In front of the palace, Huston flashed a look of rage upon hearing the threats from the Ice Venerable Master overhead.
He answered back loudly, looking up at the Ice Venerable Master “Ice Venerable Master, ten millenniums ago, the Golden Emperor sealed you away. It’s disappointing to see that you haven’t reflected on your actions.
“Now, you once again start your onslaught against my Golden Tower Empire. Rest assured, your evil deeds will come back to haunt you.”
Up in the sky, upon hearing the Huston’s words, the Ice Venerable Master seethed with rage.
He immediately saw that this Emperor of the Golden Tower Empire was merely at the level of a Cultivation Grandmaster, which, to an ascension level cultivator like him, was laughably weak.
Yet, it was this very Emperor, so weak, who dared to curse him with retribution.
The Ice Venerable Master was so incensed he wished he could twist off Huston’s head right then and there.
“A mere Emperor dares to speak to me with such insolence, truly courting death,” the Ice Venerable Master bellowed with cold fury.
“It’s you who doesn’t seem to know the meaning of death,” came a cool, collected voice at that moment.
The sharp gaze of the Ice Venerable Master in the sky instantly turned towards the speaker.
He found that the person speaking was a very ordinary–looking young man in his early twenties.
“Who are you?” he barked in anger.
“I am Gilmore Reed,” replied Gilmore, looking up, meeting the Ice Venerable Master’s gaze squarely, neither servile nor overbearing.
Indeed, it was Gilmore who had just spoken.

The Ice Venerable Master’s eyes locked onto Gilmore and he said, “So, you are the Gilmore who brought about the demise of our Ice Clan and the key player in the Golden Tower Empire, Levi?”
Gilmore nodded, “The traitor Levi was indeed killed by me.”
While it was Huston who ordered the execution of the national advisor Levi, it was Gilmore who had defeated him, thwarted his coup, and ultimately led to his demise.
So, Gilmore took the responsibility for Levi’s death onto himself.
The Ice Venerable Master spoke with a chilling voice, “Good, since you’ve admitted it, that shows courage. Once I break this formation, I’ll kill you and this Emperor together.”
But Gilmore simply looked at the Ice Venerable Master and said. “This formation, you can’t break.”
The
eyes
of the Ice Venerable Master widened in an instant, his rage boiling over, wishing he could tear Gilmore to shreds.
“Young man, you didn’t set up this formation, how would you know I can’t break it?” the Ice Vener venomously.
Gilmore responded calmly, “Ice Venerable Master, you’re right, I did set up the formation.
“Not just the one in Fensville, but every city in the Golden Tower Empire is laced with my formations.
e Master hissed
“Have you managed to breach any of them?”
Hearing this, the Ice Venerable Master’s eyes bulged to the brink as if they were about to pop out of their sockets, a mix of shock and fury washing over him.
His facial muscles began to twitch violently, clearly driven to the edge of rage.
Similarly, the eight Ice Kings and the Ice Clan army in the sky were utterly astonished upon learning that the formations around the cities of the Golden Tower Empire were laid by Gilmore, especially seeing that he was just a young man in his early twenties.
The fact that he could set up formations in so many cities that even the Ice Venerable Master couldn’t break through shocked them to their core. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
With a piercing look, the Ice Venerable Master stared at Gilmore and said, “So you’re the one who laid the formations. May I ask who this expert is from?”
Gilmore replied, “An expert I am not, just a nobody from Eldoria.”
Eldoria?
Not just the Ice Venerable Master in the sky, but everyone else was baffled, unclear about what place Eldoria was.
Even Huston, Amy, and Yacouba were scratching their heads, “What place is Eldoria?”
The reason being, the Golden Tower Empire was completely sealed off from the rest of the world, and its inhabitants had never left this sealed world.
Thus, they were naturally clueless about the outside world and its nations of the 21st century.
Gilmore, of course, didn’t bother explaining to the Ice Venerable Master.
Whether the Ice Venerable Master knew of Eldoria or not didn’t matter.
What mattered was that his assault on Fensville was doomed to fail.
“Eldorian lad, if your formations are so formidable, do you dare to come out and test your mettle against me?” the Ice Venerable Master sneered at Gilmore.
Gilmore was more than willing.
However, with a lazy drawl, he replied, “If you want to take me on, break through my Demon Formation first.”
This nearly gave the Ice Venerable Master a stroke out of sheer frustration.
In fact, his reason for wanting a one–on–one battle with Gilmore was that he hadn’t sensed a particularly strong power from him.
To the Ice Venerable Master, Gilmore might have an innate talent and profound understanding of formations, but his own cultivation might not be exceptionally strong – certainly not stronger than the Ice Venerable Master.
That was why he challenged Gilmore to a duel.
Yet Gilmore had flat–out rejected his challenge.
While this stoked the fires of rage in the Ice Venerable Master, it also made him more certain that Gilmore was apprehensive, feeling inferior in strength and too afraid to face him directly.
A fierce glint sparked in the Ice Venerable Master’s eyes as he declared, “Fine, then I will break this formation and show you.”

With that, he slowly lifted his right hand.
As he raised his hand, an immense and boundless aura of power emanated from him.
Then, with a flash of light from the storage ring on his finger, an object appeared.
It was a crystal–clear, cone–shaped item, no more than a few inches long, but it radiated an invisible yet immense aura characteristic of a spiritual weapon.
The Ice Venerable Master held the ice cone aloft with one hand while forming hand seals with the other, muttering incantations under his breath.
Soon, in tandem with the hand seals and the incantations, the ice spike slowly rose from his palm and flew up into the higher void.
Suddenly, a burst of dazzling white light, like a flurry of snow, crupted from the ice spike.
The light almost enveloped the whole world, covering the skies.
At that moment, the Ice Venerable Master bellowed, “Ice Cone, strike!”
Following his command, that tiny ice spike, in an instant, unleashed an astonishing and limitless energy.
A cacophony of cracking sounds filled the air.
Then, in the void, starting from the ice spike, ice began to form at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It grew from one yard to ten, from a hundred to several hundred, then to a thousand, and tens of thousands of yard…
In just a few breaths, a gigantic ice mountain, wide enough to rival the size of the entire Fensville and soaring tens of thousands of feet high, materialized in the sky above the city.
This sight left the tens of thousands of royal guards in the palace, Huston, Amy, Yacouba, speechless with shock.
Lilian, Claire, Christine, and the other women were greatly astonished.
Such a colossal ice mountain, they thought, could only bring devastation if it were to fall. They could imagine that the protective formation over Fensville might not withstand the terrifying force of the ice mountain.
And if the formation failed to hold, every building, palace, and person below would be reduced to dust.
