"It's a deal."
Before Long Chen could respond, Huo Ling'er suddenly came out. She was a little afraid of the woman in white, but also full of anticipation.
"You and I are both spirits of flame; know that I will never lie." The woman in white looked at Huo Ling'er and said.
"Good."
Huo Ling'er suddenly transformed into a dragon of flames, coiling around the woman in white, then merging into her body. In that instant, Huo Ling'er lost contact with Long Chen.
Long Chen's heart skipped a beat. His soul was connected to Huo Ling'er, and he lost all sense of her. For some reason, he felt a bit uneasy, afraid something might happen to her.
"Hold me,"
the woman in white suddenly looked at Long Chen, her face cold and indifferent.
"Huh?" Long Chen was taken aback.
"Hurry up," the woman in white frowned.
"Alright."
Although the woman in white was stunningly beautiful, she was the spirit of flames, so holding her was no big deal. Long Chen opened his arms and embraced her.
"Carry me from behind."
Long Chen had just embraced the woman in white when she immediately frowned and said.
"Oh, oh!"
Long Chen hurriedly hugged the woman in white from behind. But after he finally caught her, not only did he not feel the fragrant jade filling his arms, but instead he shivered. The bone-chilling cold and terrifying heat surged through his body, alternating between hot and cold, and Long Chen nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.
The woman in white looked up at the powerful figures above, her eyes filled with murderous intent:
"For billions of years, you have inflicted pain and humiliation upon me. I will never forget. Today, I want to reclaim some interest."
"Buzz!"
The woman in white formed hand seals with her jade-like hand. Suddenly, the glacier beneath her feet exploded, and the disciples who had fled within the barrier were swept away by the terrifying power and turned to dust.
Only those Supreme-level experts barely held on, but they were still sent flying far away, staring at the woman in white in terror.
The glacier shattered, and endless white light within the barrier gathered toward the woman in white. At that moment, the three Divine Sovereign Realm experts above the barrier turned pale. They were horrified to discover that the formation had failed, and the life fire of those dead prodigies not only failed to dilute the woman's power but was absorbed by her.
"It's the power of Yanxu."
When Long Chen saw the glacier shatter, countless black spots appeared in the world. It was these spots that absorbed the life fire of those people.
"The Great Dao is ruthless, cause and effect flow. In the name of my Ice Soul, I command all laws; with my Ice Soul Soul, I will destroy heaven and earth. The Ice Soul Divine Sword condenses!"
With the woman's murmurs, the endless white light between heaven and earth condensed into a single sword.
The long sword stretched for a hundred li, its entire body like cold jade, its tip pointing at the powerful warriors above the barrier. At that moment, the three Divine Sovereign Realm experts' faces changed dramatically.
"Escape"—
the three Divine Sovereign realm experts vanished instantly.
"Boom!"
Just as they vanished, the snow-white longsword pierced through the barrier and exploded among hundreds of thousands of powerful warriors.
"Puff puff puff... The
ice and snow divine sword shattered, sending out a white ripple. Any powerful being covered by the ripple was shattered one after another, as if some kind of power within them had been detonated, leaving them with no strength left to resist.
Except for those three Divine Venerable-level experts, hundreds of thousands of Saint Pill Hall experts were all wiped out. The barrier covering the sky also crumbled, scattering into endless fragments.
At the same time, the surrounding soaring fire pillars also stopped erupting. It turned out these pillars were part of controlling the Ice Soul formation.
Snowflakes and ice fell everywhere, each snowflake burning fiercely. The laws of heaven began to fall into chaos. Long Chen held the woman in white, hiding behind her, yet he too endured the terrifying power. In the alternation of cold and heat, it was as if an invisible giant hand had twisted his body hard, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood. The power of the Ice Soul was simply terrifying.
And this was the Ice Soul, already exhausted and faltering. Long Chen couldn't imagine how powerful the Ice Soul was at its peak—no wonder it ranked above the Rainbow Fairy.
After the white-clad woman's strike, her aura rapidly declined, and her body began to become semi-transparent. Clearly, although she had enjoyed this strike, it came at a tremendous cost.
"I'm exhausted. Help me dig out the foundation stones from the underground formation." After the woman in white finished speaking, her body slowly disappeared, and at the same time, Huo Ling'er appeared, her aura even appearing on her.
At this moment, Huo Ling'er's aura was also extremely weak. As soon as she appeared, she immediately returned to Long Chen's chaotic space to recuperate.
"Damn, that's it? I thought you would take me away. Long Chen was stunned. Isn't this just playing?
"Death!"
Suddenly, the void exploded, and a burly man with red hair tore through the air, wielding a flaming spear aimed straight at Long Chen's forehead.
At that moment, a massive creature appeared behind Long Chen, its sharp claws whistling as it grabbed down at his back. It was the red-haired man's mount, the Fire-Eyed Qilin.
The aura of the Flame Qilin was terrifying, even more formidable than some supreme-level prodigies. Man and beast, one in front and one behind, worked together seamlessly, sealing off all of Long Chen's escape routes.
"When I have time, I'll kill you."
Long Chen snorted coldly, then suddenly flickered his figure and rapidly sank downward. A large hole formed beneath his feet, and he plunged straight underground.
"Buzz!"
The red-haired man and the flame qilin brushed past each other, and at such close range, they didn't collide.
The red-haired man missed the air, his figure flickering as he chased after Long Chen, with his Flame Qilin closely following.
"Step back and hand that person over to me."
Suddenly, three figures appeared in the sky. They were the three Divine Venerable-level experts who had fled when they saw the situation was unfavorable. At this moment, the faces of these three Divine Sovereigns were extremely grim. Although they had escaped a disaster, all their subordinates were dead.
What shocked them most was that, out of forty million disciples, only a few hundred Supreme-level disciples survived—a responsibility they could not bear.
Compared to human death, what they feared most was that Bing Po had broken free from her restraints. If she escaped, everything would be over.
The three of them returned immediately, determined to capture Long Chen and reclaim the Ice Soul. Seeing the red-haired man chasing Long Chen, they immediately ordered him to leave. They wanted to deal with Long Chen personally and dared not be careless.
But the red-haired man was extremely proud and completely ignored them, charging straight at Long Chen.
"This person's life is mine. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility myself." The red-haired man replied coldly.
"You..."
The white-bearded elder was both shocked and furious, but helpless. Because the red-haired man had a special status, even though he was the master of the Sacred Pill Hall within the Three Thousand Worlds, he didn't dare to order him forcibly, since the man was a disciple of the god of faith in the Sacred Pill Hall.
Like the Blood Slaughter Hall and the Nine Nether Hall, the Saint Pill Hall has many branch halls and many hall masters below, but there is only one God of Faith—they are the supreme authority, and their disciples also hold absolute power.
Seeing they couldn't command the red-haired man, the three could only split up and seal off the area to prevent Long Chen from escaping.
At this moment, the few hundred remaining Supreme prodigies on the glacier had already rushed underground. The Ice Soul divine might had vanished, and all their fury was directed at Long Chen.
Long Chen heard the voices of three Divine Venerable-level experts and secretly cursed in his heart. This woman in white was truly a scam—not only did she refuse to take him out, she even gave him a mission. So tricky.
Long Chen rushed underground and discovered that ten thousand li underground, there was a massive formation disk. The formation disk resembled a chessboard, with countless enormous divine stones placed on it, radiating terrifying flames from the stones.
"This should be the cornerstone. Take it for me."
With a sharp shout, Long Chen cast out a massive net of thunder, enveloping all the stones.
