The old man smiled lightly and said:
"No one knows the secret of the core of the ice lake. No one has entered the core of the ice lake. However, someone once started from this dividing line and walked three hundred meters inside. This is a limit that no one can surpass so far. .”
"Who walked three hundred meters inside?"
"The Crazy Saint Thanos."
"ah?"
Yang Xiao was very surprised. He did not expect that the Mad Saint Thanos had also practiced in Ice Lake Purgatory and was the creator of the records here.
Yang Xiao came to the old man's side and said:
"Senior, can you tell me the story of Thanos and the Mad Saint in the Ice Lake?"
The old man looked at Yang Xiao and nodded.
"Five hundred years ago, the Crazy Saint Thanos cultivated in Shendu Academy and reached the peak of the emperor level. In order to break through to the saint level as soon as possible, he entered the front,"
When I said this, I suddenly asked Yang Xiao,
"Little doll, do you know what an ice worm is?"
"Didn't you just say that ice worms are monsters?"
"hehe!"
The old man smiled slightly and said,
"You try to go there and catch an ice worm and come back, but you can't run too far."
Yang Xiao was stunned, stood up, and prepared to cross the dividing line.
Xiao Qingliu on the side said eagerly:
"Yang Xiao, be careful."
The old man smiled and said:
"Don't worry, there's no danger within a short distance."
Yang Xiao concentrated and held his breath, walked across the dividing line, and walked inside.
After walking only a few meters, he felt that the extremely cold air here was much stronger. Even though he had already developed the genetic defense ability to resist the severe cold, he still felt cold all over.
The cold air pierces the body's defense layer, like a steel needle piercing the skin, and slowly penetrates into the body.
Yang Xiao's body trembled and he got an idea.
"Whoosh!"
A translucent ice insect about three to four centimeters long, as white as jade, suddenly flew towards Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao instantly felt a powerful murderous aura.
His intuition told him that this was definitely not an ordinary insect. It was not an exaggeration to say it was a monster. Even ordinary emperor-level monsters could not produce that powerful murderous aura.
Yang Xiao stretched out his hand and grabbed the ice insect.
The old man in the distance looked at Yang Xiao with a slightly nervous expression.
Xiao Qingliu suddenly took out the Ice Soul Sword from the space ring and was ready to rush over at any time.
When Yang Xiao saw the ice worm entering the range of his palm, he immediately closed his palm and held the ice worm.
"Snapped!"
With a soft sound, the ice worm exploded instantly.
Yang Xiao instantly felt a bone-piercing coldness in his right hand, and his entire right hand and his small arm lost all feeling.
An extremely cold energy entered the body along the arm.
Yang Xiao almost froze on the spot.
Fortunately, he reacted in time, and a protective energy was instantly activated in his body, which counteracted the extremely cold energy. Especially the three-headed beast totem in his body shone brightly. The entire ocean of evolutionary energy heated up, and a warm current rushed through it instantly. whole body.
Yang Xiao teleported and instantly retreated behind the dividing line.
Xiao Qingliu quickly supported Yang Xiao and asked nervously:
"Yang Xiao, how are you?"
Yang Xiao's entire right arm was like an ice sculpture, covered by a thick layer of ice.
The white-haired old man took a look and said:
"Don't be nervous, just give him a Essence and Blood Pill and he'll be fine."
Xiao Qingliu took out the Blood Essence Pill and was about to feed it to Yang Xiao. Unexpectedly, a burst of heat energy in Yang Xiao's body rushed to his right arm. The ice covering his right arm suddenly shattered and evaporated with a "click" sound. ,disappear.
The white-haired old man's expression changed, he said "Huh" and looked at Yang Xiao, full of shock.
Yang Xiao took a deep breath and once again used his consciousness to guide the heat flow of the energy sea throughout his body, and the extremely cold air in his body disappeared completely.
"Little doll, what state are you in?"
"I have reached the intermediate level of the emperor, but I have not yet broken through to the advanced level of the emperor."
The old man heard this and said in surprise:
"It's impossible. You just used your own strength to break through the ice insect's extreme cold attack in one fell swoop. Without the cultivation of an advanced emperor-level realm, you simply can't do it."
"impossible?"
The white-haired old man was very confused.
Xiao Qingliu asked,
"Senior, why do you say that?"
"I have been here for more than a hundred years, and I have never seen a person below the imperial level who can resist the ice attack of ice insects so quickly. You are the first."
Yang Xiao came to the old man's side, looked at his right hand, remembered the ice insect's attack just now, and asked,
"Senior, this ice insect's attack is very strange."
"Haha, tell me, what's weird?"
"The ice worm's attack is not a simple attack. When the ice worm exploded, I felt a genetic evolution energy entering my body. However, this energy was very cold and almost killed me. It was very scary."
"Well, you are right. In fact, these ice worms have lived in the ice lake purgatory for hundreds of years, devouring the evolutionary energy here all year round. As time goes by, the ice worms themselves have become a creature containing powerful evolutionary energy. object,
The power contained in an ice insect is equivalent to practicing meditation here for ten days. "
"Ah, so powerful?"
The old man smiled slightly,
"Evolutionaries above the imperial level can directly use the abilities of these ice worms, such as swallowing, to convert the ice worms' abilities into their own energy.
At that time, the mad sage Thanos was eager for quick success and he wanted to break through to the holy level as soon as possible. He entered and swallowed a large number of ice worms. Finally, he encountered an even larger ice layer in front. As a result, he was backlashed by the terrifying energy of the large ice worms and almost died. "
"Ah, that's it."
Yang Xiao thought for a while and asked,
"What happened next? How did Thanos solve the problem after he was back-bitten by the ice worm?"
"The Mad Saint Thanos left the root of his disease. Every once in a while, his whole body would get chills and fall into a state of freezing. The Mad Saint Thanos later re-seized three geniuses one after another, and then gradually solved this remaining problem. "
Yang Xiao now finally understood why Thanos didn't attack the Witch Star himself. It turned out that he was back-bitten by ice worms, leaving sequelae, and he has been healing his wounds to solve the root cause of the disease.
As the old man spoke, his body suddenly flashed and floated away, entering dozens of meters inside the dividing line. He stretched out his hand, grabbed an ice worm, quickly put it into his mouth, and then returned to the original place like lightning, with his eyes slightly closed. In the midst of cultivation.
Yang Xiao turned his head and took a look. The old man's entire face was covered with a layer of ice and his face was pale.
Obviously, forcefully devouring ice worms is a very painful thing.
Yang Xiao suddenly had a thought in his mind. He rushed across the dividing line in a flash, spotted an ice worm, stretched out his hand to grab it, and then teleported back to the original place and sat down.
"Snapped!"
With a soft sound, the ice bug in his right hand exploded. Yang Xiao's entire fist and arm were instantly frozen, and the surrounding atmosphere instantly dropped by dozens of degrees.
