Chapter 1090 Returning to Huayang Realm, Xuanming Sword Dragon
A moment later, the dozen or so figures fell to the ground.
Upon seeing these suddenly appearing human cultivators, the "Ice Glass Beast" was immediately frightened and took a few steps back. It then spat out a beam of blue light emitting a chilling aura at the crowd who had not yet reacted.
But to the little "Ice Glass Beast's" surprise, these human cultivators were not frozen as it had imagined when faced with its full-force attack from a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator. They just sat there and shivered a few times.
Seeing that these people could withstand his attacks with just their physical bodies, it seemed that their cultivation level was even higher than his.
The shocked "Ice Glass Beast" immediately turned around and fled from the spot.
Only after the "Ice Glass Beast" escaped did the group, who were still a little dizzy lying on the ground, slowly regain their senses and excitedly begin to look around at themselves.
These human cultivators who suddenly appeared in the ice palace were none other than Song Qingming and his companions, who had finally escaped from the "Purple Sun Heavenly Palace" far away in the Nine Heavens.
After getting up, Liu Ziliang looked at his arms, which were still covered in cold air, and said with a puzzled expression, "Huh! The guy who attacked us just now seemed to be an Ice Glass Beast."
"Have we already returned to Huayang Realm?"
"The ice-attribute spiritual energy here is so abundant that it doesn't seem to be in the outer void. Could it be that we've been teleported to the Northern Underworld Immortal Continent?"
"What? This is the Northern Underworld Continent? We can't be that unlucky, can we?!"
"Beiming Immortal Continent" is located in the far north of Huayang Realm. Its climate is much colder than that of other continents, and many places within its borders are covered in ice and snow all year round.
Since the demonic calamity that broke out tens of thousands of years ago, the "Northern Underworld Immortal Continent" has suffered heavy losses among human cultivators due to large-scale invasions by demons, and its territory has basically become the domain of demonic cultivators and monsters.
Nowadays, the entire "Northern Underworld Immortal Continent" has long become a forbidden zone for human cultivators. Apart from those who have switched to cultivating demonic techniques, very few people dare to go there on their own initiative.
Upon hearing the words "Northern Underworld Immortal Continent," the other cultivators who had regained consciousness immediately showed grim expressions, as if they had already heard about the dangers there.
"Fellow Daoists, this is not the Northern Underworld Continent; we should have arrived at the Thunder Origin Sea!"
Just as everyone was in a panic, a voice suddenly appeared, interrupting the surprised crowd. It was Song Qingming, who had led everyone away from the "Purple Sun Heavenly Palace".
"Fellow Daoist Song, are you sure you're not mistaken? This is the Thunder Origin Sea. I've never heard of such a frigid place in the Thunder Origin Sea."
Compared to the "Northern Underworld Immortal Continent" located in the far north, the "Thunder Origin Sea" cultivation world is geographically the exact opposite, situated in the warmer southern sea area.
The temperature inside the area is even higher than that of "Donghuang Xianzhou", and there are hardly any sea areas that can freeze.
Upon hearing what Song Qingming said, Liu Qingli, a cultivator of the "Thunder Origin Sea" sect, immediately asked a question with some doubt.
Upon hearing this, Song Qingming immediately reached out and brushed away the remaining ice shards on his body, smiling as he explained:
"Gentlemen, to be honest, more than a hundred years ago, when I and other fellow Daoists came to Leiyuan Sea, we happened to see this monster in the deep abyss of the sea."
If it weren't for this chance encounter with him, I wouldn't have recognized this place at all in a short time.
When Song Qingming was teleported to this place, he was just as worried as everyone else that he would be teleported to some dangerous place.
Having just experienced a long-distance spatial teleportation from nine heavens away, Song Qingming and many other cultivators present had basically exhausted their mana to deal with the external gales during the teleportation.
If they were truly transported to the "Northern Underworld Immortal Continent," which is controlled by demons and monsters, given their current weakened state, probably very few of them would survive to leave this place.
Fortunately, when Song Qingming woke up, he found the scene in front of him very familiar, and he also heard Liu Ziliang recognize the "Ice Glass Beast".
