Become a fairy alone

His former enemies, however, continued to improve, and even though breaking through to the Demon Lord realm was not easy, they were able to gradually approach his current strength.

The other side had joined forces against him, and the Extreme Cloud Demon Lord knew his situation would only worsen. Even changing his appearance and hiding his identity wouldn't completely eliminate those potential crises.

Since there's no better option now, we might as well go with Dongfang Yi to the Supreme Heavenly Dragon Realm and try our luck.

"How do you plan to deal with the Ice Shadow Clan's experts?" The Extreme Cloud Demon Lord was not one to hesitate; after making his decision, he immediately inquired about the method to deal with Bing Tianfang.

Dongfang Yi reached out and lifted a set of array flags and array plates, which flew out one after another.

"This is the Sacred Frost Jug Formation. Follow the instructions in the main disc to Frost Cloud Valley, set up the formation there, and then hide. As long as you are careful, Bing Tianfang's strength will not be able to detect you."

"How long will it take?" asked the Extreme Cloud Demon Lord.

“It’s uncertain. It could be a few months, hundreds of years, thousands of years, or even longer,” Dongfang Yi said.

"Am I just supposed to wait there like this?" Extreme Cloud Demon Lord was somewhat dissatisfied.

"You don't think a demon lord-level expert is easy to kill, do you? The right time and place are indispensable, and there are too many unpredictable variables in between."

Or are you in a hurry to go to the Supreme Heavenly Dragon Realm to find Lu Xiaotian's limbs? The Four Heavenly Emperors have been fighting for thousands of years to suppress Lu Xiaotian. Do you think you can find them in a short time if you go there now?
"If you can't kill Bing Tianfang, you can't forge the Floating Life Boat. Or do you have a treasure that can deal with the Nine Nether Weak Water?" Dongfang Yi asked several questions in a calm tone.

"I will go." The Demon Lord of Extreme Clouds paused, his heart pounding wildly.

Speaking of treasures for dealing with the Nine Nether Weak Water, he actually came across one unexpectedly when he entered and exited the Immortal-Demon Battlefield.

The Demon Lord of Extreme Clouds wasn't entirely confident about its exact potential impact. However, this item was one of his greatest assets, and he hadn't expected Dongfang Yi to guess it so quickly—that woman's intuition was terrifying.

The Demon Lord of Extreme Clouds poured his demonic energy into the array plate, and a map immediately appeared inside. Following the map's directions, it took the Demon Lord of Extreme Clouds more than a month to reach Frost Cloud Valley.

The entire valley was shrouded in a hazy mist, upon which a thin layer of ice crystals had formed.

The sunlight, refracted through countless layers of ice crystals, appeared exceptionally beautiful. However, even under these magnificent lights, the entire valley exuded a chill that penetrated to the very soul.

Even with the cultivation level of the Extreme Cloud Demon Lord, he couldn't help but shiver when he entered. Fortunately, the array plate in his hand shared some of the cold air.

The Frost Cloud Valley is filled with a large amount of mist, making it an excellent hiding place for the Extreme Cloud Demon Lord.

As long as he hides well in advance and takes advantage of the clouds and mist in the valley, even without obtaining the array flags and array plates, it would be extremely difficult for an ordinary demon lord to find him. No wonder Dongfang Yi wanted to cooperate with him.

Having adapted to the valley environment very quickly, the Extreme Cloud Demon Lord placed the array flags and array plates in suitable positions and then concealed his body, as if he had completely blended into the valley.

There was plenty of time now, but the waiting time was still much longer than he had expected. Time flew by, and the Extreme Cloud Demon Lord waited in the valley for a full three thousand years.

In other words, he had already reached a bottleneck in his cultivation, and it would be difficult to improve no matter how much he continued to cultivate. Otherwise, the Extreme Cloud Demon Lord probably wouldn't have been able to wait this long.

During the long years of waiting, he spent most of his time comprehending the Sacred Yoke Frost Array, while also sorting out his own Heavenly Demon Twelve Transformations and his many past battles.

His cultivation level remained stagnant, but the calm and insightful experiences he had accumulated over the past three thousand years had largely cleansed away his restlessness and arrogance.

The Extreme Cloud Demon Lord inhaled and exhaled the frost and mist in the valley with his own unique rhythm, and the cold and ethereal feeling seemed to be absorbed into his body.

With his divine sense completely subsided, the Extreme Cloud Demon Lord felt that he had completely merged with the valley and the formation.

Under these circumstances, even if Dongfang Yi, who created this formation, were to arrive in person, the Extreme Cloud Demon Lord felt that the other party might not be able to find him easily.

As for Bing Tianfang, it goes without saying that even if his cultivation level were higher than Dongfang Yi's, it would still be impossible for him to do so.

