Chapter 119 The Terrifying Level 6 Ice Demon That Appeared Out of Nowhere

The four of them came to the outside and quickly began to collect the Origin Stones. After two nights of fighting, the ground outside the wall was now a mess, with huge pits and many large footprints everywhere.

When these ice demons are at a low level, their destructive power doesn't seem obvious, but once they reach level four or five, their size increases dramatically, and each one becomes a small giant, multiplying their destructive power.

There were traces of Originium all around the outer perimeter of the territory. Just as the group was picking them up, the detection station in the courtyard suddenly issued an urgent warning.

"Hmm? Again?"

Upon hearing this voice, Sui An felt a headache coming on and quickly called everyone back to the courtyard.

Sui An was dragged back to the courtyard by Fang Si. Just as they stopped and before he could even look at his projection, a huge roar suddenly rang out.

The azure barrier in the sky shattered instantly, turning into countless stars and dissipating. The dense ice mist collapsed like the sky itself, crashing down onto the energy shield.

Sui An felt a stinging pain on his scalp and almost instinctively merged the remaining two barriers together, forcefully expanding them apart.

The energy shield swayed precariously, and before it could be shattered, the barrier itself stepped in, feeling as if it had crashed into an incredibly heavy boulder.

Sui An glanced at the projection above and saw a pitch-black dot of light slowly retreating outside his territory. His eyes widened in surprise.

"Oh no! A level six Ice Demon!"

He summoned the three sword stars almost instantly and activated them all without much thought. A giant flaming sword appeared in front, while 32 smaller flaming swords rapidly condensed behind him.

"boom!"

The combined barrier struggled to push the target away, but the mysterious entity struck the barrier again with a powerful blow just two or three seconds later.

The combined barrier still couldn't withstand this inexplicable attack, and it exploded into starlight once again.

Such terrifying power meant that even a three-in-one barrier wouldn't be a match for it. Now, using it separately unexpectedly slowed it down.

"Shoot!"

Two giant flaming swords flew down, but suddenly exploded with a roar to everyone's horror, as if forcibly destroyed by a tremendous force, and even the firebird failed to materialize.

The remaining small fire swords followed closely behind, transforming into a rain of swords that shot towards the mysterious entity in the thick fog. The intense heat burned away the icy fog, and the group finally saw the figure in the distance.

This is a giant ice demon that is six meters tall. It is almost identical to a human, only much larger.

Countless sword lights pierced its chest. It raised its arms to try to block, but the continuous sword lights still made it stop for a couple of steps. Its arms and chest were pierced by countless fiery sword lights, but they could not hurt its core at all.

On the wall, a golden figure sprinted forward along the ground; it was Fang Si, who had activated his Alloy Body.

Sui An did not stop. All six elemental statues gathered in front of him and began to gather their power. He threw the blessing flag to Fang Si from dozens of meters away, while he himself rushed directly into the room.

"Merit! Have you accumulated enough merit?"

"2533!"

With enough merit points remaining, Sui An instantly bought the last set of materials and immediately upgraded the Goddess Spirit Summoning Talisman Statue to level 3.

He felt a little annoyed that he hadn't stayed put while the building was being promoted to level 2, and waited until he had enough merit points to upgrade it to level 3.

This level six ice demon's speed is terrifying. The detection station had just issued a warning when it had already covered more than two hundred meters, giving me very little time to react.

He looked out from inside the house and could no longer see the giant ice demon above the three-meter-high wall, but the rumbling sound was still ringing out, as if Fang Si had rushed up.

One second, two seconds — Sui An had never felt time stretching so long, but fortunately, his talismanic advancement was fast enough.

"Open it, give me the talisman!"

Almost instantly upon completing the advancement, Sui An activated the talisman. A beam of light appeared on the talisman and shot directly onto the back of Sui An's hand, where a peculiar rune rapidly condensed.

"Hurry~ hurry~ hurry~"

While waiting, Sui An connected to the elemental statue's vision and saw Fang Si being sent flying by a single blow, even crashing into his own wall.

Just as the giant ice demon was about to step forward to continue its attack, six lightning crows suddenly shot out. This charged attack, capable of knocking back and injuring a level 5 ice demon, had finally met its match.

The giant simply held his two massive, gap-ridden arms in front of him, the explosion causing him to stop in his tracks.

Only some crystalline fragments scattered with the explosion, with almost no damage to the defenses.

The giant raised its head, its dark eyes shooting straight into the territory, seemingly locking its sights on the heart of the land.

