Chapter 588 Mountains and Seas [1]

I saw.

A thin crack quietly appeared in her palm.

The crimson blood swirled and flowed within, but instead of dripping, it seemed to have a life of its own, condensing into a crimson blood bead.

The surface of the blood droplet shimmered with light, reflecting a hazy scene that seemed both real and illusory.

The scene depicted is a place in the Great Wilderness.

This is a true technique called 'Beyond the Mirror', which, once used, allows one to see into their surroundings.

Of course, as the scope of surveillance increases, so does the consumption.

At this moment, the scene within the bead is in the heart of a raging blizzard.

Several strangely shaped beasts were roaring and fighting—or rather, it was a one-sided slaughter.

The one that held the absolute upper hand was a giant dragon whose entire body looked as if it had been sculpted from ice crystals.

Its body coiled and twisted, gleaming with a cold light, each dragon scale reflecting a chilling glow.

Most chillingly, a huge, cold, pale white face grew on its proud head.

His eyes were like two pools of eternally frozen ice, staring down at everything before him with deathly silence and indifference.

The extremely cold aura surrounding him was like a living thing, surging and flowing with his thoughts.

Where the cold air passes, everything freezes, even the howling wind seems to be frozen into an invisible barrier.

Swish!
With a sweep of its massive tail, a visible wave of cold air surged forth, instantly engulfing a ferocious bird wreathed in flames in front of it.

This bird was actually an ancient, exotic species with the bloodline of the divine beast Bifang.

The crimson flames burning around it emitted a piercing cracking sound the moment they touched the cold air, and along with its wings-like posture, it was completely sealed inside a crystal-clear iceberg.

Within the ice, the shape of the flames is clearly visible, like a sculpture of the moment of death.

The Ice Barbarian's face showed neither sorrow nor joy. His enormous dragon mouth opened and closed, directly biting the frozen monster bird to pieces.

The cracking sound was particularly jarring in the wind and snow as it nonchalantly swallowed the ice shards and the remains of this ancient creature.

It turned its indifferent gaze to another strange beast that was trying to flee in panic.

Its appearance resembles a red leopard, with five tails and a single horn on its head, making it a truly formidable beast.

This is among the top-tier beasts, capable of fighting alongside ordinary ancient alien species.

But at this moment, they were like mice seeing a cat.

Not daring to linger, his figure leaped and transformed into a streak of crimson, fleeing swiftly into the distance.

However, before it had run far, in the instant it leaped up, an ice shard, like a pale giant spear, suddenly burst out from the snow, piercing through the ferocious body in mid-air and freezing it in place.

The blood that had just gushed from the wound had already congealed into a patch of red ice crystals before it even hit the ground.

Click!Click!
The body moves.

The strange ice dragon crouched down and bit down on the eagle on the ice shard. Then, it yanked its head off and swallowed it.

That posture was like enjoying a barbecue, very comfortable.

Whether facing these powerful ferocious beasts or ancient alien species, it seemed to handle them with ease, as if these beings were merely food for it.

Upon seeing this, the other beasts that were still able to move around in the blizzard did not approach at all, and all tried their best to stay away from this area.

"...I actually ran into a pureblood killer!"

Looking at the frozen hellish scene outside the cave, Lin Luan's face turned pale, and she muttered to herself.

previously.

After the tribe used the Eight Desolations Sky-Gazing Mirror to detect the aura fluctuations of the Chongming Bird and another divine beast bloodline, she went deep into the Great Wilderness to pursue them.

Based on her judgment, they must be two barbarians who had just awakened their divine beast bloodline, so she focused her search on the various villages scattered throughout the wasteland.

Although the Eight Desolations Sky-Gazing Mirror is an ancient barbarian treasure, it can only vaguely locate a region and cannot accurately show the location of the target.

After all, the Great Wilderness is fraught with danger, and many powerful beasts are born with the ability to disrupt the secrets of heaven and conceal their true intentions.

Even so, having a general direction is better than searching aimlessly.

But she never expected that she would be attacked soon after entering the first village in the desolate wilderness.

The attacker was none other than the terrifying being with a dragon's body and a human face, Bingyi.

This is no ordinary ancient species, but a pure-blooded true culprit only recorded in ancient scrolls.

With a human face and a dragon's body, it wields extreme cold, with white whiskers and icy scales, and its breath turns to winter.

It is the master of cold, the true god of ice.

Its power far exceeds imagination.

Even though Lin Luan had reached the early stage of the Savage Soul Realm, she still suffered serious injuries in that sudden attack.

If it weren't for the fact that her awakened bloodline originated from an ancient, incredibly fast-moving species, she would probably have perished on the spot.

His gaze was fixed on the reflection of the figure within the blood droplet.

She had a feeling that this guy was targeting her.

Although she didn't seem very close.

But that's not actually the case.

Now, this vast wilderness is ravaged by wind and snow, and the cold is bone-chilling.

It has essentially become the territory of this Ice Barbarian.

Her attempt to escape silently from this frigid cage was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Looking around, the temperature inside the cave continued to drop, and a layer of white frost had already covered the stone walls.

