Yusuf Zuck watched helplessly as Tyler Nash threw the Heavenly Dew Ice Pillar into the well. He was powerless because the position of his soul bead was inside the Heavenly Dew Ice Pillar, making it impossible for him to jump out!
After falling for an unknown length of time, the Heavenly Dew Ice Pillar finally landed at the bottom with a ’clang,’ and through the soul bead, through the Heavenly Dew Ice Pillar, Yusuf Zuck could only see a vast expanse of whiteness. Other than the blinding snowstorm, there was nothing else.
Indeed, he didn’t know where he was, but the heavy snow that smoked blocked his vision completely.
"Flame, come forth." Yusuf Zuck summoned a strand of green flame within the soul bead, stabbing fiercely at the Heavenly Dew Ice Pillar!
However, when the green flame touched the Heavenly Dew Ice Pillar, it disappeared silently as if it was also dissolved by the Heavenly Dew.
"Again." Yusuf Zuck frowned deeply, switching to the Purple Gold Flame.
But the Purple Gold Flame was even weaker and had no effect on the external Heavenly Dew Ice Pillar!
"What can I do now?" Yusuf Zuck was stunned. He couldn’t jump out, and the flames couldn’t melt the solid Heavenly Dew Ice Pillar. What method could he use to break through the pillar then?
"Gathering thoughts into Soldiers!" He refused to believe this was it and instantly transformed an Energy Light Cone, stabbing it towards the Heavenly Dew Ice Pillar.
With a "snap," the Energy Light Cone shattered to pieces the moment it touched the ice pillar! The source of thɪs content is novel·fire·net
"What in the world is this?" Yusuf Zuck was shocked. Fire didn’t work, neither did the Gathering thoughts into Soldiers’ light cone. What other methods did he have to break free from these shackles?
His heart sank, and he also had to admit that the Tyler Nash of now was no longer the Tyler Nash of the past; this man had found his path, gained fortune, and was transformed!
"Purification Light!" Moments later, two fierce and incandescent beams shot from his eyes.
"Humming sounds...." This time, the Heavenly Dew Ice Pillar began to quiver. The entire pillar shook incessantly, and it seemed as though it was loosening up.
"Continue." Yusuf Zuck was overjoyed, continuously launching beams of light from his eyes, even seeing them start to melt the Heavenly Dew Ice Pillar.
He released the Purification Light non-stop.
After two hours, he had expended a huge amount of spiritual power, yet the Heavenly Dew Ice Pillar had only melted into a hole the size of a fist. Moreover, as soon as his Purification Light stopped, the Heavenly Dew Ice Pillar would automatically reform.
Because of his tremendous expenditure, by the time he caught his breath, the fist-sized hole had also completely restored itself!
Yusuf Zuck almost spat blood. Although the Purification Light was effective, he still couldn’t break through the ice pillar, which restored itself just as much as he broke it.
If this cycle continued, it would tire him to death, and he still wouldn’t be able to break through the Heavenly Dew Ice Pillar.
"I can’t keep this up, or I’ll certainly die!" Yusuf Zuck decisively ceased using the Purification Light and considered other feasible methods.
"Right, my Purple Droplets, also known as the Dew of Merit—could they be effective?" Yusuf Zuck squinted his eyes. His Purple Droplets had undergone a qualitative transformation, turned into the Dew of Merit, carrying the Power of Merit, capable of reviving dead wood, granting spirits, transmuting stone to gold, and even transforming Demon Cultivator bloodlines.
"Hmm, let’s try it. It’s a last resort." Lacking any other options, Yusuf Zuck immediately flicked a Dew of Merit.
However, just as the Dew of Merit touched the external Heavenly Dew Ice Pillar, a miracle occurred instantaneously. It was as if a chemical reaction happened. The moment it contacted the Dew of Merit, it no longer solidified but turned into water with a swoosh, all falling to the ground. The ice pillar was no more!
Yusuf Zuck was shocked when he saw this scene and screamed excitedly.
"Swish—" He took a step forward!
But... but... just as he stepped forward, a sharp pain suddenly shot through his mind, a pain transmitted by the automatic expansion of the Book of Flame Fire. As he was momentarily stunned and just as he raised his arm, it snapped off and fell to the ground, shattering into pieces!
Yusuf Zuck was scared out of his wits and without thinking, he dove back into the soul bead!
It was too cold outside; so cold that he almost died in an instant.
"Polar region, level twelve polar region!" Yusuf Zuck’s scalp tingled. This was Tyler Nash’s adding fuel to the fire; he didn’t know if Yusuf Zuck was dead, since he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, but he had added an insurance by sending the ice pillar to this level twelve polar region. Therefore, even if Yusuf Zuck hadn’t died in the ice pillar, he couldn’t survive in this level twelve polar region.
Yusuf Zuck’s face was ugly, and at the same time, his severed arm began to regrow quickly.
Moreover, he saw the Heavenly Dew and the Power of Merit continuing to chemically react on the ground, turning all the Heavenly Dew purple, forming a puddle, a pool of purple water that, in this frozen world, was not frozen.
"No, no, when the Book of Flame Fire expanded automatically just now, that means... means there is one of the nine True Flames here!" Yusuf Zuck suddenly remembered the instant when he had stepped out, the moment the Book of Flame Fire had opened—a signal, a sign of the presence of an exotic flame nearby!
"In such a cold place, there is still a flame; could it be the third of the nine True Flames, the Cold Ice Bold Flame?" Yusuf Zuck suddenly raised his eyebrows. If it really was so, he must obtain this Cold Ice Bold Flame.
The Divine Skill corresponding to the Cold Ice Bold Flame is called ’Ice Seal Red Earth.’ The first two words ’Ice Seal’ explain the ability to use the Cold Ice Bold Flame to freeze enemies, objects, even space, and the world.
’Red’ can be interpreted as a color, but can also mean flame; red is fire, and ’Red Earth’ refers to the barren land scorched by flames, a wasteland.
Ice Seal Red Earth together means—chilling freeze, flaming burn, barren land!
"I must get it, I must get it, flame engulfs the body, double flame!" Inside the soul bead, Yusuf Zuck released both the Purple Gold Flame and the Black Wind Green Flame, enveloping and fiercely burning his body, turning him into a fiery figure.
At the same time, he jumped out again!
"Whoosh—" The Book of Flame Fire opened again, and indeed, he felt less cold, as his body was burning, thus temporarily resisting the cold.
"But this can’t last long, at most two minutes!" Yusuf Zuck suddenly realized that the flames on his body felt like they were about to be extinguished by the cold, unable to sustain anymore.
He knew that even with the exotic Green Flame, he could only last two minutes in such a place.
"Well, this Heavenly Dew and Power of Merit have merged, seeming to form a new chemical substance; I’ll collect it first, to study slowly later!" Yusuf Zuck flicked his fingers, and the puddle of purple liquid on the ground transformed into a water dragon and was sucked into his Space Ring.
Of course, just to be safe, he was afraid the Heavenly Dew would dissolve his ring, so he placed all of the purple liquid into a bronze cauldron, which he had obtained a few days ago from a killing, seemingly a ritual object, perfect for holding this purple liquid!
After collecting the purple liquid, he followed the sensing from the Book of Flame Fire and flew rapidly to the front left.
