Chapter 478 - A Strange Sight
GDK 478: A Strange Sight
This was a world of ice and snow. The coldest place on Profound Continent was right here. All along the way, cold wind whizzed. Snow covered every nook and cranny. It was a vast expanse of whiteness as far as the eyes could see. Trees, stones, rivers, all were encrusted in a layer of ice. It was as though the world had lost its colour.
However, within the coverage of Han Shuo’s consciousness, he sensed a trace of the presence of ice bears, snow wolves and frost eagles in this bone-numbingly cold region. These magical creatures, who preferred cold regions as their natural dwellings, roamed about in this remote, deserted world of ice and snow, adding a hint of vitality to this world.
Of the numerous mountain summits, Han Shuo had one specific target. His heart was as cold as ice, sterned to massacre as he flew at lightning speed.
The most formidable characters in the Shrine of Ice were the duo of Ice Celestial Corey and Snow Celestial Tiana. The two were the true backbones of the Shrine of Ice. Of the two, Snow Celestial Tiana once schemed against Han Shuo on the Sacred Mountain, with Han Shuo nearly being captured alive by the Church of Light. On the other hand, there was Ice Celestial Corey. Not only did he abuse the entire race of dark dragon, his actions even resulted in Gilbert’s death.
On top of that, the Shrine of Ice and the Church of Light were the of best allies. Han Shuo couldn’t find any reason not to retaliate against them.
Before he got close to the frozen mountain in the center, Han Shuo slowed down his flying speed. While his consciousness was still fully unfolded, he concealed the presence coming from his body. Carefully observing each and every movement on the main peak, he seeked a way to intrude without being detected.
Gathering up his attention, Han Shuo’s consciousness immediately sensed the existence of a frost and cold boundary all around the summit. The boundary enveloped the entire main peak of the mountain range with vigorously cold wind and ice. Within that cold wind and ice, Han Shuo sensed the presence of divine energy of the Ice Goddess.
This discovery made Han Shuo even more cautious in his approach. He further slowed down his advance towards the shrine of ice on the main peak. In his heart, he rapidly turned over in his mind how to deal with the situation he was presented with.
One after another, disciples of the Shrine of Ice entered and exited the frozen mountain. Yet, the huge boundary made no warning signals nor defensive responses.
Han Shuo was puzzled. Looking at the back of metal elite zombie, Han Shuo didn’t hesitate to transmit, “Why did you stop?’
“Father, look!” metal elite zombie leaned to one side. The rocks around him pulled back a little, making enough space for Han Shuo and metal elite zombie to stand shoulder to shoulder.
Han Shuo strode over to the empty spot that metal elite zombie specifically let out, and cast his sight following the upward direction that metal elite zombie pointed to with his right hand. He was immediately dumbstruck by what he saw.
In front of Han Shuo was a big chamber made by hollowing out the mountain rocks. There stood a magnificent, approximately sixty meter tall statue of the Ice Goddess, within the emptied insides of the mountain.
This grand, gargantuan statue of the Ice Goddess was made of ice as polished as perfect crystals. The carving was vivid and lifelike. She wore an expression as cold as ice, with her left hand holding firmly onto a crystal staff also carved from ice, appearing as though she was fighting against some wicked demon. Her look was solemn and dignified, giving off a sacred feeling of inviolability.
The Ice Goddess statue was dressed in a unusual striped robe. But as the entire graven image was made of the same block of solid ice, Han Shuo could clearly see her body interiors.
Inside the body of the carving, there were no internal organs, but a mixture of iced water and some peculiar substances was circulating within. It glistened like diamond as it slowly flowed through her body in some kind of strange pattern.
However, in the lower abdomen of the statue of the Ice Goddess where the uterus should have been, stood a fully-naked, beautiful young lady with jade-like skin. Her eyes were serenely shut, and emanated not an iota of the presence of life. She possessed such beauty that could give the Saintess of the Church of Light a run for her money – so perfect it seemed impossible that it could exist in this world!
Han Shuo stood below the statue. When he raised his head to look at this majestic carving of the Ice Goddess, a feeling of insignificance surfaced from the bottom of his heart. He was momentarily awestruck by this Ice Goddess statue in the center of the mountain that appeared out of nowhere.
The only certainty was that this statue had been carved from just one massive chunk of ice. There must have been a justification for the Shrine of Ice to hollow out the insides of the mountain and place in it such an enormous statue of the Ice Goddess. After Han Shuo came to his senses, he was shocked to the core, his eyes glittering.
The naked young lady situated in the womb of the Ice Goddess statue was ice cold and without any trace of life. Han Shuo’s consciousness also could not detect any soul fluctuation. No matter how, he could not understand why there would be such an odd scene in the interior of this mountain.
While Han Shuo was still perplexed and pondering, rasping sounds suddenly came from the rock wall above the statue. WIth Han Shuo watching attentively, a huge platform slowly protruded from the wall. A few disciples of the Shrine of Ice stood on the platform.
At the first rasping noise that sounded, Han Shuo instinctively stepped backward and hastily sent a command to metal elite zombie. Metal elite zombie made one sweep with his hand. The passageway opening in front of him rapidly shrunk. By the time the rock platform above the statue fully extended, the passageway before Han Shuo and metal elite zombie had shrunken to just one small fissure remaining.
