Many children, many blessings; the twelve ancestral witches forced marriages throughout the primordi

In the far south of the Great Shang Dynasty, above the main channel of the Xiang River, a biting wind howled like steel knives from within thick, dark clouds tens of thousands of feet high.

Zhunti Daoist's bitter old face was twisted to the extreme.

His only remaining left hand gripped tightly the [Celestial Ice Box], which exuded an aura of ancient calamity.

This old bald monk had no regard for the dignity of a saint. He bit his tongue and spat out three large mouthfuls of dark golden saintly essence blood, which he violently poured onto the Xuanbing Box.

"Die! The Xiang River must be frozen solid! The Shang Dynasty's granaries will not have a single grain of rice left today!" Zhunti roared, his mind completely mad.

"boom!"

A deafening explosion ripped through the sky.

The gap in the Xuanbing Box was forcibly opened to its maximum. A dense, inky black ancient frigid storm, exuding an aura of extreme destruction, surged out. This storm twisted rapidly in mid-air, transforming into a deathly ice dragon tens of thousands of feet long, with jet-black scales.

The black ice dragon opened its blood-red maw, unleashing terrifying power to freeze the Great Dao, and brutally smashed its way down the already frozen river, heading straight for the Goddess Crystal Palace in the deepest part of the Xiang River.

Inside the Crystal Palace.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Terrifyingly black ice surged from all directions, crushing the Crystal Palace's outer defensive barrier into countless specks of light. The exquisite gold bricks used to stabilize the sea on the walls emitted a series of teeth-grinding cracking sounds.

The two naturally beautiful women, Ehuang and Nüying, have now been forced into the most vulnerable corner of the main hall.

Their exquisitely beautiful faces were now covered with a layer of extremely icy, deathly gray frost. Their eyebrows and hair were frozen solid, covered with white frost.

"Sister! These bald monks from the Western Sect are all spineless beasts!" Nüying, with her extremely fiery temper, gripped her longsword, already chipped and bruised, trembling with rage as she cursed, "A dignified saint, actually plotting against two Great Luo Golden Immortals like us! Aren't they afraid that the karmic consequences of Heaven will blow up their lair!"

At this moment, Ehuang was struggling to hold the line. She held the dim and lifeless [Xiangfei Bamboo Seal] with both hands, using the last bit of pure water essence in her body to desperately support the faint blue light shield that was less than three feet long.

"Nüying! Stop cursing! Protect your heart meridian!" Ehuang coughed up a mouthful of blood mixed with blue ice shards, her voice extremely weak yet filled with fierce determination. "The cold poison in this dead ice has already seeped into our meridians. Even if we die today, we absolutely cannot let this bald monk's cold poison pollute the source of the Xiang River!"

"Snap!"

Before Ehuang could finish speaking, the extremely sturdy crystal dome above her head was forcibly torn apart by the black ice dragon's claws. Extremely violent black, frigid death energy instantly poured in.

The Xiangfei bamboo seal let out a mournful cry, and more than a dozen terrifying cracks appeared on its surface. The last layer of azure light shield instantly extinguished.

The extreme cold completely sealed off the two women's meridians, forcing them into a desperate situation. Their bodies stiffened, they closed their eyes, and waited in despair for their true spirits to be shattered by the cold.

At this critical moment, which was extremely dangerous.

"Boom—!"

A deafening roar, a hundred times more terrifying than thunder, crashed down from the ice layer tens of thousands of feet above the Xiang River.

The extremely thick, millennia-old black ice at the bottom of the river was as if it had been struck squarely by a hammer weighing millions of pounds. A vacuum passage, running directly from the river's surface to its bottom, was ruthlessly and unfairly smashed out.

Lin Xuan, dressed in an extremely casual white short-sleeved shirt and wearing his ever-present flip-flops, smashed straight into the Crystal Palace ruins through the passage!

"Playing with ice on my turf, you old bald monk, you probably haven't had enough of my beatings yet!"

Lin Xuan grinned widely, his eyes filled with extreme arrogance. Without even raising a hand, he stomped his large foot hard on the riverbed, which had already turned into black ice.

"Get the hell out of here!"

An extremely domineering quasi-saint peak physical strength, mixed with the Great Perfection Water Element Law, surged forth from beneath his feet in an instant. But that wasn't all; Lin Xuan arrogantly activated the most terrifying [Chaotic Red Lotus Karmic Fire] within his body.

A terrifying, dark red wave of fire emanated from Lin Xuan and swept outwards in all directions with extreme ferocity.

This is the ultimate karmic fire that can even burn a saint's karma to ashes.

The extremely arrogant black ice dragon didn't even let out a single scream when it encountered the dark red wave of fire.

Its enormous body was like an ice cream cone crashing into a steel furnace, making a loud "sizzle" sound as it was instantly burned into a cloud of extremely hot white steam.

What was originally a frigid, deadly underwater zone was transformed into a giant, scalding hot pot of water in just half a breath.

The mountains of black ice surrounding them collapsed and crumbled under the frenzied licking of the karmic fire, leaving not a single ice shard behind.

While in a semi-conscious state, Ehuang and Nüying suddenly felt the extremely deadly, bone-chilling cold around them disappear completely.

Instead, a scorching heatwave of extreme dominance and wildness swept over it.

With great difficulty, the two opened their frosty eyelids and, through the thick white steam, immediately saw Lin Xuan's extremely tall, masculine, and incredibly muscular figure.

He didn't ride on auspicious clouds, nor did he wear golden armor. This man, casually wearing flip-flops, carved out an extremely violent path to survival in the saint's deadly trap.

Facing the two Xiangshui beauties who were already frozen stiff, Lin Xuan didn't waste any words.

He strode up to the two women. Looking at the two identical, yet strikingly beautiful twin sisters, one cold and the other warm, Lin Xuan's dark eyes flashed with a fiercely aggressive light.

"You can't even stand up straight, what's the point of trying to hold on?"

Lin Xuan bent down and stretched his two extremely thick and strong arms forward in an extremely domineering manner.

He gave them no chance to resist or refuse, and with one hand on each side, he forcibly pulled the two stunningly beautiful twin lotus blossoms into his extremely hot and broad chest.

The two women's frozen cheeks pressed hard against Lin Xuan's muscular chest, visible through his thin short-sleeved shirt. An extremely strong pure yang energy instantly enveloped them completely.

The moment he embraced the two beauties, a crisp and melodious system notification rang out in Lin Xuan's mind right on time.

[Ding! Detected that the host has extremely domineeringly rescued the new female lead from a life-or-death situation!]

[Female Lead's Redemption Progress Update: Ehuang and Nüying's favorability has increased dramatically, currently exceeding the 60% threshold! Host, please intensify your efforts and press your advantage!]

Upon hearing this extremely pleasant notification sound, Lin Xuan's mouth stretched into an even wider grin, and his large hands, which were wrapped around the two women's slender waists, unconsciously tightened their grip even further.
