Chapter 528 The Great Battle on the Endless Ice Plains (Part Two)
As the leader of the righteous path, the Void Heaven Sword Sect stands on Taihu Lake, its entire mountain gate resembling a giant floating mountain.
It occupies the most central part of the entire Spirit Realm.
The ancient demon of life is sealed inside the floating mountain, and below it, at the bottom of Taihu Lake, lies the forbidden land of the sword tomb, where all the sword masters of the seventy-two peaks can enter and choose a natal spirit sword.
When a Sword Sect cultivator dies, their natal spirit sword is buried in the Sword Tomb for future generations to choose and use.
The Sword Sect's mountain gate is majestic and magnificent, with spiritual energy like mist shrouding the place, making it ethereal and mysterious, giving people a feeling of otherworldly beauty.
Surrounded by numerous scattered, star-like boulders, also suspended in mid-air, above which are pavilions, waterside terraces, and magnificent palaces.
Or they might be special buildings like palaces, pavilions, or martial arts arenas, connected by chains, walkways, and covered bridges, where cranes sometimes fly by and monkeys sometimes climb.
It is a vibrant natural scene.
At that time.
Forbidden Area of the Mountain Gate—Heavenly Sword Cliff!
A white-haired, youthful-looking man, resembling an enlightened novice, sat upright on one side of the chessboard, his right hand holding a white piece between two fingers, hovering above the board.
He stroked his smooth chin with his left hand, his voice as clear and childlike as a child's.
"The Heavenly Demon Lord has gone to the Endless Ice Plains, presumably for the matter of the Azure Dragon Demon Lord."
With that, the white piece pressed down.
The other person playing against him was a handsome middle-aged man, whose body exuded a fragrant aroma that was so refreshing that even a single breath could prolong life.
He plays chess very quickly, pressing down the black pieces almost without thinking, and then there is another long wait.
The man said calmly.
"Let him go. He'll come to our mountain gate sooner or later anyway. It's fine to let him continue to increase his strength. But this time... does Senior Brother Taixu really intend to let the ancient demon break the seal?"
"-Shh!"
The boy-like cultivator was none other than the Sword Sect Master, the number one sword cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, Venerable Taixu!
He became famous a long time ago, even earlier than the current Heavenly Demon Lord, so he was forced to cultivate a technique similar to that of Granny Silver Moon.
Rejuvenation is both a side effect and a manifestation of the effects of this secret technique. It can indirectly extend one's lifespan, but it is of no benefit to cultivation, thus greatly reducing its value.
However, when used to preserve the foundation of a sect, it still belongs to the top-tier longevity secret method.
After letting out a soft sigh, Taixu said with dissatisfaction.
"Dan Chenzi, those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles, but that does not mean that one can say just any thing at any time."
The middle-aged man, Dan Chenzi, grinned.
"Isn't it because Senior Brother Taixu is here? Junior Brother already knew I didn't need to worry about it."
"you……"
Speechless, Taixu didn't continue to refute.
After a moment of silence, he let out a long sigh.
"The cage is hard to break, and the human heart is hard to fathom. I'm afraid that Lian Tian is young and impetuous, and he might really be bewitched by that scoundrel and believe his lies."
"Young and impetuous?"
Dan Chenzi immediately burst out laughing.
"Senior brother has lived too long and has probably forgotten that this generation's Refining Heaven Demon Lord only has three hundred years left to live and has already cultivated to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage."
"He must reserve enough lifespan so that he has enough time to make a breakthrough after ascending to the True Spirit Realm, otherwise why would this war between the righteous and the demonic have been so rushed?"
"The Azure Cloud Sect, the Moon Gazing Palace... and the Zhenbei Tower, which is like a clown, are trying to fool us like pigs."
It's not hard to see from their conversation.
Although the Sword Sect did not appear in public many times during this war between the righteous and the demonic, they were well aware of all the situations in secret, and even knew that the Zhenbei Tower had secretly sided with the Ice Clan.
They've just been holding back and not doing anything.