If things continue like this, no matter how well they are hidden, they will eventually be exposed to the elements.

She would only freeze to death in this ice cave.

If that moment truly comes.

She had no choice but to burn her bloodline and fight to the death.

Just as I was thinking this,

Suddenly.

A chill ran through her without warning.

A cold and subtle sense of being watched arose from the depths of my soul.

As a barbarian cultivator at the Barbarian Soul Realm, her spiritual sense far surpasses that of her peers, and her premonitions of danger are almost never wrong.

His eyes flashed like lightning, and he suddenly raised his head.

The next moment, her pupils contracted sharply.

Beside him, in a crevice in the rock wall, condensed cold air, which transformed into a dark blue vertical pupil.

He was watching her coldly and silently at that moment.

Almost at the same moment.

The ice-like creature that had been swallowing the blood orb in her hand suddenly stopped moving, looked up abruptly, and its gaze seemed to pierce through the void, staring straight at where she was!
"not good!"

Her expression suddenly changed.

It found itself?!
The thought has not yet settled.

The blood orb condensed from true magic in his hand exploded.

next second.

Boom! ! !

The entire cave shook violently, boulders collapsed, the earth trembled, and the hidden cave ceiling exploded, creating a huge hole.

My gaze followed the opening of the cave and looked outwards.

Suddenly, the Ice Yi, which had been nowhere to be seen in the distance, appeared. Its body was long and winding, and its entire body was dark blue, like ancient ice.

Its head was lowered, its pale, indifferent face facing Lin Luan inside the cave, and a strange, almost mocking smile appeared on its lips.

"It turned out to be hidden here."

Its sound echoed, chilling like ice cracking.

"Little mouse, you've really been hard to find."

Click, click...

As soon as it appeared, the temperature around it plummeted, the cold air was like a knife, and the air seemed to freeze.

Lin Luan's heart skipped a beat. Before she could think, a layer of semi-transparent cyan light burst forth from her body.

As the light surged, it transformed into a gigantic phantom of a blue phoenix, its wings suddenly unfurling!

boom--!
A fierce wind howled, and a powerful tornado burst through the overhead rock layer, piercing through the sky and earth.

A terrifying tornado swirled around, drawing in the surrounding snowflakes and turning them white.

Lin Luan stood protectively in the eye of the storm.

Then, her figure rose rapidly with the help of the wind, transforming into a streak of blue light as she tried to escape from this place.

However, this ice barbarian seemed to have anticipated this.

Its mouth opened and closed, only gently exhaling a breath of white air.

laugh!
In an instant, the raging tornado in front of them froze.

In an instant, it was completely frozen in mid-air, turning into an ice sculpture.

Lin Luan, who was in the midst of it all, felt the same way.

Bingyi opened its massive, serrated maw and snapped at Lin Luan inside.

Phew——! ! !
The phantom of the Azure Phoenix suddenly fixed its gaze, roared angrily to the sky, and the sound waves exploded as if they were real, causing the ice layer around its body to shatter in response!
A beam of clear light pierced through the ice layer and shot out, striking Bingyi's pale face directly and causing it to pause in its movements.

Take this opportunity.

With a flap of its wings, the Azure Phoenix broke through the ice, attempting to escape this place.

However, just as they took flight, everything suddenly went dark. A gigantic claw covered in dark blue dragon scales abruptly blocked their path, rapidly enlarging and pressing down on their face with the force to shatter mountains and overturn seas!
puff! !
With its sharp claws piercing through the body, the phantom of the Azure Phoenix let out a mournful cry and instantly shattered into countless beams of azure light.

Lin Luan was struck dumb, coughing up blood as her body flew backward, crashing into a distant mountain wall like a broken kite.

boom! ! !
Snow and dust storms erupted, causing rocks to crumble.

Just as the Ice Barbarian was about to step forward again.

A black serpent suddenly appeared from the side, its blood-red mouth snapping open and biting Bingyi's neck.

The sharp fangs pierced through the hard dragon scales in an instant, sinking deep into the flesh.

Everything happened in a flash.

Even Bingyi, a divine beast, was unaware of when the black serpent had been lurking nearby.

Once it realized what was happening, a look of fury immediately appeared on its pale face.

"You're asking for death!!"

Bingyi raised its dragon claw and fiercely grabbed at the black serpent.

At the same time, extremely cold white vapor gushed out from its body, and countless ice crystals quickly condensed in the surrounding air, as if the entire space was about to be completely frozen.

However, the Black Serpent seemed oblivious to this.

Bingyi's dragon claws swept across the snake's body, and with a flash of light, they slid away without leaving even a white mark.

At that very moment, the black serpent's eyes blazed with blood-red light, and its slender body suddenly coiled around Bingyi, binding her tightly.

Thick black water gushed from its body, instantly engulfing both of them.

Bingyi's already pale face turned even paler, as if his blood and life force were being rapidly devoured by the other party. He couldn't help but let out a deafening roar and struggled frantically.

However, it was of no use.

Whether it's the dragon claws that can easily tear mountains apart, or the domain and chilling aura that can freeze everything.

