Chapter 608: 114, Ultimate

Di Hong City.

Imperial Palace.

The desolately empty Di Hong Palace was enveloped in the dimness of ignorance, a boundless oppression looming over the entire grand hall like the celestial dome itself.

Above the Imperial Platform, the Crown Prince, clad in a Mysterious Robe and Crown, and wearing the five-colored regalia, sat with indifferent eyes as detached as the heavens, his exquisitely handsome face void of any emotional fluctuation, like a vividly lifelike statue.

"It seems I have won, elder brother."

Below the Imperial Platform, the Second Prince sat in a wheelchair with a faint smile, looking up at the Crown Prince, "Prepare for divine punishment."

"He did not choose to go to the Demon Clan." The Crown Prince spoke dispassionately, "But because of personal feelings, he caused your plan to fail, failing to capture Duanmu Yan nor finding the traces of the Demon God hiding behind."

"What does that matter?"

The Second Prince shook his head, "It is not a big deal, this time the most important thing was to save his life. Duanmu Yan seems to practice the Second Primordial Spirit; capturing him wouldn’t have been very meaningful, and the Demon God behind him has gone into complete hiding, I never held any hope."

"Failures caused by personal feelings could lead to greater failures in the future." The Crown Prince spoke mildly.

"You, who are not even human, naturally see human emotions as redundant."

The Second Prince glanced at him, "If humans were heartless, the Human Clan might not have survived until now. If the Human Ancestor were like you, the Human Clan would have been extinct back in the tribal era."

The Crown Prince fell silent for a moment, then said, "Sometimes you are much more heartless and ruthless than I am."

"That is also because of emotions." The Second Prince spoke softly, "Someone truly heartless like you probably cannot understand why Baili Fengzhi is willing to forsake even her life, can you?"

The Crown Prince was silent for a while, then said, "Given her past, I deduced this situation, but this was clearly not the best choice."

"The best... What is the best?"

The Second Prince shook his head slightly, "This is what she thinks is the best scenario. Sometimes... life is trivial compared to certain things, no matter how you calculate, you can never truly understand, and even people can hardly understand each other, let alone you?"

The Crown Prince remained silent for a long while, only to utter two words: "Foolish."

"It is very foolish."

The Second Prince laughed, "I, elder brother, and many others... have all been foolish like this."

The Crown Prince said nothing further.

He simply slowly turned his head northward, the void above twisted, casting down gazes, following his view towards the north.

At the same time, a supreme and terrifying oppression spread out.

It came from the direction of the Extreme North Icefield.

...

Extreme North Icefield.

The land covered in snow and ice, where the bleak cold winds raced unbridled, but as it neared an area shrouded in a greenish glow, it couldn’t touch the boundary, not even a fraction.

Within hundreds of miles, the area engulfed by the greenish glow seemed like another world.

Even with the presence of this other world visible, one could not know everything inside it, much less enter it.

"This... this is..."

A woman in a silver robe with pure white eyebrows and hair, as if blending into the ice and snow, stood on an ice peak hundreds of miles away, watching the greenish world with tremendous shock.

"A self-contained world, detached from Great Yong? Could it be the legendary World Tree? Its branches?"

Good heavens.

She was, after all, a Saint, the strongest in the Ice Soul Demon Sect and one of the hidden dominant powers in the Extreme North Icefield.

But the branches of the Demon Clan’s World Tree appeared here?

She had thought it might be a grand opportunity, but now she did not dare to approach.

Let alone her, an ordinary Saint, even those Saints defying the heavens would face death if they got involved.

"The legendary World Tree has emerged... Who exactly are they contending with?"

After spreading the news, the woman in the silver robe watched the World Tree Heaven and Earth from afar, pondering deeply to herself.

At that moment—

"Rumble!"

The thunderous roar suddenly exploded, as the heavenly dome, for some reason, had grown obscure and immense, ignorant and profound, also with dazzling lightning like dragons tearing the sky apart, rampaging through the darkness between heaven and earth.

Countless ice mountains collapsed, ice crevices cracked open like huge gorges, and even the whole world trembled!

This terrifying scene seemed like a vision before the end of the world.

"This..."

The woman’s face turned pale, and she looked up at the sky in shock and fear.

Even as a powerful being who had created her own Inner Heaven and Earth, under such vast and terrifying might, she only felt powerless and fragile.

Like an ant looking up at the heavens.

She could feel... Among the countless glaring lightning bolts traveling through the dome, any single one could easily obliterate her!

And now so many had converged?

"Could it be..."

At that moment, a terrifying guess flashed through the woman’s mind, making her tremble all over.

"Crack!"

The deepest part of the celestial dome suddenly ripped open a massive rift.

It was an eye as immense as the sky itself!

Indifferent, merciless, as if the supreme heavens were looking down upon this Human World.

Then—

It shifted slightly, its gaze falling upon that small world enveloped by the green glow amidst the icefield.

"Boom!"

Those innumerable fearsome lightning bolts suddenly surged speedily, converging in the sky and instantly transforming into a gigantic black thunderbolt, which, carrying the might of world-destruction, fell from the heavens!
