Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

"Hurry up!"

He Ying's face changed, he waved his sleeve, and his whole body was wrapped in a mass of gray light, rolling up streams of airflow as he flew swiftly towards Boiling Spring Valley.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng turned into a sword rainbow, closely following behind. Bao Yu'er also stepped on a pink handkerchief, rising off the ground, and swiftly chased through the air.

A distance of thirty li flashed by in an instant.

Just as the three were about to reach the edge of Boiling Spring Valley, He Ying's shrill shout suddenly echoed, "Dodge!"

Dodge, dodge!

In that instant, Zhao Sheng felt a chill descend upon his head, bone-chilling cold, freezing his scalp numb.

Danger! Extreme danger!

Zhao Sheng fiercely spat out a mouthful of essence blood, which instantly turned into a mist of blood that wrapped around him.

The next moment, he suddenly transformed into a beam of blood light, escaping towards the horizon with unbelievable speed.

In just a moment, he had escaped ten li away. Explore more stories with empire

The blood light dispersed, Zhao Sheng staggered a step before steadying his body again and then he looked towards Boiling Spring Valley with a pale face.

Before his eyes, the ten li of Boiling Spring Valley were now a vast expanse of white. The originally steaming cloud mist had been completely wiped out, all the water vapor had solidified into ice scraps, and the boiling spring eyes in the valley had all frozen into various shapes of ice bubbles and ice ponds.

The valley was covered with ice pillars and ice cones of varying thickness, densely standing like a forest of ice crystals.

This astonishing scene made Zhao Sheng involuntarily hold his breath, his lips drying out.

"Hum!"

Just then, a wave of Divine Thought, substantial as reality, descended from the sky, sweeping across the surroundings.

The air suddenly felt as if it had been washed over with water, not a speck of dust remained, all minor floating particles were suppressed by a formless yet dense telekinesis.

Zhao Sheng's heart shook violently. He had never seen such a powerful Divine Thought before, It must belong to a Golden Core Master or someone even more powerful.

In just a few breaths, a person appeared out of thin air in the air, bringing an intense chill. The temperature around rapidly decreased, the already dim environment grew even darker, countless ice particles fell rustling through the air, and a cold and eerie aura filled the surroundings, plunging one into a nightmarish hell.

Sweat had just appeared on Zhao Sheng's forehead when it froze into a thin layer of ice.

He slightly raised his head and saw the newcomer dressed in a five-clawed black dragon robe, wearing a five-colored crown with twelve jeweled treasure beads, each emitting a faint divine light, each bead containing a powerful Divine Power and Treasure Technique.

Zhao Sheng's heart trembled, instantly realizing he had seen what he shouldn't have and immediately lowered his head.

Mo Wen Dao didn't even notice the ant under his feet.

He looked around the world, the cold gleam in his pupils flowing slowly like icebergs moving in his eyes.

As his mind moved, the surface of the earth beneath his feet cracked like a spider web, ice cones grew from the cracks, and a large expanse of silver-white frost rapidly spread in all directions, covering the original landscape under a thick layer of frost. The few plants that had managed to grow here, too, were frozen into ice sculptures.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Hmph, you can't escape!"

After murmuring softly, Mo Wen Dao's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Feeling relieved, Zhao Sheng quickly fled from the location.

Later, Zhao Sheng returned to Boiling Spring Valley, just in time to see Old Man He emerging from underground.

At that moment, his body was covered in frost, shivering intensely.

Zhao Sheng was eager to know, who had caused such a "big scene" and why an "Emperor" would appear here?

Of course, he would not ask too directly.

He hesitantly asked, probing indirectly, "Whose grand move is this?"

He Ying shook his head with hesitation, "I don't know either! But such a large commotion could only be the work of a heavy treasure or a Nascent Soul."

Zhao Sheng's heart skipped a beat, "The Mo Clan has only one Nascent Soul Ancestor, could it be that ancestor who has made a move!"

This was giving too much credit to the Zhou family!

The two waited a while but saw no sign of Bao Yu'er, causing He Ying's expression to turn somewhat ugly.

Zhao Sheng tentatively said, "How about we wait a little longer,"

He Ying waved his hand decisively, "No need, the mission is crucial! Let's go and meet the Wuxiang Monk first. Bao Yu won't die so easily, something must have delayed her."

Saying this, He Ying took the lead and dashed into Boiling Spring Valley, heading towards a cave in the southwest of the valley, and Zhao Sheng shook his head and followed.

Boiling Spring Valley had been managed by the Zhou family for a thousand years, the underground had long been excavated into countless tunnels, connecting layers of underground buildings—stone rooms, palaces, warehouses, storage rooms, and so on, resembling a massive underground city.

But this city was extremely sparse in terms of people, Zhao Sheng and He Ying searched three layers and were surprised to find all the buildings empty, not a single person around.

It was as if the Zhou family had been prepared all along.

As they ventured deeper underground, Zhao Sheng noticed the temperature rising, and a faint smell of sulfur began to appear in the air.

A while later, the two had gone nearly a hundred feet deep, where man-made structures became less frequent and rough earthen and stone surroundings became more common.

Walking down a recently opened passage, Zhao Sheng suddenly heard a faint scream,

Oh!

Upon hearing the scream, He Ying's expression changed.

The recent scream, all too familiar, was from the Water Element Envoy, Wuxiang Monk; its sharpness and poignant nature, despite being muffled by thick layers of earth and stone, were unmistakable.

"This is bad!"

Before he had finished speaking, a violent tremor suddenly shook the ground beneath their feet. Numerous cracks fissured through the surrounding stone walls.

Following this, was a deep rumbling like thunder, sweeping under their feet as though a raging river was flowing through.

The temperature was rising rapidly!

Zhao Sheng furrowed his brows, listened carefully, and realized that beneath his feet there were countless booming sounds strung together continuously, like waves of a great river's surge.

Upon closer inspection, the successive shockwaves seemed to escalate one after another, causing tremendous damage to the geological tunnels; within mere moments, Zhao Sheng felt the ground beneath becoming soft and crumbly, filled with cracks, while tunnels in all directions were collapsing countless times over.

No one needed to tell him what had happened just now.

A Golden Core True Immortal was engaged in fierce battle, and it was not just a probing attack but a life-and-death struggle.

The Wuxiang Monk, it seemed, had been killed unclearly due to being affected by the battle of the Golden Core True Immortal.

Zhao Sheng was shocked, "How did the fight reach underground and so close at that?"

The immense pressure caused by the battle between the Golden Core True Immortals, said to be immeasurably heavy, was intensified by their dense and complex Divine Thoughts clashing; the nature's spiritual energy within a fifteen-mile radius transforming void into reality, creating a deadly severe distortion, was truly unavoidable and undefendable.

The situation became dire in an instant, during such times, Old Man He spoke concisely, "Retreat, five miles!"

He Ying, being an Earth Element Cultivator, held a geographical advantage, better grasping the extent of the impact from the battle between the two Golden Core True Immortals.

As Zhao Sheng fled, he muttered, "Five miles, might still not be enough, perhaps running far away would be better."

But soon, Zhao Sheng understood that in terms of dealing with a battle between True Immortals, he was far less experienced than Old Man He.
