Douluo Dalu: Start with a Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgement

Chapter 490: Ice and Snow Storm

The place where A Tai was hiding was less than twenty kilometers away from the Sun-Moon Empire camp, which was also the limit of the soul detection device. The Titan Snow Demons who did not have 100,000 years of cultivation were arranged to be farther away, about twenty-five kilometers away, because they could not transform into humans. They crawled quietly and waited for orders.

It is not difficult to command these Titan Snow Demons. They will absolutely execute the orders of the Titan Snow Demon King. And with the Snow Emperor around, the Titan Snow Demon King will also absolutely execute Ji Lin's orders.

At this time, Ji Lin had already approached the edge of the Sun-Moon Empire's soul detection device. The ice wings on Ji Lin's back flapped, and his figure climbed rapidly upwards. The surrounding scenery kept flashing by, and the sky became more and more silent and cold.

The low temperature had no effect on him. He only started to slow down after rushing into an altitude of four thousand meters.

Ji Lin was floating high in the sky and looking down. On the ground, in the camp of the Sun and Moon Empire, only a few lights could be vaguely seen.

Only then did Ji Lin stop climbing.

"drink!"

Ji Lin let out a low roar, and then an ice-blue light began to emerge on his body. A huge shadow of an ice and snow girl, thirty meters tall, emerged behind him. The shadow of the snow girl emitted an ice-blue halo in the night sky, and floated behind Ji Lin. She had a beautiful face exactly like the Snow Empress, and her pupils emitted a faint blue light. A terrifying soul power fluctuation surged out from behind Ji Lin, and the Snow Empress manipulated the power of the holy mark and began to help Ji Lin.

Like a volcanic eruption, the soul power belonging to the Snow Emperor gushed out from the Holy Scar Space, condensed, cold, and deep. This was the soul power of the Snow Emperor. The strength of this soul power exceeded that of Ji Lin now.

With Ji Lin's current physical condition, he is already able to borrow the power of the Snow Empress. The ice-blue soul power gushing out from the Holy Mark Space begins to circle around the phantom of the Ice and Snow Girl behind Ji Lin.

The soul power continued to be output outward, and the ice element in the air also gathered towards the snow girl's phantom behind Ji Lin at an astonishing speed.

Gradually, the huge snow girl cupped her hands together, and in her palms, a ball of ice-blue light condensed. This ball of blue light was in the shape of a spiral.

As the ice-blue vortex rotated, the concentration of ice elements in the air rose rapidly, and snowflakes gradually floated in the sky.

The clouds in the sky turned into countless snowflakes, flying and dancing around Ji Lin and the shadow of the Snow Emperor behind him.

As time passed, gradually, a huge vortex made of ice and snow appeared in the air. This vortex was still spinning rapidly. What was even more terrifying was that it was expanding at an alarming speed. In just a short while, the range it controlled exceeded one kilometer in diameter.

In this far north land, the combat effectiveness of any ice-attributed soul master and soul beast will be greatly increased, not to mention the darling of the far north land, the Ice and Snow Girl.

If it were inland areas where the air was not so cold, Ji Lin would need to consume at least 20% more soul power to achieve the current level.

This huge vortex of ice and snow was still expanding at an alarming speed, one thousand five hundred meters, two thousand meters, two thousand five hundred meters, three thousand meters. If it had not been in the middle of the night and at an altitude of four thousand five hundred meters, such a terrifying vortex of ice and snow would have been discovered long ago. Unfortunately, this altitude was no longer within the reach of the Sun Moon Empire's high-altitude detection soul guides. The altitude of nearly five thousand meters was also a forbidden zone for life!

Ji Lin's soul power output was still increasing. The vortex of ice and snow seemed to be boundless. It rotated at a certain speed, and its diameter gradually reached four thousand meters and five thousand meters.

This was the first time that Ji Lin cooperated with Xue Di and used his abilities to the fullest. He himself did not expect it to be so terrifying. Although this level of power was far less than a natural disaster, it was also amazing enough.

Ji Lin's white hair was dyed ice blue by the ice element, and the same went for the Snow Emperor's phantom. The originally white hair was dyed ice blue, like strands of crystal, and the powerful aura was still rising rapidly.

However, after the ice-blue vortex reached a diameter of five kilometers, the volume of the ice and snow vortex no longer changed. What changed was the speed of its rotation.

Under Ji Lin's control, the rotation speed of the ice and snow vortex increased at an alarming rate. Gradually, sharp whistling sounds and harsh wind sounds began to appear in the air. The strong sound waves seemed to completely cut the air. Moreover, the temperature around the ice and snow vortex began to drop sharply.

The originally flying snowflakes gradually turned into sharp ice flakes. Under the influence of strong winds, they became the most terrifying killing weapons.

