Chapter 1457 - 1456: The Final Two Steps! (Fifth Update)

The True Dragon that Zhang Bin had transformed into flicked its tail, and with a loud crack, the Mysterious Ice shattered.

Zhang Bin stepped forward rapidly, closing the distance to the door to just two steps.

Yet, no matter how, this step could not be taken.

Because the pressure was like a planet, crazily crushing down upon him.

The terrifying Mysterious Ice rapidly extended upward from the snow, enveloping him in an instant.

It transformed into a massive ice sphere, tens of meters in size.

This ice was not ordinary ice, nor was it the Mysterious Ice once crafted by Madisha; colder and more solid.

Zhang Bin exerted himself frantically, madly channeling True Qi, initiating Divine Skills.

He exhausted all his efforts.

Attempting to break free, but to no avail!

"Goodness, is this trial too formidable? Even I can't enter?"

Zhang Bin was secretly shocked, an expression of disbelief appearing on his face.

He really wanted to summon the Purple Fire Spirit.

However, he decided against it.

Because this is a test—of talent and combat strength.

Not a test of your magical treasures or luck.

Once the spirit is used to break the binding, entry might be possible, but gaining the highest inheritance might not.

Unless there's absolutely no other way, Zhang Bin won't use the Fire Spirit.

"What to do?"

While desperately fending off the attack of the terrifying cold, Zhang Bin pondered to himself.

"Hahaha... This time, Zhang Bin is doomed to fall. He is bound to die."

Numerous disciples of the Snow Mountain Sect, along with Hopski, looked pleasantly surprised and expectant.

They smirked continuously, waving their arms and legs.

It's known that even Hopski, who had cultivated to the Ascension Realm Middle Stage, had no ability to walk through the front entrance.

Though Zhang Bin is a prodigy, he merely cultivated the Ice God Technique to the Golden Core Realm Great Perfection.

Once sealed by ice without escape, it can never be broken open.

He will turn into an ice sculpture and completely fall.

"Hehehe... Zhang Bin, you're finally going to perish, and Luopu Youdao will finally be free."

Luopu Youdao was also shouting excitedly in his heart.

"It appears my cultivation speed is rapid, able to achieve the Golden Core Realm Great Perfection in just a few days. That's because I've long cultivated other techniques to the Golden Core Realm Great Perfection. Now I've reached a bottleneck; breaking through is extremely challenging, not achievable in a short time. And this place isn't safe, Snow Mountain Sect disciples might employ measures against me." Zhang Bin contemplated and analyzed internally, "So how can I enter and gain the highest inheritance?"

"Let me try to cultivate the Marrow Golden Body."

Zhang Bin muttered internally.

The Marrow Golden Body, of course, is the most difficult final layer technique in the Tyrant Gold Celestial Technique, which involves changing the bone marrow structure to form a Domineering Gold Structure.

If it were before, he wouldn't dare even think about it.

Without reaching the Ascension Realm, there's no chance at all.

Because it requires enormous spiritual power to penetrate the already extremely fine bones, enter deep inside, and lay a Magnifying Formation. That's extremely difficult.

However, now he has condensed 300 acupoints from his Spirit Body, so his spiritual power naturally has increased significantly.

Perhaps there's a chance for successful cultivation.

Once successful, he would become significantly stronger.

He promptly began attempting it.

Yet his face soon showed disappointment.

Although his spiritual power had grown substantially, being able to penetrate bones and enter within, he still couldn't construct the Magnifying Formation, clearly falling short in strength.

This method failed.

"Right, I haven't cultivated a certain Divine Skill..."

Zhang Bin continued pondering other approaches, his eyes suddenly lighting up, his face showing anticipation.

From the Dan Ding Sect, he received the Supreme Elder Lord's inheritance, which includes a mystical cultivation technique — the Ding Tian Divine Skill.

Yet upon leaving the Dan Ding Sect, he went directly to Mount Lao Sword Immortal Sect and then came to Snow Mountain Sect.

Earlier, cultivating the Ice God Technique to fend off the terrifying cold and pressure made simultaneous cultivation of the Ding Tian Divine Skill difficult.

But now, having cultivated the Ice God Technique to the Golden Core Realm Great Perfection, he can fend off cold invasion.

This allows him to cultivate the Ding Tian Divine Skill.

Perhaps, a Terrifying Heavenly Tribulation might occur, allowing him to condense more acupoints in his Soul Body.

Thinking of this, Zhang Bin did not hesitate at all and immediately began to cultivate.

The Ding Tian Divine Skill, founded by the Supreme Elder Lord, is a classic Daoist cultivation technique.

Tranquility and non-interference, aligning with Heaven's intent.

Thus, it can be cultivated in any posture.

Once the cultivation technique starts operating, the body awakens.

It begins rapidly processing Thick Attribute True Qi, channeling it into the meridians and Thick Property Dantian.

The essential liquid in the Swallow Attribute Dantian is also rapidly devoured and absorbed by the body.

Likewise, the Spiritual Energy and Hongmeng Purple Qi in the Central Dantian.

Therefore, Thick Attribute True Qi is continuously processed by the body.

The True Qi increases in quantity steadily.

The Qi Sea Realm, Liquid State, are breached one by one.

As time swiftly passes, a day goes by.

The Mysterious Ice surrounding Zhang Bin did not thicken.

Because such a binding is sufficient; it is a test.

Failure to escape equates to failure.

"It's about time; Zhang Bin's soul should have perished. I can proceed to claim the treasures."

Hopski's face showed victory and satisfaction, "What's the point of being a genius, Zhang Bin? Aren't you going to fall here? Didn't you walk into my trap? Dare to covet our Snow Mountain Sect's inheritance, dare to humiliate the top expert from the White Swan Country, Luopu Youdao; prepare for death."

Without hesitation, a red piece of Armor appeared on him.

An overwhelming momentum and pressure erupted around him.

He initiated action, striding towards the door.

He's attempted this countless times here, never succeeding in entering the door, meaning he hasn't passed the test.

Still, he was confident in breaking the Mysterious Ice to bring Zhang Bin's body out.

All of Zhang Bin's treasures would then belong to him.

He moved swiftly, expertly.

The terrifying cold enveloped him, yet he remained unharmed.

"Watch as the Sect Leader claims the treasures. Hahaha..."

"Zhang Bin is dead, completely fallen. How many treasures are on him? He was remarkably gifted, an exceptionally powerful existence."

"Zhang Bin surely has many mystical cultivation techniques, along with plenty of precious magical treasures, maybe even more magical treasures. Our Sect Leader is about to strike it rich; cultivating to the Peak of Ascendant Realm shouldn't be a problem."

"..."

Numerous disciples of the Snow Mountain Sect excitedly discussed it, faces filled with anticipation, eyes ablaze with fervent light.

Luopu Youdao also laughed bizarrely, "Zhang Bin, you were too arrogant, too conceited, too self-important; hence, you are destined to fall. And now, I'm finally free."

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."

Hopski's speed slowed down steadily, yet his face filled with strange laughter!
