#552 - Skill Drop
Hearing Zhang Chen's words, the Great自在Heavenly Demon quickly shook his head and denied, "It's gone! It's really gone this time! If I knew any useful information, why would I hide it from you?"
Hearing the Great自在Heavenly Demon's words, Zhang Chen didn't continue to press him. Even if the other party was really hiding something, he would still have to take a trip in front of that palm!
Zhang Chen had some ideas in his mind about how to deal with that palm.
Zhang Chen put away the Great自在Heavenly Demon, sat in the corner, and looked at the new shoots drawn out by the big tree. Now it's the season of lush grass and flying warblers, the earth is rejuvenating, and everything is recovering. The world is finally no longer cold, and for Zhang Chen, the weather is no longer so tormenting.
Three days later
Zhang Chen prepared everything, once again opened up a secret room deep in the earth, and then looked at the pill furnace filled with charcoal. He put the pill furnace in his arms, sat cross-legged on the ground, and took out the Golden Shears. Now, after Zhang Chen's nurturing, many cracks on the Golden Shears had disappeared, and the entire Golden Shears exuded a new atmosphere.
Zhang Chen stroked the Golden Shears: "Golden Shears, Golden Shears, whether we eat delicious food or drink spicy drinks in the future all depends on you. You can even resist the Violet Firmament Divine Lightning, so you shouldn't disappoint me, right? I don't expect you to cut it off, even if you can only cut a piece of its skin, I'll consider you meritorious."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Chen put away the Golden Shears and, without hesitation, directly activated his Mind Realm and entered the Third Heaven.
As soon as he entered the Third Heaven, a terrifying cold wave struck. The deathly silence that wanted to freeze everything once again surged into Zhang Chen's heart, trying to freeze Zhang Chen's thoughts. However, Zhang Chen had already prepared. He saw the virtual air mechanism above his head flowing, and the Immovable Mountain Seal suspended above his head. The thick divine might spread out, firmly protecting Zhang Chen.
Divine might can destroy all laws!
The cold air, at the moment it approached Zhang Chen, seemed to have a quarantine net added, and its power was weakened by at least half!
Although some cold air still poured in through the subtle gaps, it couldn't freeze Zhang Chen instantly.
At this time, when the Great自在Heavenly Demon saw Zhang Chen offering the Immovable Mountain Seal, his pupils shrank involuntarily, and he couldn't help but want to slap himself: "I'm so stupid! I actually forgot that the ancient god and Immovable Mountain originated from the same source, and the core of Immovable Mountain certainly has the power to resist the extremely cold laws! I'm so stupid, how could I forget this! And there's also that divine might, which is inherited from a supreme existence, who is the source of all things in the world. The combination of the two makes it highly resistant to freezing everything."
Zhang Chen didn't know what the Great自在Heavenly Demon was thinking. Since he dared to explore this place, it was impossible for him not to be prepared. He never fought unprepared battles.
Seeing that the Immovable Mountain Seal and divine might could actually resist that extremely cold force, Zhang Chen's eyes suddenly lit up: "Good! Good! Good! In this way, it buys me enough time."
Zhang Chen summoned the Golden Shears from his magic power, and then, after a little thought, summoned a drop of water and stuck it to the Golden Shears. This was the divine power awakened by Zhang Chen's Water Control Technique. Two drops of water could teleport instantly, but the range was limited to within a thousand meters. The location of the palm was ten miles away from Zhang Chen, so Zhang Chen was considered to have left a backup plan in advance to collect the skills dropped by the palm.
After attaching the water droplets, Zhang Chen's eyes looked at the crystal clear palm in the distance, and he muttered, "Good treasure, whether it can be done this time depends on you."
As soon as the words fell, the magic power urged the Golden Shears, and he saw the Golden Shears turn into two black and white intertwined rays of light, soaring into the sky, cutting through thorns and obstacles all the way, and rushing towards the palm.
The Great自在Heavenly Demon on the side was stunned when he saw Zhang Chen offering the Golden Shears at this time: "Boy, what's the use of you offering the Golden Shears? Although the Golden Shears are infinitely powerful, the Golden Shears have already been severely damaged, and your strength is too poor. You don't think that you can shake that palm by holding the broken Golden Shears, do you?"
"I have my own ideas," Zhang Chen said.
He saw the Golden Shears flowing with divine light, and all the way towards the palm, but the palm was flowing with cold air. Seeing that the Golden Shears were less than ten miles away from the palm, Zhang Chen's Golden Shears speed gradually slowed down, reducing the speed of the Golden Shears.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Chen couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and a worry rose in his heart: "Could it be that the Golden Shears can't do anything about that palm either?"
When the Golden Shears were nine miles away from the palm, the Golden Shears' speed decreased again, dropping to 90% of its original speed.
At this time, the Golden Shears' divine light was flowing sluggishly, and it continued to fly in the cold air. When it reached eight miles away, the speed had dropped to 70%.
...
