While countless people were still in shock, the Origin Energy in the entire space suddenly started to riot. Furthermore, it started to condense towards the pillar of light at an inconceivable speed.
Boom!
The Yuan Qi in the light pillar condensed and turned into a faint light figure.
That light figure wore a white robe and its appearance was a little blurry. However, there were countless golden runes on the white robe and a terrifying pressure covered the entire Twilight Plains at this moment.
"That's the Northern Heavens Saint?"
Ye Chen's gaze was filled with admiration. This was the strength of a Saint expert. Just the pressure alone was enough to make him feel endless pressure.
"I'm the leader of the Iron Blood Gang. After entering the cave, please do not wait for us to make a fortune. Otherwise, don't blame us for being ruthless and not giving you any face."
"The Blood Hand Sect is handling matters. Kill all unrelated people!"
Clamors rang out from the crowd, causing the entire plains to become noisy. Since the cave was about to open, they had also expressed their intentions.
In order to obtain treasures, they would not hesitate to kill.
On the plains, Gu Yan, who was wearing red armor, had a malevolent gaze as he swept his gaze across the surroundings. When his gaze landed on Ye Chen, a trace of astonishment was clearly shown on his face.
However, he quickly regained his calm appearance and sneered. He made a throat-slitting gesture that was filled with provocation, arrogance and malevolence.
Whoosh!
A light pillar rushed out from the figure's body and into the clouds. At the end of the light pillar, one could see a huge whirlpool that was slowly forming and descending into the crowd's field of vision.
"That's the entrance. Let's rush in!"
Everyone immediately lost their calm when they saw this scene. They turned into countless streaks of light and rushed into the whirlpool.
"Let's go."
Ye Chen raised his head and took a deep breath. In the cold air, he seemed to smell a conspiracy. Among these people, there was still no sign of the Wanshou Sect.
At the same time, there was no trace of the black figure.
Su Tianxin nodded and said solemnly, "Since we're all here, we can't miss this opportunity. However, this is the abode of a Saint after all. It won't be that easy."
As her voice faded, she gently inhaled a breath of air. After which, her figure flashed, bringing along Ye Chen and the other three, transforming into five rays of light that merged with the figures that blotted out the sky and covered the earth as they charged into the enormous light vortex.
The instant Ye Chen entered the vortex, he could feel the chaotic Yuan Power gushing towards him from all around. Soon after, his vision turned black, but light quickly returned. At the same time, a bone-piercing chill assaulted his face.
Both of Ye Chen's eyes opened as astonishment surged out from his face. What appeared in front of him was an extremely vast icy lake. At this moment, he was standing on a huge stone platform in the middle of the lake.
At this moment, the stone platform was constantly flashing with light as figures appeared one after another.
"Could it be that this light vortex will teleport people to a random location?"
Ye Chen frowned. Among the figures, he did not see Su Tianxin and the rest. He was worried about their safety.
"Eh?
What's that? "
At this moment, many people on the stone platform suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Turning his gaze, Ye Chen saw that there were ice-blue lotuses floating on the surface of the icy lake. On top of each lotus, there was an ice crystal suspended. Within the ice crystal, deep blue water droplets were rolling.
An astonishing Yuan Power undulation rippled outwards, causing the entire space to become incomparably bone-chillingly cold.
"Is that the Deep Freeze Ice Lotus?"
Ye Chen was stunned at first, but his eyes suddenly became extremely fiery.
The Deep Freeze Ice Lotus was an extremely precious Spiritual Ingredient. It was a Grade Five Spiritual Ingredient. At the heart of the lotus, there was a deep blue ice crystal. As long as one consumed the deep blue ice crystal, it could temper one's muscles and bones and expand one's Yuan Sea. It was extremely beneficial to one's cultivation.
Ye Chen did not care about the value of a single Deep Freeze Ice Lotus. However, the appearance of thousands of Deep Freeze Ice Lotuses in front of him already defied common sense.
According to his knowledge, Deep Freeze Ice Lotuses rarely grew in groups. Once they did, it meant that they grew together. Somewhere in this lake, there must be an even rarer Spiritual Ingredient.
That was the Extreme Freeze Ice Lotus.
The Extreme Freeze Ice Lotus was a Grade Six Spiritual Ingredient. It had nine lotus hearts. Consuming each lotus heart could temper one's meridians and loosen one's muscles and bones. It was especially beneficial for someone like Ye Chen, who had a strong physical body.
"The Extreme Freeze Ice Lotus usually grows in places where the cold aura is the heaviest. It will not coexist with these Deep Freeze Ice Lotuses. Therefore, it must be in the deepest part of this lake."
A fiery light flashed across Ye Chen's eyes. In his field of vision, countless figures had already started to harvest the Deep Freeze Ice Lotuses. They did not look towards the deepest part of the lake.
The existence of the Extreme Freeze Ice Lotus was very rare. Ordinary people would not know about it. If Ye Chen had not obtained the inheritance memories of an expert, he would have missed this great opportunity.
His body moved. Just as he walked off the stone platform, a figure suddenly dashed out and directly rushed towards a Deep Freeze Ice Lotus beside Ye Chen.
"This Deep Freeze Ice Lotus belongs to me!"
The figure had just appeared in front of the Deep Freeze Ice Lotus. However, just as he was about to take the lotus heart, the lake below suddenly split open. A black figure dashed out like lightning and wrapped around the figure's legs, pulling him into the lake.
"Ah!"
A mournful scream resounded. Soon, his body turned into an ice sculpture. When he floated to the surface of the water, he immediately turned into countless ice fragments and died without a complete corpse.
"What is that thing?"
The people on the stone platform were immediately frightened by the unforeseen event. Under the lake, more and more black figures dashed out. There were hundreds of them and they were exuding an extremely dangerous aura.
"Black Blood Python."
Ye Chen whispered. The complexion of the people around him became ashen. The strength of this black blood python was not strong. It was equivalent to the cultivation of the second Sky of Truth realm. However, the strength of this spirit beast was extremely great. It was comparable to the strength of a master of the fourth Sky of Truth realm.
In addition, the lake was extremely cold. If one was pulled into the lake by this black blood python, it would be almost impossible to escape death.
"Generally, there are spirit beasts guarding the surroundings of Heaven and Earth spirit materials." Ye Chen paused for a moment. He had also obtained a lot of valuable experience from the memory of an expert.
Bouncing his feet, Ye Chen shot into the air. Soon, a Black Water Blood Python jumped towards him. It opened its bloody mouth and let out a thick, stinky smell.
"Humph!"
Ye Chen's eyes narrowed and he blasted out a punch. The force of his punch was so strong that it directly rolled up a strong wind and instantly tore the black blood python into two pieces. Soon after, the fist swept past and twisted the black blood python into countless pieces.
"Its defense is ordinary."
Ye Chen estimated the Black Water Blood Python's defense and felt a bit more confident. His eyes gazed into the depths of the lake, but his eyebrows suddenly knitted together. There were a few human figures with a strong killing intent in their eyes.
There were fifteen people in this group. The leader was clad in black cloth armor and carried a broadsword on his shoulder. His eyes were deep red and exuded a bloody smell. He was the lord of the Poisonous Wolf Fort, Bai Shengtian.
The people around him were the most elite experts of the Poisonous Wolf Fort. The weakest among them had already stepped into the second Sky of Truth realm.
