Chapter 1371: Collecting the Light Sphere

Ye Liuyun tried to release his Divine Sense to perceive what lies underground.

But the Divine Sense could actually be extinguished by those five-colored lights.

He tested it with his hand; the moment it made slight contact, flesh and blood also melted away.

Moreover, the wounds caused by this light healed far more slowly than his usual battle injuries.

Then Ye Liuyun used his Golden Pupil to look at the ground, finally seeing the situation inside.

Underground was a spacious Grand Hall, with a five-colored light sphere placed at its center.

Those five-colored lights emanated from that sphere.

Since he could not probe with Divine Sense, Ye Liuyun could not tell how much energy remained inside the sphere.

He took out the energy-detecting divination plate and tried again, finding the plate pointed straight toward that direction, indicating relatively abundant energy.

Ye Liuyun sat nearby, contemplating a way to take the sphere.

He glanced at the mink fur in his hand.

And suddenly got an idea.

He went outside, collected several mink corpses, and tested again.

But the result was that these low-level mink furs could not block the five-colored light.

Only a Tianzun Realm mink could.

"Alas, we can only waste a piece of mink fur!"

Ye Liuyun thought of this, ordering his duplicate and Liang Xue to peel off the entire mink fur, while he stood far outside, blasting the ground's hole to enlarge it.

"Swish!"

A thicker five-colored light leaked out, directly widening the Grand Hall's ceiling hole by another ring.

And it kept rising, blasting a large hole through the ice palace's upper wall, letting even more outside light pour in instantly.

"No wonder there's light here; that's how it came!"

Ye Liuyun was exclaiming when, suddenly, a mournful eagle cry echoed from the ice palace's top.

"Bad! This light is too intense; the ferocious beasts outside have noticed it, and more will likely rush over soon!"

Ye Liuyun immediately urged Liang Xue and the duplicate to quickly prepare the mink fur.

He wasn't worried about beasts charging down from above, but feared they would find the Cave entrance.

Soon after, beast roars came from outside the cave, confirming his fear.

He immediately left the Grand Hall, rushed to the end of the ice bridge, and intercepted the incoming beasts there.

The first to arrive was an ice bear, massive in size; halfway across, it was instantly sucked into the abyss.

But the beasts that kept arriving grew increasingly numerous.

Upon seeing the five-colored light, they immediately rushed onto the ice bridge.

Some beasts even started fighting on the spot.

"The mink fur is ready; you stay here, I'll go get the light sphere!"

The duplicate said to Ye Liuyun.

At this moment, the duplicate wrapped itself entirely in the mink fur, not even exposing its eyes.

Its Golden Pupil could see the outside through the mink fur without needing to emerge.

A Tianzun Realm mink was two or three times Ye Liuyun's size, with plenty of spare fur that could be used to contain the energy light sphere.

"Good!"

Ye Liuyun instantly used Space Translocation to move the duplicate directly to the ground's hole.

The duplicate did not hesitate at all and leapt in.

Below was an empty void.

The walls were all bright, mirror-like ice surfaces that could reflect the five-colored light back.

"Probably the original builders deliberately polished the ice walls here,"

The duplicate thought this while wrapping the light sphere with the mink fur.

When the five-colored light vanished, the beasts crossing the ice bridge immediately grew frantic, roaring as they sped toward this side.

From the Cave's top, several snow eagles swooped down directly toward the Grand Hall.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil flashed; using spatial power, he instantly moved the duplicate back to the Space World, then returned to the ice palace himself, activating a shadow concealment technique to hide his form.

At that moment, the entire ice palace began to tremble.

Many beasts on the ice bridge were shaken down directly.

However, what surprised these beasts this time was that the suction beneath the abyss had vanished.

They could actually lift off into the air.

"It seems this light sphere is the ice palace's Primordial Power.

Once the Primordial Power is taken, the energy sustaining this place disappears, and the entire ice palace, ice bridge, and the abyss's suction will vanish as well."

The ice palace had already begun to collapse, the ground shaking so violently that one could barely stand.

Those snow eagles continued bombarding the ice palace's ceiling, assuming the one who took the light sphere was still inside.

"There are too many beasts on the ice bridge now; we definitely can't get through.

I'll just blast out through that hole at the Cave's top!"

Ye Liuyun now found it difficult to leave; the Cave's entrances were blocked by beasts, and he could only escape through the hole created by the light sphere.

So he instantly rose into the air and flew toward that opening.

The beasts charging from the opening had by then already begun fighting the snow eagles.

Ice shards from the Cave's top kept falling, and the ice palace's collapse caused a rumbling roar inside the cavern.

On top of the beasts' roars and the sounds of battle, he slipped away unseen and did not attract the beasts' attention.

So smooth!

Ye Liuyun watched himself about to fly away and felt very relieved.

Below, the beasts were still locked in chaotic fighting, completely unaware that the one who took the treasure had already left!

There's an ambush!

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense suddenly detected someone outside, spreading a high‑rank metal net, waiting beside to let people out.

Ye Liuyun stopped immediately.

The mountain itself was already long, and five‑colored light blasts carved a long cylindrical passage, its walls all smooth.

He intended to retreat, but unexpectedly a snow eagle, pursued by beasts, flew toward the opening.

The snow eagle was huge, spiraling along the cylindrical tunnel as it surged forward at great speed.

Damn it!

Ye Liuyun pressed against the stone wall, calculating the snow eagle's rotation angle and timing.

At the moment the snow eagle brushed past him, Ye Liuyun swiftly shifted left, narrowly forcing the snow eagle aside.

Behind, chasing the snow eagle, was a fox‑wolf, which while pursuing also clawed the wall to accelerate.

Each swipe could gouge a large hole in the stone wall.

Ye Liuyun evaded the snow eagle but not the fox‑wolf.

He had to tilt his head to avoid the vital spot.

His shoulder and chest‑abdomen were struck squarely by the fox‑wolf's claws.

Fortunately his Physical Body was strong; the fox‑wolf only tore his skin, causing no serious injury.

The fox‑wolf, still chasing the snow eagle at high speed, paid no attention to Ye Liuyun.

It clutched the mountain wall with both front and rear claws, rushing upward, and suddenly sensed something wrong after the latest swipe.

Yet it relied on momentum and surged upward.

The snow eagle ahead was too close; it was reluctant to let the captured snow eagle slip away.

As soon as the snow eagle's head emerged, a large net caught it.

Its newly spread wings blocked the fox‑wolf's view.

When the snow eagle halted, the fox‑wolf immediately lunged and bit it.

Both of them were caught in the net together.
