Tang Dynasty Demon Suppression Division

Before the words were even finished, two enormous waves of snow surged down from the hillsides on either side, roaring like giant dragons and cascading down with overwhelming force.

"Quick! Protect the carriage!"

The speed was so fast that it gave everyone no time to react. Amidst the swirling snow, the entire team was instantly swept away by the snow waves.

Li Yuan leaped up, picked up the carriage carrying Lord Wang with one hand, and flew forward. When he put the carriage on the mountain and looked back, all that was left behind was a vast expanse of white, and nothing could be seen.

How is that possible?

Where are the teachers? Where are Chu Yunhe and the others?

Even if those ordinary soldiers and civil officials couldn't escape the avalanche, how could Liu Hongyan, with her skills, possibly be buried under the snow?

A fierce wind howled, whipping up a flurry of snowflakes. The entire world seemed to consist only of ice and snow, and everything else vanished, including the carriage he had just rescued, which had also disappeared without a trace.

"It's a domain!"

Li Yuan suddenly realized that he had entered a icy and snowy area, and the other party was coming for him.

He stopped trying to find his companions and instead spread his divine sense to perceive the surrounding situation.

This snowy region seemed to possess a strange power that compressed his divine sense to an extremely short extent, allowing him to barely perceive a radius of about ten feet.

After entering the Dao Realm, one can cultivate one's own domain. Within one's own domain, it is as if a king has descended, and the life and death of plants and animals are all in one's hands.

However, most of these areas are not large, generally only a few feet in diameter, and their duration is not long.

If you encounter someone with a higher cultivation level than yourself, your domain simply cannot withstand the pressure and will collapse very quickly.

But the snowfield before him was so vast and boundless, and without any flaws, that he hadn't even noticed when he had been enveloped in it.

Of course, this person took advantage of the power of heaven and earth, and this glacier and snow mountain is the best place for expansion in the snowy region.

The opponent's cultivation level is at least at the late stage of the Demon Queen realm, and it seems unlikely that things will turn out well today.

"Come out," Li Yuan said in a deep voice. "Since you've led me here, why hide?"

No one answered.

Only the wind howled through the valley, stirring up a sky full of snow mist, and the whole world was as quiet as the beginning of time.

Since entering the Dao Realm, although he has fought against many demon emperors, he has never encountered such a powerful opponent, nor has he ever experienced a domain battle.

Li Yuan stopped his futile attempts to observe his surroundings; he closed his eyes and heightened his senses to the extreme.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and slashed at an inconspicuous snowflake with his sword.

As the blade flashed, everything around them changed.

The fierce winds and heavy snow had vanished, replaced by a vast, pristine white glacier, shimmering with a crystal-clear blue. He was surrounded by ice, as if he were trapped inside an iceberg.

Li Yuan's heart sank.

Instead of breaking through the snowy realm, he entered another illusion. The opponent's methods were extremely sophisticated, even beyond his comprehension.

However, this only fueled his competitive spirit.

"You have good eyesight. You saw through the flaw in the snow realm at a glance. It seems that Mo Wentian's successor is indeed extraordinary."

A voice came from the depths of the glacier, clear and distant. Li Yuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a figure emerging from the depths of the ice, slowly approaching.

It was a man whose entire body seemed to be sculpted from ice, with skin as white as snow and hair that was a translucent ice-blue color, reflecting tiny glimmers of light.

He wore an ice-blue robe, the hem of which resembled a flowing glacier. Most striking were his eyes, cold as a millennium-old glacier, devoid of any emotion.

He came stepping through the void, each step causing the surrounding glaciers to tremble slightly.

The newcomer stopped in front of Li Yuan and quietly looked him over.

"You're Li Yuan?"

A sudden thought flashed through Li Yuan's mind, and he suddenly remembered what Mr. Mo had said before: that he had been ambushed and besieged by the White Ape Demon Saint and others in the snow mountain.

"You are the Mystic Ice Demon Emperor!"