"They are just a group of opportunists, not yet to the point of betraying their race. Once Xue Wushuang has perfected her Nascent Soul cultivation technique, she will naturally sever all ties with them."
"This may be the final stage for our generation. Regardless of success or failure, the Void Heaven Sword Sect will disappear. It all depends on the Refining Heaven Demon Lord... I hope he can get what he wants."
Clearly, he is a top expert in the Ice Prison Realm.
The goal of Venerable Taixu is the same as that of Demon Lord Liantian; they both hope to break free from their shackles and be reborn, and they aspire to continue climbing the Great Dao.
This allows them to collaborate remotely, even without meeting in person.
When one's cultivation reaches a certain level, whether one is a righteous or demonic being, there is no sense of being a mortal enemy. No matter what conflicts arise, they can be compromised and discussed.
Breaking the shackles of the Ice Prison Realm was in their common interest, which is why Wang Yu felt that even if he did nothing, it was worth it.
These old men, whether ambitious or with lofty ideals, will definitely not sit idly by and wait for their doom!
This is a common trait among people who have risen from the bottom.
Facing the inspectors of the Celestial Palace, they have once again returned to the bottom of the cultivation world. Whether they win or lose will likely be decided within a hundred years.
Having hastily ended the topic, Venerable Taixu "accidentally" bumped the chessboard, causing it to wobble and, by sheer coincidence, knocking over half of the chess pieces.
His face lit up with joy.
"A draw, a draw, let's start another game."
In contrast, Dan Chenzi's face was ashen with anger. He shouted, "You worthless chess player, all you know is to play tricks! I'm not playing anymore... Next time, call Chunyang and see if he'll try to sabotage you!"
Taixu blinked and said in a cute manner.
"Then put it back?"
With their level of skill, even if the pieces were in disarray, they could still remember their previous positions. But... Dan Chenzi, who had already suffered from this before, had no desire to play at all.
Thinking back to last time, that's how he was tricked.
Taixu argued that his spiritual realm was stronger, claiming that he had misremembered the position, which not only messed up his game but also inexplicably turned his overwhelming advantage into a disastrous situation.
What's most infuriating is that he can't even beat Taixu.
"I never want to play this game again in my life, hmph!"
The words fell.
Dan Chenzi transformed into a sword light and disappeared directly on Tianjian Cliff.
Taixu scratched his head, muttering to himself with a puzzled look on his face.
Are you really angry?
"No... It must be because he was no match for the Sword Sect Chess Saint's superior skill level that he used anger to cover up his embarrassment. Hmm... that must be it."
"Haha, as expected of you."
"Taixu, you're still so shameless. If Danchenzi knew you were insulting him like this behind his back, he would definitely fight you to the death."
Suddenly, a sound from beyond the heavens rang out.
A sword light descended from the clouds, emanating from one of the three elders of the Sword Sect, known as "Chunyangzi." Although he only possessed the cultivation of the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage, he wielded the power of the Chunyang Sword Scripture.
He was able to exchange a few blows with Taixu, and his combat strength was several levels higher than Dan Chenzi's. His sudden appearance at this moment was naturally not just to mock his close friend.
After a brief argument, the two finally got down to business.
"On their way to support Lei Huo Temple, Jianhe, Fuling, and Miaozhen noticed something unusual in the sky. The moon was unusually bright. They asked me to ask my senior brother if the situation had changed."
"Changes in stellar positions?"
The Sword Sect once obtained a divination method called "Shifting Stars and Changing Constellations" from ancient ruins, which is another form of divination.
Being able to glimpse a corner of the future by observing the stars in the heavens is one of the reasons why Venerable Taixu was willing to believe in the Demon Lord.
Therefore, changes in the position of stars are no small matter.
…………
…………
An endless ice field.
Whenever Wang Yu thought he had shaken off the Demon Flame clone, the clone would use a divine ability called the Great Escape of Fire, which allowed him to directly jump through space by summoning a cluster of flames in the distance.
Wang Yu's Aurora Escape Technique is indeed fast.
