A mortal cultivating immortality can nurture spirit beasts.

Dragons and other celestial beasts are far stronger than other demonic beasts of the same level. This level 5 cold dragon is far superior to ordinary level 5 demonic beasts, and its strength is comparable to that of a level 6 demonic beast. In terms of cultivation level, it is equivalent to a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.

Faced with an opponent of this caliber, this group of Foundation Establishment cultivators were naturally terrified and turned pale. If it weren't for their numbers, they probably would have already turned tail and run away.

Yin Xue'er and Lin He exchanged a glance. Lin He nodded subtly, and then Yin Xue'er spoke loudly.

"Don't panic, everyone! With so many of us working together, we can defeat it!"

The late-stage Foundation Establishment elder of the Demon Flame Sect was startled upon hearing this. "Fellow Daoist Yin, are you joking? I don't want to fight a level five Frost Flood Dragon."

The old man's words expressed everyone's thoughts. There were more than two hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators present. Perhaps if everyone joined forces, they could defeat this Frost Dragon, but how many lives would be lost? Who would be willing to sacrifice themselves for it?

While everyone was talking, the cold dragon did not attack. Instead, it stood guard at the entrance of the main hall, its body coiled up, staring intently at everyone, its threat very clear.

Seeing this, Lin He knew he had to speak up, otherwise the group would back down.

He stepped forward from the crowd and declared loudly, "I know you are all afraid of being attacked by this frost dragon, but what if I have a way to withstand its attacks?"

"Huh?" Everyone looked incredulous. This Frost Dragon was so powerful that it would take at least a level 5 spirit beast to withstand its attacks. What could Lin He possibly do?

Lin He took out the spirit beast bag on his own, and a monkey appeared, holding a coiled dragon staff and wearing rock spirit armor. It was Yuan Yi.

"A level four spirit beast? Can it withstand the attack of the Frost Dragon? Are you kidding us?"

Everyone looked on with suspicion. Just as Lin He was about to do something, an anxious female voice rang out.

"Junior brother!"

A dozen or so disciples from Huangfeng Valley arrived. Liu Jing, Song Meng, Senior Sister Chen, and others came over. Senior Sister Chen grabbed Lin He's hand, looking very worried, and said...

"Junior brother, this...this is too dangerous."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to needlessly throw my life away. Listen to me!"

Seeing his insistence, Senior Sister Chen sighed, intending to hand over the late-stage Foundation Establishment bronze-armored corpse to Lin He.

"Use it. The physical body of a corpse refiner is strong; it should be of some use."

Lin He shook his head and said, "If it were an ordinary level-five demonic beast, this bronze-armored corpse could indeed hold its own for a while, but it wouldn't be enough against this Frost Dragon. Let it protect you."

Senior Sister Chen had no choice but to comply.

Lin He turned to look at the crowd, and then with a thought, Yuan Yi rushed towards the cold dragon.

Its action immediately angered the Frost Dragon. The Frost Dragon opened its mouth wide and shot out a thick ice spike, but before it reached Yuan Yi, it was shattered by the Panlong Staff.

Enraged, the Cold Dragon arched its body and then sprang up, instantly rushing in front of Ape One and slamming into him. The next moment, Ape One was sent flying to the ground, covered in dust.

"As expected, level four spirit beasts are still far from sufficient."

Everyone shook their heads at the sight. However, the next moment, Yuan Yi roared and frantically pounded his chest, entering a state of rage. Then, his body rapidly grew larger, transforming into a gigantic ape.

Suddenly, a layer of earth-yellow armor covered the giant ape's body; it was Ape One's magic—Rock Armor Technique!

After casting a defensive spell, the giant ape charged at the frost dragon, and soon the two behemoths began a hand-to-hand combat.

Everyone was horrified at the sight and looked at Lin He with undisguised fear in their eyes.

The transformed giant ape was actually able to withstand the cold dragon. Although it was at a disadvantage, its strength was equivalent to that of an ordinary level 5 spirit beast. How could this not frighten them?

Lin He frowned and said, "Why are you looking at me? The most important thing now is to defeat this Frost Dragon, otherwise none of us will be able to enter this hall."

Lin He's reminder made everyone realize their mistake, and they all began to manipulate their magical artifacts to prepare for an attack. Seeing this, Yin Xue'er quickly said...

"Everyone, do not attack recklessly. Follow my instructions, otherwise it will be troublesome if you accidentally injure the giant ape."

The leaders of the six sects of the Demonic Path, all late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, exchanged glances and expressed their agreement.

Lin He also expressed his agreement, and as a result, the six factions of Yue Kingdom did not say anything more, which was considered as tacit consent.

At this moment, the enraged ape threw a punch at the cold dragon, but it was blocked by a layer of solid scales on its body and was not harmed at all. Instead, the cold dragon spat out more than a dozen thick ice spikes, knocking the ape back.

"Attack now!"

At Yin Xue'er's command, more than two hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators used various magical artifacts to attack, and hundreds of beams of light fell on the cold dragon, instantly knocking back its massive size.

The crowd cheered upon seeing this, but Lin He frowned. The crowd's attack looked impressive, but after a flurry of actions, the damage was only 0.5, which was not enough to break through the opponent's defense.

As expected, although the Frost Dragon was repelled, all its attacks were blocked by its sturdy scales, and it was not harmed at all. Instead, it aroused the Frost Dragon's anger. It opened its mouth wide and prepared to cast a spell. At this moment, Yuan Yi swung his huge fist and smashed it down, directly interrupting its spellcasting.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, but then felt a wave of weakness wash over them.

"This level-five demonic beast has a powerful physical body and strong scales for defense; we can't possibly harm it."

Yin Xue'er suddenly said, "It's not that there's no way. If we can create a wound for it, we can concentrate our attacks on the wound and slowly widen it. With so many of us, we can slowly wear it down."

"It's easy to say, but the problem is we can't break through its defenses."

Everyone shook their heads, and many even began to have second thoughts. Just then, Yan Ruyan suddenly noticed something and quickly pointed in a certain direction, saying...

"Look there!"

Everyone looked up and were shocked. At that moment, a blue figure moved and transformed into a series of afterimages, rushing directly towards the hall.

"Junior brother!" Senior Sister Chen exclaimed in surprise. She hadn't noticed when Lin He had rushed towards the main hall. This risky move terrified her.

Seeing that someone was trying to rush towards the main hall, the cold dragon quickly abandoned Yuan Yi. Although it was huge, its crawling speed was astonishing. It soon caught up with Lin He, and with its huge mouth open, it looked like it was about to swallow Lin He whole.

Upon seeing this, everyone exclaimed in surprise. Senior Sister Chen and the others were very worried, while the demonic path was overjoyed, full of anticipation for what was about to happen.

However, what they expected did not happen. Seeing the cold dragon rushing over, Lin He took out a level six Soul Burning Pearl.

He then threw it at it, and the Frost Dragon opened its mouth wide and bit through the round bead, followed by a terrifying shock to the soul.

The fierce look on Han Jiao's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a blank expression. He stood there dumbfounded, as if he had lost his mind.
