Chapter 142: Seizing the Abode
Shi Yan's heart sank, and he secretly cursed his bad luck.
If it were just the Tianchi Sacred Land's people, as long as Xia Xinyan uses her reincarnation martial soul, there would be no need to fear.
However, with the arrival of the three forces of Lingbao Dongtian, Gujia and Dongfangjia, Xia Xinyan would probably not get any benefits even if she had deployed her Reincarnation Martial Soul.
The Garo Sea Domain where the Yang and Xia families are located, as well as the Black Water Sea Domain of the Tianchi Sacred Land and the Lingbao Cave Heaven, including the Gu and Dongfang families' Yanluo Sea Domain, are not harmonious. As long as the two do not reveal their identities, they will be fine, but once their identities are exposed, without a powerful expert by their side, the probability of death is even greater.
Chen Duo and Dongfang Que fell down together, Shi Yan knew that this time they were likely to be forced into a desperate situation.
Indeed.
"What's going on?" Dongfang Qiang couldn't help but sneer, "You two, if you don't want to die, immediately go and check the situation. Otherwise, I'll take your lives right now! Hmm, I won't kill the woman for now, but I'll make her wish she were dead. You two, do you understand my meaning?"
Dongfang Kong looked at Shi Yan and Xia Xinyan with a cold gaze, his eyes fixed heavily on Xia Xinyan, a hint of lust flashing in his pupils.
Shi Yan's face was gloomy, and he hated the old man to the bone, especially when the old man fell into Xia Xinyan's beautiful eyes, which made Shi Yan want to crush him to dust.
Gu Jian Ge didn't say a word, shook his head and sighed, with a helpless expression on his face. However, his eyes also had a hint of slyness, secretly lingering on Xia Xinyan's body.
"Don't waste any more time." Chen Dang furrowed his brow and said in a deep voice, "I'll count to three. After the third shout, the man will die, and the woman... will wish she were dead!"
"We're going." Xia Xinyan lowered her head, tugged at the hem of Shiyue's clothes, and dragged him towards the place where the glacier first appeared.
Shi Yan's face was calm and he didn't say a word, also lowering his head, following her as they walked towards the glacier.
Dongfang Kong and others, with sinister gazes staring at the backs of the two, their eyes venomous, their mouths curled in cold sneers. If Shi Yan and the other showed even a hint of non-cooperation, these people would not hesitate to take action, immediately beheading Shi Yan and the other.
The four major forces suffered heavy losses, especially the Lingbao Cave Heaven and the Eastern Family. Many warriors were frozen to death, and on the outer ships, the high-ranking members of both families didn't even have time to dodge before being torn into powder by the Xuanbing Beast.
At this time, these few people were suppressing a bellyful of anger in their hearts. If it weren't for the fact that Shi Yan and the others still had some use value, they would likely have been settled on the spot by Dongfang Que.
The closer you get to the glacier, the colder the surrounding temperature becomes, chilling to the bone.
The glacier that was once visible has disappeared.
In that area, a huge cave appeared, with cold air and frost inside, surrounded by strands of icy white fog.
Meanwhile, the faint glimmer of ice crystals can be seen.
"Crack!"
Xia Xinyan's silver teeth chattered out a clear sound, her beautiful hair appeared with frost, and in her movements, she continuously stimulated the essence within her body to resist the icy cold air coming from that cave.
Looking back at Shi Yan, he didn't seem to be affected much, only his body's hundred calamities boundary was slightly stiffened, but he didn't feel his body being too rigid.
"You, you seem to be able to adapt to the cold air here?" Xia Xinyan gritted her teeth and glanced at Shi Yan, her beautiful eyes full of surprise.
"Earlier when I was cultivating, I accidentally absorbed a portion of cold air. That cold air merged into my body. Here, I really haven't felt it's too icy." Shi Yan nodded.
Xia Xinyan was stunned, her expression complex. "Your body absorbed the cold air, how can you still move freely? You should be stiff like everyone else, frozen into an ice sculpture."
