In the night, after flying past the icy land, Chu Mu noticed that the atmosphere had gradually turned extremely cold.

The bellowing cold winds were so strong that they could cut the skin easily. Without any thick fur like those iceberg monsters and the birds, it would probably be impossible to endure living in such a terrible environment.

Such coldness was really abnormal, as New Moon Land could only be considered a third rank earth realm.

The strength of humanity was rapidly growing, but the soul pets that were inhabiting New Moon Land had no reason to instantly power up to suddenly match the strength of humanity.

There must be a mastermind behind this incident!

“Night, can you sense anything?” asked Chu Mu.

Night shook its head and simply headed towards a direction that it had judged was suspicious based on its instincts.

Many monsters were wandering on the land below them. He could occasionally see one or two Dominator rank iceberg monsters amongst them.

Those Dominator rank creatures could not have originally been from New Moon Land. They might have come from the Glacier Dynasty further up North. There was an enormous kingdom of ice type creatures there.

“Mo!”

Suddenly, an emperor-like roar resounded from deep within the pitch black ice mountains, causing the entire surroundings to tremble heavily.

After that terrifying roar echoed, the entire glacier seemed to have started boiling. Those iceberg monsters began running ahead crazily and excitedly!

“Houhouhou!”

“Gggrrrrr!”

The roaring of countless monsters were echoing throughout the glacier. Their consciousness seemed to be under the control of something as they left their habitat and began to invade the human territory!

“Young master, that is Battle Cry, an ancient racial technique,” Old Li’s voice drifted into Chu Mu’s ears.

“What’s its effect?” asked Chu Mu.

“Soul pets possessing such ability are usually the subspecies of the highest bloodline species within a race. They are born with the ability to rule and they possess the greatest power within the entire race. The other subspecies mostly live depending on them or they become able to utilize great strength through them...... Once such rulers use Battle Cry, it's practically the same as applying the Bloodthirsty Berserk Transformation to these subspecies. Furthermore, the effect from such Bloodthirsty Berserk Transformation will not disappear with time. It may even become a permanent strength boost as they continue with their invasion,” explained Old Li.

“No wonder those monsters have dared to invade the human territory,” Chu Mu began pondering.

If those monsters could obtain a permanent strength boost through killing, then they would definitely continue killing in order to obtain even greater strength. Since they could not kill their own species, they chose to invade the humans.

“Can you deduce what creature it is?” asked Chu Mu.

“I can only say that it’s from an ancient ice type race. Many creatures with the Immortal rank bloodline possess such racial ruling ability. When young master becomes a half devil, your devil domain can also similarly raise the strength of the subspecies of the Nightmare race around you,” replied Old Li.

Chu Mu traveled in a hurry towards the source of that roar and noticed that the rank of the iceberg monsters was gradually increasing the closer he approached.

The continent was vast. As Chu Mu had gained more experience, his encounter with Dominator rank creatures had also become more frequent. After all, he had been visiting the high ranking Bewildering Worlds.

However, it was rare for him to encounter a Dominator rank creature during his travels. Even Emperor rank creatures were rarely seen in some places.

Considering the current situation of New Moon Land, high ranking creatures should only appear in some of the isolated spaces. Creatures within New Moon Land itself and the surrounding Forbidden Regions should hardly surpass the Dominator rank.

The stretch of land that Chu Mu was flying over belonged to New Moon Land’s North Ice Forbidden Region. It was already rare to see one or two Dominator rank creatures here, yet the place that Chu Mu had just flew past had over a hundred ice type Dominators present!

Chu Mu had seen over a thousand Dominators forming an army and showing up together in the Imprint Valley and was not really astonished about seeing a flood of Dominators. However, this place was not the third layer of the sky like Imprint Valley, it was New Moon Land. Having over a hundred Dominator rank creatures appearing in such a small place was an extremely abnormal situation.

Furthermore, Chu Mu was unsure if there were even more iceberg monster armies further in.

Chu Mu shook his head with a sigh and wondered.

Why do strange things keep happening in New Moon Land after I have become the king?

Or is it that strange things always happen in New Moon Land, just that I did not encounter them before and they were settled by some unknown force.

“Why are there so many......” Chu Mu frowned and finally stopped his advance in a large mountain.

Chu Mu possessed Immortal rank strength, so he obviously dared to fly within the glacier filled with monsters.

However, that did not mean that he was invincible. When he saw a vast Emperor and Dominator rank monster army in the mountain, he would not dare to step in any further!

“Young master, there are Immortal Rank creatures inside!” said Old Li.

