Chapter 558 Annihilating a Clan and Seizing the Inheritance of the Third Level of the Nascent Soul Stage!

There are currently eight known ancient demons: Sheng, Xue, Gu, Yu, Sha, Dong, Yin, and Ming!

Aside from the fact that the locations of the two ancient demons, Yin and Ming, are unknown.

There were no followers who came out to cause trouble. Yu was quite familiar with the other ancient demon kings. These were bodies stripped of their primordial spirit and consciousness, leaving only the instinctive actions of the physical body.

The demonic influence it unconsciously emanates is actually quite terrifying.

Aside from Nascent Soul cultivators who can put up a fight, cultivators below that level are easily influenced by demonic influence, turning into fanatical worshippers of ancient demons and genuinely loving and respecting them.

A silently distorted personality.

This ability is the most disgusting and powerful, and only spiritual cultivation can eliminate its influence. He suspected that the Demon Refining Secret Technique of the Heavenly Demon Sect might be a kind of spiritual power secret technique.

This time, we went to the Frozen Demon Sealing Ground again.

The route was one they knew very well.

The last time he came, it was to collect pure frozen demonic energy in order to condense a demonic nascent soul. More than a hundred years have passed since then, and he wonders how things have changed here.

Half a month later.

The last legitimate lineage of the Ice Clan, the Gatekeeper Tribe.

The high priest and two Ice Clan elders at the mid-Nascent Soul stage were standing inside a large, round, single-level ice house, with rows of transparent, hollow ice pillars standing densely inside.

The modified creatures that should have stayed inside were almost completely consumed. Most of them followed Bing Lian, the seventh son of the Ice God, and most died in the war against the human race.

The remaining forces took in the cultivators from Zhenbei Tower who had come to join them, and established a new power in another area of ​​the Endless Ice Plains, calling themselves the "Ice God Palace"!

It takes its name from the gimmick of the son of the Ice God.

In terms of quantity, it is not bad, and even more so than the Zhenbei Tower. The hybrid ice race, after being modified, has a very strong potential for rapid growth.

It takes only a few hundred years to condense an Ice Dao Nascent Soul.

The problem is that this is also their limit. Like the demon race, they are limited by the bloodline modulation within their bodies, making it difficult to break free of their shackles. Moreover, the quick-fix method ultimately affects their combat power.

They are considered to be among the weaker ones in their respective realms.

The fact that the High Priest's painstaking efforts resulted in the near-total annihilation of his army outside the Heavenly Palace's secret realm does not mean that the effort was entirely meaningless.

Actually, he was successful.

Mass-produced hybrid Ice Clan Nascent Souls would be extremely useful consumables, capable of holding their own against even multiple dominant forces, thus compensating for the shortage of Ice Clan powerhouses.

The problem lies with the top experts.

Without a Nascent Soul cultivator to oversee them, they are ultimately just ants, and because of their alien race identity, they are even more hostile and subject to the supervision of the human Nascent Soul cultivators.

No matter how many hastily created Ice God's Sons are produced, they cannot compare to a single Nascent Soul Venerable!

Years of hard work have ultimately vanished like flowing water.

The high priest was somewhat disheartened and muttered to himself, "No matter how we adjust it, if we want to have the potential to quickly become a god, we must lay the foundation from the very beginning of the process. We... are powerless to do so."

The foundation he was referring to was actually the golden nature of the primordial spirit, or rather, the divine essence. The mixed-blood ice race had achieved this too quickly, making their soul a weak point.

How can we further elevate this foundation?

It was all for nothing.

The deeper one delves into the subject, the more difficult it becomes, and the complete halt in progress indicates that this path is a dead end.

Over the past hundred years, every opportunity to make progress had been thwarted by various unexpected events, which even gave him the illusion that Heaven was against him.

Seeing the pillar of their clan, the only one at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, so dejected, the two Ice Clan elders who had contributed a large amount of sperm had dark circles under their eyes.