"I don't know either." Shi Yan hesitated for a moment, saying: "The cultivation method I practice is quite unusual. Although it comes with great pain and danger, it indeed has many mysterious aspects, which is also the reason why I have always found it hard to give up."
Xia Xinyan nodded lightly and let out a sigh in her heart, without saying anything more.
"Sooner or later, I'll make them pay a bloody price!" Shi Yan said with a gloomy face.
"We'll get through this, and there will be a chance to deal with them later. Don't worry, we're almost at the entrance of that cave, I'll immediately activate my Wheel Return Martial Soul and take you away from here. As long as we keep some distance from them, it shouldn't be a problem for me to get us out of here." Xia Xinyan cautioned.
Yan nodded and turned back to gaze at Chen Jie and Dongfang Xuan's group two thousand meters away, his eyes cold and stern.
Two thousand meters apart, as long as Xia Xinyan suddenly activated her Wheel of Reincarnation martial soul, those people would definitely not be able to react in time. This was also the reason why Xia Xinyan didn't make a move on the spot and instead chose to take a risk and come this way.
The cave entrance is shrouded in cold air, with white mist swirling around it.
Dozens of meters away, Xia Xinyan was already trembling with fear, her silver teeth chattering loudly, but Shi Yan seemed to be unaffected.
"I just took a glance, just one glance, and I'll come over." Shi Yan stood beside the cave, staring in the direction of the cave, suddenly speaking out.
For some reason, the closer he got to the cave, the more comfortable the stone felt.
For others, the cold air that penetrates to the bone does not make him feel uncomfortable, but rather makes his body produce a cool and pleasant feeling.
Especially the cold air emanating from the cave made Shi Yan's mind clear and his body was not affected too much.
The chill in the cave overflowed, slowly drifting to one side. Some of the chill floated and drifted, falling onto this piece of rock. The rock was icy cold with fresh blood, yet it gave off a very comfortable feeling.
It seemed as if the fresh blood in his body was extremely fond of the cold air here.
Shi Yan was shocked and hesitated for a moment before attempting to urge the Second Sky of Rampage, merging the strands of negative energy within his body into his blood.
Unexpectedly, a large amount of cold air suddenly flew out from the cave, and those cold airs came without warning, as if they were attracted by the rocks, and rushed out from the cave, directly towards the rock cover.
"Stone Rock!" Xia Xinyan exclaimed, her eyes full of panic, "The cold air is too heavy, I can barely hold on!"
"You take a step back, I'll take a few steps forward," Shi Yan didn't hesitate at all and suddenly stepped into the cave.
With every step he took, the chill on his body grew heavier by a degree, and the cold air from the cave rushed towards him even faster.
Xia Xinyan was stunned.
The chill in front, the intense cold that even a warrior of her status couldn't withstand, yet Shiyue was not only unscathed but also gathering the cold air, leaving her at a loss as to whether she should urge him to leave this place quickly.
"Wait a minute," Shi Yan walked step by step towards the cave, his expression becoming increasingly solemn, and said in a low voice: "Stay away from me, don't get close to me!"
A massive amount of cold air, as if rolling smoke and lightning, continuously poured out from the cave and frantically injected into Shi Yan's body.
At this point, a burst of crystal clear light suddenly emanated from the cave, and an extremely strange life aura suddenly covered everything from inside the cave.
Xia Xinyan was shocked and shouted: "Shi Yan quickly retreat! Xuan Bing's cold flames have shown signs of activity! Hurry up and leave!"
Yuan Chu's face changed suddenly, his body abruptly rose into the air, and he stared in astonishment at Shi Yan walking step by step towards the cave.
The old man from the Eastern family also went up to the sky and looked into the distance, saying to Dongfang Jing and Gujian Ge below: "That kid is heading towards the cave. A large amount of cold air is emanating from within the cave, but that kid seems to be fine, his body even appears to be absorbing the cold air." "Absorbing cold air!" Dongfang Jing exclaimed in surprise. "You're not mistaken? The cold air released by Xuan Bing's Frost Flame is piercingly cold, even I couldn't withstand it. That kid should have been frozen into an ice sculpture long ago, how can he still be moving?"
