"You are also very cute!" Chu Qin said with a smile as he looked at Gu Yuena. Then he turned to Qian Renxue and asked tenderly, "Xue'er, it's so late, why haven't you gone to sleep?"
Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes narrowed as she walked up to Chu Qin, and her hand suddenly found something.
"Xue'er, you..." Chu Qin's pupils shrank as he spoke.
"You jerk, you promised Sister Na'er to cultivate Soul Power together, but instead..." Qian Renxue's voice was soft but harsh, filled with resentment.
"I don't care, I'm angry!" As she spoke, Qian Renxue turned her head away, crossing her arms in front of her chest and being capriciously proud.
"Xue'er... don't be angry," Chu Qin said with a light smile, "How about I take you with me?"
"That's what I was waiting for!" Qian Renxue's expression changed dramatically, and she walked straight into the tent.
Chu Qin and Gu Yuena exchanged glances, shook their heads at each other, and followed her in.
The night passed without words.
However, next to the campsite, due to the leakage of Chu Qin's energy, two intense sandstorms were triggered!
It was as if the sky and earth were flipping, the sandwaves reaching to heaven!
The day in the Dragon Tomb was extremely long, at least four to five days in the outside world, but the night was about the same as outside, only half a day.
This gave Chu Qin some relief, after all, spending one day in these depths was equivalent to three days outside!
Dawn broke.
Chu Qin and his party packed up their tents and continued escorting Situ Lei towards the deeper parts of the Dragon Tomb.
The group flew about five hundred miles more.
Curiously, the dim sky of the desert suddenly became somewhat brighter, but the temperature gradually dropped, with some of the sand even condensing frost traces.
Of course, the temperature change was negligible to people like Chu Qin.
"Situ Lei, how much longer until we reach the core of the Dragon Tomb?" Xu Qingtian asked as he flew alongside Chu Qin, leading Situ Lei by a chain.
"Soon, we have already reached the Ice Desert, which means we have crossed half of the Ice and Fire Two Realms Desert!" Situ Lei replied.
"Chu Qin, there is a strong presence here, we must be cautious!" Gu Yuena said, holding Chu Qin's hand as a reminder.
"Where?" Chu Qin asked.
With her other hand, Gu Yuena pointed to the icy ground beneath them.
"Roar!"
Just at that moment, a dull roar of a beast erupted from beneath the ice.
The roar, thunderous and ear-piercing, shook the space around them, rumbling loudly.
Upon hearing this, Chu Qin immediately activated his Eyes of Insight, and sure enough, beneath the ice layer, there was a rapidly moving creature.
The speed was too fast, Chu Qin could not yet discern what it was.
"It seems like there is a remarkable soul beast down there!" Deepsea Devil Whale King's pupils also shrank as he said, "Chu Qin, I'll go check it out first!"
"Alright, be careful!" Chu Qin nodded.
The Deepsea Devil Whale King landed on the ice layer. The ice here seemed to be perennially accumulated, and the surface appeared indestructible.
"Roar!"
However, in the next second, the ice layer suddenly cracked open, and the area of the break reached several meters in radius. Following a fierce roar from the beast, a colossal Ice Dragon burst forth from the ice layer!
At that moment, all of the ice broke apart, turning into a vast lake!
The Deepsea Devil Whale King sank to the bottom of the lake.
The Ice Dragon was a staggering one hundred and fifty meters in length, its body covered with ice-crystal-like scales, its four limbs robustly mighty, yet most crucially, it had three identical heads with six golden eyes!
"A dragon of another breed, the Three-headed Golden-eyed Ice Dragon!" Gu Yuena immediately cried out its name!
"Is it the Dragon King?" Chu Qin asked.
"A remnant soul!" Gu Yuena replied, "It's even more fragmented than Minglong's Remnant Soul, the Deepsea Devil Whale King should be able to handle it!"
No sooner had Gu Yuena finished speaking than the Deepsea Devil Whale King transformed from his human form back into his original body.
