As soon as the mirror-shaped mysterious-grade artifact was activated, Su Yan’s entire aura underwent an earth-shaking transformation.
She was clearly standing right next to Yang Kai, yet in the eyes of the four experts from the Kang and Qiu families, she seemed to flicker in and out of existence, as if she were everywhere at once. In other words, this woman, at this very moment, had merged completely with this mysterious-grade artifact, becoming one with it and inseparable.
The four of them blanched, utterly unable to understand why this was happening.
The mysterious-grade artifact had obviously been brought out by Yang Kai. What right or ability did this woman possess to resonate with it so profoundly?
This phenomenon was also noticed by Yang Kai and Su Yan. They exchanged a glance, both seeing the excitement in the other’s eyes.
Before activating the mirror artifact, Yang Kai hadn’t expected such an effect.
But now, he understood.
Because he and Su Yan practiced the dual cultivation of the Dual Harmony Technique, their bodies and minds were bound by a layer of connection. To some extent, artifacts he refined could be used by her, and conversely, she could use artifacts she had refined.
It was as if they shared their artifacts.
Especially this ice-attribute mirror artifact, which perfectly matched Su Yan’s Zhenyuan attribute. It was practically custom-made for her.
She could unleash one hundred percent of this artifact’s power—something even Yang Kai couldn’t achieve, since the Zhenyuan in his own body was the complete opposite of the artifact’s attribute.
When he’d seized this artifact by Broken Mirror Lake, it had only been a whim based on its seemingly high grade. That casual act had now led to this situation.
“It’s a barrier and restriction-type artifact!” one of the Kang family experts observed his surroundings, his expression turning grave. The others nodded—they were knowledgeable enough to see this artifact’s formidable power at a glance.
The outer perimeter was enveloped by a layer of barriers and restrictions, creating a vast area suitable for battle. Without breaking through the barrier and restrictions, it was impossible to breach this artifact’s blockade.
But breaking that layer of barrier certainly wouldn’t be easy, especially with Yang Kai and Su Yan watching them like tigers. The four dared not make any rash movements.
A biting, cold wind howled. A thick layer of snow covered the ground, and large, feathery snowflakes continued to fall from the sky.
Even their Zhenyuan seemed frozen! The four frantically circulated their cultivation techniques, yet they still couldn’t resist the cold’s erosion. In less than a moment, frost had formed on their hair, beards, and clothing.
“How does it feel?” Yang Kai ignored the four experts and instead asked Su Yan.
“My power has increased so much. I feel like… I’m invincible!” Su Yan took a soft breath. The frigid air entering her nostrils filled her with immense comfort.
Su Yan wasn’t someone who spoke empty words. Since she said it, it meant that within this barrier and restriction, she truly was omnipotent!
Yang Kai laughed heartily. “Good! Then from now on, this artifact will be yours to use!”
“Mm.” Su Yan nodded slightly, making no move to decline. Accepting something from her own man was only natural.
Their conversation reached the ears of the four Shenyou Realm experts, immediately displeasing them. Though a mysterious-grade artifact was formidable, they were no ordinary fighters. How could they stomach being so slighted by two juniors?
“Let me test it,” Su Yan said softly. She raised a slender hand and flicked it casually toward the four.
The already biting wind suddenly grew even more frigid and howling. The four’s expressions changed. Though they remained firmly planted on the ground, the howling wind caused their hair and beards to rapidly form long, thin icicles visible to the naked eye.
Their frantically circulating Zhenyuan couldn’t withstand this gust of cold wind at all. The four figures began to tremble slightly.
Su Yan moved, her delicate brows furrowed as if familiarizing herself with the artifact’s power. Accompanying her movements, her entire body of cold-attribute Zhenyuan slowly merged with the ice-sealed heaven and earth.
Cracking sounds echoed from the ground. From the deep snow, several feet thick, dense volleys of ice spikes suddenly shot forth, raising a whirlwind that churned up snow waves layer upon layer. Like an avalanche, it swept toward the four.
There was no path to the heavens, nor a door to the earth. The four experts, all from super factions, found themselves in an extremely difficult situation. Their Zhenyuan’s circulation speed was hampered by the cold, making their reactions slower than at their peak. They hastily combined forces, using their techniques and artifacts to block this first attack. Before they could catch their breath, Su Yan’s next attack was already arriving.
Flashes of light as bright as day lit up on several ice mountains clad in silver nearby, as if from some distant point, someone was launching a series of fierce attacks at the four.
Yang Kai stood motionless beside Su Yan, his emotions churning.
He hadn’t realized that with the help of such a mysterious-grade artifact, Su Yan could display her strength to this degree. Using only her own power, she had forced four experts at the fifth level of the Shenyou Realm, all from the Eight Great Families of Zhongdu, into desperate defense without any chance to counterattack.
This artifact had created the most ideal battle environment for Su Yan. Within this heaven and earth, she was the dominator!
