Chapter 64 Witnessing Your Death With My Own Eyes

Within the Mirror Lake space, an endless fog of emotions was absorbed by the Demon Tree, drawing in massive amounts of spiritual energy that surged directly into Ren Jie's body.

He finally shattered the bottleneck. His genetic lock broke open, and his tier skyrocketed straight to the Second-Tier Spine Realm.

Starting from his spinal column—the great dragon—the bones throughout his entire body were undergoing a frenzied reinforcement.

On the Tree of Truth-Breaking, a single branch lit up, sprouting two leaves. The third skill of the Eye of Truth-Breaking awakened, and right upon awakening, it was directly a Second-Tier skill.

Simultaneously, on the Demon Tree, a main branch lit up once more. Unlike before, this main branch was not covered in flames; instead, it transformed into a crystalline ice form, emanating boundless, piercing cold...

Within his mind, a demonic whisper resounded!

"Demonic pact fulfilled! Contracted Demon: Snow Demon!"

"Demonic Transformation Cost: Express passionate love to someone and get rejected!"

"Snow Demon genetics injected."

"The Snow Demon Spirit is born; initial contract demonic transformation begins."

On the Snow Demon main branch, an ice-crystal fruit formed, with the demonic spirit concealed within it. A skill branch was illuminated, sprouting two leaves.

At the same time, on the Flame Demon main branch, the branches representing Incineration and Blazing Flame Draw Slash both transformed into two leaves, after which another skill branch was illuminated, likewise bearing two leaves.

In other words, upon breaking through to the First Stage of the Second Tier, Ren Jie instantly gained three new skills. Right upon awakening, they were Second-Tier skills, and because his previous skill experience bars were already maxed out, his older skills were also entirely upgraded to the Second Tier.

Even his physical body had been reinforced twice.

At this moment, Ren Jie’s body radiated astonishing cold. His raven-black hair turned snowy white, as did his eyebrows and eyelashes.

On the surface of his skin, snowflake-like ice crystals condensed. Boundless cold rushed toward Ren Jie's severed arm, where black ice condensed, directly transforming into a transparent arm of profound ice.

From the center of his palm, an ice-crystal blade extended outward.

Simultaneously, flames reignited upon Ren Jie’s body. Flames swept across his other arm, and the Blazing Blade was clenched in his hand.

Holding dual blades, ice and fire fused perfectly upon him.

A Song of Ice and Fire played out!

His eyes fixed dead on Wang Feng, his face as cold as frost, he stepped toward him stride by stride.

With every step he took, the ground beneath his feet froze into frost.

A Second-Tier Ogre lunged madly at Ren Jie from the side.

Without even glancing at it, he raised his hand and slashed across!

Astonishing cold erupted.

The wind swept the clouds and the cold sky expanded; heavy snow drifted as frost fell!

This blade... was named Frost Fall!

With a crisp "shwack," that Ogre was instantly frozen by the chill, encased in ice right on the spot as its life seemed suspended in that very moment.

A crisp chime like a wind chime rang out as flakes of snow condensed and fell in a rustling cascade...

It... was snowing...

Those were not snowflakes, but carbon dioxide in the air condensing due to the ultra-low temperature, turning into ice-crystal snow falling from above.

With a loud "boom," the ice-encased Ogre was lightly brushed by a falling snowflake and instantly shattered, breaking apart all over the ground.

Nuo Yan, standing in the arena, was utterly dumbfounded, drawing a sharp breath—

A demon of the same tier, instantly obliterated?

Wasn't Ren Jie's ability fire? Where did the ice ability come from?

Meanwhile, Wang Feng finally finished off that Ogre. With an utterly foul expression, he looked toward Ren Jie, madness filling his eyes:

"Oh ho~ Little fellow is angry? Then do you know that blustering without strength is nothing more than barking dogs?"

The veins on Ren Jie’s forehead bulged, and the chill emanating from him grew even heavier.

With a thunderous "boom," a fierce fire erupted from beneath Ren Jie's feet, blasting a massive crater into the ground.

The shape of that crater was not a normal circle, but rather the form of an inhuman, gigantic, pitch-black footprint, resembling that of a Flame Demon!

The ferocious explosion translated into a powerful thrusting force. Ren Jie's body shot toward Wang Feng like a rocket, his hatred towering to the heavens.

"Hand him over to me! I'll skin him alive today!"

Nuo Yan: "!!!"

Are you out of your mind?

This Wang Feng is a Third-Tier Strength Realm cultivator! You just broke through to the Second Tier Spine Realm, and you already want to leap tiers to kill someone? And a Pact Demon bearer at that?

Wang Feng sneered savagely: "Kill me? Are you still sleepwalking?"

"Hahahaha, I guarantee you'll die even more miserably than that piece of trash just now!"

"Demonic Transformation: Muscle Demon!"

Even though he was in the Spine Realm and held an overwhelming advantage against Ren Jie, he still activated his demonic transformation.

It wasn't because he wanted to use an eagle to hunt a rabbit and go all out; rather, he simply relished the thrill brought by the demonic transformation.

The cost was nothing more than eating humans; he could afford it.

Wang Feng's skin instantly split open, the muscles all over his body swelling and his bones expanding wildly.

He transformed into a muscle-bound giant nearly three meters tall, his entire body covered in blood-red muscle, his tongue lolling out ridiculously far.

"Decided then. After I kill you, I'll use you as my midnight snack tonight, heh-heh-heh~"

"Muscle Cannonball!"

With a "boom," his figure vanished directly from where he stood, charging straight ahead at a speed hard to capture with the naked eye.

His speed was far too much faster than Ren Jie's.

The two of them were about to collide in an instant!

"Bone-Shattering Strike!"

A fist like an iron hammer smashed directly toward Ren Jie's head, the sonic boom deafening.

Yet, no matter how fast Wang Feng's speed was, it could not escape Ren Jie's Flash Eyes!

Ren Jie's eyes widened, his pupils turning golden!

"Gaze!"

At this moment, Wang Feng's field of vision seemed to leave nothing except Ren Jie's golden eyes.

What kind of eyes were those, really?

Cold, sharp, and razor-edged!