He said in a trembling voice, "High Priest, there is no need to worry. Binglan has already integrated with Zhenbei Tower, and our Ice Clan now has external power. The fact that those mixed-blood clansmen were able to circumvent the rules of the immortals and leave the Ice Plains is already a success."

Another person chimed in.

“He is right. Being able to leave the Endless Ice Plains has already laid a foundation for the Ice Clan to last for eternity. As long as they can influence the outside world, they will eventually have the opportunity to rise again over the long years. High Priest, there is no need to worry.”

That being said, things shouldn't be viewed that way.

Their rash participation in this war has already violated a taboo of the human race. If it weren't for the terrifyingly powerful Demon Lord of Refining Heaven having an even bigger plan, they would have been eliminated long ago.

Once those important matters are settled, it's questionable whether the Ice Clan can continue its lineage.

"well……"

The high priest sighed deeply.

"Why does the High Priest sigh?"

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out in the void, making the three people present feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"who?"

Who has offended us?

A figure dressed in pure white, with long, flowing silver hair loosely tied back with a light blue ribbon, appeared suddenly, his striking features and elegant demeanor traversing the space.

Who else could it be but Wang Yu...?

"Has the High Priest heard of my ultimate technique?"

Upon hearing this, the high priest guarding the gate shrank his pupils.

This reputation is not just something you may have heard of or not; it's practically legendary. Even if you trace back thousands of years, you won't find a cultivator more talented than Wang Yu.

Chaotic times breed monsters, and this is an example of such a thing.

Moreover, everyone speculates that he possesses great fortune, otherwise how could he have grown from a well-known useless spirit slave to where he is today?

He quickly stopped the two people beside him, afraid that they might offend Wang Yu, and bowed his head.

"I am Bingfei, and I have met Venerable Jifa in person."

When Wang Yu broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, although they had never met, they had reached a tacit understanding not to disturb each other from a distance; otherwise, the breakthrough would not have been so smooth.

certainly.

Another reason is that the secret method for creating the Ice God's Child had just been perfected at that time, and they were working overtime to create the Ice God's Child. To prevent the people of Cold Blood Peak from discovering it, they deliberately avoided contact.

According to the alliance between the Gatekeeper Tribe and Coldblood Peak, the two sides have actually maintained a stable cooperative relationship for nearly 10,000 years. Although there have been unpleasant incidents during this period, they are still allies.

Wang Yu surveyed the scene inside the room. Under the scan of his divine sense, he discovered a mountain of female cultivator corpses buried in the corner, and his expression quickly turned cold.

These are all tools used by the Ice Tribe for surrogacy.

Abducting people from Taihu Lake has never been solely the work of demonic cultivators. Taking advantage of the Zhenbei Tower, they wanted female cultivators of suitable age to cultivate the embryos of the Ice God's child, which was indeed simple and quick.

Wang Yu was also a member of the demonic cultivators.

He was ruthless and committed all sorts of evil deeds, but some things eventually crossed his bottom line. Killing without reason was the act of a madman, and even among demonic cultivators, only a very small number of people would do something involving the use of infants for cultivation.

The principle of "things of one kind being hurt by their own" applies here.

Wang Yu considered himself a normal person. He showed no mercy to mentally mature individuals, but was exceptionally compassionate towards young creatures.

Oh, except for the inherently evil Heavenly Demon.

Therefore.

He overturned his original plan. Since the Ice Clan harbored such great malice towards the Human Race, it would be better to wipe them out to avoid future troubles.

"You did all of this?"

The high priest was startled, looking at the bones that kept churning up from the ground, and said urgently.

“Your Excellency, we are allies with Coldblood Peak, and they tacitly approved of this.”

"--lie!"

Wang Yu's eyes sharpened. He himself came from the Cold Blood Peak. How could he not know whether it had been done or not, whether permission had been granted or not? Back in Ice River Pass, he had been ambushed by the Ice Clan.

