Chapter One Hundred Under the Sky

  Finally, she took a last look at the ice-encased city. Huan Yu let out a long sigh and said emotionally: "I've spent my whole life here, never thought that in the end I'd still have to leave."

  Su Dong trudged through the snow, not looking back: "Leaving is always leaving, it's also a destined thing. Don't forget your loneliness in the Icebound City, now at least I'm with you."

  Xuan Yu caught up with Su Dong and said, "You don't understand, I'm just reminiscing about the past. Unlike you, who is heartless and ruthless. Hua Yingyue was so sad when she heard you were leaving, but you didn't show any emotion."

  Su Dong said faintly: "Men always have to move forward, can't stop because of someone."

  Xuanyu was taken aback, Su Dong's words were quite masculine, but he couldn't understand why Su Dong, who was still young, had such a firm conviction.

  It gets colder as you go further north, but fortunately it's almost spring now, so the weather isn't unbearable.

  Su Dong didn't expect that his first time leaving Hansheng City would take him so far, almost to the end of the continent.

  The improvement in rank gave Su Dong a more robust physique, and he was able to traverse the steep ice mountains with ease, his footsteps swift and light. In just over ten days, Su Dong arrived at the end of the Northern Wilderness.

  "Look, the vast expanse of ice in front is the end of the wasteland. Even in the hottest July, nothing will grow there, unlike here where a few weeds will sprout out during hot weather." Yu Yu pointed northward and said.

  The eyes looked past, as if the icy snow had created a platform, and the terrain in front suddenly rose up, almost hundreds of meters higher than Su Dong's position!

  "Huh?" Su Dong suddenly discovered that in the distance, a group of black shadows were swaying back and forth, as if they were fighting!

  When Su Dong approached closer, he found out that it was a group of eagles attacking a Snow Demon!

  It's really Snow Magic!

  He was now lying in a pool of blood, his mount, the Double-Headed Wolf, torn to pieces by several giant eagles with sharp claws.

  But for some reason, these eagles still didn't leave, vigilantly surrounding the Snow Demon's corpse.

  "Don't go! Those big guys are too ferocious." said Huan Yu.

  "It's okay, we're all friends."

  Whoosh!

  Su Dong hastened his pace and arrived outside the battlefield. Those vultures surprisingly did not attack Su Dong, but instead lowered their heads in a very respectful manner.

  "We are under Grey Wing's command. We met you at the Dinghai Martial Arts Hall that one time." One of the grey eagles transformed into a human figure and said.

  Su Dong nodded slightly and said in a low voice: "There's something to say later, you all retreat one hundred steps first, I'll deal with this thing."

  "Then I'll leave it up to you!"

  Several grey eagles retreated a hundred steps back following Su Dong's words. Huan Yu asked curiously, "What do you want to deal with?"

  Su Dong didn't say a word, and from the star ring, he took out that set of murderous artifacts. He tossed them into the air, and the twelve skinning knives seemed to have grown eyes as they accurately inserted themselves into the ice layer, forming a Twelve Gate Formation!

  "Go die!"

  Snap!

  Su Dong tied a strange knot in his hand, and spiritual energy quickly began to condense in the formation, forming a force of slaughter!

  Suddenly, the Snow Demon's body moved! A dark and slippery thing, like an octopus from the sea, crawled out from behind the Snow Demon's back!

  Unfortunately, the Qimen formation is the arch-nemesis of these dark creatures! Before it could even take a few steps, it began to burn fiercely and was finally reduced to ashes!

  Su Dong waved his hand, signaling the Ling beasts and Cangying to come over. He himself squatted on the ground, using a knife to slowly peel open Xue Mo's corpse.

  "Thanks to meeting you, this thing is a real nuisance! We killed a snow demon elsewhere before, and because of this thing, we lost a brother!" The beast warrior gritted his teeth.

  ……

  Su Dong examined the corpse of the Snow Demon and called over a warrior from the Lingying tribe.

  "Why have you come here?" Su Dong asked.

  "My name is Hong Gu, and our team was ordered by Lord Hui Yu to be the vanguard in the front. We're not the only ones, Wolf King Gu Ling, Bear King Heng Tian, and Deer King Huai Ying also sent their troops, but they are slower than us and were left behind." said Red Valley, a warrior of the Spirit Eagle tribe.

  Su Dong nodded and said: "Now it seems that Snow Demon didn't disappear, but they themselves had a big problem. What did you discover on this road?"

  "Last year, the Far North Wilderness still had some remnants of the Snow Demons' tribes, but now they have completely disappeared from the wilderness. This place is now a barren wasteland."

  "As for the Snow Demon problem, it has occurred throughout the entire North. Our Spirit Beast clan and even the humans of the four Northern countries have not been spared. It is due to this concern that Lord Gray Feather gathered his troops early on and sent them to the North to seek out the truth behind the matter."

  Su Dong was taken aback and asked: "Does your Ling Beast clan also have cases of being possessed by evil spirits?"

  Hong Gu Dao said: "That's right, the closer to the north, the more severe the situation is. We have no choice but to kill our own brothers and burn them, hoping that such a situation will not spread."