Xuanbing Demon Emperor is one of the three regents of the Demon Court, and also the strongest among the three. However, he is aloof and does not care about worldly affairs, and has always lived in seclusion in the Snow Mountain Ice Palace.

The war between the demon race and the Tang Dynasty lasted for seven years, and the Xuanbing Demon Emperor never showed his face.

Li Yuan's pupils contracted slightly.

Now he suddenly appears in front of me, and his first move is to attack the Snowfield. What is he up to?

Moreover, his strength is probably greater than rumored, and he even has the faint feeling of a demon emperor.

"Yes, I am Xuanbing."

Xuanbing Demon Emperor nodded slightly: "Mo Wentian is a worthy opponent. After my battle with him back then, I gained some insights and went into seclusion until now. Ironically, this misfortune turned into a blessing, allowing me to glimpse a higher level."

As he spoke, his cold eyes fixed on Li Yuan: "I've heard that you've killed several demon emperors at such a young age. I just happened to be passing by today and couldn't help but want to see just how capable you are, someone even Zhu Yan fears."

"Yeah?"

Li Yuan looked at him warily.

The Xuanbing Demon Emperor sneered: "If you can leave my icy and snowy domain, I will escort you out of the snow mountain."

Having said that, he gave Li Yuan no room to bargain, and with a gentle flick of his long sleeve, the entire glacier suddenly began to spin.

Countless ice crystals burst forth with dazzling light, transforming into countless silvery-white rays of light that swept towards Li Yuan like a waterfall cascading down from the sky.

This is not real light, but the power of ice concentrated to the extreme, each ray of light carrying a low temperature enough to freeze mountains and rivers.

The temperature in the void dropped sharply, and even the white breath exhaled instantly froze into ice crystals.

Li Yuan dared not be negligent, and drew his nameless sword, slashing out with a single blow.

"Clang!"

The crimson blade light met the swirling snow, and the moment the scorching flames collided with the ice crystals, it produced a crisp sound like a snapping string. The flames were quickly swallowed by the ice, turning into wisps of white mist.

The cold air spread up the blade, making his fingers numb, and he had to take a few steps back to dissipate the force.

Indeed, very strong.

He truly deserves to be called a half-step demon emperor.

Moreover, Li Yuan could tell that the opponent was not going all out.

The Xuanbing Demon Emperor looked at him quietly, a hint of approval flashing in his radiant eyes: "With the power of the early stage of the Dao, you were able to withstand one of my attacks without retreating. You do have some skill."

"But if that's all the strength they have, it's not enough to make me take them seriously."

He raised his hand again, and thousands of ice crystals instantly condensed into a huge ice sword, which stretched across the sky, carrying a suffocating pressure, and slowly pressed down on Li Yuan.

Before the ice sword even fell, the chill emanating from its blade caused a layer of frost to form on Li Yuan's eyebrows and hair.

He gritted his teeth, his internal energy surging wildly as he tried to resist the chill that threatened to freeze even his soul.

His mind raced; in a simple contest of strength, he was no match for the Xuanbing Demon Emperor.

To break through the opponent's icy and snowy domain, we must think of another method.

With this in mind, he closed his eyes, gave up on confronting it head-on, emptied his mind, and entered a state of clarity.

His consciousness pierced through the biting cold and touched the very essence of this glacier.

time?

The seemingly impenetrable glacier is the result of hundreds of millions of years of accumulation.

This seemingly unchanging glacier is also slowly changing over time. As the world changes, nothing can escape the erosion of time.

Li Yuan's heartstrings were trembling.

The power that had been dormant deep within the body for so long finally found an outlet.

He suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils flashing with a strange light.

The light was like the unfathomable starry sky, and it seemed as if thousands of stars were flowing in his eyes.

His aura changed.

"time……"

Li Yuan softly uttered two words.

He stretched out his hand, his five fingers spread, and a tiny ball of light appeared in his palm.
