Chapter 525 Two Negotiations: Prison King and Spirit Official
The Fire Crow King's eyes widened.
"King Tianpeng... Peng Zhan... How is this possible!"
Those two ice sculptures were the two demons, Tianpeng King and Tianpeng King, who were taken away from the secret realm by Peng Zhan after being severely injured by the Ice Phoenix. Given their condition at the time, leaving the secret realm was indeed the first choice.
However, he was ambushed by the Ice Clan, which led to his death.
It was truly unexpected.
Upon seeing this scene, the Azure Dragon Demon Lord knew that the visitors were up to no good, but he lacked knowledge of the outside world and could easily overlook some important information by relying solely on the two kings' descriptions.
"Ice Clan?"
"I never expected that after so many years, I would still be able to see traces of the Ice Clan. Summon your Snowfield King."
The Snowfield King was the king of the Ice Tribe a thousand years ago.
He was at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. He was killed by the Heavenly Demon Lord in the Endless Ice Plains during the last Great War between Good and Demon. After that battle, the Ice Clan declined to the point where only one tribe with a lineage remained.
The tribe of gatekeepers of the Frozen Demon Sealed Land.
This was the final battle that led to the complete downfall of the Ice Clan.
The old almanac that the Azure Dragon Demon Lord brought up was tantamount to a provocation against them, but these teams, mainly composed of mixed-blood ice race, were not very familiar with the existence of the Snowfield King.
They didn't even recognize the Azure Dragon Demon Lord.
As creatures created through manipulation, they develop extremely quickly, yet their lifespan is generally less than a hundred years. This narrow-mindedness leads to situations that directly escalate into battle.
The son of the Ice God, named Binglu, has not yet issued any orders.
They then discovered that someone had used their innate supernatural power to attack directly. A half-blooded ice race member was still immersed in the excitement of killing Tianpeng when he saw someone else emerge from the secret realm.
He rushed out first, pointing his right hand towards the sky.
Dark clouds instantly covered an area of dozens of miles, and amidst the frost and snow storm, an ice sword resembling a giant peak descended from the sky, fiercely piercing straight towards the Azure Dragon Demon Lord.
The latter looked completely bewildered.
With a flick of his sleeve, a thunder dragon suddenly burst forth from his robe, instantly shattering the greatsword into dust. Its momentum continued unabated as it charged straight at the half-blooded ice race member.
Even if the latter tried their best, it was to no avail.
The terrifying gap in their cultivation levels caused him to turn into a black, charred object in less than a breath, and he fell headfirst to the ground, breaking into five or six pieces.
For a moment, the room fell into an eerie silence.
Bing Lian's pupils also contracted. Although he did not recognize the Azure Dragon Demon Lord, he could tell that the power of this move definitely exceeded the limit of the Nascent Soul stage.
"He's a Nascent Soul cultivator! He's a Nascent Soul expert...Activate the formation!"
As if provoked, the Ice Clan immediately used their trump card: the powerful array flag given to them by the High Priest of the Gatekeeper Tribe, combined with the power of nearly a hundred Nascent Soul Ice Clan members present.
It instantly covered the Azure Dragon Demon Lord.
The latter looked completely bewildered, his anger growing even stronger. Qinglong truly hadn't expected that in less than a thousand years, his face would become useless.
This is utterly absurd.
"Hmph, a bunch of chickens and dogs, how dare you think that my demon race has no one to rely on!"
The tyrannical thunder sea spread rapidly from him.
It was vaguely forming a trend of rivaling the formation, but Qinglong was actually very anxious. Since he could not negotiate, he could only try to cripple the enemy in one fell swoop.
Otherwise, if the delay is too long, he fears that he will be caught by the Refining Heaven Demon Lord before he even returns to the ancestral land of the Northern Demon Clan.
The feud between the two has a long history.
The Heaven-Refining Demon Flame within his body was the best object for locating him, and he believed that the other party sensed it the moment he left the secret realm.