He then immediately confirmed that the place where everyone had been teleported to was the "Ice Glass Beast" nest located in the deep sea abyss, which he and Bai Yuxian had found when they came to "Thunder Origin Sea" to search for spiritual objects.
Although Song Qingming did not get a clear look at the "Ice Glass Beast" that had just attacked them.
Judging from the cultivation level of the attackers, it should be the same little "Ice Glass Beast" that was at the Golden Core stage back then.
Otherwise, if they had encountered that giant "Ice Glass Beast" comparable to a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, they probably wouldn't still be sitting here unharmed.
Thinking back, it was precisely in this ice palace that I was able to find the "Purple Sun Token".
Combined with the circular stone platform beneath our feet that resembles an array, this is truly remarkable.
Song Qingming immediately realized that the fact that everyone had been teleported here was probably not a coincidence, but most likely related to the palace ruins in the Ice Palace Ruins.
However, Song Qingming did not explain much to the crowd, but simply recounted how he and Bai Yuxian had come here to search for the "Mysterious Nether Flower" years ago.
Later, while tracking the "Ice Glass Beast," he revealed that he had inadvertently been near the Ice Palace.
"Although I have never been to the Northern Underworld Continent, I have heard from a friend that most of the places there have been tainted by demonic energy, which seems to be different from the pure ice attribute aura contained in this Ice Palace."
Moreover, high-level demonic beasts like the Ice Glass Beast, once they find their nest, will not easily move away. I think Fellow Daoist Song is right; this place should still be in the Thunder Origin Sea.”
"So, we're not in the Northern Underworld Continent. That's great! I've finally returned to the Huayang Realm, and I don't want to lose my life as soon as I get back."
".."
After hearing Song Qingming's explanation, no one noticed anything unusual. Ling Zhentian, who was always knowledgeable, immediately chimed in with a word of agreement.
Upon hearing this, the crowd began to believe it, and their faces showed a sense of relief at having survived a disaster.
"Fellow Daoists, although this place is not in the Northern Underworld Continent, it is not a safe place for us right now. Let's recover our strength and leave here first!"
As he spoke and reminded everyone, Song Qingming immediately took out a pill to restore his mana and swallowed it.
"Yes! Fellow Daoist Song is right. We have very little magic power left. Let's quickly recover our magic power and leave this place!"
Otherwise, if we encounter other powerful demonic beasts, we fear we will find it difficult to escape easily!
"Sigh, it's a pity that guy got away. Otherwise, we could have caught him and exchanged him for some spirit stones."
Not only Song Qingming, but everyone who had just escaped from the "Purple Sun Heavenly Palace" had almost exhausted their magical power after the spatial teleportation.
Apart from Ling Zhentian and Xiao Laogui, the only two powerful late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators present still had some magic power remaining in their bodies.
The others were not in good condition either. Liu Qingli and the others, who were the weakest in cultivation, even had difficulty getting up and could only sit cross-legged on the ground to recover their magic power.
Especially after hearing Song Qingming's words that there might be an "Ice Glass Beast" comparable to the late Nascent Soul stage hidden here, they would not be able to deal with this demon if it appeared.
Upon hearing Song Qingming's reminder, everyone immediately began to take out spirit stones and pills, seizing the time to recover their condition.
Only Liu Ziliang, who harbored a bit of greed, couldn't help but show a hint of regret when he thought of the little "Ice Glass Beast" that had just escaped.
Just as everyone was hurrying to recover, before long, a powerful pressure suddenly appeared in front of the Ice Palace, which immediately startled Song Qingming and the others who had stronger spiritual senses.
Faced with this somewhat familiar yet powerful aura, Song Qingming instantly recognized it as the giant "Ice Glass Beast" that had chased him back then.
When Song Qingming and Bai Yuxian first met each other, this demon's cultivation had already reached the peak of the mid-Nascent Soul stage.
Now, a hundred years later, the opponent's aura seems even stronger than before, and he has probably successfully broken through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
"Oh no, it looks like that guy is here! Everyone be careful!"
