174: Chapter 174 Young Master, you're awake?

Inside Cherry Fall's Sea of Consciousness, a chubby, nine-colored fat worm was sleeping soundly within a cage of white Immortal Qi!

Suddenly!

A Dragon's roar shattered the heavens!

The temperature plummeted, and ice crystals and snowflakes began to drift through the air.

The chubby, nine-colored fat worm was instantly frozen awake,

its face full of terror, its body shivering violently,

it was unclear whether it was out of fear or the cold,

or perhaps both!

A thousand-foot-long Ice Dragon, winding like a snake, tore through the air!

The thousand-foot-long Ice Dragon ripped through the air, emitting waves of sonic booms.

Wherever it passed, all ice crystals and snowflakes froze in place,

like a crowned Ice and Snow Emperor,

lunging straight toward the chubby, nine-colored fat worm!

Suddenly, the nine-colored fat worm, along with the cage of white Immortal Qi, vanished into thin air!

From the Void Realm, a Young Maiden slowly walked out.

The Young Maiden had long hair draping over her shoulders,

and radiated Immortal Qi from her entire body.

A black bodysuit perfectly outlined her voluptuous figure.

Most bizarrely, this maiden looked extremely similar to Cherry Fall!

That's right!

This was the chubby, nine-colored fat worm from just a moment ago!

Although the ten thousand year spirit fruit had used its Immortal Qi to Seal the Nine Poisons Spirit Worm for half a year,

buying Cherry Fall an extra half year of life!

But fortune and misfortune always depend on each other, and merits and demerits always walk hand in hand; everything has two sides.

It was true that the ten thousand year spirit fruit's Immortal Qi had Sealed the Nine Poisons Spirit Worm,

but the Immortal Qi had simultaneously unlocked its intelligence; the Nine Poisons Spirit Worm had already become a sentient spirit!

Furthermore, over these past few days, the Nine Poisons Spirit Worm had gradually refined a portion of the Immortal Qi cage.

Although it could not step out of the cage, it could merge the cage into its own body to take on a human form.

The Nine Poisons Spirit Worm had originally intended to completely refine the Immortal Qi cage over these few months,

then devour Cherry Fall's Divine Sense so it could parasitize her body and continue to Cultivate in the cultivation world.

However, the Nine Poisons Spirit Worm truly had not expected a thousand-foot-long Ice Dragon to suddenly kill its way out,

and it was clearly aiming to slay it!

The black-clad Young Maiden's eyes were as cold as ice, filled with killing intent.

Her delicate hand gripped the Void Realm, pulling out a sword glowing with nine-colored light!

The black-clad Young Maiden's calf muscles tensed into a perfect streamlined shape.

Her footsteps suddenly exerted force, turning her into a black afterimage.

She flourished a nine-colored sword flower and slashed fiercely toward the Ice Dragon's head!

The thousand-foot-long Ice Dragon exerted force in its waist,

whipping its hundred-foot-long dragon tail to smash heavily toward the black-clad Young Maiden!

Boom!

The nine-colored light sword slammed directly into the hundred-foot-long icy dragon tail, emitting the crisp sound of ice colliding!

The black-clad Young Maiden retreated a hundred feet, a trace of blood spilling from her rose-like lips.

Her delicate feet plowed two deep ruts into the ground!

However, what was bizarre was that even though her strength was clearly no match for the thousand-foot-long Ice Dragon,

the black-clad Young Maiden showed not a trace of panic, and her lips even curled into an arrogant arc!

The black-clad Young Maiden's footsteps suddenly exerted force,

leaving several afterimages in the air.

Her wrist turned, flourishing a nine-colored sword flower, and she slashed fiercely toward the thousand-foot-long Ice Dragon once again!

The thousand-foot-long Ice Dragon roared toward the sky, a Dragon's roar that made eardrums ache, and instantly clashed with the black-clad Young Maiden!

Cherry Fall was already unconscious at this moment, and her body temperature was continuing to drop.

Her long hair, beautiful eyes, pretty face, and even her delicate body were covered in a thick layer of ice!

Jiang Lan's expression changed drastically. If this continued, Cherry Fall would definitely be frozen to death!