We can't afford to waste too much time!
Outside the formation, the Fire Crow King and Thunder Scale King were under even greater pressure. They had reason to suspect that these Ice Clan members had chosen to ambush at the entrance of the secret realm.
Perhaps it's because they wiped out the Ice Clan's forces before the secret realm opened, so there's a high chance they came for revenge.
After all, this is an endless ice plain, where the Ice Clan can fully utilize the advantages of their bloodline, and their cultivation level is generally one small realm higher.
The boost it provides to overall strength is unimaginable.
Seeing that the Demon Lord was trapped, they instinctively locked eyes.
"What do we do now?"
"Fight their way out?"
King Lei Lin was also crackling with lightning, ready to break through. No matter how many Ice Clan members there were, they were nothing to him, a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection stage.
Killing them all might be difficult, but breaking through would be much easier.
The very art of escape is a reality that these people cannot avoid.
"Wait for the Demon Lord to break the formation, then we'll defend for a while."
"Alright."
…………
…………
Outside the secret realm, a fierce trap war was raging.
Within the secret realm, Wang Yu was also locked in a fierce battle with the Five-Colored Holy Lord. The two streaks of dark light collided violently, and one of them was decisively slammed into an underwater hill.
This caused the entire hill to explode.
The disheveled Five-Colored Holy Lord scrambled to his feet from the pile of rubble, hastily wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. His previously calm expression finally showed a significant change.
Even when Wang Yu appeared, he remained calm, as his inherent strength and the Void Escape Technique meant he was invincible.
How could Wang Yu, a mere young man, be a match for him?
Therefore, he was confident in meeting the sudden treasure-hunting attempt, and then... it turned out like this. With just one punch, he almost got sent flying up the mountain.
If he hadn't deflected the force in time and hadn't been wearing the specially designed dragon-patterned inner armor, that punch could have pierced through his body. The brute force was incredibly strong.
"You've broken through to the fifth level of body refinement? How is that possible! There aren't any treasures within the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm that body refiners can use to break through!!"
"Ignorant and ill-informed."
Wang Yu chuckled, and with the blessing of the Black Demon Lightning, he unleashed an explosive technique—the Thunderfire Heavenly Hub Secret Technique!
With his fourth-tier lightning and fifth-tier flame, plus his fifth-tier physique, the potential he could unleash had increased significantly, almost doubling his physical attributes.
Combined with the escape technique under the Aurora Intent, the speed was so fast that it was like teleportation. In less than a quarter of a breath, he appeared behind the Five-Colored Saint Lord.
A fierce side kick landed on the Five-Colored Saint Lord's waist before he suddenly reacted.
While twisting his body with all his might, a large number of talismans were activated, forming layers of repulsive spiritual membranes, and his natal magic weapon [Demon Head] emerged from his dantian.
It instantly transformed into a ferocious demon head, which opened its mouth and bit at Wang Yu's thigh.
The unparalleled divine power was delayed for a moment by the one-time talisman.
Although the repulsive spirit membrane was broken in an instant, the demon's attack arrived in a flash. The Five-Colored Holy Lord was clearly planning to exchange injury for injury.
They wanted to force Wang Yu to retract his kick.
But... Wang Yu's ruthlessness cannot be made to give up just because of one leg.
Moreover, with the basic defensive power provided by his immortal body, he was not afraid of the demon's devouring at all, so what about the lost demonic magic treasures?
You should still kick him!
Just as that fierce kick cleaved the Five-Colored Holy Lord in two, the demon's large mouth also bit down on Wang Yu's thigh.
The sharp teeth pierced through flesh and blood, but were directly stuck by the hard bones. No matter how the Five-Colored Holy Lord urged them, they could not bite through his immortal bones.
Wang Yu opened his mouth again and spat it out.
