Even for Lord Sirius, instantly killing Han Jue would prove somewhat difficult.
After all, Han Jue possessed a top-tier treasure set comparable to ordinary High Arcana, as well as the Ten Directions Lotus Sea, a High Arcana domain treasure, which could mitigate Lord Sirius's attacks to some extent.
Lord Sirius himself ranked among the weakest Universe Masters.
He hadn't even created an ultimate secret technique befitting a Universe Master's power and could only be considered a second-tier Universe Master. Relying on a High Arcana palace-type treasure, he was considered extremely adept at survival among second-tier Universe Masters, approaching the third tier in combat effectiveness.
Compared to Han Jue's teacher, the Ice Summit Master, or his uncle, the Primal Primal Chaos City Lord, he was far inferior.
Han Jue didn't know the Ice Summit Master's exact strength, but within the human race, he was a strong contender for the top five!
The stalemate on the battlefield didn't last long.
Long before Han Jue and Venerable Hellfire began fighting, everyone around had already fled. With the appearance of Lord Sirius, most of the Kings had escaped the Lotus Continent entirely, even fleeing the Sixth Battlefield itself, fearing being caught in the crossfire.
With a Universe Master making a move, no one on the entire battlefield could survive!
Han Jue kept a close eye on Lord Sirius's movements, ready to hide in Lotus Ancient City at the slightest sign of trouble.
Lord Sirius had indeed sealed off the surrounding spacetime, but Lotus Ancient City, as a High Arcana palace treasure, naturally didn't take Lord Sirius's spacetime sealing seriously!
If Han Jue hadn't been lacking in strength, he could have directly activated Lotus Ancient City to attack Lord Sirius, even suppressing both Lord Sirius and the Sirius Palace within Lotus Ancient City's interior.
Whoosh!
Claws tore through the void!
Lord Sirius finally couldn't hold back any longer and chose to extend his giant claws, attacking Han Jue directly!
Swish!
Han Jue was about to have Lian teleport him back to Lotus Ancient City when a white longsword blocked Lord Sirius's claws.
"Sirius, you've crossed the line!" a detached voice rang out.
"Ice Summit Palace! Frost Mist Realm!" Lord Sirius exclaimed in shock.
A crystal palace spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers materialized, its entire surface adorned with countless intricate carvings, radiating an ancient, chilling aura that seemed capable of freezing everything around it, freezing time and space, even slowing the operation of the universe's fundamental laws.
Immediately afterward, endless white mist spread in all directions, containing countless ice crystals, instantly covering the entire Lotus Continent!
Including the Sirius Palace, the entire Lotus Continent transformed into a world of ice and mist, everything enveloped within it.
Han Jue looked up in surprise and saw a figure standing within the endless white mist.
It was a silver-haired man with graying temples, wearing ancient armor stained with blood and wielding a sword.
The Ice Summit Master!
This was the first time Han Jue had met his teacher in real life. Previously, they had only interacted in the virtual universe.
"Ice Summit Master!" Lord Sirius roared, his eyes flashing with shock and anger as he stood before the Sirius Palace.
His entire body erupted in flames, pressing down on the surrounding ice mist, but the endless white mist suddenly generated an overwhelming force, extinguishing all the flames.
The Sirius Palace appeared incredibly small before the crystalline palace, seemingly on the verge of being suppressed.
"Not bad. I know what you did. To kill Venerable Hellfire at the World Master level, you did very well." The Ice Summit Master praised Han Jue a few times, ignoring Lord Sirius's roar, as if slapping him in the face.
Lord Sirius's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty as he looked at the Ice Summit Master.
As a Universe Master of the human race, the Ice Summit Master possessed the Ice Summit Palace, a Pinnacle Arcana of the flying palace category, and the Frost Mist Realm, a Top Arcana of the domain category!
Even the sword in his hand and the armor he wore were Top Arcana. His entire outfit was incredibly luxurious.
The Ice Summit Master was a fourth-tier Universe Master.
Killing Han Jue in front of him was impossible.
"Sirius, you've overstepped your bounds! You dare attack my disciple?" the Ice Summit Master said calmly, his sword pointing directly at Lord Sirius.
Lord Sirius dared not speak out, even though he was usually arrogant and unruly.
The Ice Summit Master was the type who was ruthless and taciturn!
The Primal Primal Chaos City Lord might have managed to get him to say a few words, but once the Ice Summit Master made a move, it was a deadly strike. With the Ice Summit Palace, a Pinnacle Arcana palace treasure present, he might actually suppress Lord Sirius.
Even if the demon race eventually ransomed Lord Sirius, he couldn't bear the loss of face or his treasure!
"Ice Summit," Lord Sirius said warily, taking a step back in fear.
"Your disciple possesses several High Arcana! If they weren't bestowed upon him by your human race, then I have reason to suspect he has obtained the inheritance of Lotus Ancient City! You know, Lotus Ancient City is a High Arcana among flying palaces. If the news gets out, the strongest beings in the universe will come to investigate!"
"That's a matter for my human race," the Ice Summit Master said coldly, still showing no sign of backing down.
On the contrary, Lord Sirius was forced to retreat even further by his pressure, almost hiding in the Sirius Palace.
"Ice Summit, you..."
Swish!
A sword light flashed.
The Ice Summit Master and Han Jue's fighting styles were actually quite similar. Otherwise, he wouldn't have created a secret technique like the "Ice Peak Sword Qi" for Han Jue.
A killing move with a single gesture!
Lord Sirius turned and hid in the Sirius Palace, which rapidly accelerated to the speed of light before entering the dark universe to escape.
Clearly, under the influence of the Top Arcana domain treasure, the Frost Mist Realm, even Lord Sirius, controlling a High Arcana palace treasure like the Sirius Palace, couldn't teleport away!
"Noisy!" The Ice Summit Master snorted coldly, clearly displeased.
Then, he looked down at Han Jue, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
"Not bad. A World Master creating a peak-level Universe Overlord secret technique, although only in its rudimentary form, it's still the first of its kind even in the entire Original Universe," the Ice Summit Master remarked. "Even with High Arcana, you now possess the combat power of a Universe Venerable."
"When you step into Immortality... you probably won't even need to reach that stage," the Ice Summit Master said.
Han Jue was now almost completely comprehending the fundamental laws of space.
"Once you reach the Immortal and Venerable levels, you should soon be able to reach the level of a Universe Overlord. A major opportunity will come in over ten thousand years, and that will be the time for you to truly shine!"
"However, there's something I still need to ask you," the Ice Summit Master solemnly said to Han Jue.
"Did you really obtain the inheritance of Lotus Ancient City?"
