Chapter 774: 774
The surroundings of the location of the seal were very simple and ordinary . Snowflakes, which filled the entire sky, were slowly drifting down, giving the land a dignified appearance .
Li Yunmu arrived at the location of seal, feeling more or less the same as when he had arrived at the location of the fire seal in the Ancient Lands .
The only difference was that there was a warm presence around the fire seal, while Li Yunmu was feeling ice-cold right then .
He had come to the location of the seal alone, without calling for anyone’s help . That way, he could deal with the guardian divine or devil beast freely . If he had brought anyone over, he would have needed to care and worry about their safety .
It would distract him, making him lose focus while dealing with the ancient divine or devil beast .
Li Yunmu took a deep breath and suddenly sensed that it was extremely cold in the cave where the seal was located . A stream of air was pressing toward him .
It didn’t seem to have come from the ice outside, however . Instead, it felt more like a breath of air exhaled by a living organism .
When Li Yunmu sensed the presence of a strange power within it, he noticed it flowing from a divine beast guarding the seal . Its body was completely concealed under the white snowflakes, but from the shape of the body, it appeared to be a lion .
Was it the guardian beast of the water seal? Who would have expected that it would be a snow lion!
The snow lion suddenly broke out of his cocoon and came out . It opened its bloody mouth and pounced on Li Yunmu .
Strangely, the snow lion didn’t seem like a living creature, but more like an illusion, and Li Yunmu made a calculated guess .
“Could it be that this isn’t the guardian divine beast of this seal, but just a substitute?”
Inside his body, the system praised him . [I hadn’t expected that after experiencing so many things, you would finally become intelligent!]
“This really is a substitute? Then what about the ancient beast who was supposed to guard this seal? Could it be that I don’t need to fight any guardian beast here?”
The system shook its head . [I am also not clear about this, but that snow lion was definitely created by a divine beast . If you believe that just by defeating this snow lion you can open the seal, you’re expecting this to be too simple . ]
Li Yunmu couldn’t help but nod after hearing the system’s words . He then began to search for the presence of the guardian divine beast relying on his absolute perception .
Suddenly, he felt a presence quickly approaching him . His eyes went wide, and he quickly said to the system, “Is that what you were talking about?”
A creature resembling a milu 1 appeared in front of them, but its external appearance was quite strange . Li Yunmu couldn’t understand how could such a creature survive in the Land of Ice?
The system suddenly reminded him, [Although I am not very clear about this, you must be extremely careful . Don’t let any accident happen! What you must do is to protect yourself first!]

Li Yunmu nodded . “I understand! But this divine beast seems to be different from the black qilin . Is it possible that this creature is the legendary milu?”
The system was slightly startled . [No, it’s just another illusion created by that divine beast . It isn’t the real divine beast!]
“Repulsive, this guy has really concealed itself deeply!”
Li Yunmu quickly destroyed the snow lion and milu . They turned into a mass of smoke, but just as the system had said, the seal still didn’t show any signs of opening .
“Where exactly is the divine beast?”
Li Yunmu searched through the ice cave once more, but still couldn’t find any traces of the divine beast .
Finally, it was the system who detected its location . When Li Yunmu looked at the divine beast, he was startled .
“What is that?”
The divine beast’s body was completely covered in ice and its appearance couldn’t be seen . Upon observing it, the system paused for a moment . The divine beast seemed to be attempting to shift its body and leave the location of the water seal .

“It seems to be trapped!”
Li Yunmu was startled . Trapped by who? Shouldn’t the divine beast supposed to be guarding the seal? How could it be trapped suddenly?
Seeing the suspicious look on Li Yunmu’s face, the system said, [It is simply perfect that it is bound up . We should quickly kill it, and the seal will open up . ]
The system’s words startled Li Yunmu . He knew that it was ruthless since the start, but he didn’t expect that it wouldn’t even let a divine beast go . Previously, he had to stake his all to defeat the black qilin, or else the fire seal wouldn’t have opened . But right then, when he arrived at the water seal, he encountered an enemy who could be easily killed, and Li Yunmu was caught somewhat off guard .
“It doesn’t seem like it has any intention of staying here to guard the seal though, so wouldn’t it be better to just let it go?!”
[Release it? As things stand, if we release it, we won’t be able to open that seal!]
Li Yunmu frowned . “Isn’t it that as long as the divine beast leaves, we will have the opportunity to open the seal? Then what’s the problem here?”
The system paused for a moment before saying, [This divine beast is different from other creatures . It seems to have already fused with the Land of Ice . If we release it, its influence may help us eliminate the seal, but it’s better to be safe than sorry . ]
The system’s words made Li Yunmu take a deep breath . He suddenly couldn’t bear it, but how many divine beasts had already died in his hands? One more wouldn’t make any difference .

Li Yunmu hardened his heart and took out the god slaughtering sword .
“I will assist you in opening the seal, but you mustn’t forget my favour!” he said coldly .
Upon hearing Li Yunmu’s words, the system’s voice also turned ice-cold . [Don’t worry, as long as you can help me return to the Origin World, I won’t treat you unfairly!]
Li Yunmu fiercely stabbed the god slaughtering sword into the divine beast . It shrieked in powerless anger . Without even having the opportunity to battle against Li Yunmu, it lost its head once he shifted his blade .
The divine beast perished, and its body also gradually disappeared . In front of Li Yunmu’s eyes, it turned into water, and the water seal suddenly began to collapse . Cracks appeared on the frozen ice on which the water seal was lying, following which it completely shattered .
The seal’s gate was opened, and Li Yunmu quickly grabbed it . Underneath it was an unfathomably deep abyss .
After a quick look at it, Li Yunmu began to lose his mind .
Inside his body, the system was constantly speaking to him . [Stabilize yourself, you cannot die! You must help me open all the seals first!]
