Facing a 10,000-meter-high mountain, anyone looks as small as an ant. When he feels the increasingly strong and heavy resistance, he cannot help but feel a sense of awe in his heart for this place of immortality.
Although Xue Chen could still resist the increasing pressure, his steps would inevitably slow down. Just like an ordinary person, he needed to climb up step by step.
When he stood on the 7,000-story platform, he quickly glanced around. This time, no one was ambushing him.
"There are already seven thousand floors here, but I don't know how many of the twenty-seven people are left."
After pausing for a while, as soon as he stepped onto the new stone steps, he felt a big fluctuation coming from above, as if something was going on.
He wanted to speed up and catch up to see what was happening in front of him, but the strong resistance prevented him from doing so. He could only endure it and head upward bit by bit.
Finally, after climbing more than three hundred stone steps, I vaguely saw that something was indeed happening above. There were several figures standing there, stagnant, and it seemed that nothing was blocking them.
He stared further ahead, and when he saw something faintly, he was shocked: "What is that..."
At this time, a total of seven people stayed there, all looking solemnly upward not far away.
After getting closer, Xue Chen first looked at these seven people. They all had different identities and came from different inheritances. Among them, Ge Shan from the Confucian South Foot Academy was also among them, as well as the monk Yuanfeng from the Faxiang Sect, and a Sa
Lama of Lun religion.
"He's here too!"
It was the descendant of Longhu Mountain who had attacked him on the five thousand stone steps platform before.
In addition to these people, he saw Bai Shuheng was also there, which slightly surprised him. He did not expect that Bai Shuheng was still in the place of immortality.
There was also the descendant of the Buyi Sect who had learned a swordsmanship with him.
When he approached, those people noticed and looked back, and when they saw him, they all showed some very different expressions.
Geshan nodded slightly and signaled, as did Monk Yuanfeng, while the others just glanced at him.
After recognizing the identities of these people, Xue Chen looked forward and saw a bird, but it was not an ordinary bird. It was very large, almost blocking the entire stone steps, like a hill, and it was not covered with anything.
Ordinary feathers are made of white-blue ice crystals, and they have nine heads. They are crawling there and sleeping. Every time they breathe in, the nine heads spurt out a stream of white cold air.
"This...is not a monster, it seems to be a magic spell."
Xue Chen looked at it intently. He could not feel the vitality and blood that a normal creature should have from this nine-headed ice bird, which meant that it was not a monster. Then there was only one possibility, that is, it was summoned by some kind of magic.
, just like the earth giant he summoned with the help of Tianji Technique, and the nine-headed ice bird in front of him gave him the feeling that he was no weaker than the earth giant.
However, he has not determined yet why these people are staying here. Is the Nine-Headed Ice Bird a threat, or...
At this moment, the descendant of Longhu Mountain took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Since everyone is not in a hurry, I will take the first step."
After saying that, he stepped on his feet, and the figure jumped up like lightning, performing a very good escape technique, trying to fly over the nine-headed ice bird.
But at this moment, the nine-headed ice bird that seemed to be sleeping suddenly exhaled, and nine white air pillars were sprayed in nine directions. Unfortunately, one of the air pillars happened to spit out at the dragon and tiger who wanted to shuttle through.
On the body of the descendant of the mountain.
"I……"
The descendant of Longhu Mountain only had time to say a word before half of his body was firmly covered by white-blue ice. A golden light came and he disappeared there.
Seeing this scene, Xue Chen's eyes twitched, and he finally understood why these people were gathered here. It turned out that this nine-headed ice bird was so dangerous. If he was not careful, he would be frozen, which meant death.
You will be kicked out of the place of immortality.
"Li Langtian and Qu Yan are not here, have they been kicked out? Probably not, that means they have passed." He asked the monk Yuanfeng who seemed to be very talkative, which confirmed his guess. Sure enough,
Not only Qu Yan and Li Langtian, but also two other people had passed away safely, including Monk Yuanding, who also belonged to the Faxiang Sect, and the rumored reincarnated Living Buddha of the Sarun Sect.
The four people, who were also famous descendants of the Yanhuang Department and three first-class inheritances, were obviously superior in strength and had surpassed the barrier of the nine-headed ice bird first.
"What's going on with this ice bird? It's clearly not a real life, but why does it appear here?" After a brief silence, the heir of the Buyi Sect asked in an annoyed tone.
Geshan frowned and replied: "According to calculations, this nine-headed ice bird should be a top treasure-level magic that has long since cut off its inheritance. Since it appears here, there is only one possibility that it is a former priest.
