While they were in the heat of battle, the mountain-like figure of the Titan Snow Demon King and the violent roars of the Ice Bear King Xiao Bai could be heard faintly from afar. However, they were similarly intercepted by other Titled Douluo-level Nirvana Corpses from the Hall of Rebirth, and new battles erupted.
The entire core area of the Extreme North had already transformed into a chaotic and tragic super battlefield.
In Dragon City, atop the towering city walls.
Heavenly Dragon Douluo Yu Zhonglou stood with his hands behind his back, his brocade robe embroidered with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Emblem fluttering loudly in the biting northern wind.
His face was resolute and his gaze was like lightning, but at this moment, his brows were tightly furrowed as he gazed far into the depths of the Extreme North Land.
There, where it was originally only eternal ice and silence, a fluctuation that made even him, a Rank 95 Super Douluo, feel palpably uneasy was faintly transmitting.
It wasn't a clear sound, but rather a kind of 'frenzy' and 'wailing' permeating the elements of heaven and earth.
The subtle tremors of space and the abnormal disorder in the flow of Soul Power were like stones thrown into an ancient well, sending ripples across his calm heart.
"Troubled times indeed..."
He murmured to himself, his voice deep and carrying a trace of imperceptible worry.
He could feel that in the distant north, one or several battles were taking place at a level far beyond his imagination.
The level of that energy had already touched the limits of his understanding, and even... surpassed them.
Go and investigate? This thought only flashed for a moment before being extinguished.
The Extreme North Land was already a forbidden zone for humans, and now it had become the center of an unknown, terrifying vortex.
As the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Dragon Gate, he bore the responsibility for the rise and fall of the entire Sect. How could he easily risk danger out of a moment of curiosity? That wouldn't be brave; it would be foolish.
If he rushed in recklessly, he might truly never return.
"Pass down my orders."
Yu Zhonglou said in a deep voice without turning his head.
"Starting today, Dragon City enters a state of martial law. Strengthen the defenses and patrols on the northern walls. All Disciples are forbidden from leaving the city without orders, especially from approaching the Extreme North."
"Yes, Sect Leader."
A respectful response came from the shadows.
Yu Zhonglou took one last deep look at that gloomy sky that seemed to be brewing a storm, then turned and walked down the city wall with steady steps.
The only thing he could do was hold his ground.
...
Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the Extreme North Land, hundreds of miles away from the center of the storm.
"BOOM—!!!"
Another dull, thunderous roar rolled in from the distance. Even at such a great distance, it still made one's eardrums ache, and the ice beneath their feet trembled slightly.
The air was filled with violent ice elements and another residual aura full of sacred majesty, making it suffocating.
