C397 Martial King Attacks Upper(1)
A palace of contrasting ice and fire emerged from Woo Zhengyang's hand, rapidly expanding into what was known as the Ice Crystal Fire Hall. The middle-aged woman wielded a sword with the power of the Fallen Sun Tower, exceeding Woo Zhengyang's expectations. Although not quite at the level of a Martial King expert, it was still formidable enough to challenge him. Woo Zhengyang had no choice but to reveal the Ice Crystal Fire Hall.
The No Life Sword was already well-known, so adding the Ice Crystal Fire Hall to his arsenal was of little consequence. Within moments, the Ice Crystal Fire Hall returned to its original size, resembling a divine palace suspended in mid-air, casting a shadow over everything below.
"Boom..."
The massive light sword, unleashed by the middle-aged woman with the help of the Fallen Sun Tower, was completely absorbed by the Ice Crystal Fire Hall, causing only minor tremors without any other effects.
"What is this?" the woman exclaimed in shock. She had never seen such a colossal artifact, far surpassing their own Fallen Sun Tower in size. Moreover, their tower couldn't be manipulated at will, unlike this enormous palace.
"Here's your sword back!" Woo Zhengyang chuckled softly, ignoring her question. Unnoticed by anyone, Woo Zhengyang and his four companions had somehow positioned themselves above the palace, at the intersection of ice and fire.
Raising the No Life Sword, streams of icy power and fiery energy converged from both sides, enveloping the sword.
In an instant, a massive sword, half-ice and half-flame, appeared in Woo Zhengyang's hand. Its power surpassed that of the middle-aged woman's previous strike, yet it gathered force much more swiftly.
"How is this possible?" the woman exclaimed in shock. She hurriedly tried to form her light sword, but it couldn't match the speed of the ice-fire blade.
Ultimately, she gave up and quickly retreated. Unfortunately, it was too late.
Woo Zhengyang's ice-fire greatsword had already descended. As it struck, the sky was devoid of its usual colors, replaced by icy blue and fiery red. Those below felt the contrasting effects: one side shivered with frost, while the other was enveloped in steaming mist, drenched in sweat.
The middle-aged woman, caught in the sword's path, found half her body encased in ice and the other half burning like fire. No matter how she struggled, it was futile. Like Woo Zhengyang, her strength came from the Fallen Sun Tower, and her own abilities were merely at the Shape Gathering Stage.
As the ice-fire sword swept through, it made no loud sound. The woman's body simply disintegrated into blue and black ashes. The massive two-toned sword continued its momentum, crashing into the peak of the mountain.
"Boom..."
Half of the mountain slope of Sunset Peak was sliced clean off by the sword, leaving the palace above in ruins, not even a trace of rubble remaining. The sight left everyone below in shock.
They had thought the middle-aged woman's sword was unbeatable, but Woo Zhengyang quickly unleashed an even more powerful strike. Even a Martial King expert wouldn't dare face it head-on.
"Run!"
Though no one spoke, the thought was unanimous. The light curtain of the Fallen Sun Tower was gone, and even if it wasn't, they wouldn't dare stay any longer.
As for those who fled, Woo Zhengyang released five slender sword beams. Unlike before, these beams, like the massive ice and fire sword, contained the power of both elements, far surpassing ordinary sword beams.
After the five beams, the remaining elders of the Fallen Sun Sect at the Shape Gathering Stage lay on the ground...
The Fallen Sun Sect was annihilated!
In less than an hour, aside from Woo Zhengyang and his four companions, the sect was devoid of life. Though he hadn't gone on a killing spree, Woo Zhengyang was certain the sect would never recover. After such a catastrophe, with most of its elite disciples lost and all those above the Shape Gathering Stage slain, who could bear the burden of this sect?
Woo Zhengyang and the four women, including Bing'er, stayed in the Fallen Sun Tower for two hours.
Within the Fallen Sun Tower, the entire legacy of the Fallen Sun Sect is gathered, including rare natural treasures, secret manuals, enchanted artifacts, and a vast quantity of Heavenly Essence Stones, along with some exceptionally scarce spirit crystals. The accumulated wealth of the sect over the years is immense, but what Woo Zhengyang values most is the Fallen Sun Tower itself.
Though it may not rival the Ice Crystal Fire Hall, the tower is a rare and precious asset. With it, the crisis facing the Profound Heaven Sect might just be averted. The Ice Crystal Fire Hall can only be used by Woo Zhengyang, its owner, but the Fallen Sun Tower has no such restrictions. If Nie Fengyu masters its control, his Reality Condensing Stage abilities could give him a fighting chance against an expert at the Martial King level.
Woo Zhengyang's plan is straightforward: relocate the entire Fallen Sun Tower!
