Volume 4: Super-Tier Awakening & The Ancient Capital Calamity
Chapter 313
Super Magic Test: Ice, Fire, and Lightning Dragon Slash
Violent blizzards howled across the desolate expanse, driving thick snow crystals like razor-sharp blades against the sheer rock faces. At six thousand meters above sea level on the summit of the Kunlun Mountains, the air was so thin that a cultivator at the elementary realm would have suffocated and coughed up blood. Yet, standing tall amidst the biting gales was a figure in black robes, unyielding and immovable like an ancient statue.
Lin Feng slowly retracted the divine consciousness essence he had just refined from the depths of the underground Sacred Pool. His breath remained steady, perfectly harmonized with the pulse of nature. The minus-forty-degree gale slashed across his skin, only to instantly vaporize into thin mist the moment it brushed his surface. His indestructible dragon physique, tempered through countless calamities and the primordial blood of ancient demonic beasts, had reached an unparalleled extreme. Without even needing to circulate protective combat Qi, the natural blood Qi within his body was enough to shatter any incoming pressure of heaven and earth.
His deep, unfathomable gaze swept forward. Exactly three miles away as the crow flies stood a colossal mountain peak piercing straight into the cloud layer, known to the world as the Ice Peak Precipice. This mountain had existed since primordial times, holding ten thousand years of glacial ice as hard as divine metal; even heavy magic armor-piercing artillery shells would leave only shallow dents upon its surface.
“This place... truly is an excellent testing ground to verify the might of my new technique.”
Lin Feng murmured, a faint, casual smile curving his lips. Ever since successfully fusing the three core magic elements, he had been searching for an opportunity to truly unleash his full power without intentionally holding back. His previous opponents were either too weak to force out his triple-element finishing blow, or the spatial confines were too cramped, distorting the destructive might of Super-tier magic. But at this moment, the desolate Kunlun summit and the boundless expanse of heaven and earth provided the ultimate stage.
He stepped forward. His stride looked weightless, yet every time his foot touched the ground, the entire expanse beneath him trembled violently. The three-mile distance vanished in the blink of an eye. Lin Feng stopped on a precarious crag jutting out over a ten-thousand-foot abyss. Below rolled a boundless sea of white clouds; above, the gloomy sky was being torn to shreds by the raging blizzard.
“This time, let’s see what kind of heaven-shaking, earth-shattering annihilation is born from the fusion of Extreme Ice, the Fire Dragon, and Annihilation Lightning.”
Lin Feng’s eyes instantly turned as sharp as sword light. He slowly lowered his hands to his sides, then whipped them upward into the sky!
RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!
Three muffled explosions echoed from the depths of the soul, shaking the thousand-mile sky and forcing the pitch-black clouds to scatter in all directions. Instantly, behind Lin Feng, space twisted crazily, materializing three magnificent, towering Star Palaces of supreme grandeur!
First was the Star Palace on the left—the Nine Dragons Flame Palace! Millions of blazing red star-points burned into the shapes of nine coiling, roaring fire dragons. The surging heat waves instantly vaporized the surrounding snow within a hundred-foot radius into columns of white steam, reducing them to absolute nothingness.
Next was the central Star Palace—the Annihilation Lightning Palace! Dense purple-black lightning arcs spread across the firmament like a spiderweb, emitting a chilling, bone-piercing crackle. Tendrils of electric current carrying the will of destruction danced above Lin Feng’s head, tearing the sky into millions of razor-sharp fragments.
Finally came the Star Palace on the right—the Primordial Extreme Ice! Dark indigo star-light condensed into countless sharp ice crystals, radiating a bone-chilling frost capable of freezing the flow of time itself. The appearance of this Star Palace stood in sharp contrast to the blazing inferno beside it, creating a bizarre pressure zone where the intersecting space warped so severely that pitch-black spatial fissures began to tear open.
Three major Star Palaces, three of the world’s supreme elemental energies, were now forcibly dragged together by Lin Feng’s supreme willpower.
“Triple Fusion Ultimate Strike...”
Lin Feng’s low voice rumbled, carrying the weight of a thousand tons that pressed down upon the Kunlun heights. He intertwined his ten fingers, forming a complex hand seal unprecedented in the history of continental magic.
“...Ice, Fire, and Lightning Dragon Slash!!”
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
As the final four words escaped his lips, the energy within the three Star Palaces erupted to their absolute limits. A rolling shockwave swept horizontally across the summit, kicking up blinding snow into a massive white sandstorm that swallowed Lin Feng’s figure whole.
At the eye of the storm, a colossal magic greatsword slowly condensed. This sword possessed no fixed metallic form; instead, it was the perfect fusion of the three most terrifying elemental foundations. Its length exceeded a hundred yards, standing majestically between heaven and earth like a pillar propping up the celestial court.
The sharpest blade edge concentrated at the tip, where billions of Primordial Extreme Ice crystals converged, radiating a cold indigo light capable of freezing an enemy’s soul with a single glance. The body of the blade was wrapped in a surging golden fire dragon, its blazing fiery scales carrying the power to incinerate all matter in its path. Meanwhile, the spine of the sword consisted of dense purple-black Annihilation Lightning currents racing from hilt to tip, occasionally emitting deafening, ear-piercing cracks as if eager to tear the Kunlun sky apart.
