Above the sky.
Li Yuan stepped on the Qiankun Ding, held the Thunder Bow, looked down at the several guardians of Bihai Pavilion, and shouted: "Guys, I'm afraid you have forgotten where this place is."
"What's the meaning?"
Li Yuan shook his head and sneered: "Elsewhere, I'm afraid I will die today.
"But here, I am a god-like existence. What can a mere little blood snake do to me?"
After glancing at the hazy gray sky, Li Yuan's eyes moved downwards. In the distance, there were undulating mountains, crisscrossing ravines, and floating blue water and ice clouds.
Lightning surged out from under his feet, hitting the air, causing ripples, and creating a sonic boom at extremely fast speeds.
He brought a long thunderbolt behind him and rushed straight towards the floating ice clouds, followed closely behind by the Qiankun Ding, which was emitting nine colors of divine light.
"Not good. That kid wants to die with us. He wants to anger the ice demon cicada. Run away..."
The silver-haired Yuanzhe looked at Li Yuan's figure, his voice trembled, a look of horror climbed onto his face, his liver and gallbladder trembled with fear, and his hair and bones changed color.
With a chill in his bones, he took the other two Yuan practitioners and fled frantically towards Xueyue Lake.
Bingyun was already within Li Yuan's shooting range, and his body flashed continuously in the air, shooting thunder arrows.
"Boom boom boom——"
Above the water-blue ice clouds, thunderclouds kept appearing out of thin air. Countless electric rays of light poured out one after another, attacking the ice clouds. The piercing chirping of cicadas made the world tremble.
Ice clouds squirmed and dispersed, numbering at least a million, forming a canopy that blocked everything.
The energy blood snake shrouded in green mist sprang out from the snowdrift, spat out a snake message, and attacked Li Yuan, chasing after him.
Seeing this, Li Yuan put away his big bow, and with a thought, four earth-shattering blades appeared in front of him out of thin air, attacking the energy blood snake.
The thunder blades streaked across the body of the blood snake one after another, but still did not slow down the latter. Li Yuan could only turn into lightning and fly away in the direction of Xueyue Lake.
After a while, the demonic cicada passed by and drowned the energy blood snake chasing Li Yuan.
"boom--"
The huge energy impact directly shook the Ice Demon Cicada away, and the energy blood snake rushed out, struggled to get rid of it, and chased Li Yuan.
"Can't this kill you?"
A look of surprise appeared on Li Yuan's handsome face.
"The Yuan magic formations used by the three peak Nirvana masters at the expense of their own longevity cannot be underestimated."
"I'm afraid that only if I advance to the Yuanshen realm can I destroy this thing."
Looking at the ice evil cicada blocking the sky and the sun behind him, Li Yuan secretly sighed: "Huh! This is just a side dish. It depends on whether you can withstand the next wave."
He turned around and looked at the three Protectors of Bihai Pavilion who were running away with all their strength. A strange arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he immediately touched the Yun Ring on his finger.
"This kid has angered so many Ice Fiends and Demonic Cicadas. Even a strong Yuan Shen realm can only wait for death."
The silver-haired Yuanzhe looked back and faced the monster beasts flying across the sky. His heart was filled with chills and his face was stiff.
The two guardians on the left and right also turned their heads, feeling despair in their hearts.
In order to cast the Blue Sea Blood Snake Seal, they consumed a huge amount of energy, and the flying speed of the imperial weapon was not very fast at this time.
The short-haired Protector of Bihai Pavilion looked pale, with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes, and comforted him: "He himself has to die."
As his words fell, he saw a figure in a blue robe standing on the Nine-Colored Divine Cauldron in the distance, shrouded in body-protecting energy, throwing out a half-foot-tall dark golden five-petal lotus.
"How could he have the Five Treasures Dark Lotus Lamp from my pavilion?" Another Yuan practitioner recognized the mysterious treasure Li Yuan sacrificed at a glance.
Suddenly, a barrier was formed with Li Yuan as the center and a radius of five miles.
"Chichi——"
The densely packed ice demon cicadas, like ocean waves, impacted on the barrier, rapidly shrinking its range and causing the surrounding air to tremble.
"I was careless. I didn't expect that a low-grade mysterious treasure could have such miraculous effects. When we left the cabinet, we never thought of it."