The Yellow Springs Dharma was unleashed, and at the same time, the demonic energy transformed into the turbid Yellow Springs, forming a dim yellow water column that drenched the demon's magical artifact.
The latter immediately seemed to short-circuit, flashing a few moments of inspiration.
Then, lacking strength, it could no longer hold on and fell to the ground, much to the shock and anger of the Five-Colored Holy Lord.
Without hesitation, they activated the backup plan provided by the Prison King Spirit Official.
After only a few moves, he realized that he was no match for Wang Yu after his breakthrough. If he didn't use his trump card now, he might die before he could use it.
The Five-Colored Saint Lord was eroded by the Yellow Springs, and due to the effect of the connection between his life and destiny, he directly vomited a mouthful of blood, and his remaining upper body formed a magic seal.
He looked up to the sky and roared.
"Please—the Holy Lord's decree!"
The 108 Holy Decrees that Ice Phoenix forged back then were not all of them; there was also one that represented the legacy of the first Holy Lord, who was also the Holy Lord of the Demon Clan.
In some ways, it's like the Panlong Ring; in the right place, it can make the owner a "privilege dog."
However, the true identity of the first Holy Lord was that of the Ice Clan.
This Holy Lord's Decree also had a backup plan, so it couldn't be used against the Ice Clan. However, in a battle where the Ice Clan wasn't present, its authority was clearly superior to Wang Yu's.
The moment the imperial decree was issued, the entire Phoenix Abyss Cold Pool trembled.
The method that the first Holy Lord used to imprison the True Ice Phoenix has been activated, but... this time it's being used against Wang Yu.
A method that can even imprison a true spirit's bloodline—with Wang Yu's current strength, he would suffer severe consequences if he fell for it.
Suddenly, the void opened up with gaps.
Dark purple threads pierced through the void from all directions, their extreme sharpness causing cracks to appear in the stable secret realm space wherever they passed.
It coiled around Wang Yu's limbs and bones.
The latter didn't dare touch it at all, and directly transformed into the aurora, dodging and weaving in the giant web of silk threads, using its speed advantage to forcibly avoid being cut by each and every thread.
Having gained a moment to catch his breath, the Five-Colored Saint Lord hurriedly took out a healing pill from his Qiankun Ring and regained his lost lower body.
After taking the elixir.
The wound healed quickly, and he was able to regain his full health.
Without hesitation, he turned and fled. At the same time, Yan Ling, who was at the edge of the battlefield, suddenly sensed the resentment in the soul imprint that had almost materialized.
The body reacts instinctively without control.
The Ice Phoenix innate divine power, which was clearly not something a human like her should be able to use, was actually used by her instincts.
Two icy wings, like guillotines, suddenly slashed down.
One attack severed the Five-Colored Saint Lord's escape route, while another broke a gap in the strange spatial thread array, allowing Wang Yu to escape directly from the encirclement.
Before the Five-Colored Holy Lord could react, the Sun-Piercing Demon Bow appeared in Wang Yu's hand, the Frosty Moon Phenomenon appeared behind him, and the Taiyin Star Arrow condensed.
The power of the Guanghan Dharma and the power of the Twelve Aspects converged on this arrow, further enhanced by a top-tier spiritual treasure, and combined with his unparalleled brute strength.
It can be said that this is the ultimate manifestation of his offensive power in his cultivation career, and it is also the strongest killing move in history!
Using it to deal with the Five-Colored Holy Lord is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
A fatal sense of crisis gripped his heart. The Five-Colored Holy Lord looked back and was immediately terrified. He had no choice but to wave the Holy Lord's Decree again, forcibly manipulating the spatial threads to continue entangling Wang Yu.
An extreme sense of sharpness swept over him, but Wang Yu neither dodged nor avoided it.
He maintained his aiming stance, but the upgraded Demon Dragon Armor was already on his body, and the Glass Pagoda appeared above his head, hanging down a transparent protective light screen.
While we may not be afraid, we still need to use basic respect and defensive measures; we can't simply withstand the cutting of the spatial threads.
