If you were asked to identify an item, would you choose to extract magical powers?

The moment those terrifying, enormous eyes appeared, Shen Bai felt a tremor run through his entire body.

It wasn't that he was afraid, but rather that he felt a crushing pressure from a higher level of life, as if this enormous eye had already surpassed his current level of life and reached a higher level.

The moment that enormous eye appeared, Bingfeng trembled all over and then collapsed to the ground, as if every finger on his body was paralyzed.

But at this moment, the frozen eyes stared intently at the giant eye in the sky, revealing a hint of anger.

"Heaven and earth, it is you! You actually managed to break through the ice and snow energy and find this place!"

world.

Upon hearing those two words, Shen Bai immediately understood the reason.

The enormous eye before me must be the embodiment of heaven and earth, and its appearance here at this moment clearly indicates that it has come to cause me trouble.

Shen Bai took a deep breath, and under this immense pressure, drew the Cold Moon sword from his waist, adopting a wary posture.

For the first time, he felt a sense of impending doom and death, even feeling that if he moved even slightly, he would be reduced to ashes.

But Shen Bai showed no fear whatsoever.

Since it has already happened, then do your best to survive.

Fear is useless; only by going all in can we extricate ourselves from this crisis.

The giant eye in the sky turned its gaze slightly and landed on Shen Bai after he drew his sword.

Then, an invisible beam of light shot through the sky and hurtled towards Shen Bai.

This beam of light blotted out the sky and contained terrifying energy.

Shen Bai could sense that if the beam of light exploded on his body, he would probably turn into ashes in an instant.

Then, various supernatural effects began to appear on Shen Bai's body, surrounding him completely.

He swung his sword with all his might.

The crimson sword energy blotted out the sky and swept towards the terrifying pillar of light.

However, when the crimson sword energy landed on the pillar of light, it was completely unable to withstand it in the slightest.

Under the beam of light, it vanished into nothingness.

The beam of light, however, continued its momentum, instantly enveloping Shen Bai.

A terrifying energy surged within Shen Bai's body, and he felt as if he would be reduced to ashes in the next moment.

Even the white light of a flawless divine soul collapsed the moment it encountered the pillar of light.

Just then, as Shen Bai felt he was about to die, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Ugh."

This is a sigh, coming from the depths of the sacred, snow-covered mountain.

Shen Bai had heard this voice before; it was the voice of the Ice and Snow Emperor.

As soon as the sigh sounded, a terrifying surge of icy energy suddenly swept in, freezing all the pillars of light in the sky.

Then, a gentle breeze blew by, and the frozen pillar of light vanished without a trace.

The light surrounding Shen Bai also disappeared completely.

In the sky, the enormous eye turned its gaze, looking into the depths of the Ice and Snow Sacred Mountain, as if it had already spotted the figure of the Ice and Snow Emperor.

At this moment, figures emerged from the icy, snowy sacred mountain, hovering in the sky and blocking Shen Bai's path between the giant eye and the snow.

These are all members of the Ice and Snow Clan, each possessing formidable strength. Any one of them could exert immense pressure on even experts at the peak of their cultivation.

They appeared so small in the face of those enormous eyes.

Even though they seemed small, they did not back down in the slightest.

This is the responsibility of the Ten Forbidden Zones.

They are the last barrier against the power of heaven and earth.

In particular, the Ice and Snow Forbidden Land is the only one among the ten forbidden lands that can defend against attacks from heaven and earth.

Even though the frozen wasteland has only just begun to recover, they have already made preparations.

Even if they were to fight to the death against this world right now, they would not back down.

The giant eye in the sky, devoid of any emotion, swept across the faces of the ice and snow tribesmen before it, like a machine.

Then, a tremendous light gathered in his eyes again, as if it were about to sweep down and destroy everything in sight.

At that moment, the voice of the Ice and Snow Emperor appeared again.

"You want to destroy the world, but now is not the time. As long as I am alive, you cannot set foot in this world for the time being."

After these words were spoken, terrifying ice and snow energy condensed once more.

