Chapter 543: Chapter 543: Coach, Someone’s Cheating!

The Phoenix spread its wings and let out a sharp cry towards the sky!

In an instant, the heavens and earth changed colors. The entire desert of the twenty-first floor suddenly turned from bright to dark, as if transitioning from day to night.

The temperature of the twenty-first floor began to plummet, and the moisture in the air froze into frost, transforming into snowflakes that drifted down.

Even the undulating sand dunes formed a thin layer of ice, and many creatures hiding beneath the dunes couldn’t withstand the drastic temperature change, emerging only to be quickly frozen to death, their bodies becoming ice sculptures.

In just a short moment, the scorching desert had turned into a frigid land, with bleak air and drifting snow everywhere.

Fang Zhou wasn’t greatly affected; the severe cold couldn’t harm his body, but he was still somewhat shocked.

This is the Innate Realm? Is my Innate Realm a joke!!

Coach, someone is cheating!!

Fang Zhou finally understood why the system labeled this as difficult mode for him.

It turns out he wasn’t just up against Ming Aoshuang, but also a bird.

…

This is a true climate change.

Though the area of the twenty-first floor isn’t as vast as the first, it’s still enormous, beyond sight.

Ming Aoshuang was actually able to turn a scorching desert into a realm of cold in an instant. This earth-shattering power definitely isn’t something an Innate Realm could achieve.

Even if it were someone at the Golden Core Realm, they probably couldn’t accomplish this.

Fang Zhou internally shouted that Ming Aoshuang was cheating, but he suspected that the one controlling Ming Aoshuang’s body now wasn’t her.

But rather the illusory Beiming Heavenly Phoenix behind her.

The one changing the climate of the desert should be this legendary Ancient Divine Beast.

Fang Zhou just couldn’t understand how, in the midst of the fight, Ming Aoshuang could summon a creature of such higher specifications.

Are you playing unfair? Never lost before?

Unfortunately, Ming Aoshuang could no longer hear Fang Zhou’s complaints and sarcasm. Her situation was much more precarious than Fang Zhou’s.

After changing the climate, the Beiming Heavenly Phoenix let out another sharp cry skyward.

Ming Aoshuang’s eyes shone with blue light, and this space that had turned into winter immediately began to churn, with fierce winds howling and ice and snow sweeping the ground. Massive tornadoes sprang up.

These tornadoes lifted the frozen sand from the ground, wrapped in frosty snowflakes, towering like massive pillars reaching the heavens.

Ming Aoshuang brandished the Green Frost Sword in her hand towards Fang Zhou, sending dozens of tornadoes with a world-destroying momentum, spiraling towards him.

Fang Zhou gasped, how could this be fought?

However, he wasn’t panicked; he was now quite experienced, after all, having seen much and faced all sorts of situations.

The predicaments and dangers in the Black Soul World had been far greater than now, and he was already well-experienced.

Fang Zhou summoned a hundred thousand sword shadows in one breath, with golden brilliance filling the sky.

The hundred thousand sword shadows didn’t fight individually but, controlled by Fang Zhou, converged into a torrent, shooting towards the incoming tornadoes.

Countless sword shadows entered the first tornado, with the foremost instantly frozen and blowing apart into ice shards.

But more sword shadows continued to plunge into the tornado, using self-destruction to slow down the tornado’s rotation.

After sacrificing thousands of sword shadows, the first tornado was finally shattered by the impact of a large number of sword shadows.

However, there were still dozens more tornadoes following closely, and at this rate, even a hundred thousand sword shadows wouldn’t be enough to consume.

Fang Zhou couldn’t afford to pose anymore. He let the sword shadows block the tornadoes and summoned the Xuanyuan Sword, lifting it high.

Countless golden lights converged on the Xuanyuan Sword, with its sharp Sword Intent surging like a tide. The Xuanyuan Sword transformed into a golden pillar, piercing the sky, shooting towards the base of the twenty-second floor.

“Sword Slash!”

Fang Zhou swung down with force.

The golden sword light transformed into a golden torrent with incomparable speed, jetting forward.

After Fang Zhou elevated his Sword Control Technique to the Ten Thousand Sword Realm, the power of Sword Slash was also enhanced, allowing for adjustable size.

Now, this strike was maximized for output, with the surging golden light penetrating through dozens of tornadoes, straight at Ming Aoshuang who was high in the sky.

Ming Aoshuang did not dodge, maintaining her stance of wielding the sword. The Beiming Heavenly Phoenix behind her folded its wings, covering her entirely in its silhouette.

Boom!

The golden torrent collided with the Beiming Heavenly Phoenix’s silhouette as if a wave crashing against a rock, instantly shattering and spraying the surging golden light in all directions.

The dense, sharp Sword Intent frantically sliced into the Beiming Heavenly Phoenix’s silhouette, which remained as stable as a boulder, blocking all attacks firmly outside.

When the golden torrent dissipated, the Beiming Heavenly Phoenix’s silhouette had dimmed a bit, but Ming Aoshuang, protected within it, remained unharmed.

Seeing the Sword Slash ineffective, Fang Zhou prepared to try another method of attack, only to find the Beiming Heavenly Phoenix’s silhouette lowering its head, casting its gaze upon him.

This was a terrifying gaze, awe-inspiring and authoritative without anger.

Caught in this gaze, Fang Zhou’s mind went blank for a moment, with his blood and body seemingly freezing.

Not seemingly; his body genuinely began to freeze, with frost rapidly spreading from his limbs.

However, Fang Zhou’s high Spiritual Attributes of 76 points were not for nothing. He quickly regained clarity from his blank state, hastily using True Qi combined with his body’s Life Force to dispel the cold.

It was terrifying; just a gaze nearly froze Fang Zhou to death. Had his spiritual power not been strong enough, he might have fallen here today.

Feeling a bit apprehensive, Fang Zhou quickly retreated, circulating True Qi internally.

Though retreating reluctantly, Fang Zhou decided to try one last move.

If it still had no effect, he would opt for a strategic retreat.

The Beiming Heavenly Phoenix’s gaze followed Fang Zhou, seemingly wanting to attempt another strike.

Fang Zhou quickly summoned Bi An and used its substitute ability to send both his true body and substitute into the distant Bi An.

Swish!

The Beiming Heavenly Phoenix’s substantial gaze landed, piercing through Fang Zhou’s body without causing any harm.

In the five seconds of absolute safety time, Fang Zhou soared into the high sky, leveling himself with Ming Aoshuang, raising his hand overhead, his whole body emanating a gentle glow like the bright moonlight.

Moon in Water!

A powerful spell recently taught by Ling Xiaoyue.

Fang Zhou was deeply impressed; the one who seemed to be his senior sister, Yun Zheyue, had used this move to almost knock Fang Zhou down once.

Now, with Fang Zhou’s power stronger than Yun Zheyue’s, he didn’t know how much this move’s power could be enhanced.

As the spell activated, Fang Zhou radiated even more dazzling light, like a moon hanging high in the sky.

At this moment, the gloomy cold air in the sky disappeared, the drifting snow vanished, and the darkness broke apart, as light shone throughout.

A full moon, like a bright disc, actually appeared in the sky, with its bright moonlight illuminating the entire desert.
