Luo Li, originally the youngest family head of an ancient clan in the 21st century and the most talented alchemist, died one day and transmigrated into the body of the good-for-nothing eldest young...
Chapter 1210 Three Locations
"The second location," she said, moving her fingertips, "is in the northeast, similar to the first. However, the demonic energy there is piercingly cold, as if even space is frozen. I once saw from afar a huge, twisted shadow wriggling deep within the ice."
"As for the third location..." Feng Long's voice became particularly solemn, and her fingertip pointed to a location slightly south of the center of the map, which she had marked. "This is located in the deepest part of the ruins. The demonic energy there... no, it feels beyond pure demonic energy. It's more like a primal, chaotic, all-consuming vortex of energy.
The demonic energy is only the most superficial thing it emits. The oppressive feeling is strongest there. Even when I linger for a moment on the edge of the abyss, I feel the fear of my soul being torn apart, assimilated, and completely annihilated. It seems to be the core of the entire ruins and the source of all demonic energy.
She withdrew her hand and looked at Luo Li with awe in her eyes: "If the fragment of the Demon God's inheritance really exists here, I think the most likely place for it to be hidden is here. However, the danger level there is far beyond any place I have ever seen. And..."
Luo Li's eyes were fixed on the highlighted spot in the center of the map, her brows slightly furrowed.
The description of the wind dragon confirmed her suspicions, but also revealed a danger far beyond her expectations.
Xuan Ye licked the corner of his mouth, his dark golden eyes flashing with excitement: "Luo Li, let's go take a look."
Luo Li shook her head and said, "Let's go to the first two places first."
Bai Ze nodded, "Alright, let's go check it out first."
The three people from the Su family had already turned pale after hearing this.
Su Youming remained calm, but his clenched fingers were already white. Su Xuewei subconsciously took a step closer to Su Youming.
Su Lin took a deep breath, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Luo Li and the other two had changed from shock to disbelief as if he were looking at madmen.
They were actually discussing going to that kind of place?!
Luo Li ignored them and only looked at Feng Long, "Please lead the way."
Feng Long chuckled, "Okay, benefactor, please follow me."
Luo Li glanced at her and said, "Let's go to the first place you mentioned."
Qingyi nodded without hesitation upon hearing this: "Don't worry, benefactor. I will take you to the nearest scorching place."
Her emerald green skirt moved slightly, and she took the lead and walked towards the huge entrance revealed after the thick fog dissipated.
Luo Li followed closely behind, with Bai Ze and Xuan Ye standing on her left and right tacitly. The three people from the Su family looked at each other, suppressed the surging waves in their hearts, and followed reluctantly.
Entering the entrance, the view suddenly becomes clear, but is then replaced by another kind of gloom.
This is an extremely huge underground cave with a high dome and jagged rocks, like the fangs of a giant beast hanging down.
The air was filled with a strong and lingering smell of blood mixed with a sweet and fishy smell of demonic energy. The temperature rose noticeably, and the rocks underfoot felt faintly hot.
In the distance, dark red magma flowed slowly in the ravines like blood vessels, making a low gurgling sound and illuminating the entire space with an ominous red light.
Qingyi pointed in a direction deep in the cave: "That's over there. I can feel the source of that scorching and violent demonic energy is just ahead."
"roar--!"
Before she could finish her words, a deafening roar suddenly exploded from the direction she was pointing!
The roar was filled with pure desire for destruction. The sound waves swept over with scorching air currents, making everyone's clothes rustle.
Then, heavy footsteps sounded like beating drums, and the earth was shaking slightly.
A huge figure stood up from behind a huge pool of lava.
The thing seemed to be made of lava and charred rocks. It was ten feet tall and its shape was vaguely between a giant ape and a giant bear.
Dark red magma flowed on its body surface, black smoke spewed out from the cracks, and its huge fist smashed into the ground, instantly leaving a molten pit.
On its head, there were only two holes burning with hellfire, replacing eyes, locking their eyes on the intruder.
"Flame Giant Bear!" Qingyi's expression changed slightly. "It seems that after death, it was deeply corroded by the demonic energy, and its strength is close to the peak of the Saint King."
The three people from the Su family felt a terrifying heat wave rushing towards them, almost setting them on fire.
Su Xuewei subconsciously took a step back. Su Lin's hand holding the sword was shaking. Su Youming immediately shouted, "Form a formation! Mysterious Ice Calms the Soul!"
The three of them were emitting a bright icy blue light and filled with coldness as they struggled to resist the scorching heat that was enough to melt their souls.
Feng Long looked at Luo Li, "He was corrupted after his death. Even if the evil energy is dispelled, only his shell will remain."
Luo Li nodded, "I understand."
She raised her hand and waved, summoning Jin and Shiqi, "Go."
Jin and Shiqi instantly turned into a streak of light and rushed forward, and Fenglong followed directly.
The giant flaming bear was as powerful as the wind dragon, and with the help of Jin and Seventeen, they quickly subdued the giant flaming bear.
As Cinder's sharp claws tore apart the last core of the Flame Bear, Seventeen's dragon breath completely burned the source of its demonic energy. The huge molten body collapsed and turned into a pile of hot rubble and rapidly cooling black charred blocks.
