Chapter 630: Chapter 480: Thunder Saber Slays Foes, Ice God Treasure Vault

The icy wind carried shards of ice, like countless small knives scraping across the snowy plains, landing on Qin Tian’s face.

His gaze was locked on the black monster that had just broken free from the ice mountain, its twenty-meter-tall body resembling a moving hill. The tusks on its beastly head glinted coldly, and its tail, covered in bone spurs, swept across the frozen ground, carving out a trench several meters deep, like Godzilla from the movies.

Qin Tian frowned. The ice monument had sealed this monster for thousands of years without incident. Why, when they just stepped into the ruins, not only did scattered monsters awaken left and right, but this big guy also broke through the ice?

Stranger still, don’t these monsters have a lifespan limit?

Being able to maintain such ferocious power after sleeping for thousands of years is truly illogical.

“Roar—!”

The monster suddenly let out a deafening roar, and its giant hand swept down with a gust of wind towards its head.

Qin Tian and Karen both looked up, only to realize that when the ice mountain collapsed earlier, the ice monument wasn’t smashed. Instead, part of the ice remained stuck to the monster’s head, as if giving the hideous giant beast an “ice hat.”

The giant hand slapped the ice monument, producing an ear-piercing “creak,” with a few black scales shaken off, yet the ice monument remained unmoved.

Instead, a more intense chill seeped from the monument, spreading over the monster’s head, condensing into ice-blue patterns on its neck and torso—those patterns crisscrossed like living chains, faintly exuding the aura of a sealing formation, tightly locking the monster’s power.

“Such a powerful sealing artifact.”

Qin Tian was secretly shocked. The monster’s aura clearly reached the high ranks of Tier Seven, yet the ice monument suppressed part of its strength. In this way, he might not be without the strength to fight.

As long as this monster is dealt with, the ice monument can be easily obtained.

But he didn’t rush to act, his eyes unconsciously drifting to Karen beside him—the Cain Bloodline’s survival ability was even more outrageous than he expected.

In the previous battle, if it were any other Tier Six Holy Blood direct lineage, they would have been hacked to death a dozen times over.

But Karen, relying on his bloodline ability and his exquisite control of blood magic, repeatedly escaped the sword, like an indestructible cockroach.

This survival ability somewhat resembles his Immortal Sacred Body. Other strong foes probably feel the same facing him.

At this moment, Karen’s gaze circled between the ice monument, the monster, and Qin Tian, a trace of calculation flashing in his dark red eyes. The next instant, a dense blood light flared up around him, transforming into a residual shadow darting across the snowy plain into the distance.

He clearly understood that if he teamed up with Qin Tian to deal with the monster now, even if they miraculously won, with Qin Tian’s strength, the ice monument would not end up in his hands.

Rather than that, it’s better to withdraw to a safe distance and watch Qin Tian and the monster fight it out.

Then, no matter if Qin Tian kills the monster or the monster kills Qin Tian, he can come out and pick up the spoils.

If Qin Tian also chickened out and doesn’t want to make a move, then no one gets the ice monument, and he doesn’t lose anything.

Qin Tian watched Karen’s retreating figure but didn’t chase— the Hunting Mark had long been imprinted on Karen. No matter how far he ran, he wouldn’t escape Qin Tian’s perception.

Bang bang bang~

After a few tries, the black monster finally gave up its futile attempts to slap the ice monument atop its head. The monument was deeply embedded in its skull, sinking deeper the more it struggled.

With a low growl, its pitch-black eye sockets turned towards the “little ant” in front of it, its previously scattered fierce light suddenly focusing. A terrifying aura pressed down like it was tangible, cracking the frozen ground and seemingly freezing the surrounding ice wind.

Qin Tian’s expression remained calm. He gripped the Black Frost Blade, raising his arm slightly. The blade was instantly enveloped in purple lightning, with currents crackling, and dark purple arcs dancing across the blade.

In the fight with Karen, he needed to burn the Sea of Blood with black flames, but against this Tier Seven monster, he had to use his most adept Thunder Saber.

Swish

Qin Tian swung his sword, a purple thunder blade Qi several meters long tearing through the air, shooting towards the monster.

“Roar!”

The monster let out a low roar, raising its giant hand covered with black scales to meet the thunder blade Qi.

With a resounding “boom,” the purple blade Qi was scattered by the giant hand. Dark purple currents zigzagged chaotically in the monster’s palm but couldn’t penetrate the scales.

Yet, when the monster withdrew its hand, a few scales on its palm had turned charred black, with tiny purple lightning seeping through the scale gaps into its body, causing its movements to pause slightly.

“Such strong defense power.”

Qin Tian was secretly shocked, knowing that even though this strike was a test and not full force, it was enough to cleave through the defense of an ordinary Tier Six Spiritualist, and could even slice open the hull of medium-sized battleships.

But this monster easily blocked the strike, proving its defense power was even more fearsome than he imagined.

Without giving Qin Tian time to think, the monster launched its attack.

Despite its massive twenty-meter-tall body, its movements were amazingly agile. Its rear legs suddenly kicked off the ground, lunging at Qin Tian, with its giant hand blotting out the sky. The palm wind was wrapped in thick black energy, as if intending to smash Qin Tian along with the surrounding frozen soil.

Qin Tian’s eyes sharpened, his Demon King’s Wings suddenly flapped, his figure sliding several meters to the side and rear like a phantom, dodging the giant hand.

Boom!

The giant hand impacted the ground, the frozen soil collapsing with a roar, forming a massive pit several dozen meters deep, with rocks and ice shards flying.

Swish!

Qin Tian attacked again, the Black Frost Blade enveloped in purple electricity, precisely striking at the monster’s knee.

The blade clashed with the scales, producing a crisp “clang,” with purple electricity scattering, shattering the scales, revealing dark red tendons beneath.
