Chapter 168
“F*ck! D*mn it’s cold!”
That was the first sentence that Sui Xiong said after barging into that world .
There wasn’t a second sentence as of then, because in the next moment, he was frozen in a blue piece of ice .
It was a boundless ocean that had countless icebergs . Many devils were giving birth and reproducing on the floes . They were jumping on the ice ocean lightly with actions that were hard to imagine . Every time they touched the ocean, the spot where their legs landed would form a big piece of ice .
Flowing in the ice ocean was of course not water, but some kind of light blue fluid . Its coldness was beyond imagination, and it had a weird characteristic: once it got in contact with something, no matter what is was, it would immediately freeze .
Sui Xiong didn’t want to know what was underneath the water . His gut feeling told him that if he were to sink in the deep water of ice ocean, it definitely wouldn’t be a good outcome .
So the moment he arrived at Ice Block, he felt the drifting ice sinking and he immediately cast magic to carry him with the huge piece of drifting ice, and flew into the air .
Then, he realised that space crack that linked him to The World of Scorching Heat was above a piece of decently sized drifting ice that was almost against the ice’s surface . He got out from there suddenly and flew off the area of the drifting ice, straightaway falling into the ice ocean that was right next to it .
There were many devils in this world, that were rushing over to the space crack from all over the place .
He frequently saw a big gang of devils that used drifting ice as boats, and found something else as sail . They cast magic to set off wind as power and sailed in mighty contingents .
There were also many powerful devils that didn’t use any tricks, but flew over in the air, and dashed towards the space crack .
There were even some weak devils that couldn’t set off wind but used some ice as cushions to run along the ice ocean, towards the space crack . Most of their efforts exhausted their energy halfway; it froze them into ice and sank under the sea .
Sui Xiong flew in the air and saw such this enthusiastic scene .
“F*ck! Such strong hatred! What made the front fall, and those behind take up their position?” Sui Xiong mumbled to himself and he shook his body vigorously to shatter the ice that frozen him . Then, he casted magic to become invisible and watch the situation from the air .
After leaving the surface of the water, the world was actually not that cold, and it felt quite bearable . But the ice ocean in the world was really strange; it was ridiculously cold . He didn’t know what kind of fluid made the ice ocean .

“Anyway, it is definitely not water,” He mumbled to himself . “Although I have returned all my physics knowledge to my teacher, I at least remember that ice freezes below zero degrees, and at zero degrees, it would definitely not make me feel cold . ”
He used magic to collect some ocean water samples curiously, but he realised that although he could “hold” the ocean water, he couldn’t absorb it in, only take back a few drops .
The water in the ice ocean didn’t look any different compared to normal water . But once it was absorbed and left the calm sea surface, it immediately turned stringy, just like glue sticking onto the sea surface with its surrounding . As it got further from the sea surface, it gots stickier . Even when he used his strength to its fullest, he could only pull out a two meter long stringy fiber, but was unable to cut it off entirely .
He tried to cut it off with magic but there was no magic took effect . Chopping it with a sharp blade felt like hitting a hot object, burning it with fire had no effect at all, corroding it with poison and vibrating it with sound wave didn’t help at all . Nothing did .
“That’s strange! What is this ice ocean exactly?!”
Sui Xiong flew higher . When a few devils noticed something was weird they flew over to check . They couldn’t find anything, but flew around the air and pondered .
Stringy, cold, freezes things and sinks them in…
The more he thought about it, the more he found it weird . In the end, he was even terrified .
The ice ocean… wouldn’t be gastric juices of a huge monster, right?
Thinking that he might possibly be flying around in the stomach of an enormous primeval beast, he felt uncomfortable all over . He immediately decided to cast away all his curiosity and flew towards the crack to return to the World of Scorching Heat .
Just when he was about to leave Ice World, he could clearly feel that there was an obscure but profound consciousness that twinkled deep down below the ice ocean’s surface, and he nearly shouted .
“Damn! It really deserves the title of Abyss! They have all kinds of strange things!”
