Chapter 113 The Frozen Secret, the Danger of Possession, and the "Ancestor"

That inhuman roar, like a foul wind sweeping out from the deepest hell, carrying tangible black demonic energy, instantly engulfed the entire outer heaven.

The dark clouds, which had been dispersed by the unintentional Buddha's light disc player, gathered again with even greater ferocity. The sky seemed to have been covered with a layer of thick ink, mercilessly swallowing up even the last ray of sunlight that managed to penetrate.

The snow fell even harder.

But the falling snowflakes were no longer pure white; instead, they had an eerie grayish-black hue, and when they landed on the skin, they caused a corrosive, burning sensation.

"What was that sound?!"

Lei Wujie covered his ears, feeling as if his eardrums were about to burst. The Fire Scorching Technique within his body was running wildly, trying to resist the all-pervasive, chilling demonic energy, but he still felt waves of palpitations.

It was a kind of suppression from the level of life itself, an instinctive fear when facing an ancient behemoth!

"That's... a demon."

Wushuang gripped the sword case behind him tightly, the thirteen flying swords inside trembling uneasily. He could sense that the destruction and madness contained within that aura was more terrifying than any enemy he had ever encountered before.

"Demons?" Xiao Se frowned. "The Outer Heavens are already known as the Demonic Sect. Could there be something even more 'demonic' than you?"

Wu Xin gave a bitter laugh, and a deep weariness appeared on his alluring face.

"Boss Xiao, the martial arts world of the Central Plains calls us the Demonic Sect only because our martial arts style is different from yours and our behavior is rather eccentric. But in the end, we are still human."

Wuxin turned his head, his gaze complex as he looked at the forbidden area atop the snow-capped mountain. "But that thing... it's not human. It's a true demon that has lived for over a thousand years, knowing only how to devour and destroy! Or rather, it's an ancient demonic soul that escaped from the depths of the far north ice plains, its whereabouts unknown!"

"An ancient demonic soul?"

Li Hanyi's eyes, hidden behind her mask, narrowed slightly. She had read some ancient books in the Snow Moon City's library. These books said that ten thousand years ago, some extremely terrifying creatures existed on this continent. They fed on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and could even devour human souls. Later, for some reason, most of these creatures became extinct or were sealed away.

Could it be that such a monster is lurking deep within these snow-capped mountains?

"How did this monster get out? And why does it want to possess you?" Xiao Se keenly grasped the key to the problem.

Wu Xin sighed.

"The forbidden area of ​​the Outer Heavens is actually the core of a sealing formation. My father, Ye Dingzhi, founded the Outer Heavens to suppress this demon. For the past few years, I have been in seclusion to repair the formation. But last night, the formation suddenly loosened, and the demon took the opportunity to break through the seal."

Wuxin's eyes dimmed slightly. "If it wants to leave this icy plain, it needs a physical body that can bear its power. And in the entire Outer Heaven, only the 'Secret Techniques of the Rakshasa Hall' and the Buddhist mental cultivation method that I practice can barely suppress its demonic energy. So, it has its eye on me."

"I see."

Xiao Se nodded, then sneered, "Looks like you're not doing a very good job as sect leader. You can't even control an old monster, and you almost got your body stolen."

"Boss Xiao is right." Wuxin wasn't angry at all. Instead, he readily admitted, "This humble monk is indeed not skilled enough. I apologize for making a fool of myself."

"Where is it now?" Lei Wujie gripped the Killing Fear Sword tightly. "Let's go! Let's go cut it down! It'll be a good opportunity for this sword to have some fun!"

"it's useless."

Wu Xin shook his head, stopping the impulsive Lei Wujie.

"That demonic soul has no physical form, so ordinary physical attacks are useless against it. Moreover, it currently occupies a spiritual vein node within the forbidden area, making it invincible as long as it remains within the formation. Unless…"

Wuxin paused here, then turned her gaze to Su Changqing, who was standing to the side and had not said a word.

"Unless there is a power that transcends the laws of this world, it cannot be completely destroyed."

Wuxin's eyes were filled with expectation, even a hint of pleading.

He knew very well that if this demonic soul successfully possessed someone or escaped from the Outer Heaven, it would be a catastrophe for the entire Northern Li, and even the entire world!

And now, the only one who can stop this catastrophe is this unfathomable man before us.

"Sir..." Wuxin was about to bow again and plead.

"Alright, alright."

Su Changqing waved his hand impatiently, interrupting Wuxin's words.

He glanced at the little Nuomi in his arms, who was excited about hearing "the Great Snow Monster" and showed no fear whatsoever, and a helpless smile appeared on his lips.

"I already said I came here for tourism. I just wanted to take my daughter to see the sights and maybe catch a Yeti for fun. But you guys had to come up with some ancient demon soul for me."

