Di Zang Chuan looked at the two of them and opened his mouth with a wry smile. In the end, he sighed and disappeared thousands of meters away.
"Clang —"
The moment Ksitigarbha left, Lian Guang clenched his fist. The snowy ground suddenly shook, and a square of golden lines flashed from the ground. It formed a barrier, enveloping both Tia and Lian Guang.
"You won't be able to escape this time."
Lian Guang raised his head and looked at Di Zang Chuan coldly. "I'm here to see how powerful the new Envoy of the Fourth Seal is."
Di Zang Chuan ignored the barrier around them and narrowed her eyes. "You're the one who won't be able to escape. You'll regret this …"
Her voice was cut off by a sharp tearing sound.
Lian Guang raised his hand and Halran Gaia appeared in his palm. It shot towards Di Zang Chuan like a bolt of lightning. The sharp arc of the blade tore the air apart like silk. It flashed past Di Zang Chuan's eyes and appeared between her eyebrows.
Di Zang Chuan's body flashed back. The air around her twisted together like thick iron chains and whipped towards Halran Gaia with a crackling sound.
Lian Guang grabbed Halran Gaia and it floated above his head. He raised his chin and looked at Di Zang Chuan coldly. "Is that all you've got?"
Tia's body came to a stop as the snow swirled around her feet. Her cheeks were slightly red as she panted lightly. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly felt a piece of flesh on her cheek slowly peeling off. She couldn't help but be startled. Her pupils suddenly shrank as she quickly circulated the blood in her body to repair the piece of flesh that had fallen off. Then, she stared at the divine sword above Lian Guang's head. This divine sword was entirely crimson gold, shrouded in a golden halo, and the tip of the sword was extremely sharp.
Di Zang Chuan's voice was heavy and trembling. "This is … Halran Gaia?"
"That's right."
Lian Guang smiled. "So you recognize it. You're the first person I've used this sword in battle since I got it. How did it feel?"
Tia could not suppress the fear in her eyes. "How did you get this divine sword? Didn't it disappear? How did it end up in your hands?!"
Lian Guang smiled mysteriously. He moved his fingers and the Halran Gaia above his head flew out. It shone with billions of beams of light and covered Tia's entire body. It formed a sword-shaped storm and smashed down like a sharp mountain.
"It's over …" Lian Guang sighed.
…
North of the Ice Empire, Nobile City.
The Heavenly Law Divine Boat whizzed over from afar and stopped in the sky above the city. Ye Chen sent one of the thirty-six Peak Emperor God experts that he had enslaved during the fight for the Ancient God's cave dwelling key fragment. He asked him to go to the city to find out some information. After obtaining a map, he continued to advance towards the Snow Region according to the route on the map.
Originally, by relying on Ye Chen's memories after he awakened, he knew the exact location of the Snow Domain. However, that was a memory from countless years ago. At that time, the ancient continent was slightly different from the current one. The movement of the earth's crust had caused the tectonic plates to shift, causing their positions to deviate. Thus, he needed to look at the latest map in order to find the exact location.
"We're not far away." Bai Yijun said worriedly.
Ye Chen held her hand and muttered, "With the Imprint of the Law of Wind that the ancestor of the Ten Pavilions passed down to me, my current strength is completely different from before. There shouldn't be any problems. Don't worry."
Bai Yijun nodded lightly. Her face was still filled with worry.
The Heavenly Law Divine Boat's engine spun violently. The thrusters shot out blue plasma flames and pushed the boat into the distance.
…
Ice Empire, Dragon Mirror Lake.
The huge lake was as tranquil as a mirror. On both sides of the lake were towering mountains. In the distant sky, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the huge lake. The lake sparkled with a warm yellow light. It was as if countless golden sand were flowing on the surface of the lake. It was indescribably beautiful.
From the dense forest beside the lake, a few figures walked out. The leader was a slender girl in white clothes. A stooped old man and a young man and woman followed behind her.
The few of them walked to the side of the lake. The lake water rippled slightly, washing the mud bank beside the lake. The sand and stones were rubbed until they were very smooth. The colorful pebbles on the shore could be faintly seen.
Ye Zhu looked over. The setting sun shone on her body, bathing her in a layer of warm yellow light.
Behind her, Suo Xi could not help but ask, "Lord Messenger, is this the Snow Region?"
"Yes."
Ye Zhu nodded lightly. She raised her hand and pointed forward. A white halo flickered like a needle and shot straight into the sky above the center of the lake. It was as if it had shot into a transparent wall, causing a transparent ripple to appear.
Then, in the shocked eyes of Suo Xi and the others, the transparent air suddenly rippled. From the middle, a vertical ripple twisted. Then, a loud rumbling sound that was as heavy as thunder rang out.