The reason Dongfang Yi made him wait so long was probably not only because Bing Tianfang was difficult to deal with, but also to give him enough time to fully integrate his own aura with the entire Tianshuang Valley, ensuring everything went smoothly.

His mind merged with the empty valley and the ethereal clouds. In the end, the Extreme Cloud Demon Lord was completely enjoying this state and even forgot the passage of time.

It's unclear how much time had passed, but six or seven figures shot in from the distance.

"The misty clouds are like gauze, colorful and vibrant, like a crystal palace. What a beautiful Frost Cloud Valley! This place is just right for the fairy's temperament."

Standing amidst the clouds, Bing Tianfang gazed at the valley before him, its chilling atmosphere punctuated by a breathtaking yet radiant beauty, and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"It does look beautiful, but it's also a place where life is extinguished. Countless creatures that have strayed into this place have been completely frozen to death, their bodies and souls melted into the frost of this place, thus creating the Ice Yang Frost Crystal at the bottom of the valley. However, it is a place to obtain treasures, so it doesn't matter whether the temperament is compatible or not." Dongfang Yi said calmly.

"The fallen flowers yearn to follow the flowing water, but the flowing water is heartless and does not love the fallen flowers. After all these years, does the fairy of the East still not understand my feelings?" Bing Tianfang sighed.

"I only have the Dao in my heart; everything else is trivial. Elder Bing, don't waste your energy on me. Hurry up and retrieve the treasure."

Over the years, some people have already gone to the Supreme Heavenly Dragon Realm. Although those who went early may not necessarily gain anything, we cannot fall too far behind.” Dongfang Yi skipped over Bing Tianfang’s topic and shifted the focus to the treasures here.

"The path of heaven is long and winding. How lonely it would be to explore this endless road alone. Why should the Fairy of the East care about having another person accompany her?"

Upon hearing this, Bing Tianfang smiled and said, "My Ice Shadow Clan is determined to obtain the body parts of the Supreme Heavenly Dragon. We also have a unique advantage in dealing with the Nine Nether Waterfall. However, this matter is a top secret of my Ice Shadow Clan and will never be known to outsiders. Do you understand what I mean, Fairy Dongfang?"

"You didn't say this before the Ice Sun Frost Crystal matured. Now that your goal is almost achieved, are you trying to kick us while we're ahead?" Dongfang Yi's eyes turned murderous.

"Since ancient times, all's fair in war. Fairy Dongfang and our Ice Shadow Clan are two different forces. Large forces have always only had exchanges of interests; the relationship between allies is unreliable."

"However, if Fairy Dongfang is willing to actively integrate into our Ice Shadow Clan, she will naturally be considered one of us. If we then find the limbs of the Supreme Heavenly Dragon, Fairy Dongfang will also share in this immense opportunity. Such a win-win situation, Fairy Dongfang should carefully consider it." Bian Tianfang advised kindly. "What if I say no?" Dongfang Yi frowned slightly.

“Most of Fairy Dongfang’s subordinates are quite content with their lives in the Ice Shadow Clan. Even if Fairy Dongfang can return, her subordinates can’t. Why bring it to this point?” Bing Tianfang said calmly.

"No wonder you insisted on bringing these juniors from your clan here. It seems you intend to attack me." Dongfang Yi glanced at the five Ice Shadow Clan members who were already on high alert.

"I didn't want to come to this point either, but this is the will of the entire Ice Shadow Clan's higher-ups. Fairy Dongfang is now all alone."

"Let me give you one last piece of advice: taking a step back will open up a whole new world. Not everyone has the opportunity to integrate into the Ice Shadow Clan, so don't ruin your life." Bing Tianfang said, as if he were doing it for your own good.

As soon as he finished speaking, the auras of the five Nascent Soul Demon Body Realm experts, led by Bing Feiqing, rose one after another.

The five people's auras were perfectly integrated, and a halo of colorless ice light slowly spread outwards.

At the same time, each of the five people produced an ice mirror with an icy and eerie aura, and a great battle was about to break out.

"Fairy of the East, you know too many secrets about the Ice Shadow Clan. If you can't be one of us, then you can only be our enemy." Bing Tianfang's eyes hardened. "I'll ask you one last time: will you agree or not?"

A cold wind blew, causing her white robes to flutter. Dongfang Yi did not immediately reply, but slowly reached out to catch the frost and snow falling from the void.

"It's snowing. The frost and snow in Frost Cloud Valley are different from those in other places."

“It is indeed different. The frost and snow here are beautifully colored after being touched by the sunlight. It is a wonderful place. I also hope to have a good outcome with Fairy Dongfang,” Bing Tianfang said.

"The colors are indeed beautiful, but one color is still missing."