The ice and snow, which had become thin, gradually increased in an instant.

After the ice and snow energy gathered, it formed a wall of ice and snow in the sky, blocking the giant eye's gaze.

The light from the giant eye fell upon the ice and snow wall, immediately producing a booming sound.

The deafening roar shook the heavens and the blizzard it stirred up was enough to freeze even the most skilled martial artist in the world. However, the residual force cleverly bypassed Shen Bai, causing him no harm whatsoever.

The terrifying light in the sky still shone on the walls of the frozen wasteland, which were melting at a visible rate.

But when the melted ice and snow walls turned into water, they rose up again and solidified into an even thicker ice and snow barrier.

After a while, the energy of ice and snow in the sky became more and more stable, and the white light in the eye gradually dissipated.

After a few more breaths, the white light completely disappeared, and the giant eye gradually vanished.

Shen Bai felt the terrifying pressure gradually disappear and let out a long breath.

If it weren't for the ice and snow wall that appeared just now, he would probably have disappeared from the world by now, turning into a pile of white bones.

Shen Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, the voice of the Ice and Snow Emperor rang out once again within the Ice and Snow Sacred Mountain.

"I've already erased your presence. That eye can no longer find you. You can leave now without worry."

Shen Bai nodded.

He knew that the Ice and Snow Emperor was currently stationed in the Ice and Snow Sacred Mountain and absolutely could not come out of the Ice and Snow Sacred Mountain, otherwise the ice and snow wall would collapse instantly.

And that realm will descend completely, destroying everything in the world, and even specifically targeting him.

The fact that his aura has been erased proves that heaven and earth cannot find him. If they cannot find him, they can give him more time to develop.

Perhaps one day, he will be able to stand against this world.

At this moment, Shen Bai felt an even stronger sense of urgency.

The ice had long since returned to normal, but there was still a hint of lingering fear on her face.

Only those in the Ten Forbidden Zones truly know just how terrifying the world is.

This devastating energy is not something that one person can withstand alone.

But now that Shen Bai is the savior of the world, he may carry the hopes of the entire world and become the one who changes the situation.

As for how likely that was, Bingfeng didn't know; he only knew that he should do something for himself now.

Then, Icebound raised its finger and pointed it into the air.

As he made this movement, a door, large enough for one person to pass through, appeared in this forbidden, icy place. The inside was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

However, the aura inside was not that of the frozen forbidden land, but rather that of the world Shen Bai was familiar with.

Before Shen Bai could speak, Bingfeng spoke up.

"This is the place. Go straight in, or if you stay any longer, the heavens and earth will find you again."

"The clan leader has already erased your aura. You will be safe once you leave."

Shen Bai nodded.

He was also thinking of going out now, since he had been here for too long and didn't know what was happening outside.

Thinking of this, he stopped lingering and slowly stepped inside.

As he stepped through the doorway, the gate behind him slowly closed, and the frozen wasteland returned to its original state.

Meanwhile, the ice and snow people in the sky wasted no time and began to reinforce their defenses as instructed by the Ice and Snow Emperor.

……

outside world.

At this moment, a chilling atmosphere permeated the border region.

The Great Southern Kingdom has already lost several cities. The Great Qi Kingdom and the Great Yue Kingdom are like madmen, conquering cities and seizing strongholds. In addition, they have the support of chaotic organizations behind them. The Great Southern Kingdom has now completely evacuated its people to another city to hold on.

Even if they were to unite with the army of the Great Zhou Kingdom, it would be extremely difficult to fight against them.

Marshal Yang stood atop the city wall, watching the army marching menacingly towards them from outside the city gates, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

Beside him, Marshal Li of the Great Southern Kingdom, bearing injuries, had an extremely solemn expression.

Not long ago, when they retreated from the previous city, they were intercepted by the army of the Great Qi Kingdom. The Great Qi Kingdom dispatched several marshals to surround them.

If they hadn't fought their way out of the encirclement, they would probably have been wiped out by now.

Even a military expert like Marshal Li, who had reached the pinnacle of military strategy, was severely injured at the time.