"This wretched island doesn't even have a decent seafood; it's all just a bunch of frozen lumps of ice. I wish I hadn't come."

Although Su Changqing complained, his eyes gradually turned cold.

Ancient demon soul?

Has he lived for over a thousand years?

It sounds impressive. But in the face of this terrestrial immortal who has long since transcended the constraints of the system and possesses a high-dimensional killing technique like the "Celestial Tribulation"...

They're just pieces of trash that live a little longer.

"Let's go, lead the way."

Su Changqing handed Xiao Nuomi to Li Hanyi, then casually twisted his neck, producing a crisp cracking sound.

"Since we're already here, we can't leave empty-handed. Let's see what this so-called 'ancestor' is all about. If it's not too bad looking, I'll dismember it, turn it into a specimen, and put it at the entrance of Changqing Tower as a lucky cat."

"If someone is too ugly and it affects the city's appearance..."

A chilling killing intent flashed in Su Changqing's eyes. "Then let it leave not even ashes!"

……

Beyond the heavens, a forbidden land.

This is the very top of the entire snow-capped mountain, and also the coldest and most dangerous place.

A massive black altar stood amidst the wind and snow. Around the altar were countless eerie runes, each emitting a faint red glow, as if it were breathing.

And in the very center of the altar.

A jet-black, constantly twisting and changing mist was firmly locked in mid-air by several thick golden chains.

Within the mist, one could vaguely make out twisted, tormented faces struggling and roaring. It was an amalgamation of pure evil and resentment!

"Gagagaggag..."

A piercing, eerie laugh emanated from the black mist, filled with greed and madness.

"Ye Anshi! You little bald monk! You think you can get away?!"

The black mist churned violently, transforming into a gigantic skull with two horns. The skull opened its massive maw and roared madly at the empty snowfield below.

"Your body is mine! Your Buddhist cultivation is mine too! Once I devour you, I can reshape my demonic form and return to the mortal realm! At that time, all living beings in this world will become my food!"

"Snap! Snap!"

As the demonic soul struggled, the already cracked golden chains cracked under the strain.

The seal is about to be completely shattered!

"Old monster, you talk too much nonsense."

Just then.

A lazy voice suddenly rang out at the edge of the altar.

The demon soul abruptly turned its head, and two eerie green flames flickered in its two empty skull eye sockets, staring intently at the direction from which the sound came.

Several figures appeared on the icy steps leading to the altar.

Leading the group was the young man dressed in a thin blue robe who appeared to have no internal energy fluctuations.

Behind him were Wuxin, who had returned, as well as Xiao Se, Lei Wujie, and Wushuang.

Who are you?

The demonic soul sensed the vital energy emanating from these young people and greedily licked its non-existent lips. "Such pure blood energy! Such vigorous vitality! Hahahaha! It seems the heavens are helping me! After devouring you, I won't even need Ye Anshi's physical body to recover most of my strength!"

It laughed wildly, completely disregarding these people.

In its view, these were nothing more than free supplements delivered to its door.

"Want to eat us?"

Lei Wujie snorted coldly, and the Killing Fear Sword in his hand reignited with karmic flames. "That depends on how tough your teeth are!"

"Ignorant brat!"

The demonic soul scoffed disdainfully.

It suddenly struggled!

"Bang!"

The last golden chain snapped with a crash!

The seal is broken!

"roar--!!!"

The demonic soul, now free, let out a deafening roar!

The black mist instantly expanded dozens of times, transforming into a dark cloud that blotted out the sky, carrying a terrifying, world-destroying pressure as it swept towards Su Changqing and the others!

"Be careful! Its demonic energy can corrode true energy and the soul!"

Wuxin shouted loudly, clasped his hands together, and his body instantly burst forth with dazzling golden Buddhist light, attempting to resist the overwhelming demonic energy.

Xiao Se and Wushuang also unleashed their trump cards, preparing for a desperate battle.

however.

Su Changqing, standing at the very front, still maintained his nonchalant demeanor.

He watched the dark cloud rushing in like a tsunami, without even moving a finger.

"this one?"

Su Changqing shook his head, his tone filled with disappointment.

"I thought it was some kind of powerful ancient demon god, but it turns out it's just a stinky fart."

"You're asking for it!"

The demon soul was thoroughly enraged by Su Changqing's disdain.

Countless enormous ghostly hands formed from demonic energy stretched out from the dark clouds, reaching out to grab Su Changqing as if to tear him to pieces!

"Ugh."

Su Changqing sighed.

He neither retreated nor used any earth-shattering techniques.

He slowly raised his head, and a dazzling golden lightning flashed in his eyes, which were originally calm and still.

"Since you enjoy playing so much, I'll play with you."

Su Changqing's voice was not loud.

But the moment the sound faded.