"No way, they arrived so quickly!"
Those sitting on the ground had only just recovered less than half of their magical power, and upon hearing Song Qingming's words, they immediately showed an unpleasant expression.
All those present were Nascent Soul cultivators. If this were a normal day when everyone was in good condition, it would be quite a feat for so many people to face a late-stage Nascent Soul Demon Emperor.
No matter how powerful the opponent is, they have nothing to fear.
But now, they have very little magic power left in their bodies. If they are entangled with the opponent in this place, they may have to go through a tough battle.
If they attract other demon kings from the surrounding area, these Nascent Soul experts might all be wiped out by the demon race today.
"Fellow Daoist Ling and I will be responsible for holding them off. Fellow Daoist Song, you two should quickly find an opportunity to search for the exit of this place, lest we get entangled by the demon emperor here, which would be troublesome."
Everyone, evacuate this area first. We'll meet up again once we find a safe place.
Seeing that the aura of the Demon Emperor was getting closer and closer, Ling Zhentian and Xiao Laogui, who had the highest cultivation levels present, took the lead in stepping forward to take on the important task of holding off their opponent.
These two were, after all, powerful cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage. Although they had also experienced spatial teleportation, their current condition was clearly much better than the others.
Upon hearing this, Song Qingming and the others did not say anything more and immediately nodded.
"You despicable human cultivators, how dare you come here to die again!"
Before everyone could take action, a furious shout rang out from ahead, followed by two streaks of light rushing towards their location.
The creature that arrived was the same level-four "Ice Glass Beast" that Song Qingming had seen more than a hundred years ago.
When Song Qingming and Bai Yuxian first encountered this demon, it had already reached the peak of the mid-Nascent Soul stage. Now, its cultivation has advanced even further, and it has entered the late-Nascent Soul stage.
This "Ice Glass Beast" has the same temper as always, just as fiery as it did back then.
Upon seeing that another human cultivator had invaded its lair, the "Ice Glass Beast" roared angrily and exhaled a burst of icy air at the crowd.
Seeing the powerful aura emanating from the other party, he realized that the other party was indeed a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, no weaker than himself.
Although Ling Zhentian and Xiao Laogui frowned slightly, they still cast spells and released their magic weapons without hesitation, rushing directly towards their opponent.
On Xiao Laogui's side, he took the lead in wielding a cyan bamboo staff, which he held horizontally in front of everyone, instantly creating a cyan protective shield that blocked the powerful attack from the "Ice Glass Beast".
Ling Zhentian, wielding a black flying sword, seized the opportunity to dart around to the side of the "Ice Glass Beast," gathering an incomparably sharp sword light and swiftly slashing at his opponent. "Bang!"
Suddenly, a burst of spiritual light erupted ahead, and the three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators had already exchanged several blows in an instant.
Although the "Ice Glass Beast" was also at the late Nascent Soul stage, it was unable to gain any advantage against the two late Nascent Soul stage cultivators when it was alone.
Not only did they fail to stop the crowd, but they were also intimidated by the fierce sword light released by Ling Zhentian's spell, forcing them to retreat more than ten feet and have no choice but to give way.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Song Qingming and the others, who were hiding near the battlefield, immediately flew out. They ignored the "Ice Glass Beast" and headed straight for the exit outside the Ice Palace.
Compared to Ling Zhentian and the other two who were fighting the "Ice Glass Beast", the others had not yet reached the late Nascent Soul stage. At this moment, they had little mana left and were in a much worse state than the two great cultivators on the battlefield not far away.
They can't exert much of their strength right now, and even if they all rush up, they probably won't be able to help Ling Zhentian and Xiao Laogui much.
It would be better to save our energy and quickly search for the exit of the Ice Palace so that everyone can safely evacuate from this place.
At this moment, the "Ice Glass Beast," which was still fighting with Ling Zhentian in the middle of the battlefield, was startled when it suddenly saw so many Nascent Soul cultivators appearing nearby.
I never expected that so many Nascent Soul cultivators from the human race would suddenly appear in my home.
