Chapter 10

"Do not!" Kingdom Lord Chen, residing in his palace, screamed in horror and extended his right hand. He couldn't even retrieve the world prop gravity ball from himself. When the white ice mist swept over, he was solidly frozen into a human-shaped ice sculpture.

At that moment, Kingdom Lord Chen met his demise.

None of the prominent generals of Chen Kingdom, along with their elite soldiers, could escape. They were all frozen, transformed into human-shaped ice sculptures.

Once they had boasted about their ability to slay gods, but now they were permanently frozen, turned into eternal ice sculptures, and their lives were utterly extinguished.

They had no inkling about how the gods had achieved this.

The entire city, home to millions of people, fell into complete silence. It resembled a thousand-year-old ice city, as if no one had survived.

"Huh?! The power of liquid nitrogen seems to be even greater than I anticipated."

At that very moment, Xia Chuan, positioned outside Chen Guodu city, witnessed the spectacle. He uncorked the bottle of liquid nitrogen, unleashing a torrent of the substance.

In an instant, the entire city was transformed into an ice city. Everything, living creatures and inanimate objects alike, turned into lifelike ice sculptures, exuding an intense chill.

It appeared that this frostiness would linger for a considerable amount of time, unlike Xuanhuangxing, where it would dissipate quickly.

Xia Chuan couldn't help but gaze up at the sun in the sky. He noticed that the sun in this world didn't seem to radiate much heat. When its rays touched him, he felt nothing. It appeared cooler than the light bulb he had back home.

Perhaps because of this, the power of liquid nitrogen had been significantly enhanced in this world, resulting in longer freezing times than anticipated. However, this could be seen as an advantage, as it indicated that his power in this world was even more potent.

"Master, there is a world prop in this capital," announced the Book of Wisdom.

"What? An actual world item? Where is it?" Xia Chuan responded, his surprise evident. He had recently acquired a world item, and now he was on the brink of obtaining another. His luck seemed unusually good.

"It's in the palace of this city," the Book of Wisdom promptly directed Xia Chuan.

It didn't take long for Xia Chuan to locate the world prop. It was on an elderly man clad in imperial robes, but the man had been frozen into an immobile ice sculpture.

Whoosh!

Immediately, a small black sphere materialized in front of Xia Chuan, radiating a mysterious and potent energy.

There was no doubt that this was a world item.

"How do I refine this world item?" Xia Chuan inquired with curiosity.

"Just place one drop of blood on it and use the blood to activate the world prop," the Book of Wisdom explained.

"That's it," Xia Chuan nodded. He pricked his finger lightly, and a small drop of blood seeped onto the sphere. To him, it was just a drop of blood, but to the black sphere, it was akin to a small lake of blood.

Wow~~

In an instant, as soon as the black sphere made contact with the blood, it avidly absorbed it. In mere moments, it had consumed all the blood.

Boom~~

In the next second, Xia Chuan noticed that the black sphere had swiftly ascended into the air before merging into his body. He felt a rush of information.

"World Item: Gravity Ball."

"Ability: The power to manipulate a certain range of gravity, either increasing or decreasing it. The extent of gravity manipulation depends on the physical strength of the holder."

...

"An actual world item that controls gravity?!" Xia Chuan's eyes widened, and a surge of excitement coursed through her.

The Book of World Props she had acquired earlier was merely an auxiliary item, but the Gravity Ball was an unquestionably offensive world item with unmatched lethality. The extent of gravity manipulation was closely tied to the user's physical strength.

Consider this: even a miniature human in this world, such as Guozhu Chen, could manipulate gravity up to ten times their own body weight, and at most, not exceeding fifty times the normal gravitational force.

Yet for Xia Chuan, whose physical strength far surpassed that of a miniature human, the gravity he could control likely exceeded Guozhu Chen's by orders of magnitude, possibly tens of thousands of times more.

What's more, the energy expended when using it was minimal for Xia Chuan.

Xia Chuan hadn't expected such incredible luck, securing such a potent world item. Simply obtaining this item was more than a fair exchange for his liquid nitrogen.

It could be said that this world held unimaginable treasures, and Xia Chuan's curiosity about this realm grew with every discovery.
