The extraordinary journey begins with the Ouroboros Stele.

Chapter 195 The Arrival of the Saint, the Platinum Alchemist

In the Arctic ice fields, snow was falling heavily and dark clouds covered the ground.

Lin Ye walked through the snow, looking around at the vast expanse of white, with only his own footprints behind him.

After glancing at the map, I couldn't determine my location, so I could only proceed in the predetermined direction.

"Waaaaah~ Waaaah~"

A fierce wind howled as Lin Ye climbed to a high point, looked ahead, and shook his head with a somewhat helpless smile.

A blizzard swept across the sky and the earth, a vast white curtain of snow bearing down on everything and obscuring all vision.

Lin Ye stepped back a little and lay down on the slope behind the high ground. Before long, a violent blizzard swept over him.

About half an hour later, the area that was once considered high ground had become flat, and the sun had come out.

"puff!"

A hand emerged from under the snow, and Lin Ye rolled over and lay face down on the snow.

It was fortunate that he had already reached the level of a martial arts master; otherwise, the magnitude of the earthquake would not have been enough to stop that kind of natural disaster.

Snowflakes hit the body surface, and the strong wind quickly takes away the body temperature. An ordinary person would freeze to death in less than half a minute, and even an earthquake of this magnitude would hardly last more than three minutes.

I sat up and looked around. Everything was white. The low-lying areas had been filled in.

He raised his arm to check the pointer, then glanced at the sun in the sky. After confirming his direction, he continued on his way.

After most of the day had passed, Lin Ye stood on a snowy cliff, looking at the undulating icebergs in front of him.

He took out his phone and compared the photos of the iceberg from which the red whale's body had been unearthed, quickly pinpointing the location.

Immediately, he leaped off the cliff, crashing heavily to the bottom, cracking the ice that had remained frozen for millennia.

"roar!"

A low growl came from behind, and a snow leopard rushed out of the cave. Lin Ye casually waved his hand, and the snow leopard was sent flying back the way it came.

After crashing into the stone wall, it fell to the ground and crouched low, backing away little by little.

Ignoring it, Lin Ye headed straight for the excavation site of the red whale's carcass.

Before long, he stood at the foot of an ice cliff, and with a wave of his hand, he swept away the snow on the ice cliff, revealing the iceberg inside.

After observing carefully for a while, Lin Ye frowned slightly.

The ice layer was so thick that the inside was so compressed it was almost white, making it impossible to see the depths.

Immediately, with a thought, he unleashed a torrent of black energy that swept through the solid ice and penetrated directly into the interior of the iceberg.

A moment later, a huge cavity appeared in his mind, a part of the ice layer was hollow.

The black torrent gradually converged, then without lingering, it climbed directly up the iceberg and headed towards the cavity.

With a loud bang, golden and ice-blue light flashed, creating a visual effect like fireworks.

Two figures, one in gold and one in blue, quickly separated and confronted each other.

The spray of snow gradually settled, revealing the figures of the two people.

The blonde, blue-eyed young woman had a sharp gaze and looked to be no more than twenty years old.

She was dressed in a gold and white nun's robe, holding a platinum scepter about the length of her arm, and her whole body radiated a gold and white glow.

On the other side, a middle-aged man with short, reddish-brown hair, wearing a black priest's robe, held a silver-blue scepter.

"Audrey, why bother? You inherited the Platinum Alchemy technique. Even if you received the inheritance of the King of Cold, you wouldn't be able to unleash its true power."

"Only we, the ice alchemists, can restore the glory of the King of Cold to the world."

Across from her, Audrey, dressed in a gold and white nun's habit, remained silent and indifferent, but the platinum glow around her body intensified, creating a burning sensation.

"Father Dean, you'd better know what you're doing. The legacy of the King of Cold is ordained by God. If you dare to contest it, there will be no place for you in Xilu!"

Dean smiled sarcastically upon hearing this. "So what? Why should we, the Ice Alchemists, pass on our legacy to a martial arts practitioner?"

"So what if I have nowhere to go? I've already made contact with the Red Lions; the Rhine Church there is the real Rhine Church!"

"You're already someone else's dogs! You may want to be dogs, but I don't!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them moved at the same time, transforming into two streaks of light that collided in the air.

From a distance, Lin Ye watched the two fighting and estimated their strength to be around the True Qi level.

However, these two people did not seem to have strong physical abilities, even weaker than some Void Qi cultivators.

It seemed as if some kind of power was supporting their bodies, which enabled them to sustain this level of combat.

Otherwise, a physical body at the Void Realm level would have exploded and died long ago if it used True Realm level power.

Is this an alchemist? What kind of power is that? It has a certain spiritual energy, completely different from the Qi of a martial artist.

The only similarity is that they all possess some kind of attribute power: his lightning attribute, that man's ice attribute, and that woman's unknown attribute.

However, that wasn't what bothered him the most.

Rather... it was just too coincidental.

He had no intention of getting involved in the inheritance of the King of Cold, but now it had directly landed on his face.

Something doesn't look good.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, the icy blue light in the field of vision suddenly shone brightly, instantly overshadowing the golden-white glow.

"A golden-white light crashed to the ground, creating a circular shockwave that swirled up the snowflakes."

"tread."

A pair of leather shoes lightly touched the ice as he walked slowly toward Audrey, his silver-blue scepter held to his right, less than two feet from the ice.

"Oh, beautiful and noble Audrey, it seems you are going to die here today."

"Don't worry, after you die, I will turn you into the most beautiful doll, and your beauty will last forever."

Dean smiled confidently, as if he could already picture the Audrey doll with its head tilted to the side and its eyes vacant.

It's so beautiful.

Audrey stood up, supporting herself on the ice. Her platinum scepter touched the ground, its base emitting a golden-white light that spread out like a ribbon.

At the same time, a divine power emanated from her body, her pupils turned golden, and her golden hair became translucent.

Dean's pupils suddenly contracted as he looked at Audrey in this state.

"Damn it! Holy Descent! You're actually a chosen one of the gods!"

Those favored by God are blessed by the Father and can draw upon a trace of the Father's power from heaven and earth to empower themselves, thereby gaining immense strength.

However, the price is heavy: the body will be unable to reproduce and can only be used thirteen times in a lifetime, after which the body will turn into a golden statue.

Without the slightest hesitation, he turned and fled.

Those in the state of divine presence are immortal; their bodies can transform into light, making them immune to all harm.

He shot forward dozens of meters, but the platinum light trailing behind him was several times faster and pierced through his chest.

The splattered blood hadn't even completely left the body before it was evaporated by the intense platinum glow, leaving only a faint reddish-gray residue.

Dean felt his blood evaporating and his body drying out due to dehydration, and a look of despair appeared on his face.

As he lay dying, a glimmer of clarity returned to his eyes.

If I had known, I wouldn't have come.

"Thump."

The platinum glow dissipated into particles of light, and Dean, looking like a dried-up corpse, fell to the ground. His eyeballs were shriveled, and his lips were pressed tightly against his teeth. He clearly didn't have much time left to live.

In the distance, Audrey lowered her right hand; her entire right arm had turned golden, but it quickly returned to its original flesh and blood form.

She breathed a slight sigh of relief, and was about to go over and end Dean's life when she suddenly stopped.

A tall figure in a white tracksuit appeared in front of Dean.

The figure slowly crouched down, placing his palm on Dean's head, and his somewhat unfamiliar Xilu language drifted over on the wind.

"Hey, are you dead? Teach me alchemy, and I'll save you."