Jiang Lan had originally thought that Cherry Fall would be fine once she took the antidote, but he hadn't expected the Nine Poisons Spirit Worm to be so troublesome. He had thought too simply before.

The fire-attribute Spiritual Qi within Jiang Lan's body suddenly surged wildly, like a warm current, continuously flowing from Jiang Lan's fingertips into Cherry Fall's body!

As the warm current entered her body, Cherry Fall's body temperature rose slightly, and her complexion became a little more rosy!

Inside Cherry Fall's Sea of Consciousness,

after the black-clad Young Maiden had battled the thousand-foot-long Ice Dragon for over a hundred rounds, she was smashed into a deep pit dozens of feet deep by a tail whip from the Ice Dragon!

The black-clad Young Maiden's expression changed drastically, and she spat out a mouthful of nine-colored blood!

"This isn't right? Logically, the female cultivator should have already been frozen to death by now. Why is she still not dead?"

That's right!

The Nine Poisons Spirit Worm actually couldn't defeat the thousand-foot-long Ice Dragon at all; all it needed to do was one thing: "stall"!

As long as it could stall until Cherry Fall was frozen to death by the Ice Dragon's cold energy, it could take the opportunity to devour Cherry Fall's consciousness, take over her Sea of Consciousness, occupy her body, and afterward use the "Sea of Consciousness Great Sword" to slay the thousand-foot-long Ice Dragon with a single strike!

From then on, the Nine Poisons Spirit Worm would be Cherry Fall, and even a Great Luo Immortal wouldn't be able to tell the difference!

The reason we are ourselves is precisely because we have a unique body, along with past memories and consciousness. Once Cherry Fall was frozen to death, all three of these would be occupied by the Nine Poisons Spirit Worm!

At this moment, Jiang Lan's face was deathly pale; the thousand-foot-large fire Spiritual Qi foundation within his body was now nearly bottoming out!

"Hiss~"

Jiang Lan gasped, sucking in a breath of cold air.

This was too bizarre, right?

Even if the Nine Poisons Spirit Worm was difficult to deal with, the poison should have been neutralized by now!

Moreover, this antidote was personally refined by Yun Baizhou using the Purple Saint Pill Furnace; logically, the medicinal effect should be doubled!

It had already been two hours, and Cherry Fall's Nine Poisons Spirit Worm still hadn't been neutralized!

The key was that his fire Spiritual Qi was about to run out; if that happened, he was afraid that Cherry Fall would truly be frozen to death!

Suddenly!

A cold little paw pressed against Jiang Lan's cheek.

The Nine-Tailed Fox's cold ice-attribute Spiritual Qi flowed through the little paw into Jiang Lan's body, transforming into a hundred-foot-long spirit Dragon that wound its way toward his thousand-foot-large fire Spiritual Qi foundation!

It made Jiang Lan shiver violently from the cold!

After battling the thousand-foot-long Ice Dragon for over five hundred rounds, the black-clad Young Maiden was severely injured and overwhelmed; she was slapped into two halves by the Ice Dragon's palm, then swallowed into its mouth and chewed up!

From the thousand-foot-long Ice Dragon's mouth came the sound of bones breaking and a horrific, blood-curdling scream, making one's scalp tingle!

The Nine Poisons Spirit Worm ultimately never waited for this maiden to freeze to death. Until its death, it never understood: why hadn't the female cultivator been frozen to death?

Due to the overdrawing of his Spiritual Qi and body, Jiang Lan passed out.

In a daze, he felt himself being kissed by two warm, soft jade lips. Two soft tongues intertwined like water and milk, emitting a "sizzling" rubbing sound.

Amidst his unconsciousness, Jiang Lan felt his clothes being removed one by one, and a delicate, beautiful body snuggled into his arms...

Several hours later, Jiang Lan opened his eyes hazily, and after just one glance, he was completely stunned!

He was stark naked, lying on Cherry Fall's boudoir bed!

Cherry Fall's pretty face was rosy, and her jade-like delicate body was sleeping sweetly in his arms!

Their breathing was intertwined, and the air was filled with the scent of hormones!

Jiang Lan's brain completely crashed, and several questions echoed incessantly within his mind: "Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?"

"Young Master, you are awake?"
