Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 683 A Decisive Strike, Slaying the Frost Dragon (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Li Yunjing narrowed his eyes slightly and scanned the sea area in front of him with his divine sense. Sure enough, he sensed dozens of powerful auras lurking in the deep sea.

These cold dragons are quite powerful; no wonder the "Little Arctic Palace" was helpless against them.

"Brother Ye, it seems we'll have to get serious this time."

Li Yunjing said in a low voice.

"This is exactly what I wanted. The demon cores and essence blood of these Frost Dragons are excellent materials for refining demonic magic weapons."

Ye Wuhen grinned, a bloodthirsty glint flashing in his eyes.

"Be careful, everyone. These cold dragons are extremely cunning and are especially skilled in combined attacks. Once you are entangled by them, it will be very difficult to escape."

Seeing this, Han Songzi quickly cupped his hands and said, "Our 'Little Arctic Palace' will stop those dragons at the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment stages, and the three of us will stop at most four fourth-order demon kings."

"That's it!"

Li Yunjing smiled faintly: "This mere beast can't cause any trouble."

He has this confidence!

As a grandmaster of array formations, Li Yunjing fears only top-tier experts. As for demonic prodigies like Ye Wuhen, he doesn't care about the numerous mediocre talents.

Once the great formation was activated, no matter how much these beasts struggled, they could not escape.

This is the advantage that a Grandmaster of Formations has when facing a large number of enemies!
"Alright! Let's get started!"

Before he finished speaking, Han Songzi had already flown to the bow of the ship. With a wave of his scepter, ice formed for ten miles and pierced straight into the deep sea.

"Crack! Click!"

The sea surface instantly froze into a thin layer of ice. The next moment, before the ice layer could thicken, it began to boil. Dozens of icy dragons, provoked by the attack, angrily burst out of the water.

Their bodies were covered in dark blue scales, they had a single horn on their heads, and their eyes flashed with a cold killing intent.

"Do it!"

With a soft shout, Li Yunjing moved like lightning, instantly appearing above the head of a cold dragon. He wielded the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword," slashing directly at the dragon's head.

Facing a demon king who had just entered the fourth tier, he really wasn't afraid at all!
"Jie Jie Jie!"

As for Ye Wuhen, he let out a wild laugh, and the "Nine Netherworld Demon Banner" fluttered in the wind, with countless wronged souls and vengeful ghosts rushing out to surround the several fourth-order Cold Dragon Kings and tear them apart frantically.

"Boom!"

The battle erupted instantly, with sword energy crisscrossing the sea and demonic energy surging to the heavens.

Although the Frost Dragon King was fierce, the five-headed demon king was quickly overwhelmed by the combined efforts of Li Yunjing and Ye Wuhen.

"You beast! Surrender at once!"

Li Yunjing snorted coldly, and in an instant, lightning surrounded him. Like a bolt of lightning, he "activated the ancient bronze bell" and, with a terrifying bell sound, directly struck the body of the Frost Dragon King!
"when……"

As his cultivation level increased and his compatibility improved, the power of the "Bronze Ancient Bell" was unleashed, giving it the imposing presence it once held in the hands of the monks of Mingxin Temple.

The fifth-tier magic weapon trembled, and on the sea surface, the bronze light and the black seawater seemed to be two beams of light colliding, generating an extremely terrifying energy wave that shook the sea surface and created a crater a hundred feet deep!

Li Yunjing, Ye Wuhen, and the three Nascent Soul Realm True Persons from the "Little Arctic Palace"—five top experts—fought against the Nine-Headed Fourth-Order Demon King. In an instant, the entire sea area was filled with towering waves, and the glaciers that occasionally drifted by were shattered.

Even the hurricanes that occasionally swept across the sky seemed to be dissipated by the supernatural powers of the many masters, unable to affect this battlefield.

Below them were many Golden Core cultivators from the "Little Arctic Palace," who, together with Zhao Qi and Su Muqing, two Golden Core cultivators, surrounded and killed the third and second-tier Cold Dragons, attempting to exterminate them all.

"'Five Elements Divine Thunder Slaying...', appear!"

Li Yunjing gave a soft shout, and a large formation immediately appeared, trapping the Cold Dragon King in front of him within it.

As for why the word "demon" wasn't shouted out?

Li Yunjing thought that Ye Wuhen was standing by, and was also an ally. If he said the words "slay the demon," it would make Ye Wuhen feel uncomfortable and cause trouble. It would be better to keep quiet!

"Om!"

A vast array of patterns appeared, and strands of the Five Elements power, like divine chains, encompassed a three-mile radius, forming a space where the Five Elements power was concentrated.

