### Chapter 501: Immortal Magic
In this moment, the extreme cold from Mu Jixue and the power of the White Tiger seeped out.
This ice arrow? Well, it’s no ordinary shot—it’s all thanks to Mu Jixue pouring her heart and soul into developing it. To catch up with Yun Zhonghe, she finally realized that she needed her own big g*n.
As everyone knows, once an ice arrow spell is condensed, it shoots out—end of story. But Mu Jixue used her extreme cold to hold back the forming ice arrow, continuously channeling spiritual energy into it.
She had always just wanted to freeze enemies with her extreme cold. But finally, she changed her approach: freeze her own spell, then pour in more spiritual energy, freeze it again, pour in more spiritual energy, freeze it again!
After many days of repeating this mind-numbing process, the suppressed ice arrow’s power sky-rocketed, breaking through the intermediate spell category, shattering the advanced spell barrier!
This huge ice arrow was beyond the usual advanced spells!
Only Mu Jixue could do something like that.
“An ice… immortal magic…”
The Black Shadow squinted his eyes but muttered a word that couldn’t be taken lightly.
Low-level spells, mid-level spells, high-level spells, and immortal magic…
Many people might have misconceptions about immortal magic. They think it means bigger, flashier, shinier spells as you go up in levels. Not true.
Immortal magic, on the contrary, has a kind of return-to-basics vibe, usually simpler and more direct. It’s often just pure numbers or straightforward mechanics with no frills.
Mu Jixue’s spell at this moment had a flavor of immortal magic.
But only a little bit. True immortal magic isn’t that simple.
With a roar, the White Tiger shot out the ice arrow, imbued with its might. The Black Shadow’s eyes sharpened, and he threw the first punch with immense demonic energy. The ice arrow burst apart in mid-air!
But the space started to warp, just as if nothing happened. And somehow, the supposedly launched ice arrow remained suspended above Mu Jixue’s head.
Yup, fake!
Mu Jixue used an ice illusion, while Yun Zhonghe’s spiritual energy also added to the illusion, making it feel real.
No words were exchanged, but they intuitively cooperated.
The Black Shadow wasn’t fooled though. As Yun Zhonghe took advantage of the Black Shadow’s focus on the ice arrow, he rapidly closed in, but the Black Shadow noticed the illusion and saw the move, so he evaded it.
“Interesting! One understands sword momentum, the other gets the essence of immortal magic. Are you really Golden Core stage?”
Recall when they fought in Tianhai City. They didn’t even have the qualifications for a match.
In such a short time, did they really grow to this level?
The Black Shadow seemed unfazed. After avoiding Yun Zhonghe’s strike, he moved like a ghost, incredibly fast, delivering punches and kicks charged with black wind.
He was truly stepping up.
d*mn!
Yun Zhonghe couldn’t even track him visually.
But thankfully, his spiritual energy was strong enough to barely perceive the incoming attacks. On the Snow Cloud Sword, the sword momentum burst out, but it wasn’t the eight trigrams formation anymore—
Infinity Sword Technique!
Sword momentum was no longer just a technique, but a style of aura. Any move could incorporate it, even basic strikes.
Using the Infinity Sword Technique combined with Yun Zhonghe’s sword momentum, he defensively countered. Just as the Black Shadow’s punch was about to touch Yun Zhonghe’s nose, Yun Zhonghe vanished, and golden sword beams slashed from all directions towards the Black Shadow.
The Black Shadow froze, unable to catch sight of Yun Zhonghe.
Did he blend into the void?!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sword beams pierced the Black Shadow’s arm and tore his skin, leaving multiple wounds.
But the gap in strength was too vast; these were just cuts and bruises.
Thirty-six consecutive strikes in one breath, perfectly matching the thirty-six moves of the Infinity Sword Technique, each hit doing forty-eight times more damage!
“Tsk! d*mn tough!”
Unable to inflict critical damage, Yun Zhonghe felt downcast.
By the time all thirty-six of the Infinity Sword Technique moves were done, Yun Zhonghe finally showed up behind the Black Shadow.
“Haa!”
Quickly, the Black Shadow punched backward, releasing thick demonic energy to smash into Yun Zhonghe’s forehead.
At that key moment, a figure leaped out from Yun Zhonghe’s space ring.
Chen Leling!
Yun Zhonghe mentally instructed her to assist at crucial times.
Since there’s no combo for the Infinity Sword Technique with sword momentum, it comes with a cooldown period. Re-entering the void needs some waiting.
Yun Zhonghe couldn’t endure the impact head-on. Physical collisions should be left to the experts.
“Hyah!”
True to form, Chen Leling struck with ferocity, clashing fists with the Black Shadow. The collision shook the earth. Chen Leling’s arm got bloodied, and the Black Shadow took a few steps back.
The Black Shadow’s physical strength was even greater than Chen Leling’s!
“Leling!”
Catching Chen Leling being pushed back, Yun Zhonghe swiftly dragged her away.
Because Mu Jixue’s arrow, which already locked onto the Black Shadow, was launched directly at him.
This time, it wasn’t a trick!
With a narrow-eyed glare, the Black Shadow punched back.
Boom!
Thunder roared, ice exploded, and a terrifying surge of spiritual energy raged, instantly engulfing the Black Shadow.
Yun Zhonghe was sent flying by the storm, spewing bl**d. Luckily, Chen Leling scooped him up in a princess hug and landed steadily.
What incredible power!
No wonder the arrow, painstakingly cultivated by Huáng Àotián, was devastating. At least Yun Zhonghe figured that even entering the void with infinity sword momentum wouldn’t be enough to dodge such a show of power.
Looking at the vast, ice-covered battlefield, Yun Zhonghe felt his scalp tingle.
This power was monstrous!
“Amazing…”
Li Yifeng, Zhao Lingxiao, and others watching from the edge of the battlefield were stunned.
Back then during the clan tournament, they were evenly matched. But after just months in the Four Beasts Secret Realm, they felt light-years behind Yun Zhonghe and Mu Jixue.
They both already have the strength of Transformation Gods?!
They’re just at the peak Golden Core stage!
Though some gloominess came with the realization of their difference, the impressive growth of Yun Zhonghe and Mu Jixue lifted morale. Maybe they can stall the Black Shadow until other Transformation Great Beings arrive!
“But that’s it? Seems like I… still win!”
Out of nowhere, laughter echoed amidst the icicles.
Demonic energy surged, blotted out the sky!
Dragon after dragon of demonic flames roared forth, sending Yun Zhonghe and Mu Jixue into alarm.
Indeed, this battle wasn’t over that easily.