Reaching a tacit understanding in secret is even more impossible.

Therefore, the high priest was merely trying to stall for time, so there was no need to waste any more words. The white bone demon sword, shaped like a spine, suddenly appeared in his hand.

Wang Yu waved his hand gently.

The extreme cold demonic energy attached to the sword energy emitted an unparalleled divine might that was truly awe-inspiring and terrifying. It was a fifth-grade low-level demonic treasure, and with the [Ice Soul Holy Demon] characteristic that came with the perfected cultivation technique, it was truly awe-inspiring.

Even after ten years of seclusion, his cultivation had not achieved any breakthrough.

His strength has also reached a new level compared to the past, greatly improving his combat power under normal circumstances. In the eyes of the high priest, the sword light arrived suddenly.

It was as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had caved in; a deadly crisis was looming from all directions, with no way to avoid it or stop it!

The extremely cold sword light slashed past.

In a single exchange, Wang Yu severed one Nascent Soul Grand Perfection cultivator and two Nascent Soul Mid-stage cultivators at the waist, and then used the Glazed Pagoda to capture the three individuals in six segments, sealing them in the second layer of the seal.

The feeling of crushing ants with a wave of the hand is particularly captivating.

Immediately, his divine sense ceased to be contained.

The Ice Prison Demon Seal, at its perfect level, suddenly pressed down, precisely covering the entire valley where the gatekeeper tribe was located, like a mountain collapsing or a sea being overturned... The entire valley was flattened under the crushing force of the demon seal.

The gatekeeper tribe was wiped out!

Afterwards, Wang Yu collected his spoils and went to the Ice Clan's inheritance site. He directly used the Heavenly Demon Transformation to seize the Ice Clan's bloodline, instantly transforming into a pure-blooded Ice Clan member, preparing to steal all of their inheritance.

The Ice Tribe has a long history.

They are special creatures native to the Ice Prison Realm, born with the same aptitude as the Heavenly Ice Spirit Root, and their appearance is various naturally formed ice sculptures.

There are beasts and birds, creatures with scales and armor, and shapes resembling mountains, rivers, and plants. There are also many humanoid ice races.

According to ancient historical records,

In its early days, the Ice Clan only had rudimentary techniques for refining spiritual energy. After the immortals descended to the mortal realm to spread their teachings, they trained a group of Ice Clan cultivators to select jailers.

That is the origin of the Ice Clan's heritage.

When it comes to the Way of Frost, regardless of whether it is righteous or demonic, the Ice Clan undoubtedly possesses the highest level of mastery. This is determined by both innate talent and the source of their heritage. The Gatekeeper Tribe is the last legitimate branch of the Ice Clan.

They are very different from the Ice Clan creatures that are randomly born in the wild after absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, much like the difference between civilized society and primitive people.

The Ice Clan's inheritance mostly requires bloodline activation.

Wang Yu had anticipated this.

Even the Ice Clan form he created using the Heavenly Demon Transformation technique, due to his strength reaching the Divine Transformation stage, made him more qualified than any other Ice Clan member to receive the inheritance from the Temple of Inheritance.

The Gatekeeper Tribe's collection is all inside the Ice God Temple.

As a primitive belief, the existence of the Ice God is impossible to verify, but the church ideology of this worship has been passed down, and thus it is passed down in the form of a temple.

When he entered the temple, all the guards had been killed by the demonic seal, leaving only broken ice and icy liquid. He had already collected the valuable parts.

There is a statue of a god in the middle of the temple, towards the back.

The high platform in front of him was the place of inheritance. Wang Yu stepped onto it without hesitation. The moment he looked up and met the eyes of the statue, his consciousness was pulled into an illusion.

Then more statues of gods appeared before him.

The elevations and undulations vary.

at this time.

He was in a huge corridor, with densely packed statues of gods on both sides, the smaller ones containing less advanced lineages.

Larger sizes imply a higher level of heritage.

