Chapter 719: Black Ice (Part 2)
The most terrifying thing is that this layer of black frost actually ignored the burning Yang on the Diviner's body and directly acted upon him, leaving him with no chance to react!
Xiang Beifei quickly slapped the Diviner's body, conjuring a piece of wood in front of the Diviner's eyes to break his line of sight and prevent him from looking at the iron monument again.
But that cold aura silently seeped through the burning Yang and onto him!
He was shocked; his burning Yang was ineffective against this cold aura!
Buzz!
Black flames immediately ignited on Xiang Beifei's body, resisting the sudden attack of the black frost!
Sizzle!
The black frost, upon encountering the burning Yin, began to ignite, and slowly this layer of black frost was completely burned away. He hurriedly directed the burning Yin onto the Diviner's body.
After about half a moment of burning, the Diviner shivered, trembling all over as he came back to his senses from the freezing.
"This iron monument, this iron monument..." The Diviner shivered in fear.
Just now, in less than five breaths, he was actually frozen! And it was his divine soul that was frozen; had he been a moment later, the divine soul might have shattered!
"Look there."
Xiang Beifei pointed solemnly towards another corner of the scrap iron.
At the corner, there was a young man leaning against the iron wall, cautiously revealing half of his head, seemingly observing the outside situation. Unfortunately, his eyes had just glimpsed at that iron monument, and then he was frozen by the black ice!
No breath left!
Xiang Beifei searched around for a moment; in this ruin, he found at least ten people frozen into black ice, and it was impossible to determine their cultivation, but to make it here, they were definitely extraordinary!
"These people are somewhat like you were just now." Xiang Beifei said.
The Diviner was also terrified; if it weren't for Xiang Beifei's timely reaction, he too would be among these black ice sculptures by now!
Calming down, the Diviner said, "That black ice, it seems like Ruishui River!"
"Yes, it's Ruishui River, and a very powerful one at that!"
Xiang Beifei had already witnessed the power of Ruishui River back at the Bone Mountain Desert Stone Cave, but the Ruishui River here was evidently even more terrifying than the one back then, reaching the point where just a glance would freeze you!
"Ruishui River is the ultimate Dao embryo of the water tribespeople cultivated to Ancestral Dao Realm, on par with source fire and breath soil. A glance and you're frozen, it must have been left by an Ancestral Dao Realm master of the Xuanming Tribe!" The Diviner took a deep breath.
Ancestral Dao Realm, far beyond what they could resist.
"Never mind, let's bypass this iron monument. Where is the next safety point?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"Fifty meters ahead on the left; it should be the last safe location. Beyond that, there are no safe points anymore, only omens of great danger, especially that altar." The Diviner reminded.
"Let's go, first approach the last safe spot, observe a bit before heading to the altar."
Xiang Beifei turned into a section of iron wall ruins, trying not to look at the iron monument as they headed to the last safe spot. But just then, the Diviner suddenly let out a low cry, halting, saying: "We can't move forward."
"What's the matter?"
"The safe spot seems unsafe..."
The Diviner stared at the ruin, quickly changing his expression.
Xiang Beifei saw it too, standing behind the ruin were three people!
Ironically, they were three Inquiry Dao Realm experts of the Demon Race!
"There are even two late-stage everlasting ones, just when I ran out of sacrifices, you arrived just in time." Mo Bufan looked down at Xiang Beifei and the Diviner.
"Run!"
Xiang Beifei wasted no words, immediately turning to head in another direction.
But Mo Bufan sneered coldly: "Where do you think you're going?"
Swish!
He waved his hand, and a streak of Demonic Qi shot out straight toward Xiang Beifei!
However, the Demonic Qi didn't hit Xiang Beifei; it shattered mid-air!
But the shattering of the Demonic Qi was secondary, as a horrifying blue light appeared in the sky above, completely composed of Spiritual Power, with each ray nearly carrying earth-shattering power as the light dispersed!
Rumble!
Dayan Jinshou was activated!
At this location, the weakest power of Dayan Jinshou was ascension realm!
And the oppression from the blue light almost stopped Xiang Beifei's heart.
Terrifying attack of the Ancestral Dao Realm!
"Damn it!"
Xiang Beifei cursed inwardly, immediately dragging the Diviner to charge toward Mo Bufan's direction!
He had no choice.
Even though he possessed burning Yang, its role wasn't to resist Dayan Jinshou, but to prevent the black mist from triggering Dayan Jinshou. If they moved too fast or there were disturbances around, the power of Dayan Jinshou would still emerge, and such a terrifying attack was indiscriminate, something Xiang Beifei could not withstand!
Xiang Beifei didn't know how Mo Bufan managed to get here, but it was obvious that Mo Bufan intentionally triggered Dayan Jinshou here to launch an attack. If Xiang Beifei wanted to survive, he had to run to the safe spot.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Almost as Xiang Beifei and the Diviner had just landed on the iron wall top, that blue light exploded behind them. The violent shockwave rolled across, causing the entire ruin to tremble.
Fortunately, the shockwave was fierce but merely bypassed where they stood.
But before Xiang Beifei and the Diviner could get their footing, three intense pressures fell upon them, restraining them!
"You two late-stage everlastings have some skill, managing to get here." Mo Bufan looked mockingly at Xiang Beifei and the Diviner.
"It's over."
The Diviner's heart sank, knowing they were in big trouble now, running into three Inquiry Dao Realm experts of the Demon Race.
Although unclear how Mo Bufan arrived, they had just brought seven or eight scapegoats, all gone now. There was no doubt, it must have been some cruel method of the Demon Race, sacrificing those scapegoats to counter Dayan Jinshou.
Meaning, knowing where to find Dayan Jinshou safety points wasn't limited to the Diviner's divination, other means existed too.
Xiang Beifei's mind raced, calmly watching the three.
"We're out of sacrifices, now only a small stretch remains, we'll just borrow you two!" Mo Bufan laughed.
At that moment, Mo Gui spoke: "Hold on, it didn't look like they used sacrifices just now to deceive Dayan Jinshou's attack, how did you manage to walk safely here?"
"We have disguise abilities, allowing us not to trigger Dayan Jinshou. We collaborate to find safety points, both are indispensable." Xiang Beifei said calmly.
He had to say this now, or else they might be killed!
First stabilize these three Demon Race individuals, and then look for an opportunity.
Mo Bufan and Mo Gui exchanged a glance, looking somewhat surprised.
"Disguise abilities? What disguise abilities do you have to evade Dayan Jinshou?" asked another Demon Race member.
This Demon Race member was named Mo Qiquan, with strength on par with Mo Bufan and Mo Gui, all being at the initial stage of Inquiry Dao!
"We are from the Formation-Walking Race." Xiang Beifei said.
"Formation-Walking Race? I've never heard of this race, are you trying to play tricks?" Mo Bufan chuckled lightly.
"Many ancient races have vanished without a trace, is it not normal you haven't heard of them? Have you ever heard of the Broken Dao Race before?" Xiang Beifei retorted.
Mo Bufan slightly frowned.
Broken Dao Race!
A mysterious race that emerged in the Edge Corner Airspace over the past few months, and he had indeed heard of it!
Before this, he hadn't heard of the Broken Dao Race.
We are from the Formation-Walking Race. Although Dayan Jinshou is formidable, it is just a Formation; by cooperating, we can barely advance within it."
Xiang Beifei signaled to the Diviner.
The Diviner immediately understood, nodding, "That's right."