His massive legs bent slightly, his body sinking as he tried to leap up.

But the dazzling blade light struck again, forcibly interrupting his charged jump. He instinctively stopped jumping and punched out with his right fist.

The platinum-gold blade shattered like paper under Fang Si's fierce gaze.

The terrifying fist, still powerful, struck Fang Si, spraying blood as he was sent crashing into the wall like a cannonball, his fate unknown.

The giant lowered itself again, then leaped up like a meteorite, attempting to shatter the bubble-like energy shield and the core of the territory below.

Wang Hu and Fang Nian below tried to block with artillery shells, but it was all in vain. At this moment, their eyes were filled with despair.

"Return to the righteous path, protect yourself and your life."

A clear and ethereal voice echoed through the territory, and a huge beam of icy light rose from the ground, seemingly turning the entire territory into a frosty domain in the almost dazed eyes of the two.

"boom!"

The giant stomped on the ice light with a powerful strike, the force of which made the ice light, which acted as a protective shield, sway and eventually collapse silently.

The giant continued its descent, but a strange long spear suddenly shot out from Sui An's room, like a rainbow piercing the sun, and instantly struck the giant in mid-air.

The azure spear, imbued with immense power, actually sent the giant ice demon flying through the air.

But the spear's power gradually dissipated, and it fell from the sky. A figure with an ice-blue body quietly appeared in the courtyard. She seemed real yet illusory, her body woven from clear silver frost, a half-transparent, ethereal figure that blended reality and illusion.

Although it was merely an energy illusion, the long, flowing braid with its icy patterns was lifelike, the wide sleeves spread out like crane wings, and the icy blue eyes were calm and serene. It was so exquisite that it seemed as if a real person had appeared in the world, and it also fully displayed the solemnity and majesty of a goddess.

She reached out and caught the falling spear, her figure once again transforming into a blur as she passed through the wall and quietly appeared in front of the giant.

"boom!"

The moment the spirit entered, countless icy mists turned into ice crystals and fell, accompanied by a tremendous roar that even shook the ground slightly.

"Frost God Transformation!"

That clear, cold voice rang out again, and countless enormous ice pillars rose from the ground outside the wall.

The ice giant, composed of frost, was now frozen into a giant ice sculpture by an even more terrifying force of frost.

Sui An ran out of the house and quickly pulled Fang Si, who had fallen from the wall into the courtyard, onto the only stage that hadn't cooled down yet. Fang Si was covered in blood and his breathing was barely audible; his injuries were clearly extremely serious.

Sui An chose the solo performance mode this time, which has the strongest therapeutic effect on this stage.

[Solo: When the solo mode is selected when starting the stage, Starlight Water will heal a designated target individually, with greatly increased recovery speed and effect, until the time runs out.]

On the stage, all the newly condensed starlight water rushed into Fang Si's body. This healing effect quickly stabilized Fang Si's injuries, and all that remained was for her to continue recovering.

Fang Nian knelt by the stage, sobbing uncontrollably: "Boss, is there any way to save my brother?"

"Yes, we can! We definitely can!" Sui An reassured him. "If I'm not dead, I can save him!"

Sui An turned his gaze to the outer edge of the territory. His pupils suddenly turned blue, and his vision shifted, becoming the gaze of that illusory figure.

This is the vision he shared with the spirit after their minds connected.

Outside his territory, countless ice pillars stood tall, and the ground was covered in frost, like a frozen hell, which made Sui An exclaim in amazement.

The giant ice demon, who had just been frozen into an ice sculpture, was not dead yet. Due to the special nature of his body, he continued to impact the ice layer, gradually causing it to crack.

"We need to destroy his core, otherwise he won't die!"

Sui An quickly transmitted his thoughts, realizing that this spirit was not just a simple energy illusion; it possessed its own intelligence.

Sure enough, the goddess spirit, as tall as the statue, twirled her spear and leaped into the air, attempting to strike the ice demon's core.

However, the physical strength of that level six ice demon was also terrifyingly powerful, completely shattering the freezing energy and colliding with the spear with a punch.

Both figures retreated rapidly, with the Goddess Spirit being significantly weaker and retreating further.

Although the Goddess's spirit power was relatively weak, its source energy was extremely terrifying. Countless frosts spread across the Ice Demon Giant's huge fist, quickly freezing the entire fist into ice crystals and dissipating completely.

After this confrontation, Sui An roughly understood the power of the Goddess Spirit. As a summoned creature of a level three golden building, her strength and energy capacity were only about level five.