Thinking the huge Ice World might really be the stomach of an huge monster sent shivers down his spine . He soaked in the scorching hot blood pond for a long time and finally relaxed .
Then, he flew quickly into the space crack and killed all the invading blue-patterned ice devils . He then cast magic to start blocking off the space crack .
He spent a long time blocking the space crack completely . He just got to relax when another nearby space burst into pieces, and endless lightning currents flowed out like a lightning waterfall .
Flowing out along the lightning waterfall were countless amount of small sized devils . They were small, but their fighting power wasn’t . Almost every one of them could fight against the selected devils in this world . Especially when they united into one, their fighting power would advance by leaps and bounds, turning into another kind of existence .

“Hey! It can even unite into one!” Sui Xiong was interested and he stretched his arms to catch one of the united devil to take a closer look .
After fiddling with it for a while, he finally found the problem . Most of the devils that flowed out along the lightning waterfall had no organs; the entire body was made of clouds of surging lightning . The combination of lightning with lightning would become a stronger lightning, what was wrong with that?
Sui Xiong caught another few lightning devils and researched them . Until he mastered the basis of the power of the lightning devils, he could apply the same tactic again . After ensuring his back-up plan and safety, he could barge into the world of lightning devils again .
That world wasn’t as terrifying as ice world . It was only a broad boundless desert that was completely covered by gloomy clouds . The thunder echoed continuously and the lightning filled the sky; it was even difficult for one to open their eyes .
Among the lightning, countless devils were born . Most of them became incredibly weak after the lighting struck and died off eventually, but others became extremely strong . They were on a totally different level than the b*stards before . Within a very short period of time, it was like great waves washing away the sand, where many strong selected devils were born .
“The f*ck! This speed of increasing army force is incredible! If this was a game, it would definitely be an add-on feature!”
Sui Xiong was hidden under the desert as he saw the countless selected devils born among the lightning, whistling into the space crack that was connected to the World of Scorching Heat . He was feeling a little uneasy .
Looking at such a situation, the devils in the worlds might not be able to withstand…
Their death shouldn’t be regretted . If there was any trouble, it would ruin the sanctuary that the God of Justice had prepared . It would be a pity!
Then, he didn’t hesitate anymore . He got out from below the soil and opened its mouth at the sky to take a deep breath .
Countless lighting was mutated and deformed, and swarmed towards him from all over the place; but he swallowed them in a mouthful .
The next moment, there was large amount of smoke spurting out from the huge jellyfish’s body, and there was even a muffled scream that came out among the mist .
“So! Hot! Ah!”
Those lightning strikes were not strong, but with countless of them gathering together, it combined into a boiling hot lightning waterfall . Sui Xiong didn’t expect that at all, and he was suddenly burnt to the verge of passing out .
He screamed and groaned for quite some time and finally relaxed as he released a few mouthfuls of smoke . Looking at the space crack, the amount of newborn devils had gone down by a lot . The pressure from the other side of the world should had begun to lighten, too .
He continued to guard at the space crack and eat all the devils that wanted to go over to cause trouble . Occasionally he would absorb large amounts of lightning and store the power in his body as a preparation for future battle .
After a while, the dark clouds in this world diminished, by a lot and lightnings was not as plentiful as before . It was as though the end of the world had passed, and it resumed to the stage where it was suitable for living .
Then, on the originally barren plain, appeared branches that grew . It turned into a dense grassland very quickly . There were many devils that were reproducing among the grassland, looking full of life .
Sui Xiong continued to absorb the lightning in the dark clouds and as he was getting more and more familiar with the lighting devil power, the speed of his absorption got faster . After a week or two, he finally absorbed almost all of the lightning power in the dark clouds and converted them into a flowing lightning river .
When everything had completed, he wanted to leave . But just when he wanted to go through the transportation portal, he felt that the world had something that worried him, and he wasn’t willing to leave yet .
“What is it exactly?” He mumbled to himself suspiciously while he searched within the lighting world .