Contact with the statue allows you to obtain its inheritance, but you must also undergo a triple assessment of bloodline, potential, and strength to determine if you are qualified to obtain it.

Wang Yu had acquired a considerable amount of the Ice Clan's heritage through the Mystic Arts, but the appearance of such a complete and vast inheritance site presented him with an excellent opportunity to perfect his own accumulation of Ice Dao knowledge.

thus.

He would touch every single statue, one by one, to absorb its inheritance and accumulate the foundation of the Ice Dao. The more knowledge he accumulated in this area, the easier it would be for him to create his own methods in the future.

It serves as a database support function.

"Frosty Blood Rain Technique, Extreme Cold Breath Spell, Coiled Dragon Ice Shield Technique... Ice Mountain Soul Suppression, Ice Heart Spell, Nine Blades of Proud Snow Technique..."

As he explored each site, Wang Yu acquired a large number of low- to mid-level spells. While these spells had little practical value, they could help him build a foundation for understanding the Dao of Frost.

After skipping the first and middle sections, a large number of secret techniques, supernatural abilities, and strange arts that would help Wang Yu improve his methods and combat system appeared as if they were being sold in bulk.

【Ice God Eye】—A fifth-tier divine ability similar to a Dharma Aspect, capable of condensing a giant Ice God Eye to inflict divine power, extreme cold, illusions, and other abilities on the target.

Wang Yu had seen this supernatural ability several times, but he never thought it was of any great use. However, after truly obtaining the complete inheritance, he discovered that the greatest effect of this supernatural ability was that it could be combined with other supernatural abilities.

By using the method of staring, offensive techniques can be instantly applied to the target. This combined range even includes Wang Yu's unparalleled divine power.

This means that he has too many methods to combine with the Ice God Eye, such as the Dragon Emperor Fist that can instantly explode headshots and the Twelve Phases of Guanghan that can be instantly activated. None of the guys who fought against him have ever mastered the essence of this supernatural power.

"nice one!"

Wang Yu naturally accepted it without hesitation.

【Ice Sky Concealment】—A fifth-tier auxiliary combat secret technique that generates an undispellable ice and snow storm with great magical power. Being within it can enhance Wang Yu's ice-based divine abilities by 30%.

It completely conceals his figure and aura, making it more suitable for use in battle than the Guixu Hidden Heaven Curse, and Xueyu can also coordinate with it.

Or perhaps this secret technique is just right for Xueyu to learn.

Then there's the [Ice God Dharma Form], which we'll skip for now. The only value of this technique is to help him further perfect the Taiyin Demon Dragon Dharma Form.

【Ice God Sealing Technique】As the name suggests, it can make up for the problem that Wang Yu's sealing technique skills are gradually falling behind the intensity of combat. It can be used in conjunction with his natal magic weapon to better suppress the spoils of war, for future use.

【Frosty Moon Ring】—A fifth-tier spiritual treasure crafting method, good at defense and counterattack, and its offensive power is also quite impressive, which can make up for its weakness in defense.

The abundant acquisition of fifth-tier divine abilities, secret techniques, and even treasure-refining maps made Wang Yu incredibly wealthy, although he didn't have time to cultivate before the Sword Sect battle.

However, one can learn gradually in the future, greatly improving oneself in all aspects and becoming a true hexagonal cultivator.

They left the Ice Temple completely satisfied.

This place was also ruthlessly destroyed by Wang Yu, who then went directly into the Frozen Demon Sealing Ground behind the valley.

However.

Something unexpected happened.

Unlike the previous time when he was spied on, the Frozen Demon's body directly locked onto his presence. The endless pure Frozen Demon Qi that permeated the surrounding world formed a funnel-shaped storm, frantically pouring into Wang Yu's body.

His magical power began to rise dramatically, actually reaching the threshold of the third level of the Nascent Soul stage, and he broke through it with ease.

"Breakthrough...?"

Wang Yu was completely bewildered.
