Chapter 482 Watch On

"Who might you be, sir? We should never have met before, let alone bear any enmity. I presume your current appearance is a disguise, not your true face? With your level of cultivation, yet you dare not show your real form, I wonder what scheme you are plotting?" Xiao Jinhan turned his gaze to Hu Yan and asked slowly.

Hearing Xiao Jinhan's words, the others present also shifted their expressions, looking at Hu Yan and Yun Ni beside him. Some eyes flickered with suspicion.

Hu Yan's expression remained unchanged. He let out a snicker but did not intend to reply.

"Fellow Daoists, Xiao Jinhan is at the end of his rope. Do not be swayed by his words; he is stalling for time!" the white-haired old crone of the Nanli tribe suddenly spoke, her voice shrill and grating.

"Indeed, let us all attack together and slay him completely. If he escapes, though the Northern Cold Immortal Domain is vast, there will be no place for us to hide!" Feng Tiandu's eyes also flashed, and he shouted in a deep voice.

At these words, everyone's heart tightened, and the killing intent in their eyes unconsciously intensified.

Feng Tiandu took a deep breath, formed a hand seal with one hand, and black light burst from his body, spreading rumblingly outward, instantly forming a black spirit domain fifty or sixty li in size, enveloping Xiao Jinhan.

A powerful law of confinement radiated, and everything within the domain was locked in place, unable to move.

Caught off guard, Hu Yan and the others also felt their bodies tighten, as if bound by invisible forces, making even slight movement difficult, and the circulation of their immortal spiritual power extremely arduous.

But this sensation vanished in the blink of an eye. As everyone's hearts relaxed, they looked at Feng Tiandu with a hint of wariness in their eyes.

Han Li's cave was far from the battlefield and was not affected by the black spirit domain, but he could still feel the waves of law fluctuations emanating from it.

"This spirit domain seems even larger than Qu Ling's," he mused inwardly.

The area of a spirit domain is also an important indicator of a cultivator's strength; thus, Feng Tiandu appeared to be even more powerful than Qu Ling.

Enveloped by Feng Tiandu's black spirit domain, the white light on Xiao Jinhan's body dimmed, and the light inside the white ice sphere fluctuated and weakened considerably.

At the same time, the several black chains that had already dimmed suddenly brightened, as if resonating with the black spirit domain, and the confinement law within them stirred again.

Xiao Jinhan's expression turned somewhat grim.

Seeing this, the others present also made their moves.

Qi Tianxiao's body radiated gray light, spreading outward, instantly forming a grayish spirit domain.

Compared to Feng Tiandu's domain, this gray spirit domain was much smaller, and the gray light carried a hint of withered yellow, filled with a pungent rotting smell.

Within the domain, the void rippled with visible waves, as if being corroded.

This layer of spirit domain quickly spread, covering Xiao Jinhan and the others, but aside from Xiao Jinhan, the rest were naturally unaffected.

This was partly because the master of the domain could control the law power within it at will, not affecting their companions, and partly because their cultivation was still weaker than Feng Tiandu's, so the others, on guard, had also activated their own law power for protection.

Almost simultaneously, Hu Yan's eyes flickered, and he formed a hand seal. Red light burst from his body, revealing clusters of crimson flames that blazed fiercely.

With a crackling sound, the crimson light erupted, spreading outward to form a flame spirit domain, also enveloping Xiao Jinhan.

The white-haired old crone of the Nanli tribe waved her golden staff, and a red light emanated from her body, spreading outward to form another flame spirit domain, descending upon Xiao Jinhan.

Apart from these four, the other Golden Immortals did not activate any spirit domains but instead offered up their immortal artifacts and spirit treasures, converging into a massive torrent of immortal artifacts that crashed toward Xiao Jinhan.

Already trapped, Xiao Jinhan, now affected by four spirit domains simultaneously, his expression turned grave, and the spiritual light on his body dissipated by half.

Yet, facing attacks from all directions, he showed no fear. White light swirled in his eyes, forming two white vortexes that spun rapidly.

A dense white light emerged from his body, spreading outward, quickly forming a white spirit domain whose area was even slightly larger than Feng Tiandu's.

Within the domain, white winds howled, snowflakes danced, and the air was filled with an intensely cold, piercing aura.

Enveloped by the white spirit domain, Feng Tiandu and the others trembled, their teeth chattering. Their bodies, immortal spiritual power, and even souls were frozen by a strange, extreme cold.

Feng Tiandu and the other Golden Immortals circulated their law power within, wrapping around their bodies, partially resisting this extreme cold law.

But the True Immortal cultivators fared poorly. White light flashed on their bodies, forming a layer of white ice crystals, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into ice sculptures.

The incoming spirit treasures and immortal artifacts also became coated with white ice crystals, freezing into blocks of ice. Except for those of the Golden Immortals, all lost their spiritual nature and fell.