When it reached the last kilometer, the Golden Shears had already manifested from the black and white escape light state, turning into a pair of scissors, restoring its original appearance.
But at this time, the Golden Shears still maintained 10% of its original speed, and continued to fly rapidly in the air.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Chen's heart was raised, and his hands in his sleeves clenched tightly, secretly praying, only hoping that the Golden Shears could break through the cold air, even if it only rubbed against the palm.
Although the Golden Shears were beaten back to their original shape, they were still flying in the air, but they were flying slowly with the overwhelming cold air.
Just when the Golden Shears were getting slower and slower, and their flying speed was not as fast as a bird, the Golden Shears were still stubbornly flying in the void, and finally came to one meter in front of the palm, and then the flying speed stopped, and a layer of frost condensed on the entire Golden Shears.
"What? Just one meter short?" Zhang Chen looked at the Golden Shears that had completely stopped flying, and a look of unwillingness appeared in his eyes.
Just a little bit!
Just a little bit, the Golden Shears could stab that palm.
One meter distance is like a chasm.
The difference of one meter is a difference of 108,000 miles!
"You kid, don't you think about it, the cold air emitted by that palm has such terrifying power. The closer you get to that palm, the more terrifying the cold air becomes. Your Golden Shears are already broken, and coupled with your meager magic power to urge them, it's already rare to be able to reach within one meter of it," the Great自在Heavenly Demon comforted Zhang Chen from the side.
Zhang Chen was silent, knowing that the Golden Shears could be called his strongest attack method at this time. If the Golden Shears couldn't get close to that palm, wouldn't his plan be ruined? Were those four million experience points spent in vain?
Moreover, the Golden Shears fell near the palm, and he couldn't collect them back, wouldn't he have to put another treasure in it?
You must know that the Golden Shears are his last trump card, much more important than the solar charcoal.
Just when Zhang Chen was secretly lost, he suddenly saw the Golden Shears free-falling from the void, and then hitting the frozen ground. The ice on the ground was like steel, directly bouncing the Golden Shears up, and then, coincidentally, the tip of the Golden Shears directly hit the skin of the palm. The next moment, a blue light group fell from the palm.
"It's done!" Zhang Chen's eyes lit up when he saw the light group falling from the palm. He just didn't know whether the light group was a skill or experience points, but according to Zhang Chen's estimation and past experience, it should be skill points.
However, Zhang Chen was ten miles away from the dropped skill, which was a distance of five thousand meters. Even if Zhang Chen teleported instantly, he would need to get within one thousand meters to be effective.
"The closer you get to that palm, the heavier the cold air becomes, and the shorter the time the stove can last. If I want to get closer, I can only gamble! Now I have the protection of the Immovable Mountain Seal and divine might, and I have resistance to the cold air, so I may not be able to try it. At least I now have a chance of error tolerance, even if an accident really occurs, I can react and evacuate," Zhang Chen made up his mind, and the next moment he suddenly began to accelerate, extremely quickly sliding his skates, rushing past in the cold wind, and rushing towards the direction of the palm.
He knew his own affairs. The flames in the pill furnace could not last long, so he had to race against time to ski.
As Zhang Chen slid in the ice and snow, he noticed the change in temperature difference in the air. Roughly every thousand meters, there would be a huge temperature difference cliff. Every thousand meters, the temperature difference between the front and back would be a huge change.
But fortunately, there was divine might and the Immovable Mountain Seal, so Zhang Chen could still endure it.
When Zhang Chen passed through the first temperature difference, he only felt the cold wind blowing on his face, and his body was slightly cold.
When he passed through the second temperature difference, his temples were already stained with frost.
When he passed through the third temperature difference, his ears were already red, and his cheeks were also red.
...
When he passed through the fifth temperature difference, his body had already begun to stiffen, as if he had been frozen in the northeast at minus thirty degrees for thirty minutes. His whole body became stiff, and his fingers had lost consciousness.
"I'm almost at my limit," Zhang Chen mechanically slid in the air. He only felt that his thinking began to become slow at this time, as if he had lost his perception. He lost consciousness of his body control and could only rely on inertia to continue sliding.
When it came to the sixth temperature difference, the cold air in Zhang Chen's body had already become extremely strong, the breath of the solar true fire was almost imperceptible, and even the Immovable Mountain Seal suspended above his head began to condense with frost.
"I must continue to persevere and move forward, I must not give up!" Zhang Chen's eyes looked at the snow scene constantly receding on both sides, and suddenly a great terror surged in his heart:
"If, I mean if, what if the skill dropped by that palm is not the skill I want to control the cold ice energy?"
"If it's not the skill I want, I'm very likely to freeze to death there. Is such a risk worth it? You must know that even without the creation brought by that palm, I'm still doing very well now. As long as I pick up skills step by step, I can still set foot on the supreme path in the future. I can even be comparable to the owner of that palm, or even surpass the owner of that palm!" At this time, negative emotions in Zhang Chen's mind were frantically fighting back.
There is indeed great terror between life and death!
In the new year, Nine Lives wishes everyone:
