Fang Yu's gaze did not fall on Empress Ziwei, who was his opponent.
Instead, he glanced sideways.
Settling on the huge block of ice, on that stunning figure and face within.
That was Xie Daoyun, known as the chief of the Five Great Divine Palaces, the Ice God! The strongest in the Supreme Heavenly Rank!
"Why?" Fang Yu murmured to himself.
Inside the block of ice.
Xie Daoyun's eyes were tranquil; her palm was pushed forward, the other hand laid flat above her Dan Tian. Clad in white, she stood amidst the snow like a lone wintersweet in bloom.
This was the starting pose for releasing the Dan Tian Essence.
Memories of Xie Daoyun had already fully returned in Fang Yu's mind...
"The Long Night is coming, and from this moment I stand on guard, until death takes me. I shall take no husband, hold no lands, depart not. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I shall give my life and honor for the Long Night, for this night and all nights to come."