Given his cultivation level, it was actually difficult for him to unleash the true maximum speed of this escape technique. Therefore, although the demonic flame clone could not catch up, it was also difficult for him to shake off.
They always maintained a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
He has now cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage in all aspects, but his cultivation level is holding him back, preventing him from fully unleashing many of his abilities.
However, the Heavenly Demon Lord was at least at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
Even though the demonic flame clones were top-tier experts, the fact that they could maintain a sufficient distance and not be caught up was already a testament to the successful application of the Aurora Escape Technique.
As time passed, the two streaks of light, chasing each other for three days, quietly departed, venturing deeper into the endless ice plains.
Wang Yu originally intended to return to the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect.
But after thinking about it again, he changed direction and chose to go deep into the core area of the ice field. As a high-risk area, Wang Yu had heard rumors that even Nascent Soul cultivators could not cross the "Ice Field Storm" when he was young.
This might be an environment worth taking advantage of.
The colder the environment, the greater the boost to his combat power. After several days of pursuit, Wang Yu finally spotted a frigid storm raging across the frozen plains.
Terrifying black ice crystals formed a pitch-black tornado, like a black sandstorm in the desert, plunging the world into darkness. The extreme cold power could even freeze divine consciousness.
Thanks to the Frozen Magic Element's super resistance to low temperatures.
Wang Yu plunged headlong into the extreme cold storm, while the demonic flame clone chasing behind him was equally fearless, its body covered with a layer of demonic flames as it decisively charged in.
The core of this clone is part of the origin of the Heavenly Demon Flame. It can be said that its foundation is a ball of flame. What flame is afraid of low temperature?
As long as it does not exceed its carrying capacity, even extreme cold will retreat wherever the demonic flame clone goes.
This situation was also within Wang Yu's expectations.
The environment is just an inanimate object, and there are countless ways to deal with it. His real purpose is only one thing—to accelerate the energy consumption of the demonic flame clone.
The stronger the opponent's resistance to extreme cold, the greater the consumption of energy.
As long as he is within the Endless Ice Plains, it is Wang Yu's home ground, and he fears no one!
Wang Yu, who entered the storm first, decisively used the Return to the Void Concealment Spell to hide himself in the spatial interlayer and conceal all his presence.
The two entered the storm only one after the other.
They then completely lost track of the other party.
This was something the Demon Flame Avatar hadn't anticipated. It licked its bright red lips and grinned, "You've got some skill. No wonder you've made Chi Tian suffer setbacks time and time again. Now it seems he might not even be your match."
In other words, Wang Yu really did develop.
How many years has it been?
The thought of Wang Yu's age stirred up a surge of jealousy within her. A young man over three hundred years old... a fifth-order body refinement cultivator? Nobody would believe it if you told them!
He dared not even imagine how strong he would be if he were allowed to cultivate normally to the age of a thousand.
Whenever he thinks of this spirit slave's origins and his wasted spiritual roots, he is filled with awe.
That burning jealousy was palpable!
Realizing that his divine sense could not penetrate the storm's influence, the demonic flame clone immediately stopped, clasped his hands together, and the flesh between his brows began to writhe.
Suddenly a crack appeared.
A scarlet eyeball emerged from the crack, strangely containing two pupils. The cruel and murderous eye quickly locked onto a spot in the storm.
This is the physical talent that the main body obtained by devouring the ferocious beast [Chongming Bird] using the Refining Heaven Technique. Originally, the effect of the Chongming Eye was to exorcise evil and gain insight.
It has the ability to purify the world of impurities.
Influenced by the power of the Heavenly Demon Lord, it underwent adaptive adjustments, directly transforming into a demonic eye, and its original abilities mutated.
It can bring darkness and filth, and has the ability to see through the illusion and reality of space, so it locked onto Wang Yu's location in the blink of an eye.
The Guixu Hidden Heaven Curse failed for the first time.
Wang Yu countered each move with a counter-move. Seeing the Demon Flame clone attacking again, he used the Ice Prison Demon Seal, which he had been preparing to use for a sneak attack, to launch a frontal assault.
This caused the space to tremble violently, and a chill filled the universe!
