Death Grip
“Yu Zhengyang, are you cursing our Palace Master?” Qin Junhao's eyes revealed a hint of coldness as he looked at Yu Zhengyang with an icy glare.
“What? You, a mere Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm cultivator, think you can challenge me?” Yu Zhengyang scoffed at him.
“Heh heh, Yu Zhengyang, keep boasting while you can. Once our Palace Master breaks through to the Second Level of Life Insight, Gaze of Life, that will be your end.” Suddenly, Qin Junhao started to laugh, no longer angry.
“Enough with the nonsense. Let’s quickly get these people into the Ice and Snow Secret Realm; otherwise, the treasures inside will be swept away by them from Jinglong Hall and other forces.”
At this moment, an elder from the Nine Heavens Imperial Palace spoke up.
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Jue and the others jumped into the Ice and Snow Vortex, while Xing Chen, who had been watching them closely, also flickered and entered the Ice and Snow Vortex.
“If there’s a chance, go to the far north of the ice field and retrieve that Divine Rank treasure.” The moment Xing Chen entered the Ice and Snow Vortex, he transmitted this message to Meng Xiner.
The Lei Family disciples also followed suit and jumped into the Ice and Snow Vortex.
“Yu Men Master, where are your Ice Snow Sect disciples? Surely not a single one came?” Liu Han mocked.
“My Ice Snow Sect disciples have long since entered the Ice and Snow Secret Realm. It’s just that your efficiency is too slow. I was bored waiting here, so I went out for a stroll and happened to run into both of your families,” Yu Zhengyang replied with a slight smile.
“You…” Liu Han opened his mouth as if to say something but swallowed his words. After all, there was nothing wrong with what Yu Zhengyang did. Even if there were issues on the other side, it was not something he could teach.
At this moment, Xing Chen and the others had already entered the Ice and Snow Secret Realm. Before them lay a vast expanse of white ice field that seemed endless, almost indistinguishable from the outside world. The surrounding blizzards had also become more fierce.
Xing Chen glanced around but did not see anyone else present. It appeared that everyone had been teleported to different locations upon entering the vortex.
"It seems this is the so-called Ice and Snow Secret Realm, but it's too desolate here; it's nothing but ice and snow, with absolutely nothing else around, let alone any treasures," Xing Chen muttered.
"You're mistaken. Some treasures can only be nurtured in such places, and most importantly, under this extreme cold environment, it is even possible to give birth to a powerful cold attribute Divine Weapon," Hate Emperor said slowly.
"A cold attribute Divine Weapon? The powerful cold attribute treasure you just mentioned can't possibly be here, right?" Xing Chen asked with a skeptical expression.
"Of course not. The Ice and Snow Plains and this Ice and Snow Secret Realm are completely different places; how could they be confused?" Hate Emperor replied.
"That's a relief; otherwise, wouldn't Meng Xiner have made a wasted trip..." Xing Chen thought to himself.
"Oh, so you were asking for her sake. However, your concern is not unfounded; she might indeed make a wasted trip. After all, without my guidance, it would be very difficult for her to find that extreme cold treasure," Hate Emperor said with an understanding tone.
"Wait, it seems something is approaching." Suddenly, Xing Chen spoke up, looking down at the Ice Surface, which was slightly trembling at that moment.
"Woof woof woof..."
At that moment, a pack of wolf howls suddenly echoed, and then countless silver-gray wolves rushed towards Xing Chen. The Ice Surface shook violently with the running wolves.
"Damn it, it's the Icewind Wolf. How unlucky can I get?" Xing Chen said as he watched the approaching pack of wolves, his mouth twitching slightly. Among these wolves, the weakest were at the Yang Po First Level, while the strongest alpha wolf had reached Yang Po Sevenfold. With thousands of Icewind Wolves charging at once, even a strong practitioner of Gaze into the Self might not withstand it.
"Demon God Step!" Xing Chen stepped forward and instantly floated in mid-air. However, at that moment, he suddenly noticed someone fleeing rapidly in front of the wolf pack—it was Lei Ming from the Lei Family.
With his Yang Po First Level cultivation, being able to survive under the pursuit of so many Icewind Wolves was already quite remarkable.
"Brother Chen, help me!" Lei Ming shouted as he spotted the floating Xing Chen, urgently calling for help.
"Soul Devouring!" A strange light flashed in Xing Chen's eyes as he directed his gaze towards the wolf pack below. Those wolves that met his gaze immediately fell down one by one. In just an instant, Xing Chen had already killed over a hundred powerful Icewind Wolves, and all the souls absorbed naturally went to benefit Hate Emperor.
