Chapter 527 The Great Battle on the Endless Ice Plains (Part 1)
An invisible spatial ripple spread rapidly outwards from the iceberg platform, giving the impression that space was about to collapse.
Wang Yu had personally experienced this situation once before.
That was when they hunted down the support team of the Biyun Sect back then.
They once used the Qiankun Explosion of the Heavenly Yin Pool to create a spatial storm and successfully achieved their tactical objective. Now they are facing the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm, which is far larger than the Heavenly Yin Pool.
Once completely destroyed by the Prison King Spirit Official, the power of the spatial storm will reach the extreme of the Ice Prison Realm, and even Nascent Soul cultivators will likely be unable to survive in such an environment.
Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would suffer a severe blow as a result, and the unlucky ones might even perish. This shows that Wang Yu had truly enraged the other party.
The Azure Dragon Demon Lord was still recovering from his injuries and was somewhat wary of the sudden spatial storm, wondering about the reason behind it.
After speaking to rouse the two demon kings, his divine sense immediately locked onto Wang Yu and the others, only to see Yu Tangtang and Yan Ling being enveloped by the aurora.
Like three intertwined spheres of light, they flew ahead at a speed far exceeding that of the two demon kings, and their speed was getting faster and faster, about to disappear into the sky in just a few breaths.
Qinglong quickly spoke up.
"Wait a minute, young friend Wang."
Wang Yufei slowed down considerably and looked over with a half-smile.
"Senior Demon Lord seems to have some insights?"
"No, I'd like to ask... um... have you seen that person?"
"--hehe."
Wang Yu's laughter turned cold. This old scoundrel had indeed met the Prison King Lingguan before, which was why he was forced to leave the place of healing and unexpectedly ran into them.
As a result, even though he knew that Wang Yu was there to help, he did not reveal any of the previous situation. This shows that Wang Yu was magnanimous and did not want to hold a grudge against him.
This is not the place to discuss business.
While everyone was still trying to escape the impact of the collapse of the secret realm, roaming the endless ice plains was actually very suitable for ice-attribute cultivators like Wang Yu.
He can even fly for a whole day.
In this environment, the consumption of a fifth-order escape technique is only slightly faster than the recovery speed of his magic energy. Now that he has just come out, he is also very curious about the situation outside.
Based on the characteristics of those corpses, they should be mixed-race Ice Clan members.
therefore.
Half an incense stick later, the group successfully left the area affected by the spatial ripples. They then casually found an iceberg to stand on, gazing at the grand scene that was about to unfold while discussing the topics they had just finished discussing.
The Azure Dragon Demon Lord seemed to be in a hurry.
Did that being actually attack you?
Wang Yu's eyes darted around, and he gestured towards the direction of the secret realm, saying, "Senior, who do you think could pull off such a grand spectacle?"
The Demon Lord's eyes darkened.
"In that case, let's escape as soon as possible."
"He wants you to be his dog?"
"It's not as awful as you make it out to be, but the meaning is similar..."
Wang Yu suddenly laughed.
"Who would have thought that the renowned Azure Dragon Demon Lord would have his spine broken one day? Are you scared?"
"How could this be!"
The Azure Dragon Demon Lord spoke with conviction, but judging from what he had just said, it was clear that he was genuinely shocked by the power of the Void Refinement stage; otherwise, why would he have wanted to escape?
Wang Yu shook his head with a wry smile.
"This is what he wanted to achieve: to intimidate us so that when we encounter his people again in the future, we will subconsciously fear him behind the scenes. Otherwise, he would have already taken down Wang, and there would be no need for him to get angry at the secret realm."
"On the contrary, the bigger the show he puts on, the more it proves that he has no confidence at all and is very worried that we will oppose him."
Logically speaking, Wang Yu's explanation was clear enough.
Even if the Azure Dragon Demon Lord didn't feel embarrassed, he would breathe a sigh of relief, but he still looked extremely stressed, having completely recovered from the exhilarating feeling of dominating the battlefield.
“What you say makes sense, young friend, but… we only guessed at the limitations this fiend has. If the other side wants to launch a major attack at a crucial moment, it will be a losing proposition!”
--absurd!
The Azure Dragon Demon Lord was even more timid than he had imagined, far exceeding the bounds of due caution. It seems that old age is similar to old age in humans.
They had long lost the ambition they had in their youth.
Upon seeing this.
Wang Yu also gave up on trying to win the other party over, letting the old man do his own thing, and so he almost stopped expressing his opinions.
Since it was pointless to talk, it transformed into a pure response machine until the spatial storm completely erupted, the scene resembling a canvas being slashed by a knife.
The darkness behind it seemed like the source that devoured everything.
The formation of a black hole-like spectacle caused spiderweb-like cracks to appear in the surrounding space, which began to collapse at a visible speed, and the spatial disaster spread rapidly.