"His body is indeed absorbing the cold air!" Chen Du took a deep breath, his face filled with a strange expression: "This phenomenon...this phenomenon..." What? Gu Jian Ge, Qu Ting Qing and others looked at him in unison, exclaiming.
"The Xuanbing Cold Flame has chosen him as its vessel, and it will likely seize his body," Chen Shi's expression changed rapidly as he spoke urgently: "The Xuanbing Cold Flame is just a flame in shape, although it has life consciousness, it doesn't have a physical body. A heavenly fire without a physical body can be easily controlled, sealed, and suppressed. But once the heavenly fire obtains a suitable vessel, its life consciousness will seize the soul of the vessel, and it will be able to exhibit more divine abilities, just like a warrior. Moreover, it will be able to launch a soul attack!"
"How is that person possible to become the object of seizure?" Zhai Yanqing exclaimed, "Isn't it only those who possess the Xuanbing body's martial soul that can be considered as objects for seizure by the Xuanbing Cold Flame? Ordinary people can't withstand the cold energy of the Xuanbing Cold Flame at all. Once they come into contact with it, they will be frozen to death and cannot be seized."
I don't know either, Chen Dong shook his head. If the Xuanbing Cold Flame successfully seizes a vessel and obtains a physical body, even a warrior in the Endless Sea God Realm might not be able to subdue it. If that's really the case, we won't just be wasting our efforts, none of us will be able to escape this place! We must kill him!
Dongfang Kong immediately understood Chen Dong's meaning. Take action! Since the Xuanbing Cold Flame has chosen him as its object for seizure, it must know that he can withstand the cold energy. Just now, you all said that the young man's body can absorb cold energy, so this is definitely true!
"Uh-huh, we must kill him immediately!" Chen Dong nodded, and a small silver hammer flew out from his sleeve. Amidst the rumbling thunder, the hammer fiercely struck the stone wall at the entrance of the cave.
On this side, Dongfang Que and his group of people almost didn't hesitate at all, and they all displayed their own powers.
Gulei Ge no longer continued to pretend at this time, and with a soft drink, the dragon-slaying sword flew out from his neck, and the Huoli Yao Shou appeared, transforming into a hundred-meter-long fire dragon, which pounced on Shi Yan with its teeth and claws.
"Shi Yan! Come back quickly!" Xia Xinyan suddenly shrieked, her voice even trembling with a hint of tears, "Come back! I remembered! You're not afraid of the cold energy, you're actually the perfect vessel for it to possess, the Mystic Ice Flame is going to possess you!!" Shi Yan, who was still enjoying the influx of cold energy, finally realized something was off when he heard Xia Xinyan's frantic cry.
He was about to leave when he suddenly felt a surge of cold air inside his body, and a massive consciousness in the cave, like a wolf, poured out and wrapped him in an intense and unparalleled chill.
That one consciousness was extremely cold and evil, suddenly appearing, immediately rushing to his brain sea, with the intention of occupying his soul from the beginning.
In the distance, waves of attacks from the four major forces came one after another, with continuous raids.
The stone cliff's brain was in unbearable pain, holding his head and roaring, with red eyes, he violently shouted: "You go first! Don't care about me!" After speaking, the stone cliff used up all his remaining strength, and suddenly fell backwards, his body plummeting straight into the bottomless pit.
As soon as the stone giant entered the cave, the cold air at the entrance of the cave quickly wrapped around him, and lightning-like ice formed a thick layer of solid ice. The solid ice seemed like a huge gate, blocking the entrance of the cave, completely sealing it off.
"No!" Xia Xinyan shrieked.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The various offensives of the four major forces came down mercilessly, striking the entrance of the cave, but found it difficult to shatter the cave.
Chen Duo and his men, with cold faces, rushed over quickly from a distance.
Xia Xinyan gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with hatred, and suddenly unleashed the Wheel of Rebirth martial soul, flying straight into the sky.
Xia Xinyan's figure quickly flew out of the island, but her voice full of resentment and poison still echoed far away: "You killed him, you just wait for revenge from the Yang family and Xia family!"
