Therefore, even this extremely cold energy could not easily freeze Wang Teng.

However, even though he was certain that he could absorb the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, Wang Teng was still not in a hurry to absorb a large amount.

He first guided a small wisp of energy to slowly circulate within his body, allowing his meridians to gradually adapt to this unfamiliar energy.

Wherever the cold air passed, a thin layer of frost formed on the walls of the meridians, but under the cleansing power of Wang Teng's soul, the frost was quickly melted and transformed into pure energy that merged into his flesh and blood.

One lap, two laps, three laps...

Wang Teng's soul power, carrying a chilling aura, circulated repeatedly within his body. With each circulation, the ferocity of the chilling aura decreased, while its purity increased.

By the seventh cycle, the energy had become much gentler, like a tamed river flowing quietly through the meridians.

Wang Teng separated a wisp of filtered energy and transmitted it through his martial soul, allowing the sacred beasts outside to absorb it on their own.

Ah Yin was the first to benefit.

As energy entered her body, her body became more solidified.

The previously blurry edges have all become clear, as if the outline of a painting has been redrawn.

The Flame Bird absorbed a different kind of energy.

Although the Flaming Bird's attributes are exactly the opposite of those of the Ten-Thousand-Year Mystic Ice Marrow, this does not mean that it cannot absorb them.

Conversely, the clash between ice and fire triggered a violent reaction within the Flame Bird Sacred Beast.

The flames on the Flame Bird's body flickered, like candlelight being blown by the wind.

But soon, the flames stabilized, and their color changed from golden red to a deeper crimson gold. Although the temperature did not rise, the texture of the flames became noticeably more refined.

After absorbing energy, a faint blue pattern appeared on the golden shell of the Vajra Armor, crisscrossing like ice cracks, as beautiful as a piece of porcelain.

The changes to the Howling Tiger were the least noticeable. Its size hadn't increased, and its fur hadn't changed color, but its golden eyes had become even more profound, with a faint blue light flowing deep within its pupils.

Gale Steed, Shadow Bat, and Wind Chaser Leopard each absorbed some energy. Although there was no qualitative change, their auras were noticeably stronger than before.

Wang Teng did not stop.

He absorbed the ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing marrow piece by piece, and the cold energy in his body accumulated more and more, but Wang Teng's soul power also increased in sync, always maintaining a delicate balance.

Outside, a thin layer of frost formed on Wang Teng's skin, but the frost was melted by the heat surging from his body as soon as it formed, and then it condensed again, repeating this cycle endlessly.

Time passed little by little.

The blizzard outside the cave showed no signs of stopping; the wind howled in gusts, as if a thousand horses were trampling across the icy plain.

But the cave was quiet, with only the crackling of the campfire and Wang Teng's even breathing.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing stood guard near the cave entrance, one on each side, vigilantly watching for any movement outside.

Each of the sacred beasts performed its own duties: some guarded the gate, some protected the Dharma, and some silently absorbed the energy transmitted by Wang Teng.

Ah Yin suddenly opened her eyes.

A silver-blue light flashed in her eyes, and her aura suddenly surged—she had broken through some kind of limitation.

Originally, as a sacred beast, everything about her was limited by Wang Teng's soul power level.

However, after being filtered by Wang Teng, the energy of the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow actually formed an independent energy cycle within Ah Yin's body, allowing her to break free from Wang Teng's martial soul restrictions to some extent.

Ah Yin looked down at her hands, gently clenched them, and a smile appeared on her lips.

Then she raised her head and looked at Wang Teng, who was sitting cross-legged, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.

Wang Teng was unaware of these things.

Because at this moment, his entire mind was completely absorbed in absorbing the nutrients.

One after another, Wang Teng absorbed the energy from the millennia-old Xuanbing marrow, turning it into ordinary transparent crystals, which then shattered into powder.

Wang Teng's soul power is steadily increasing.

Level 64, Level 65, Level 66...

The wind and snow continued outside, while the blue light inside the cave grew brighter and brighter.

Chapter 444 Icefield Beast Tide, Arena of Life and Death

Outside the cave, the blizzard was still raging.

Wang Teng sat cross-legged deep inside the cave, surrounded by a ghostly blue light.

One by one, the ancient ice marrow shattered in his hands, turning into pure cold energy that surged into Wang Teng's body.

However, Wang Teng was unaware that the energy emanating from the ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing marrow was attracting the soul beasts on the ice plains like a light in the darkness.

Two hours later.

Amidst the wind and snow, two pairs of eerie green eyes lit up.

