218: Ice Crystal World
At the same time, Dao Yan and the other Prodigies also moved.
Instantly, the world was filled with radiance as the lights of various Bao techniques intertwined, forming a magnificent and colorful scene.
Some unleashed true fire secret techniques, with roaring flames burning in the air as if to swallow the entire world, while other Prodigies unleashed the true essence of ice. A cold aura permeated the air, and a thick layer of ice instantly froze over the ground.
Still other Prodigies unleashed lightning Bao techniques; streaks of lightning flashed across the sky, and lightning snakes ravaged the earth, carving out deep trenches.
Various Magic Treasures bloomed with brilliant light in the air, accompanied by the roars of Dragons and the cries of Phoenixes, along with glowing light and Dao prestige. These Prodigies, in order to block the sweeping pillar of fire, naturally used all their strength.
With so many Prodigies joining forces, the sounds of the Great Dao and Sanskrit chants resonated between heaven and earth, and auspicious light appeared above the firmament.
The power of the Bao techniques and the Qi overlapped, forming a powerful energy fluctuation.
Many plants in the crimson world were directly destroyed, giant rocks were pulverized into powder, and the entire world trembled.
This powerful energy surged toward the pillar of fire like a Dao.
Boom!
A huge roar resounded between heaven and earth. This time, the many Bao techniques and various Magic Treasures were finally not mercilessly swallowed by the pillar of fire.
Lin Ye's Sword Qi, in particular, cut a gap into the pillar of fire.
The collision of forces generated a shockwave, and the strength of that shockwave sent the Magic Treasures in the Void Realm flying backward.
The Cultivators could not block it in time and were also overturned by that huge wave.
Everyone quickly regained their composure, using the force of the rebound to rush toward the distant exit.
That pillar of fire was successfully blocked for five breaths; this amount of time was enough!
The Dao Bone on Lin Ye's chest flashed with light, and the Dragon Slaying Art allowed him to rush toward the exit at extreme speed. Dao Yan waved his horsetail whisk, and an auspicious cloud appeared beneath his feet. Stepping on it, he also rushed toward the exit, utilizing the shockwave.
The Prodigies used their various methods and finally reached the exit at the last moment. Without time to think, they rushed directly up the stairs.
Boom!
Just as they stepped onto the stairs, the pillar of fire crashed directly onto the white jade stairs.
The roaring sound caused the world to shake. Fortunately, the white jade stairs were made of an unknown material; despite being mercilessly ravaged by the pillar of fire, they did not leave a single mark and even blocked all the remaining power of the pillar of fire.
Otherwise, even if they had ascended to a higher level, the remaining power would likely have caught up to them.
"Master Lin! You came!" Cheng Dezhu saw Lin Ye appear and almost rushed forward to tackle him, but after seeing Lin Ye's look that seemed like it could kill, Cheng Dezhu immediately stopped in his tracks and said sheepishly, "Why can that little girl do it, but I can't?!"
"Could it be... hiss... does Master Lin like younger girls? Should I look for one for him when we get out?"
Just as Cheng Dezhu was pondering this, Xiang Tiange walked up to Lin Ye and said seriously, "Next time, it should be my turn!"
Lin Ye naturally knew what Xiang Tiange meant.
As a peerless Prodigy, Xiang Tiange naturally wanted to block the rear in such situations. However, since Lin Ye was the Saint, Xiang Tiange could only obey after orders were given.
And now, the suggestion Xiang Tiange was making was that the next time they encountered danger, he should be the one to go first.
Lin Ye turned his head to look at the world on the third level and said softly, "Your Opportunity should be coming soon."
At this moment, many Cultivators also turned their gazes to this third-level world.
Completely opposite to the second level, this was an ice-blue world.
The first thing that came into view was a vast white scene; an endless ice sheet extended into the distance, as if connecting with the horizon.
The ice surface shimmered with a cold light, like countless stars embedded within it.
In this ice world, everything seemed exceptionally quiet.
There was no wind, no birdsong, only the faint sound of water flowing occasionally beneath the ice.
The cold here made people's thoughts seem to slow down, as if time had frozen here as well.
Just like that crimson world, the chill here seemed impossible to resist relying solely on Qi; some Cultivators' bodies had already begun to show signs of freezing.
Cheng Dezhu saw this cold world and subconsciously said, "With this hot and cold, won't we catch a cold?"
Xiang Tiange: "..."
"Do you want to hear what you are saying? A cold? Is this an illness a Cultivator should be worried about? And what's with this hot and cold business?"
"If it weren't for the fact that your verbal power is truly terrifying, I doubt someone with your flighty personality could even join our Righteous Qi Sect."
"Let's go."
Lin Ye didn't say much, intending to head directly into this ice world. Now that they had arrived, they naturally needed to move upward quickly.
The Disciples of the Righteous Qi Sect followed Lin Ye into the ice world.
Cultivators from other factions also followed. Having learned from previous experience, everyone had become smart this time; they followed behind the Righteous Qi Sect. If Lin Ye turned around and ran, they would be able to run back at the first Opportunity.
As soon as they entered, the bone-chilling cold struck.
The wild wind, like sharp blades, cut wounds into countless people's bodies.
Combined with the bone-chilling cold, it made it almost impossible to move forward.
As before, some Cultivators wanted to use flight to rush to the front, but they hadn't risen very high before they turned into ice blocks, fell to the ground, and shattered.
Everyone could only walk forward slowly on the ground.
Crack, crack, crack...
Just as everyone continued to move forward, the ground suddenly made a noise.
The ice layer was gradually breaking.
Looking down, they saw that the thick ice had developed cracks, and there seemed to be a flowing river beneath it. Unsurprisingly, if one fell into the river water at this time, everything inside their body would instantly freeze.
It would be fine if one could just die here; at worst, they would just lose this Opportunity.
But if they remained alive after turning into an ice block, wouldn't that mean they would be trapped in this Lingxu Battlefield for the rest of their lives?
Sure enough, as the river became clearer, human-shaped ice blocks floated up. Through the ice, everyone saw that those ice blocks contained many living beings from unknown eras.
Their expressions were extremely terrified.
"Hurry! Hurry! You can't stop here!"
Seeing more and more cracks appearing on the ice surface, no one dared to delay. They didn't care about whether they should go back or not; they all accelerated and rushed forward.
"Roar!!!"
At the same time, a roar came from behind everyone.
Turning their heads to look, the Cultivators' faces revealed expressions of shock.
"It, it, it... it has chased after us?!"
