#559 - Sealing Palm
Zhang Chen's body exploded like powder, directly turning into dust.
The power of that palm was simply too strong. Although it wasn't directed at Zhang Chen, the mere unintentional leakage of its aura was enough to 'freeze' Zhang Chen's ice-formed body into dust.
Freezing objects into powder might sound like a fantasy, but it was truly happening before Zhang Chen's eyes.
Even Zhang Chen's ice domain was teetering on the brink of collapse, as if the intrusion of that palm was like a whale entering a small pond, threatening to burst the small house at any moment. However, the power of the laws flowing within the finger forcibly stabilized the crumbling domain, helping Zhang Chen prevent its rupture, and then directly entered the Ice Hell.
As the palm plunged into the Ice Hell, the force acting on Zhang Chen's ice domain disappeared. The laws of Zhang Chen's ice domain resumed their operation. In the next moment, the exploded ice powder recombined, and Zhang Chen instantly completed his rebirth, looking at his own Ice Hell with a face full of fear: "What kind of monster have I attracted?"
He had overestimated his Ice Hell and underestimated those ancient beings.
Even if it was just a palm, it still possessed incredible power that Zhang Chen couldn't resist.
Fortunately, the Ice Hell and the ice domain were two different dimensions. At this moment, Zhang Chen regained control of the ice domain, while the Ice Hell contained endless void, capable of accommodating any living being.
"Unbelievable! This is just a severed palm, already deprived of its main body's supply. Moreover, it has experienced tremendous changes in the world, and its power is constantly dissipating, yet it still possesses such incredible power. Can I really contend against this kind of power?" A sense of despairing lack of confidence surged in Zhang Chen's heart: "Can I really seal this kind of existence?"
Just as Zhang Chen was resurrected and in a daze, he saw the palm, after entering the Ice Hell, notice the black lotus. It immediately realized it had been tricked, and a furious roar reverberated throughout the void: "Cheat… die…"
The palm's voice was cold and filled with endless anger. It slapped towards the Great自在Heavenly Devil.
"Kid, act quickly!" the Great自在Heavenly Devil exclaimed, then transformed into a black stream of light and fled. However, the palm contained infinite power. With a thought, the void twisted, and the Great自在Heavenly Devil's lotus was frozen in the void, turning into a lifelike ice sculpture.
"Impossible! I can jump through endless void, how can I be frozen by you?" The little person transformed from the Great自在Heavenly Devil hurriedly jumped off the lotus platform, avoiding the incoming cold wave, and shouted in disbelief, frantically yelling at the void: "Zhang Chen, kid, act quickly and suppress this thing! The origin of its cold air is about to touch absolute zero, and even the power of time is affected. I'll distract him, you act quickly! If it escapes, we're both in big trouble."
The Great自在Heavenly Devil sensed something was wrong. To freeze him, one had to touch the legendary absolute zero, which could freeze space and time, thus having a chance to freeze his innate talent.
But how could such an existence be born in the world?
Faced with the power to freeze time, even legendary beings would have to retreat!
Fortunately, the other party's power was only barely touching this level, so he still had a chance to react. Otherwise, he would have been frozen in the first encounter. Although he could transform into billions, and being frozen in one incarnation wouldn't be a big deal, each Heavenly Devil incarnation had its own independent thoughts and personality. He didn't want himself to be frozen forever.
All the Great自在Heavenly Devils were one person, but that person was not all the Great自在Heavenly Devils. Once frozen, his 'personality' would be forever trapped in endless darkness, never to be freed.
Seeing the cold air permeating the void of the Ice Hell, freezing everything in its path, chasing the Great自在Heavenly Devil everywhere, Zhang Chen quickly used his supernatural powers to receive the Great自在Heavenly Devil. This old fellow was very useful to him and couldn't just die inside.
The void twisted, and Zhang Chen opened a passage in the void. The Great自在Heavenly Devil seized the opportunity and quickly escaped from the Ice Hell.
"Die!"
The palm stared at the Great自在Heavenly Devil, its voice filled with anger, following closely behind the Great自在Heavenly Devil, wanting to slap him to death. But at this moment, the Great自在Heavenly Devil escaped, and the palm struck the void, freezing a large area of the void world. Zhang Chen quickly used suppression methods. The void twisted, turning into an independent bubble, trapping the palm within it.
"Kid, this palm is too fierce, we're probably going to crash!" The Great自在Heavenly Devil said, standing beside Zhang Chen with lingering fear.
Zhang Chen didn't answer the Great自在Heavenly Devil, but listened to the palm's cold roar:
"Damn… you all deserve to die!"
At this moment, the word order within the palm began to gradually complete, indicating that its intelligence was also constantly recovering. It was imprisoned by the void barrier. In the next moment, terrifying power flowed around it, and it suddenly slapped its palm, landing on the void barrier. The void barrier appeared like glass, with cracks appearing.
