This was a world of ice! Ice and snow covered the place, leading the ground to sparkle. Even the hills and rivers were made of ice! The vegetation that was spread around the area was covered with frost as well. Flowers bloomed and trees bore fruit, all with a terrifying chill. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Things that looked like ribbons hung from large trees, with eyeballs that looked like longans on them, emitting a blue lustre.

'It is mind blowing to think that this whole place is just the creation from the Rank 7 Law being's single drop of blood radiation!' Leylin touched his chin, and a powerful soul force scanned over a large area. Just a droplet of fresh blood from the original body had such a powerful effect. How powerful would the original body have been?

The beings within thousands of kilometers seemed to have met their natural predator. Whether it was the mountainous icy monsters or the tiny snowflake bugs, everything fell to the ground, trembling.

After a long moment, Leylin opened his eyes once more.

"This place could be used to form a base for my faction in Twilight Zone, with an area of around tenth of the surface it's quite vast." There was naturally more than just one layer underneath the Magus World. There were seven layers that the ancient Magi had taken over in Ancient times, and the further one went the more dangerous it was. There were even existences like Matriarch of the Abyss.

Of course, the resources there were more plentiful as well. They could be called places where risk met reward.

Twilight Zone was merely a small part in the first layer, and it was quite a normal place. It was only a region which was isolated from the external world, the icy cave on the other hand were just between the gap of first two layers.

When the Scorpion Man fell through the spatial rifts that popped up during that ancient battle, he was transported here. The continuous radiation from the blood of the female bronze giant had transformed this area until it grew similar to the Icy World. It even included the formation of a large number of creatures of the ice.

Leylin's face was expressionless as he looked around the vast icy cave with slight astonishment in his heart, to observe the creation of an ecosystem artificially is so unreal. There was once a time where he cannot even fathom them properly despite his knowledge but now he stands at the cusp of this boundless sensational ability.

Existences like those that had stepped across the two-thirds of realms and entered rank 7 were the most troublesome, as they had grasped laws.

Leylin knew full well of the powerhouse hiding here as he felt no fear or reservation towards them, at his current realm it's just looking down on himself hence after entering the Icy World, he used his soul force and probe the area without fear of inadvertently alerting any enemy. Power was enough to pulverise all conspiracies.

When the formidable soul force of a breaking dawn swept across the area, the entire world of ice started to bubble with activity. With Leylin powers its impossible for a mere Morning Star to capture his activity but he purposely exposed himself just to make it more interesting, it was like a Lion playing with its prey. Leylin isn't actually a sadistic person but every once in a while it feels good to face slap someone.

Leylin moderated his strength undulation to match that of a Morning Star but even the power of a rank 4 was something that a great many of the icy beasts could not resist. When Leylin's soul force swept over, they could only lower their heads to express their humility, hoping that they wouldn't anger the owner of this soul force.

The energy level at Morning Star, however, also awakened other presences.

In the depths of a castle constructed completely with ice, the frost radiation was so rich that it had hit its limit. Colourful streams of light could even be seen twinkling continuously in the air.

"Arwen!" A cold voice resonated in thin air. Although there was no radiation of energy, it could make the surrounding space tremble faintly.

"Your Majesty, your most loyal servant Arwen is here!" An elderly man dressed in the clothes of a butler walked out of thin air and kneeled towards the source of the voice. He looked incomparably respectful. This man's hair was combed so neatly that not a single strand was out of place, yet his eyes shone with a strange crimson radiance.

His skin was eerily fair, exposing translucent green veins and red arteries.

"Did you sense it?" The female voice asked.

"Yes! A foreign Morning Star has arrived in your territory!" The old man spoke with respect. He was able to sense that Leylin's soul force was different, which had to be of Morning Star rank at the very least!

"A foreign Morning Star is very important to my evolution. Go! Capture him and bring him to me!" the female voice said.

"Your wish is my command!" The old man accepted his orders respectfully and retreated.

It was when he got up that an abnormality appeared. While the top half of his body had the appearance of a human, the bottom half strangely took the form of a scorpion.

"Noble Arctic Knight, Duchess Rose!" Leylin laughed without reservation as he saw the members of the village all crouch on the ground, loudly praising the Arctic Knight.

Arctic Knight coldly snorted, "All of you have committed a crime! You actually dared to interact with this criminal here. But seeing that you did not let him enter the hill village, I will spare you this time"

The Arctic Knight brandished her huge sword, but did not take further action.

"As for you, foreigner, return with me to the castle! The Arctic Queen wishes to see you!"

*Swish!* The many giant guards turned their spears towards Leylin.

With their physique and their resistance towards the cold, an average rank 3 Magus would be unable to handle the all-round attack of this small team.

But Leylin didn't seem to mind a single bit, and even asked with interest, "You should have followed Arwen's command."

"What?" The Arctic Knight was clearly startled looking at Leylin warily. She straddled her giant horse and stopped a bit away from Leylin as she remember being told that she have to be careful and immediately send out a signal once she see him, particularly that she should not confront this foreigner alone.

Leylin laughed lightly, which gave Duchess Rose a bad feeling.

"You-" Almost the moment these words left her mouth, a few black sparks appeared on the bodies of the surrounding troops.

*Boom!* More than ten beast of flames burst out in amidst the guards. The guards who had an even stronger physique than frost giants were burnt to ashes without a chance to resist.

"No!" Duchess Rose roared, and the huge ice horse that she was on suddenly leapt up. The Duchess on the horse's back brandished the gigantic translucent sword in her hand. The flames on the sword rose suddenly and ruthlessly came down upon Leylin.

*Ting!* The huge sword with terrifying strength that had advanced without fear was stopped midair a bit away from a yawning Leylin, unable to budge an inch.

"You don't need to feel bad as your mission is already a success. Arwen never once thought that you could capture me, your job was just to stall. But what a joke even that is! it's not him finding me but me allowing him to meet his end." Leylin spoke something which she couldn't understand as a crescent of light hummed and pierced through the Arctic Knight's armour, forming a humongous slit. Her body was flung backwards as fast as an incoming train, leaving a deep gutter trail in the solid ice, which extended far into the distance.

Even the huge arctic horse she'd ridden was smashed and shattered by the tremendous force, splintering apart into a heap of sparkling fragments.

"..."

""

Silence. The entire scene had fallen into a deathly silence. The village leader found it hard to even swallow his saliva. He looked at Leylin, unable to believe his eyes.

'What the fuck!'

The Duchess Rose who had been renowned for her strength, the Arctic Knight who struck fear into the hearts of all the denizens of the world of ice, was defeated by this mysterious Magus without even him making a single move.

It was not just him. The other frost giants and others had lifeless looks on their faces as well. They felt like they were hallucinating.

"Do you welcome me now?" Leylin turned and smiled at the village leader. Yet, to him it seemed like the smile of a demon.

A few timid snow creatures were so intimidated that they hid behind the a few giants, as though Leylin was some ancient fearsome creature.

"Of Of course!" The Leader nodded, "Please forgive my rude behaviour earlier. Respected lord, My name is Estam and I welcome you.."

Leylin smiled wickedly turning his attention away from Estam, "You don't need to welcome me in your village since it would cease to exist soon."

"What!"