The evil spirit dissipated, but as Qingyi said, the giant bear had long been an empty shell driven by the evil spirit, and there was no possibility of resurrection.
The air was filled with the smell of burning and the energy aftermath of the battle.
Luo Li took back Jin and Shiqi, and her eyes swept across the wreckage without stopping, turning to look at Qingyi: "Next place, the frozen land."
The three people from the Su family looked at the Saint King-level monster that was easily defeated and fell silent again.
Su Xuewei silently picked up the fallen sword, Su Lin swallowed his saliva, and Su Youming took a deep look at Luo Li's calm profile, with horror and some indescribable complex emotions intertwined in his heart.
The mysterious ice power that they were proud of was as small as a firefly in front of Luo Li and the other two.
"Yes, benefactor." Qingyi responded, and her emerald green figure floated forward again, leading everyone around the huge lava pool and heading towards the darker and colder area on the other side.
The temperature dropped sharply.
The rocks beneath his feet quickly turned from scalding hot to icy cold, and the bloody demonic aura in the air was replaced by a chilling and biting breath.
Large areas of deep blue ice appeared in front of them, covering the rugged rocks and cave walls. Deep in the ice, twisted and frozen shadows could be vaguely seen, like the remains of a monster that was instantly frozen.
The light here became extremely dim, with only the ice crystals reflecting a faint pale light.
"Right here," Qingyi paused, pointing to a massive structure deep within the ice that resembled a frozen waterfall. "The source of that cold demonic energy is behind that icefall. I can sense that the thing inside is more... 'alive' than the giant flaming bear."
There was a hint of solemnity in her tone.
As soon as he finished speaking, something strange happened!
"Crack..."
Dense and crisp cracking sounds came from deep within the ice, as if countless ice cubes were crushed at the same time.
Immediately afterwards, an extreme chill swept over from the direction of the ice waterfall like an invisible wave.
This chill not only freezes the body, but also seems to freeze the soul directly, making even thinking become sluggish.
The three members of the Su family responded with the mysterious ice power, and the ice crystal armor instantly covered their entire body. However, this cold demonic energy was even more overbearing. In the face of the cold air, their defense seemed fragile.
Su Xuewei and Su Lin's faces turned pale as paper in an instant, and their teeth chattered.
Su Youming groaned and used all his strength to activate the Mysterious Ice Soul-Calming Seal. The icy blue light flashed violently, and he was able to barely stabilize his body. However, the ice armor protecting his body was already covered with tiny cracks.
The light of the chaotic power around Luo Li spread out like water waves, enveloping everyone and easily isolating the biting cold outside.
The ice waterfall exploded!
Countless huge, sharp-edged dark blue ice crystals shot out like a rainstorm, with a scream that could pierce through gold and stone.
In the icy fog, a slender and swift shadow rushed out like a ghost!
It was not a giant beast, but a humanoid being, or rather, it had once been a human.
Its entire body is covered in crystal clear ice armor that emits a faint blue chill. It is tall and agile, and its movements are so fast that only afterimages are left in the eyes.
Its face was blurred, covered by a layer of constantly flowing ice. Only where its eyes were located were two balls of cold, blue flames burning without any temperature.
In its hand, it held a spear made entirely of extremely cold ice. Wherever the tip of the spear pointed, even the air seemed to be frozen into fine cracks.
It did not roar, but remained silent, with pure killing intent, and instantly locked onto Luo Li, the leader. The ice spear turned into a cold light that tore through space and stabbed straight at her!
"The peak of the Holy King! And he is an ice-type war spirit that possesses the ultimate law of ice!" Qingyi exclaimed.
She could feel that although the other party's body was corroded by demonic energy, its core still retained a powerful ice origin and combat consciousness, which was definitely not comparable to the empty shell of the giant bear just now!
"bite--!"
A clear and heart-shaking sound of metal clashing rang out!
The Xuan Yue Sword blocked the ice crystal spear with incredible precision.
The violent force of ice and the force of chaos collided violently, exploding into a circle of ice-blue and glass-colored energy ripples visible to the naked eye, instantly freezing and shattering everything within dozens of feet around.
Luo Li flicked her wrist, and the power of chaos surged out like a raging wave, forcing the ice crystal war spirit back several steps.
Spider-web-like cracks instantly spread across the ice beneath the War Spirit's feet.
"Be careful of its coldness, it can freeze the flow of soul power!" Luo Li's cold voice rang out amid the surging energy aftermath.
Almost at the same time as Luo Li finished speaking, Xuan Ye's figure appeared behind the demon spirit like a ghost.
The dark golden light in his eyes shone brightly, and his five fingers formed claws, grabbing towards the back of the war spirit with a terrifying devouring vortex!
However, the war spirit seemed to have eyes on its back, and its body twisted instantly. The ice spear swept back at an incredible angle, and the cold current brought by the tip of the spear accurately hit Xuan Ye's devouring vortex.
A sharp friction sound rang out. The devouring force frantically tore at the icy spear light, but the extremely condensed ice was surprisingly tough and did not disintegrate instantly. Instead, it erupted with an even stronger chill, attempting to freeze Xuan Ye's devouring force in reverse.
