and physical prowess, possessing exceptionally pure and potent Dharma power and Blood Gang strength, and wielding powerful divine abilities, Ji Yuanzhu couldn't regain even a fraction of the power he...Han Chi Lao Zu's eyelids twitched, he stretched out a finger and beckoned at the void. The ice spear that was heading towards Lu Xiao Tian split in two, radiating chilling air that made one's heart tremble. One of the halves shot towards Lu Xiao Tian, its trajectory a blurry flight as it met the incoming ethereal flying sword.

The Lingbing Ice Spear truly lived up to its reputation as a spiritual artifact. Its speed was astonishing, and coupled with the control of Patriarch Hanchi, their duel was as if they were wielding an extension of themselves. Even though this substitute body possessed only slightly less mana than Lu Xiaoteng, relying on the foundation of a Nascent Soul cultivator, it could easily suppress Lu Xiaoteng. Without the Bat King's Wings, Lu Xiaoteng would have been utterly incapable of resisting Patriarch Hanchi.

“No wonder this silver-haired boy has remained calm all this time, it turns out he has such a pair of powerful wings.”

Han Chi's ancestor was also a little depressed. He originally wanted to discipline a young cultivator at the Golden Core stage, but now the situation was that he had been suppressed by this underestimated Golden Core junior. With the presence of these wings, the other party could attack and leave as they pleased.

With his current physical form, there was no way to stop it. Fortunately, the substitute appeared with a spirit-infused ice thorn this time, able to withstand the opponent's attack thanks to the sharpness of the spiritual artifact. Otherwise, relying solely on the Hades Gourd, he would have likely been defeated this time.

But just as quickly, the Cold Chi ancestor's face fell again. A pagoda engulfed in blazing Vairocana fire descended from the sky and crashed into the ice shards.

Damn it, a pagoda is already extraordinary, being extremely close to a spiritual artifact. It's far more powerful than an ordinary talisman. I originally thought that after injuring Lu Xia Tian with two pagodas, the artifacts he could use would be limited. Unexpectedly, he sacrificed another identical pagoda.

Of course, the Ancient Dragon Ancestor was unaware that Lu Xia Tian had spent decades on this, expending a great deal of energy, and managed to only forge three Demonic Suppression Towers.

The two towers that fought against the Spirit Ice Spear before were injured. This third tower, the Demon Suppression Tower, wouldn't be used lightly by Lu Xia Tian unless it was a critical moment.

Han Chi's ancestor was greatly startled, and hurriedly controlled the ice spike to smash open the ethereal flying sword slightly, then went to block the Town Demon Tower. However, Lu Xiaoteng had refined this sword embryo for so many years, how could it be so easily dealt with In terms of speed, the sword embryo that had already become a flying sword was much faster than the Town Demon Tower.

After clashing with the Spirit-Sealing Frost Spear only momentarily, it shot towards the ancestor of the Ice Chi dragon once again.

When the ancestor of Hanchi was startled, he panicked. Taking advantage of the ancestor of Hanchi's distraction, Lu Xia Tian's body swayed, dodging the powerful spiritual ice spike. At an astonishing speed, he appeared behind the ancestor of Hanchi.

After both the ethereal flying sword and the demon-suppressing tower were sent flying by the Lingbing ice spikes, Lu Xia Tian slapped out with a palm from several zhang away. The internal energy of his palm strike directly hit the back of the Hanchi Ancestor from several zhang away.

Even the venerable Patriarch Hanchi was struggling to withstand the combined assault of the Demon Suppressing Pagoda and the ethereal flying sword. He was caught off guard and, in his haste, was forcefully pushed aside by Lu Xiaotien's sudden attack.

At this moment, struck by Lu Xia Tian's attack, his body was seized with uncontrollable pain. By the time he wanted to control the spirit ice thorns to counterattack, it was too late. A flash of gold light, a golden knife flew out from Lu Xia Tian's hand, directly piercing through the substitute body of Han Chi ancestor. It went in until the hilt.

Under the heavy damage, the control of the spiritual ice thorn greatly weakened. The ethereal flying sword flickered again, bypassing the spiritual ice thorn and circling around the neck of the frigid dragon ancestor. Its massive head then detached from its body. However, there wasn't a drop of blood flowing out from the severed wound, which was quite strange.

