On the first altar, the Xuanwu mark has been activated. Compared to the seventeen levels below, the aura of the first level has even reached the late stage of the Taixu Realm.
With his current strength, Gu Yifeng is more than capable of matching the Xuanwu Mark, but his realm is still at the early stage of the Condensation Realm. The huge gap means that neither the quantity nor the quality of his spiritual power can compare to that of the Xuanwu Mark.
Once their spiritual power is exhausted, they will likely be beaten up by the Xuanwu Mark and then thrown back to the eighteenth floor.
"Big brother, can you fight? If you can't, let's run away."
Lan Huanhuan trembled as she tugged at Gu Yifeng's sleeve and said.
"Just watch and see. Whether it can be played or not, we'll know once we try it."
Gu Yifeng showed no fear whatsoever. The reason he hadn't used his trump card before, and even wanted to get entangled with the Xuanwu mark in front of him, was precisely to save his trump card for use now.
As Gu Yifeng stepped onto the altar, a bright green light flashed on the Azure Dragon tattoo on his right arm, and his cultivation level instantly surged, breaking through to the mid-stage of the Tai Xu Realm in the blink of an eye.
After all, his cultivation level was still in the early stage of the Condensation Realm, so even if his cultivation level was in the Void Realm, the Azure Dragon Holy Robe could only raise his cultivation level to the middle stage of the Void Realm.
However, in this way, Gu Yifeng's strength can be fully unleashed. Combined with the Ice Rain Sacrifice he used before coming here, he now has three blessings within his body, plus his complete Tai Xu Realm cultivation.
Without exchanging another word, the two charged out simultaneously. As their figures went berserk, his eyes transformed into vertical pupils, and a terrifying dragon's might spread out, culminating in a powerful shattering ice palm strike.
With a single palm strike, the surrounding air began to distort, then collided with the Xuanwu mark, followed by a loud explosion.
The two were pushed aside by the storm at the same time, exchanged a glance, and then rushed forward again.
Gu Yifeng unleashed his Ice-Shattering Palm strikes continuously, delivering dozens of blows in just a few breaths. Meanwhile, the Xuanwu Mark's punches were imbued with suppressive power and the gentle, yin-like power of water, which neutralized the force of the blows.
In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the two had exhausted about 30% of their strength and widened the distance between them again. Xuanwu Mark suddenly emitted an explosive sound, and their auras were much weaker.
It was Ice Blast that was cast once again.
Unfortunately, Xuanwu simply exhaled a breath, releasing the icy aura that neutralized the attack. This mark actually possessed terrifying defensive power within its body.
Sensing each other's presence, the two immediately began to gather their spiritual power, preparing to unleash their final attack.
Behind Gu Yifeng, the phantom image of the Mountain and River Sword appeared, gradually solidifying, one sword after another, then two, three... until all one hundred Mountain and River Swords merged into one.
Behind the Xuanwu mark appeared the true form of the beast, a huge Xuanwu sacred beast that slowly emerged, opened its mouth, and the next moment, a blue beam of light as thick as an arm shot out from its mouth.
Gu Yifeng unleashed the full power of the Meteor Sword Technique, unleashing a single sword strike. The Mountain and River Sword pierced out instantly, its light colliding with the blue pillar of light. After three breaths, the blue pillar of light was forcibly cut in half, then crushed into dust by the sword light.
The Xuanwu Mark tried to retaliate, but was instantly drawn into the scroll world constructed by spiritual energy by the Mountain and River Sword, and suppressed by the power of the mountains and rivers.
This final layer was now complete, and the teleportation vortex slowly opened.
"Would you like to come out with me?"
Gu Yifeng turned to look at Lan Huanhuan, but this time he did not insist.
"Forget it, I've gotten used to this icy hell world. I hope one day I can get out of here on my own, instead of relying on your help."
"I've seen you off for a thousand miles, but we must part ways eventually. I hope that when we meet again, you will have reached the summit."
Lan Huanhuan waved her hand and smiled, then turned around gracefully and walked into the wind and snow.
Gu Yifeng smiled upon hearing this, offered no further advice, and stepped into the vortex, leaving the Frozen Prison behind.
With a flash of light, amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, he calmly walked out, looked at the familiar tent, and went straight to sit by the campfire to warm himself.
"Congratulations, young friend. In that case, I won't say anything more. Xuanwu Heaven is located in the One Line Sky behind us. Please follow me."
Old Man Xuan Yin didn't say much, but calmly got up and led Gu Yifeng away from the tent. They walked towards the back of the Xuanwu Turtle Clan's encampment and soon found that the surrounding space seemed to have become narrower.
Looking around, two mountain walls appeared out of nowhere, compressing the space to only accommodate one person. Old Man Xuan Yin walked ahead, slowly raising his head. The sky also became narrow, like a thin line.
This was the One Line Sky. At the end of the One Line Sky, the sound of waves could be faintly heard, and a salty smell wafted over. After walking for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the two finally emerged from the One Line Sky. In front of them was an endless expanse of waves.
The horizon where water meets sky creates an incredibly harmonious scene, making it seem as if you've stepped into a pure blue ocean space.
"Xuanwu Heaven is located at the bottom of the sea. Good luck to you, young friend."
Xuan Yin said something, then sat down cross-legged on the shore, his cane lying across his knees, which transformed into a shimmering dark blue light.
"This light can be seen even at the bottom of the sea. If you can't reach the bottom, you can follow this light to find your way back. I will protect you, young friend."
Xuan Yin added another sentence, and Gu Yifeng nodded slightly before jumping into the sea.
Almost instantly upon entering the sea, a dark blue light suddenly flashed in his dantian. The Xuanwu mark was now unified and completely solidified, then enveloped him entirely.
The immense pressure that had been emanating from the sea vanished instantly, and he could even breathe freely again. All of this came from the Xuanwu mark within his dantian.
This is the real reason why trials are required before entering Xuanwu Heaven; otherwise, even if one can reach the seashore, very few people can reach the seabed entirely on their own strength.
Gu Yifeng was surprised, but he also knew that time was of the essence. The phantom of the Kun beast immediately appeared beneath his feet, and he unleashed the Free and Unfettered Movement Technique, truly like a dragon swimming in the sea.
His speed in the sea was just as fast as on land, bursting forth in an instant, transforming into a black shadow as he swam downwards at the speed of a streak of light.
An hour later, as Gu Yifeng had predicted, they had reached a depth of 300 feet below the seabed. It was still pitch black below, and the bottom could not be seen.
He could only grit his teeth slightly, then continued to circulate his spiritual energy and swim downwards.
The only good thing now is that my level of free and easy travel is improving rapidly. I can really feel the Kun beast in the sea and imagine myself as the Kun beast, swimming freely.
The sea was eerily silent; not a single marine creature could be seen. The complete absence of life was truly unsettling.