But her source energy characteristics—no, this should perhaps be called Taoist magic—are more refined and powerful in nature, even capable of freezing this level six being.

With her powerful magical abilities, her direct combat strength is enough to suppress this level 6 ice demon.

"This is incredible! Is this the combat power that comes from replacing golden buildings?!"

"The builder truly lives up to his reputation as the strongest among his peers. If a combat professional had a golden level three source energy skill, he wouldn't be able to perform to this extent. At most, he could only manage to kill a level four opponent or even fight against a level five opponent."

"Perhaps he'd need a full set of gold equipment to achieve this level of combat power."

On the outer field, the icy blue figure repeatedly darted around the giant, each shot shattering a large chunk of its body. Her graceful movements always allowed her to evade the giant's attacks, and each strike caused ice flowers to bloom, eventually engulfing the entire giant and scattering it into countless ice crystals.

An ice core the size of a human head was revealed, shattered by a single blow from the spear, and a ball of light shining with purple radiance quietly emerged.

Just as the spirit was about to continue its attack, Sui An's eyes lit up, and he quickly shouted, "Stop!"

Sui An's command seemed to have an absolute effect on her; the long spear stopped when it was only half a foot away from the purple orb.

Sui An shouted again, "Bring that purple orb of light back!"

With a wave of her hand, Lu Ling sent strands of icy blue power into threads that wrapped around the purple orb and flew back into her hand. She then traversed back into her territory in a few steps.

Sui An took the purple orb from Lu Ling's hand. He didn't rush to examine it, but instead brought his face closer.

But the spirit suddenly turned its head to the other side in a very human-like way.

"???"

"What do you mean? You're looking down on me!"

Sui An was stunned. Could there be the goddess's consciousness inside this spirit?

"I just heard your voice, can we talk?"

Sui An tried to communicate with the spirit of the talisman, and to his surprise, a voice actually came from it.

"I am but a wisp of will imbued with fighting spirit, barely enough to sustain the spirit in battle."

It was still that same cold voice, and her expression hardly changed as she spoke.

Sui An was still somewhat unwilling to give up: "Then what's your original name?"

"My name is Shen He~" was still an extremely simple reply.

"Shen He————" The memories in Sui An's mind were rippled slightly, but no matter how hard he tried to recall, he could not remember the reason that made him feel something.

"Shen He, what else can you do besides fighting? For example, can you save him?"

Sui An abandoned his recollection and turned to look at Fang Si, who had stopped coughing up blood. His injuries were quite severe, and even with the strongest treatment, progress was not fast at the moment.

"No~" Shen He replied calmly again, "My power contains the power of the Lone Demon, which cannot heal people, but can only harm them."

"Alright, let him recover slowly then. Don't worry, Fang Nian, as long as he doesn't die on the spot, he can be saved."

Seeing Fang Nian's anxiety, Sui An comforted her again, which made Wang Hu's expression relax a bit.

"Thank you, boss!" Fang Nian didn't say much, but secretly wiped away her tears.

Sui An didn't intend to offer any more comfort; you have to adapt to this world.

Anyone could face such a day, and I was no exception.

Sui An and Shen He stood guard by the stage. Fortunately, their energy shields had not broken, otherwise their territory would have been completely covered by the ice mist.

The Thousand Winds Barrier is taking too long to recover; I'm afraid I won't be able to get a good night's sleep tonight.

He retrieved the sword star from the sky. He wondered who this level 6 ice demon had come for tonight. Was it for his fire-attribute sword star, or for this frost spirit?

In the following time, Sui An asked a lot of questions, but Lu Ling did not answer most of them, perhaps because she did not know how to answer them.

However, a few questions were asked, such as how far she could be from him. The answer was an infinite distance, as long as there was enough time.

However, once the distance exceeds one kilometer, Sui An's mental connection with Shen He will fail, and he will be unable to share vision, and naturally, he will also be unable to transmit his commands through thought.

For example, if Shenhe's strength is depleted or his body is damaged, he may dissipate prematurely, so the actual battle time may not be fifteen minutes.

After gathering a set of information, Sui An discovered that apart from its long cooldown, this Goddess Spirit Talisman had virtually no drawbacks.

Oh, and it's also very expensive!

The summoning talisman consumed nearly 360 Originium. If you remove the enhancement effect of his level 2 reduction in the cost of territory buildings, that's 400 Originium.

There are also basic source materials, which should have consumed about ten portions.
