much stronger internally.

That was due to the Abyssal Blessing and Abyssal Shelter, but they could hardly directly harness the internal forces of the Abysses.

Yet this Ice Giant King could directly manipulate the surrounding environment’s forces against his enemies.

Whether it be the ice mountains or the surrounding cold waves.

Xue Hansong had been to the Flame Demon Abyss, Blood Demon Abyss, and so on, but had never seen anything like this.

’Could it be because this part received the original Blue Star’s blessing, or is it because of the Abyssal Blessing...’

"Let’s step back for now and come back after figuring it out."

Xue Hansong didn’t plan to dwell here any longer. At least now he was familiar with the Ice Giant King’s abilities and would return in a few days.

After all, it wasn’t likely that he would be forced out so soon.

But just as Xue Hansong was about to leave, he suddenly felt the cold around him being replaced by a wave of high temperature.

The surrounding frost was transformed into endless steam by the heat, and even the ice that had just imprisoned him instantly vaporized.

"My god, it’s the Great Sun Divine Monarch!"

Xue Hansong turned his head and saw a massive fireball rolling toward him, with several figures high above.

It looked just like the Great Sun Divine Monarch riding the sun in myth.

Who is this?

Xue Hansong was taken aback.

The next moment.

"Beheading King, are you alright?"

A familiar voice came from the sky, and Xue Hansong snapped back to reality, "Shen Fei? You got here so quickly?"

He recalled that Shen Fei was responsible for a place at least several times broader, with no shortage of Kings and Venerables.

Hadn’t he just set off not long ago?

Shen Fei already settled it?

This progress was unbelievably fast.

And just then, Xue Hansong noticed.

The path Shen Fei came from was no longer covered in snow and ice.

Instead, it was shrouded in fog, with flames and lava flowing everywhere.

As if a fiery world was forcibly created in a land of ice and snow.

"It’s taken care of. Do you need my help?"

Shen Fei looked at the Ice Giant King.

The Ice Giant King’s body, made of ice, started to melt before the Empress’ Great Sun.

The dripping water couldn’t recombine into ice, and a flicker of fear passed through its icy eyes.

"Then please help me with support."

"Alright."

Shen Fei nodded, thinking he couldn’t gain experience now, so he might as well let Xue Hansong take the kill.

For a King, defeating an Abyssal Creature of the same rank was quite rewarding.

With Shen Fei providing support, Xue Hansong no longer needed to retreat, while the Ice Giant King had lost the will to fight.

It just wanted to escape.

But under the Empress’ ’Ten-Day Celestial Patrol’ spell, it couldn’t even draw power from the Ice Abyss.

In hundreds of rounds, Xue Hansong shattered the core in its head, and it collapsed to the ground as a lifeless corpse.

Instantly melted by the surrounding heat.

A flash of light shone from Xue Hansong’s body as he leveled up.

He took the items dropped by the Ice Giant King and approached Shen Fei.

"This... the magnitude is too grand."

Xue Hansong looked at the massive light sphere, nearly blocking his view, its temperature controlled by the Empress to avoid harming him.

But the overwhelming sight of the Great Sun below.

Still left him parched.

"This is just to save time..."

"No need to save that much. Your actions might provoke the Tier Nine Emperor of the Ice Abyss!"

Xue Hansong said with a wry smile.

This difference is enormous, is this immense Great Sun really something a person can summon?

Even though Xue Hansong knew Shen Fei had grown beyond his imagination.

After all, a Tier Nine combat power.

But seeing it firsthand was far more impactful than hearing about it.

Shen Fei merely smiled at Xue Hansong’s comments: "Let them come, we’ll see how many lives they have to lose."

"Besides, I don’t want to waste too much time on this."

"My goal is to find the Ancient Secret Realm." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Shen Fei had only been a Professional for barely half a year, and spending too much time here.

Would all be a waste of his advantage, wouldn’t it?
