Death Grip
“Ice Fire Divine Pearl?” The faces of Xueqing and the others showed confusion; they still did not sense the presence of any Ice Fire Divine Pearl.
“That's right, it’s right above where we first encountered the Ice and Fire Energy. As long as we collect the Ice Fire Divine Pearl, the Ice and Fire Energy in this cave will naturally dissipate,” Xing Chen nodded.
“Junior Brother, are you really sure?” Mo Feiyu asked Xing Chen, as he and Ouyang Zhenhai also did not feel the presence of any Ice Fire Divine Pearl.
“Of course I’m sure. Senior Brother, don’t worry, my instincts are never wrong,” Xing Chen replied confidently.
“In that case, we’ll accompany you. Fortunately, we haven’t gone too far; we can get there quickly,” Mo Feiyu said.
Then, the group turned and walked toward the exit, soon arriving at the place where they first encountered the Ice and Fire Energy.
“This is it, right?” Mo Feiyu glanced at Xing Chen again and asked.
“Exactly,” Xing Chen said as he suddenly struck upward with his palm. Instantly, a pitch-black claw, exuding a chilling aura, slammed violently against the rock wall above.
Boom!
A loud rumble echoed as the rock wall collapsed instantly, countless boulders crashing down. However, since Xing Chen and the others were experts among experts, how could these boulders harm them?
As the boulders fell, an ice-blue pearl appeared above; it was indeed the Ice Fire Divine Pearl, powerful enough to Frozen Ground and set fire to the sky.
“This is the Ice Fire Divine Pearl? But why does it only seem to have ice attributes?” Xueqing looked at the Ice Fire Divine Pearl with slight confusion.
Just as Xueqing finished speaking, the ice-blue divine pearl suddenly transformed into a fiery red color, causing the surrounding temperature to rise exponentially in an instant.
“What is this…” Xing Chen’s pupils slightly constricted as he slowly said: “So it turns out that the Ice Fire Divine Pearl can change between ice and fire attributes at any time.”
“Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, hurry and collect it! This ice-fire spirit pearl is perfect for you,” Xing Chen smiled and said.
Since Mo Feiyu and his companion treated him well, Xing Chen decided to use this Ice Fire Divine Pearl to repay them.
"Junior Brother, this Ice Fire Divine Pearl is the treasure you found. It seems a bit inappropriate for us to take it!" Mo Feiyu said, scratching his head awkwardly.
"Since Junior Brother wants you to take it, then go ahead! After all, this is Junior Brother's heartfelt intention!" Xueqing said with a light smile.
"Alright, since Xueqing Junior Sister has said so, then we will accept this Ice Fire Divine Pearl!" Mo Feiyu nodded and exchanged a glance with Ouyang Zhenhai, then suddenly reached out to grasp the Ice Fire Divine Pearl in the air while shouting, "Receive!"
"Whoosh!"
As their voices fell, the Ice Fire Divine Pearl instantly transformed into two beams of light, one red and one blue, which entered the bodies of Mo Feiyu and Ouyang Zhenhai respectively.
"What just happened? How did the Ice Fire Divine Pearl suddenly split into two?" Xing Chen asked in confusion, as he had clearly seen the Ice Fire Divine Pearl transform into a red and blue beam of light that shot into the bodies of Mo Feiyu and the other.
"Haha, having this Fire God Pearl is like adding wings to a tiger! The power of my Sun God Arrow will definitely be even greater from now on." Mo Feiyu laughed heartily. Just now, when the Ice Fire Divine Pearl split into two, it became the Water God Pearl and the Fire God Pearl. At this moment, what was within Mo Feiyu was the Fire God Pearl, which would surely enhance the power of his Sun God Arrow.
"Hehe, with this Water God Pearl, my Water Gun will also become much more powerful." Ouyang Zhenhai chuckled as well.
"You two have both become stronger; shouldn't you thank the person who made you stronger?" Xueqing reminded as she looked at the two proud Rascals.
"Uh, uh, you're right, Xueqing Junior Sister. We really must thank Xing Chen Junior Brother. If it weren't for you, we might never have discovered the location of the Ice Fire Divine Pearl." Mo Feiyu quickly replied.
"That's right, Xing Chen Junior Brother. Thank you so much this time. If anyone bullies you in the future, just come to me. I will definitely make sure that person won't even be recognized by their own mother." Ouyang Zhenhai declared boldly.
"You two Senior Brothers are too polite. Now let's continue on; there shouldn't be any more occurrences of Ice and Fire Energy." Xing Chen said.
"Okay, let's hurry! The deepest part of the cave is a paradise on earth; not only is it incredibly beautiful, but it also contains countless treasures. Once we get there, I believe you will be amazed." Mo Feiyu said.
Then everyone continued deeper into the cave without stopping, and indeed they did not encounter any more impacts from the Ice and Fire Energy, smoothly reaching the deepest part of the cave.
Upon arriving here, what came into view nearly dropped Xing Chen and the others' jaws. Before them lay an expanse of Ice and Snow Plains, filled with countless sources of Ice and Fire Energy. The energy absorbed by the Ice Fire Divine Pearl came from here.
