Above the vast sky, there is a dead silence, no stars twinkling, nor warm sunlight shining.
The world is terrifyingly quiet, and before one's eyes are towering mountains made of black ice and frost. The bone-chilling cold surges from all directions. If an ordinary mortal were to come here, they would likely be frozen into an ice sculpture in the blink of an eye.
"Hmm, where is this place?"
This sudden change even surprised Fang Yuan. He never expected that there was a hidden world inside Belober's body!
"I see now. No wonder I couldn't find his true body before..."
Fang Yuan immediately understood. It seems that Belober's true body had been hiding here all along.
By hiding in another space, even with the Eye of Calamity, it would be impossible to find him.
"Welcome to the Eternal Frozen Abyss!"
At this moment, Belober's cold voice echoed from all directions, his tone returning to its previous calmness: "Invader, this place will be your burial ground!"
Once again, the voice was heard without the presence of the person. It seemed that Belober had... likely escaped into the real world.
The ability to travel freely between two worlds, such a divine ability is quite convenient.
Originally, Fang Yuan thought he was just a monk, but now it seems he's more like Obito from Uchiha, hmm... Fang Yuan couldn't help but feel a bit envious.
"Is this how the strongest in your icy plains behave? Always avoiding battle?" Fang Yuan calmed his mind and chuckled: "Come out and die!"
"Die? Do you take me for a fool?" Belober's voice carried a hint of amusement. "Your taunts are useless. It would be better for me to trap you alive here, wouldn't it?"
"But don't worry, since you like to fight so much, I'll arrange an even stronger opponent for you."
"Let's see how long you can last in this small world... Hahaha!"
With Belober's maniacal laughter, the cold, bone-chilling world once again fell into dead silence. It was clear that the opponent had already left.
"Less than three minutes in, and I could still use the Time-Space Reversal to leave this world, but if I leave, that guy might just retreat again."
Fang Yuan pondered silently, analyzing the situation at hand:
"At this rate, I can't do anything to this bastard. A good battle has turned into a game of hide-and-seek..."
"Right, here... can I still use teleportation?"
Fang Yuan quickly focused his mind and sensed, immediately discovering that the [Teleportation] ability was available!
"Even in this foreign space, it works. That's good news. In that case, let's go with this plan."
Fang Yuan made a quick decision, abandoning the idea of using Time-Space Reversal. After all, he could leave anytime, so there was no rush.
Moreover, he was curious about this mysterious space. What kind of stronger opponent did Belober mean?
It sounded like there was a great fortune to be had here, so there was even less reason to leave!
With a tap of his toes, Fang Yuan chose a direction at random and flew off.
...
In the real world, within Ye Sai Fortress, Belober appeared weary, his figure slowly descending from the sky.
Opening the Eternal Frozen Abyss portal consumed a huge amount of energy and would lead him into a period of weakness, but he felt that it was all worth it.
He hadn't planned on using this trump card, but the enemy was too tricky, and none of his other techniques worked, so he had to resort to this desperate measure.
The power he controlled over this alternate space, rather than being a divine ability, was more like a curse.
The area known as the "Eternal Frozen Abyss" was not truly a different world but a space treasure shaped like a prison, where an ancient demon god, the Flame Demon Narros, was imprisoned.
Belober was the key to this prison.
Belober was originally a descendant of the ancient "Frost Masters" tribe. For generations, their tribe had guarded the seal of the Flame Demon in the "Eternal Frozen Abyss."
However, due to an accident, Belober's elder brother was corrupted by the Flame Demon, and in a loss of control, destroyed the entire tribe. In order to stop his brother, Belober was forced to fuse with the [Eternal Frozen Abyss], gaining the power of the Black Abyss, and successfully resealed the Flame Demon.
Since then, Belober had gained control over the power of the [Eternal Frozen Abyss], and his body became a gateway to this abyss.
In battle, he could conceal himself within the [Eternal Frozen Abyss], and with this move, he was nearly invincible.
Furthermore, anyone who touched his body would be dragged into the Abyss.
Those unlucky enough to be trapped in the [Eternal Frozen Abyss] would face an enemy even more terrifying than Belober: the Flame Demon Narros.
Over the past thousand years, with this trump card, Belober had sealed countless powerful enemies, and not a single one had ever escaped from the abyss.
This time, he was confident it would be no different.
"With the Flame Demon making a move, I have nothing to worry about..." Belober shook his head lightly as he landed in front of Xiya. With a casual wave of his hand, the sky was instantly filled with black ice and thick darkness, dissipating like an illusion.
The sky suddenly cleared, and sunlight once again shone upon the capital of the Ice Plain Kingdom.
"Ha, ha..." Xiya gasped for breath, the intense feeling of having survived a catastrophe overwhelming her. She never imagined she would make it out alive!
Her dark god master... truly powerful!
"Thank you, my lord..." Xiya bowed in gratitude to Belober.
"It's nothing," Belober replied nonchalantly, "Anyone who dares to invade my Ice Plains must pay the corresponding price."
With Fang Yuan's disappearance, the previously entrapped Zhuangyang Marquis and Sena also awoke from the illusion and broke free from their bindings.
Both looked at the black god Belober in fear, their eyes filled with awe.
The young man who had forcefully broken into Ye Sai Fortress, displaying terrifying strength capable of overwhelming them, had rendered them helpless with a single glance, as if they were lambs awaiting slaughter.
And yet, this incredibly powerful opponent had been defeated by Belober!
It even looked as though Belober hadn't suffered a scratch!
This battle had made Belober's image in their eyes... even more profound.
"With the strength of the Black God, he might even be a bit stronger than His Majesty!" Zhuangyang Marquis silently marveled, full of shock.
"Cooperating with the Ice Plains was truly a wise decision for our Mist Pavilion!" Sena quickly thought, no longer hesitating.
As for Belober, his expression remained gloomy. Though he had defeated the strong enemy, his own Grand Master was dead, and the Emperor had been slaughtered. This battle could only be considered a bitter victory.
Fury burned within him, and he ordered loudly: "Send word to use all Ice Plain spies, and investigate the origins of that boy, which faction he belongs to!"
"I will make him pay a painful price!"
