A Man Like None Other

Chapter 5853

When David and his companions finally arrived at the depression surrounded by three towering ice peaks, night had already fallen on the Eternal Ice Plains.

There were no stars in the sky, only the aurora borealis, like flowing, colorful rivers, dancing silently in the dark firmament, illuminating the entire ice plain with a bizarre and surreal light.

At the center of the depression, the Blood Soul Cold Pool, no more than ten zhang in diameter, gleamed with an eerie dark red light under the aurora. The water was calm and still, yet it exuded a chilling aura and a bloody stench that sent shivers down one’s spine.

Beside the pool, the thousand-year-old Ice Soul Blood Lotus swayed gently in the cold wind, its nine petals as crystalline as rubies, its central bud as crimson as blood, seemingly ready to bloom at any moment.

However, the forbidden protective array that enveloped the entire depression stood like an insurmountable chasm.

Ancient and intricate divine runes flowed across the icy blue light screen, and at the ends of the icy blue chains hanging from it, the ferocious phantoms of ice beasts flickered in and out, radiating a chilling pressure.

Even more unsettling was what lay behind the array—deeper into the three ice peaks, a magnificent ice crystal palace complex, beyond description, stood silently amidst the night and aurora. The

Northern Underworld Palace.

It was not a single palace, but a continuous cluster of undulating ice crystal buildings.

The main hall stood a thousand feet tall, carved entirely from millennia-old black ice and earth’s core jade, crystal clear, reflecting the magnificent colors of the aurora, yet retaining a cold and austere sacred majesty.

Countless smaller palaces, towers, and covered bridges surrounded the main hall like stars around the moon, connected by ice crystal staircases and suspended corridors, forming a magnificent yet perilous ice crystal city.

Faintly visible within the city were flickering ice-blue lights, and powerful auras emanated from it.

The entire palace complex exuded an ancient, aloof, and inviolable aura, like a slumbering ice and snow deity.
