Chapter 1092: Three Great Demon Cultivators

Several demon beasts with transparent bodies like jellyfish were moving forward in a snowy field, braving the white, hazy wind and snow. (Website)

This kind of demon beast called "Cold Charm" was born from the cold air of heaven and earth, so although they were only level-five or six demon beasts, they had no fear of the wind and snow filling the sky and the bitter cold that could freeze breath; instead, they were all high-spirited and comfortable, as if they were fish in water.

Suddenly, the leading level-six Cold Charm paused, and the several pairs of red eyes growing on the sides of its body stared somewhat suspiciously at a certain place where the wind and snow were unusually dense. The other several level-five Cold Charms were also startled and looked over as well.

The sound of breaking through the air suddenly came out, and then several red threads shot out from the wind and snow, incomparably fast, piercing through the bodies of several Cold Charms in a flash, actually cutting their demon cores in half.

With a few "thuds," these Cold Charms shattered like ice blocks and fell to the ground.

At this time, figures moved in the wind and snow, and a female cultivator of Little Extreme Palace wearing a white cloak walked out slowly.

Although her face could not be seen clearly, she looked at the broken ice in front of her with cold eyes, then without a word, her figure flashed, and a moment later she disappeared into the wind and snow.

In another place a hundred miles away, a two-zhang-tall demon beast with a bull's head and human body was walking alone on an exceptionally crystal-clear ice lake on two feet. It had a pair of pitch-black curved horns on its head, and its whole body's fur was flashing with blue light, but it was carrying a giant blade the size of a cart wheel on its shoulder, moving forward with a swaying butt, looking somewhat clumsy and ridiculous.

But if any human cultivator saw this demon beast, they would probably absolutely not be able to laugh.

Because this was actually a level-seven demon beast on the verge of transformation.

And because the restriction on flying over North Underworld Island was fully opened, except for those level-eight or higher demon beasts that could ignore this restriction and continue to fly toward Little Extreme Palace, other demon beasts could only walk forward slowly to reach Little Extreme Palace.

Therefore, this demon beast, which was obviously not very proficient in escape techniques, could only honestly move forward step by step.

Suddenly, the giant blade on the demon beast's shoulder moved, as if something had flashed and disappeared.

A loud "boom" came from the side, and then a miserable scream came from the bottom of the lake.

The surface of the ice river strangely revealed a sharp blade mark several feet wide and two zhang long, appearing unfathomably deep.

Only then did the bull-headed demon beast look at the blade mark slowly.

And in the blink of an eye, a large amount of blood surged out from inside, and half a corpse actually floated up. Looking at the clothing and attire, it was exactly a male disciple of Little Extreme Palace.

It seemed that this person had originally used a water escape technique to hide under the ice, preparing to ambush the passing demon beast, but was actually seen through by this seemingly stupid level-seven demon beast and then slashed to death.

A look of cruelty flashed in the demon beast's eyes, and it grabbed with one hand into the void, sucking the half-corpse into its hand.

Then, it grinned and actually began to gnaw on the corpse directly.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, this half-corpse was all in the demon's belly. Only then did the demon rub its stomach with satisfaction and continue to move forward with the giant blade on its shoulder.

Similar slaughters occurred all over North Underworld Island, with either these low-tier demon beasts being ambushed to death, or Little Extreme Palace cultivators being killed and devoured by demon beasts.

However, both sides were only low-tier demon beasts and cultivators below the Core Formation stage. Nascent Soul cultivators and level-eight demon beasts seemed to ignore these fights. One side simply shrank in the Ice City and didn't come out, while the other side flew quickly over the wind and snow, ignoring any events happening below.

This was not because these high-tier demon beasts didn't want to kill these low-tier Little Extreme Palace cultivators, but because they were now under the restriction of flying, and searching for those Little Extreme Palace cultivators proficient in various escape techniques in the wind and snow filling the sky was really not an easy task. Some Little Extreme Palace cultivators even carried special magic tools that could cover their aura, making them even more difficult to discover. And even if they occasionally killed a few cultivators, it would have no effect on the overall situation; instead, it was better to save magic power for the real great war to come. After all, when it really came to a life-and-death struggle, every bit of magic power was extremely precious.

Just as the demons were gradually approaching the Ice City, in a certain hall of the Han Li Secret Realm, the beautiful woman surnamed Liu sat upright on a jade chair in the hall. In front of her sat two rows of Nascent Soul level Little Extreme Palace elders, quietly listening to a disciple in white clothing reporting the situation of the disciples sent to intercept the demon beasts.

"... Of the one hundred high-tier disciples sent this time, thirty-seven life tablets have been extinguished. We have obtained confirmed news that a total of one hundred and twenty-eight demon beasts of various levels have been killed, most of which are Ice Sea demon beasts. Now the second team of disciples has also been sent out, and it is expected that in an hour, they should meet with the first batch of disciples and come into contact with those demon beasts." The disciple said respectfully.

"Thirty-seven disciples have fallen; it seems the time is almost up. They should all be within a range of one hundred thousand miles of the Ice City. Notify Elder Ye to start using the Sea-Suppressing Bell in an hour. This time, we must heavily damage the low-tier demon beasts of the Ice Sea. Otherwise, when they attack our Little Extreme Palace, these cannon fodder will also be a big trouble." The beautiful woman didn't even blink when she heard this.

