Chapter 1744: Transcendent Art, Frozen Nightmare

When the icy longsword imbued with the Paragon Seal of Authority pierced through the void and landed in Lu Qing'er's hand, everyone on the Ten Continents Universe Rampart sensed a chilly icy air capable of freezing the entire world sweep across the battlefield. Even the source origin flowing within the Kings present had turned sluggish under its influence. Surprised looks were directed towards Lu Qing'er.

Lu Qing'er untied her icy blue hair, allowing it to dance in the wind. Her Genesis Seed, resembling a frozen lotus, began to bloom between her brows. Boundless ice source origin formed intricate runes on this ice lotus, causing it to emit a unique aura.

The icy luster that flowed around Lu Qing'er's body made her crystal-clear skin even more fair and translucent. It was so shiny that one couldn't help but want to touch it out of curiosity. Even so, no one dared to try. This was because the sword imbued with the Paragon Seal of Authority seemed to contain its own spirit.

The Paragon Seal of Authority then flowed through the sword as a conduit, coursing across her skin and finally culminating within the Genesis Seed on her forehead. The frost lotus was like a throne with the Paragon Seal of Authority sitting in its center, resembling a monarch of ice.

The void, the earth, and even the worldly natural energy flowing around Lu Qing'er was transformed into primordial ice particles. This was the boundless power of the Authority of Ice! Lu Qing'er's perfected Genesis Seed was the vehicle that allowed for her to control the Paragon Seal of Authority that had been created with Lu Taiyi's life. When fused together, these two things could exhibit unmatched power.

Whether it was the three Devil Kings of Sin or the peak Triple Crowned Kings like Xiao Lingzhu and Ling Xuan, the expressions of everyone on the walls changed. The former three were furious, while the latter two were excited.

"Kill her!" The Pestilence Devil King of Sin let out an ear-piercing roar. Its genial expression had vanished upon sensing how much of a threat the Authority coming from Lu Qing'er was.

A moment later, the three Devil Kings of Sin joined hands. The Gluttony and Fear Devil Kings of Sin worked together to keep Ling Xuan and Xiao Lingzhu from using the Ten Continents Universe Rampart to seal them again.

Meanwhile, Pestilence Devil King of Sin had snapped off one of its withered fingers, transforming it into roiling pestilence source origin that took the form of a multicolored toxic snake. The snake pierced through the void, appearing right before Lu Qing'er in just an instant. It then bit down with a maw that resembled a bottomless abyss, its teeth containing a deadly poison.

Faced with the sudden assault, the Paragon Seal of Authority on her forehead shot out a beam of Light of Authority that froze everything in its path. Despite being made of pestilence source origin, the multicolored snake was forced to a halt, then it was reduced to frozen dust.

After resolving the Pestilence Devil King of Sin's ambush, Lu Qing'er quickly placed her hands together, forming multiple hand seals. The frozen lotus became more and more dazzling and emitted a brighter light. Then she gently uttered a soft and icy whisper, so cold that it could freeze the air around her. "Transcendent Art: Frozen Nightmare."

When she used this Transcendent Art, the three Devil Kings of Sin noticed that their bodies were enveloped by a bonepiercing frost. This ice originated from the depths of their own bodies, as though planning to completely freeze them. The terrifying fluctuations of energy they emitted began to weaken. Ice gradually spread across their skin, attempting to completely encase them.

Ling Xuan, Xiao Lingzhu, Li Tianji, and the rest were pleasantly surprised to see this. However, they also noticed that as the three Devil Kings of Sin were freezing, Lu Qing'er was similarly turning into an icy sculpture. Clearly, her Transcendent Art was so overbearing that it affected both the user and the targets. The Paragon Seal of Authority began to swiftly dim as its power was consumed.

"The three Devil Kings of Sin are being sealed!" The Kings from the divine continent began to let out cheers. If Lu Qing'er was successful, even if it was temporary, it would still buy them ample amounts of precious time.

Ling Xuan and Xiao Lingzhu, however, were not as optimistic. Lu Taiyi had sacrificed himself to refine the Paragon Seal of Authority. When it was combined with Lu Qing'er's perfect Genesis Seed, she was capable of producing some truly extraordinary attacks. However, Supreme Triple Crowned Kings were not easy to defeat.

As they expected, things started to change. When the three Devil Kings of Sin were half-frozen, three bursts of terrifying corruption source origin spilled out like a tide, seemingly capable of annihilating the world. All three of them let out sharp shrieks. They were using all of their strength to resist the encroaching frost.

As they struggled, the spreading frost seal was gradually contained. In fact, the ice that previously covered their bodies was starting to melt bit by bit. Their feverish resistance had also greatly affected Lu Qing'er. Her Genesis Seed and the Paragon Seal of Authority began to dim continuously.

Lu Qing'er unconsciously let out a muffled groan. Bright red blood dripped from the corners of her lips, dyeing her snow-white chin red. Her lustrous skin started to show cracks.

Sealing three Devil Kings of Sin was too much for her, even with the assistance of the Paragon Seal of Authority. When the other Kings saw this, they hurriedly took action to reduce the pressure on Lu Qing'er.

Lu Qing'er bit her lips. Her Frozen Nightmare was indeed a frightening art. If she had not perfected her Genesis Seed, her own flesh and blood would have turned to ice as well, ending her life. Even so, she did not give up. This was the counterattack Lu Taiyi had sacrificed himself to make possible. If she could not seal all three of them, his sacrifice would have been in vain.

Lu Qing'er took a deep breath as her slender, jade-like fingers wiped the blood from her mouth, her beautiful eyes filled with determination. If there was no other path, she would sacrifice herself. To her, this wasn't that bad of a decision. With that in mind, she began to form a series of seals with her bloodstained fingers.

However, just as she started taking action, a voice rang out from beside her. "Qing'er, let me help you!"

She paused, turning to her side. A girl with a pure and pretty face had made her way over to her at some point, her large black eyes sparkling with life. It was Bai Mengmeng.

Lu Qing'er fell into a momentary daze, as though thinking of something. However, she very quickly snapped back to attention and nodded. "Thank you."

Bai Mengmeng shook her head hurriedly, then she took a deep breath, her eyes filled with resolution. In her heart, she whispered,

"Rainbow Butterfly Elder Sister, I know you are still in hibernation, but I really need your strength right now. So please lend it to me!"

This earnest plea echoed through her mind. A moment later, a brilliant light blossomed within Bai Mengmeng's eyes, and a pair of gorgeous and bright butterfly wings extended from behind her.
