Chapter 685: Flattening Ice Silkworm City

Chimo gritted his teeth.

There was no denying it. The fact that Qin Feng possessed the power of a Medium-sized Grotto Heaven was shocking, but more than that, it was terrifying.

But soon, a greedy light appeared in his eyes.

‘So what if you have the power of a Medium-sized Grotto Heaven? You’re just an ordinary Martial Dao Great Power. At most, you can only wield one percent of its strength!’

‘This is a fortuitous encounter bestowed upon me by the heavens!’ His crimson eyes flashed with a ferocious light. If he could obtain a Medium-sized Grotto Heaven, his ascension to the Saint Dao would be just around the corner.

He saw an opportunity in Qin Feng.

A mere Martial Dao Great Power possessing a Medium-sized Grotto Heaven was like a child carrying gold through a bustling market!

“Qin Feng, you’ve brought this death upon yourself!” With a sinister laugh, his figure shot into the Void like a streak of black light, vanishing into some unfathomably mysterious place.

Above Withered Pine City.

“Go. There are still some Spiritual Roots and Half-Spiritual Roots around Withered Pine City. They should be of some use to you. Take as many as you can. In one hour, we’re heading to Ice Silkworm City!”

The calm voice brought the numerous Star Soldiers and Star Generals out of their daze. They swarmed toward the outskirts of the Withered Pine City ruins.

Although Qin Feng had moved Withered Pine City in its entirety, many of the ancient trees on its outskirts had already gained spirituality. The most precious, however, were the true Spiritual Roots that emanated Spiritual Light.

An hour later, Qin Feng watched as quite a few Star Soldiers and Star Generals came running back, gleefully carrying Spiritual Roots on their shoulders.

Changqin and the Ten Great Commanders were also smiling, clearly having made some gains.

With a wave of his great sleeve, he took the Star Soldiers and Star Generals with him. Two hours later, Qin Feng arrived before a city built where a thousand dark rivers converged.

It was the Black Ice City.

Countless streams of cold air seemed to radiate from beneath the ground.

The surroundings were filled with lush ancient woods, giving off a primeval, desolate feel.

It was like being immersed in ice and snow.

From a distance, a gust of sinister wind, chilling to the bone, blew over. Some of the Star Soldiers with lower Cultivation couldn’t help but shiver.

Looking up, the world was a vast expanse of gray. A black wind raged, and even the sky was gloomy, with dark clouds obscuring the moon.

Staring at the majestic Demon City, which was filled with a whistling Demon Qi, Changqin’s expression grew solemn.

“General, this is Ice Silkworm City. According to the intelligence provided by Shaoyang Stronghold, there is a Yinfeng Cave here where a cold wind blows ceaselessly. It constantly spews extremely yin black wind. Many members of the Silkworm Race live here. The strongest is a Snow Silkworm King who is said to have cultivated for several thousand years. He possesses extremely powerful Ice and Snow Element Divine Abilities and once froze the land for three thousand li with a single strike!”

“It’s fine. I’ll go and have a chat with that old silkworm. If he’s willing to submit to our Star Sect, then so be it. But if he dares to say no, I’ll raze this Demon City to the ground today!”

Qin Feng waved his hand dismissively. With a flicker in his eyes, his figure flashed and disappeared into the Void above.

A moment later, a figure appeared above the City Lord’s Mansion of Ice Silkworm City.

“Someone’s here!”

“Insolent human! Who gave you the nerve?!”

“Who is it? How dare you trespass in the Ice Silkworm City Lord’s Mansion? Are you tired of living?!”

One by one, Demon Race experts charged out from the city, brimming with killing intent. They attacked viciously, unleashing several black tornadoes that resembled Black Dragons.

There were even a few Demon Race Giants among them!

“A bunch of small fry!”

Qin Feng glanced over.

The Void froze. The black tornadoes froze. All the charging members of the Demon Race, including the several Demon Race Giants, abruptly halted in mid-air. The ferocious expressions on their faces hadn’t even had time to fade.

“Who might you be, Your Excellency?”

From within the City Lord’s Mansion, a dozen torrents of surging Demon Qi rushed up, vaguely trapping Qin Feng. The one in the lead wore clothing that gave him a kingly air, and he stared at Qin Feng with an extremely cold gaze.

This Snow Silkworm King was very strong—a peak Quasi-Saint, a Half-step Saint.

