Chapter 1233 Finding Another Way
"What exactly did Su Hanyi take away?" Luo Li's voice was not loud, but it carried unquestionable weight, and every word struck Su Qingyue's tense heartstrings.
Su Qingyue's expression changed several times, and finally turned into a bitter paleness.
She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she felt a thick, unbending heaviness: "It's the Heart of the Ice Soul."
"That is the true core hub of the Frozen Throne. It is the deepest connection between the Su family bloodline and the throne's origin. It is also one of the most important formation points for stabilizing the seal of the Demon Abyss."
Her voice was filled with indescribable fatigue. "When Su Hanyi left, he took her with him. Since then, the power of the seal has been like a giant wheel without its main axis. Although it has not completely collapsed due to the might of the throne itself and the suppression of the clan leader's remaining soul, loosening and erosion are inevitable."
She gazed at the silent ice platform with a complex expression. "The chaos and decay of the clan leader's remnant soul is probably not just the result of the long passage of time. It's also the constant erosion of the evil thoughts emanating from the Demonic Abyss. Like fine poisonous needles, it constantly pierces her already fragile will day and night. The throne can provide energy, but it cannot isolate her from this invisible contamination."
Dark golden light flowed silently around Emperor Xuanming, and strange images of ice and fire were condensed in the depths of his eyes.
Xuan Ye, Shi Ri and Tun Yue exchanged glances, their expressions extremely solemn.
Demonic Abyss.
These two words themselves represent taboo and destruction.
Luo Li's eyes were sharp as a knife, instantly connecting all the clues. "So, the Ice Soul Heart is not only the key to maintaining the seal, but also the anchor of the Ice God's remnant soul's will? Without it, the seal will loosen, the aura of the Demonic Abyss will leak out and corrode the remnant soul, causing her memory to become confused and her will to become unstable? And the Mysterious Ice Source Platform is only a temporary solution to the problem, not the root cause."
Su Qingyue nodded gravely, "That's right. We only knew that the clan leader's condition was deteriorating, and we thought it was a backlash from the throne's power escaping after losing the Ice Soul Heart. We ignored the more deadly source of the erosion from the Demonic Abyss."
"Obtaining the Ice Soul Heart will not only stabilize the seal and prevent the Demonic Abyss from invading the clan leader's remaining soul, but it may also be the key to restoring her chaotic will."
Luo Li looked at Su Qingyue with burning eyes, "Is it still in Su Hanyi's body?"
Di Xuanming's eyes flickered, but he remained calm and said, "Mother is currently in the Soul Condensing Abyss of the Frozen Throne. However, when we visited her just now, we didn't find anything else within her soul."
Su Qingyue pursed her lips. "If we want the Ice Soul Heart to appear, we must restore Su Hanyi's body. However, her remaining soul is even more fragile than the clan leader's, so she can only be nurtured in the Soul Condensation Abyss."
The plan seemed to have come to a complete standstill.
"Soul Condensing Abyss..." Luo Li repeated in a low voice, frowning.
Any attempt to inject vitality into the Soul Condensing Abyss will be repelled by the invisible force of law.
Forcibly resurrecting Su Hanyi is nothing but a foolish dream.
But if Su Hanyi does not resurrect, then the Heart of Bingpo cannot be obtained, and the remaining soul of the Ice God cannot obtain a new body.
The aura around Emperor Xuanming instantly became heavy, and the dark golden flames and ice crystals in the depths of his heterochromatic pupils seemed to solidify.
He knew better than anyone the fragility of his mother's remaining soul.
The Soul-Condensing Abyss is her refuge and also an invisible cage.
Forcibly awakening and reshaping it will have little hope of success and may even accelerate its disappearance.
Xuan Ye crossed his arms, the usual cynicism on his face completely disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression:
"Soul Condensation Abyss... that place is a natural graveyard for spirits. You can only enter but not exit, and you can only nourish but not live. It's a miracle that Su Hanyi's soul can survive in there. Want to rebuild her body in there? Haha, that's even harder than letting this kid explode just now."
He was referring to the danger of mutual destruction when Emperor Xuanming forcibly merged their bloodlines.
Shiri nodded silently, while Tunyue looked at Luo Li and Di Xuanming worriedly.
Hope seems to be pushed to the brink again, and is even more out of reach than before.
Su Qingyue looked at the heavy expressions on everyone's faces, her icy blue eyes filled with bitterness. "I know this is almost impossible. Su Hanyi's residual soul is like a firefly, weak and can only exist in that specific environment. Forcibly taking it out, or trying to inject too much vitality into the abyss, will cause it to completely extinguish."
The only sound in the hall was the faint sound of the powder from the Xuanbing Source Platform falling, and it was cold and silent.
The threat of the Demon Abyss is like a sword hanging over one's head, the chaos of the Ice God's residual soul is like a wick that is about to go out, and the only key to solve the problem is locked in an unopenable box.
Di Xuanming's gaze fell on Luo Li. She didn't say anything, just stood there quietly, her eyes deep, as if she was thinking.
The Chaos Jade flickered slightly in her palm, emitting a soft and ancient halo.
Time passed by little by little, and the depressing atmosphere was almost suffocating.
At this moment, Luo Li raised her gaze from the Chaos Jade, and the chaotic mist in her deep eyes was replaced by an almost cold clarity.
