Chapter 152 Fighting a 100,000-Year-Old Kunpeng, the Highest Domain of Ice.
"Brother Jiang Nian, you're acting strange today."
"Really?"
"Yeah, you seem distracted."
Jiang Nian stared at Qing Yu's vertical pupils, shook his head, and smiled.
He put a piece of food in her bowl and made up an excuse to get rid of her.
Fortunately, the three girls trusted him and ate their fill without thinking too much, then went back to their bedroom to sleep.
Jiang Nian stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the distant ocean. The calm waves rolled and rolled, seemingly without anything unusual.
In the sky, the six stars of the Southern Dipper shone brightly until they connected in a straight line, and his heart couldn't help but pound.
The once calm seawater suddenly gasped.
A huge abyss appeared out of thin air. Jiang Nian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he spread his wings and flew towards the source of the anomaly.
Besides him, it seemed that many sea spirit beasts had also sensed something and were frantically swimming from the center of the ocean.
Jiang Nian stood in the sky, looking at the spatial vortex below, and he felt the vast spatial power.
At this moment, both Soul Saints and Title Douluos appeared incredibly small.
It was as if this place connected to another world.
The light of the six stars of the Southern Dipper fell upon Jiang Nian, his martial soul radiating a mysterious aura as it slowly rotated.
"Woo~"
A sound like a whale's cry rang out. Jiang Nian looked up, his brows furrowing slightly.
A gigantic head emerged from the ocean, with a pair of wings growing from its back; one might mistake it for a flying beast.
Its aura was immense, far surpassing that of ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.
"One hundred thousand years... This is... a Kun?"
Jiang Nian banished the image of Kun Kun from his mind, immediately thinking of the Kun Kun from Zhuangzi's "Free and Easy Wandering."
"In the Northern Sea there is a fish, its name is Kun. The Kun is so large, a pot..."
"Pah! Pah!
Pah!" It transformed into a bird, named Peng.
It seems this Kun is already showing signs of evolving into a great Peng.
The man and beast stared at each other, Jiang Nian holding the Heavenly Dao Umbrella, showing no sign of backing down.
The Kun also glanced at him disdainfully, its gaze fixed on the thing in the dark abyss.
A moment later, an aura of deathly stillness and annihilation instantly enveloped the surrounding thousand miles, and a feeling of despair began to spread in his mind.
Jiang Nian's face turned deathly pale, and he suddenly found it difficult to breathe.
Looking at the Kun, he was so shocked that his consciousness almost snapped.
Jiang Nian had experienced death once, but compared to the fear this abyss instilled in him, death was perhaps nothing.
Whoosh!
A pitch-black ancient book flew out, and before Jiang Nian could react, it crashed into his arms.
Then, it connected with his soul.
The momentary pain ended, and he stood there, somewhat stunned.
Wasn't it... this easy?
Why does it feel like all of this was arranged by someone?!
This thing seems to have been waiting for me to come.
Jiang Nian silently watched Kun Kun regain consciousness. It stared with its already small eyes, seemingly questioning its existence.
Then, it roared in anger.
With a howl, the entire sea surged with towering waves, as if to keep Jiang Nian there.
"Suddenly, I feel like Brother Kun Kun, you've been set up..."
"Your spirit ring perfectly matches my martial soul..."
Although the adorable Kun Kun hadn't completely transformed into a bird, it already possessed wind attributes.
If he were to return to his timeline, it might not be so easy to find.
Jiang Nian stopped thinking about it, holding the Heavenly Dao Umbrella, preparing to fight it in the ocean.
A hundred-thousand-year-old spirit beast was indeed terrifying, especially in the ocean. If an ordinary Title Douluo encountered one, it would undoubtedly be suicide.
Although he was level 70, he hadn't yet activated his spirit rings.
He wasn't sure if he could defeat this spirit beast.
The Heavenly Umbrella spun rapidly from Jiang Nian's hand, as if the heavens were helping him, rolling a six at the start.
"Seven Kills, Winter Solstice!"
A chill swept in from all directions, and a thick layer of ice quickly formed on the sea. Kun Kun sensed something was wrong and looked down. An ice dragon, seemingly out of nowhere, coiled around its body, its claws piercing bones, blood flowing freely.
The Ice Dragon King spirit ring beneath Jiang Nian's feet glowed faintly, and an even stronger blizzard followed, with ice spikes dozens of meters long raining down from the sky, frantically piercing its body.
"Awooo!!!"
Kun Kun felt immense pain, trying to roll over, but it couldn't.
The seawater around it had already frozen solid, and it didn't know how long it would take to thaw again.
Its proud water control ability was completely useless against Jiang Nian.
Suddenly, it felt a bit frustrated.
Crack!
Its tail lashed out from the ice, about to strike Jiang Nian, when a mysterious halo expanded outwards.
"Time Stop."
Kun Kun's thoughts froze, and everything in this space was affected by time.
Jiang Nian raised his hand, summoning lightning, and plunged the Heavenly Dao Umbrella deep into its head.
Flames and lightning, these two violent energies, poured in wildly.
There was no scream, no resistance.
Five seconds later, Kun Kun regained consciousness, the pain instantly flooding its brain; its body trembled violently, and its aura rapidly weakened.
Jiang Nian seized this opportunity to continue his attack, unleashing his Soul Bone skills without restraint—lightning, flames, ice spikes… every skill capable of causing damage struck it.
"Huff… the Soul Beast's vitality is a bit excessive…"
Jiang Nian wiped the sweat from his brow, gritted his teeth, and activated Time Stop one last time.
Holding the Heavenly Dao Umbrella, he used up his remaining Soul Power, then quickly swallowed the Soul Power Restoration Pill he had hidden in his mouth beforehand.
"Six o'clock..."
Jiang Nian took a deep breath, secretly marveling at his incredible luck today.
It was a pity he was only a Soul Emperor.
If he had his seventh Soul Ring, things wouldn't be so complicated.
The Kunpeng's vitality was truly tenacious; if he hadn't killed it today, who knew how strong it would be in 30,000 years...
Jiang Nian stopped thinking about it. At this moment, the Heavenly Dao Umbrella emitted an icy blue divine light, its every movement and sound manipulating the world's climate.
The snow fell heavier and heavier.
It was almost the height of summer, yet a once-in-a-century snowfall had occurred.
Within a hundred miles, the north wind howled, and the temperature plummeted.
Jiang Nian gripped the umbrella handle, his hair turning white in an instant, his pupils transforming into icy blue.
His long hair flowing, he rode the ice dragon formed from ice elements beneath his feet, his lips moving slightly.
"Winter Begins, Minor Snow, Major Snow, Winter Solstice, Minor Cold, Major Cold..."
With each word uttered, the cold intensified exponentially.
At this moment, the temperature around Jiang Nian was approaching a critical point.
That was a temperature powerful enough to freeze time itself…
"Seven Kills, Winter!"
"Absolute Zero!"
Hiss!
The space before Jiang Nian was distorted and shattered.
It froze like a net.
Kun Kun's consciousness gradually blurred; the chill seeped into its internal organs, and its soul was also affected by this power. It tried to struggle, but it was all in vain…
Thus, it would forever slumber, and the world would never see Kun Peng again.
