Chapter 548: Rainbow Ice Coffin

Mu Qiubo had grabbed Xia Fei by the ankle and dragged him into the Spatial Gate.

“DIE!”

Mu Qiubo roared as he threw Xia Fei out!

Xia Fei curled up his body into a ball, his Liquid War armor tightly enclosing him.

*Rumble!*

Xia Fei’s body collided with an iceberg, blasting open a hole as his body went through!

The flexibility of Liquid War armor provided him excellent protection, and though Xia Fei entered the iceberg like a bullet, he simply felt some numbness on his body and some dizziness, but he did not suffer any serious wounds.

The iceberg was enormous and covered in a thick layer of snow. The enormous shaking triggered an avalanche! In truth, the icebergs for the surrounding several hundred kilometers were all trembling!

Mu Qiubo’s eyes widened. Only now did he realize that he had come to an unfamiliar place. White glaciers as far as the eye could see and a strange rainbow flatly stretching out on the horizon… Everything was bizarre and cold!

*Bang!*

The iceberg behind Mu Qiubo began collapsing, starting from the middle. The upper half of the iceberg began to topple toward the location of the Spatial Gate!

“Not good!”

Mu Qiubo ran into the distance, and the snow and ice pursued. In the blink of an eye, that lonely little Spatial Gate was obliterated!

The enormous chunks of ice weighed ten thousand tons, and not even the Spatial Gate could stop it. However, Mu Qiubo was not too concerned about it. Although he did not know spatial traversal, he had a Spatial Compass that he could use.

The intense avalanche lasted for half an hour, and when the calamity was finally over, the field of ice had been completely transformed!

Mu Qiubo frowned. He could not see Mu Fuping anywhere in the area, but he had only been a bit behind her in going through the Spatial Gate. There was no way she could have run off so soon.

Mu Qiubo began to feel that something was wrong. His sharp senses told him that the key to the problem lied was Xia Fei.

“Spatial Recombination!”

Mu Qiubo came to the base of the mountain where Xia Fei was buried, and large chunks of ice and snow began to fly into the air, tossed far away.

Slowly, the mountain of ice began shrinking. If Xia Fei was hiding in the snow, he would be exposed eventually.

“He’s starting to search for you. What do we do?” Phantom grimly asked.

Xia Fei was hiding beneath a thick layer of ice, using his sharp sensory abilities to observe his surroundings. He was well aware that at the current rate at which the iceberg was disappearing, Mu Qiubo would discover him in less than five minutes.

Xia Fei had no confidence in taking on a Law Emperor of the Mu family, so he was determined to escape this place first.

*Whoosh!*

The Liquid War armor charged forms again, turning Xia Fei’s hands into sharp and cold blades. He swung his arms in a frenzy and began digging his way through the ice.

Mu Qiubo was trying to move away the ice and find Xia Fei, while the latter was digging a path to escape. If the two met, they would have to fight a bitter battle. At present, it was now a contest to see which was faster, Mu Qiubo’s ability to move mountains or Xia Fei’s ability to dig a path!

Mu Qiubo suddenly grunted and took out two grade 4 Origin Crystals. Using law energy to move an iceberg was extremely taxing, and as a Law Emperor, he could not keep it up for very long. Thus, while using law energy, he used crystals to restore his energy.

Speed ability users did not just have fast feet. Their hands could also move fast!

Xia Fei’s arms could swing several hundred times every minute. An ordinary person would not even be able to see what he was doing, only a blur.

In the space of a few minutes, the iceberg had disappeared, and Xia Fei was about ten kilometers away from Mu Qiubo.

*Bang!*

Xia Fei emerged from the ice like an excavator, advancing toward that bizarre rainbow in the distance!

“Trying to run?!”

Mu Qiubo’s figure suddenly disappeared, and a second later, he was behind Xia Fei!

Xia Fei’s speed exceeded thirty thousand meters per second! Mu Qiubo had noted Xia Fei’s location and instantly moved there, but by the time he appeared where Xia Fei had been standing, Xia Fei had already run another several dozen kilometers, leaving him far behind!

Rows of nails sprouted from his feet. With each step, the nails would dig into the ice, helping Xia Fei keep his footing. Wherever he went, flecks of ice would fly into the air, creating an artificial snowstorm.

Mu Qiubo creased his brows, a cold smile on his lips.

*Whoosh~*

He moved again, but this time, Mu Qiubo had calculated Xia Fei’s route and appeared in front of him, blocking the path forward!

“Oh, no!”

Mu Qiubo extended an arm, releasing enormous amounts of law force. The ice suddenly became a giant wave which spanned ten kilometers, hurtling toward Xia Fei!

“Crafty Approach!”

He moved his body like an ice skater making a turn, his body leaning at suc h an acute angle that his head was almost touching the ice.

A ninety-degree turn!

This was an absurd movement technique! Xia Fei’s sudden change in direction was enough to let him escape Mu Qiubo’s attack.

Mu Qiubo continued pursuing Xia Fei, and Xia Fei continued using the same tactic, utilizing Crafty Approach and his speed ability to escape Mu Qiubo’s attacks again and again.

Mu Qiubo suddenly realized that Xia Fei was even more slippery than the crafty mudfish. Although he was much stronger than Xia Fei, capturing him was not easy.

“High-rank martial technique, Thunderwood Rampart!”

Mu Qiubo gritted his teeth and mustered up all his energy to use his strongest entrapment technique!