Lu Xia Tian let out a breath, this Cold Chi Ancestor's substitute was truly amazing. In the past, the substitutes of Ghost Zun and Xiong Ao together were probably not as good as this Cold Chi Ancestor. If it weren't for the Bat King's wings on his body, he wouldn't really be a match for this substitute. Even with the One-Armed Daoist nun and Zhou Qianer and others, they couldn't last even a few rounds.

Unfortunately, I was unable to replenish my essence from this stand-in's blood. The brief but dangerous duel just now consumed another portion of the already dwindling essence in my reserves.

Thinking of this, Lu Xia Tian couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. Fortunately, he had finally managed to kill the substitute of this Han Chi ancestor.

Lu Xiaoxian retrieved the out-of-control Spirit Ice Thorn. The ice thorn still held immense hostility towards Lu Xiaoxian, with a surge of cold air emanating from it as it resisted his retrieval. As a spiritual artifact, it possessed a certain degree of autonomy and inherited the animosity of Han Chi ancestor towards Lu Xiaoxian.

Lu Xia Tian snorted coldly, shooting out several strands of mana to wrap the ice spike. After a moment, the ice spike let out a mournful cry. Without anyone controlling it, its power dwindled and finally transformed into a white light, which Lu Xia Tian absorbed.

Next, Lu Xia Tian collected the storage ring of the Han Chi ancestor and the Hai Yin gourd. Then, he waved a few wisps of Fan Luo Linghuo, burning the Han Chi ancestor's avatar to ashes. The aura of the surrounding battle would soon dissipate as well.

Lu Xia Tian no longer lingered. After a moment of thought, he disguised himself, becoming a man with jet-black hair, an ordinary appearance, and a dark complexion. He put away all his magical artifacts, even the Purple Leaf Zhen Wu was tucked away. This time, he had deeply offended the ancestor Han Chi, and Lu Xia Tian wasn't sure when the other party would seek revenge. Right now, it was best to be careful.

Hundreds of millions of miles away, waves surged against the reefs. This was a solitary island covered in snow and ice, with numerous ice-element spirit trees scattered among its mountains. It resembled an icy kingdom stretching for thousands of miles. The place was abundant in spiritual energy of ice. A howling wind swept through, and the pavilions and towers nestled within were adorned with icicles.

However, the cultivators here didn't feel the slightest bit of cold. Their thin clothing didn't hinder their movement at all.

Several cultivators in spirit armor diligently guarded the entrance to a cave dwelling whose stone door had been sealed shut.

"Big brother!" At this time, a man over fifty with long whiskers walked over from a pavilion in the distance. His beard and hair fluttered in the wind. Everyone saw the old man and bowed respectfully.

"Well, Master's dwelling has there been any unusual phenomena these past few days" the old man nodded slightly and asked.

"As always, nothing out of the ordinary." The young disciple guarding the entrance to the cave replied.

“Hmm, the time for Ancestor Tongshan’s end is drawing near. I'm busy making arrangements, but Master hasn't said when he'll be out of seclusion. ” The elder looked anxious. In the past, he could have discussed matters with Master’s substitute, but the substitute had been gone for several years. Moreover, Master was in seclusion and wouldn't return anytime soon. Even if he wanted to open the cave dwelling, he didn't dare – he lacked both the courage and the ability.

As he was speaking, a furious storm raged outside the cave. The clouds in the sky seemed as if they were about to collapse, and the spiritual energy of ice on the island became incredibly turbulent, tossing the few demon hawks that were soaring freely through the air. The sudden tempest left them disoriented and struggling against the gale.

“You ignorant brat, this old master must grind you into dust and cut you into ten thousand pieces!” A voice filled with fury echoed from the depths of the cave, shaking the entire sky above Iceland.

With a deafening boom, the small mountain where the cave abode trembled violently. The icy aura became even more ferocious under this surge of power.

"Welcome back, Ancestor!" The disciples outside the cave were all terrified, prostrating themselves on the ground with fear etched on their faces. Who could have possibly enraged the Ancestor to such a degree They must be incredibly bold!

In the raging blizzard, an image of a silver-haired youth suddenly appeared.

"Spread word discreetly, whoever finds this person will be rewarded with ten million high-grade spirit stones!"

“Yes, Master!” The old man nodded hurriedly.e Golden Carving Ghost Demon's body. The Golden Carving Ghost Demon let out a shriek, and its cloak billowed outward, sending plumes of carving feathers scattering.Su Qing's face was grim. It seemed...