Until the space in front of them is completely swallowed up.
A faint glint flashed in Wang Yu's eyes, as if a brilliant idea had flashed through his mind. In that instant, the Taiyin Youtong seemed to undergo a strange change.
We're so close to reaching the fifth tier!
In that instant, Wang Yu's expression changed drastically. Suddenly, a cluster of dark red flames ignited in the spatial storm, rapidly expanding to form a ring of flames.
A handsome young man whom Wang Yu was very familiar with stepped out of the crowd. His eyes seemed to reveal a strange and sinister nature, and two runes flashed from them.
—The Demon Lord of Refining Heaven!
The number one person in the Crimson Phoenix Demon Realm, a peak Nascent Soul expert, the leader of the demonic path... There are many titles and deeds about this person, and it was he who once severely injured Wang Yu, leaving him with only a head.
It could be said that they had a blood feud, but Wang Yu really didn't expect him to appear in the Endless Ice Plains so quickly, and even more so, to appear directly from the spatial storm.
That's the domain of the Prison King and the Spirit Official; it looks incredibly eerie.
Could it be that he is also a pawn of this Six-Eared Thief?
That shouldn't be the case...
Just as Wang Yu was beginning to suspect that the Heavenly Demon Lord might have some kind of secret cooperation with the Prison King Spirit Official, the Azure Dragon Demon Lord had completely lost his temper.
Even after a thousand years, his emotions remained incredibly high.
His cloudy old eyes flashed with a mixture of fear and rage as he shouted excitedly, "Demon Lord of Refining Heaven, I never expected you to dare appear before me!"
Such behavior.
He perfectly embodied the phrase "all bark and no bite," just like a clown on a stage, said the Heavenly Demon Lord with great interest.
"You've been hiding from me for a thousand years, do you think you can escape? I'll let your blood, bones, and cultivation become my new power."
That's all.
They completely ignored the existence of Wang Yu and the others.
With a clear objective, they charged straight at the Azure Dragon Demon Lord. The two demon kings were greatly alarmed, worried that the Demon Lord would be defeated due to underestimating his opponent, and hurriedly shouted.
"Ancestor, be careful. The Demon Lord of Refining Heaven has already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage."
In fact, there's no need to remind him. How could the Azure Dragon Demon Lord not know about his old rival's situation? With the other party's talent, it's perfectly normal for him to have cultivated to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
Wang Yu, feeling ignored, was somewhat displeased.
However, he was glad that the other party's goal was clear enough, at least he wouldn't be the one to bear the danger, so he grabbed the two women and fled towards the direction of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect.
They showed no intention of staying.
At this stage, we should still maintain sufficient respect for peak Nascent Soul cultivators, unless they break through to a higher level.
But the Azure Dragon Demon Lord thought differently and immediately shouted.
"Young friend Wang, help me deal with this demon, and I promise you half of the Northern Demon Clan's treasure trove after we succeed."
Wang Yu curled his lip. This old guy didn't know his family's treasure vault as well as he did. He knew exactly what was inside, especially since he had been refining high-grade elixirs for sixty years.
The rare and precious herbs inside had either been turned into pills or ended up in his pocket, making them utterly unattractive.
His shout also drew the attention of the Heavenly Demon Lord.
His speeding figure suddenly stopped.
He exclaimed in surprise.
"A fifth-tier body refiner, possessing a near-perfect physical body... I remember you."
Without turning his head, Wang Yu unleashed the Aurora Escape Technique to its fullest extent, his soaring light far surpassing the escape speed of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.
The Demon Lord of Refining Heaven hesitated for only a moment before a ball of demonic flame essence separated from his body, quickly transforming into his appearance and chasing after Wang Yu, while his true form continued to attack the Azure Dragon Demon Lord.
This is the core inheritance of the Demonic Sect.
—【The Demonic Flame Fractal Technique】!
It is one of the ultimate supernatural abilities recorded in the "Refining Heaven True Demon Scripture", which can create an avatar with 80% of the original's strength using demonic flames.
Its duration depends on the forces that differentiate from it.
If this thing were to chase after Wang Yu, it would be a no-brainer. Wang Yu would definitely be no match for the Demon Flame Avatar. The innate divine power of the Heavenly Demon Lord was the only choice passed down through their lineage.
Refining Heaven Technique!
The origin of this technique is unknown, but it can be used to acquire some of the abilities of living or dead beings of the same level by completely devouring them.
For example.
By devouring a Nascent Soul demon, the Heavenly Demon Lord can obtain nearly 50% of the demon's blood and energy foundation, greatly enhancing his physical strength, and also acquiring one or two innate divine abilities from the demon's bloodline.
If one devours inanimate objects, such as lapis lazuli, one can acquire the hardening effect of this spiritual object and have it added to one's own bones.
The improvement in strength is undeniable.