Qin Feng glanced around. Besides the king, there were three or four Supreme Great Powers and nearly ten Martial Dao Great Powers.

A very impressive lineup.

The surrounding Void was being twisted and shattered by more than ten terrifying auras of demonic power, creating a horrifying feeling of impending Chaos.

Qin Feng said, “I am Qin Feng. You must be the Snow Silkworm King. I’m giving you a choice now: submit to my Star Sect. Of course, you could also choose to cooperate with our Star Sect, sign the Star Contract, and join my Alliance of Stars!”

The Star Sect was extremely powerful, yet very inclusive; it seemed to advocate for alliances rather than enslavement.

“Pfft! Your Majesty, has this kid lost his mind? A mere Martial Dao Great Power dares to act so wildly here?”

“Your Majesty, there’s no need to talk to this madman. Just tear him apart! His flesh and blood are full of Vitality, which would be greatly beneficial for the growth of our children!”

“That’s right! Who does he think he is, daring to be so impudent in our Ice Silkworm City!”

“All these humans deserve to die! The people from the Star Sect especially deserve to die!”

…

The gazes of the Silkworm Race Elders were sinister.

The Snow Silkworm King was just about to nod in agreement.

Qin Feng shook his head. He formed a seal with his hands, and a massive Divine Mountain several hundred li wide slammed down from the sky.

BOOM!

From the outskirts, Changqin and the other Star Soldiers and Star Generals saw a colossal mountain appear out of thin air above Ice Silkworm City. The next moment, the entire earth trembled.

When they recovered from the shock…

Everyone stared in a daze.

The entire Ice Silkworm City was gone.

It had been completely flattened!

“I’ll kill you!”

One after another, a dozen or so soaring columns of Demon Qi burst from the ruins, madly charging toward Qin Feng to kill him.

Apparently, although the power condensed in the Earth God Mountain was immense, it wasn’t enough to crush that group of Demon Race Elders, let alone the Snow Silkworm King.

Qin Feng sneered. His vast Grotto Heaven Power surged forward like a roaring river, slamming into the dozen or so Silkworm Race experts who had charged at him.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

In a series of rapid explosions, layer after layer of incredibly thick Demon Qi was pierced through, and countless bodies were pulverized into a bloody mist.

BOOM!

A figure was sent flying backward, streaking away like a beam of light.

Within the streak of light, a small, black, crystalline shield glinted with a cold light.

The Snow Silkworm King’s face was aghast. He paid no mind to his disheveled topknot or his blood-stained royal robes. He turned and fled, an expression of immense relief on his face.

This small shield was called the Black Ice Shield, a defensive Pseudo-True Artifact. He had forged it by spending several hundred years collecting the Ten-Thousand-Year Yinfeng Cold Iron from beneath Ice Silkworm City. It resembled a protective body shield with a dragon’s head at its top. Only someone proficient in the Ice Law could wield it. In battle, the user would remain behind the shield and propel it forward with their Ice True Power. The dragon’s mouth and eyes would then emit a hundred-zhang-long cold light capable of freezing anything, and it also possessed outstanding defensive power.

If that small shield hadn’t blocked the attack just now, he would have likely suffered the same fate as those Elders.

Even so, the single blow had shaken his Demon Core, nearly shattering it.

‘Damn that bastard! I don’t know what expert he is, but he dared to impersonate an ordinary Martial Dao Great Power to slaughter my Ice Silkworm City! When I return to the Demon God Hall, I will definitely ask for one of the clan’s living fossils to come! I’ll have that beast flayed and his tendons pulled out! I’ll place his soul in the subterranean yin wind to be blasted for tens of millions of years! Only then will this hatred be appeased!’

Thinking of Ice Silkworm City, which had been flattened by a single blow, the Snow Silkworm King’s heart ached with excruciating pain. His face twisted, and his hatred was so venomous it felt tangible.

“Snow Silkworm King, where do you think you’re going?”

But in the next moment, the Void suddenly tore open. A figure shot out with a cold laugh, blasting a palm strike through the air. A power strong enough to shatter the Firmament abruptly appeared before the Snow Silkworm King’s chest. Horrified, the Snow Silkworm King poured all the Demon Qi of his entire life into the Black Ice Shield in his hand, trying to block the attack.

CRACK!

The sound of shattering glass.

In his terror, the Black Ice Shield instantly shattered. The next moment, the force pierced through the Snow Silkworm King, turning him to dust in an instant!