This place is like a hidden paradise!
Here, Li Yunjing is the sole ruler!
"Ouch..."

Seeing itself trapped in the great formation, the fourth-order Frost Dragon King almost went mad. Its whole body shone brightly. It could feel that it was in a passive state and that it would perish in this world full of thunder and the power of the five elements if it was not careful!
The shadow of death drove the demon king even more insane.

"Boom!"

Within the Five Elements Formation, thunder roared as the fourth-tier Frost Dragon King struggled frantically, its scales bursting open and spewing forth icy currents in an attempt to freeze the entire formation.

However, Li Yunjing formed hand seals, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he shouted in a low voice, "The Five Elements Revolve, the Thunder Tribulation Descends!"

In an instant, dark clouds gathered above the "Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Formation," and five-colored lightning intertwined, transforming into bolts of lightning as thick as buckets, which crashed down!

"Click..."

The Frost Dragon King let out a shrill roar as lightning pierced through its body, shattering its scales and spraying blood.

It tried to struggle, but Li Yunjing wouldn't give it the chance.

"cut!"

The "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" in his hand suddenly slashed down, the sword light like a rainbow, directly splitting open the head of the Cold Dragon King. A crystal clear demon core flew out and was caught by Li Yunjing.

"The first one!"

Li Yunjing's gaze was icy. With a flash, he withdrew from the "Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Formation" and swept his eyes across the battlefield.

At this moment, Ye Wuhen was controlling the "Nine Netherworld Demon Banner," and countless vengeful spirits were entangled around a Cold Dragon King, frantically tearing at its primordial spirit.

The Frost Dragon King roared in agony, but it was unable to break free from the Demon Banner's restraints. In the end, Ye Wuhen ripped out its heart with a demonic claw, crushing its demon core and causing it to perish on the spot!
"Hehehe, the second one!"

Ye Wuhen grinned maliciously, his gaze sweeping greedily over the other Cold Dragon Kings.

Clearly, this ally of the demonic path possesses astonishing attack power and is twice as efficient as him!
As for the people of the "Little Arctic Palace"?
They were in a stalemate, three against four. Although they were not at a disadvantage, they had no chance to kill their opponents.

Li Yunjing's lips curled up slightly as his gaze locked onto a slightly weaker Frost Dragon King. It had just been injured by a Supreme Elder of the "Little Arctic Palace" and was now frantically fleeing, trying to escape into the deep sea.

"Want to run?"

With a loud "boom," Li Yunjing activated the "Thunder Escape Technique," sneered, and moved like lightning, instantly blocking its path. The "Ancient Bronze Bell" in his hand trembled violently!
"when……"

The bell tolled loudly, the sound waves surged like a tide, and the Cold Dragon King was struck as if by lightning. His body suddenly froze, and blood flowed from his seven orifices!

"die!"

Li Yunjing showed no mercy. He had long since replaced the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" with the incomparably sharp "Boundary Breaking Sword." With a flash of sword light, the head of the Cold Dragon King flew high into the air, spraying blood that stained the sea red!
The fourth one!
In a short time, four fourth-tier Frost Dragon Kings perished, and the remaining five Frost Dragon Kings panicked completely. They roared madly, trying to break through together.

However, Li Yunjing and Ye Wuhen, along with the "Little Arctic Palace" that paid a huge price, would never give them a chance.
"Brother Ye, kill two more!"

Li Yunjing transmitted his voice.

"Right on my mind!"

Ye Wuhen grinned maliciously, and with a flick of his demonic banner, he directly enveloped the two Frost Dragon Kings. The demonic energy surged and frantically devoured their life force.

In front of a master at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm, how could an ordinary demon king be a match?

With almost no resistance, she was easily defeated by Ye Wuhen!

Li Yunjing then activated the "Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Formation" once again, trapping another Frost Dragon King within it.

As for the remaining two, he and Ye Wuhen couldn't finish them, so they left them to the people of "Little Arctic Palace." It seemed that with three against two, Han Songzi and the others wouldn't disappoint.

"Five Elements Annihilation!"

Within the great formation, Li Yunjing changed his attack again, transforming the power of the five elements into countless sharp blades, frantically slaying and killing!

The Frost Dragon King roared in agony, its scales shattering, and was ultimately torn into minced meat!
"die!"

Seeing that the opponent's nascent soul had escaped and was trying to flee, Li Yunjing suddenly rushed forward. His fist, filled with purple lightning power, surged and shone brightly, like a giant wave crashing down on the nascent soul of the Frost Dragon King!
At this moment, Li Yunjing unleashed the "Thunder Tribulation Divine Fist," a deadly move that nearly shattered the "Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Formation."

Today, this fist technique is also Li Yunjing's strongest supernatural power!
"boom!!"

