novelIt's Not That He's Weak, But Rather You're Strong!

BOOM!
Some restrictive spell seemed to explode in the thick frosty mist.
Teng Yue, who practiced earth power, suddenly discovered that the frigid aura that was madly pouring into his domain somehow started to retreat like the falling tide."This is..."
Soon, his grayish-yellow earth domain unfroze, and he recovered his mobility.
The thick ice Nie Tian was trapped in also cracked before suddenly exploding, filling his surroundings with sparkling icy light that rapidly dissipated.
Everyone felt a strong sense of relief.
This entire area that had been frozen under the joint efforts of the Frigid Ice Divine Kingdom and the Gelid Heavenly Ice Sword rapidly unfroze.
The key to this was Yin Xingtian's broken bronze sword: Heavenbreaker!
As soon as it was taken out, all restrictive spells and sealing wards were shredded. Even the heavens seemed to be broken.
Its sword intent flew forward like a streak of light that extended hundreds of kilometers before piercing into the Frigid Ice Divine Kingdom.
The Immortal grade divine tool that looked like a sparkling icy kingdom of the gods was instantly penetrated, leaving a hole the size of a fist.
Fine fissures rapidly ripped through the ice walls of the divine kingdom.
Teng Yue, who had been freed from the cold power, finally realized what had restored mobility to his earth domain."Heavenbreaker! That's the Streamcloud Sword Sect's signature Immortal grade divine tool: Heavenbreaker!"
Teng Yue's face was filled with astonishment as he stared at the broken bronze sword in Yin Xingtian's hand from the depths of the grayish-brown mountains that formed his domain. Strong apprehension could be seen in the depths of his eyes.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Even the five evil gods Nie Tian had released had become quiet. Even without Nie Tian's summons, they took it upon themselves to leave the Frigid Ice Divine Kingdom and fly back to his side.
The five of them hovered around the Spirit Pearl, as if any sign of danger would make them retreat inside.
Even Mo Qianfan's dharma idol stayed its hand and looked down at Yin Xingtian and the broken bronze sword he was holding like an enormous ancient god."The Heavenbreaker, a divine tool at an even higher level than the Frigid Ice Divine Kingdom."
Compared to his dharma idol, both Yin Xingtian and the broken bronze sword in his hand seemed as tiny as flies.
However, neither he nor the magnificent Frigid Ice Divine Kingdom of the Extreme Coldness Palace dared to slight either of them.
"The man once split the realm barrier of large-scale realm with a single slash of the Heavenbreaker, " Teng Yue muttered in amazement."If we weren't in the Domain of Frigid Depths, I bet that slash alone would have inflicted serious injuries on Lu Qingchen."
As soon as he said these words, Lu Qingchen let out a pained wail, as if to confirm his assumption.
Even with the Frigid Ice Divine Kingdom, the Gelid Heavenly Ice Sword, and the cold power from the frigid mist, Lu Qingchen had failed to hold off the Heavenbreaker's devastating sword light.
Yin Xingtian lifted the blade again.
As he did, changes occurred inside his skinny body. Dozens of types of sword intent built up inside of him. Some were incomparably sharp. Some were remote and ancient. Some were expansive. Some were long and winding. Some were unbridled, while some were like the whispers between lovers...
All of them morphed into streams of silver light that disappeared into the Heavenbreaker.
Thousands of sword projections suddenly appeared and filled a spherical area around Yin Xingtian. Seconds later, all of them shrank back into the Heavenbreaker.
The blade was brought down from the air.
"Heaven Split!"
Countless rifts and cracks rapidly wove into a network in the void, cutting the void into what looked like a chessboard.
Even the void was broken, not to mention the Frigid Ice Divine Kingdom.
CRACK! CRACK!
The Frigid Ice Divine Kingdom that stood towering in this area of the starry river fell apart, like a sand sculpture built by a god that was violently destroyed by its maker.
Huge blocks of ice broke off from the divine kingdom and rolled down into the endless starry river.
"No!" Lu Qingchen cried out. Instead of striking back, he dove, wielding the Gelid Heavenly Ice Sword to salvage the fallen ice blocks of the Frigid Ice Divine Kingdom.
WHOOSH!
A domain that emanated golden light appeared as the Frigid Ice Divine Kingdom toppled.
Emerging with it from the shattering ice kingdom was a wood domain that was filled with green vegetation.
The metal domain and wood domain belonged to two of Chu Rui's subordinates, who had been imprisoned in the Frigid Ice Divine Kingdom: Master Pure Metal and Lord Green Wood.
