I'm in Yellow Maple Valley, and I have one equipment slot!

The strangest thing is...

The silver bead itself did not emit the slightest bit of coldness.

It looks ordinary.

Zhou Yuan stared at the silver bead, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

"This thing...could it be cold marrow?"

Cold marrow is essentially a type of chalcedony, a material commonly used by cultivators in alchemy and weapon crafting.

However, the Cold Marrow only grows within the Ten Thousand Year Black Jade, and is extremely rare in the world, so that ordinary people have no chance to see it.

Its true value lies in its effect on monsters.

There are countless high-level demonic beasts in this world, but very few can cultivate to the peak of level seven and safely survive the tribulation of transformation.

Because the power of heavenly lightning is inherently effective against most demonic beasts, the tribulation of lightning is almost as deadly as a death tribulation for them.

If a demon beast undergoing tribulation consumes a drop of silver bead formed from cold marrow beforehand, it can greatly reduce the damage of lightning to its body for a certain period of time after refining it, thereby greatly increasing its success rate in overcoming tribulation!

Zhou Yuan felt a surge of joy.

He estimated that the liquid content inside was enough to make twenty silver beads!

this means.

He can enslave twenty peak level seven demonic beasts and use his cold marrow to help them overcome the tribulation of transformation!

Even Zhou Yuan would find it difficult to enslave a demon beast after it has taken human form, but if a divine sense restriction is placed on it before it takes human form, it can still be controlled after it takes human form!

An army of more than twenty transformed demonic beasts—what terrifying combat power that must be!

Even a powerful cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage would flee at the mere sight of him!

"What a wonderful treasure... such a wonderful treasure!"

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and carefully put the jade bottle into his storage bag.

He turned and left the cave, returning to the surface.

……

Just then—

His divine sense suddenly detected the aura of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, which was rapidly approaching the place where he had previously placed the Heavenly Capital Demon Corpse!

The aura was cold and eerie, carrying a unique chill.

A flash of killing intent appeared in Zhou Yuan's eyes.

"Extreme Yin, after waiting for so long, you have finally arrived."

A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips, and with a flash, he disappeared among the blood-red ice pillars.

A hunt is about to begin.

Deep within the Blood Ice Forest, before a thick, blood-red ice pillar.

A corpse, entirely emerald green and clad in dark iron armor, lay silently on the ground.

This world, a tapestry of blood and ice, appears particularly eerie.

A black figure hurriedly swept in from a distance, leaving a series of shallow footprints on the ice.

He moved extremely fast, yet cautiously, clearly wary of this Blood Ice Forest.

It was none other than the Supreme Yin Ancestor.

He landed in front of the corpse, his gaze falling on the familiar body, his pupils suddenly contracting.

"Is it really the Heavenly Capital Demon Corpse?"

Ji Yin frowned, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes, which was then replaced by intense killing intent.

What does the appearance of the Heavenly Capital Demon Corpse here signify?

This means that the mysterious person who killed Wu Chou back then is also on this Xuanjing Path at this moment!

But... why did that person leave the demon's corpse here?

Ji Yin's eyes flickered as he warily scanned his surroundings.

All around was quiet, except for the howling of the biting wind, which stirred the blood-red ice pillars and made them whistle eerily.

Not right.

If that person wanted to conceal their identity, why expose the demon corpse? This is clearly...

"trap?"

Ji Yin felt a chill run down his spine.

Just then—

"Shhh..."

Suddenly, a faint sound came from all around, like countless insects crawling on the ground.

The sound grew clearer and more frequent as it approached from afar!

Ji Yin's expression changed, and he suddenly looked up!

From among the surrounding blood-red ice pillars, countless silver light rats suddenly emerged!

They were densely packed, like a tide, converging from all directions, numbering at least thousands!

Moreover, even more Silverlight Rats are on their way from afar!

"Overestimating yourself!"

With a chilling snort, black energy surged from his entire body!

With a wave of his hands, a jet of dark flame erupted from his palms—the Heavenly Capital Corpse Flame, which he had cultivated for a hundred years!

The black flames were incredibly eerie, distorting the air wherever they passed.

The silver rat at the forefront was engulfed by flames and instantly turned to ashes!

"Puff puff puff—!"

Dozens of silver rats died on the spot!

However, even more silver mice surged forward!

Fearless of death, they transformed into streaks of silver light, frantically crashing into the extremely yin protective demonic light!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The impact was as loud as thunder, causing the surrounding blood-red ice pillars to tremble slightly!

Ji Yin's face was gloomy. He waved his hands repeatedly, and the Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire transformed into black fire dragons that roamed and tumbled all around!

With each wave of fire, dozens of silver rats perished!

In a short time, hundreds of silver rats died at his hands!

However—they can't be killed all of them!

The number of silver mice has not decreased, but has increased!

Looking around, all around were densely packed silver figures, like a silver ocean, completely surrounding the extreme Yin!

"How could this happen?!"

Ji Yin's expression finally changed.

He roughly estimated that there were already more than four thousand silver rats gathered here at this moment!

They only attack those cultivators who are alone and have weak cultivation levels.

But now, they are attacking him like madmen!

In a flash, his extremely yin mind realized—someone was deliberately instigating this!

The person who killed Wu Chou probably didn't have that ability.

Cola Novels: Good books are updated continuously, waiting for you to appreciate them.

The most likely candidate is someone from the Star Palace.

"Damn it!"

Ji Yin gritted his teeth and cursed silently, but there was nothing he could do.