It had no effect whatsoever on the black serpent before them.

This black serpent was Hu Qi in disguise.

Even if ordinary barbarians awaken the bloodline of divine beasts, and the bloodline concentration is extremely high, they usually find it difficult to break through their own limitations and transform into the pure-blooded ancient true evil body.

However, Hu Qi was an exception.

With the support of the twisting power, plus a trace of the Taiyu Serpent's power to suppress it.

For him, transforming into the true form of the Black Serpent was not difficult.

previously.

After arriving here, he did not reveal himself immediately, but instead used the distorted light to hide his figure on the side, waiting for a suitable opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

At this time.

The two objects fell from the sky and directly cracked the mountain peak.

During this time, the roars of Bingyi could be heard continuously.

The voice initially contained anger, but it slowly turned into screams of terror and pleas for mercy.

As a divine beast, Bingyi surpasses the barbarians in intelligence.

Now, no matter how much it struggles, it's all in vain. It can only watch helplessly as it is devoured. How can it not feel fear?

Faced with Bingyi's roar and pleas for mercy.

Hu Qi remained completely unmoved.

It simply devours the opponent's power and flesh.

I must say, the flesh and blood of this Bingyi taste quite good.

It felt like chilled watermelon to him, very refreshing.

……

On one side of the mountain wall, where Lin Luan had just crashed down.

Covered in blood, she struggled to crawl out of the rubble, only to be met with a horrifying sight not far away.

A black serpent bit Bingyi's neck tightly, and the two enormous creatures rolled and struggled wildly, their serpentine and dragon-like bodies intertwined and twisted, easily sweeping away the rocks in their path as if they were tofu.

Snow waves surged skyward, dust storms churned, a scene of utter devastation.

"Another mythical beast!"

Lin Luan's pupils contracted sharply, and a chill ran through her heart.

She suppressed her injuries and, without hesitation, transformed into a streak of blood-red light and soared into the sky, not daring to linger for even a moment longer.

After more than ten breaths, the commotion gradually subsided.

Bingyi had long since stopped struggling. Its enormous dragon body was withered like a shed snake skin, and all its flesh and blood essence had been devoured.

See this.

The black snake that Hu Qi had transformed into turned its head and looked in the direction where Lin Luan had fled.

……

air.

A streak of blood-red light flew away through the blizzard.

Lin Luan's speed was not fast due to her injury.

Therefore, she used the true technique of burning her life essence in order to speed up her escape from this place and return to the Tianlin tribe as soon as possible.

After all, no matter which pureblood culprit wins, it won't be a good thing for her.

As for the barbarians who were searching for the bloodline of divine beasts, she completely forgot about it.

Compared to one's own life, this is nothing.

Bang!
at this time.

Her crimson escape light exploded directly.

His body fell out, before he could even react.

The surrounding area was filled with inky black water, which bound her entire body.

In front of her, the air distorted, and the figure of a young man dressed in black, with loose black hair and a cold and handsome appearance appeared.

The young man had a pair of blood-red snake eyes, which were staring at her silently.

"You...you are that Xuan Snake?!"

I met those eyes.

Lin Luan instantly recognized the young man's identity.

But after realizing what had happened, I was shocked.

The other party appeared here.

Doesn't that mean that the other party and that Bingyi have already decided the outcome of their battle, or even that the other party has already killed him?

However, she was just about to say something.

The bloodlust in the young man's eyes suddenly intensified, and then he raised his hand and pointed a finger at her brow.

Lin Luan suddenly felt her mind go blank.

His eyes became unfocused.

Tell me, what's your name? Where are you from?

The young man, Hu Qi in disguise, spoke calmly.

"My name is Lin Luan, and I come from the Tianlin tribe."

Faced with the young man's question, Lin Luan answered without hesitation.

And so, the two of them went on, asking and answering questions.

……

half an hour.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Lin Luan slowly regained consciousness and crawled out of a deep pit filled with snow.

He glanced around.

Although the blizzard is still ongoing, it seems to be less intense than before.

He closed his eyes slightly and sensed the depleted vital energy within his body.

At this moment, her memory was frozen on the time she had glimpsed the Xuan Snake fighting with Bingyi and her escape route.

However, he had no memory of encountering Hu Qi later on.

As for why she was in this situation, she only remembered that her mind suddenly went blank.

It's possible that the injury was too severe, which is why it fell from the sky.

She rested for a while, and only after she had recovered some of her strength and was able to fly did she leave the place.

We are preparing to report this information to the Tianlin tribe.

Then send someone to Fengxi Village to guide the two barbarians who had awakened the bloodline of divine beasts.

Fortunately, this time it wasn't a complete loss.

As Lin Luan thought this, her memory of how she learned that there were two barbarians in Fengxi Village whose divine beast bloodlines had awakened gradually became blurred.

I only remember hearing it from a barbarian.

As for the barbarian, he unfortunately died.

Lin Luan was unaware of this.

Shortly after she left.

A dark figure quietly appeared beside a tree, silently gazing in the direction she had gone.
