Chapter 2216: Chapter 2213: Endless Ice Storm
Hundreds of giant wolves turned into wind and snow and left.
That kind of imposing might was still quite overwhelming.
But compared to the way the entire snowy land was trembling at this moment, it seemed utterly insignificant.
Beneath the snow, one Snow Ant after another burst up as if breaking through the earth.
"Snow Ants?" Xiao Yi only frowned slightly.
This swarm of Snow Ants looked as if they had only just emerged from the snow now, but in truth, they had come from far away, surging forward like a long white river.
From afar, those Snow Ants numbered far more than mere thousands upon thousands.
"Hiss." Xiao Yi drew in a slight breath of cold air.
This densely packed mass of Snow Ants easily numbered more than a hundred thousand.
This was somewhat like a Beast Tide.
But they were even more terrifying than a Beast Tide.
A Beast Tide was formed by the convergence of various demon beasts.
A Snow Ant swarm, however, was the same race acting in perfect concert, and most importantly, they were fearless and unafraid of death.
Just their bodies alone were no smaller than an ordinary Snow Cold Scorpion.
As for their strength, it was roughly around the Sixth Layer of Saint Emperor Realm.
With such an enormous number, the Snow Ant swarm was practically regarded as a calamity within the Endless Snow Mountain.
Wherever they passed, it was like locusts sweeping the fields, leaving not even bones behind.
No wonder that pack of Snow Wolves had fled so fast just now.
Even if Peak Martial Artists of Saint Emperor Realm encountered this Snow Ant tide, their end would likely be having not even their bones remaining.
Of course, for Xiao Yi, this likewise could not be considered any real danger.
"Hm?" Xiao Yi suddenly let out a light sound, as auras belonging to Human Martial Artists came from the distance.
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes and looked; in the distance, clearly a team of Human Martial Artists was trapped within this Snow Ant tide.
In the Endless Snow Mountain, there were also Human Martial Artists who came to temper themselves.
Only, those who dared to come were all people of great skill and daring.
This Human Martial Artist team were all at the Saint Emperor Realm, the strongest among them at the Eighth Layer of Saint Emperor Realm.
But running into this disaster-like Snow Ant tide was almost no different from certain death.
Clang...
A sword’s cry rang out in the air.
Xiao Yi casually sent out a streak of Sword Qi.
The Sword Qi was razor-sharp, advancing with irresistible force, carving open a passage wherever it passed.
In the distance, the Human Martial Artist team that had been surrounded immediately seemed to see hope, and all of them shot out at full speed.
On the other side, Xiao Yi had already risen into Sky-controlling Flight.
He had deliberately come down to travel on foot only to take a look at the demon beasts here, and to see just what was so strange about this Endless Snow Mountain.
But now, it was clear he had gained nothing.
If he continued walking like this toward the Ice Emperor Palace, the speed would be far too slow.
On top of that, the Endless Snow Mountain contained countless demon beasts, which had already slowed him down considerably.
Xiao Yi did not wish to waste this time, so now he directly took to Sky-controlling Flight.
Below.
That Human Martial Artist team followed the Sword Qi passage to escape, and after a few dozen seconds, they broke out of their predicament and directly got far away from this Snow Ant swarm.
"Phew." The group, as if receiving a royal pardon, all let out a breath of relief.
"Thank you, Senior, for saving us." The Saint Emperor Realm Eighth Layer at the lead offered his thanks toward the sky.
But in the sky, there was not the slightest response.
"That Senior is really rude." A young Martial Artist curled his lips.
"Shut up." The leading Martial Artist rebuked, "Experts all have their pride. That he was willing to act to save our lives is already a heaven-sized grace."
"However..." a Martial Artist suddenly said, "this area is already extremely far from the Snow Mountain Giant Wall, more than a hundred thousand li away."
"Going any deeper ahead is what’s hailed as a Forbidden Land for Human Martial Artists."
"Will that Senior still dare to rashly go forward?"
The leading Martial Artist said in a deep voice, "Crossing this area, it’s another scene altogether. The wind and snow are violently restless, danger unfathomable."
"If that Senior dares to enter, he naturally has the ability."
"But Captain," that Martial Artist exclaimed, "those Snow Ants should only be commonly seen in the central region of the Snow Mountain."
"What could have driven them into the area near the edge of the Snow Mountain?"
The face of the leading Martial Artist changed, "Bad, it’s not some thing. Within the Endless Snow Mountain, the Snow Ant swarm has almost no natural enemies."
