Chapter 431: Fusing the Immortal Physique, Casual Eradication

The flow of blood and Qi within his body began to slow, and even the circulation of his Immortal Spiritual Power showed a hint of stagnation.

"With this level of cold, if that trash Lin Tian had come, he would have probably died on the way before even seeing the Opportunity."

Zhou Chen sneered in his heart.

The fate of that 'Child of Destiny' Lin Tian was often accompanied by narrow escapes from death.

But Zhou Chen was different; he was here to stock up.

Standing on the shoulders of giants is indeed easy; the ancients truly did not deceive me.

"Open."

Zhou Chen gave a low shout.

The phantoms of the Thirty-Three Green Lotuses within his body bloomed instantly, and a majestic surge of vitality and immortal power flooded his entire body, instantly expelling the cold that had invaded him.

His speed exploded, turning into an afterimage as he rushed toward the end of the cave.

Half an hour later.

The path ahead suddenly opened up.

It was a massive Underground Ice Palace.

In the center of the ice palace was a pool about ten feet wide.

The pool water was not liquid, but a milky-white fluid as thick as nectar, emitting a heart-palpitating chill.

Above that pool water, even the Void Realm was frozen, forming a vacuum zone.

Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow Spiritual Spring.

It gathered the extreme cold Qi of heaven and earth, taking ten thousand years to condense a single drop.

This pool contained at least tens of thousands of catties.

"Good stuff."

A sharp light flashed in Zhou Chen's eyes.

This Ice Marrow Spiritual Spring could not only cleanse the marrow and tendons but was also a supreme precious medicine for tempering the Physical Body.

If he could completely absorb it, his physical strength would skyrocket once again.

Without any hesitation.

Zhou Chen walked to the edge of the pool in a few steps and directly untied his robes, revealing a perfect body as sturdy as a dragon.

If anyone else were here, they would certainly call him a madman.

A spiritual spring of this level was usually consumed drop by drop after dilution.

Preparing to jump in directly for a bath like he was doing was simply asking for death.

*Plop!*

Zhou Chen leaped and jumped directly into the pool.

"Hiss—"

The moment he entered the water, Zhou Chen sucked in a breath of cold air.

Pain.

A bone-piercing, heart-wrenching pain.

This was no longer just cold; it was a severe pain as if billions of volts of electricity were being conducted through needles inserted into his bone marrow.

His skin instantly turned purplish-blue and was immediately covered by a thick layer of frost.

The blood in his body almost solidified at this moment.

Even his thoughts became sluggish.

"Damn! For me… Refine!"

Zhou Chen gritted his teeth and forcibly activated the World Tree within him.

Boom!

The Small World within his Dantian trembled violently.

The World Tree seemed to sense its master's crisis, and its billions of roots danced wildly, directly piercing through Zhou Chen's Meridians and plunging into the Ice Marrow Spiritual Spring.

It devoured the spiritual spring with extreme dominance.

The originally violent cold Qi that wanted to freeze Zhou Chen into an ice sculpture instantly turned into the purest nourishment before the World Tree.

The surging cold current was extracted by the World Tree and, after transformation, turned into streams of cool yet gentle energy that fed back into Zhou Chen's entire body.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for intercepting Lin Tian's Opportunity!]

[Triggered ten-thousand-fold critical hit return!]

[Obtained Chaos Ice Immortal Physique. Detected existing Immortal Physique, fusing…]

The System's notification sounded in his mind.

Zhou Chen felt as if a volcano had erupted inside him, forming a sharp contrast with the extreme cold outside.

A world of ice and fire.

Under the washing of this power, his Physical Body began to undergo a transformation.

On his originally jade-white skin, profound ice-blue patterns emerged, intertwining with the previous Green Lotus Patterns to form a bizarre yet divine design.

The phantoms of the Thirty-Three Green Lotuses appeared once again.

This time, a layer of crystal-clear ice crystals condensed on the petals of every green lotus.