As the saying goes: "The bow is drawn to its fullest extent, and arrows are shot in quick succession!"
Wang Yu instantly consumed three-fifths of the Frozen Demon Essence stored within his body, firing a total of three arrows simultaneously. This was completely different from the situation when he fought against a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Each arrow this time contained the complete power of the twelve phases of the Moon Palace. The extremely fast Taiyin Moon Palace Arrows arrived in front of the Five-Colored Holy Lord almost instantly.
At the same time, the strangulation of the spatial threads also arrived.
The Demon Dragon Armor offers high protection; even spatial threads can feel noticeably sluggish when cutting into it, as if cutting into fresh meat with a thread.
Although it could sink in, it was still very difficult to cut through completely. However, with the twisting and friction of the silk threads, the dragon armor was eventually cut through.
The dark purple threads were deeply embedded in Wang Yu's body, but were eventually stuck by the immortal bones, making it difficult to cut him into pieces completely.
In contrast, consider the Five-Colored Holy Lord.
Even with just one arrow, he could barely protect himself, let alone now with three arrows fired in quick succession. He was about to lose his life to the Taiyin Guanghan Arrows.
But then a faint sigh echoed from the void.
The void before him suddenly split open, and the first arrow shot in, only to fall silent instantly, as if it had been dissolved by something in a flash...
Seeing this scene.
Wang Yu frowned, and with a thought, the second arrow suddenly changed direction, tracing a semi-circular trajectory from the void rift.
It shot directly at the Five-Colored Holy Lord hiding behind.
At that time.
Then a large hand formed from magical power emerged from the crack, completely ignoring the power of the arrow, crushing it on the spot and annihilating its power in the magical hand.
The third arrow, under Wang Yu's control, shot into the sky and then turned to attack the Five-Colored Holy Lord.
Unfortunately... it was still neutralized by that magical hand.
"The observer from outside the boundary."
The other party still made a move, and Wang Yu immediately became highly tense. In his judgment, even if the other party made a move, they should have paid a heavy price.
Otherwise, it would be too weak for the rules set by the immortals to be so easy to violate. He had not expected that the Five-Colored Holy Lord would have such value.
but.
If the other party has something that requires the Five-Colored Holy Lord to handle, then paying the price for it is worthwhile.
In an instant, Wang Yu thought of many things.
But his hands did not stop moving. Another Taiyin Guanghan Arrow condensed on the bowstring, and a sound immediately rang out from the void rift.
"Wait... the successor of the Taiyin Sect."
Wang Yu narrowed his eyes.
He did not deny the title, but he also maintained the posture of drawing the bow and did not put it down.
After a moment of silence, sounds continued to come from behind the crack.
"Spare the Five-Colored Holy Lord, and I will grant you a spot for ascension."
"hehe."
Wang Yu immediately revealed a mocking smile.
"Why bother with such childish tricks, senior? Since you are on duty, I, Wang, will not harbor any illusions."
No, you've misunderstood.
"Times have changed. The Ice Prison Realm has reached its limit in terms of the number of ancient demon bodies it can imprison. If nothing unexpected happens, the Immortal Palace will officially select prison guards here in a thousand years at most."
“Well done. You may have a chance to ascend to the True Spirit Realm. You are still young and have plenty of time to wait. Why risk offending the Immortal Palace and becoming my enemy?”
Wang Yu simply didn't believe this unverifiable news.
It was learned from the enemy again; whether it was true or false, anyone who believed it was a fool.
But... we can try to trick them.
Blinking, Wang Yu suddenly spoke.
"Letting him go is not impossible, but if you return Wang's Celestial-Man-Divine Vine, there is still room for discussion."
Upon hearing this...
Before the Prison King Spirit Official could respond, the Five-Colored Holy Lord vehemently declared, "This is impossible! This is my treasure! When did it become the property of a little thief like you?!"