"What color?" Bing Tianfang sensed that Dongfang Yi's tone had softened. He thought the other party had changed her mind, otherwise she wouldn't be so concerned about such trivial matters with a major battle looming. Thinking that his long-cherished wish might soon be fulfilled, Bing Tianfang's mood also became relaxed.

"There's still one missing color: the color of the Ice Shadow Clan's blood." Dongfang Yi smiled calmly. "Your Ice Shadow Clan has always been ruthless but lacks magnanimity. Did you really think I wasn't on guard?"

Upon hearing the other party's words, Bing Tianfang's expression changed instantly. He once again swept his divine sense around, but found no danger. A hint of anger appeared on his face.

"Forgive my poor eyesight, but I really can't see where your defenses are. If you try to fight against our Ice Silver Clan by yourself, it's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot—utterly overestimating your own strength."

Before the words were even finished, the frost and snow falling from the sky became even more concentrated than before.

"Not good, this is the power of an array, retreat quickly." At this moment, Bing Tianfang finally noticed something unusual, and a chill ran down his spine.

Dongfang Yi stood right in front of him without making any move; otherwise, she would never have escaped his perception.

The opponent rose to power in the demon realm at an extremely rapid pace, and their foundation was very shallow compared to the ancient Ice Shadow Clan.

Apart from Dongfang Yi himself, there were no other demon lord-level powerhouses he could rely on or trust, which was the root cause of the Ice Shadow Clan's courage to force the annexation of Dongfang Yi's tribe.

Bing Tianfang believed that his strength was superior to his opponent's, and he had also brought five clansmen who could form a war force. With his intentions on the side of the enemy, Bing Tianfang was confident that he could defeat Dongfang Yi if a fight broke out.

However, given that his opponent was indeed exceptionally talented and possessed unparalleled beauty, Bing Tianfang, confident of victory, still wanted to try and gain an advantage. But he never expected that Dongfang Yi would dare to make a move despite being at such a significant disadvantage.

The formation set up by the opponent was so silent that he only became alerted when the formation was activated and even made a sound to alert them. Such a silent and stealthy method did indeed surprise him.

As Bing Tian issued a warning, he led his five clansmen to try to move away.

The frost and snow formation in front of us is activated without a trace, so it's best to leave first if we don't know the enemy's situation.

Bing Tianfang's survival to this day is not only due to his formidable strength, but also, and perhaps more importantly, to his cautiousness. Their reaction was undeniably swift, but the surroundings were shrouded in mist and frost. As far as the eye could see and the senses could perceive, everything was already a world of frost and snow.

They changed direction several times in an attempt to force their way out, and for the time being, they did not encounter any strong resistance, but the frost and snow under the surrounding clouds seemed endless.

Sensing a slight change in the aura above him, Bing Tianfang looked up.

A thin layer of icy light surrounded Dongfang Yi, giving her an astonishing beauty that surpassed all others. It would be wonderful to have such a woman as a fellow Daoist, but unfortunately, she had other ambitions.

"You think you can marry Dongfang Yi? You're like a toad lusting after a swan." A sneer rang out from the depths of the vast frost and snow.

Although the Demon Lord of Extreme Clouds was hostile to the original body, he did not believe that anyone other than the original body was worthy of Dongfang Yi.

I've heard that I command at least five Dragon Lords in the Dragon Realm, and more than ten Demon Lords and Monster Lords in total. There are even some who can rival powerhouses like Immortal Lord Yu Hua and Old Lord Qian Hua. I estimate that any one of them would be stronger than Bing Tianfang.

Although the main body was suppressed by the four Heavenly Emperors, the Dragon Domain escaped a calamity after the great battle. The Dragon Lords and Demon Lord level experts under Lu Xiaotian's command also survived the battle, and their strength is estimated to improve even further in the future.

With five Dragon Lords and the Weilong Army in command, along with three other powerful beings at the source of the laws, their formidable strength surpasses even that of any other Heavenly Court. Even without Lu Xiaotian, the Dragon Lord, it wasn't something any Heavenly Emperor could conquer.

With Bing Tianfang's strength, he actually dared to make a move on Dongfang Yi. That's just wishful thinking. Not to mention Bing Tianfang, even the entire Ice Shadow Clan combined wouldn't stand a chance against the Dragon Domain.

"You fool who doesn't know his own death, once I break this local formation, I will grind you to dust!" Bing Tianfang shouted angrily.

A mere junior with only a nascent soul dared to mock him, which deepened his apprehension. Judging from the current situation, it was none other than the Extreme Cloud Demon Lord who secretly activated the grand formation; how could such a junior have kept him completely unaware?

The thought of how long the other side would need to prepare is chilling. However, despite his fear, Bing Tian wouldn't back down in front of five of his clansmen. (End of Chapter)
