Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

“The metal fatigue of the Giant God Soldier is soaring, as if it is being attacked by the super arsenals all the time. The rune arrays on the surface and inside are all blocked by frost. Even the fuel is freezing. How many degrees is this

place?”

Li Yao frowned as he examined the performance parameters one by one. Every performance parameter changed from the normal fluorescent green to the freezing pale white, making him frown even more.

Before he tore apart the ice wall, he had planned to release a few telepathic thoughts to investigate.

However, the moment his telepathic thoughts crawled out of the gap, they were tangled by the wind that was close to absolute zero. Like invisible blades, they crawled into his brain through his telepathic thoughts and scratched the inside of his skull hard, giving him a splitting headache. His soul was in a mess, and he was barely able to control the giant soldier. It was indeed a deadly frigid hell!

Even so, it was impossible for him to curl up in this place for the rest of his life. What’s more, along the gap where he had just melted, spider-net cracks were spreading and spreading on the ice wall. Even if he didn’t take the initiative to go out, the wind could still shatter the ice wall.

Thankfully, he had repaired the Giant God Soldier in a hurry. Otherwise, the first round of wind would have frozen the core units of the ‘sun catastrophe’.

While the ice wall was still functioning, Li Yao strengthened the ‘sun catastrophe’ and added a lot of flame rune arrays and thermal insulation to make sure that every gap was blocked. Then he made up his mind and kicked open the entire ice wall.

Hu!

Gloomy wind was blowing, and screams were echoing nonstop. The small cave was immediately filled with ice crystals that looked like meteorites. The entire world turned white, including the ‘sun catastrophe’.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The wind, carrying the ice crystals, hit the fragile surface of the ‘sun catastrophe’ brutally with blood-freezing noises, as if it were bathing in a storm of bullets. It was quite possible that ice crystals would pierce through the plate armor and freeze Li Yao in the next second.

The environment here was as harsh as that in the periphery of the ancient giants.

Even Lu Qingchen and the mental devil, the two remaining souls, were shivering in the cold. Their soul waves were almost frozen, and their communication with Li Yao was intermittent

Gritting his teeth, Li Yao swallowed the white mist and crawled out of the cave.

The world outside was made of ten thousand shades of white. The snowstorm was mixed with hailstones, and the hailstones were mixed with freezing rain. The rushing ice crystals were almost parallel to the ground.

No. The ground and the sky had been completely frozen. Li Yao looked into the distance, only to discover that the sky was covered in snow. He could not tell where the horizon was exactly.

The moment the Giant God Soldier took a step forward, he was already buried in snow more than ten meters deep. It was quite fortunate. It was quite possible that bottomless valleys and cliffs were below the snow. If he stepped on nothing, the Giant God Soldier would be buried deep below the ground by billions of tons of snow and ice. Even if he managed to escape, his performance, structural strength, and fuel reserves would be greatly undermined.

Then, what about flying into the sky? Li Yao tried to control the ‘sun catastrophe’ to fly one to two hundred meters away, only to be suppressed by the wind that was getting more and more intense. Faced with the most furious power of nature, even the Giant God Soldier that the Supreme Emperor once commanded could not crash into anything. Li Yao felt that he was nothing more than a fly that had been slapped down by invisible flies.

“Pu!”

The ‘catastrophe of the sun’ fell into the snow again, and the world was spinning.

However, Li Yao took the opportunity to scan the place.

As it turned out, he and the ‘sun catastrophe’ were in the middle of a gargantuan snow mountain.

The snow mountain was in the most precise cone shape. It seemed to have been a volcano that stored endless furious energy billions of years ago. Maybe because the volcanic eruption had blown a lot of dust into the sky and formed a thick gray shell that blocked all the energy radiation, the temperature of the place was frighteningly low.

The snow mountain was larger and more magnificent than any mountain Li Yao had ever seen. ‘Towering into the clouds’ was not enough to describe the magnificence of the mountain at all. It was as if the mountain was not piercing into the clouds at all, but all the clouds in the sky were shivering and kneeling before it.

Even Li Yao did not realize that he was in the middle of a snowy mountain. It was not hard to imagine how magnificent and terrifying it was!

Just like the ‘Thunder Valley’ and the ‘weight ocean’, there were no hints to guide the tester to the ‘exit’.

Even if there were hints, they would’ve been wiped out by the testers who got there first.

Li Yao narrowed his eyes and looked at the top of the snow mountain.

