Chapter 292 Ch-292: Ice Immunity
"Does this woman want to kill me? Damn..." Wang Ming grumbled as he forced himself to his feet, preparing to launch another attack. But just as he was about to act, he found his movements were sluggish.
"Huh?" Wang Ming's eyes widened in panic as he hurriedly checked his condition. His lips twitched in disbelief when he realized, that tiny bits of frost was forming on his skin.
"Primordial Ice Maker and Manipulation: Dark Palace," Bai Lingxi's cold voice echoed as she activated another ability.
Suddenly, a system notification appeared before Wang Ming's eyes.
[Ding Dong]

Bai Lingxi looked at Wang Ming, who was panting heavily on the ground. She could sense that his spiritual energy reserves had been severely depleted. A triumphant smile briefly appeared on her face, but it quickly vanished.
"No, I can't underestimate him. Who knows what kind of tricks he still has up his sleeve? I can't take the risk. I need to go all out," Bai Lingxi muttered to herself. She knew exactly how unpredictable Wang Ming could be, having stayed by his side from the beginning.
"Primordial Ice Maker and Manipulation: Dark Palace," Bai Lingxi said firmly, taking a deep breath. As soon as the words left her mouth, the snowstorm grew even more violent, its intensity causing the crowd to shiver even more. They could feel that stepping even a little closer to the stage might freeze them instantly.
A throne made of pure black ice materialized behind Bai Lingxi. She gracefully sat down, and a crown of ice formed on her head, radiating a cold aura.
Rumble
The ground trembled as enormous columns of ice erupted upward, lifting her throne high into the air. Within seconds, an immense palace of pure ice took shape on the stage.
This time, instead of mere hundreds, thousands of ice soldiers rose from the ground. Some of them radiated the terrifying spiritual energy of the Golden Core Realm Formation.

[Traces of Ice Laws detected]
[Host is facing a law-based attack]
Wang Ming's eyebrows rose as he read the message. Soon, he felt the temperature drop even further while his gaze fixed on Bai Lingxi.
"Shit," Wang Ming cursed, his body shivering for the first time from the cold. He felt as though he would turn into an ice popsicle at any moment, and he was dangerously close to becoming an ice sculpture as his skin turned pale, with a thin layer of frost forming on its surface.
His lips twitched as his eyes fell on Bai Lingxi. He watched as the gigantic ice palace appeared, and this time, instead of hundreds, thousands of ice soldiers materialized. Some even possessed Golden Core Realm cultivation.
"She won't kill me, right?" Wang Ming muttered nervously.
His lips trembled further as he saw Bai Lingxi looking at him with a haughty expression.
'I feel like a commoner in the presence of a queen. But this commoner has already tasted the queen,' Wang Ming joked internally, though his nerves tensed as the army began advancing toward him.
He was about to move, but his expression changed when he realized he couldn't move at all.
Using his spiritual sense to check his condition, he was shocked to discover his blood was freezing—literally.
"System, what the hell is happening?" Wang Ming asked in panic.
[System Message: Is the host dumb? Did you not see the message at the top?]
"I did, but there are only traces! Why is it so formidable?" Wang Ming asked, ignoring the system's taunt.
[System Message: The reason is the bloodline. It utilizes the highest form of Ice Law. Even traces of it are deadly to Godlen Core Realm Cultivators ]
The system explained, and Wang Ming was about to respond when more text appeared in front of him.

Wang Ming felt the intense cold decreased significantly as his physique adapted. The frost that had been forming on his body stopped and completely disappeared, but he still found himself unable to move.
He muttered something and a new notifications popped out .
[Primordial Physique Merging Body has detected an abnormal situation in the blood.]
[Awakening new skill...]

"Did I go too far?" Bai Lingxi muttered nervously as she saw Wang Ming covered in frost. She raised her hand to cancel her technique and stop her soldiers, but her hand froze mid-air when she saw what happened next.
The frost forming on Wang Ming's body had stopped, and under her gaze, it disappeared completely. Soon, she saw Wang Ming standing up, and her mood soured.
"As expected, I shouldn't stop—I should increase my attack," Bai Lingxi muttered.
"Giant Ice Trident!" Bai Lingxi chanted, and a massive ice trident formed in the sky. Just as she was about to launch it toward Wang Ming, she suddenly felt an overwhelming pressure crush down on her. She fell directly from her throne, spitting out a mouthful of blood onto the ground.
"What happened?" she gasped, her voice shaky. She had lost control, and not only did the trident dissipate, but the soldiers and the palace shattered into ice dust. She realized she might have fainted if it weren't for her cultivation and her bloodline's resilience.
