Seeing the Desert Sea frozen over by ice.

A hint of worry appeared in Lin Yi's heart.

Because this skill, now, was completely out of his control.

What would happen next.

He didn't know either.

The worst-case scenario was that everyone at this moment would eventually be frozen solid.

Even he himself would not be an exception.

[Black Ice]

[Type: Active Skill]

[Tier: Tier Eight]

[System: Ice Attribute]

[Cost: 40,000 Mana]

[Chanting Time: 30 seconds]

[Cooldown: 18 hours]

[Effect: Tears open space to obtain a piece of Black Ice from the Eternal Realm.]

[Once the Black Ice appears, it will emit a terrifying chill. Any object eroded by this chill will enter a frozen state and gradually transform into the same material form as Black Ice at a corresponding rate.]

[The higher the status and strength of the life forms and objects in a frozen state, the slower the rate of transformation into Black Ice.]

[Once Black Ice has completed the transformation, it cannot be melted by any means below Tier Ten.]

[Note: In an instant, condense eternity.]

This was probably the most domineering control skill Lin Yi had ever seen.

Lin Yi even felt that if the influence efficiency of Black Ice wasn't so fast and its range didn't take time to gradually expand.

This mutated version of an eighth-tier ice skill should be considered a Forbidden Curse skill instead.

Because speaking broadly.

As long as Black Ice was given enough time, this was even an apocalyptic level skill.

When you gaze into Black Ice, even your gaze will be affected.

Gradually becoming part of the Black Ice.

After that, even your thoughts.

Even such abstract things, Black Ice can complete the transformation.

The most terrifying quality of Black Ice lies in its ability to assimilate everything around it without limit.

Turning them into Black Ice as well.

Lin Yi couldn't imagine if he were to plant a piece of Black Ice in some sea region on Blue Star, what would happen.

Perhaps, in the end, the entire Blue Star planet would turn into a giant piece of Black Ice floating in the cosmos.

"What's going on!"

"It's so cold!"

"Captain! Our ship can't move!"

"The engine's stalled!"

"Too cold, what kind of ghost weather is this!"

The competition had just begun, less than ten seconds in.

All the crew on the hundreds of sandboats around Lin Yi exclaimed in surprise!

Afterwards, they discovered that their boats couldn't move!

Their boats, after countless upgrades and modifications, had horsepower and tonnage that grew accordingly.

The sandboats' draft lines were countless times deeper than that of the small, broken boat Lin Yi and others were on.

Now that the Desert Sea was frozen by Black Ice, even if their engines were pushed to the smoking point, it was impossible to move the sandboats an inch.

"Quick, go!" Lin Yi's sense of foreboding grew stronger.

It seemed today he truly used a formidable skill.

At this point, even he felt shrouded by the black chill.

If they didn't quickly move away from this Black Ice's initial point of condensation, their transformation speed would probably be the fastest.

Ke Mengyuan and Lin Yi got off the sandboat, and the two of them lifted it up with a hard push.

They pulled the sandboat free from the ice below.

Fortunately, their small, broken boat's draft couldn't be considered deep, nearly non-existent.

A hard pull from the two of them was enough to pull it out.

After pulling it out, Lin Yi cast several wind attribute spells, granting acceleration status to the others on the boat.

At the same time, he cushioned a layer of wind field under the hull.

Maximizing the removal of friction between the bottom of the sandboat and the ice surface.

Then everyone saw this sandboat Lin Yi was on, accelerating forward at an extremely unscientific speed!

In the blink of an eye, Lin Yi had already left the delegate party stuck in Black Ice far behind.

As Lin Yi's sandboat continued to accelerate.

Lin Yi realized something even more shocking.

That was the spread speed of Black Ice, far more terrifying than he imagined!

Even though they had rushed out of the Black Ice crystalline core, the source location, their speed still couldn't match the spread speed of Black Ice.

Lin Yi only just realized at this moment.

The Black Ice indeed started very small.

Its impact was limited too.

But once its assimilation began successfully affecting other things.

Then the volume of the Black Ice entity was also gradually enlarging.

One could say, what was originally just a speck of Black Ice like floating dust in his palm.

Had now expanded dozens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of times in volume!

The entire Desert Sea, its final outcome, would transform into Black Ice!

Then such a volume of Black Ice, going on to assimilate other matter not yet turned into Black Ice, such efficiency naturally could not be compared to before!

This is an exponentially growing rate curve!

Damn!

Doesn't it seem like I really overdid it!

Very soon Lin Yi, Ke Mengyuan, and others discovered.

Behind them, there were no other sandboats.

The entire racetrack had only them, five people and one boat, speeding along at high speed.

Looking back.

Lin Yi only saw a lifeless black land, like a dead zone.

The atmosphere and sky seemed to be linked by lines of black thread.

They too were gradually being frozen, transformed into Black Ice.

One could imagine, in the area where Black Ice was just planted.

What happened to those White Whale crew members and captain?

Perhaps by now they've already become Black Ice.

Without a doubt, this violated the rules of the Gold Hunting Competition.

However, not a single judge came to convict them at this moment.

Because perhaps even the judges had turned into Black Ice by now...

Ke Mengyuan didn't know what words to use to describe his inner shock anymore.

Nor did he know how to express his reverence and awe for Lin Yi!

He originally thought Lin Yi was only proficient in ice attribute, with deep expertise in ice magic.

Yet unexpectedly, with just a flip of his hand, Lin Yi not only froze thousands of square kilometers of the Desert Sea, he even wanted to freeze the entire Desert Sea Planet!

What a mighty power this is!

"Mr. Ke, how long until we reach the finish line?"

Lin Yi sat at the bow of the sandboat, watching the rolling waves of yellow sand in the distance rapidly losing their yellow hue.

Turning black instead.

He couldn't help but inquire.

"I... I don't know either..." Ke Mengyuan was stunned.

He had never thought that this dungeon clearance journey would end up like this.

"According....to what I've seen in the walkthrough."

"The first round of the speed race isn't too long, and actually isn't the main difficulty of this dungeon; the real challenge is after entering the ruins."

"In the second round, we have to face the other 99 sand pirate groups who also enter the second round."

"We must completely eliminate the other groups to qualify to enter the true center of the ruins!"

"After entering the center of the ruins, we also have to confront the gigantic sandworm BOSS that randomly appears in the Desert Vortex and defeat it to gain entry into the vortex and receive the reward."

Lin Yi, hearing this, let out a bitter laugh: "I think we might have completely skipped the second elimination round."

"I hope that Desert Vortex can hold on until we arrive."

Lin Yi had already foreseen that this dungeon was bound to be ruined by him once again.

If this dungeon collapses, where will he get the materials for his fourth transformation!