"I'm not willing to give in! That was my pavilion's mysterious treasure, but it actually saved him."
"Let's go! I hope Elder Gambling can arrive."
Looking at the ice demon cicada like a wild wave, the silver-haired Yuanzhe said one last word, then turned his head forward and flew as fast as he could.
When he said this, his heart was filled with despair, and he was just comforting himself, knowing that even gambling Hong Tao would be helpless in the face of so many ice demons and cicadas.
Not far behind Li Yuan, the huge energy blood snake came into contact with the attacking Ice Demon Cicada. It was like a firefly meeting a blizzard, making a shrill scream and quickly dissipating.
With just one breath, the ferocious blood snake summoned by the Yuan Shu Array was directly submerged in the sky by the tide of beasts.
"The aura of the blood snake has disappeared, damn the ice demon cicada."
The short-haired protector of Bihai Pavilion, who was running away with all his strength, shouted angrily.
The hearts of the three people immediately sank, fearing that they would really die here.
Li Yuan did not think about whether the other party could escape, and he had no intention to think about it. His eyes were fixed on the shrinking barrier formed by the Five Treasures Dark Lotus Lamp.
The Ice Devil Cicada was like a huge wave, hitting the space barrier, and the small figure was like an inconspicuous rock under the huge wave.
Under such violent power, it is difficult to deal with an inferior mysterious treasure.
Secretly praying in his heart, he hoped that the barrier could last until the Ice Demon Cicada army passed by.
………
The other side.
Gambling Hongtao, leading Qiu Yuyan and the remaining Yuan Zhe from Baiwufang, were chasing Li Yuan in the direction of his escape.
Suddenly, three green and white dots appeared in the ravine in front of them.
"The Bihai Pavilion protector is still very powerful, and he was able to capture that kid so quickly."
Although they were far away, Qiu Yuyan recognized the three guardians of Bihai Pavilion at a glance.
In fact, there is no need to identify them. Apart from them, there are no other human beings in this place.
Hearing this, Gambling Hong Tao frowned. At normal speed, he would have been able to clearly see the opponent's figure. It was obvious that their speed was extremely slow.
"boom--"
A sonic boom suddenly sounded, and the energy in Hong Tao's body surged. In an instant, he left Qiu Yuyan's team several hundred feet away, and fled towards Xueyue Lake.
"What happened? Elder Bet!"
Qiu Yuyan felt bad about Du Hongtao's sudden move. The Yuan Power in Yuan Dan roared out without any reservation, then turned around and flew back.
"Bang——"
Qiu Yuyan staggered in the air when Gambling Hongtao struck out with his palm. Although she avoided the force of the palm, she was still hit by the energy.
Qiu Yuyan, who was already injured, could not completely shed her energy and spit out a mouthful of bright red blood.
In the blink of an eye, gambling Hong Tao turned into a small dot in front of Qiu Yuyan's eyes and disappeared.
"Master Qiu, please help me resist for a while. I will be grateful."
The sound of betting on Hong Tao floated in the distance and kept echoing.
Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed and her face was pale. Qiu Yuyan looked back and saw a large amount of water-blue ice clouds, mixed with black evil energy, pouring out of the ravine behind the three guardians of Bihai Pavilion. Like a tsunami, it swept over the three guardians in an instant.
"It's over!"
A trace of unwillingness appeared on Qiu Yuyan's face, and her heart was filled with despair and fear.
In order to help Bihai Pavilion find Xueyue Lake, Baiwufang lost many powerful people, but she did not expect that it would end like this.
One of the four great cicada kings in Qianjue Cicada Ridge, so beautiful, has fallen here today.
The Yuan practitioners of Baiwufang all looked at Qiu Yuyan with desperate eyes. They had been active in the Qianjue Chan Ridge area, and they all knew the final outcome in their hearts.
"We must not die at the hands of these beasts."
The Yuanzhi shouted in grief and anger, and then directly blew himself up.
"Boom boom boom——"
Immediately afterwards, other Yuan beings also exploded one after another, adding a brief burst of colorful color to this gray world.
………
"Uuuuuu——"
"Kaka——"
Cracks began to appear in the barrier around Li Yuan.
The dark golden petals on the Five Treasure Dark Lotus Cup began to fall off one by one.