The Nascent Soul of the Cold Dragon King was unable to dodge in time and could only forcefully activate its demonic power to clash with Li Yunjing's "Thunder Tribulation Divine Fist".

"puff!"

This dragon-shaped nascent soul was smashed to pieces by Li Yunjing's punch!

With the last Nascent Soul of the Frost Dragon King reduced to ashes by Li Yunjing's "Thunder Tribulation Divine Fist," the entire sea area finally returned to calm.

The rolling waves gradually subsided, leaving only the corpse of the cold dragon floating on the sea and the red-stained seawater, witnessing the earth-shattering battle that had just taken place.

"call……"

Li Yunjing breathed a sigh of relief, put away the spoils of war, and deactivated the "Five Elements Divine Thunder Demon-Slaying Formation".

He looked around and saw Ye Wuhen standing not far away, with a few wisps of dragon spirit still lingering on the "Nine Netherworld Demon Banner" in his hand, clearly indicating that he had made a great harvest.

Meanwhile, the people of the "Little Arctic Palace" were happily cleaning up the corpses of the two Frost Dragon Kings.

"Brother Li, you've had quite a haul this time."

Ye Wuhen grinned, his eyes gleaming with greed. "These demon cores and essence blood of the Frost Dragon King are enough for me to refine several excellent demonic artifacts and top-grade pills."

"Not bad! The battle went smoothly, and the gains were considerable." Li Yunjing nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to the other side.

Although the three Supreme Elders of the "Little Arctic Palace," including Han Songzi, were somewhat disheveled, they finally managed to defeat the last two Cold Dragon Kings.

Their robes were stained with blood, and their breathing was somewhat disordered, clearly indicating that they had expended a great deal of energy.

"Brother Li's combat prowess has truly impressed me!"

Ye Wuhen smiled meaningfully.

He was genuinely surprised.

I originally thought that Li Yunjing could only kill one or two Frost Dragon Kings at most!
Who would have thought that this person could kill a fourth-tier demon king so quickly, actually slaying three of them!
With such abilities, his combat strength has probably reached around the fifth level of the Nascent Soul realm, right?
And what about Li Yunjing's cultivation level?
It seems he only recently broke through to the sixth level of the Golden Core realm?

Even a powerful figure like him was shocked, unable to believe that such a monstrous person existed!
"Heh! It's just relying on the power of the formation! Nothing special!"

Li Yunjing offered a brief explanation.

"Palace Master Han, I have not failed in my mission."

To change the subject, Li Yunjing looked to the other side, cupped his hands, and said loudly, "These cold dragons have all been slain, so your palace's waterways should be unobstructed now."

"Thanks to the great help of the two fellow Daoists, otherwise, with the power of my 'Little Arctic Palace' alone, I'm afraid it would be difficult to deal with so many Frost Dragon Kings."

Upon hearing this, Han Songzi showed gratitude on her face and quickly returned the greeting.

He paused, then said, "As agreed, the materials for these Frost Dragons belong to the two of you. I will now order my disciples to help collect them."

Li Yunjing nodded in satisfaction, his gaze sweeping across the sea.

At this moment, Su Muqing and Zhao Qi, along with the Golden Core cultivators of the "Little Arctic Palace," had finished their battle and were cleaning up the battlefield.

The corpses of those low-level cold dragons are also quite valuable, especially their scales and tendons, which are excellent materials for crafting magical artifacts.

"Fellow Daoist Li, we've also resolved things on our end."

Su Muqing flew over, her face showing some fatigue, but her eyes gleaming with excitement. "The lair of these Frost Dragons is nearby, should we..."

"Of course I'll go take a look."

Li Yunjing understood and smiled, "The Cold Dragon likes to collect rare and precious materials; there might be good things in their nests."

"Hehehe, then what are we waiting for?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Wuhen also became interested: "I am most interested in treasure hunting!"

Seeing this, Han Songzi quickly said, "Fellow Daoists, the Cold Dragon's Nest does indeed contain some treasures, but..."

He hesitated to speak, as if he had something to hide.

"Princess Han, please speak freely."

Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow.

"To be honest, the islands occupied by these cold dragons were originally a villa of my 'Little Arctic Palace'."

Han Songzi smiled wryly, "Back then, the Cold Dragon Clan suddenly attacked, and we were forced to evacuate. We didn't even have time to take many treasures with us..."

Li Yunjing and Ye Wuhen exchanged a glance and instantly understood what Han Songzi meant.

Ye Wuhen snorted coldly: "What, Palace Master Han, do you want those things back?"

"No, no, no, you two misunderstood."

