Chapter 610: Ice Crystal Colossus, Fierce Battle
As the Mysterious Yin Green Flame defended against the chill, the coldness dissipated significantly.
Chu Ning took another step forward, and after walking about a hundred zhang, he could still clearly feel the piercing coldness, even under the protection of the Mysterious Yin Green Flame.
Accompanying this was an even purer Ice Attribute Spiritual Qi.
At this moment, the Earth Rhino Dragon spoke up from behind.
"Master, if we go any further, my essence energy will deplete rapidly."
Chu Ning's steps paused slightly, and he replied to the dragon, "Alright, go back into the Spirit Beast Pouch first. If I need you urgently later, you can directly transform into your physical form and use the Beast Spirit Secret Technique."
"Yes!"
The Earth Rhino Dragon immediately burrowed back into the Spirit Beast Pouch.
At this moment, Chu Ning continued forward, enveloped in the Mysterious Yin Green Flame.
After walking about a hundred zhang more, Chu Ning's divine sense was completely suppressed, and he couldn't even perceive the area within ten zhang ahead.
However, his eyesight was exceptional, and through the white chill that filled the air, he vaguely saw a blurry shadow ahead.
Chu Ning slowed his steps, his heart filled with vigilance.
As the Mysterious Yin Green Flame continued to envelop him, a shield suddenly appeared in his hand.
It was the Black Tortoise Shield.
Just as he infused it with essence energy, activating the Black Tortoise Shield, a powerful oppressive force emerged. Then, a flash of ice-blue frost beam shot out from in front of him and disappeared.
The next moment, a heavy impact struck the Black Tortoise Shield.
The tremendous force caused the shield's defense to crumble instantly.
Chu Ning seized this opportunity to fly backward.
As he looked around, a trace of horror flashed in his eyes.
The shockwave from the previous attack had dispersed much of the white frost mist in the area.
This allowed Chu Ning to get a clearer view of the situation ahead.
About a hundred zhang in front of him, there stood a colossal Ice Crystal Colossus, over ten zhang tall.
The main trunk of the tree was as thick as ten people standing hand-in-hand, and it was entirely ice-blue in color.
On the trunk were over ten ice-blue branches, and hanging on them were transparent leaves.
"That just now seemed like the tree's roots?"
Chu Ning realized what had happened.
He vaguely recalled seeing a thick root-like object flash and disappear back into the snow below.
This thought made Chu Ning's face turn pale.
The tree was only ten zhang tall, but the root that had attacked him was over a hundred zhang long.
This wasn't even the most surprising part for Chu Ning.
What truly astonished him was that the tree's root had directly broken through the defense of the Black Tortoise Shield with a single strike.
Although it hadn't harmed him, it was enough to startle him.
His Black Tortoise Shield's defense was so strong that even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would struggle to break it.
"The root's power surpasses that of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, so this tree..."
Chu Ning's thoughts raced, and his body flashed backward again.
But this time, he was a step too late.
Behind him, four ice-blue roots suddenly burst out of the snow below, completely blocking his retreat. Simultaneously, four ice-blue roots in front of him, like four ice-blue spears, launched an attack.
This time, Chu Ning saw it clearly.
These roots were incredibly thick, each as large as a person! The power emanating from them was enough to make Chu Ning feel immense pressure.
Without time for hesitation, Chu Ning immediately reactivated the Black Tortoise Shield.
He raised his hands, and two deep purple flames shot out, like two suns, heading towards the two closest roots.
Both Chu Ning's Purple Spirit Flame and the giant ice-blue roots moved at incredible speeds.
The Purple Spirit Flame had only traveled ten zhang when it collided with the roots.
The ice-blue spear-like roots pierced through the purple flame, and the extreme cold and extreme yang forces clashed head-on.
The Purple Spirit Flame visibly faded, and at the same time, the ice-blue color on the roots also dissipated.
The giant root seemed to be slowly melting under the attack of the Purple Spirit Flame.
Chu Ning was delighted at this sight.
But the next moment, his joy completely vanished.
Because at that instant, he saw two transparent leaves falling from the Ice Crystal Colossus in front of him.
In a flash, the two leaves traversed a hundred zhang and flew past the four ice-blue roots behind them.
The two transparent leaves landed on the ice-blue root that was locked in combat with the Purple Spirit Flame.
The root, which had already melted significantly, suddenly erupted with ice-blue frost beams, and the purple flame, which had transformed into a purple sun, was directly shattered.
The two tree roots that had retreated into the icy snow below suddenly resurfaced, piercing towards Chu Ning.
Simultaneously, the four tree roots that had been standing upright in the air earlier now charged directly at Chu Ning.