"The only thing that can frighten them into fleeing out of the central region is the Endless Ice Storm."
"What? The Endless Ice Storm?" The surrounding Martial Artists were shocked.
"Wouldn’t that mean that Senior is..."
"Who cares what he’s doing." That young Martial Artist laughed, "Anyway, that Senior’s strength is extraordinary; the Endless Ice Storm probably can’t do anything to him."
"What do you know." The leading Martial Artist scolded him.
"Forget it, don’t worry about it. Let’s hurry and leave."
...
High in the sky, Xiao Yi had already taken to Sky-controlling Flight.
He had never taken that hundred-thousand-strong Snow Ant swarm seriously.
Thus he hadn’t looked deeply and failed to notice that those Snow Ants weren’t hunting and encircling Human Martial Artists at all, but fleeing...
He flew for several minutes.
"Hm?" Xiao Yi’s brows knit again.
Bang...
A gust of storm suddenly crashed down upon him.
The ferocity of the surrounding wind and snow suddenly soared within just a few breaths.
"The wind and snow are starting to get violent." Xiao Yi murmured to himself.
If one said that in the area he had been traveling through earlier, Peak Martial Artists of Saint Emperor Realm could completely ignore the wind and snow and fly through the air—
Then this area now at least required a Supreme Realm Martial Artist to fly safely.
In lands of wind and snow, there would generally be a No-fly restriction.
The reason lay precisely in these terrifying winds and snows.
One minute later.
For the first time, a change appeared on Xiao Yi’s face.
All around, it had already become a storm of wind and snow.
Before this, there had been no sign at all.
Xiao Yi’s Cultivation Power burst forth almost in an instant.
"Could this be the legendary Endless Ice Storm?" Xiao Yi frowned.
Before coming, Senior Luoo had only warned him about one dangerous thing he needed to be wary of, and that was this Endless Ice Storm.
The Endless Ice Storm was extremely rare even within this vast Endless Snow Mountain.
The chance of encountering it was very low, and if discovered in time, one only needed to immediately withdraw far away; otherwise, it was incomparably dangerous.
"My luck can’t be this rotten, right." The muscles on Xiao Yi’s face twitched.
At this moment, the storm had become a snowstorm, and in just over ten seconds, the snowstorm directly turned into an Ice Storm.
The Ice Storm encompassed a radius of a hundred li.
"Gulp." Xiao Yi swallowed.
All around, at some unknown point, the winds and clouds had already changed.
The originally endless white scene had long since become a place of violently rampaging auras.
At the center of the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared, violent lightning auras rampaging uncontrollably.
This looked remarkably like a beautiful aurora.
But the Ice and Snow Storm swirling around it was clearly filled with an extreme sense of danger.
Within this hundred-li radius, even if a Supreme Realm Martial Artist stepped in, their fate would be certain death in less than one quarter of an hour.
Xiao Yi, with Cultivation at the First Layer of Saint Sovereign Realm, actually felt a trace of pressure.
"Lightning, Kuang Feng, Ice Storm, flying snow—interesting." Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.
If he wanted to escape, he could have done so over a dozen breaths ago.
But he had come here to temper himself; how could he flee at the first sign of danger?
At least for now, in his perception, this endless storm was still not enough to take his life.
Clang...
A sharp sword condensed in Xiao Yi’s hand, formed purely from his own Primordial Power.
He did not use Purple Lightning; Purple Lightning was, after all, a Top-grade Holy Artifact.
If he wielded it, his strength would skyrocket in an instant.
But that was ultimately an external aid.
Since this was training, naturally he had to rely on his own Primordial Power and Cultivation as his strength to achieve the best effect.
Rumble...
Within the wildly raging auras, a bolt of lightning came crashing down.
Xiao Yi swung his sword to block.
The sword fell, and the lightning dispersed.
Xiao Yi frowned again, "What’s going on? There’s Sword Intent contained within the lightning’s might?"
The lightning that struck down had roughly the power of the First Layer of Saint Sovereign Realm.
Moreover, this was a natural peril formed by heaven and earth, not some Formation or method that someone could control.
The storm, lightning, flying snow, and Ice Storm raging around him were all rampaging unpredictably.
For a time, all sorts of violent auras surged unceasingly around him.
The sword in Xiao Yi’s hand could only dance like a blur, warding off these dense, wantonly raging auras.