"Yes, Palace Master!" An elder with a youthful face and white hair heard this, immediately raised one hand, and a sound transmission talisman shot out of his hand, circling once before flying out of the hall.

"Junior Brother Ding, open all the restriction arrays. I estimate that once this treasure is used, those high-tier demon beasts of the Ice Sea will probably go crazy out of grief for their own kind." The beautiful woman ordered indifferently again.

"Yes!" Another elder stood up and agreed, turning into a streak of light and walking out.

"Also notify the disciples who went out of the city to be careful. The effect of the Sea-Suppressing Bell can only be maintained for at most the time of an incense stick, and once used, it will sleep for over a hundred years. Once this time passes, all disciples must be transmitted back to the city immediately, and then immediately close all secret transmission arrays. Save from being used by the demon creatures to invade our palace..."

"Obey!"

After the beautiful woman's series of orders were issued, figures flickered one after another, and one Nascent Soul level cultivator after another went out to receive orders.

Almost at the same time, a few hundred miles away from the Ice City, a large group of high-tier demon beasts all arrived at the same location and landed their light on a small ice mountain.

In front was the coverage area of the Little Extreme Palace's great guardian formation. Looking at the large area of cold fog, all the transformed demon beasts had solemn expressions on their faces.

This group of demon beasts was clearly divided into two groups. One group had only a dozen or so, surrounding an old man and a young child, one tall and one short, while the other group had over twenty, but they were surrounding a slender woman in silver robes.

But strangely, the group of demon beasts with fewer people were all dressed neatly, and except for their somewhat strange appearance, their behavior and actions were exactly the same as human cultivators, and the looks they cast at the other group of demon beasts actually carried a trace of contempt.

The other group of demon beasts, which were more numerous, were all fierce and evil, and most of them wore simple clothing like animal fur, and some were even directly naked on their upper bodies.

They also carried some weapons like knives, swords, axes, and halberds, either on their backs or directly in their hands. As for the storage bags refined from animal skin at their waists, it was unknown why they didn't put these weapons into them. Each of these demon beasts emitted a fierce aura, and the looks they cast at the other group of demon beasts were not very kind either.

These two groups of demon beasts stood on both sides of the ice mountain top, with distinct boundaries, actually quite incompatible like water and fire.

However, if any unknown cultivator passed by here by accident and saw these two groups of demon beasts, they would probably immediately be scared and flee.

Because this group of demon beasts were all transformed demon beasts of level-eight or higher, and that old man, young child, and the silver-robed woman were even high-level demon beasts of level-ten.

Such powerful strength could probably suppress most sects of the Righteous and Demon Ten Sects. Not to mention that high-tier demon beasts were originally several points stronger than cultivators of the same level.

Among the demon beasts, the old man in a soap robe had a square and majestic face, eyes shining like torches, and his gray hair was faintly glowing with green light, actually giving people a feeling of majesty without anger. And the young boy who looked only six or seven years old was handsome, as if he were a jade child from heaven, but his pair of eyes were slightly reddish, as if a layer of blood color was covering his pupils, but the corners of his mouth always carried a faint, light smile.

As for the silver-robed woman on the other side, she had an elegant appearance and skin like snow, actually a great beauty of national beauty and heavenly fragrance.

However, just as this delicate beauty's gaze turned, the fierce high-tier demon beasts surrounding her lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look directly, all looking terrified.

"Fairy Feng, I didn't expect these human cultivators of Little Extreme Palace to be so willing to take action, actually releasing all the cold air accumulated on the island for nearly a thousand years at once. If Little Extreme Palace encounters any great enemy in the future, I wonder how they will deal with it." The old man suddenly laughed and said.

"Fellow Daoist Qing, why ask when you already know? We are not here for the cold marrow this time. The human cultivators of Little Extreme Palace don't know about this. Naturally, they will fight to the death and use all their magic treasures. Otherwise, once we attack, even if they save more cold air, what's the use." The silver-robed woman's expression moved, and she replied coldly.

"However, I am really surprised that Fellow Daoist Feng would come out in person this time. I heard that Fairy has been in seclusion for two thousand years and would no longer leave Ice Abyss Island." The young child also spoke, but what came out was an exceptionally old voice, as if he were a seventy-year-old man, which was extremely strange and inconsistent with his appearance.

"If it were other matters, it naturally wouldn't move me, but since it concerns ascending to the Spirit Realm, how could this Island Master feel at ease just letting my subordinates come? Didn't you also send your incarnation in person, Fellow Daoist?" The silver-robed woman's gaze turned to the young child and said calmly.

"Haha, I didn't expect Fairy to agree immediately when I mentioned this. This is really beyond my expectation! It seems Fellow Daoist Feng has also been dissatisfied with Little Extreme Palace for a long time, and has long wanted to take the opportunity to eliminate this lineage of cultivators left in the mortal world by the Ice Soul Fairy of the past. Speaking of which, this time Fellow Daoist Feng has greatly borrowed the power of our Ten Thousand Demon Valley!" The young child narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.