Some Exotic Flowers and Fruits were completely encased in hard ice blocks, while some even showed no signs of being scorched or destroyed despite being in an endless Fire Sea.
At the junction of the Ice and Fire Energy, there were some unusually tall trees, bearing strange fruits known as the Ice Fire Spirit Fruit.
"Is that the Ice Fire Spirit Fruit?" Xing Chen's gaze flickered slightly.
"Yes, that's the Ice Fire Spirit Fruit. However, to cross this icy plain, we still need to use the Master Brother's Sun God Arrow," Ouyang Zhenhai nodded and then looked at Mo Feiyu.
"Hehe, just watch me! With the Fire God Pearl, I can pierce through the entire Ice and Snow Plains with one arrow," Mo Feiyu said, placing his fingers on the string of the Sun God Bow. The Sun God Arrow instantly appeared, and as Mo Feiyu released his fingers, the Sun God Arrow transformed into a Blazing Dragon Soul, charging toward the Ice and Snow Plains.
"Quick, everyone follow behind the Blazing Dragon Soul and absorb its powerful heat to avoid the icy turbulence here," Mo Feiyu said, moving swiftly to keep up with the Blazing Dragon Soul.
Although Xing Chen and the others were a step behind, they did not fall too far behind and closely followed the Purple Dragon Soul.
"Child, do not release your Soul Power casually to probe around; the temperature here is extremely low. If you carelessly release your Soul Power, it could freeze your very soul," Hate Emperor warned just as Xing Chen was about to release his Soul Power to check his surroundings.
"Is it really that severe?" A look of disbelief appeared on Xing Chen's face.
"Do not doubt my words. The extreme cold here and the intense heat from the Fire Sea can both cause serious harm to your soul. So do not pry too easily," Hate Emperor advised.
"Alright, I understand. I won't probe carelessly," Xing Chen nodded in agreement.
At this moment, everyone had arrived at the junction of the icy plain and Fire Sea, which was also the only relatively normal place. After all, the extreme cold of the icy plain and the extreme heat of the Fire Sea collided here and canceled each other out, making it a slightly suitable place for cultivation.
"Alright, it's safe here now. Everyone quickly pick some Ice Fire Spirit Fruits! Last time, Ouyang Shidi and I could only watch helplessly as these Ice Fire Spirit Fruits were out of our reach. It really frustrated us. But now we can take them all!" Mo Feiyu laughed.
"Haha, that's right! These Ice Fire Spirit Fruits are all ours now," Ouyang Zhenhai also laughed heartily.
"I only need one Ice Fire Spirit Fruit," Xing Chen said as he reached out into the void. Instantly, an Ice Fire Spirit Fruit was grasped in his hand. He had reached a critical point in Gaze of Life; with just one Ice Fire Spirit Fruit, he could completely break through his own realm and reach Glimpse of Objects. As for the others, he didn't mind letting Xueqing and the others take them; after all, he wouldn't need that many.
"Junior Brother, are you going to break through here?" Xueqing glanced at Xing Chen.
"That's right, Senior Sister. This place is perfect for a breakthrough. Under the dual pressure of Ice and Fire Energy, I can quickly refine the medicinal power of the Ice Fire Spirit Fruit and stabilize my realm in an instant without needing extra time for consolidation," Xing Chen smiled as he explained.
"Just in time, I am also about to break through to the Peak of Fate Observation Realm. I'll break through here," Xueqing said with a smile, then sat cross-legged on the ground and swallowed the Ice Fire Spirit Fruit in her hand.
"I also want to break through here; I want to reach Gaze of Fate." Snow also swallowed an Ice Fire Spirit Fruit, sat cross-legged, and began to challenge the bottleneck of Gaze of Fate.
"Senior Brother, they have already started breaking through. What should we do? Should we also try to break through to the Peak of Fate Observation Realm?" Ouyang Zhenhai glanced at Mo Feiyu and asked.
"Come on, we just broke through about half a month ago. Do you really think it's possible for you to break through again?" Mo Feiyu replied, looking at Ouyang Zhenhai.
"It does seem unlikely. Forget it; let's help them as Guardians! Although there shouldn't be any danger here, it's better to keep an eye on them just in case!" Ouyang Zhenhai said with a wry smile.
At this moment, Xing Chen was also striving hard to break through his bottleneck, trying to move from Gaze of Life to Glimpse of Objects. It was quite difficult; even though he had reached the critical point of Gaze of Life, breaking through to Glimpse of Objects was not easy.
After countless attempts, the bottleneck finally began to loosen.
"Boom boom boom..." At the same time, as he struck the bottleneck, a rumbling sound echoed continuously in his mind.
"I'm so close! Just a little more and I can break through to Glimpse of Objects! Break for me!" Xing Chen shouted, while the Demonic Aura within him surged like a tide, constantly crashing against the bottleneck that was obstructing his breakthrough.
Finally, under Xing Chen's relentless assault, the bottleneck began to loosen.
