"This Lucien is truly worthy of being the Moonfall Clan's Holy Son."

"I have never seen a technique like this before."

"It's infinitely variable and can even condense into clones."

"If that frost breath were to spread, any of us touching it would have our vitality frozen and die on the spot."

"This Ethan is incredibly fierce too."

"To possess such strong combat power and such a formidable Divine Artifact. It's a pity he ran into Lucien."

"If he were allowed to cultivate for a few more decades, even Lucien might not be his match."

"A pity indeed, but one must always pay the price for youthful arrogance."

"By daring to provoke the Moonfall Clan, he should have already prepared himself for death."

"This Ethan was the Riverborn Clan's reinforcement. Now that he has been taken down, the Riverborn Clan is in grave peril."

"These matters are beyond our control. Notify our sects to prepare for evacuation from the White North Ice Field."

"If the other Ancient Clans do not step in, relying solely on that woman and the two Perfect Supremes of unknown origin might not be enough to save the Riverborn Clan."

"Once the Riverborn Clan falls, the balance of the White North Ice Field will be broken. The wildly ambitious Moonfall Clan will not spare any faction."

"The Moonfall Clan's ambitions are known to everyone, but you and I are merely ordinary Supremes. We are completely powerless to change the situation. The skies over the White North Ice Field are about to change," someone sighed heavily.

Watching the scene unfold, the Silvermere Clan's Great Elder clenched his fists. "Did Lucien still win in the end?"

"Great Elder, our clan's experts will be arriving shortly. Several other clans have also dispatched their people, but they will arrive a bit later," the woman beside him reminded him.

"We can only pin our hopes on Princess Liora now."

"It all depends on whether she will forcefully intervene to protect the Riverborn Clan."

"If she steps in, the Moonfall Clan wouldn't dare to do anything to her," the Great Elder said, glancing toward Liora.

"Ahahaha, truly worthy of my son."

"Beautifully done, strike while the iron is hot. Cripple this Ethan and seize his Divine Artifact."

Glacien burst into hearty laughter, acting as if victory was already secured.

"Truly worthy of our clan's Holy Son. Among his peers, who can possibly compete with him?" Wilford laughed excitedly.

Meanwhile, inside the ice.

"This Holy Son of the Moonfall Clan is truly a once-in-a-millennium genius."

"My current realm is still slightly lacking. Trying to cross such a massive realm gap to kill a super heaven-chosen at the Perfect Supreme level, even with the God Killing Spear, won't be easy."

Though frozen by icy divine power and tightly bound, Ethan's actual condition was perfectly normal.

He remained entirely calm and unhurried.

He glanced at his arm.

The icy power continuously pierced through his skin, attempting to invade his body and freeze his meridians and muscles.

It was completely incinerated into nothingness by his fiery divine power and star power.

This first move was indeed very strong. Even capable of materializing clones possessing nearly eighty percent of the main body's strength.

But if Lucien wanted to defeat him in his current state, it was still lacking.

"Come, Lucien." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Ethan's gaze fell upon Lucien below.

Lucien seemed to notice something was wrong, his expression shifted.

"The icy divine power actually can't break through his physical defense."

"Is this kid even human? How can his physical strength reach such a level?" His face turned ugly. His fists clenched.

He raised his palm. A pale blue long spear engraved with horned dragon patterns appeared in his hand.

The moment it appeared, the icy divine power within Lucien's body grew even stronger. A powerful divine might permeated the air alongside it.

This blue dragon-patterned long spear was also a Divine Artifact, but compared to the God Killing Spear, it was far inferior.

"Oh ho, a Divine Artifact, high-grade?"

"As expected of an Ancient Clan."

The corners of Ethan's mouth curled up slightly.

Lucien leaped into the air and charged without hesitation, spear leveled. His spear intent skyrocketed as icy divine power wrapped around it, thrusting straight toward Ethan's dantian.

Since the clones couldn't break Ethan's defense, he would do it himself.

The long spear was a High-grade Divine Artifact, the Hornless Dragon's Ice-Sundering Spear.

Combined with his own terrifying strength, it could absolutely pierce through Ethan in a single strike.

No matter how tough his physical body was, it wouldn't block the sharp edge of the Hornless Dragon's Ice-Sundering Spear.

Not even Divine Artifact-level armor would save him.

Lucien stepped onto the ribbons condensed from his icy divine power. They pulled taut, forming a bridge of ice.

He sprinted across it, dragging his long spear along the surface. It carved a deep trench as ice shards scattered with a sharp, grating sound.

"Bring it on."

The corners of Ethan's mouth curved up.

With a thought, fiery divine power pulsed wildly through his acupoints, rapidly flowing into his limbs and bones.

Star power surged out immediately after.

"The Secret Technique of the Stars, Supreme Prisoner's Heavenly Lock." Ethan chanted silently.

The stars answered his call, golden radiance shed downward as golden mist silently converged in the night sky above.

The Heart of Hibiscus on Ethan's right side beat steadily. Every pump sent out tidal waves of surging power.

As a body cultivator whose defining trait was endurance, with the enhancement of the Hibiscus Heart, it was like a fish finding water.

The consumption of a battle at this level was undoubtedly massive, but the Hibiscus Heart replenished his lost stamina every single moment.

Under these conditions, it practically formed a terrifying perpetual motion mode.

Scorching divine power slowly permeated outward, burning through the hard ice encasing his body.

Lucien, still charging, vaguely sensed something was wrong.

He focused his gaze, the ice layer on Ethan's body was actually melting, wisps of steam floated up from the surface.

"How is this possible?"

"He can actually break through the Thirteenth Record of the Emperor Form Diagram?"

"This is absolutely impossible." Lucien stared at the rapidly melting ice, his eyes filled with astonishment.

He could clearly sense the temperature of the surrounding space skyrocketing.

Ethan's Original Spiritual Fire was incomparably scorching. In just a few breaths, it completely melted the ice from his body.

At the same time, cracks appeared on the hard ice encasing the God Killing spear, and the solidified murderous aura burst forth from within.
