Chapter 532: The Remains of the Blood Progenitor
βIs it finally over?β
Down in the valley between two mountains, the eastern barbarians finally stopped panicking. Shocked expressions covered their faces as they realized how peaceful the world had become.
They had lost more than a hundred people in a short time.
Over half of their original force of over two hundred eastern barbarians had died to the ice storm of the Forbidden Land of Ice. The survivors surveyed the area, corpses of their fallen comrades littering the ground around them.
βWhat happened?β someone asked.
βIce came from the frozen lake in the distance, smashed into an icy mountain, and caused an avalanche of bouldersβ¦ we got caught in it.β
βBlood Fiend Sectβs ultimate treasure, the Bloodthirsty Dragon, charged into the frozen lake. The Demon Sealing Tombstone is floating above it right now!β Jiang Tianxingβs eyes flashed with excitement. βThe lake is about to shatter, and the Land of Buried Gods will appear very soon! Get ready to move, everyone! Try to get inside of the frozen lake!β
He didnβt care about the lives of the eastern barbarians at all.
βLetβs go!β Jia Yue shouted. βTo the frozen lake!β
She could feel a voice coming from the depths of the frozen lake, urging her to move as quickly as possible.
A strangely enchanting voice seemed to be communicating with her through her True Soul.
βNow is not the time to argue!β Sen Ye ordered in response. βThe Land of Buried Gods has always been our true goal in the Graveyard of Gods! No matter how heavy our losses are, we must complete our mission!β
βGo!β
The eastern barbarians ignored the corpses of their tribesmen and moved forward.
βLook! Above the frozen lake! What is that?β
βThe Demon Sealing Tombstone! Thatβs the Demon Sealing Tombstone!β
After a difficult journey, Ye Yihao, Huang Zhuli, Su Yan, Yu Men, and Feng Yiyou finally reached the top of another mountain.
They had arrived at a good time.
At this point in time, the ice spirit had just finished its frenzy and the Forbidden Land of Ice had finally become calm.
The five of them stared down at the frozen lake from the top of the mountain. Seeing the Demon Sealing Tombstone hovering high above the lake, they were all but certain about the location of the Land of Buried Gods and the ice spirit.
βThis is it!β Ye Yihao became excited. βWeβre finally headed in the right direction!β
βThe frozen lake looks like itβs about to shatter.β Feng Yiyouβs gaze grew intense. βThe Land of Buried Gods is probably going to be exposed soon!β
βLetβs get to the Land of Buried Gods at the fastest speed possible!β Yu Men shouted.
All five of them were in agreement. Keeping their shields of light up, they swallowed medicinal pills first so that they could get back into fighting condition.
At almost the same time, Qin Lie and the others charged down the peak toward the frozen lake, hoping to be the first to see the Land of Buried Gods.
βCrack crack crack!β
The thick layer of ice that made up the surface of the vast frozen lake continued to fracture and break apart.
Underneath the frozen lake, bloody lights attacked the ice from below, charging about like countless swords made of blood..
The Demon Sealing Tombstone floated high in the sky and continued to use its seven prismatic lights to assault the surface of the lake that protected the ice spirit.
It was trying to seal the ice spirit as fast as possible!
The ice spirit was hiding in the depths of the frozen lake. It was strong, intelligent, and already aware of the situation. It controlled the Forbidden Land of Ice and fought back desperately.
βAaouuuuu!β
A grief laden howl echoed from deep within the frozen lake. The bloody bone dragon flew out from the gap in the surface of the lake and shot into the sky alongside bloody lights.
Having grown to nearly two times its original massive size, the bloody bone dragon writhed in the air, howling unhappily.
The small figure of a person seemed to be sitting atop its head.
Although the more specific features of that personβs appearance were indistinct, their body looked as if it were made of bloody jade. It shone with blinding bloody light like a sanguine jewel shaped like a person.
They didnβt give off any soul fluctuations, but their body emanated a dense aura of blood.
βThe remains of the Blood Progenitor! The Bloodthirsty Dragon charged into the frozen lake to retrieve him!β Jiang Tianxing was the first to shout. βThe Land of Buried Gods is definitely at the bottom of the frozen lake! Thereβs no doubt about it!ββ
βThe remains of the Blood Progenitor!β Xue Moyan also shouted in shock. βThose are definitely his remains!β
Everyone could feel the bloody bone dragonβs intense sorrow. This Heaven Grade spirit artifact seemed to possess simple intelligence. Upon finding out that its creator, its first owner, had died long agoβ¦ it couldnβt help but grieve and howl angrily.