"call--"

The wind was howling, and the shadow of the Snow Girl behind Ji Lin suddenly raised a pair of jade-white hands, then made a virtual pressing motion downwards. An ice-blue light suddenly lit up on the Snow Girl's body, and then the huge vortex of ice and snow broke away from the Snow Girl's control and slowly fell downwards. In the process of falling, the originally shrinking vortex began to spread because it lost the control of Ji Lin's Snow Girl shadow.

Five thousand meters in diameter, that was just the beginning, the vortex of ice and snow began to expand wildly as it fell.

Snowstorm. The vortex of ice and snow gradually spread out as it fell, turning into a blizzard that covered the sky. The blizzard raged in the air, with biting cold winds and piercing ice flakes flying wildly. Soon, the area it covered became ten times larger than before. Looking down from the sky, Ji Lin could clearly see that this blizzard covered almost all the camps of the Sun Moon Empire below, and even most of the detection soul guides.

“I’m so strong!”

Ji Lin looked at the spectacular scene, his eyes shining with excitement. This was power, this was the power he was pursuing, a power that could rival the power of natural disasters. Although it was not possible now, sooner or later, he would blow everything up.

Ji Lin took a deep breath, and a part of the violent ice elements in the air suddenly gathered towards him and were absorbed by him, replenishing the soul power he had consumed before.

In the raging blizzard below, even Ji Lin's mental detection could not penetrate and he could see the camp of the Sun-Moon Empire below. The chaotic ice element completely blocked Ji Lin's mental power. From then on, it all depended on the luck of the Sun-Moon Empire.

The ice and snow storm created by the combined efforts of Ji Lin and Xue Di was already considered a small-scale natural disaster.

Orange was handling official business in the general's tent at this time. She only felt that the wind outside the tent seemed to have become stronger, the whistling sound gradually increased, and the soul guide lights in the room were swaying slightly.

Is it windy outside again?
She grabbed the cloak on the chair, put it on and walked to the door of the general's tent. As soon as she lifted the tent curtain, a biting cold wind blew in.

"Whoa!"

Orange exclaimed and shuddered. It was so cold!
The whistling cold wind made a "whooshing" sound, causing dents to appear on the surface of the tent. Snowflakes were flying in the air and falling from the sky. Moreover, the cold wind and the ice and snow were increasing at an alarming rate.

How could there be such a severe snowstorm?

Since coming here, Orange thought he had gradually adapted to the harsh environment here, but this snowstorm tonight seemed particularly severe.

"Commander!"

"Here!" A messenger from the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Corps quickly ran up to her and respectfully took orders.

Juzi said in a deep voice: "Quick, pass on my order, tell each battalion to be careful to prevent the wind. If it doesn't work, use heavier soul guides to hold down the tents and make sure to keep warm."

"Yes!" The messenger left quickly, but the cold wind in the air became stronger and stronger.

Orange returned to the tent and lowered the tent curtain. Her tent was assisted by a soul guide. The warmth inside the tent made her breathe a sigh of relief. It was inevitable to feel relaxed when entering a warm place from a cold place. However, she still frowned.

The rare metal veins here are indeed quite rich, but the environment is also indeed harsh.

The 20,000 troops brought by Orange this time were all very cold-resistant soldiers drawn from the north of the Sun-Moon Empire, and they were fully prepared. However, after arriving here, many soldiers still suffered frostbite.

Especially the more than 5,000 professional miners who came later, these people's ability to withstand cold was even worse. Among them, the soul masters were better and had stronger physical fitness, but among more than 5,000 people, soul masters were only a very small minority, and most of them were ordinary people. They worked every day, and soon some of them could not hold on any longer. Some even began to die in the cold night because they could not withstand the harsh environment.

The snowstorm tonight is particularly severe, and we don’t know what will happen tomorrow. With such bad weather, I’m afraid the progress will be slowed down.

I don’t know how many people will have to die before this vein of minerals is fully mined.

Orange was feeling a little anxious. She had tried her best to prepare for the cold, but people still died. If it was on a battlefield, no matter how many people died, she would not be so anxious. But this was not a battlefield. She felt extremely distressed when her soldiers died here.

Now Orange just wants to finish mining the mineral vein as soon as possible and leave this damn place with his subordinates.

"Woo, woo, woo..." The biting cold wind howled, the piercing sound was just like the wailing of a vengeful spirit. The soul guide light in the tent flickered even more violently, and obvious dents began to appear around the tent.

The blizzard intensified again?
"Swish, swish--" A strange sound suddenly appeared around the general's tent. Orange's eyes suddenly focused, as if she thought of something. She quickly rushed to the door of the general's tent and opened the tent curtain. Suddenly, she saw countless ice flakes flying in from outside the tent. These ice flakes were extremely cold and sharp. Orange subconsciously raised her hand and output her soul power to form a layer of protection on the surface of her body.