Facing Xiao Jinhan's spirit domain, the True Immortals of the Fuling Sect, though frozen into ice sculptures, had a layer of protective spiritual light on their bodies. Though severely injured, they seemed not to be in mortal danger. The Nanli tribe's True Immortals, however, were slightly weaker. One of the weakest True Immortals was directly frozen to death, his nascent soul also trapped within, thus perishing.

The white-haired old crone's expression changed. She waved her hand, emitting a red light that enveloped the other True Immortals and shot them out of the domain.

Feng Tiandu also flicked his sleeve, and a black light wrapped around the Fuling Sect's True Immortals, sending them out.

In this kind of high-level competition between spirit domain laws, numbers were almost meaningless.

All this happened in the blink of an eye. The immortal artifacts offered by the other Golden Immortals also had a layer of white ice crystals on their surfaces, their speed and power greatly reduced, but they still shot toward Xiao Jinhan.

Rumble!

Several immortal artifacts struck the white ice sphere around Xiao Jinhan. The sphere shook slightly but withstood the assault.

Ignoring the outside situation, Xiao Jinhan muttered incantations, spiritual light flickering in his eyes. Seven or eight white crystal threads materialized before him, then flew out, not attacking Feng Tiandu and the others, but instead wrapping around those black chains.

A layer of white light immediately appeared on the black chains, once again suppressing the confinement law power within.

Xiao Jinhan grabbed the black chains with both hands and pulled hard.

With a clanking sound, the black chains were pulled out.

Once the black chains left his body, Xiao Jinhan's complexion improved considerably.

"As expected of the Northern Cold Immortal Palace Lord. Even under the influence of four spirit domains, you can still break free from my Separation Yuan Law Chains. But no matter how stubbornly you resist, you are doomed to die today!" Feng Tiandu sneered, beckoning with one hand. The several black chains shot back and disappeared into his sleeve.

At the same time, he raised his other arm, spreading the five fingers of his hand.

Instantly, with a puff, five beams of black light shot from his fingertips.

The black light within the domain immediately rolled and converged, merging into the beams.

The five beams of black light swelled in the wind, growing several times larger, and with a rumble, they merged into a black vortex several zhang in size, spinning madly.

A powerful law force emanated from the vortex, alarming to the heart.

Feng Tiandu let out a low shout and pointed with one hand at the black vortex.

The black vortex immediately spun and shot out, extremely fast, appearing before Xiao Jinhan in a blur.

The black vortex suddenly expanded and contracted, then violently exploded.

A hissing sound arose as the vortex turned into countless black beams that shot out, striking the white ice sphere around Xiao Jinhan.

At the same time, behind Xiao Jinhan, gray light flickered, and a house-sized grayish giant palm materialized. The palm radiated withered yellow light, exuding a strong corrosive aura, and slammed down fiercely.

The owner of the giant palm was none other than Qi Tianxiao, whose figure had appeared behind Xiao Jinhan without anyone noticing, his expression stern.

Almost simultaneously, red light flickered in the void to Xiao Jinhan's left and right. Hu Yan and the white-haired old crone appeared on either side, wielding a crimson giant sword and a flaming dragon shadow respectively.

Both emitted intense flame law fluctuations, striking the white ice sphere.

Rumble!

The four attacks hit the white ice sphere almost simultaneously. Countless cracks appeared on the sphere, and it exploded, but was immediately engulfed by towering black, gray, and red light.

With a whoosh!

A figure shot out from the light—it was Xiao Jinhan. However, his clothes were torn, half his body was bloodied, and he looked extremely disheveled.

But at that moment, ripples appeared before him, and another black vortex materialized, like a black mouth, instantly ensnaring his body.

Xiao Jinhan's fleeing figure immediately halted, and he involuntarily spun with the black vortex.

"I told you, you are doomed to die today!" A figure flickered, and Feng Tiandu's form appeared in front of him out of thin air. He waved his hand.

Hum!

A huge black sword shadow shot from his hand, radiating cold sword light, and slashed down at Xiao Jinhan's head.

With a thud, Xiao Jinhan's body was cleaved cleanly in two.

"Oh dear, this silver beard is really pitiful, still got taken out. His nascent soul should still be there; don't waste it. I'll go grab it," said Gold Boy in the distant cave, moving to fly out.

"Don't go." Han Li's eyes flashed with blue light. He shot out a hand like lightning, grabbing Gold Boy's upright golden little braid.

"Hey, didn't we agree that the Golden Immortal's nascent soul belongs to me?" Gold Boy muttered somewhat puzzled, trying to break free from Han Li, but Han Li's arm remained unmoving.

"Don't rush. Watch on; the real show is just beginning," Han Li said slowly.

...

In the valley, Feng Tiandu looked at Xiao Jinhan's bisected remains, a smile appearing on his face, but the next moment, the smile vanished.

From Xiao Jinhan's severed body, no nascent soul flew out. Instead, with a flash of white light, it transformed into two pieces of crystalline white ice sculpture.

With a clatter, the ice sculptures shattered, turning into specks of white light that merged into the surrounding white spirit domain.