The green lotuses no longer just represented vitality.

They now possessed a sense of slaughter and annihilation.

Time passed minute by minute.

The Ice Marrow Spiritual Spring in the pool decreased at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Three days later.

The last drop of the spiritual spring was completely absorbed by Zhou Chen.

Rumble!

The entire ice palace began to shake violently, as if unable to withstand the terrifying power that was about to awaken.

Zhou Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

His left eye swirled with green light, brimming with vitality.

His right eye flickered with blue light, chilling to the bone.

"Break!"

A low shout.

The aura within Zhou Chen's body surged instantly, like a flood breaking through a dam, unstoppable.

Fifth Layer of True Immortal Realm Peak… broken!

True Immortal Realm Sixth Layer!

A terrifying cold wave centered on him and instantly spread in all directions.

*Crack, crack—*

The ice palace within a hundred-mile radius was actually frozen again under this cold wave and turned into powder.

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: Thirty-Three Heavens Green Lotus Ice Immortal Physique!]

[Physique Traits: Untouchable by Myriad Laws, Ice Mastery, Endless Vitality, Annihilation Coexistence.]

Zhou Chen slowly stood up, feeling the power within him that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth, and clenched his fist.

The air was instantly crushed in his palm, and even the spatial fragments were frozen into ice shards.

Hiss!

"Is this the power after the Fusion of the Chaos Ice Immortal Physique and the Green Lotus Immortal Physique?"

"Indeed tyrannical."

Zhou Chen put on his robes, looked at the empty pool, and clapped his hands in satisfaction.

"Lin Tian, oh Lin Tian, thank you for your gift."

"In return, I will give you a quick death."

He turned and walked toward the cave entrance.

Just as he was about to step out, Zhou Chen's footsteps suddenly paused. He looked toward a certain spot in the Void Realm, a cruel arc curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Since you're here, why hide?"

"Get out here."

As the words fell.

A Sword Qi was casually slashed out, directly tearing through that patch of the Void Realm.

"Ah!"

A miserable scream rang out.

An old man dressed in black robes with a cold aura tumbled out of the Void Realm, looking at Zhou Chen with a face full of terror.

"You… you can see me?"

Zhou Chen looked at this old man with a cultivation of the True Immortal Realm Seventh Layer, a hint of playfulness flashing in his eyes.

Zhou Chen looked at the old man who fell from the Void Realm without any surprise on his face.

From the very first step he took into this Ice Cave, he had sensed this faint, lingering gaze.

The reason he hadn't made a move was purely to see how long this old thing could hold it in.

"Any last words?"

Zhou Chen raised his hand, and in his palm, a ball of ghostly blue cold light was slowly rotating.

The old man's expression changed drastically.

As a seventh layer True Immortal, what he was best at was concealing his presence; even someone at the True Immortal Realm Tenth Layer might not necessarily discover his tracks.

This kid is just a True Immortal… wait.

The old man's pupils constricted suddenly.

The aura that erupted from this kid just now had clearly only reached the fifth layer of the True Immortal Realm.

Why did that cold Qi make him, someone who stayed in extreme cold lands all year round, feel his Soul tremble?

"Who are you? I found this place a long time ago. Why are you snatching my Opportunity?"

The old man shouted sharply, a communication Jade Slip appearing in his hand, looking as if he was about to crush it.

This was clearly a lie; he had merely seen Zhou Chen's tracks from afar and wanted to come over to silence him, not expecting there to be a heavy treasure here.

"Snatching?"

Zhou Chen smiled, his smile a bit cold.

"Heaven And Earth Treasures belong to the virtuous. I see that this spiritual spring has a fated connection with me, so how can you call it snatching?"

Before his voice had even faded.

Zhou Chen's finger lightly flicked.

There was no sound.

The old man's fingers holding the Jade Slip suddenly froze.

A layer of visible frost rapidly spread along his fingertips.
