"Hmm?"
Feeling the tremors beneath him, Lin San furrowed his brows.
"It's coming."
An immensely powerful aura erupted at that moment.
The Lord of Ice and Snow.
If his guess was correct, the master of this frozen land had arrived!
The Lord of Ice and Snow was a being with the strength of a God King.
Incredibly powerful.
Boom—
In the next moment, a colossal figure burst out of the snowy ground in front of Lin San!
Indeed, it was the one he expected!
Lin San's pupils narrowed as he saw the massive form of the Ice Snow Giant.
At that moment, he could clearly feel the immense power emanating from the giant's body.
It was indeed a creature of God King level strength, and even its mere presence was overwhelmingly oppressive.
"Human."
The Ice Snow Giant's gaze locked onto Lin San, and a suffocating pressure followed.
Boom—
A massive wave of snow and ice rushed toward Lin San!
But Lin San's body erupted with powerful flames, instantly melting the oncoming snow and ice before they could reach him.
They didn't even come close to affecting him.
"I only need an Ice Snowflake."
Lin San spoke calmly.
At that moment, he gripped Ye Fan's sword tightly.
No matter what, he was determined to obtain it!
"Impossible!!!"
"That is the treasure of this frozen land, only born once every thousand years. We will never give it to you!"
The surrounding creatures roared in fury.
Their eyes blazed with hatred, and they wished to tear Lin San apart.
Lin San's eyes narrowed, and the killing intent within them surged.
Now that he had reached the level of a God King, his power had reached its peak.
Killing the creatures around him would be an easy task.
If the Ice Snow Giant refused to hand over the Ice Snowflake, he wouldn't hesitate to kill it as well!
"King!"
The other divine beasts turned to the Ice Snow Giant, their gazes filled with concern.
The flames erupting from Lin San's body were so intense that they were melting the snow around them.
If they didn't drive him away or kill him soon, this entire frozen region might melt.
That would be a catastrophe for the creatures who thrived in the extreme cold.
At that moment, the Ice Snow Giant extended its right hand.
Lin San watched intently, his pupils narrowing again.
"Why do you need the Ice Snowflake?"
The Ice Snow Giant's voice rumbled as it spoke to Lin San.
Hearing the question, Lin San paused.
A moment of sadness flickered in his eyes, fleeting but visible.
"…"
He fell silent, not responding right away.
"Must you have it?"
The Ice Snow Giant asked again, its voice calm.
"Yes, I must."
Lin San's gaze was unwavering as he answered.
Even if it meant a fight to the death, he would get the Ice Snowflake!
In the next moment, a radiant, powerful snowflake appeared in the Ice Snow Giant's outstretched palm, glowing with a brilliant white light.
This was it!
A treasure that could only be born in this frozen land!
Lin San gripped Ye Fan's sword tightly, ready to act.
But then, the Ice Snowflake flew into Lin San's hand.
"What…?"
Lin San's eyes widened in surprise.
The snowflake, exuding a terrifying cold, made his hand feel as if it was freezing solid.
"Take it."
The voice of the Ice Snow Giant reached him.
As Lin San looked up, he realized that the Ice Snow Giant and the other creatures had all disappeared without a trace.
"Thank you."
Lin San stood there for a moment, then softly spoke as he gazed toward the frozen landscape ahead.
With a thought, he stored the Ice Snowflake away.
Now, he only needed one more item—then he would have everything he required.
The thought made Lin San feel a rush of excitement.
Without lingering any further, he vanished from the area.
…
Meanwhile, across the cities of the Martial God Realm, countless demon gods had begun their attack!
The entire Martial God Realm was now embroiled in war!
At the same time, in a location deep within the Demon Domain…
"The Divine Ferret Grass is with our king…"
Lin San lifted a demon god into the air with one hand.
The ground around him was littered with countless demon god corpses!
All had been slain by Lin San.
"Where is your king?"
Lin San asked the demon god coldly.
The Divine Ferret Grass.
It was the last divine plant he needed.
However, this plant was extremely rare and difficult to find.
He had heard rumors that it could be found somewhere in the Demon Domain.
"He… he went to the Martial God Realm!"
The Martial God Realm!?
Hearing this, Lin San furrowed his brows.
Was the demon king attacking other cities?
Just as Lin San considered this, the demon god's body began to swell.
"You will die!!!"
The demon god roared before exploding violently!
Boom—
A massive explosion rocked the area, and thick clouds of dust filled the air.
But as the dust settled, Lin San emerged unscathed.
The self-destruction attempt had no effect on him.
Such attacks were completely ineffective against someone of his power.
"The Divine Ferret Grass is with the demon god king."
"But which one?"
Lin San frowned, feeling a headache coming on.
This would be troublesome.
"Forget it. I'll find each of the demon god kings."
With that thought, Lin San shot up into the sky and flew off.
…
Martial God Realm, Hailan City.
Boom! Boom!
All across the city, fierce battles were taking place between powerful demon gods and Martial Gods.
The ground trembled under the force of their clashes.
The entire city was on the brink of collapse, nearly reduced to ruins from the impact of the battles.
"Damn it!"
"The Divine Emperor is still in slumber, and yet these demon gods dare to invade our Martial God Realm…"
After the last great war, both the Demon God Emperor and the Martial God Emperor had fallen into deep slumber.