A dazzling white light pierced through the transparent ripple. It was like the sharp needles on the back of a hedgehog. It was dazzling and scalding. It was as if an invisible door was slowly opening to both sides. The white light became more and more intense. The range of the white light became wider and wider.
Then, it was completely revealed in front of them.
The white light slowly disappeared. It was as if there was a horizontal banner in the air. Inside it was a silver-white world of ice and snow. One could faintly see distant icebergs and whistling wind and snow.
Ye Zhu's eyes flashed with light. She took a step forward and appeared in front of the horizontal door in the next moment. Suo Xi, Uncle Long, Xue Na and the others followed closely behind. Their hearts were filled with shock. They did not think that in this ancient world, there would be such a secret that no one had ever discovered.
"Inside … is the Snow Region?" Suo Xi was startled.
Uncle Long frowned. He looked inside calmly, as if he was thinking about something.
Xue Na asked curiously, "Why hasn't anyone discovered this place after so many years? With the ancient world's history, there must be someone who accidentally discovered this secret."
Ye Zhu shook her head gently. "No, because this is the territory of a monster. There is that thing guarding below. Without reaching the Epoch Realm strength, there is no way to come here alive. In the entire ancient world's history, there have been too few Epoch Realm experts. The territory is too vast. It is normal that no one has discovered this place."
As she spoke, she walked forward. "Let's go. Otherwise, when that thing wakes up, it will be a little troublesome."
"That thing?" Uncle Long was startled.
"Yes, it's under my feet."
Ye Zhu said softly. She turned and walked into the picturesque Snow Region. Her figure seemed to pass through a transparent ripple, disappearing without a trace.
Uncle Long, Xue Na and the others could not help but look down. They discovered that the originally clear lake water under their feet suddenly had a huge black shadow. It gradually became deeper and clearer, as if it was floating up.
The pupils of the three suddenly contracted. They quickly flashed into the Snow Region, disappearing without a trace.
After the few of them entered, the shadow of the enormous creature in the lake paused for a moment, then sank down again, disappearing without a trace.
The picturesque gate to the Snow Region slowly closed.
The lake was quiet. Only the warm yellow sunset shone on it, emitting a golden afterglow.
…
West of Wellman City, in the dense forest.
"Rumble —"
Countless sword-shaped light blades gathered together. They were like fish swimming in the deep sea with shining scales. They transformed into a rumbling silver pillar of light that smashed down fiercely.
The earth trembled violently. The ground floated up and down like silk. The snow was sent flying. The snow and sword-light intersected, creating an indescribably poignant scene.
Di Zang Chuan stood on a branch of a huge tree in the distance. The biting cold wind caused his clothes to flap. He looked down at the battle within the barrier and frowned slightly. He muttered in a low voice, "I didn't expect this Divine Earth Sword to be so powerful. My Sky Regicide Dagger can't compare at all. If it were a real head-on clash, an ordinary Void Sky Artifact would probably be cut in half.
"Looks like it's about to end …"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was suddenly interrupted. His eyes widened, and his face was filled with astonishment. He stared at the center of the sword-shaped storm as if he had seen a monster. There, a blurry and distorted faint shadow slowly stood up. The slender figure stood in the center of the storm. It looked casual and natural, and there were no signs of strain at all. Di Zang Chuan frowned. He raised his hand and raised it.
Lian Guang furrowed his brows and raised his hand. Like a whale playing with water, the sword lights that filled the sky gathered towards his palm. After the first Halran Gaia returned to his palm, the rest of the sword shadows followed and overlapped on the Halran Gaia in his hand. When all of the sword shadows returned to his palm, snowflakes began to fall from the sky. On the other side of the swirling snowflakes stood a slender figure. When all of the snowflakes had fallen, he could see clearly that Tia was standing there with a smile on her face. She stretched out her slender and pale fingers and gently flicked the snow off her robe. She was not injured at all from head to toe.
Di Zang Chuan's eyes fell on the top of her head.
There was a small golden shield the size of a palm. It quietly floated above her head and emitted a brilliant golden light.
"The Shield of Earth!"
Di Zang Chuan, who was standing on a branch not far away, exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
Di Zang Chuan quickly calmed down. He frowned and stared at Tia.
In the distance, Di Zang Chuan's expression was a little dazed. He muttered to himself, "No wonder. I knew that a Fourth Seal Envoy wouldn't be this weak. According to the rumors, she is a monster … She actually has the Shield of Earth. This treasure, among the Seven Great Treasures, is ranked higher than the Divine Earth Sword. It is ranked second!"
"According to the legends, with this shield, all physical and indirect energy attacks can be ignored. Only spiritual attacks are effective."
"This time …" Di Zang Chuan's gaze fell on Di Zang Chuan's back. He frowned, "This is troublesome …"
