Chapter 629: Chapter 479: Crushing, Troublesome, Awakening (Part 3)

The surface of the ice layer cracked finely, and a pair of eyes like black holes slowly opened, exuding a chilling coldness, silently watching the two battling outside.

Slash~

The Black Frost Blade pierced through the heart.

Karen’s body suddenly turned into a puddle of dark red blood, sliding down along the blade, merging into the Sea of Blood beneath him that had not yet dissipated.

As the blood waves surged, his consciousness quickly adjusted, and an overwhelming urge to retreat arose deep in his heart.

He had to admit that he was no match for Qin Tian, and if this continued, he would eventually be exhausted by his opponent, unable to even use his last means of survival.

“As long as the green hills remain…”

Karen was ready to activate the family’s secret blood escape technique to retreat, even if it meant abandoning the ice stele, his life must come first.

But at this moment, a loud “crack—” suddenly resounded from the distant ice mountain, like the sound of millennia-old Profound Ice splitting, piercing sharply into the eardrums.

The battle halted at that moment, and both turned to look at the ice mountain.

Previously, amid Qin Tian and Karen’s fierce battle, the black flames and blood light shattered the permafrost and melted the snowdrifts. The aftershocks even caused the ice mountain a kilometer away to shudder and drop ice chips, yet the mountain itself stood resilient, seemingly able to withstand any impact.

But now, the surface of the ice mountain suddenly cracked densely like a spiderweb, spreading from the base all the way to the ice stele at the top.

More alarming was an aura of terror far exceeding Tier Six slowly emanating from the cracks, carrying an ancient bleakness and a bloodlust-fueled madness, instantly enveloping the entire snowy plain, even causing the howling wind and snow to freeze as if time had stopped.

Qin Tian’s eyes narrowed, and his form flickered like a Ghost back dozens of meters, landing on a protruding patch of permafrost. He temporarily abandoned his pursuit of Karen—Karen had already been marked with the Hunting Mark, allowing Qin Tian to track him precisely no matter where he fled. The anomaly of the ice mountain clearly posed a greater threat than Karen.

Within the Sea of Blood, Karen also ceased preparations for his blood escape, reforming into a translucent humanoid figure, hovering mid-air.

The ferocity on his face was replaced with solemnity, his gaze locked on the continuously cracking ice mountain.

“Boom—!”

A loud blast erupted as the ice stele atop the mountain was the first to shatter, disintegrating into countless shards of ice.

Immediately after, the entire ice mountain exploded violently, with massive ice chunks crashing to the ground like meteors, each impact carving deep pits into the permafrost.

Amid the swirling dust and ice fog, a colossal silhouette slowly rose from the remains of the ice mountain—

It was the largest monster Qin Tian had ever seen, over twenty meters tall, comparable to a small tower.

It bore the head of a beast, with tusks protruding, its eyes were deep black voids, oozing thick black liquid; its body humanoid, with knotted muscles covered in heavy black scales, and dark red blood beading from the gaps of the scales; from its back trailed a tail bristling with bone spurs, each lash of which gouged meters-deep furrows into the ground.

As it fully broke free from the ice mountain’s constraints, savoring the long-lost freedom, it threw back its head and let out a mighty and ferocious roar!

The roar shook the air, sending the ground’s snow flying several meters high, and Qin Tian and Karen retreated a few more steps in unison, their expressions gravely serious.

Karen couldn’t help but clutch his Magic Staff tightly, a flash of astonishment flickered in his dark red eyes:

“What…what creature is this? What exactly did the Ice God Race suppress back then!”

Qin Tian remained silent, the hand holding the Black Frost Blade slightly tightening.

He could clearly sense that the aura of this creature was at least at Tier Seven High Tier.

A target more dangerous than Karen by several times had appeared.