At this moment, Xing Chen's Soul Power can rival that of Gaze into the Self. Any Icewind Wolf below Yang Po Sixth Level will almost be instantly killed, and those above Yang Po Sixth Level won't last long either.
"Haha, so many souls! Although they are from beasts, they are still a tremendous help for me to recover my Soul Power. Quickly, consume more souls! I want to devour all of their souls. At this rate, I will soon recover to the power of Gaze of Fate's third realm, Glimpse of Objects," laughed Hate Emperor.
"How did you attract so many Icewind Wolf? Do you want to die?" Xing Chen grabbed Thunder and lifted him into the air, then spoke.
"This isn't my fault! As soon as I came out, I was surrounded by Icewind Wolf. In such a situation, I naturally had to escape quickly. As soon as I ran, these beasts chased after me. If it weren't for meeting you, I would have been devoured by wolves today," Thunder said with a look of grievance.
Suddenly—
At that moment, the pack of wolves below let out a fierce howl, and then icy blades shot towards Xing Chen and Thunder in an instant.
"Demon God Step, one step and all beings tremble!"
Seeing countless icy blades rushing towards him, Xing Chen quickly threw Thunder upwards. Then, his entire body surged with Demonic Aura, and he stomped down hard.
Boom!
Countless Demonic Aura instantly condensed. As Xing Chen stomped down, the entire space trembled slightly, and the incoming icy blades collided violently with his foot.
"Hate Demon Armor!" Xing Chen's expression changed slightly. Immediately, the demonic armor on his body took shape, with thousands of demons roaring in unison. The icy blades that were not blocked by Xing Chen shot towards the Hate Demon Armor.
Boom boom boom!
As these icy blades struck against Xing Chen's Hate Demon Armor, a series of explosive sounds erupted. His body was instantly frozen by this extreme cold power.
However, the black Demonic Flame flickering in his eyes showed no signs of extinguishing.
Bang!
Suddenly, a flash of brilliance appeared in his eyes, and the layer of ice covering him exploded instantly. Then, Ya stepped down hard again.
“Demon God Step, Second Step: Mountains and Rivers Shatter!”
As Xing Chen's second foot came down, rivers reversed their flow, and mountains collapsed. The ice layer below cracked open, creating a massive chasm thousands of meters long, causing countless Icewind Wolves to fall into the abyss.
“Ah—”
At that moment, Lei Ming screamed as he fell from above. Xing Chen caught him in time, preventing him from crashing down and turning into a meat paste.
“Huff huff... Brother Chen, next time you do that, at least give me a heads up! My heart almost stopped from the scare,” Lei Ming gasped, looking distressed.
“You, a powerful Yang Spirit Realm expert, would die from such a scare? That would be quite a spectacle,” Xing Chen replied lightly.
“Brother Chen, you are just too amazing! You took out over half of those Icewind Wolves with just one kick!” Lei Ming said in disbelief as he looked at the few remaining Icewind Wolves below.
“There are only a few Icewind Wolves left; you can handle them!” Xing Chen said slowly.
“Brother Chen, don’t joke around. With my strength, I’d just be taken out if I went down there. You should handle it; all you need to do is step lightly, and they’ll all run back home. It’s an easy task for you,” Lei Ming insisted.
“Alright then, fly again!” Xing Chen said as he exerted a bit of force with his arm and threw Lei Ming back into the air.
“Ah ah—don’t! Brother Chen…” Lei Ming screamed as he was thrown again while Xing Chen stepped forward once more.
Countless Demonic Auras gathered again. Then, with another step from Xing Chen, the Ice Surface below collapsed again, burying all the remaining Icewind Wolves under his foot.
"Wasting, wasting! So many souls have been squandered by you. If I could devour them, my Soul Power would definitely recover to Glimpse of Objects," the Hate Emperor sighed and shook his head.
At that moment, Thunder fell again, caught by Xing Chen.
"How does it feel to fly? Not bad, right?" Xing Chen asked Thunder.
"Brother Chen, you can't scare people like that. I almost died of fright just now," Thunder said, tears streaming down his face.
"Alright, enough of this useless talk. Do you know where the others are?" Xing Chen asked.
"I don't know. Ever since we entered the Ice and Snow Vortex, everyone has been teleported to different locations," Thunder shook his head. Although all the disciples from various factions were in the Ice and Snow Secret Realm, it was so vast that no one could know the exact locations of the others.
"If you don't know, then you don't know. We'll run into them sooner or later. For now, let's leave this place," Xing Chen said, swiftly moving forward.
"Brother Chen, slow down! I can't keep up!" Thunder shouted from behind.