Together with the two tree roots still attacking from the front, there were a total of six tree roots assaulting him.
Chu Ning's scalp prickled as he realized that each of these tree roots possessed attack power comparable to that of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
"What kind of tree is this? Its strength is almost on par with a half-god cultivator!"
At this moment, Chu Ning couldn't help but curse Fan Ze Xian for intentionally keeping the biggest secret from him while freely sharing the Sky Order, various secret techniques, and other information.
Fan Ze Xian must have known that if Chu Ning came to Longsky Hall, he would undoubtedly discover this secret.
Chu Ning's first instinct was to dodge, but as he attempted to use his essence energy to manipulate spatial power and execute an escape technique, his face paled.
"The spatial power is unresponsive, and even Void Escape is unavailable!"
Startled, Chu Ning reacted swiftly.
The Black Tortoise Shield expanded rapidly, intercepting the two tree roots in front.
The next moment, he waved his hands, and two Purple Yang Spirit Flames shot out.
Transforming into two sun-like orbs, they rushed towards the two tree roots attacking from behind.
Simultaneously, Chu Ning patted his Spirit Beast Pouch, and the Earth Rhino Dragon flew out.
Chu Ning immediately used the Beast Spirit Secret Technique to merge with the Earth Rhino Dragon.
The Earth Rhino Dragon's body emitted a bright yellow light, and a defensive shield of earth attribute activated instantly.
At the same time, a huge hammer appeared on its front hooves.
This was not its soulbound treasure but the Annihilation Hammer that Chu Ning had obtained from the Nine Transformation Spirit Mountain.
A black long spear also flew out, its black glow intensifying as it slashed towards one of the ice-blue giant roots!
Beast Spirit Secret Technique! Purple Yang Spirit Flame! Annihilation Hammer! Demon Shadow Spear!
Chu Ning was now using almost all of his most powerful offensive methods.
Each powerful attack was directed at one of the six enormous ice-blue tree roots.
Every attack was enough to make a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator feel intense pain.
Even a slight miscalculation could result in serious injury.
Yet, Chu Ning was using these attacks to deal with just six tree roots!
The Purple Yang Spirit Flames reached the two tree roots first.
Just like before, the tree roots and the Purple Yang Spirit Flames quickly dissipated.
By this time, the two giant tree roots that had been sweeping towards Chu Ning also struck the Black Tortoise Shield.
This defensive treasure, which Chu Ning had refined and had proven almost invincible, was now directly hit by two giant tree roots.
Its power and aura vanished, and it fell to the ground, dimming.
The two ice-blue tree roots were slightly hindered, but the next moment, they surged forward again.
At this moment, the Demon Shadow Spear and the Annihilation Hammer that Chu Ning had activated also struck the two ice-blue tree roots behind him.
The power of these two spirit treasure-level attacks was fully displayed.
The ice-blue tree root hit by the Annihilation Hammer was shattered into fragments of ice-blue crystal, falling towards the snowy ground below.
On the other side, the Demon Shadow Spear also sliced through another tree root.
Instantly, the massive tree root seemed to break like an ice crystal, and a segment of its root tip, over ten zhang long, was severed.
Chu Ning's mind moved.
The Demon Shadow Spear flew up again, impaling the broken tree root and falling towards the distance.
What happened next caught Chu Ning's attention.
The blue crystal shards that had been shattered by the Annihilation Hammer, after falling into the snow, immediately burrowed into the snow and disappeared.
Even though Chu Ning couldn't use his divine sense to investigate what was beneath the snow, he could guess that these blue crystal shards were being absorbed by the Ice Crystal Colossus or perhaps would grow into new roots.
Meanwhile, the tree root that had been severed by the Demon Shadow Spear and flown towards the distance lay motionless on the snowy ground, without any signs of movement.
"It seems that beyond the reach of this tree's roots, even this strange tree can't control it!"
With this realization, Chu Ning had a plan.
The two ice-blue tree roots that had been blocked by the Black Tortoise Shield were now pounding towards him.
Chu Ning immediately controlled the Earth Rhino Dragon, summoning a powerful earth-attribute defensive shield to endure the attack directly.
The next moment, two massive impacts struck the Earth Rhino Dragon.
The powerful attack breached the Earth Rhino Dragon's defensive light barrier and affected both the Earth Rhino Dragon and Chu Ning, who was using the Beast Spirit Secret Technique.
This destructive force was incredibly potent, but fortunately, both the Earth Rhino Dragon and Chu Ning's physical body were exceptionally robust.
Moreover, the two tree roots had been weakened by the Black Tortoise Shield and the Earth Rhino Dragon's defensive secret technique.