A sphere! A giant spherical spatial barrier suddenly appeared!

It had a radius of one hundred kilometers!

This also meant that any person or creature within one hundred kilometers was imprisoned by this spatial barrier!

Even at maximum speed, Xia Fei needed 3.3 seconds to run one hundred kilometers, and this was on ice, which limited Xia Fei’s speed. He could only run twenty-five thousand meters per second.

One hundred kilometers was an enormous distance, and it was clear that it was beyond Xia Fei’s abilities to break!

At almost the same time, the two grade 4 Origin Crystals in Mu Qiubo’s hand ran out of energy, becoming nothing more than useless transparent crystals. From this, one could see that the Thunderwood Rampart took up an enormous amount of energy.

*Whoosh!*

Mu Qiubo held a jade-green Origin Crystal with both hands. This was a grade 5 Origin Crystal! It held a veritable sea of energy!

“Spatial Constriction!”

The sphere of one hundred kilometers in radius began shrinking, and all people or objects within this space began being compressed! If Xia Fei could not break out of this spatial barrier soon, he would be crushed by the increasing pressure!

Mu Qiubo’s expression turned savage! The grade 5 Origin Crystal in his hand had greatly dimmed. There was no telling how much energy he had used at this moment!

“Primal Chaos!”

As he accelerated, the power of the Law of Primal Chaos gathered in Xia Fei’s right fist!

“Shatter it!”

A furious roar! Xia Fei’s iron fist clashed against the pressure of Mu Qiubo’s spatial barrier!

Crackling resounded in the air like the sound of bamboo explosively growing in the spring!

Mu Qiubo’s high-rank spatial barrier shattered!

From Xia Fei’s one punch!

*Bang!*

As he staggered out of the shattered barrier, Xia Fei felt a sweetness in his throat, and then he vomited blood!

On the other end, Mu Qiubo scowled. He had already reached his limit, his body emptied of energy. This was the inevitable response to using multiple high-rank techniques in a row!

Pushing through the pain in his organs, Xia Fei staggered to his feet. He held a grade 4 Origin Crystal in his hand to recover energy as he continued retreating.

There was nothing Mu Qiubo could do. He had not recovered his energy, so let alone martial techniques, he could not even do instant movement.

The ice field in front of him suddenly became flat and weird. That strange rainbow turned out to be giant pillars of ice, each one several dozen kilometers high and of a different color. They surrounded the field of ice, their colors reflecting onto the sky and turning it into a rainbow.

‘Eh? What is this place?’ Xia Fei wondered to himself in amazement.

However, before Xia Fei could react, his body ran into an invisible wall. Compared to the hardness of a spatial barrier, this invisible wall was like cotton, and Xia Fei’s body sank into it.

It had rubber-like properties, where greater pressure created a more powerful repulsive force. Xia Fei felt like the wall was getting tougher and tougher, and he was on the verge of being bounced back!

“Law of Primal Chaos!”

Xia Fei covered his entire body with the energy of the Law of Primal Chaos. The disruptive energy was miraculous that this law suddenly became like sea water, no longer resisting Xia Fei and allowing his body to go through.

In this inexplicable manner, Xia Fei penetrated through that invisible wall, and what appeared before him was a bizarre sight! There was nothing but colors before his eyes!

Several minutes later, Mu Qiubo arrived. He was also blocked by this soft and invisible wall. Behind the massive pillars of ice were bright and garish lights. It seemed like this was a barrier created by this light.

Xia Fei turned his head and saw Mu Qiubo standing a dozen or so meters away. Mu Qiubo did not have the Law of Primal Chaos, so he was pushed back by the barrier.

It was impossible to hear sounds from outside the wall while within it. Xia Fei could only make out Mu Qiubo’s furious face as he unleashed attacks on the wall, but unfortunately for him, his attacks were insufficient to break the wall.

Regardless, he was safe. Exhaling, Xia Fei began stabilizing his breathing and checked for injuries to his organs.

There was nothing Mu Qiubo could do, so he gestured at Xia Fei, his meaning being that: “You’ll have to come out of there one day.”

He took out a golden compass from his ring, and then his face once more twisted in rage. It appeared that a Spatial Compass could not help him. He was also imprisoned here.

Xia Fei felt a throb of pain from his stomach. Turning around, Xia Fei ignored Mu Qiubo and entered the rainbow of light, and he soon vanished from sight.

…

Xia Fei was surrounded by colors as if he were in a rainbow.

*Ka-chunk!*

The spectrum visor, which came with the Liquid War armor, popped out. Xia Fei tried using it several times to peer into the distance, but to no avail. It was as if this mess of color possessed some sort of isolation effect, and his equipment was incapable of filtering out the extraneous light.

With no other option, Xia Fei could only close his eyes and advance through the light. After that intense battle, what he needed the most was rest.

“These colorful lights are very strange. They don’t have any energy pulses, the same as that invisible wall before,” Phantom said with a frown. “Does it not have an energy body? Is it pure light? Pure light without energy? That doesn’t make much sense.”

Xia Fei ignored him. He had many more problems on his mind.

Suddenly, the rainbow of lights disappeared. Xia Fei was in the middle of a completely transparent and pure field of ice. The exquisite chunks of ice were free of all impurities, seeming like perfectly flat mirrors.

In the distance was a pyramid-shaped platform made from blocks of ice, and on top of the platform was a coffin.

A coffin made from both ice and light!

It was incredibly bizarre!