When the last petal fell, the barrier, which had shrunk to more than ten feet in size, finally could no longer hold up. It made a crisp sound and cracked into countless fragments, and the ice devil and cicadas swarmed in.
"You bunch of beasts, get out of here."
Li Yuan shouted, activated his Yuan Power, exploded with endless thunder, wrapped his body tightly, and swung out a palm.
The huge thunder cloud handprint pressed down on the Ice Demonic Cicada, and the strong devouring force caused the Ice Demonic Cicada to scatter layer by layer.
Li Yuan stepped on the Nine-Colored Divine Cauldron and rushed forward. While constantly using his Thunder Cloud Hand, he controlled the four earth-shattering blades to keep spinning around, like four small thunder dragons, swimming back and forth.
There are always some ice evil cicadas that ignore the devouring power, and attack them, but they are all killed by the earth evil blade.
Fortunately, we are already at the end of the wave of ice monsters and cicada beasts.
When Li Yuan was exhausted, he finally broke out of the ice cloud.
Looking back at the ice clouds floating towards Xueyue Lake, he murmured: "I wonder if I can kill Gambling Hongtao. If he breaks through to the Yuanshen realm, he will have to avoid the people in Bihai Pavilion when walking on the mainland from now on."
Ling said quietly in his heart: "If you consume too much of the life-devouring power of the spirit pattern, it may backfire on your lifespan. Find a place to recuperate first.
"Now, with the growth of your divine bones, I am afraid that my four-story body will not be able to suppress you. In your current state, you will fall into a period of weakness."
Li Yuan nodded and said: "Yes. Once you have fully recovered, go to the place where the three Bihai Pavilion protectors fell and find the Yun Ring and the Ice Jade Gauntlet."
He looked at his scarred body, sighed and shook his head. He used his remaining energy to control the Qiankun Cauldron and fled towards the ravine ahead.
………
Beside Xueyue Lake, there are vertical cliffs.
Outside a cave somewhere, blood stained a large area of snow.
There was a bonfire beating in the cave, and sitting next to it was an old man with a slender figure and a gloomy face.
"Damn it! I didn't expect that I was so well prepared this time and almost died."
Gambling Hongtao looked at his empty left arm, there was still blood on the broken sleeve, and kept roaring and cursing.
Although he did not lose his life, he lost his left arm during the fight with the Ice Demon Cicada.
"With the loss of three guardians, the force that was finally cultivated was also... ah... we must break through to the Yuanshen realm, otherwise, we will be severely punished when we return to the pavilion."
………
The thundering figure flew quickly through the ravines of Qianjue Cicada Ridge.
Li Yuan stopped in mid-air, the protective energy around him shrank, and he looked down at a foot-wide cave on the mountain wall below.
"It seems that no monsters have lived there for a long time. My body is no longer strong enough to continue looking for a place to recuperate. This is the place."
His body swayed and he quickly entered the cave.
After passing through a passage of about ten feet, we reached the interior of the cave.
The space in the cave is not a residence for large and high-level monsters. It is enough for one person to use, which makes Li Yuan very satisfied.
Take out a dozen bright moon stones from Yun Ring, pour them into Yuanli, throw them on the ground or inlay them on the cave wall.
Suddenly, the dark cave became as bright as day.
The wind roared outside the cave, passing by in waves, bringing a bit of cold air into the cave.
Looking outside the cave, Li Yuan thought for a while and asked Ling to help engrave the air-locking formation and use the Xuanyuan Stone to provide energy to keep it intact.
With the blessing of the Yuan Formation, you are not afraid of being discovered and can rest assured.
Since Ling helped break through the Five Elements Sealing Formation, his soul power was consumed a lot, and he was probably going to have to sleep for a while this time.
After taking a few pills and taking out some top-grade Yuan stones, Li Yuan sat cross-legged and slowly operated the Yuan-Building Gong to suppress the backlash of the devouring power. At the same time, the depleted Yuan force in his body also began to recover little by little.
The pale face gradually turned rosy.
………
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes and checked the injury.
With his current strength, he simply cannot cope with the Five Elements Sealing Formation, and it will take several days for these injuries to be fully recovered.
Due to the healing ability of the life spine, other Yuan people would definitely not be able to recover in less than two or three years.
The excessive use of the power of devouring made the recovery of the energy in Li Yuan's body very slow, and it took several days to return to its prime.