From his perspective, naturally, he could not see the situation on the top of the mountain clearly. He could only see that the clouds on the top of the mountain were different from those in the surroundings. They were the most brilliant, colorful clouds.

It seemed that the snow mountain was still active. A lot of heavy metal and rare elements were spurting out of the crater of the volcano, demonstrating its irresistible strength in the clouds.

“What is that?”

Li Yao’s eyes were sharp. When he looked down from the top of the mountain, he saw countless black spots wriggling on the snow and climbing to the top of the mountain. They were the war machines of the attackers and the defenders.

It never occurred to him that the guy who attacked the City of Silver would be so smart and capable as to crack the mysteries of ‘Thunder Valley’ and ‘Gravity Sea’ and march all the way here.

Could it be that the secret through this level was hidden in the crater of the Snowy Peak?

This time, Li Yao did not act recklessly.

The snow was heavy, and there was not much time. If he did not climb to the top of the mountain, where could he find the clues? More importantly, if the snow mountain was really a volcano, the temperature near the top of the mountain must be much higher than here, and the giant soldier gods could persist longer.

Thinking of this, Li Yao took a deep breath and joined the team climbing the snow mountain.

Gloomy wind was blowing. Ice crystals were swirling. On the magnificent snow mountain, countless ferocious beasts and war machines almost a hundred meters tall were wriggling, struggling, and climbing up like insignificant black spots. What an unbelievable and magnificent scene it was!

Originally, Li Yao only wanted to bury his head in climbing. He didn’t want to compete with the enemy in this kind of environment, even though he had a very favorable shooting position and could calmly poke the ass of the ferocious beasts or war machines.

Other than the lack of ammunition and the deterioration of the performance of the Giant God Soldiers, there was one more reason-an avalanche!

Yes. In the current environment, an avalanche was a hundred times more deadly than thunder, storms, and tsunamis.

The snow on the snow mountain had accumulated for countless years. The ice crystals in many places had been frozen and compressed to the point that they were more solid than rocks. If the battle triggered an explosion and the explosion triggered an avalanche, billions of tons of ice crystals and rocks would roll down at the same time. The consequences would be dire. However, although Li Yao knew the consequences of triggering an avalanche, the ferocious beasts and war machines did not.

They were still crashing into each other above Li Yao’s head unscrupulously. They were yelling and yelling, unleashing dazzling electric arcs and fireballs.

Naturally, when a ferocious beast almost a hundred meters tall or a war machine weighing almost ten thousand tons collapsed, a series of small-scale avalanches would be triggered, too. Sometimes, the snow, ice, and rocks would roll down from above Li Yao’s head like a flood and brush past him. He was greatly shocked and soaked in cold sweat.

“Can’t you guys stop for a moment and wait until you’ve climbed to the top of the mountain before fighting? Do you have to create an earthshaking avalanche to be happy?”

Li Yao gnashed his teeth and screamed in his heart.

His words were like a spell that activated the mysterious force hidden deep inside the snow mountain.

The entire snow mountain suddenly started shaking.

It was not the scourge of the explosion on the surface of the snow mountain, but the uncontrollable quakes inside the mountain that seemed to be a chain reaction.

On the top of the snow mountain, the colorful clouds had been burnt into a raging crimson color at some point. Intense lead ash was spreading out like a tide and soon swallowed half of the sky, casting a suffocating shadow over the entire snow mountain.

It was the smoke from the depths of the volcano!

“Are you serious?”

Li Yao’s eyes bulged out as he mumbled to himself, “I can’t be so unlucky as to encounter a volcanic eruption that I haven’t seen in tens of thousands of years. Is this a coincidence, or

II

Hardly had the thought occurred to him when he heard an earsplitting explosion inside the snow mountain. He could vaguely smell the aftermath of an intense crystal bomb explosion.

It was not a coincidence.

It was very likely that the defenders had planted traps such as crystal bombs on the top of the snow mountain, or in other words, deep inside the volcano that had been dormant for hundreds of thousands of years or even millions of years. Once they exploded, it would immediately trigger a chain reaction that would infuriate the entire snow mountain and trigger a destructive avalanche that would bury all the enemies who dared to trespass!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The shaking in the depths of the snow mountain was getting more and more intense. The thunder was louder and louder, too. At first, it was just the abrupt changes of the clouds. But in the blink of an eye, an extremely thick pillar of smoke soared into the sky, mixed with scorching flames. Billions of tons of magma spurted out of the volcano and burnt the sky into a dazzling ocean of red lotuses. Then, it broke into pieces and smashed the earth like a storm of meteorites.