In an instant, the Deepsea Devil Whale King's two-hundred-meter-long body leaped out from beneath the surface of the lake, opening its abyss-like maw, and biting towards the body of the Three-headed Golden-eyed Ice Dragon!
Seeing this, the Ice Dragon opened all three of its dragon mouths at the same time, emitting three beams of icy light.
But, the body of the Deepsea Devil Whale King turned from the color of sapphires to a magma color, akin to flames, and shattered all the ice!
"Hiss!"
The Ice Dragon, bitten by the massive jaws of the Deepsea Devil Whale King, let out a sharp roar from all three of its mouths.
The next moment, the body of the Ice Dragon completely broke into fragments and dissipated into the air.
"As expected of the Demon Emperor!"" Lan Jing'er, Xu Yichen, and Xu Shi Yun exclaimed almost simultaneously.
"This Deepsea Devil Whale King, he has actually completed the process of Dragon Transformation!" Gu Yuena also exclaimed with a slight surprise, "But, why do I feel like he's a bit different from ordinary soul beasts?"
Hearing Gu Yuena's words, Chu Qin's pupils slightly shifted. After all, the current Deepsea Devil Whale King was merely his guardian spirit, not the true overlord of the seas from bygone days!
After slaying the three-headed Ice Dragon, with a "bang", the Deepsea Devil Whale King once again dove back into the depths of the lake!
"What, he was the overlord of the seas, the Deepsea Devil Whale King!" Situ Lei exclaimed in shock.
"Situ Lei, weren't expecting that, were you!" Xu Qingtian said with a cold smile, seeing Situ Lei's inexperienced appearance, "Everyone present here has a significant background. You cannot escape! Don't tell me you intentionally led us here, because if so, your death will be a miserable one!"
"God forbid! God forbid!" Out of fear, Situ Lei hastily replied. He regretted why he had left his stronghold to snatch Qian Renxue's soul bone, thereby provoking such a group of defy-the-heavens individuals!
"Eh, Na'er, doesn't the Ice Dragon remnant soul have a Soul Ring?" Chu Qin asked, puzzled.
"This Ice Dragon was very weak to begin with, plus it's even more fragmented than Minglong's Remnant Soul, so it has no Soul Ring!" Gu Yuena explained.
"Demon Emperor, come up, it's time to leave!" Lan Jing'er shouted.
"Chu Qin, come down here quickly, it's all good stuff underneath!" Who knew that the voice of the Deepsea Devil Whale King would come from the bottom of the lake!
"What good stuff!" Chu Qin called back.
"Come down quick... Ah..." Suddenly, the Deepsea Devil Whale King let out a piercing cry of pain.
Immediately afterward, the originally calm lake surface began to churn!
"Demon Emperor, something's wrong!" Lan Jing'er cried out in alarm.
"Na'er, Phoenix Child, stay here to protect them, I'll go take a look!" Chu Qin was slightly startled and immediately rushed into the depths of the lake.
Chu Qin, possessing the Sea Transformation skill, could move freely in the water, and quickly reached a position two hundred meters below the surface of the lake.
The scene before him made Chu Qin's eyes light up. The lake bottom wasn't dark, but instead shone brightly.
On closer inspection, he saw that a large number of magnificent crystals extended from the lake bottom.
Each was a hundred meters tall!
"What is this!" Chu Qin exclaimed in surprise. He had seen these crystals before at the bottom of Star Lake in the Aquipeia Forest!
"This is Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow!" At that moment, a more astonished voice rang out in Chu Qin's mind, belonging to the Skydream Ice Silkworm.
"Skydream Ice Silkworm, are these really all Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow?" Chu Qin asked.
"No mistake!" the Skydream Ice Silkworm confirmed, "In my life, I might be wrong about anything, but I can smell even the residue or air of Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow without any exaggeration!"
"Then, there are hundreds of blocks of Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow here..." Even Chu Qin was moved.