βLook!β Ye Yihao shouted. βThatβs Blood Fiend Sectβs ultimate treasure! The Heaven Grade artifact, the Bloodthirsty Dragon!β
βAaouuuuu!β The Bloodthirsty Dragon howled toward the horizon.
The bloody lights that surrounded it formed ancient glyphs that resembled dragons. Hundreds of thousands of those glyphs hurtled down toward the frozen lake.
βBoom boom boom!β
Earth-shaking explosions rang out from the ice below. The assault of the dragon-shaped glyphs completely shattered the thick layer of ice making up the frozen lakeβs surface.
The moment the frozen lake shattered, the seven divine lights of the Demon Sealing Tombstone reached down like the hand of a giant.
The gazes of everyone remotely nearby focused on the frozen lake.
βBang!β
The frozen lake shattered, and ice accompanied by streaming lights shot outward, carried toward the eastern barbarians like an astonishingly frigid wind.
The eastern barbarians cursed, wailing like ghouls as they scattered in every direction.
However, before many of them had the chance to flee, their blood stopped flowing. Under the influence of the extreme cold, they froze to death.
Eastern barbarians of all three tribes fled in three directions.
Thousands of icy lights headed directly for Jia Yue. The dozen of white barbarians by her side couldnβt do a thing before they were frozen into statues.
Even Gao Yu was no exception.
Once the frigid winds swept over them, Gao Yu became a crystalline stature like the white barbarians.
Yet his eyes still shone with a dark, evil light.
Deep within his eyes, countless ghosts floated around to form a strange glyph. That glyph seemed like the unyielding will of the Evil God, but also radiated an evil power like the remnant soul of an Evil God.
The ghostly glyph in his eyes slowed the formation of the ice around his body.
Gao Yu was still stuck inside of the ice, but he retained his consciousness and could look around.
He saw thousands of icy lights enter Jia Yueβs body, streaming into her like water flowing into the sea.
Jia Yue immediately froze as well. However, this type of freeze differed from the one that killed everyone else. She became a person of ice, but the blood that flowed inside of her didnβt freeze. Instead, an unfathomable aura appeared within her. She suddenly gave off the feeling that she had become one with the Forbidden Land of Ice and was able to control this section of the world.
Her eyes became as white as snow⦠and devoid of emotion.
βSomethingβs wrong!β Gao Yu thought, a chill washing over his heart. He immediately realized that the ice spirit had taken over Jia Yue.
The Jia Yue of this moment was nothing like the Jia Yue of the past.
βShe was no longer the white barbarian girl he was familiar with, but the ice spirit, the ruler of the Forbidden Land of Ice!
βWhoosh!β
The Demon Sealing Tombstone arrived, having followed the tens of thousands of icy lights through the sky.
It hovered above Jia Yueβs and Gao Yuβs heads, its dazzling godly lights writhing through the air like the tentacles of an octopus as if they were trying to decide which one of them was the ice spirit.
The prismatic lights roamed back and forth above their heads, yet they didnβt attack Jia Yue. It seemed as if they were blind.
βCrack crack!β
All of a sudden, the frigid gusts of wind froze Di Fei, who had been fleeing in another direction.
Di Fei howled as an extremely cold power of frost entered his mind and reached his Soul Lake where his True Soul was.
Di Feiβs Soul Lake immediately froze. The power of frost sealed his True Soul, seemingly cutting off his connection to the earth spirit.
In that instant, the aura of the earth spirit radiated from Di Feiβs body, peerlessly pure and bright.
The frigid winds caught a black barbarian woman with a gentle appearance, ice encroaching on her just like Di Fei.
Her eyes shook with fear and she cried, βDonβt hurt us!β
Only a faint soul shadow could be seen in her.
The calm, pure power of water emanated from her body, making her stand out as well.
βAβYue!β Sen Ye shouted in shock and confusion. βWhatβs happening to you?β
βS-sheβs been possessed by the water spirit!β a black barbarian shouted in realization.
Then Di Fei noticed someone at the peak of a nearby mountain. A scarlet barbarian stood there, completely encased in ice, but his body radiated the power of metal.
βYouβ¦ didnβt you die long ago?β Di Fei shouted. βKa Deng!β
This barbarian called βKa Dengβ had been killed by Black Voodoo Cult martial practitioners in the Forbidden Land of Metal. Di Fei had been the one to bury him.
Yet that Ka Deng now appeared once again, showing up in the Forbidden Land of Ice.
