Chapter 2628: 11: The Glorious Era Has Faded

The ancient Celestial Prison, the Monster Realm of today, can be said to be the closest large world to the present world,as the new world birthed by the Ancient Demon Emperor breaking through the Chaotic World. Even after long evolutions, it still can’t completely shake off the threat of Chaos.

Despite countless Heaven Demon Dharma Altars illuminating here, even shining through multiple eras, it still harbors many dangerous places, like irreparable scars of the Monster Realm, preventing this world from fully connecting and flourishing like the present world with countless miles of civilized fertile land.

In the Monster Realm, natural barriers like Frost Wind Valley are not unique. From another angle, they have extended the wars between humans and demons over several eras, leaving many buffer zones.

In places without natural barriers, humans and demons build large cities and confront each other, battling endlessly.

Among those natural barriers, Frost Wind Valley is rather special.

In the region surrounding Frost Wind Valley, the boundary of heaven and earth completely separates the two sides, prohibiting north-south passage. Frost Wind Valley is the only natural passage.

Yet here, extreme cold winds persist year-round; whether human or demon, the weak freeze upon sight, die upon contact. Even the strong cannot endure for long.

Only in the winter month of the present world does it briefly disperse.

And this time marks when humans and demons unleash their brutal fights in Frost Wind Valley.

Because the passage of Frost Wind Valley is narrow and its open duration brief, neither humans nor demons can completely claim it.

Eleven months of silence is enough to trap any strong fighter in enemy territory.

But no one can surrender Frost Wind Valley, for in the month when the extreme cold wind disperses, it becomes a bridge to the opposing territory.

To say Frost Wind Valley in the winter month is a grinder of flesh is not an exaggeration.

There are several such grinders, and at critical moments, both humans and demons need to send a large number of strong fighters into them.

In this winter month, seemingly colder than usual, the demon clan on the other side of Frost Wind Valley increases their forces significantly.

Stone Rhino Demon King Xi Yanbing, Sky King Ying Kexun, and Heavenly Sea King Shi Shanwen are the strongest three warriors on the demon side in Frost Wind Valley.

Mountain Collision King Lu Qiyi, dog-eared demon clan whose corpse just left the body of the Lovesickness Sword, in the vast demon clan’s territory, are considered regional leaders. Just because they’ve never encountered Jiang Wang, unlike their vigilance towards Ji Zhaonan and Chunyu Gui, they rushed in recklessly and met a swift death.

Among the three kings of Frost Wind Valley, Stone Rhino Demon King Xi Yanbing has fought the longest in Frost Wind Valley, and is considered an old rival of Ji Zhaonan and Chunyu Gui—the other demon kings who could also become old rivals were killed by Ji Zhaonan and his companions in past battles.

Of course, the other strong human fighters who came here with Ji Zhaonan and Chunyu Gui have not survived.

In the past, Frost Wind Valley mostly maintained a balanced state.

They fought each other, back and forth. Those lacking in cultivation were bitterly defeated here, while strong fighters like Ji Zhaonan, Chunyu Gui, and Xi Yanbing honed their edges and emerged.

Rarely did overwhelming outcomes occur, whether north or south.

But this time is different.

Sky King Ying Kexun and Heavenly Sea King Shi Shanwen joined the Frost Wind Valley battlefield one after another, almost wiping out the strong human fighters on this side.

Luckily, they persevered until the Frost Wind Return, and the fighting temporarily stopped. Only then did the humans get a short respite and Ji Zhaonan went for reinforcements citing faster speed.

Otherwise, Frost Wind Valley would surely have fallen this time, and those demons will end up all over.

The so-called "Frost Wind Return" is the phenomenon where the extreme cold wind in Frost Wind Valley doesn’t fully disperse, even during winter month, occasionally returning. The timing is completely random and fighters must handle it themselves, getting away timely. As it gets closer to the last month of the year, this phenomenon becomes more frequent until the extreme cold wind fills Frost Wind Valley and never disperses again.

Ji Zhaonan wasn’t the only one to go for reinforcements, just the first to return.

And as one of the strongest fighters on the human side of Frost Wind Valley, Ji Zhaonan went for reinforcements, leaving Chunyu Gui to hold the ground—thus he cursed the loudest.

Jiang Wang’s arrival is undoubtedly a shot of life, greatly boosting morale. But whether they can survive this calamity, or if it’s just a flashback, remains uncertain.

Currently, Frost Wind Valley is still under the cover of the Lion Roar.

The valley shakes, heaven and earth Yuan Force is in chaos, and human warriors deliberately targeted are stumbling.

Jiang Wang uses Observing Freedom Ear combined with Voice Broadcast Immortal Style plus Conquering Outter Path Vajra Thunder Sound, only able to maintain his "freedom," without breaking the Divine Skills of Heavenly Sea King.

Yet he stares directly at the so-called demon Heavenly Sea King, after killing two God-approaching level demon clan members, and boldly challenges with Thunder Sound.

This action greatly inspires the people!

Regarding the story of Qi Country Marquis Wu’an, some parts are nearly mythical.

When discussing heroes worldwide normally, there are those who scoff and refuse to believe.

But at this moment, watching the upright figure standing in wind and snow, many human cultivators, regardless of their country, sect, or allegiance, have a fleeting belief—miracles are happening,

because the human genius who accomplished many incredible feats has arrived.

Shi Shanwen’s mighty figure stands high in the sky, amidst the wind and snow, like a golden-armored war god. He bears no other demon marks, only those splendid golden curls, seemingly aflame.