Those were two frozen demon wolves.

They are more than twice the size of ordinary wolves, covered in grayish-white fur, with the mane on their backs standing up like icicles.

The two frozen wolves' paws trod on the snow without making a sound. Their steps were light and eerie, like two white ghostly shadows, silently approaching the cave.

The two wolves stopped at the foot of the mountain wall, raised their heads, and stared intently at the cave entrance above, which was covered by ice and rock.

The aura of the Ten Thousand Years of Profound Ice Marrow wafted from there, so intense that it made their blood boil, and their saliva dripped down their mouths, instantly freezing into ice beads on the snow.

"Waaah—"

One of the wolves let out a low growl, the sound carrying far through the wind and snow.

Inside the cave, Zhu Zhuqing was the first to notice something amiss.

She was leaning against the rock wall near the cave entrance, resting with her eyes closed, when suddenly her ears twitched slightly, and her whole body straightened up like a spring.

Zhu Zhuqing walked silently to the cave entrance, turned sideways and poked half her face out, looking down.

Two frozen wolves were staring up at the cave entrance, their four eerie green eyes like will-o'-the-wisps in the darkness, sending chills down one's spine.

"Something's up."

Zhu Zhuqing lowered her voice and said something.

Ning Rongrong quickly came over, followed Zhu Zhuqing's gaze downwards, and her face immediately turned pale.

"Two... ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts?"

Ning Rongrong asked anxiously.

"Ah."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded, her soul power rapidly circulating within her body.

Ning Rongrong's hands clenched unconsciously as she glanced back at Wang Teng deep inside the cave.

At this moment, Wang Teng was still absorbing the spirit ring, and the blue light enveloped his entire body, making him completely unaware of everything outside.

Then, Ning Rongrong looked at the sacred beasts scattered throughout the cave.

Ah Yin, Flaming Bird, Vajra Armor, Howling Tiger, Gale Steed, Shadow Bat, and Wind Chaser Leopard—the seven sacred beasts each occupied a corner, some with their eyes closed in meditation, others vigilantly watching their surroundings.

"Don't panic."

Zhu Zhuqing's voice came from the cave entrance, comforting them: "Our cave is on the mountain wall, giving us a commanding view and an advantage over the two soul beasts."

"It won't be so easy for them to get up here."

Ning Rongrong took a deep breath, nodded, walked to Zhu Zhuqing's side, and stood inside the cave entrance. The Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda had already appeared in her palm.

Ah Yin also floated over silently, standing behind the two girls, her long blue hair swaying gently in the cold wind at the cave entrance.

"Roar--"

Below the mountain wall, a frozen demon wolf could no longer contain itself.

It opened its blood-red maw, from which a ball of icy blue light condensed. The light grew brighter and brighter, and the surrounding snowflakes were blown away by the shockwave.

"Wild Wolf Ice-Breaking Strike!"

A shockwave of icy blue shot out from the wolf's mouth, like a giant ice arrow, heading straight for the cave entrance.

Wherever the shockwave passed, the air seemed to freeze, and snowflakes condensed into ice crystals in mid-air, falling down with a whooshing sound.

At this moment, facing the oncoming attack, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong did not retreat.

"Seven treasures transform into lapis lazuli, and the seven treasures have names! First: Strength! Second: Speed! Third: Soul! Fourth: Control!"

Ning Rongrong's auxiliary light fell precisely on Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing felt her body lighten, and her strength and speed surged simultaneously.

She immediately stepped out of the cave and stood on the narrow platform, her claws outstretched, her soul power surging.

"Third Soul Skill: Netherworld Slash!"

A dark black slash flew out from Zhu Zhuqing's claws and collided violently with the icy blue shockwave in mid-air.

With a deafening roar, the two forces exploded simultaneously.

The blast wave made Zhu Zhuqing's robes flutter loudly.

"Roar--"

The other frozen wolf also moved.

Instead of charging head-on like the first one, it circled around to the side of the mountain wall and spat out an ice blade towards the cave entrance from another angle.

"Demon Wolf Ice Blade!"

The ice blade was as thin as a cicada's wing, with edges as sharp as a razor, and it spun as it slashed toward Zhu Zhuqing's waist.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't have time to turn around and could only dodge to the side.

The ice blade grazed Zhu Zhuqing's waist, tearing a gash in her clothes, from which crimson blood seeped out.

Zhu Zhuqing grunted and gritted her teeth to steady herself, only to find that her soul power was not flowing smoothly after the attack.

"Whoosh-"

At that moment, another ice blade flew over.

"not good."