Yes, Chu Mu sensed the existence of an Immortal rank. That chilling aura caused his hair to stiffen instantly!

Chu Mu could not believe that such a terrifying monster army was actually living in the North Ice Forbidden Region. No matter which border this monster army had flooded into, it would clearly turn into a blizzard disaster, let alone New Moon Land!

Chu Mu did not charge recklessly.

A thousand Dominator rank creatures unleashing their techniques at the same time was already enough to injure Chu Mu severely. The iceberg monster army currently inside this mountain had definitely exceeded the size of a thousand Dominators. There was also the presence of the Immortal rank, he would definitely be surrounded if he were to charge in recklessly.

“It’s abnormal, really abnormal!” said Old Li.

With Chu Mu’s current strength, there was no place in Zhengming Continent where he could not step into. He even had the confidence to pay a visit to the Glacier Dynasty.

However, he was actually forced to stop his advance in this North Ice Forbidden Region!

“Mo!”

The roar from that monster rang out loudly once again!

This time, Chu Mu could hear it clearly. The roar definitely came from the mountain right in front of him!

The blizzard swept directly towards him and forced him to take a few steps back.

Chu Mu deployed a spatial barrier in order to block the blizzard. As his gaze pierced sharply through the blizzard, he could vaguely see a humongous creature slowly moving within the mountain!

At first, Chu Mu had thought that it was the peak of a tall mountain. However, once he saw a pair of eyes, he realized that it was not a mountain, but a humongous ice beast that reached the clouds!

Its menacing eyes were filled with cruelty and a ruling ambition. It stared at Chu Mu who had invaded its territory with a glint of coldness and fury!

Opening its enormous mouth which was comparable in size to a cave, it roared out loudly again. The iceberg monsters all turned their gazes and focused on Chu Mu!

The densely packed blood red eyes on the land and the iceberg birds in the sky had immediately surrounded Chu Mu.

In an instant, the entire glacier rumbled heavily. The chilling killing intent had even frozen the air!

At that moment, Chu Mu finally sensed just how powerful that creature within this mountain was!

“Young master, this monster has a greater sensing ability than you, you have been discovered by it,” said Old Li.

“As if I need you to tell me that,” complained Chu Mu.

He could tell that this Glacier Troll Lord was clearly on par with him in strength. More importantly, its ice property would clearly suppress his ability. He could not gain a single advantage if they were to fight.

Furthermore, this Glacier Troll Lord had countless soldiers around it. Those iceberg monsters could completely exhaust Chu Mu even if the Glacier Troll Lord itself did not make a move.

Chu Mu immediately turned around and escaped without any hesitation.

Night’s strides and his own spatial transfer had allowed him to escape before those iceberg monsters could fully surround him.

Glacier Troll Lord was certainly very powerful, but its speed was far inferior to Chu Mu. Chu Mu saw the humongous body chasing after him for a short distance and quickly giving up.

Creatures below the Immortal rank could have hardly stopped Chu Mu. Especially when there was cooperation between spatial property and dark property, Chu Mu and Night could hardly be tracked down. Hence, after a short while, the commotion in the Glacier land had slowly died down after Chu Mu and Night disappeared.

Those monsters were just like a camped army. They were reserving their strength for a better opportunity. After a brief commotion broke out when Chu Mu had invaded their camp, they returned back to normal.

Chu Mu noticed that those monsters did not chase after him and he felt worried instead.

The better the army was organized, the scarier it would become. Those iceberg monsters were clearly up to something bad.

“Young master, you have seen that creature before,” said Old Li.

“That Glacier Troll Lord?” asked Chu Mu.

“Yes, its name is Extreme Sky Ice Beast, an ancient creature of the elemental type ice giant race. I had pointed it out to you in the Wind Palace before,” reminded Old Li.

“Wind Palace? This thing came out from that Ancient Flood Dragon Person’s Wind Palace? Why don’t I have any impression then?” asked Chu Mu in shock.

“Its size was shrunken down back then, this is its original size,” explained Old Li.

“It’s really Ancient Flood Dragon Person...... Has it awakened?” Chu Mu’s heart sank.

“Ancient Flood Dragon Person should not have awakened yet, the true Solar Eclipse has not arrived after all. However, those petrified subordinates must have awakened. This Extreme Sky Ice Beast should be one of them,” said Old Li.

“A mere subordinate of Ancient Flood Dragon Person is already so strong,” said Chu Mu with a bitter expression.

“Ancient Flood Dragon Person’s subordinates are all famous creatures from its era, how can they not be strong? Have you forgotten that there is also a Seven Sins Fox Dark Death King sealed amongst those subordinates?” said Old Li.
