Chapter 86 - The Sovereign’s Ice

Snow drifted across the tundra rift, each flake a silent blade that settled on a landscape of endless white, where the air itself seemed to freeze mid-breath. The sky hung low, a shroud of pale gray that swallowed warmth and dulled sound to a whisper. Beneath the ice-crusted earth, a faint tremor stirred—not life, but a cold so absolute it gripped the soul like a vise. Beyond a jagged crevasse, where frost glittered like shattered stars, a rift gleamed—a silver wound that pulsed with a force so relentless it could still eternity. The Frost Sovereign, the forty-ninth force, had risen, its boundless freeze of infinite power a quiet oath to entomb Lin Feng's spirit in its ice.