Just as the "Ice Glass Beast" was wondering why these people didn't choose to attack it first,
With her already powerful divine sense, she quickly sensed that the auras of these human cultivators in the distance were somewhat abnormal. Compared to other Nascent Soul cultivators, their condition seemed unusually weak.
"Damn human cultivators, it was all just a bluff."
Upon realizing the opponent's true strength, the "Ice Glass Beast" instantly suppressed its desire to abandon its nest and retreat.
Taking advantage of a lull in the fight between Ling Zhentian and the other, the "Ice Glass Beast" suddenly let out a deafening and eerie scream, causing the entire ice palace floor to shake violently.
"Oh no, it seems she's summoning other monsters. We need to find a way to get out of here quickly."
Although Ling Zhentian and Xiao Laogui possessed significantly greater magical power than Song Qingming and the others, they retained a considerable amount of strength during the teleportation process.
However, at this moment, both of them only had a small portion of their magical power left.
Their opponent, the "Ice Glass Beast," is located in an ice palace containing a large amount of ice-attribute spiritual energy. It can quickly absorb the nearby ice spiritual energy for its own use, and its supernatural powers are three points stronger than those outside.
With the two of them working together, they could barely suppress the "Ice Glass Beast" in front of them, but it would be difficult to kill such an opponent of the same level in a short time.
If she were to summon other nearby demon kings to help, and the battle dragged on, the other side might be the one to have the last laugh.
Seeing this, Ling Zhentian immediately sent a telepathic message to Song Qingming and the others behind him.
Fortunately, not long after, the two received a message from Song Qingming and the others, and immediately abandoned their opponents and fled quickly.
The enraged "Ice Glass Beast" still seemed unwilling to let the group off easily, and immediately chased after Ling Zhentian and his companion's location.
".."
In a cave outside the Ice Palace, led by Song Qingming with practiced ease, the group quickly found a small "teleportation array" hidden there.
I remember when Song Qingming and Bai Yuxian first came here, they entered from here.
I never imagined that I would come here again after a hundred years.
Moreover, the situation Song Qingming faced this time was exactly the same as back then. He was being chased by the "Ice Glass Beast" in the Ice Palace and had no choice but to use this formation to escape.
It really was a bit of a coincidence.
After testing the "teleportation array" in front of him and finding no problems, Song Qingming immediately instructed some of the people in poor condition to use the teleportation array to evacuate the area.
He, Liu Ziliang, and several others with higher cultivation levels stayed behind to provide support for Ling Zhentian and Xiao Laogui.
Shortly after Song Qingming sent a message to the two to evacuate, two streaks of light flew in from the front, which were Ling Zhentian and Xiao Laogui who had arrived.
What no one expected was that not far behind them, the "Ice Glass Beast" also relentlessly chased after them.
"Oh no, we have to find a way to stop her, otherwise if the teleportation array is destroyed, we won't be able to leave here."
Upon seeing this, Song Qingming immediately shouted out, and then led Liu Ziliang and the others to the front to meet Ling Zhentian and the other two, intending to block the "Ice Glass Beast" outside the cave.
"Huh! It's you again."
The "Ice Glass Beast" that was chasing after them immediately recognized Song Qingming, who was standing in the crowd, as the human cultivator who stole her spiritual medicine here a hundred years ago.
Enraged, she immediately opened her mouth and spat out a beam of blue, icy air at the crowd in front of her, attempting to freeze Song Qingming and the others in mid-air.
Before the attack could even arrive, Old Ghost Xiao activated his magic weapon to block everyone, deflecting all the cold air from the attacker's mouth outside the protective barrier.
After the fierce battle, Xiao Laogui had consumed a lot of his magical power, and a look of anxiety appeared on his face. He immediately looked at Ling Zhentian, who was the strongest among them.
“Fellow Daoist Ling, this place is located in the deep sea, and it is the territory of the demon race all around.”
If we don't find a way to drive this guy away quickly, and she manages to get reinforcements, we might find ourselves in serious trouble getting away today.
Despite Xiao Laogui's urging, Ling Zhentian was well aware of the dangerous situation everyone was in.
