Standing on the glacier, Lu Ning's gaze swept around. The entire glacier stretched as far as the eye could see, with no end in sight.
Osiris shuddered, then asked, "Lord Yanbing, are there powerful monsters here?"
Yan Bing nodded: "Yes, the core of this glacier is the headquarters of the Frost Domain Cult."
Ya'en and the others' expressions changed, and they became wary.
"Frost Domain?"
As saints, they naturally knew about this cult. Although it was not as powerful as the Moon God Cult or the Sun God Cult, it was still one of the largest cults discovered by the Bureau of Mystery.
However, they were unaware that an evil god existed in the Frost Realm.
They were fully aware of Yan Bing's implied meaning.
Aishalin asked, "Lord Yanbing, do you mean that there is an evil god in the Frost Realm?"
"Yes, he is a chosen one of the gods."
Everyone's eyes flickered.
Those favored by the gods are beings who have received the favor of an evil god behind them, and can even command the power of that evil god.
For example, back in Base City 116, that chosen one of the gods from Paradise, although not particularly strong, could still unleash extremely powerful energy.
A demigod-level chosen one naturally possesses terrifying strength.
"This news needs to be reported later," Yann said with a serious expression.
The others nodded in agreement.
"Let's go, we won't go through the core area of the glacier."
Yan Bing strode towards the depths of the glacier.
Lu Ning and his group followed closely behind.
The deeper you go into the glacier, the lower the temperature becomes.
Lu Ning and his group often saw monsters made entirely of ice.
These monsters seemed to lack reason and attacked as soon as they saw Lu Ning and his group.
The monsters range in strength from seventh rank to saint level.
However, they couldn't cause any trouble for Lu Ning and his group. In fact, as soon as these frost monsters got close to them, Yan Bing used the power of frost to disintegrate them.
Before a demigod with the power of frost, this monster of the same kind was completely suppressed.
According to Yan Bing's explanation, the frost monsters here are formed from the power emitted by the deity worshipped at the headquarters of the Frost Domain.
"A great war broke out within the Frost Domain cult. The chosen one of the gods once summoned the gods, and that war caused a significant increase in mental pollution in the vicinity."
Everyone was a little surprised. Yaen asked, "Why is there a great battle? Have the guardians arrived?"
Yan Bing shook his head: "I don't know. I was quite far away at the time and didn't intend to go over and check."
Lu Ning asked with some curiosity, "Is there a barrier crack in the core area of the Frost Domain?"
The others also looked at Yan Bing with curiosity.
They now understand that these cults, regardless of the evil gods behind them, probably all hope to break down the barriers.
Only in this way can the evil god behind them descend upon Earth as quickly as possible.
Now they are no longer surprised to hear that a cult has opened a rift in the barrier.
Yan Bing shook his head: "Not yet."
Hearing this, Yann and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
The group talked as they walked, and in order not to alert the enemy, they did not use any overly powerful mental energy or abilities, but relied solely on their physical strength to advance on the glacier.
About a day later, they crossed the area.
Beyond the glacier lies a region shrouded in complete darkness, devoid of any light.
Even though Lu Ning and the others all had night vision, they couldn't see what was ahead in such darkness.
Clearly, this darkness itself is abnormal.
Yan Bing calmly said, "This area is the most dangerous. Mutations can occur at any time in the darkness. I don't know exactly what's inside."
Everyone frowned: "Then how should we get there?"
"I know a path that isn't so dark."
Yan Bing strode away into the distance. Upon hearing this, Lu Ning and the others breathed a sigh of relief and followed.
Soon, they followed the edge of the dark area to a slightly brighter area.
The bright area was less than 100 meters wide, and even with some light, visibility was still extremely low.
Standing outside the Dark Domain, Lu Ning and the others could only see about twenty meters into the Dark Domain.
It is foreseeable that once they enter the darkness, visibility will probably be only about twenty meters in radius.
However, it's much better than areas that are completely invisible.
Yan Bing was the first to enter the dark domain, and Lu Ning and the others immediately followed.
Once inside the dark area, as they had anticipated, visibility was indeed only about twenty meters.
Within their field of vision, they saw a lawn completely covered with long, thin weeds.
These weeds swayed without wind, looking like long black hair dancing in the air.
"Don't touch these black weeds."
A chilling aura emanated from Yan Bing, freezing and shattering the weeds wherever it passed.
Lu Ning and the others followed the path Yan Bing had taken, not daring to touch the black weeds.
After walking for about several dozen kilometers into the dark space, a terrifying mental fluctuation suddenly approached rapidly.
A dark, twisted shadow suddenly burst forth from the depths of darkness; it was an indescribably bizarre and distorted figure.
The figure was about two people tall, completely black, like a shadow, and surrounded by twisted tentacles that looked like long hair.
After the shadow appeared, the dark tentacles shot towards Lu Ning, who was closest to it.
Lu Ning frowned; he could sense that the shadow's aura had reached the level of a high-level Saint.
Although not as good as Yann, he's not far off, and much stronger than Osiris and Aisharin.
Just as Lu Ning was about to make a move, the shadow was suddenly frozen and then shattered.
The shattered shadows did not seem to die; instead, they wriggled and disappeared into the darkness, never to reappear.
The others, including Yann, remained tense and vigilant, constantly observing their surroundings.
At this moment, Yan Bing calmly said, "They've already escaped."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
A look of horror flashed in Osiris's eyes: "Lord Yanbing, what is that?"
Yan Bing calmly replied, "Darkness itself."
Everyone was taken aback: "Darkness itself?? What is that?"
Yan Bing shook his head: "They are darkness itself, only they have developed self-awareness."
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
Has darkness developed self-awareness?
They were not unfamiliar with the night; the darkness within it was equally intense.
If darkness could have self-awareness, wouldn't even the night be alive?
Seeing the shocked looks on everyone's faces, Yan Bing said, "I don't know what's in the depths of this darkness, but it's very dangerous. I suspect there might be a dark being close to the level of an evil god."
Osiris and the others looked at each other, feeling their mouths dry.
They discovered that the dangers lurking in the fog were far greater than they had imagined.