She didn't look at Su Qingyue, nor at Xuan Ye and the others, but stared straight into Di Xuanming's heterochromatic eyes that contained new strength.
"Ah Ming," her voice was unusually calm, yet penetrating. "How do you feel about your power of ice and fire?"
Emperor Xuanming was slightly startled, then he calmed his mind and sensed the slowly rotating dark golden vortex in his body.
Every flow of power carries with it the absolute annihilation of ice and the violent creation of fire. Under the coordination of the true meaning of chaos, the two extreme attributes have achieved a kind of incredible balance and unity, forming a new original power that transcends a single bloodline.
"Stable, powerful, and sharp." He spoke concisely, and every word contained an absolute sense of power.
"Very good." Luo Li raised the corner of her lips in a very faint, yet sharp as a knife arc.
She turned her gaze towards Su Qingyue, with unquestionable determination, "Saintess, we don't need to wait for the Ice Soul Heart to appear on its own, nor do we need to allow Senior Su Hanyi to be resurrected in the Soul Condensing Abyss."
Su Qingyue suddenly raised her head, her icy blue eyes filled with astonishment: "City Lord Luo, what do you mean by this? The laws of the Soul Condensing Abyss..."
"The laws within the Soul Condensing Abyss are not unavoidable. The key lies in balance."
Luo Li interrupted her, speaking faster and more clearly, "The Soul Condensing Abyss rejects 'external vitality' that disrupts its balance. But what if this vitality originates from the same source as the residual souls nurtured within the Soul Condensing Abyss, or is even part of its power?"
Her gaze returned to Di Xuanming, like a star locking onto a target. "What is the foundation of Ah Ming's newfound power of ice and fire? It's the purest source of the Su family's Frozen Throne! It's a power he forcibly merged with his own will, yet the bloodline imprint remains."
"To the remnant soul of Senior Su Hanyi within the Soul Condensing Abyss, this power isn't an outsider, but its very source! It's the key to awakening her dormant bloodline imprint!"
Su Qingyue's pupils suddenly contracted as a shocking thought flashed through her mind: "Are you suggesting that Di Xuanming use the portion of his inner power that belonged to the Su family throne as a bridge and trigger to directly awaken and guide Aunt Su Hanyi's residual soul within the Soul Condensing Abyss and forcibly condense the Heart of Icy Soul?!"
This idea is too bold and too crazy.
The Soul Condensing Abyss is a dead and silent place, and any powerful power fluctuation may completely shatter the fragile remaining soul.
Not to mention guiding it to condense its core origin.
"That's right!" Luo Li's voice was resolute, carrying with it a determination to fight to the death. "As long as there's a trace of the Su family's origin imprint still intact in her residual soul, under the stimulation of Ah Ming's power of the same origin and balance, there's a slight chance that the Ice Soul Heart will be forcibly awakened and activated!"
She looked at Di Xuanming, her eyes sharp and full of trust. "Ah Ming, your power is both the catalyst and the vessel. What you need to do is control the ice essence within you, extract the purest aura closest to the throne's essence, penetrate the barrier of the Soul Condensing Abyss, and touch the deepest blood imprint of your mother's remnant soul."
"At the same time, using your powerful will as an anchor, once you sense the fluctuations of the Ice Soul Heart, immediately use the remaining medicinal power of the Chaos Guiyuan Pill as a buffer, guide it, and seal it into your own power core for temporary storage."
A terrifying glint instantly shone from Di Xuanming's eyes. Without hesitation, he said in a deep voice, "We can give it a try."
"No! It's too dangerous!" Su Qingyue cried out, "Ninghunyuan is very sensitive to power! If we're not careful, Su Hanyi's residual..."
"There's no time!" Luo Li's voice rose. "The Ice Goddess's remaining soul is being rapidly eroded by the power of the Demonic Abyss. Every chaotic outburst consumes her last remaining essence. Before we can find another solution, she will completely dissipate, and the seal of the Demonic Abyss will loosen. This is the only and fastest way out."
She took a step forward, her invisible aura pressing in. "Saintess, we need to act immediately. At the same time, please return to your clan immediately and mobilize all available forces to set up the strongest isolation formation to seal off the entire perimeter of the Soul Condensing Abyss."
She lowered her voice, "When Ah Ming unleashes his power, the fluctuations will be astonishing. We must isolate ourselves from any potential interference, especially from the prying eyes of the Demon Abyss."
Su Qingyue looked at Luo Li's eyes, burning with determination, then at Di Xuanming's figure, steady as a mountain, unflinching and unflinching. Her heart was in turmoil. Reason told her this was a gamble of life and death, but Luo Li's analysis was like a ray of light that pierced the darkness, allowing her to see a glimpse of hope that seemed almost impossible.
Finally, Su Qingyue gritted her teeth, and an unprecedented glint of determination flashed in her icy blue eyes: "Okay! Follow me!"
She said no more, her figure transformed into an ice-blue stream of light, and rushed straight towards the ancient shadow of the Ice Throne standing deep in the depths of the Palace of Eternal Silence.
Luo Li and Di Xuanming followed closely behind. Xuan Ye and the other two looked at each other and followed without hesitation.
Su Qingyue stood before the throne's shadowy form, her hands clasping ancient, complex spells while she chanted obscure syllables. Icy-blue runes flowed from her fingertips, merging into the throne's shadowy form like a living being.