As if Mount Buzhou had collapsed, the Ice Mountain Seal, which suppressed everything, slammed down fiercely. The Demon Flame Avatar spun around and transformed into a spiral of red and black flames.
With an extremely tough stance, it withstood the Iceberg Demon Seal head-on.
The moment the two touched, spiderweb-like cracks spread across the iceberg, and in a breath, two breaths... it shattered with a deafening roar!
Wang Yu's expression changed drastically. This type of suppressive divine power was broken. Unlike simple offensive divine powers, it was still mentally connected to the body even after being thrown out.
As a result of the backlash, Wang Yu coughed up a mouthful of blood on the spot.
The demonic flame clone stood proudly in mid-air with his hands behind his back. The howling wind around him was sharper than a blade, but it was like a gentle breeze to him, not even breaking a strand of his hair.
Behind him were scattered, tiny ice fragments, the remnants of Wang Yu's power.
Such a scene revealed a power gap that was enough to make one despair, but Wang Yu remained relatively calm.
He frowned.
"Senior, why do you have to make things difficult for me?"
No.
The demonic flame clone shook its head.
"It is you who have repeatedly disrupted my plans. Now that you have become a Venerable One, you will add another boost to my plans."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the fiery tornado struck again.
Wang Yu summoned the Demonic Dragon Armor and threw a powerful punch with his right hand. Under the Emperor's might, the peerless demonic dragon roared out, which was the Dragon Emperor Fist at the Lesser Completion stage!
This punch was far more powerful than the Ice Prison Demon Seal alone, as it perfectly combined with Wang Yu's physical strength, reaching the terrifying brute force of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm.
This caused the demonic flame clone to frown deeply.
This time, instead of a direct confrontation, he used his left hand to form a circle, creating a black hole-like vortex of flames. When the demonic dragon, formed from divine power, passed through it, its power was reduced by at least 50%.
This is a combat technique similar to the Tai Chi Hunyuan Hand.
Living a long life is a good thing; you can improve almost every aspect to the highest level at this stage, and your experience in fighting enemies is incredibly rich.
The weakened demonic dragon was once again shattered by a single palm strike from the demonic flame clone.
As the smoke from the dissipated divine power dissipated, Wang Yu's figure vanished once more, having taken the opportunity to escape.
A clone is just a clone; its power is limited.
It is not yet able to recover on its own.
Therefore, Wang Yu's goal of wearing down his opponent remained unchanged: he wanted the opponent to display strength so that he could buy more time until the White Tiger Demon Lord arrived.
He never considered simply eliminating the other party...
I recommend a friend's book, "Immortal Cultivation in the Islands: From Family Fisherman to Immortal Lord of the Four Seas".
[Recommendation]:
After traversing the island world of immortal cultivation, Zhang Yinzhou became a family's fishing slave, forced to serve on a demon-hunting ship for ten years before gaining his freedom!
Monsters roam the seas, and if you're not careful when fishing at sea, your boat will be destroyed and you will lose your life.
With inferior aptitude, unable to achieve Qi Refining, and with no hope of Foundation Establishment, Zhang Yinzhou, who couldn't even survive this voyage, let alone ten years, fell into despair. At this moment, a profession panel appeared deep within his consciousness.
Fisherman (Not Ranked)
→ Raising a true dragon
→【Lord of the Dragon Palace (Immortal Rank)】
...
【Spirit Butcher (Low Grade)】
→Sweep away the eyes of the sea calamity
→【Demon-Slaying True Lord (Immortal Grade)】
...
Time flies, and countless years later, relying on his professional panel and unique "ship repair" system, Zhang Yinzhou stands above the seas and attains the only Great Luo Fruit position in the world!
Profession: [Four Seas Immortal Lord (Great Luo Immortal Rank)] + [Primordial Purple Qi]
→【Daozhu∞】
The moment he successfully took office, Zhang Yinzhou opened his palm, looked at the monkey in his palm, and laughed: "Monkey, I heard that you can somersault 108,000 li. I wonder if you can escape my Five Fingers Sea?"
