Chapter 749: Seven Ice Corpses
Since their rebirth, it was the first time they've seen an intact Divine-level Profound Weapon.
Duan Gujin inspected some small objects nearby and found them to be not very useful, far less important than the Fire Control Heavenly Divine Order.
"My physique is not suitable for using the Fire Control Heavenly Divine Order, you take it! Apart from cultivating the Heavenly Maiden Heart Technique, I've also been cultivating the Moon Bright Heart Technique of the Moonlight Fairy!"
Qing Lian said.
"Moonlight Fairy? Is she the one rumored to have embarked on the ancient path of True Immortal, the Moonlight Fairy?"
Duan Gujin slightly furrowed his brows and asked.
"Yes, I found the mental method she used to cultivate in the past, but I didn't have enough time to cultivate then, plus her Cultivation Technique conflicted with my fully mastered Heavenly Maiden Heart Technique, so I didn't practice it at that time! Now, I'm cultivating the Heavenly Maiden Heart Technique while also cultivating the Moon Bright Heart Technique, merging them together!"
Qing Lian said.
"Oh!"
Duan Gujin had heard of the Moon Bright Heart Technique of the Moonlight Fairy and knew it was an Advanced Cultivation Method.
The Heavenly Maiden Heart Technique focused on the cultivation of the Divine Soul and internal power, while the Moon Bright Heart Technique focused on Martial Skills.
Although Qing Lian had practiced the Heavenly Maiden Heart Technique, she lacked the corresponding Martial Skills, and the Moon Bright Heart Technique happened to make up for this shortcoming.
"Let's go out from the top level!"
One of the Jade Scrolls had a map of the area, indicating that the exit was in the corridor above them.
Duan Gujin and Qing Lian took all the items from the stone box, leaped, and ascended to the corridor above.
After they ascended, they saw a huge stone slab below moving quickly.
By observing the movement of the slab, they judged that it was meant to seal the Ice Corpses in the ice path below, preventing them from coming out and endangering the human world.
A moment later, they saw that the slab had thoroughly sealed the entire lower passage.
They took a deep breath and proceeded according to the map instructions on the Jade Scroll.
They traveled a certain distance and found themselves on a vast ice plain.
The sky was gray, and they judged they were likely no longer in the previous ice path.
The previous ice path they passed through was very narrow, with only one road, and to avoid the Ice Corpses, they could only find places to hide.
But the ice plain they were on now was extremely large, and they could use various Secret Techniques to avoid the Ice Corpses here.
They looked around and found a Stele ahead.
They walked up to check the Stele and discovered it stated they must eliminate a thousand Ice Corpses in five time units, all of which were at the First Level of Martial Saint.
Moreover, it was written that if they couldn't eliminate the Ice Corpses within five time units, they would be permanently trapped there.
"I didn't expect the final challenge to be to eliminate the Ice Corpses here."
There was also a stone box below the Stele.
They opened the stone box and found hundreds of name tags inside.
Duan Gujin picked up a stone name tag and focused his Divine Sense within.
In less than ten breaths, he learned that the name tag was a Recording Name Plate.
If they successfully killed the Ice Corpses ahead, the Recording Name Plate would record how many Ice Corpses they had destroyed.
Once the task was completed, they would receive the rewards of the eighth challenge.
"Qing Lian, you also take a name tag! We need to eliminate those Ice Corpses here, one by one!"
Duan Gujin had Qing Lian take a name tag, then they activated the Recording Name Plate.
After confirming that the Recording Name Plate worked properly, Duan Gujin and Qing Lian charged forward.
Each holding a Dark Weapon previously found in the seven treasuries, they extended their Divine Sense to seek out the Ice Corpses.
Excitingly, they discovered there was no magic obstruction on the ground here; their spell attacks could reach those Ice Corpses.
Moreover, they could use Divine Sense for exploration here.
They moved forward several hundred meters and detected seven Ice Corpses on the left front.
Duan Gujin and Qing Lian rushed together to those seven Ice Corpses. After getting close, they first used Divine Sense to explore and, determining that the seven Ice Corpses' cultivation was at Martial Emperor First Level, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"You wait here, I'll go check how strong those Ice Corpses are."
Duan Gujin quickly said to Qing Lian.
"Alright!"
Qing Lian replied.
Duan Gujin walked ahead, first using a rock to hit one of the Ice Corpses, trying to lure it away.
His first attempt failed, but he didn't give up. After several attempts, the Ice Corpse began to react to the constant barrage of rocks.
The Ice Corpse let out a sneering howl, and then the other six Ice Corpses followed suit.
Seeing the nearly identical movements of the seven Ice Corpses, Duan Gujin's expression slightly changed as he immediately realized a possibility.
"These Ice Corpses are different from those in the ice path; they use howls to communicate with one another!"
Soon, he saw the seven Ice Corpses charging toward him together.
He took a deep breath and quickly employed the Extreme Thunder Technique.
Moments later, around his body appeared the Extreme Thunder Sea, and countless Extreme Thunder Dragons rolled within.
Ahead, the seven Ice Corpses, undeterred by the formation of the Extreme Thunder Sea, continued to rush toward Duan Gujin's position.
Seeing the Ice Corpses gathered together not dispersing, Duan Gujin's eyes flashed, recognizing it as the perfect opportunity to launch an attack on the seven Ice Corpses.
So he waved his right hand, sending fourteen Extreme Thunder Dragons charging at the seven Ice Corpses.
"Howl! Howl!"
The Ice Corpses, sensing Duan Gujin's attack, immediately howled sharply.
At their cries, Duan Gujin saw a cluster of white ice mist swiftly appear around their bodies.
The rumbling echoed, and then Duan Gujin saw the seven Ice Corpses struck by the Extreme Thunder Dragons, bodies blasted ten meters away, with some Ice Corpses having their arms or legs directly blown off.
Seeing such a tragic state of the Ice Corpses, Duan Gujin breathed a sigh of relief, but then he saw their broken bodies rapidly regenerating at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Those Ice Corpses with limbs blown off picked up their severed parts and reattached them.
Watching the Ice Corpses stand up again, Duan Gujin gasped, immediately suspecting that these Ice Corpses were not very afraid of lightning.
Thus, his previous Extreme Thunder Dragons lacked substantial destructive power against the Ice Corpses.
"Could it be that these Ice Corpses only fear fire?"
Immediately, a possibility flashed through his mind.
