Chapter 612: Chapter 612

"Let’s hurry in, I can sense the dark power here growing stronger." Du You said gravely.

"Dark power?" Lin Yucha asked in confusion, neither of them could sense it.

Du You nodded seriously saying: "Yes, it’s dark power. It’s very subtle, which is why most people won’t notice it. I can sense it because of the abilities granted by my Night Body."

The Night Body skill was unusual, it can’t be obtained by converting crystal coins. This kind of skill was almost comparable to a powerful Dark Bloodline. Du You’s own dark power was incredibly pure, and he was able to feel the surrounding dark elements more clearly. That’s why he was able to sense the hidden dark element power beneath the water element.

"It’s not just the dark element, it seems that death power is also concealed within."

Death power often comes together with dark power, and many people even categorize the power of death within the dark attribute. But Du You knew that dark power and death power were completely different.

"Let’s hurry then." Lin Yushi urged.

The three quickened their pace and blatantly bypassed the two illusions at the entrance. Their high skill level gave them courage, so they didn’t think much before entering the hall. But as soon as they stepped in, Du You’s expression changed.

In this special environment, you cannot leave this world until you are allowed to leave.

Du You felt a chill, things seemed to be getting difficult now. The reason why Du You dared to venture around was that he could leave this world whenever he wanted, but he didn’t expect to be restricted here.

This was the first time Du You had encountered such a situation. In the past, only when he was in a state of battle could he not teleport or leave this world. This was the second type of barrier Du You found to hinder his departure.

"Welcome to our land." A deep voice suddenly rose from within the hall.

Du You and the others looked in that direction and saw a man covered in white magical beast fur slowly walking out. The man’s hands and feet were very thick, similar to a wild man. But the icy aura surrounding him was particularly strong. As soon as he came out, Du You felt that the entire environment seemed to be worshipping the man in front of him.

"Who are you, and why did you know we were coming?" Du You said cautiously, while simultaneously instructing the undead ape to come to his side. The three of them hid behind the undead ape, ready to fight at any moment.

"Brave warriors, no need to be so cautious, you can call me Snow Emperor."

"You are the Snow Emperor? Wait, what’s going on with this city, why can only you see us."

The Snow Emperor’s face changed slightly. It was no small matter to make him change his expression.

"Three brave warriors, please hear me out. I am indeed the Snow Emperor. Many years ago, I ruled the entire world, becoming the strongest existence. But then I discovered that this world had shackled all the living beings. Once I reached the fifth level limit, I could not break through anymore, which left me in despair."

"Later, a group of people from the north told me about a prophecy from their region, and taught me a ritual. They said that by using this ritual, I could break free from the shackles of this world." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝕟𝕖𝕥

"Did you believe that? Even a three-year-old kid wouldn’t fall for such a lame scam."

A flash of hatred crossed the Snow Emperor’s face: "I was desperate at the time, and I believed them. I gathered the power of the entire world and performed the ritual. But as the ritual began, I realized I was wrong, they wanted to turn me into an undead and control me using a special method to control the whole world."

The Snow Emperor’s voice got darker, "I am the ruler of Crystal Icefield, how could they control me and harm my people. So at the last moment, I sacrificed my life and cast a Forbidden Skill."

At this point, the Snow Emperor looked at Du You and the others wistfully, "At that time, I sealed the entire mountain range along with its surroundings. Everyone nearby died due to this Forbidden Skill. But those Undead from the north who wanted to control me did not escape either. I knew that the only person who truly threatened this world was me."

"So I completely sealed myself, hoping that one day a brave warrior would come to destroy my body and eliminate this threat. Within my seal, the transformation of my body couldn’t be stopped, but the speed was reduced to the minimum."

"Even so, my body is still continuously transforming, and sooner or later it will become the biggest threat to this world. Before you came here, there have already been three brave warriors who came here."

With a puzzled face, Du You asked: "Three? Did they all fail?"

The Snow Emperor nodded, "Yes, they all failed. My seal becomes stronger with increasing strength of the visitors, this is to prevent them from using me for their benefits. If one is not strong enough, they can’t do anything to my body, the only choice is to destroy it. If they do not destroy my body, they will die here, so you must do this."

"Tough choice, we either die or destroy your body, we don’t even have the option to choose." Du You glanced behind him, he had already tried, there was no way to get out of there.

"Haha, the first warrior who entered was only level 1, he almost fulfilled my wish. The second warrior was also of level 1, but by that time my body had reached level 2. Later, there was a warrior who managed to reach level 2, but still wasn’t a match for my body. If you had arrived a little later, my body would have upgraded to level 3."

"So it means, even if we leave you alone, it would take many years for you to reach level 5 and step outside again."

Snow Emperor shook his head, "No, the stronger my body becomes, the faster it regains its strength. If you all fail today, at most in a hundred or two hundred years, I will recover to the peak of level 5. At that time, my army will also be revived and start destroying the world. I plead you, you must obliterate my body."

The Snow Emperor looked sincere, and he bowed to Du You. A king who could do so much for his people, it was impossible for Du You not to be moved.

"As they say, you are indeed a very great king."

Even though Du You said so, he was still suspicious deep down. Who knows if the Snow Emperor’s words were true or false. It was also possible that he could be deceiving them for some other purpose. It was right to be a little cautious.
