Reborn Shang Zhou, angry at the sage Nuwa at the beginning

"This is... a protective jade pendant from an ancient god or demon?"

Sage Meng stared at the jade pendant in shock, “It contains pure primordial power, which can actually restrain the Void Devouring Spirit Curse!”

The seven-colored light spread out, instantly dissolving the black runes wrapped around Ye Qingyu's arm, and the golden channel gradually contracted under the light.

The Void Emperor's laughter abruptly ceased, and the dark shadows within the crystal began to collide wildly once more:

"No! These are tokens from ancient gods and demons! Why can you always find a power that can restrain me?"

Ye Qingyu gripped the jade pendant tightly, feeling the warm power it contained, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes:
"This jade pendant might help us get closer to the Origin Crystal!"

He looked at everyone and said, "Within a hundred years, we must gather the three tokens left behind by the ancient gods and demons, and with their power, break the seal and destroy the Void Origin Crystal!"

Sage Meng nodded and said, "Besides the black token and this jade pendant, the third token is said to be the 'God and Demon Mending the Sky Stone,' hidden beneath the ancient glacier in the far north. However, that place is covered in ice and snow, and is filled with remnants of the void, making it extremely dangerous."

"No matter how dangerous it is, we have to go!"

Ye Qingyu's eyes were firm: "Emperor Xin sacrificed himself for his cause; we cannot let his sacrifice be in vain!"

He looked at Kong Xuan, Yuan Futong, and the others, "From today onwards, we will split into three groups: Yan Hui and I will go to the far north to find the Stone of Mending the Sky; Sage Meng will stay behind at the Holy Temple to reorganize the cultivators of the Three Realms and suppress the remnants of the Void in various places; Kong Xuan, Sword Master, and Yuan Futong, you will go to the coast of the East Sea to explore the ruins of ancient gods and demons and find a technique to restrain the power of the Void."

Everyone readily accepted the order, their eyes filled with determination. The eternal seal deep within the void continued to flicker, the outline of the golden statue growing fainter, yet its radiance remained like an inextinguishable flame, illuminating the hope of the Three Realms.

Ye Qingyu gripped the Qingfeng Sword tightly, carefully put the jade pendant away, and turned to fly towards the far north.

He knew that this journey was destined to be full of thorns, but in order to protect all living beings in the Three Realms and to fulfill Emperor Xin's last wish, he had to forge ahead.

Within the primordial crystal deep within the void, the roar of the Void Emperor echoed continuously, and an even greater storm was quietly brewing...

The frigid winds of the far north howl like sharp blades, whipping up snow and ice, turning the world into a vast expanse of white.

Ye Qingyu and Yan Hui traversed the ice plains, stepping on flowing light. The glaciers beneath their feet were tens of thousands of feet thick, and the frozen remains of ancient behemoths could be vaguely seen within the ice, emanating a faint smell of decay.

"The void power here is more concentrated than expected."

Yan Hui gripped the Confucian and Taoist sacred sword tightly; the golden light on the blade swayed slightly in the cold wind.

"There seems to be something stirring beneath the glacier."

Ye Qingyu stopped and gently drew his Qingfeng sword. Although the golden flames on the sword were somewhat subdued due to the low temperature, one could still feel the righteous energy contained within them.

He looked down at the ice beneath his feet and saw countless black threads flowing slowly beneath the surface, casting a faint black hue on the ice wherever they passed.

“It is the remnants of the void that are eroding the very essence of the glacier,” he said in a deep voice. “The ancient glacier was originally a pure land, but now it has become their breeding ground.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the glacier in front of him suddenly trembled violently, and a huge crack extended from the ground. Black mist gushed out from the crack, instantly transforming into a massive ice-armored behemoth.

The behemoth was ten zhang tall, its entire body covered in black ice armor, its limbs as thick as stone pillars, and its pair of scarlet eyes fixed on Ye Qingyu and Yan Hui, letting out a deafening roar.

"It's Void Ice Fiend!"

Yan Hui's expression changed slightly. "This beast is formed by the fusion of the power of the void and the cold air of the glacier. It is impervious to blades and spears and possesses immense strength!"

The Void Ice Fiend suddenly pounced, its enormous claws carrying a howling icy wind as they slammed towards the two of them.

Ye Qingyu's eyes sharpened, and his Qingfeng Sword transformed into a streak of light, slashing towards the Ice Fiend's claws. With a loud clang, the sword light collided with the ice armor, sparks flying everywhere. The Ice Fiend's claws were completely unharmed, and Ye Qingyu was instead forced to retreat several steps.

"Its ice armor contains the power of the void, making it ineffective against ordinary attacks!"

Ye Qingyu steadied himself, his righteous energy surging wildly within him, and the golden flames on the sword surged once more. "Use the fire of righteous energy to purify its essence!"

Yan Hui immediately understood, and the Confucian and Taoist holy sword in his hand shone brightly. The chanting of "Ode to Righteousness" echoed across the icy plain, and a powerful force of righteousness gathered into a golden pillar of light, shooting towards the Void Ice Demon.

At the same time, Ye Qingyu leaped into the air, and the golden flames on his Qingfeng sword condensed into a fireball, which slammed into Bing Sha's head.

"boom!"

The fireball and the beam of light struck the target simultaneously, and the Void Ice Fiend let out a shrill scream as the black ice armor on its head melted instantly, revealing the dark flesh and blood inside.

But it did not die; instead, it became even more ferocious, its massive tail sweeping across and shattering the surrounding icebergs.

"Its origin lies in the heart!"

Ye Qingyu keenly sensed the energy flow within the Ice Fiend's body. "We must join forces to destroy its heart!"

Yan Hui nodded, and the Confucian and Taoist Holy Sword in his hand transformed into a golden whip, wrapping around the limbs of the Void Ice Demon, attempting to bind it.

Ye Qingyu transformed into a streak of light and, taking advantage of the Ice Demon's struggle, flew towards its chest.

The golden flames on the Qingfeng Sword condensed to their fullest extent, transforming into a flaming longsword that pierced fiercely into Bing Sha's chest.

"Fuck!"

Black liquid splattered, and the Void Ice Fiend let out a deafening wail. Its massive body began to melt away, and black mist drifted out of its body, being purified by the surrounding righteous energy.

After a while,

The Void Ice Fiend completely dissipated, leaving only a black crystal on the ice surface, emitting a faint void power.

Ye Qingyu picked up the crystal, casually purified it, and a trace of fatigue appeared on his face:
"This is just an appetizer; the real danger is yet to come."

The two continued onward, and the deeper they went into the glacier, the denser the void energy became, and the surrounding ice grew even darker.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a huge ice palace suddenly appeared ahead. The entire ice palace was built of black ice crystals, exuding a sinister chill. Countless twisted runes were carved on the palace gates, which were the totems of the Void Clan.

"This should be the lair of the Void remnants,"

Yan Hui gazed at the Ice Palace, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes. "The Heaven-Mending Stone is very likely hidden deep within the Ice Palace."

The two cautiously approached the Ice Palace. Just as they reached the palace gate, the gate suddenly opened automatically, and a chilling laugh came from inside: "Ye Qingyu, Yan Hui, you really have come."

Inside the palace, countless black figures were neatly arranged, with a man in a black robe at the head. He had a pale face, cold eyes, and exuded an aura similar to that of the Void Emperor.

"I am the Left Envoy of the Void, ordered to guard the Sky-Mending Stone here,"

The man said slowly, "If you want to take the Heaven-Mending Stone, you'll have to get past me first!" (End of Chapter)