"If it weren't for the Black Gold Shield and the Five Treasures Dark Lotus Lamp, I might have really perished here.
"In order to create a person in the Yuanshen realm, Bihai Pavilion really doesn't hesitate to pay any price."
After Li Yuan checked the injuries on his body, he kept thinking about the thrilling and life-or-death scenes that happened a few days ago.
Each of the eight ten-pattern element formations requires a piece of silk with two orifices.
It is conceivable that gambling Hong Tao's formation with eight five-element sealing formations is equivalent to destroying a high-grade mysterious weapon.
Fortunately, it was only a ten-grain elemental formation. If there were a few more elemental patterns, even Li Yuan, who was holding a black gold shield, would not be able to resist it.
The more elemental patterns there are in the elemental array, the greater its power.
When the Yuan pattern reaches a hundred levels, three orifices pattern silk is needed.
The value of each piece of silk with three orifices is an astronomical figure.
In other words, if you use patterns and silk to lay out an elemental array that absorbs the vitality of heaven and earth and runs on its own, a large amount of three-aperture patterns and silk will be used.
This reflects the preciousness of the array master.
The formation master directly inscribes the elemental patterns and arranges the elemental formation, which only takes some time.
Yuan practitioners who are not array masters must use pattern silk to arrange the array.
To set up a self-operating Yuan Formation, it would take tens of millions of Xuanyuan Stones.
Li Yuan stayed in the cave for another ten days until his body fully recovered before leaving the cave.
He didn't know whether Gambling Hong Tao was dead or alive, but the first thing he did when he came out of the cave was not to gamble Hong Tao.
The spirit was sleeping. He relied on his powerful soul power and spent several days carefully searching every inch of land for hundreds of miles.
Finally, Huang Tian paid off and not only found the Yun Ring left by the three guardians of Bihai Pavilion, but also the Yun Ring left by many Yuan practitioners of Baiwufang.
One of the Yun Rings also contains the volume of fourth-level Yuan Shu, Yuyuan Bihai, from Qianxue Auction House.
The ice jade gauntlet, a high-grade mysterious treasure, is also in the bag.
Li Yuan suddenly remembered that the place where thousands of kings fell in Qianjue Chan Ridge should also have many treasures.
"We have to find a way to get the Hundred Illusion Soul Crystals, and then go to the place where Thousand Kings fell."
Looking towards the direction of Xueyue Lake, Li Yuan muttered to himself, pondered for a moment, and then set off directly.
………
On the bank of Xueyue Lake, the twilight green veil is suspended in the air, emitting blood-red light.
The area for miles around was shrouded in blood-red light, which was particularly abrupt in the vast white world.
There is no snow on the ground directly under the Taiyin Biyoushi. There is a small pool of blood, surrounded by blood mist.
The Blood Pond is connected to Xueyue Lake through a stream.
The lake water slowly flows into the blood pool, making up for the blood that is constantly disappearing in the pool.
In the center of countless bones, a one-armed old man sat cross-legged, shrouded in blood mist, with the surrounding energy undulating and flickering, and his aura was terrifying.
A huge amount of energy surged in the blood pool, gathering crazily towards the one-armed old man.
Halfway up a snowy peak more than ten miles away from Xueyue Lake, a young man in blue robe observed the lakeside for a long time.
"Looking at his posture, with the help of the half-step life spirit realm of the two people in Xueyue Lake, maybe he can really advance to the Yuanshen realm, it should be within the next day or two."
Ling's voice sounded in Li Yuan's heart.
Hearing this, Li Yuan immediately frowned, his expression was solemn, and he murmured: "He is so courageous. He dares to break through here alone without a protector."
"You want to get the Hundred Illusion Soul Crystals. The Giant Swallowing Fish is a problem. You must be careful. Once provoked, you may not be able to escape." Ling reminded.
Li Yuan thought for a while and said, "What should I do? Do you have any good ideas?"
"Help." Ling murmured.
"Help?" Li Yuanyi was startled, "Do you have one?"
"You already have a ready-made helper, do you need any help?" Ling teased.
Staring at Gambling Hong Tao in the blood pool, a sly smile appeared on Li Yuan's face: "Hey! Let him deal with that beast. I just can't beat them."
"Be careful."
"Know."
