Even Robert's expression stiffened.
With his hands, Horace formed ice-blue seals that danced and fused in the air. Horace pushed his hands forward, and an icy-blue light appeared behind him.
A massive snowflake that was about three or four people tall appeared. It had countless seals etched on it, and the snowflake slowly spun behind Horace, who had a sinister smirk on his face.
When everyone saw the scene, they froze.
Someone said in a low voice, "A world avatar! Horace managed to form a world avatar! We're doomed! We're done for now!"
Rudy merely stood by the side, puzzled as he heard everyone talking about world avatars, the power of avatars, and ice avatars. He never heard about world avatars before, but listening to how everyone was speaking, it seemed like it was a big deal.
To not make himself seem like a complete fool, he immediately looked at Fane with curiosity. Fane let out a smile as he patted Rudy on the shoulder and explained in a whisper, "World avatars are basically manifestations of special powers after absorbing the laws of heaven and earth into your body. Forming a world avatar will strengthen your body and increase the explosiveness of your techniques."
Rudy was still puzzled as he listened on, but he more or less understood the gist of it. It was like giving a boost to one's skills. If that person was using a lower ultimate god rank technique and mastered it to the first stage, the technique would be as strong as if he had mastered it to the second stage with the help of a world avatar.
Rudy frowned and asked, "It looks like a world avatar should be quite hard to learn. Even after meeting so many people, it's the first time I've ever seen anyone using one."
Fane nodded, continuing to explain, "Forming a world avatar is the equivalent of being enlightened in the laws of the world. Horace is using an ice avatar, which means he was enlightened in the laws of ice, condensing it within him to form the avatar.
"Comprehending the laws of ice requires a high level of understanding. You need to be in the right place at the right time as well. Regular folk will never get to achieve this. Even some warriors at the divine solidifying realm won't be able to successfully form one if they're not talented enough."
Rudy blinked. In truth, even if Fane did not explain the last few sentences, he would understand regardless of how difficult it was. Even with so many geniuses within the Whirling World, they had only seen one person who ever mastered it in so long. It was obvious how difficult it was.
That explained why everyone was so shocked. Even Robert's expression darkened at that moment. With a world avatar, the battle suddenly became much harder for Robert.
Robert also had some difficulties he could not voice out. He could not reveal all his emotions on his face, or it would greatly damage his dignity.
No matter how strong his opponent was, he was a leader among the third-grade worlds. If he revealed his fears, it would greatly damage his reputation. If the matter ever spread to others, he would not be able to accept the embarrassment.
The beautiful seals constantly fused around that massive snowflake. It let out a vibrant and light blue glow, completely surrounding Horace with the light.
Horace's smirk grew malicious.
Even if Robert was able to keep his composure, Horace could still see the fear that he so desperately tried to hide. He loved seeing those expressions on the faces of his enemies.
It stroked his ego to great lengths every time he saw it.