Han Songzi quickly waved his hand: "Since those things have been in the hands of the Cold Dragon for many years, they naturally belong to the two of you. However..."

He hesitated for a moment, "Among them is the 'Mysterious Ice Mirror,' left behind by our sect's founder. It is an heirloom of our sect, and I hope the two of you can..."

Han Songzi originally had malicious intentions, but after witnessing Li Yunjing and Ye Wuhen's formidable combat power, he no longer had any other thoughts.
Isn't this courting death?

Aside from trying to reason with them, there was almost no other way.

"That's easy to say."

After a moment's thought, Li Yunjing readily agreed, "If I truly find the heirloom of your palace, I will naturally return it."

"Alright!"

Although Ye Wuhen was somewhat reluctant, he reluctantly nodded for Li Yunjing's sake.

After reaching an agreement, the group immediately set off for the Cold Dragon's lair.

Guided by Han Songzi, they soon arrived at an island covered in ice and snow.

The island was bitterly cold, and there were traces of the activity of the Frost Dragon everywhere.

"This is it."

Han Songzi pointed to an iceberg in the center of the island, "The lair of the Frost Dragon is inside that iceberg."

The group arrived at the iceberg and saw a huge opening leading into its depths. The cave was dark and deep, radiating a bone-chilling cold.

Li Yunjing, Ye Wuhen, and Han Songzi were the first to enter.

The cave is extremely spacious inside, with its walls covered in thick layers of ice.

As they ventured deeper, various skeletons began to appear on the ground, some human, some beasts, all clearly the remains of food for the Frost Serpent.

"These beasts certainly know how to enjoy themselves."

Ye Wuhen kicked aside a skeleton and sneered.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, the view suddenly opened up, revealing a huge ice cave.

In the center of the ice cave was a frigid pool, its water a deep blue that emanated an astonishing chill.

Around the cold pool, various glittering items were piled up.

These are the treasures collected by the Cold Dragon.

"There really is something good here!"

Ye Wuhen's eyes lit up and he immediately went forward to check.

Li Yunjing noticed several jade boxes piled up in a corner of the ice cave, marked with the words "Little Arctic Palace".

He beckoned Han Songzi over: "Palace Master Han, take a look and see if these are items from your esteemed palace?"

Han Songzi excitedly ran over and opened the jade box to inspect it.

"found it!"

A moment later, he held up a crystal-clear ice mirror and exclaimed with delight, "This is the 'Mysterious Ice Mirror'! Thank you, Fellow Daoist Li!"

Li Yun nodded and turned to examine the other treasures.

Han Jiao's collection was indeed rich, including various rare ores, spiritual herbs, and even a few magic treasures in good condition.

After taking stock, Li Yunjing and Ye Wuhen divided the spoils equally.

Ye Wuhen mainly took the materials suitable for demonic cultivation, while Li Yunjing chose spiritual objects that were helpful for formations and some rare spiritual herbs.

"Han Songzi, it was a pleasure working with you this time."

After dividing the spoils, Ye Wuhen said with satisfaction, "Remember to call me next time there's something like this."

"must!!"

Han Songzi smiled wryly and said, "Brother Ye's 'Nine Netherworld Demon Banner' is incredibly powerful. It is an honor for my 'Little Arctic Palace' to be able to cooperate with Brother Ye."

Han Songzi felt quite resentful that Li Yunjing and Ye Wuhen had taken all the benefits for her.

The only consolation is that the passage is open, and without the bandits like the Frost Dragon Clan blocking the way, their trade with the "Northern Frost Continent" will be fine.

After leaving the Cold Dragon's lair, Li Yunjing and his companions returned to the main island of the "Little Arctic Palace" amidst the icy wind.

The howling winds of the far north whip up countless ice crystals that refract the sunlight into a rainbow of colors.

"Fellow Daoist Li, Fellow Daoist Ye, have a safe journey!"

Han Songzi stood in the square in front of the palace, leading everyone in seeing them off.

Originally, Li Yunjing and Ye Wuhen were unwilling to return, but this old man seemed to have become attached to them. Not only did they exchange communication talismans, but he also seemed reluctant to part ways.

"Alright! Alright! Fellow Daoist Han, it's time for us to set off!"

Ye Wuhen interrupted impatiently.

"If fate allows, we will meet again someday!"

Li Yunjing casually remarked, and then boarded Ye Wuhen's "Heavenly Demon" with Zhao Qi and Su Muqing.

A biting cold wind swept over them as the "Tianmo" sped forward.

As the easternmost point of the "far north" and a sea passage connecting the "northern continent," the "Little Arctic Palace" has been operating for many years and is basically in a safe state.

Following a specific route, you generally won't encounter the Kraken in the North Sea.