The entire outer heavens and the entire far north ice plains seemed to fall into absolute stillness at this moment!

"The Tribulation of All Gods——"

Su Changqing slowly uttered three words.

His right hand gently drew a circle in the air in front of him.

"First move: Heaven and Earth are ruthless!"

Om-!

There was no gale, no thunder.

Only an indescribable, supreme power, transcending all the rules of this world, erupted instantly within the circle drawn by Su Changqing!

This force is invisible and intangible, yet it is everywhere!

It was like an absolute "realm of truth," instantly enveloping the entire altar and the dark clouds that filled the sky!

"What...what kind of power is this?!"

The demonic soul, which was about to unleash a massacre, let out a terrified scream the moment that power descended!

It discovered that its proud demonic energy, the evil power that could even corrode Buddhist true energy, was melting and disintegrating wildly in the face of this invisible force, just like the first snow meeting the blazing sun!

It didn't even have a chance to resist!

"No! This is impossible! I am an ancient demon soul! I am immortal! How could you possibly..."

The demon's voice became shrill and desperate.

It desperately tried to gather the black mist and escape, but the surrounding space had been completely locked. It was like an insect trapped in amber, and could only watch helplessly as it was gradually obliterated!

"Immortal? Nothing in this world is immortal. If something is, it just means I haven't used enough force."

Su Changqing stared coldly at the rapidly shrinking black mist.

He did not erase it directly.

He felt that killing it so easily would be too lenient. Didn't it enjoy devouring other people's souls? Then let it taste what it felt like to have its soul slowly extracted.

"receive."

Su Changqing gently pinched his fingers.

The circle formed by the power of rules instantly shrank!

"ah--!!!"

The demonic soul let out an extremely mournful scream.

That enormous mass of black mist was compressed and compressed again by that irresistible force!

Ten zhang... one zhang... one chi...

In just a few breaths.

That ancient demonic soul, which was said to bring calamity to the world, was actually compressed by Su Changqing into a black bead the size of an infant's fist!

The bead's surface was covered with strange, demonic patterns, and inside there seemed to be a painful, distorted human face silently howling.

"Smack."

Su Changqing reached out and beckoned, and the black bead landed steadily in his palm.

He held it in his hand, weighed it in his hand, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Hmm, it feels pretty good. Although it's a bit ugly, the energy it contains is quite pure."

He turned his head and looked at Wuxin and the others, who were completely dumbfounded.

"Lei Wujie, haven't you always complained that your fire-burning technique isn't powerful enough? Swallow this bead, and I guarantee your fire will be able to burn through the snow-capped mountains of this outer heaven."

"ah?!"

Lei Wujie stared at the bead emanating an evil aura and retreated in terror. "Brother-in-law! You must be joking! Eating this thing would kill you! It's a demonic soul!"

"With me here, you won't die."

Su Changqing casually tossed the bead to Lei Wujie. "I've removed its demonic nature, leaving only its pure soul essence. This is a great fortune that many people would kill for. Don't be ungrateful, kid."

Lei Wujie hurriedly caught the black bead. Although he was still a little scared, after feeling the huge amount of pure energy inside, he swallowed and finally couldn't resist the temptation. He closed his eyes and swallowed it directly.

"Gulp."

The bead went into his stomach.

boom!

A crimson flame, ten times more violent than before, erupted from Lei Wujie's body!

"Holy crap! It's so hot! It's so hot!!!"

Lei Wujie screamed and rolled around in the snow, but his aura was rising at an alarming rate!

Wu Xin watched this scene with disbelief in his eyes.

That was the ancient demonic soul that had troubled his father his entire life and almost caused him to go mad!

In Su Changqing's hands, it was as easy as crushing an ant?!

Moreover, he casually refined it into a "perfect tonic pill" that could enhance cultivation?!

Where the hell did this god come from?!

"Mr. Su... I am truly impressed by your methods."

Wu Xin clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to Su Changqing. This time, there was no arrogance in his eyes, only utter reverence.

"Alright, stop flattering me."

Su Changqing dusted off his hands. "This place is freezing cold. Let's get down to business. My daughter is still waiting in the car to see the Yeti. If she gets impatient and cries, I'll hold you responsible."

"Yes! Please follow me, sir!"

Wu Xin quickly led the way, taking Su Changqing to the back of the black altar.

There, there is an ancient stone gate covered with thick ice and snow.

"Sir, this is where my father secluded himself in seclusion, and it is also where the successive sect leaders of the Outer Heavens stored their books and treasures."

Without thinking, he pushed open the stone door. "The 'Ice Jade Snow Lotus' you're looking for should be inside."

Su Changqing nodded and stepped inside.

An exploration into the deepest secrets of the Outer Heavens is about to begin.

Meanwhile, in the distant city of Tianqi.

An even bigger storm is brewing.
