Chapter 12: The Entire Venue Was Shocked
“Ah... I can't hold on any longer!” A young girl cried out in panic and despair as the moment ended, and the cold that enveloped the Creation Platform dissipated immediately.
After shattering the purple ice layer, the girl, disheveled and in a pitiful state, fled from the Creation Platform. She had finally saved her own life!
“Father, I’ve let you down. I really can’t hold on anymore!”
“Grandfather, I truly can’t persevere any longer...”
“...”
On the Creation Platform, another nine exhausted young men and women cried out in despair and regret as they descended from the platform.
Their hearts ached painfully, knowing that only the last moment remained in the assessment, yet their spiritual power had been completely drained, leaving them with no choice but to give up!
At this moment, the gaze of millions in the venue fell upon Wang Tianyou and Liang Qidi, who were whispering to each other:
“Who do you think will win in this last moment, the young city lord or young master Liang?”
“The young city lord and young master Liang are both the pride of Falling Star City. It’s hard to tell who will prevail...”
The crowd completely ignored Tan Yun, who was covered in purple cold ice. In their eyes, Tan Yun was in grave danger!
However, the following scene left everyone dumbfounded, as if they had seen a ghost!
“Bang… crash!”
Tan Yun broke free from the ice and appeared before everyone. Despite looking extremely disheveled, he was clearly unscathed!
“How… how is this possible!”
“Yeah, it’s unbelievable. He’s only at the seventh level of spirit embryo realm, and not only is he not dead, but he can still stand there!”
“...”
The crowd erupted in an uproar!
City Lord Wang Tianyou and Master Liang’s eyes suddenly narrowed, coldly glancing at Tan Yun, a flicker of killing intent crossing their eyes!
From Tan Yun, they sensed a threat to their beloved sons!
“Swish!”
Mu Mengyi’s delicate body trembled slightly as she suddenly stood up from her seat, staring intently at Tan Yun, her beautiful eyes filled with extreme shock!
Her mind was filled with doubts, “Since the assessment began, countless family youths at the eighth level of spirit embryo realm have suffered casualties. Now, only Wang Fucheng and Liang Qidi, both at the ninth level of spirit embryo realm, stand on the platform. Yet he, at the seventh level of spirit embryo realm, has managed to hold on until now!”
While everyone was shocked and bewildered, Tan Yun circulated his spiritual power to resist the pressure while closing his eyes, focusing on the anomaly in his left palm.
He could clearly sense that the primordial ice flame lurking in the palm of his left hand was starting to stir. It felt like a tender sprout about to break through the earth!
“Damn, just a little bit more! If the ice flame spiritual tiger had released another half moment of purple cold ice, my primordial ice flame would have reached the initial stage of the first level, and I could control the ice flame externally!” Tan Yun thought, feeling a sense of great disappointment, yet a smile flickered at the corners of his mouth.
Despite the primordial ice flame not yet reaching the initial stage of the first level, it was now usable in battle!
“This envoy announces that there’s only one moment left in this selection!” After retracting her gaze from Tan Yun, Mu Mengyi looked up at the ice flame spiritual tiger and said, “Begin!”
“Roar, roar, roar!”
As the three tiger roars fell, an even more powerful pressure surged from its massive head, engulfing Tan Yun, Wang Fucheng, and Liang Qidi.
Wang Fucheng, Liang Qidi, and Tan Yun all unleashed their spiritual power to counter the pressure, but despite this, their bodies trembled violently, and their faces were covered in countless blood vessels!
Soon after, cracks began to appear on their necks, hands, legs, and even their entire skin, forming a terrifying and grotesque web of blood!