He searched all over . He saw conflicts between strong big devils multiple times, and felt that the faintly discernible power was getting clearer and nearer .
In the end, he finally found his aim .
It was located on the lofty mountain: a blue crystal ball .
There was no trace of human carving on the crystal ball; maybe it was a divine force creation . It contained powerful lightning that made Sui Xiong nervous .
If the crystal ball were to suddenly explode, no matter how strong his defense power was, he might be severely injured too!
He intended to throw the crystal ball away and leave, but he faintly felt that it had a strange connection with this world .
“If I could eat the crystal ball, maybe I could obtain power and could control this world…”
Looking at crystal ball floating in the air, with lightning sparkling within, Sui Xiong hesitated .

Asturian Warbringer - A LitRPG on Earth
Currently releasing 5 chapters a week Luke Kells liked only one thing about himself: his green eyes. He hated getting bullied, hated being poor, hated being an orphan, hated his weakness, hated the government, hated his life. If someone had given him a button to push and kill everyone but him and his granddad, he would've done it without a second thought. Then, one day, after fainting during a beating, he woke up with memories that would change his life. Magic, martial arts, how to craft special artifacts; he knew it all. Anyone would’ve taken that path to glory at once. However, he had to deal with a lot on his plate first. To even begin walking that path, Luke first had to deal with his own psychological issues. Almost two years of brutal bullying that was akin to torture and no support from the school staff of the police had left him with a broken soul. Before even realizing he could be rich or powerful, he had to bring himself out of the mental hellhole he found himself in. Oh, and his memories also told him the Sentinel Tower would change reality in six months to protect the planet from the Demonic Horde. But that wasn’t as important as not making the local bully angry, right? A story about personal growth, overcoming obstacles, and reaching absolute glory at the end of the path. This is a slow-paced, character-centered story. If you want something faster paced, filled with almost immediate and nonstopping action, check out my other novel: Modern Awakening - A cultivation, LitRPG, apocalyptic novel.

Alternate Worlds
This is actually a group of short stories I did some time ago. The first group are 3 stories, all starring the same Protagonist but with different foes and ways of how the stories play out. Past this I have other story lines that I have done this with and will likely use this heading to put them out there. - Note: The Book Picture is the location of the Portal the car went through. There are 4 such statues set across from each other and then two of the large pillars, set across the street from one another. New Story Line: Lost is about a man lost in a world that Used to have summoned hero's, ones where the mages who did the summonings did not close the pathways properly, so sometimes people from all across time, space, and dimension end up falling in to their world. Some become heroes, some 'Demon Lords' and some something else. I have 3 versions of this story which I will put here, one chapter a day. 2cd version was massively flawed, which I only realized while sharing it. As such I am skipping it and moving on to the 3rd version. The 3rd Story of Lost is about a man who mysteriously fell in to a world based on video games, complete with leveled zones, levels of skills, professions and so forth. Being from a world like ours, with the knowledge of these things, gives him a decided edge and better potential than normal. --------------------------------------- New story - New Life, Old Soul is the story of a man who used desperate experimental magic to grant himself a new life in a new world. This is an Iseki story with a single twist as no outside force dropped or summoned this soul to its new life. Come and see what sort of world and life this willing traveler of Realities unknown experiences. I will try and post once a day, though times may vary depending on my the wierdness that is my life. ^-^ ------------------------------ Cosmic Chaos A Void Maker tried to destroy several realities, by forcing their crystal shells in to each other. The AOs of those realms fought back the best they could, including a desperate play of opening random portals between the divergent universes and the void. Several things, peoples, and animals fell through these portals. In the grand scheme of things very little of this had long reaching consequences. However, Some of these universes gained new time lines from these events.This is a story of one such event, of one very lost traveler dropped in to a very different world than the one he came from. Tags: Isekai, Gender Change (Male to Female), Magic, Drama (lets face it most of my stories have a bit of this in them even when I don't tag them thus, though I don't know how 'Realistic' the characters are.) -------------------------------