The destructive force was still within Chu Ning's and the Earth Rhino Dragon's tolerance.
Seizing the opportunity, Chu Ning controlled the Earth Rhino Dragon, causing it to fly backward from the force of the attack.
The four roots behind them were repelled by the Purple Yang Spirit Flame, the Demon Shadow Spear, and the Annihilation Hammer, and at this moment, they couldn't stop the Earth Rhino Dragon.
As they burst out of the range of the four roots that had just broken through the ground, the Earth Rhino Dragon's body was still in the air, and Chu Ning flew out directly from within it.
Immediately, he put the slightly injured Earth Rhino Dragon from the previous attack into his Spirit Beast Pouch.
At the same time, a cluster of green and white lotuses and a five-colored great sword appeared in his hands.
His intuition told him that even though he seemed to have completely broken through the attack range of this strange ice crystal tree, he probably hadn't escaped danger yet.
Chu Ning's caution proved to be right.
On the ice crystal tree, several leaf-like crystals flashed and disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, they flew over and landed on the two roots entangled with the Purple Yang Spirit Flame.
Instantly, the two roots were filled with ice-blue light, directly crushing the two Purple Yang Spirit Flames.
The next moment, the two roots rushed towards Chu Ning.
The speed was so fast that Chu Ning, who couldn't use Void Escape at this moment, didn't have time to escape.
Seeing this, Chu Ning's expression changed slightly. The Primordial Fire Lotus he had already condensed in his hand blasted out, aiming at one of the roots.
At the same time, a five-colored sword beam swiftly slashed down, landing on another ice-blue root in front.
"Pipa!"
The sound of ice crystals shattering rang out.
The root was cut down by the Five Elements Spirit Sword!
If it were before, the Five Elements Spirit Sword might not have had such power.
But after merging with the essence of a Tenth Stage water attribute spirit beast, the power of the Five Elements Spirit Sword was now comparable to a Spirit Treasure.
At this moment, it directly cut off the root.
With the experience from the Demon Shadow Spear, Chu Ning controlled the Five Elements Spirit Sword to pass through the severed root.
Then, it shot out, flying towards his rear.
"Bang!!"
At the same time, the Primordial Fire Lotus also blasted onto the ice-blue root.
Accompanied by the fierce eruption of the green flame, the massive explosive impact directly shattered the ice-blue root into pieces of blue ice crystal.
Blue ice crystals and green flame ice crystals fell from the sky, creating a spectacular scene.
However, Chu Ning, who was in the midst of it, had no intention of appreciating the view.
The eruption of the Primordial Fire Lotus was too close to him. This was the first time he had experienced the impact of the Primordial Fire Lotus at such close range.
Although he immediately activated the defensive spiritual light of the Primordial Divine Art,
The distance was too close, and the backlash from the Primordial Fire Lotus hitting the root increased its power by a few folds, directly flipping him over.
At the same time, he felt a slight hindrance in his essence energy and blood.
He was injured! Chu Ning, who hadn't experienced this feeling in a long time, immediately understood.
But what truly made his heart palpitate was something else.
Just then, among the scattered blue ice crystals and green flame ice crystals, several transparent ice beams, almost imperceptible, flashed and disappeared, rushing towards him. "The leaves of the ice crystal tree!"
At this moment, Chu Ning was slightly farther away, and his divine sense wasn't as suppressed as before, so he immediately noticed it.
His heart skipped a beat.
As he flew back along the way he came using Thunder Escape Spell, he waved his hands, and a sea of fire formed in front of him.
However, the transparent ice crystal-like leaves could teleport, and in the blink of an eye, they had already leaped over the sea of fire and flew towards Chu Ning.
"Bai Ling!"
Chu Ning immediately transformed the Dark Yin Azure Flame into a shield to protect himself, and the Immortal Golden Body was also activated.
At the same time, with a thought, he sent a command to Bai Ling.
Bai Ling had been put into the Spirit Beast Pouch at the moment the roots launched their attack, and during his previous retreat, he had already called her out again.
Standing on Chu Ning's shoulder, Bai Ling controlled the Ice Soul Mirror, shooting out several ice-blue beams to meet the transparent leaves.
Chu Ning inferred from the previous battle that these leaf-like crystals didn't have as much attacking power as the roots.
With Bai Ling's abilities, the attack power of the Ice Soul Mirror was enough to match a Middle Stage Nascent Soul.
Using it to block these leaves should have some effect.
Indeed, several leaves fell one after another after being hit by the ice-blue beams.
However, even so, three leaves still managed to tear through space and appear in front of Chu Ning.
Then, they merged into one, turning into an ice beam that struck Chu Ning's body.