There is a powerful anti-flying restriction on this Ice and Fire Path, which prevents him from escaping by flying.

If you want to get out of this Blood Ice Forest, you can only rely on your own two feet.

But how fast is the Silver Mouse?

He can't outrun him at all!

The only option is to kill!

A fierce glint flashed in Ji Yin's eyes, and he decided to go all out and unleash his full power!

He pushed the Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire to its limit, transforming it into a black sea of ​​fire that spread outwards!

At the same time, he summoned a skull-shaped magic artifact. The skull grew taller in the wind, turning into a size of about ten feet. It opened its blood-red maw and spewed out beams of black demonic light, blasting the approaching silver light rats into dust!

The battle lasted for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The corpses of silver rats piled up like mountains, and their silvery blood stained the entire ice surface red.

A rough count reveals that at least five or six thousand Silver Light Rats have died at the hands of Ji Yin!

However, Ji Yin's expression grew increasingly grim.

Because his magical power was greatly depleted!

If things continue like this, how much fighting power will he have left when he encounters a real enemy?

"Come out! Stop hiding!"

Ji Yin roared furiously, his voice echoing through the Blood Ice Forest.

However, there was no response.

Only more silver mice surged in from all directions!

Ji Yin gritted his teeth and could only continue fighting.

Another half incense stick has passed.

The number of silver mice finally began to decrease.

When the last Silverlight Rat fell, there were already tens of thousands of Silverlight Rat corpses lying around Ji Yin!

He was breathing heavily, his face as pale as paper.

The black aura surrounding him was much dimmer than before.

His magical power has been depleted.

"You scum from the Star Palace! Hiding yourselves and trying to hide, do you think you can do anything to this old ancestor like this?"

Ji Yin gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with resentment and venom.

"Once I get out of here, I'll settle the score with you!"

However, before he could finish speaking—

A massive black shadow suddenly burst out from behind the blood-red ice pillar, carrying overwhelming ferocity, and rushed straight at him!

Extreme Yin's pupils suddenly contracted!

It was a tiger-shaped demon beast, three zhang long, emaciated, and exuding a strong aura of death!

Its eyes were blood red, and its claws and fangs were incredibly sharp. Most strangely, there was a blood-red crack in the center of its forehead, like a third eye!

"A beast-like creature?!"

Upon sensing the corpse energy emanating from the enormous tiger-shaped demonic beast, Ji Yin's expression changed drastically!

How could such a ferocious creature appear here?!

The beast demon didn't care what he was thinking. It transformed into a black shadow and pounced on Ji Yin in an instant, slapping down with its claw!

Ji Yin hurriedly activated the skull artifact to defend himself!

"Bang!"

The skull clashed with the beast's claws, unleashing a blinding burst of spiritual light!

The skull was sent flying backward by the shock, while the beast only swayed slightly before continuing its attack!

Ji Yin was horrified.

This beast's combat power is incredibly strong!

He quickly activated his Xuan Yin Demonic Qi, transforming it into black chains in an attempt to entangle the beast!

At the same time, the Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire surged out again, turning into a sea of ​​fire that surrounded the Beast Demon!

However, the beast demon didn't care about any of that!

It let the Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire burn its body, and let the Profound Yin Chains bind its body, and then—it suddenly broke free!

"Snap!"

The Xuan Yin Chains snapped instantly!

Its charred flesh healed at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"An indestructible body?!"

Ji Yin gasped in shock.

This thing actually possesses an indestructible body!

The beast pounced again, its claws moving like the wind, each strike carrying terrifying force!

The Yin energy retreated step by step, and the protective demonic light on its body grew dimmer and dimmer!

"roar--!"

Suddenly, the beast let out a roar, and the blood-red crack on its forehead abruptly opened!

A gray beam of light shot out from it, heading straight for the extreme Yin!

The beam of light was filled with an aura of deathly stillness; wherever it passed, even the air seemed to freeze!

"The Light of Annihilation?!"

Ji Yin was horrified and turned pale!

He certainly knew how powerful this thing was—the Light of Annihilation, which was specifically designed to kill life!

Once hit, your life force will quickly ebb away; even if you don't die, you'll be badly injured!

He tried his best to dodge!

However, at that moment—

A terrifying attack of divine sense struck without warning!

The Twelve Stabs of the Divine Court!

Twelve invisible spiritual spikes, like red-hot iron rods, pierced fiercely into the extremely yin sea of ​​consciousness!

"ah--!"

Ji Yin let out a shrill scream, and his consciousness instantly plunged into chaos!

His magical power froze for a moment, and his body stiffened on the spot!

It was this brief pause—

The light of annihilation struck his body squarely!

"ah--!!!"

An even more piercing scream rang out!

The extremely Yin body withered away at a visible speed, its life force rapidly disappearing!

With all his might, he slammed his fist on the top of his head—

A black nascent soul burst forth from the top of his head and fled in panic into the distance!

The nascent soul was only an inch in size, completely black, and its face was exactly the same as that of Ji Yin. At this moment, its eyes were filled with fear!

"Trying to run away?"

A soft voice rang out.

The direction the Yin Nascent Soul fled was precisely the blood-red ice pillar where Zhou Yuan was hiding!

Zhou Yuan raised his hand and waved it, and a large cyan energy hand materialized out of thin air, grabbing the nascent soul!

"Fellow Daoist, spare my life—!"

The extremely Yin nascent soul struggled desperately in the large blue hand, uttering pitiful pleas for mercy.
