The arrival of the Ice Goddess was also felt by young people like Ciel and the others.
As a person who had been heavily involved with Goddess Ice’s life, Ciel was naturally very surprised by this.
Even in his wildest imagination, he had never thought about the Ice Goddess coming to a place where he was doing things.
He wondered what the Goddess’ reason was and actually doubted that she had come for him. However, what else could be the reason?
There was no way the Ice Goddess would come without a clear purpose and seem like she was doing surveillance.
He could not guess unless he asked the Goddess directly. To be sure, her arrival did make the Ice Palace disciples calm.
They were one hundred percent sure that no one would dare to dare to cheat in front of them.
On the contrary, many groups seemed to be increasingly afraid of them.
“Hehehe, I guess you guys are playing in an unfair way,” Ahong said suddenly, looking at Ciel and the other Ice Palace disciples.
What he meant was that the presence of the Ice Goddess basically intimidated everyone other than them.
“Since the beginning, few have dared to deal with us, especially after our strength was revealed,” Ciel replied. “So, it’s the same thing!”
“Of course, it’s not the same,” Ahong replied, seemingly disagreeing with Ciel’s opinion. “After all, when the World Soul appeared, many would use various schemes to obtain it, including perhaps a scheme to bring you down, but now who would dare?”
“All the schemes you’re talking about won’t actually be useful, so it’s still the same thing.” Ciel shook his head, maintaining his opinion so that Ahong could say nothing more.
Actually, the aura of the Ice Goddess disappeared not long after so it seemed like she didn’t exist.
However, everyone knew that she was simply hiding her aura to not ruin the peace.
Whoosh!
Ciel suddenly heard the sound of a very strong wind.
When he looked to the side, his eyes couldn’t help but widen as he discovered an enormous sandstorm, covering every side he could see.
The height of the sandstorm seemed to reach the sky, so it was as if there was no way to escape from it other than running to the opposite side.
However, it was really so fast, it was impossible to run.
“This is the most terrifying thing about the desert,” Ahong said.
Ciel had heard that the sandstorm in the center of this continent was the deadliest. It was very chaotic and within it were many desert monsters and huge flying rocks where a single rock could sometimes kill a Hegemon.
That was precisely what was so feared here. In fact, there were even many Demigods who died due to misfortune inside that sandstorm.
Ahong had just spoken and the sandstorm was getting closer to them.
Mu Yixue then took action, creating a giant wall of ice surrounding them to avoid anything bad that they hadn’t noticed yet.
Whoosh!
Finally, the sandstorm swallowed them all and those around them.
Right after they were swallowed up by the sandstorm, Ciel immediately saw many large rocks, some hitting the ice wall that Mu Yixue had created, but it was indeed very strong because it wasn’t shaken at all.
Of course, good fortune did not apply to others who had no protection.
Some of them were hit by boulders, exploding into blood instantly, a scene that made the Ice Palace disciples take a deep breath.
Ciel looked down as he felt a tremor, but it wasn’t because of any particular creature. The ground he and the others stepped on separated from the land and flew away with the sandstorm.
That would practically transport them to another place.
Before Ciel could even calm down, there was suddenly a giant creature that appeared from behind the rocks. It was a giant with six arms.
Unlike Ahong and the others, it didn’t seem to have any intelligence. Its eyes were full of ruthlessness.
It leapt into Mu Yixue’s ice wall.
“Hmph, how dare you!” Ahong suddenly snorted and then sent his fist at the giant.
He was still bigger than the giant.
BANG!
His fist slammed into the giant’s head, and it was instantly blown away.
Meanwhile, Yasmin who was originally looking around with observing eyes suddenly said, “Prince, this sandstorm shouldn’t take up to ten minutes, but there will indeed be many dangers.”
She was one of the most educated on the continent, so in predicting phenomena, she was better than Ahong.
When she finished speaking, there was another danger coming.
Thousands of winged desert snakes suddenly appeared and moved towards them.