The soul realm seniors stayed here, but the reason is beyond our ability to guess."
"But since it's just a spell, how come it has survived to this day and is still blocking our way?" Bai Shuheng was puzzled.
Monk Yuanfeng sighed slightly: "How can we imagine the abilities of seniors in the Soul Sacrifice Realm? I heard that when you step into the Soul Sacrifice Realm, you can give souls to all living things. It can be regarded as the creation of another kind of life. I think
, although this nine-headed ice bird is just a magic technique, it may have its own soul, so it can exist here today."
Others also spoke up and discussed what to do, but none of them were sure that they could pass through safely with their own abilities.
During this period of time, Xue Chen has also been observing this seemingly sleeping nine-headed ice bird, and gradually discovered how scary it is. Although it is sleeping and has no intention of actively hurting anyone, every time it breathes
When the time comes, the nine heads will spray white cold air in nine directions without any warning.
And the power of the cold air has been seen just now, and it instantly froze the descendant of Longhu Mountain. If he hadn't been taken away by the golden light, he might have died!
"The time of exhalation is also irregular, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and the direction is difficult to figure out. It is really a ghost gate."
At this time, the heir to the commoner sect suggested that everyone join forces to destroy the nine-headed ice bird.
Upon hearing this proposal, everyone showed a little thoughtful expression, but no one agreed first and they were all worried.
Xue Chen also shook his head secretly. This nine-headed ice bird was sleeping, but the cold air it exhaled was so terrifying. If it was awakened, could everyone work together to solve it? He didn't think so.
And he didn't want to continue to waste time here. Since there was no other choice, there was only one way to go, and that was to break through. Whether he could get through was unknown. When he took a few steps forward, others naturally stared at him.
They all have their own calculations in their eyes.
In an instant, he moved, and just like the descendant of Longhu Mountain, he planned to pass over the huge body of the Nine-Headed Ice Bird. There was only this way to go, and all other places were blocked by its huge body.
"It's so cold!"
As soon as he got close to the nine-headed ice bird, he felt deeply the chill emanating from it, which was a bit unbearable for him, not to mention the terrifying white breath. Once it was sprayed, it would be an absolute disaster!
"No, it breathed!"
When they appeared above the nine-headed ice bird, the nine heads of the nine-headed ice bird simultaneously exhaled a mouthful of white cold air in different directions, and two of the breaths were directed towards Xue Chen.
When he saw the breath approaching, Xue Chen remained calm in the face of danger, and the laws of heaven and earth directly enveloped his surroundings. In his sight, the cold breath was inevitably affected by the river of time, and its speed suddenly slowed down.
, like slow motion.
"It only slowed down five times. This nine-headed ice bird is too strong."
Normally, time within the range affected by the River of Time would slow down a hundred times, which is also the maximum value. However, the breath of this nine-headed ice bird was only affected five times, weakening a full twenty times, which was also the maximum value.
In other words, this ice bird is more powerful than he imagined.
When Xue Chen passed through the Nine-Headed Ice Bird, everyone else watched intently. When they saw the white cold breath blowing out, they all had only one thought in their minds, that it would have the same result as the descendant of Longhu Mountain.
However, suddenly there was a slight distortion in the space, making it impossible for them to see clearly what was happening. When they could see clearly, they saw that the person had avoided the cold breath, and only a corner of his clothes was contaminated by the cold breath.
"It's passed?"
Seeing Xue Chen pass by, some looked calm, while others had jealousy flashing in their eyes.
What no one expected was that suddenly someone punched, and a solid force of energy hit the sleeping nine-headed ice bird directly like a giant hammer, leaving a trace on the ice crystal body.
A faint fist mark.
In an instant, a terrifying aura spread.
"Who is it? Are you crazy?!"
After reacting, everyone was shocked that someone had done such a stupid thing. They all looked over angrily and saw an inconspicuous man, Bai Shuheng from the Bai family of Yulong Cave.
Bai Shuheng's face was expressionless, but he let out a burst of triumphant laughter: "I know that I can't get through it with my ability, so don't even think about getting over it, we will die together."
"You" is naturally Xue Chen!
Xue Chenzheng got through by chance and was almost frozen into a popsicle. It was too dangerous. But the next moment, his expression changed. He clearly felt that a terrifying force was awakening underneath him. He subconsciously looked down.
When he went there, he saw that all the eyes of Ice Bird's nine heads were open, and the eyes of one of the heads were looking at him coldly.
Hearing the loud laughter from behind, he secretly said, "It's Bai Shuheng, damn it!" (To be continued)