He had already arrived at the city gate before his injuries had even healed.

Seeing this, Marshal Yang said, "I wonder how long we can hold out."

During the chaos of the previous dynasty, he led his army and fought with all his might on the battlefield, enduring bloodshed and turmoil, before finally establishing the Great Zhou Dynasty.

During this process, Marshal Yang led his troops in countless battles, each one extremely dangerous.

But he never felt despair.

Now, he finally understood what despair truly meant.

The bloodstains on Marshal Li's wounds soaked through the bandages, but he seemed oblivious. Upon hearing this, he sighed and said, "Let's hold on for as long as we can. Hopefully, we can find a way to change the situation."

The difference in numbers and strength is truly enormous and can be seen with the naked eye.

Therefore, their attempts to reverse the situation are essentially futile.

After all, it’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

After discussing the current situation, the two fell silent for a while.

At this moment, Marshal Li suddenly remembered something and said.

"Old Yang, it seems there's been no movement from Shen Bai in the Great Zhou Kingdom."

Not long ago, the news of Shen Bai leaving Xuanjing City was learned by many people in the martial arts world.

The news spread far and wide, and some even believed that Shen Bai had gone to end the war.

After all, there are too many legends about Shen Bai in the martial arts world. Even if they think this idea is exaggerated, they will not hesitate to admit that Shen Bai does have this ability.

However, Shen Bai suddenly disappeared without a trace after a period of time, as if he had vanished in an instant, which aroused some doubt in their hearts.

Upon hearing this, Marshal Yang's face turned solemn: "I don't know what's going on either. It's said that His Majesty has been searching everywhere with many high-ranking officials of the Great Zhou Kingdom, but the news from various astronomical bureaus indicates that they have not found any trace of Prince Shen."

"When he arrived, it was as if he had suddenly vanished into thin air."

After a moment's thought, Marshal Li said, "I hope nothing unexpected has happened."

Both the Great Southern Kingdom and the Great Zhou Kingdom valued Shen Bai highly.

They were all waiting for Shen Bai to make his move.

But at that moment, Shen Bai suddenly disappeared.

This made them feel a little strange.

Marshal Yang shook his head: "I don't know what happened either, but Prince Shen just disappeared so mysteriously."

“Let’s wait and see. He rose from Shengyun County and pushed his way up to where he is now.”

"Although I have encountered many dangers, I have never lost my life because of them, and I have always managed to escape danger."

"I believe he will be safe."

Marshal Li nodded and said, "I hope so."

After they had run out of things to say, they both fell silent.

They had all turned their attention to the battlefield, but now, when they talked about Shen Bai, they all became somewhat solemn.

Just then, the army formation ahead suddenly stirred.

The enemy soldiers were already arranging their troops, preparing for the next attack.

Prior to this, they had already held their ground against the city more than ten times.

Both sides suffered casualties.

Marshal Yang knew very well that if this pace continued, they would have to withdraw again in just a few days.

After repeated withdrawals until the territory is gradually eroded, the Great Southern Kingdom will return to the Great Zhou Kingdom. If the Great Zhou Kingdom is then eroded, the entire world will likely belong to the Great Qi Kingdom and the Great Yue Kingdom.

Once they gain control of the world, the chaotic organization will unleash a reign of terror, shattering the entire realm.

No one can live in peace anymore.

Marshal Li stood up and said, "Come on, let's begin. Let's see how many more times they can attack at this frequency."

Marshal Yang also stood up, fastened his cloak, and prepared to return to the army formation with Marshal Li to direct the soldiers in preparation for the next battle.

Just then, a soldier hurriedly came up.

When he saw the two marshals preparing to get up, he quickly stopped, bowed his head, and clasped his hands in greeting.

"My lords, I have something important to report."

Marshal Yang frowned and asked, "What important matter?"

When the news came suddenly, he knew something must have happened.

Moreover, judging from the soldiers' hurried manner, this matter is probably quite significant, and likely a major one.

As expected, the soldiers paused for a moment, a fanatical look appearing in their eyes.

"Prince Shen has arrived at the border."