"Too terrifying! Slapping the void to pieces, is this the power of those old guys? This is just a palm." Zhang Chen was shocked by this scene and quickly threw out the runes of the Nine Bends Yellow River Grand Formation. The runes turned into golden light, merging with the void barrier, turning into a running Nine Bends Yellow River Grand Formation, trapping it within.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
With each impact, the Nine Bends Yellow River Grand Formation was thrown up like a ball. Handprint-shaped protrusions formed on the surface of the formation, but were suppressed back by the Nine Bends Yellow River Grand Formation.
Just listening to the powerful impact sounds, and looking at the constantly undulating protrusions of the Nine Bends Yellow River Grand Formation, Zhang Chen couldn't help but feel a palpitation.
This was the double suppression of the Ice Hell and the Nine Bends Yellow River Grand Formation! Zhang Chen was certain that even a twelfth-order existence would be ground into a mortal by him, but the other party was able to shake the power of the formation after falling into his Nine Bends Yellow River Grand Formation, which was a bit sensational.
"Kid, we've miscalculated!" The Great自在Heavenly Devil stood in the void, looking at the constantly twisting and stretching Nine Bends Yellow River Grand Formation, his voice filled with seriousness.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Chen looked at the Great自在Heavenly Devil.
"If you personally presided over the Nine Bends Yellow River Grand Formation, trapping this palm would naturally not be a problem. But you simply cannot constantly preside over the Nine Bends Yellow River Grand Formation. If you rely solely on the automatic operation of the Nine Bends Yellow River Grand Formation, I'm afraid you won't be able to seal that palm." The Great自在Heavenly Devil's voice was a little nervous.
A formation presided over by someone and a formation not presided over by someone were completely different things.
It was like a smart machine and manual labor. Although the smart machine had the word smart in its name, how could it compare to manual labor?
So Zhang Chen narrowed his eyes, staring at the Nine Bends Yellow River Grand Formation that was operating automatically without anyone presiding over it. In the next moment, divine light flowed in his hand, and a golden yellow post flew out, landing above the Nine Bends Yellow River Grand Formation.
The Six-Syllable Mantra formed a ten-thousand-foot golden light, covering the entire Nine Bends Yellow River Grand Formation, suppressing the power of the Nine Bends Yellow River Grand Formation.
The Six-Syllable Mantra certainly couldn't suppress that palm, but the Six-Syllable Mantra could act as a 'stone', pressing on the formation to increase the stability of the formation, and improve the performance and power of the formation.
As the Six-Syllable Mantra suppressed down, the handprints protruding on the formation became shallower, and the originally crumbling formation now had a trace of stable will.
"Not enough! Not enough! Without you constantly presiding over the Nine Bends Yellow River Grand Formation, you still can't trap this palm!" The Great自在Heavenly Devil shook his head after seeing the Six-Syllable Mantra.
Zhang Chen wasn't flustered, but took out the suppression character he had prepared long ago. Although the Six-Syllable Mantra absorbed incense faith, its level was far inferior to the suppression character. One must know that his suppression character had already broken through to the law level, at least at the 'fruit' level, and there were more than twenty talismans. Zhang Chen didn't believe that so many methods combined couldn't suppress a mere palm that had undergone countless years of power loss.
If you were to say he couldn't suppress the owner of a complete palm, he couldn't do it, but suppressing the other party's palm that had lost an unknown amount of power, Zhang Chen thought it was still possible.
A suppression character flew out from Zhang Chen's hand, landing on the formation, and the degree of distortion of the Nine Bends Yellow River Grand Formation was reduced by another point.
"It's working!"
Zhang Chen was overjoyed at this scene, and four more talismans flew out from his hand, landing on the southeast, northwest, and northeast positions of the Nine Bends Yellow River Grand Formation respectively. The originally shaky Nine Bends Yellow River Grand Formation had completely calmed down, although there were still some waves, they were not enough to be feared.
"I have a total of twenty-four suppression characters, and only four have been used at this time. There are still twenty remaining. I expect that the palm can only be suppressed by me, and it will be difficult to stir up any more waves.
"Unbelievable! How can you have this level of talisman? No, I saw you use this talisman before, it was only fifth level at the time, how did it reach this realm now? How did you do it, kid?" The Great自在Heavenly Devil's eyes went straight when he saw the talisman Zhang Chen took out, his eyes full of disbelief.
How could Zhang Chen raise a mere fifth-order talisman to the point of surpassing the twelfth order in just a year or two?
Zhang Chen didn't answer the Great自在Heavenly Devil, but his eyes looked at the Ice Hell. After a long time, seeing that the Ice Hell didn't have any movement, he felt relieved, closed his own ice domain, and looked at the third heaven wrapped in ice in front of him with bright eyes.
How many living beings were frozen in this ice world? Moreover, they were all mysteries of unknown levels. If he could swallow the flesh and blood of all the living beings, to what realm would his cultivation increase?
