547: Breakthrough in the Law Realm

They only saw a blurry shadow flash by. Then, Senior Brother Mu Chen, who was incredibly powerful in their hearts, spat out a mouthful of blood as his body pitched forward like a broken kite. A charred ice hole that pierced through from front to back was at his heart, emitting the aura of death!

Senior Brother Han Feng clutched his nearly torn neck, letting out painful roars. Ice crystals spread from the wound, and his aura plummeted!

"Senior Brother Mu Chen!!"

"Senior Brother Han Feng!!"

The Disciples of the Hanming Sacred Sect and the Profound Ice Divine Palace screamed in terror simultaneously, their minds going blank.

Just then, Mu Chen used his last bit of strength, his fingers stained with icy blood trembling as he pointed at Han Feng, who lay nearby, also heavily injured and dying. His eyes were filled with boundless resentment and madness as he hissed:

"Profound... Ice... Divine... Palace..." Before he could finish, the light in his eyes vanished completely, and his body stiffened rapidly, covered in a thick layer of frost.

Heavily injured and dying Han Feng, hearing Mu Chen's dying accusation and seeing him point at him, was overcome with rage. The cold energy at his neck wound exploded. He made gurgling sounds but couldn't say a word. He could only glare resentfully at the surrounding Hanming Disciples before his head tilted, his life force extinguished.

Dead silence!

Inside the ice cave, only the howling of violent energy turbulence and the heavy breathing of the Disciples from both sects remained.

Everyone was stunned by this horrifying scene.

Two Prodigies had actually perished together in front of everyone?

"Did they... perish together?" A Hanming Disciple looked at the puncture wound in Mu Chen's chest and the terrifying claw marks on Han Feng's neck, his voice trembling.

"It must be!"

Han Lie's eyes were bloodshot. He pointed at the equally stunned Profound Ice Divine Palace Disciples and roared, "It's them! They killed Senior Brother Mu Chen! Kill them and avenge Senior Brother!"

"Avenge Senior Brother Han Feng!" The Profound Ice Divine Palace Disciples were also seeing red, filled with grief and indignation.

New and old grudges, combined with the tragic deaths of the two core Prodigies, completely ignited the violence in everyone's hearts!

After a brief silence, an even crazier and bloodier slaughter broke out in the ice cave!

Roars, screams, the clashing of Magic Treasures, and the sound of cracking ice intertwined. Blood instantly stained the crystalline ground red.

No one noticed that deep within the rolling cold mist at the entrance of the ice cave, a pair of cold eyes watched everything calmly.

Di Juetian exhaled a sliver of cold air, and the silver-blue patterns beneath his skin slowly faded.

"When the snipe and the clam fight..." he whispered to himself. His gaze swept over the pool of spiritual liquid at the bottom of the cave and the suspended Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Soul Pearl. His figure faded silently once more. The fire was lit; all that remained was to reap the benefits.

The Disciples of both sects were now blinded by bloodlust, not noticing a figure appearing before the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Soul Pearl.

The conflict between the two sects intensified, and the entire Secret Realm had become a chaotic mess.

With the deaths of Mu Chen and Han Feng, the Hanming Secret Realm had long since turned into an asura field.

Di Juetian hid within a massive iceberg, his gaze piercing through the pervasive ice mist and blood, coldly scanning the chaotic battlefield.

There, the Hanming Sacred Sect, relying on their numerical advantage, was besieging the Profound Ice Divine Palace Disciples.

"Kill! Avenge Senior Brother Mu Chen!"

"Senior Brother Han Feng cannot die in vain! Kill all the Hanming scum!"

Both sides were seeing red, their reason completely swallowed by hatred.

Every shout carried bone-deep resentment, and every strike was full force, a life-for-life struggle.

This was exactly Di Juetian's carefully planned outcome—the elite Disciples of both sects were being heavily consumed here, the seeds of hatred buried deep, with no room for reconciliation.

Di Juetian withdrew his gaze, his heart cold and emotionless.

He opened his palm, his eyes burning as they locked onto the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Soul Pearl.

"The Ice Soul Origin contained within this object is enough to help me break through the Law barrier!"

The Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Soul Pearl lay quietly in Di Juetian's palm. Just by holding it, the silver-blue profound patterns around his body lit up uncontrollably. The Extreme Cold Ice God Body activated spontaneously, greedily absorbing the Origin ice power radiating from the pearl.

Without hesitation, he tilted his head and swallowed the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Soul Pearl!

"Boom—!"

The moment the pearl entered his stomach, it was as if an iceberg that had been dormant for ten thousand years exploded inside Di Juetian's body!

An unimaginably terrifying cold current erupted instantly, sweeping through his limbs, bones, Meridians, and Dantian with unstoppable force!

This power was violent and pure, far exceeding the Thousand-Year Ice Soul Pearl he had swallowed before.

"Ugh!" Even with Di Juetian's incredibly resilient will and the foundation of his Extreme Cold Ice God Body, he couldn't help but let out a suppressed groan.

Under the impact of the violent cold current, his Meridians felt as if they were being repeatedly cut and widened by countless ice blades. The pain was heart-piercing!

"Refine for me!" Di Juetian's eyes widened, the silver-blue light deep in his pupils surging. He operated the Extreme Cold Ice God Art with all his might.

Guided and accelerated by the power of time, the efficiency of the Extreme Cold Ice God Art in refining the violent Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Soul Origin suddenly increased several-fold!

"Crack... crack..." Faint but clear sounds of shattering echoed continuously within his body.

That was the solid barrier from the Heaven-Reaching Realm to the Law Realm. Under the dual impact of the violent Origin and time acceleration, cracks began to appear!

Outside, at the edge of the chaotic battlefield.

A female Disciple from Frost Sword Valley, her face pale, pulled her companion back rapidly, looking in terror toward where Di Juetian was hidden:

"Senior Brother Yun, look over there! Such a terrifying eruption of cold Qi!"

The young man she called Senior Brother Yun came from the Northern Region's second-rate force, the Snow Soul Sect, and had a Law Realm Third Level cultivation.

He also sensed that heart-palpitating chill, his expression extremely solemn: "Someone is breaking through to the Law Realm! And the ice Origin they've triggered is incredibly terrifying!"

These Cultivators from other Northern Region forces had all paid a significant amount of Spirit Stones to enter the Hanming Secret Realm for treasure hunting.

Now, intimidated by the phenomenon of Di Juetian's Breakthrough, they stopped their fighting one after another, looking toward the source of the cold eruption with suspicion and uncertainty.

At the core of the battlefield, a Profound Ice Divine Palace elite who had just sent a Hanming Disciple flying with a sword strike also suddenly turned his head toward Di Juetian's direction, a flash of horror and doubt in his eyes:

"This... what pure ice power? Who is it?!"

On the Hanming Sacred Sect's side, the leader, another inner sect Prodigy named Han Bing, had an ashen face.

He felt the threat contained within that cold Qi and shouted harshly, "Ignore that! Kill all the Profound Ice Divine Palace scum first! Don't let a single one escape!"

He felt a faint unease in his heart, sensing that something terrible was happening.

Just as everyone was in doubt—

"Buzz—!"

An invisible Law fluctuation, like a ripple on water, suddenly spread out with Di Juetian as the center!

The aura of the Tong Tian Realm Tenth Level faded, and a more powerful force rose within his body!

Law Realm First Level!

Second Level!

Third Level!

Finally, his aura steadily stopped at the Law Realm Fourth Level!