They were huge and their mouths emitted horrible green smoke.
“Prince, they are very poisonous,” Yasmin said hurriedly. She actually looked panicked when she said that.
“Let me deal with them,” Ciel replied before jumping on top of Mu Yixue’s ice wall.
To fight the poison, his fire was the most appropriate.
The snakes then opened their mouths, spitting out venom that instantly became a giant wave.
The smell was really uncomfortable, Ciel furrowed his brows, and wanted to cover his nose.
“You all deserve to be burned,” he said as he pointed his hand forward.
Buzz!
The three types of flames came out, becoming a wave that was just as big as the poison wave.
When they met, the venom wave instantly burned out without a trace, shocking the snakes.
Surprisingly, they immediately turned around and tried to run away.
“So you guys know fear too…” Ciel laughed, then created a giant fireball because he didn’t plan on letting them escape.
However, before he threw the fireball, a small sword suddenly appeared out of nowhere, moving at high speed and cutting the snakes’ bodies one by one.
In less than ten seconds, all the snakes were cut in half. Their bodies were then thrown in various directions by the sandstorm’s impetus.
At the same time, the small sword flew to a point where a rather thin hand picked it up.
Due to the sword’s power, people could not help but be attracted to its owner.
It was owned by a young man who seemed to be younger than Ciel, having somewhat messy black hair but he still looked handsome.
He was wearing a black robe with a hood that didn’t cover his head and there were several holes in the robe.
Ciel didn’t know who he was, but he had to admit that he was very powerful. Even Mu Yixue after revealing her hidden strength looked at the young man with narrowed eyes.
However, she also didn’t seem to know who he was. He was clearly from another realm other than the Realm of Life.
The sandstorm didn’t seem to affect him. He was able to walk calmly without any dust hitting his body even though he didn’t emit any aura or light.
Surprisingly, he was walking towards Ciel, looking like he had a specific purpose.
He did not take long to arrive about ten meters away from Ciel.
“I heard that you are very strong and arrogant,” he said suddenly, looking directly into Ciel’s eyes with his eyes that were also black in color.
“Yes! And who are you?” replied Ciel, not refuting his words because he did seem arrogant.
The problem was that the young man’s words sounded like he wanted to challenge him. Of course, he wasn’t going to be friendly.
“I am Derrick of the Realm of Destruction,” he replied.
It was also one of the Seven Realms, famous as a place that had been destroyed, but was still habitable because the spiritual energy there was still stable, only the nature had been destroyed in many places.
Compared to the other realms, the Realm of Destruction had fewer people. However, it did produce many deadly cultivators.
After Derrick introduced himself to Ciel, the few people who were hiding among the rocks immediately began discussing.
“I’ve heard of him, the absolute genius of the Realm of Destruction where he has never lost. All the geniuses in the Realm of Destruction no one can resist him for more than three moves.”
“I heard that his mother is an extremely powerful Second Stage God.”
“Yeah, that woman is said to have great potential to become a Supreme God.”
“You don’t know it yet, but Derrick has even fought with Lydan, the son of the Heaven Race Patriarch.”
“Really? Who won?” 𝑶𝑽𝗅𝐞xt.𝗇𝓔t
“There is no information about that because they fought without an audience. However, rumor has it that Lydan was unable to defeat him.”
“…”
After hearing people’s conversations, Ciel laughed.
“So you’re very famous?” he said.
“Then do you want to fight with me now, boy?”
Ciel took out his sword again as he said that, swinging it towards the young man.
He actually didn’t like being challenged like this, so if anyone challenged him, he wanted to defeat that person as soon as possible so that there would be fewer to challenge him later.
Originally he thought it would be difficult for something like this to happen since the Ice Goddess came, but it seemed he underestimated the courage of some people.
“I’m here to deliver a message from someone, so everything will depend on your answer,” Derrick replied to the surprise of many.
They wondered who could make Derrick send a message.