  Su Dong said: "Burning can have some effect, but it cannot solve the problem. What about humans?"

  Hong Gu Dao said: "The infested areas are concentrated in the northern four countries. Currently, Hansheng and the more southern countries on the mainland have no problems."

  Su Dong let out a sigh of relief, Su Ning and Su Qi were both living in Hansheng City, which was only 800 miles away from the Northern Four Nations. Should he have them retreat to the southern region?

  Su Dong looked north and asked: "The closer we get to the North, the more severe the situation is. This shows that the evil spirit's control range is still limited, but I don't know what the situation is like on the other side."

  Hong Gu Dao said, "We can't go any further ahead because what's in front of us is the Sky Boundary, which is a forbidden area set by our Goddess of Wisdom and God of Strength. Unless we are summoned, we cannot go under the Sky Boundary."

  The Ling Beast Clan has always been stubbornly loyal to their gods, and whatever the gods ask them to do, they will not hesitate even if it means death. Whatever place the gods do not allow them to go, they will definitely not approach.

  The sky had already darkened, and Su Dong decided to rest here for the night, learning more about the current situation on the mainland from Hong Gu, and setting out again early the next morning. Once past this place, it was Tian Kong, and Su Dong couldn't know what lay in wait for himself.

  It can be predicted that there must be a powerful evil spirit occupying a certain piece of land under the sky, and then spreading its power southward.

  Xuan Yu thought for a moment and asked: "What exactly is an evil spirit?"

  Su Dongdao said, "Like you, evil spirits don't have a physical body, but they possess spiritual control and infectious abilities. They're intelligent and extremely venomous. I've never seen such a powerful evil spirit before, so what I'm saying may not be entirely accurate."

  Huan Yu glared at Su Dong, himself didn't have a physical body, but Su Dong compared him to an evil spirit, which made Huan Yu feel very uncomfortable.

  "I advise you not to go to Tianqiu after all. What if it's the lair of evil spirits? You might not be able to come back." Xiangyu said solemnly.

  "I've said it before, I've never seen such a powerful evil spirit before, so my judgment may not be accurate. Only by examining it personally can I determine what that thing is and how to deal with it."

  "Don't worry, I'm not really courting death, just going to take a look under the eaves of heaven. If things don't feel right, I'll withdraw early, after all, preserving one's life is the most important thing in the world."

  Su Dong didn't actually plan on fighting the evil spirit head-on; it was purely curiosity that drove him to come all the way here.

  Past life experiences and this life are two completely different concepts. When Su Dong first saw Bai Xiaoya, he thought she was a harmful life form and almost killed her, which shows that here is very different from Earth.

  Evil spirits are also known as vengeful souls. The most evil spirits on Earth can only harm one or two people, but the thing from the Forgotten Continent in the North is different. It will destroy Snow Demons, Humans, and Spirit Beasts, three completely different races! It parasitizes them, controlling their bodies and minds, its power is terrifying!

  If it is allowed to develop further, the entire continent will fall!

  ……

  The dawn in the north always comes very late.

  Before dawn broke, Su Dong bid farewell to Hong Gu and climbed up the steep ice wall to the northernmost highland of the continent.

  At first glance, Su Dong saw the colorful sky, like a colorful umbrella, covering the horizon in front of him, dreamy and mysterious, making people feel extremely oppressive.

  "There is the sky, probably the strangest patch of sky in the world. The seven-colored light surrounds the northernmost land, and it's said that at the very center of the sky is a super-massive snow mountain, with a height of over 3 million meters! It pierces straight into the clouds!" Yu Wu said in a low voice.

  A thirty-million-meter-high snow mountain? A mountain can have ten thousand meters, it's already a miracle. If there really is a snow mountain that reaches thirty million meters, it will be a divine sign!

  Looking very close, but actually Xudong is still far from the sky, around noon, blurry footprints gradually appear on the snowy ground, as if the snow demon had passed by here not long ago.

  "It's indeed the trace of a double-headed wolf. Here, footprints will be buried by wind and snow in less than a day, which means that Snow Demon is nearby." Su Dong squatted down to examine those footprints and then said.

  Yu shook his head, "It's better if it's just Snow Demon, what I'm worried about is those snow demons that have been possessed."

  Su Dong didn't say anything and continued walking ahead with a lowered body.

  By dusk, footprints were already very clear, indicating that Su Dong and Xue Mo were already very close.

  Su Dong cautiously chose to stay overnight in the original place, after all, human vision is not strong at night, and accidentally encountering a large army of evil creatures would be troublesome.

  In the snowy ground, a hole was dug, and Su Dong jumped in and covered the top layer with ice and snow, leaving only a breathing hole, lying in the icy snow.

  At night, a fierce wind blows on the ice field, as if ten thousand giant beasts are howling.

  Su Dong couldn't sleep, and while cultivating the Long Jia Ba Men's gong method, he listened to the wind sounds coming from outside.

  Around midnight, Su Dong finally felt a bit tired. At this time, the wind began to become chaotic, as if something was running in the snowstorm, panting with heavy breathing.

  "Not good, they're coming our way!" Huan Yu widened her eyes and said in a low voice.
