Chapter 162 Absorbing Mysterious Ice
After Zhou Chen separated a water ball and sent Feng Tieshan up, he rushed downwards alone. Even though Zhou Chen possessed ice-attributed true qi and the protection of the water realm, he still felt a chill after reaching the ice layer, as if all the blood in his body was about to freeze at this moment.

Zhou Chen had to circulate the true energy throughout his body to speed up blood circulation to resist the invasion of the cold air. Then he looked down at the Nine Nether Mysterious Ice below. Zhou Chen used his feet to test the ice and found that it was extremely hard and could not be broken by ordinary means.

He immediately drew his sword and activated his magical power, Illusion Killing, and swung the sword downwards. The moment it hit the ice, a crack appeared in the space. Such a powerful attack force only made a two-centimeter gap.

Then he chopped down again with the second knife, and it also only cut a two-centimeter gap. What he didn't expect was that before he could use the third knife, the gap in the ice layer actually healed automatically.

Zhou Chen couldn't help but swear, "Fuck, it seems this thing is not so easy to get." Then Zhou Chen walked up more than ten meters, and then activated the Gale Sword to try again, but the result was the same, only a four-centimeter-deep gap was left on it, and this gap was healing rapidly.

Looking at all this Zhou Chen felt helpless, "It seems that I thought it was simple. This thing is not that easy to get." Just when he was about to go up and think of a solution, Feng Tieshan suddenly swam down.

Just as he was curious, he saw Feng Tieshan stretched out his hand and made a strange seal, then smiled at Zhou Chen, and then his body slowly dissipated in the water, forming a blood mist, which floated towards the ice below.

And the moment it touched the ice layer, it began to melt. At the same time, Feng Tieshan's voice reached Zhou Chen's ears, "Brother, don't be sad for me. This is the fate of my Feng family. This layer of black ice can only be melted with the blood of my Feng family. Unless you can reach the strength of the top three levels, it will be impossible to break it."

Zhou Chen clenched his fists. If he had known this would happen, he would rather not have the Nine Nether Mysterious Ice than sacrifice himself.

At this time, the ten-meter-thick ice layer had completely melted, and Zhou Chen also saw the appearance of the Nine Nether Mysterious Ice. The moment the ice layer broke, the mysterious ice floated up directly from the bottom of the lake and hovered in front of Zhou Chen.

The cold air emitted by the Nine Nether Mysterious Ice directly froze everything within a ten-meter radius around Zhou Chen's body, including his blood, which naturally included the Nine Nether Mysterious Ice.

Although Zhou Chen still had some life force, it was slowly fading away, and it would probably not be long before he would die completely.

At this time, the only remaining trace of blood mist passed through the thick ice layer and sank into his brow, adding a touch of warmth to his body. "Brother Zhou, wake up and don't sleep. Absorb it quickly or you will die here."

At this moment Zhou Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and then the ice qi was activated, giving him a little resistance. At the same time, the God-killing Technique was activated and began to absorb the Nine Nether Mysterious Ice.

Instantly, an extremely strong chill entered the meridians and circulated throughout the body. Time passed minute by minute. It was not until two days later that Zhou Chen completely absorbed the Nine Nether Mysterious Ice into his body.

Zhou Chen looked inward and found that his Dantian had turned into an ice ball. The attributeless true qi in his body had completely changed to ice attribute. He no longer needed to rely on magical powers. In addition, an ice ball emitting endless coldness was suspended in his Dantian. This was the Nine Nether Mysterious Ice.

Zhou Chen did not absorb it completely, but only absorbed 10%. The remaining 90% could only be absorbed slowly. If he absorbed it directly, he might die immediately because the cold air was too strong.

There was another thing that surprised Zhou Chen. That was that after absorbing 10% of the black ice, his cultivation level actually broke through to the fifth level, and his strength took another leap forward.

Host: Zhou Chen

Speed: 40

After his strength was improved, his life span was further increased to 26 years. Now he is only years old. There is no second -year-old fifth-grade God-based warrior in the entire Wu'an County. Taking a deep breath, Zhou Chen stepped into the void and rushed out of the water. Standing in the air, he looked around to find Leng Yiyao's figure. It didn't matter if he didn't look. He found that Leng Yiyao was tied up with a rope and sat by the lake, and Li Mu was staring at him from a distance.

He just opened his mouth and said softly, "Brother Zhou, you come out, have you found the thing?"
The water realm dissipated and Zhou Chen slowly walked towards Li Mu. In two breaths, Zhou Chen was already in front of him.

Zhou Chen looked at Leng Yiyao behind him and said, "Li Mu, what do you mean?"
Li Mu was also surprised after feeling Zhou Chen's breath, "I didn't expect you to break through the fifth level so quickly, you really are a hero at a young age."

Then he extended his hand again and said, "Hand over the things, or you'll be waiting for him to collect his body."

As he spoke, a warrior behind him reached out and grabbed his neck. Leng Yiyao groaned in pain.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen's internal aura exploded, an extremely cold breath burst out, and instantly everyone present felt an extremely cold breath. Fortunately for Li Mu, those sixth-grade warriors felt that the circulation of blood and true energy in their bodies was hindered.

Needless to say, the warriors below the sixth rank had their blood solidified and their bodies froze on the spot, causing them to fall backwards. The surrounding lake water also formed a thin layer of ice at this moment.

Li Mu was shocked and took a few steps back, pointing his finger at Zhou Chen and said, "You, you have actually absorbed the Nine Nether Mysterious Ice. This is impossible. How could you have done that? That is the Xuanbing ranked tenth on the Xuanbing List. Even I would have to prepare a large amount of treasures before I would dare to take the risk to absorb it."

"Don't worry about that."

Although he was shocked, Li Mu's eyes were even more fiery, "Even if you have absorbed the black ice, with your strength you can't exert much of the power of the black ice. As long as I kill you, the black ice will still be mine."

As he spoke, the internal energy in his body burst out, and at the same time a light blue sword appeared in his hand. Zhou Chen could tell at a glance that this sword was extraordinary.

"Hmph, you will die today with this sword," and then immediately ordered, "Kill that woman for me."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen immediately used Frost Phantom to bypass Li Mu and came in front of Leng Yiyao. Before others could react, Zhou Chen grabbed Leng Yiyao and stepped into the air, while at the same time, he used his hand as a knife and condensed the Fengyun Sword.

Ten percent of the Nine Nether Mysterious Ice increased his combat damage by 10 percent. Coupled with his breakthrough to the fifth level, his combat power was increased by another 50 percent. At this time, the power of the Fengyun Sword was much greater than before. When the 35-meter-long sword was swung out, it killed everyone present on the spot.

They first turned into ice sculptures and then shattered into ice chips. Only Li Mu was still alive, but he was also frozen.

When the Nine Nether Mysterious Ice Qi is released, it can reduce the opponent's damage by 10%. This damage cannot be increased with his mastery of the Mysterious Ice, but the range can be increased accordingly.

It can also freeze the opponent's true Qi and the speed of the true Qi while reducing the enemy's damage. Only the opponent's strength is much higher than Zhou Chen's will be unaffected. In addition, it makes Zhou Chen more familiar with ice-attributed martial arts and magical powers, and easier to use.
