第两千零四十九章 冰魄分魂

"Stupid fellow, I've told you that struggling is futile," the young girl's face showed a hint of mockery. Then, with a flick of her jade hand, a silver platter flew out, carrying a melon-shaped fruit.

The chaotic shadow figure instantly displayed joy upon seeing this item and opened its bloodstained maw wide, extending its tongue to snatch it before swallowing it whole.

"Expel!"

The young girl's hands formed various mudras as she softly chided the chaos.

The chaos did not erupt in anger but instead emitted black-red demonic energy, flying towards the sky above her head.

After about a cup of tea's time,

Boom!

An unimaginable thunderclap echoed through the air. Compared to the lightning and thunder, it was utterly insignificant; the entire space trembled violently.

Then, a light halo appeared, and a crack, roughly a yard wide, gradually emerged in the sky above her head.

This wasn't just any spatial rift but true void fragmentation.

From that gap, a fist-sized light ball flew out, extremely dark. It contained an incomparably pure essence of true demons.

It slowly flew towards the coffin at the center of the altar.

The young girl held her breath, her expression agitated. This method was taught to her by Ice Spirit Demon Ancestor before she descended to this world. But as Sister Xiaoguan also said, even if that chaotic shadow figure used self-explosion to open a spatial rift, the success rate would only be around 30%.

Nevertheless, even if it wasn't, they should still find some clues about this treasure. The effort spent on finding the Demon Treasure was definitely worth it.

The demonic girl thought as she watched the black light ball enter the coffin at the altar's center.

Boom!

Demonic energy surged out, accompanied by a faint scent of grass and flowers. After a while, the black coffin was enveloped in demonic wind, slowly rising before exploding open.

A yard-wide light ball appeared before them, though what was inside couldn't be seen clearly, it was obviously the figure of a graceful woman, as if just waking up from sleep, her posture resembling that of stretching.

Meanwhile, countless miles away,

The battle raged on. Despite Lin Xuan's help, the ancient demons' numbers were too great; even with human cultivators and beastfolk gradually falling behind, it was like a tiger couldn't withstand a pack of wolves. Fortunately, at this critical moment, Liu Ying's main force finally arrived.

Although their individual strength could not match that of the vanguard, they had enough numbers—five million cultivators in total. While still far fewer than the ancient demons, it was timely reinforcements. With them joining, although they were still slightly on the back foot, at least their formation was stabilized.

From afar, the scene was breathtakingly magnificent, impossible to describe with words. Cultivators, beastfolk, and ancient demons fought in every direction, various colored light beams and demonic energies passing through the sky.

There were both solo battles and formations; no one could afford to rest as they desperately used their treasures to attack each other.

At this moment, an unimaginable thunderclap echoed through the air. The volume was so great that even a million cultivators' battle noise couldn't mask it, everyone hearing clearly.

Many paused in their actions, but only for a moment before explosions resounded again as various spiritual essences and demons clashed with demonic winds.

Lin Xuan's sleeve fluttered, sending out a beam of light. The light enveloped everything within a hundred feet around him, turning all ancient demons into nothingness, even the few Incorporeal Core cultivators didn't escape.

The surrounding ancient demons retreated like a tide, everyone's faces filled with fear and trepidation. Although ancient demons were more aggressive than cultivators, it still depended on their relative strength.

Facing a late-stage Profound Transformation cultivator, who would dare to challenge?

Lin Xuan didn't pursue further; he was just one person after all, killing too many ancient demons wouldn't be meaningful. He raised his head and narrowed his eyes, looking in the direction of where that thunderclap had come from.

As a late-stage Profound Transformation cultivator, Lin Xuan felt the strange fluctuations in the surrounding cosmic energy, suggesting possible void fragmentation.

This thought made him look very serious.

He was always curious why ancient demons gathered such elite forces to fight against cultivators here when they could have chosen better options.

After much contemplation, he realized that perhaps there had been some unforeseen changes within their ranks, necessitating a delay in time.

Though it was just a guess, Lin Xuan found this theory increasingly plausible.

If so, staying here would be foolish and right into the ancient demons' trap.

Without hesitation, Lin Xuan's sleeve fluttered again, sending several sword beams flying towards Baixuan Pavilion's four women and Liu Ying.

Sword transmission!

With his strength, he could pinpoint any location with precision; ancient demons couldn't intercept this item.

Then, Lin Xuan flashed to the left.

"Master is heading for the main demon lair."

Lu Ying raised her head, reading the flying sword message in her hand. Her eyes sparkled with a hint of worry but quickly replaced by resolve. Master did what he had to do; she just needed to support him.

The thoughts of Liu Xin's three women were similar. Liu Ying's face was more somber, but what could she do? Fortunately, only they knew about this matter, so the impact on morale wouldn't be as severe.

Without her uncle here and reinforcements led by Kang Xiaoru not yet arriving, she had to shoulder more responsibility for the current situation. With that thought, Liu Ying's jade hand fluttered, sending out a divine sword towards the ancient demons.

At the main demon lair, the demonic winds surrounding the light ball finally dispersed, and the halo gradually faded, revealing a beautiful young girl.

She was a silver-haired girl with bare feet, appearing to be only in her teens. Though she was breathtakingly beautiful, there wasn't an ounce of magical power on her; she looked like an ordinary mortal woman.

No one would associate such beauty with the most terrifying true demon ancestor. However, appearances can be deceiving.

Ice Spirit Demon Ancestor was a figure comparable to scattered immortals millions of years ago and could rank among the top three even among true demon ancestors.

Although this was just a fragment of her soul, it was still formidable. This avatar had been formed from an enlivened ginseng root, inherently endowed with some plant attributes, its appearance identical to the original, truly breathtaking beauty.

The first beauty in the demon realm!

She could rank third among all three realms after Axi and Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox.

Unlike Yue'er, her face was completely unveiled. Her beauty was beyond description; even the most famous beauties like fish sinking or flowers falling paled in comparison to hers.

Due to being just a fragment of her soul, her realm was only early-stage Profound Transformation.

She didn't carry any treasures, but that mattered little. The name Ice Spirit Demon Ancestor alone could strike fear into people's hearts. Her various magical techniques were countless; ordinary late-stage Profound Transformation cultivators couldn't compare to her. Correctly speaking, she and "same-level cultivators" belonged to different categories.

If a common late-stage Profound Transformation cultivator faced this Ice Spirit Demon Ancestor, instant death might be an exaggeration, but three or two punches could certainly kill them.

"Servant greets Sister Xiaoguan."

The demonic girl named Qiyun hurriedly knelt down.

"Excellent work," the Ice Spirit Demon Ancestor's gaze swept over her surroundings before speaking calmly.

"Sister Xiaoguan flatters me. I merely followed your instructions; what merit is there?" The young girl spoke with respect.

"How are things now?" The Ice Spirit Demon Ancestor didn't waste time on trivialities but directly got to the point.