The longer one lives, the more extraneous materials one can refine, and the stronger one's strength will grow to an unimaginable level. It is known as the number one refining technique in the Ice Prison Realm!
However, this thing also has strong side effects.
Each realm has a strict limit on the amount of external things it can absorb. If it exceeds this limit by too much, it will collapse due to the body's inability to bear the burden, turning into a pile of rotten flesh.
Therefore, each inheritance of the Refining Heaven lineage is extremely bloody.
They select geniuses from among geniuses; only those who successfully cultivate the Heaven Refining Technique are qualified to become the successor of the Demonic Overlord.
Living in a high-pressure environment with a risk of death for a long time.
From a young age, these seeds have abnormal thinking. When they go mad, they become the most terrifying demonic madmen. It is completely impossible to control such beings.
Unless special methods far exceeding the Nascent Soul stage are used.
Faced with the rapidly approaching demonic flame clone, Wang Yu had no time to think about the situation on the Azure Dragon Demon Lord's side, but he could guess that the other party was still injured and was probably no match for the Refining Heaven Demon Lord.
If he is eliminated, it won't just be one demonic flame clone chasing him anymore.
The key to breaking this deadlock lies with the demon race.
After a moment's thought, Wang Yu quickly replied.
"Junior Sister Yanling, Tangtang, you two should run separately from me. The enemy's target should be me."
Possessing such a profound and mysterious demonic art as the Heaven Refining Technique, it's obvious what the other party is planning—they definitely want to devour him.
The path of the demon is that simple and direct.
Therefore, running separately is actually a safer option.
Who would have thought?
Yan Ling completely rejected the suggestion.
“No, it would be too dangerous for Senior Brother Wang to face a powerful enemy alone, even if it means death… Yan Ling wants to help.”
“That’s not what I meant. You have a soul imprint, which is a special physique. You absolutely cannot let this guy know about it. Besides, I have something for you to do.”
Yan Ling was taken aback.
"What's up?"
"Take this first."
Wang Yu took out a map and handed it to the other party, and quickly explained: "This is Hanxue Peak's exploration and record of the Endless Ice Plains, mainly marking the locations of the ancient teleportation arrays."
"You and Tangtang need to leave the Ice Plains as soon as possible and head to the Dragon Mountain Range to inform the White Tiger Demon Lord about the situation here. Although he and the Azure Dragon have a grudge, he is the victor in the struggle."
"They did not suffer any actual losses as a result. Furthermore, both of them are top-level Venerables of the Demon Clan, and he would not sit idly by and watch the Azure Dragon die at the hands of the Demon Lord."
Internal strife aside, when faced with sufficient external pressure, even the most belligerent groups will unite and stand together against external forces.
This is an innate position determined by bloodline, and no one can change it.
This plan is the only solution in the current urgent situation. The Demon Lord of Refining Heaven is too powerful. Whether the two women can save Qinglong's life depends on their speed.
As for Wang Yu, he was being pursued by the demonic flame clone.
Actually, it's not a big problem.
The ability to create a clone and the ability to create an external avatar are two completely different supernatural powers. The former involves one consciousness controlling two bodies.
The latter involves splitting into two consciousnesses that control two bodies, with the risk of the primary and secondary consciousnesses being reversed at any time. Sometimes, even the cultivator may forget who their original body is.
These are all side effects of having an external avatar.
After all, such a divine power is so strong that when two people of the same level cooperate perfectly and become one, they can beat up another opponent with an advantage that is almost overwhelming.
Side effects are normal, so as long as enough pressure is applied to the main body of the Heavenly Demon Lord, he will naturally be unable to focus on Wang Yu's situation.
This will cause the combat power of the Demon Flame clone to decline.
At that time, dealing with the clones or taking the opportunity to escape completely will be much simpler than it is now.
After Wang Yu finished speaking, Yan Ling quickly understood the meaning behind his words.
"I understand, I'll be going now!"
Knowing she had a heavy responsibility, Yan Ling didn't hesitate to prepare to split up and run away. Yu Tangtang, on the other hand, hadn't figured out the relationship before Yan Ling pulled her away.
Her demon race identity ensures that Yan Ling can successfully meet the White Tiger Demon Lord.
After discovering that Wang Yu and the others had separated, the demonic flame clones that were pursuing them did not hesitate at all and, as expected, chose to chase after Wang Yu's aurora.
The Demon Lord of Refining Heaven did indeed intend to devour him using the Refining Heaven Technique. The body of a fifth-level Body Refiner was a rare delicacy, which would be perfect for taking advantage of his strengths and compensating for his weaknesses.
That's the type he needs.
Encountering Wang Yu while chasing the Azure Dragon Demon Lord was an unexpected delight.
A battle royale on the frozen plains quickly unfolded.
No one could have predicted what the final outcome would be.
at the same time.
