464: Your father's kidney is good.

Boom! Boom, boom...

A dozen huge blocks of ice shattered, and Tang Ku and the others stood up from the snow. Except for Tang Ku, who looked thoughtful, the rest of them all wore bewildered expressions.

"Damn it, what is this situation? Have we arrived at the Ice and Fire Island? Or did we reach Punk Hazard?"

Brushing the snow off his body, Tang Xian couldn't help but curl his lips and curse, "How did we jump from one extreme to another like this?"

"Hell!"

Tang Ku frowned slightly.

"Master, what is Hell?"

Xiao Cui spat out the snow in her mouth, looked at the blizzard constantly blowing from the sky, and suddenly sneezed. She shivered and said, "It's so cold, it feels like it could freeze a person's soul!"

"I have seen this situation in Hell before!"

Tang Ku said in a deep voice, "I finally understand where the changes in the extreme environment of Hell come from! It turns out they all took inspiration from the Ashura Realm!"

As he spoke, Tang Ku recounted what he had seen and heard in the Ashura Realm, as well as how he had rescued the trapped Ksitigarbha, as concisely as possible.

"So that's how it is!" Tang Xian glanced at the strong winds and the extreme cold in the sky, and said in a deep voice, "The Ashura Realm is a world, while Hell is just a space opened up by someone. The person who created that space drew inspiration from the harsh environment of the Ashura Realm, which is why Hell is so terrifying..."

"Can... sss... we... hurry... hurry up... and go... sss... please? I'm... sss... freezing... to... death... a-choo... a-choo..."

Red Boy shivered, wiping his nose, and said.

He had a Pure Yang Fire attribute body and possessed strong resistance to ordinary cold, but in this harsh environment that could freeze Spiritual Qi and even souls, he had become the most vulnerable one. This was the principle of how all things mutually generate and restrain each other.

"Hmm, looking at the situation, this blizzard probably won't stop for a long time. That's fine, at least we can just walk across, saving the trouble of traversing through the sky!"

Tang Xian suddenly touched his belt buckle, and several sets of cotton clothes and pants instantly appeared in his hands. He distributed the clothes to everyone and then quickly wrapped himself up tightly.

"Put these on, they can withstand this extreme cold!"

Tang Xian said.

Xiao Cui took them and looked, immediately feeling that these cotton clothes and pants were very bulky and ugly, and would make it inconvenient to move, so she was reluctant to wear them. However, seeing that everyone else had wrapped themselves up tightly and feeling the cold seeping into her body, making it difficult to even move, she didn't care about anything else and pouted as she put on the gear.

Strangely enough, although these cotton clothes looked like they were made of ordinary materials, they were surprisingly warm once worn, as if it were spring. Even the palms of her hands and her face, which were exposed to the air, felt warm, as if a protective film had been placed over her body. Furthermore, she could move quite flexibly without feeling weighed down.

"This is strange. Where did you get so many strange yet very practical items?"

Tang Ku asked curiously.

Tang Xian said triumphantly, "Impressive, right? My second aunt had her subordinates knit these for me. They are absolutely great treasures for resisting the cold!"

Tang Ku curled his lips and said, "How many... how many wives did your father marry?"

"Married... what does that have to do with you?"

Tang Xian rolled his eyes and said, "You still have the leisure to care about this gossip right now? Focus on what's in front of us first!"

"Heh, it seems that besides having good kidneys, your father is also quite capable with women!" Tang Ku gave him a strange look, then immediately saw another eccentric character.

Black Mountain, dressed in a black robe, looked bewildered and asked the others, "Are you really that cold?"

Everyone looked at each other. Tang Ku suddenly realized, "That's right, your true form is a mountain stone born from a hundred-refined fire. This extreme cold, or even the scorching Magma Hell from before, is actually not a problem for you at all!"

Red Boy and Tang Xian looked at Black Mountain with envy, while Xiao Cui on the side couldn't help curling her lips and saying, "Hmph, stinky rock, what are you showing off for!"

Tang Ku smiled bitterly and said, "Alright, now there's no problem. Everyone must stick together later, don't get separated. This Ashura Realm is very eerie, and no one knows what will happen next, so you must be careful!"

Everyone rested for a moment, then set off on their journey, trudging through the snow.

Speaking of which, with their strength, traveling in such a harsh environment wouldn't normally be difficult, but the extreme cold was truly terrifying, and combined with the headwind and snow, it made the journey incredibly difficult.

"The layout of this Ashura Realm is almost exactly the same as Hell, even the only place unaffected is the same. But, in such a harsh environment, how does the Ashura Clan survive?"

When Tang Ku was the Golden Cicada, he had seen the true Eight Legions of Dragons, and the Ashuras among them were no different from ordinary humans. The reason the Ashuras worshipped in the Buddhist temples looked so fierce and ugly was because that was the Dharma form they revealed when fighting.

Furthermore, their living habits were very similar to humans. In other words, if the Ashura Clan here wanted to survive, they would definitely need certain resources. If they relied only on that little "oasis" in the middle that wasn't affected by the harsh environment, it would be impossible to support anyone.

Then, how exactly did the Ashura Clan survive in such an environment?

"No wonder the Ashura Realm wants to invade. Living in a place like this is simply not a life for people!"

Xiao Cui couldn't help but complain.

Tang Ku smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "You got two points wrong. First, it's not certain whether the original environment of the Ashura Realm was like this. Second, when the Ashura Clan had communication with the Upper Realm, they actually had abundant resources. They had absolutely no need to launch an invasion for the sake of survival!"

"Exactly, so following this logic, the reason the Ashura Clan launched the war is intriguing!" Tang Xian chuckled, "Do you remember the story I told you? That's right, the Extraterrestrial Demons, or rather the strong ones from another world, that Master—what exactly did he use to persuade the Clan Chief of the Ashura Clan to help him invade the Human Race?"

Tang Ku fell silent. Suddenly, he thought of something, and a look of shock appeared on his face. Just as he was about to open his mouth to say something, he suddenly frowned slightly. Then, he soared into the air and punched towards a sweeping tornado. This move contained the Fist Intent of the Great Wilderness Divine Fist's Heaven Burial, and its power was unimaginable. The tornado instantly shattered as if it were a solid object.

Just as everyone was wondering why he had suddenly gone crazy, a streak of light moving at an extremely fast speed escaped from the shattered tornado, then immediately burrowed into the snow and disappeared without a trace!
