The weakest martial artist? One punch and he's leveled up a whole realm!

Ye Xiao stood in front of the ice sculpture, staring at it for a long time.

He could already imagine it.

When the Frostthroat disaster struck, these people tried to evacuate, but there were no scenes of them managing to leave in time.

In the beginning, the area affected by frostbite was far less extensive than it is now.

Ye Xiao was currently at the location of the former Frostthroat frontline outpost.

Even the front-line outposts of Frostthroat, constantly retreating and shifting to a certain location.

"Is the monster invasion brought about by these cracks a natural disaster or a man-made one?"

Amidst the swirling snowflakes, Ye Xiao stared at the woman and child before him, frozen into ice sculptures.

He said firmly, "I will find out the truth."

"We will also give you justice!"

As Ye Xiao's strength grew, he learned more and more about this world.

He began to believe that this so-called natural disaster was not entirely a natural disaster.

It could even be a disaster deliberately brought about by some people.

All for the sake of achieving some ulterior motives.

As Ye Xiaoyue climbed up the mountain path, all that remained was thick snow.

The heavy snow covered all the roads.

Ye Xiao could only rely on his senses to move forward with difficulty.

But fortunately.

He is a martial artist who cultivates his body, and his extreme martial body also has a strong resistance to cold.

As the weather outside grew colder, the faster Ye Xiao's blood flowed.

It continuously generates heat, helping Ye Xiao to expel the cold from the surface of his skin.

The crack in the Frost Throat is in the center of Heavenly Lake.

It took Ye Xiao half a day to finally reach the edge of Tianchi Lake, braving the endless snow.

At this moment, the Heavenly Lake in front of him was completely frozen.

It is impossible to determine how thick the ice layer here is.

However, Ye Xiao can walk on the ice without worrying that it will break.

Ye Xiao stepped onto the surface of the ice.

The sky above Tianchi was filled with howling cold winds; not only was there not a single person in sight, but there wasn't even a trace of any living creature.

There was no life, no trees or plants.

There was only lonely frozen ground and rocks, with no place to shelter from the snow.

Just then.

Ye Xiao vaguely heard a low murmur coming from the center of the Heavenly Pool ahead.

"What's that sound?" Ye Xiao immediately became alert.

His eyes were fixed intently on what was ahead.

In the center of Tianchi Lake, there is a vertical beam of light, like an upright eyeball, observing everything in the human world.

And this is the entrance to [Rift 3: Frostthroat]!

However, the cracked passage of Frostthroat was still sealed with a large number of different seals.

Ye Xiao had seen this scene before in the Crimson Abyss Rift.

That was the first time he went there.

The cracks in the Crimson Abyss have not yet burst open.

The fist intent from the nameless patriarch once sealed that place.

It has maintained safety and stability for countless years.

The seal on the Frost Throat Crack before us, at its lowest level, is the most basic and essential seal left by the Nameless Ancestor.

However, on top of this seal are different seals from powerful human beings throughout history.

Like patching a hole, one layer after another was added, just to seal this place off even more completely.

Besides recognizing the source of the seal on the bottom layer, Ye Xiao also...

Ye Xiao didn't recognize any of the seals that were patched up on it.

Because it's different from the one from Chi Yuan.

But this also shows that no matter where or what cracks exist, there are always strong human beings striving to protect our shared home.

"roar!!!"

Just then.

Ye Xiao heard that voice again.

But this time, the sound became clear.

He heard it clearly.

"Could it be... the roar of a dragon?"

After the determination is made.

A strange expression appeared on Ye Xiao's face.

"I haven't even entered Frostthroat yet, could I already be discovered by the dragons inside?"

But at that moment...

Ye Xiao suddenly heard a second dragon roar.

"roar!"

This time, Ye Xiao could immediately tell that it wasn't the sound coming from the dragon as before.

Therefore, this is the roar of two dragons.

Moreover, they appeared alternately, and the voices were clearly filled with a tense, aggressive tone.

Ye Xiao could tell that it was most likely that the two dragons were fighting!

Although Ye Xiao didn't know what exactly happened inside Frost Throat?

However, if there is a struggle within Frost Throat.

This would be the best opportunity for Ye Xiao to enter Frost Throat.

So Ye Xiao walked forward on the ice of Tianchi Lake.

On the slippery ice, Ye Xiao spent about fifteen minutes before finally reaching the entrance to the Frost Throat's fissure.

Upon getting closer, Ye Xiao could see the area near the ground beneath the seal.

There is a passageway that is about two meters high.

This is a passage specifically reserved for human access.

It can also prevent Frostthroat monsters from flooding into the human world.

When Ye Xiao stood at the entrance of the Frostthroat Rift.

He could clearly feel it.

On the other side of the world, the temperature suddenly dropped significantly.

Ye Xiao stepped inside.

next moment.

He was drawn into the teleportation portal by its power.

When he landed again.

The world around us was already a thick layer of ice.

Frostthroat, a world of eternal frost.

The sky was gray and white, devoid of the sun, only filled with biting winds and endless ice and snow.

In contrast to the fiery heat of the Crimson Abyss, the Frost Throat is an extremely cold purgatory.

Ancient beings slumber beneath the frozen earth, while demonic energy deep within the cracks slowly erodes these seals.

Before coming, Ye Xiao had learned about the overview of the Frostthroat world from Grandpa Hei.

Frostthroat is divided into four major regions: the surface of the ice field, the middle layer of the ice cave, the deep layer of the ice core, and the Dragonsleep Abyss at the very center.

At this moment, Ye Xiao was located on the surface of the Frostthroat ice field.

The environment here is characterized by: permafrost, blizzards, and temperatures around -50°C.

This is the outermost layer of the Frost Throat, extending for tens of kilometers from the entrance of the fissure.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of ice, beneath which ancient trees and building ruins could be vaguely seen frozen.

Those are relics left by an ancient, unknown civilization.

The blizzards are constant and visibility is extremely low; even humans of higher levels of cultivation might not be able to discern directions here.

Ye Xiao found a spot to stop.

He took a hand-drawn map out of his backpack.

This map was also given to him by the old man.

He spread it out and found the contents of the ice sheet's surface on it.

Next to the map, there is small print describing the surface of the ice sheet.

[Monster situation on the surface of the Icefield]

Frost Spider (Fifth-Sixth Realm): A two-meter-long ice crystal spider whose silk can instantly freeze its prey. It lives in swarms and excels at ambush.

[Frostwolf (Sixth-Seventh Realm): A three-meter-long white giant wolf with claws and teeth that inflict frost damage. It is extremely fast and excels at hunting in packs. The wolf king can reach the eighth realm.]

【Icefield Ghost (Sixth-Seventh Realm): The vengeful spirit of an ancient warrior, wandering through blizzards, emitting a disorienting mental disturbance.】