Without further hesitation, he used all his remaining magical power to cast a spell, pouring it into the flying sword in his hand.
The next moment, countless black sword shadows materialized in front of Ling Zhentian, tightly surrounding him and converging into a black sword dragon with its entire body completely black.
"Fellow Daoists, I implore you to lend me another helping hand today!"
Upon hearing Ling Zhentian's reminder, everyone immediately understood and hurriedly activated their magical artifacts to protect him.
To restrain the "Ice Glass Beast" in front of him and prevent it from interrupting Ling Zhentian's spellcasting.
Seeing that Ling Zhentian seemed to be preparing some deadly move, the "Ice Glass Beast" immediately sensed a dangerous aura and turned its attack towards this direction.
With great effort, they channeled the icy energy into countless sharp ice blades, which hurtled straight toward Ling Zhentian's location.
Faced with the relentless and fierce attacks of the "Ice Glass Beast," Liu Ziliang, who was at the forefront, soon couldn't hold on any longer and was sent flying by the beast's ice blades.
Fortunately, although he was hit head-on by the ice blade, it did not injure any vital organs. He spat out a mouthful of blood and quickly stood up from the ruins behind him.
Faced with the "Ice Glass Beast" that had been frantically unleashing its magical power, Old Ghost Xiao hurriedly activated his magic weapon to envelop everyone behind him.
Now that things have come to this, it's all about time. Even if it costs him some life force, he has to find a way to hold off his opponent.
Just as Xiao Laogui's expression grew increasingly grim, a green spiritual light suddenly appeared behind him, directly covering his magic weapon.
The next moment, Xiao Laogui suddenly felt that the protective pressure on his body had been reduced a lot.
Looking up, he realized that Song Qingming had once again used his supernatural powers to temporarily enhance the power of the magic weapon in front of him.
Back in the "Purple Sun Heavenly Palace," Liu Ziliang was in danger and almost swept away by the outer winds. It was Song Qingming who used this supernatural power to help him, and Xiao Laogui was able to successfully rescue him.
Seeing Song Qingming use this supernatural power again, Old Ghost Xiao showed some gratitude, but was also somewhat surprised.
Song Qingming's internal magical power seemed to be much deeper than that of Liu Ziliang and others who were at the same level of Nascent Soul Stage 6. At this moment, he was still able to support such a powerful magical power-consuming divine ability.
If I didn't know Song Qingming's exact cultivation level, an outsider here would probably mistake him for a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
What Xiao Laogui didn't know was that it wasn't that Song Qingming's own magical power was so profound, but rather that compared to others, his speed of recovering magical power was slightly faster.
Despite the combined efforts of Xiao Laogui and the others, the "Ice Glass Beast" was unable to break through their defenses, even after unleashing its strongest divine power.
Just as she was furious about this, Ling Zhentian, who was behind everyone, suddenly unleashed a powerful force.
At this moment, the "Ice Glass Beast" instantly sensed a danger, immediately abandoned its attack on the group, and turned to flee.
But just as she moved, Ling Zhentian quickly released a black sword dragon behind her using magic.
"Mysterious Nether Sword Dragon!"
With a furious roar from Ling Zhentian, the black sword shadow, like a real dragon, instantly caught up with the "Ice Glass Beast" and opened its blood-red maw.
"what."
A shrill scream rang out, and the "Ice Glass Beast" that hadn't had time to escape was swallowed up by the giant dragon formed from the black sword shadow.
The next moment, a flash of light appeared in the void next to the black figure, and a sphere wrapped in blue light flew out from it.
Now in a sorry state, with only its natal nascent soul remaining, the "Ice Glass Beast" had long lost its previous arrogance.
He glanced at everyone, then transformed into a streak of light and fled rapidly into the depths of the Ice Palace, disappearing from everyone's sight in an instant.
Seeing this, Ling Zhentian, who was standing in front, did not choose to chase after the other party, but turned around to look at the "teleportation array platform" to the side.
"This place is no place to linger, everyone let's get out of here!" (End of Chapter)