Both of them were at the late Saint domain. With the help of the Frigid Ice Divine Kingdom and the bizarre frosty mist here, Lu Qingchen had slowly infiltrated their domains, frozen their bodies and souls, and captured them alive.
"Teng, Yeng Yue!"
"Patriarch Yin!"
"The Heavenly Thunder Sect! Mo Qianfan!"
"You... you're Nie Tian, right?"
Master Pure Metal and Lord Green Wood felt slightly bewildered, as they were fresh out of the Frigid Ice Divine Kingdom.
Before Lu Qingcheng had drawn the Gelid Heavenly Ice Sword, the sword had been used to channel frigid qi to infiltrate and freeze their domains and seas of awareness.
For this reason, Master Pure Metal and Lord Green Wood had focused all of their power and soul awareness on defending against the infiltrating cold power.
Later, when they had sensed anomalies, they had suspected that Lu Qingchen had met some sort of trouble, perhaps an opponent matching his strength.
However, they hadn't been able to imagine who that was left of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace was strong enough to fight Lu Qingchen, who possessed the Frigid Ice Divine Kingdom and the Gelid Heavenly Ice Sword, in the unique environment in the Domain of Frigid Depths.
Could it be Luo Wanxiang?
According to their understanding, the two vice sectmasters had always been friendly in appearance but estranged at heart. Plus, Luo Wanxiang was currently in secluded cultivation. There was no way he could have rushed to their rescue in the Domain of Frigid Depths.
Clad in a suit of golden armor, Master Pure Metal looked like a teenager that was fifteen or sixteen years old, while the truth was he was already ten thousand years old. He had met Nie Tian in the Dead Star Sea before, and thus recognized him at first sight."I, I can't believe it's the seventh Son of the Stars, Nie Tian."
"Yin Xingtian! Our sect will never forget this!" Lu Qingchen's roars came from below the thick frosty mist, sounding both frustrated and exasperated.
Nie Tian looked down and discovered that the thick mist blocked his sight, preventing him from getting a clear view of what was under there.
However, he managed to see the broken Frigid Ice Divine Kingdom reforming like building blocks coming back together in the mist.
He was taken aback."The Frigid Ice Divine Kingdom wasn't completely destroyed?"
"How could it be that easy to destroy an Immortal grade divine tool completely?" Mo Qianfan said."Besides, both the Frigid Ice Divine Kingdom and the Gelid Heavenly Ice Sword have their power amplified by the bizarre mist in the Domain of Frigid Depths. That means it's almost impossible to break the Frigid Ice Divine Kingdom or the Gelid Heavenly Ice Sword beyond repair here."
WHOOSH!
Under Lu Qingchen's control, the vast Frigid Ice Divine Kingdom madly accelerated as it flew away like an incomparably huge ancient starship.
Mo Qianfan didn't pursue it.
Meanwhile, Yin Xingtian had a stern look on his face, holding his Heavenbreaker. The entire area of the starry river was engulfed in his boundless sword intent.
"Moon-chasing Streamcloud!"
As he swung the blade again, his sword intent condensed into a river of light that flowed after the fleeing Frigid Ice Divine Kingdom like the Milky Way.
Seconds later, a shrill cry came from the depths of the thick frosty mist.
It was followed by Lu Qingchen's mad shout."Yin Xingtian! This conflict between you and I will never be over!"
His Frigid Ice Divine Kingdom once again broke into blocks of ice, which fled with him.
He had to further accelerate with the help of his Gelid Heavenly Ice Sword.
Yin Xingtian shook his head, looking somewhat frustrated."It's too bad that we're in the Domain of Frigid Depths. If we were in any other domain, I would have been able to kill Lu Qingchen. As the current sectmaster of the Extreme Coldness Palace, he relies too much on his spiritual tool. His personal cultivation base is far too weak."
"It's not that he's weak, but rather you're too strong, " Mo Qianfan said with a serious expression.
Master Pure Metal also chimed in."Let alone Lu Qingchen, even among those from the four great sects, which late Saint domain expert dares to say that their accumulation is more profound than yours? Even throughout the entire human world, those there are only a handful of patriarchs who have seniority over you and entered the late Saint domain earlier than you.
"Not to mention that the sub-grade of your Heavenbreaker is higher than that of the Frigid Ice Divine Kingdom, even though they're both Immortal grade divine tools."
Yin Xingtian then said casually, "I'm the sectmaster of the Streamcloud Sword Sect after all."
Mo Qianfan sighed."Considering your strength and the might of your Heavenbreaker, even I don't know if I'd be able to best you in battle. If you manage to enter the God domain, I doubt any early God domain experts from the four great sects will be able to match you in battle. You may become another Mo Heng. This is truly enviable."