The mere existence of this greatsword threw the surrounding natural laws into chaos. The terrifying pressure crushing down from it caused the rock beneath Lin Feng’s feet to fracture into hundreds of deep fissures before directly turning into fine powder.
“Go!”
Lin Feng roared brilliantly, his right arm lashing forward as his finger pointed straight at the Ice Peak Precipice three miles away!
WHOOSH... CLANG!
A muffled sound echoed as space was sliced clean by the giant sword. There was no ordinary whistling wind, for the sword’s speed had surpassed the sound barrier. It charged forth like a giant scar tearing across the gray sky, trailing a long wake of mixed golden fire, purple electricity, and white frost.
The three-mile distance vanished in an instant.
The thousand-meter-tall Ice Peak Precipice stood imposingly before the seemingly small greatsword, which nevertheless harbored boundless destructive energy. Compared to the colossal mountain, the hundred-yard sword looked like a sewing needle, yet the pressure radiating from it caused the entire mountain to tremble. Tons of massive ice boulders began spontaneously fracturing before the tip of the sword even touched them.
And then... the moment of collision arrived in an eerie, bone-chilling silence.
CRACK-BOOM —— BOOM —— CRACKLE!
A heaven-shaking explosion erupted, rolling across hundreds of miles of overlapping mountain ranges, sending countless demonic beasts hiding in deep valleys scrambling in utter terror.
The light from the collision flashed brilliantly, like thousands of tiny suns detonating simultaneously atop the Kunlun summit, dyeing the entire western sky red. A spherical shockwave swept backward at supersonic speed, wiping out millions of tons of snow along the mountain slopes to trigger an unprecedented, terrifying avalanche.
Yet that was not all!
The greatsword bearing the will of the Ice, Fire, and Lightning Dragon Slash sliced straight through the Ice Peak Precipice without encountering the slightest resistance. The power of Extreme Ice froze the molecular structure of the glacial rock, making it as brittle as glass; the Annihilation Lightning obliterated all spiritual Qi and internal energy links within the mountain; while the Flame Dragon burned away everything else to ashes.
SCREEECH... RUMBLE, RUMBLE, RUMBLE!
The thousand-meter ice mountain that had stood majestically for ten thousand years suddenly froze for half a breath. Then, a mirror-smooth cut appeared from the peak, running straight down to the base. The entire right half of the Ice Peak Precipice slowly shifted, sliding down into the abyss amidst the violent roar of collapsing earth, rock, and ice.
The vast expanse of space shook violently as if undergoing a magnitude-twelve earthquake. Dust, steam, electric arcs, and ice shards intertwined to form a giant mushroom cloud shooting straight into the stratosphere, blocking out the sun.
Lin Feng stood tall amidst the swirling dust and snowstorm, his arms crossed over his chest, his expression utterly calm. He lowered his gaze to his palm, where traces of lingering purple electricity and the warmth of flames still lingered.
“This might... seems to have met the requirement.”
He muttered, feeling deeply satisfied. The Ice, Fire, and Lightning Dragon Slash not only consumed a massive amount of magic power but also demanded extremely delicate control over three distinct elemental systems. Without his indestructible dragon physique and monstrous spiritual power, any peak Super-tier mage attempting to fuse these three elements would suffer a backlash severe enough to shatter their meridians and cause instant death by qi deviation.
However, just as Lin Feng prepared to retract his momentum and leave, a flash of astonishment sparked in his eyes.
He raised his head to look at the sky, where the column of dust and chaotic energy had just cleared.
There, amidst the highest cloud layer of the Kunlun summit, space suddenly twisted into a small vortex. An ancient, profound, and overwhelmingly powerful pressure descended from the sky, suspending the surrounding ice debris mid-air.
Whoosh...
A figure slowly stepped out from the spatial vortex. It was an elder clad in pristine white Daoist robes, with silver hair and a beard cascading down to his chest. He possessed the immortal demeanor of a sage, and eyes as bright as stars in the night sky. The elder utilized no flight magical artifact whatsoever; instead, he simply stepped through the void, surrounded by automatically revolving halos of light.
The moment the elder manifested, his gaze locked instantly onto the Ice Peak Precipice three miles away, which was now sliced perfectly in half with a surface as smooth as a polished mirror. Seeing that pristine, effortless cut, the elder’s lips trembled violently, and his hands clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
He stared blankly at the destroyed ice mountain, then slowly turned his head, his terrified gaze sweeping across the surrounding terrain until it finally landed on Lin Feng standing atop the precarious crag.
“You... exactly what did you just do?!”
The elder’s voice was hoarse, carrying the undisguised tremor of someone who had just witnessed a god descend to the mortal realm. His aged body swayed in mid-air, barely managing to stand against the overwhelming mental shock.
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow, his deep gaze locking straight onto the uninvited elder who had just appeared, a meaningful smile curving the corner of his lips.
