264: Chapter 264 The Secrets of the Magic Array, Ultimate Killing Intent

Deep within the Extreme Cold Ice Domain, the cold wind howled.

Gu Hongchen's brow furrowed, her beautiful face filled with deep worry. She gripped the biluo emperor sword tightly in her hand, her gaze fixed on the Ice Spirit Snow Ape King kneeling in the ice pit.

"Make yourself clear!" Gu Hongchen's voice was urgent, laced with unconcealed anxiety. "Just how terrifying is the sealing Formation on the outskirts of the Ancient Heavenly Court Ruins? Is it really impossible for even a True Immortal Realm expert to force it open?"

She couldn't help but be anxious.

The Gu Family had exhausted countless resources, and she had risked her life to follow Su Xuanchen all the way into this extreme forbidden land of the Chaos Sea. If she were to see the Ancient Heavenly Court Ruins right in front of her but have to return empty-handed because of an unbreakable Formation, it would be more painful than death.

Facing Gu Hongchen's sharp questioning...

The Snow Ape King, whose body was as massive as a mountain, lowered its giant head in extreme desolation. A flash of deep powerlessness and bitterness crossed its crimson eyes.

"It's useless." The Snow Ape King shook its head, its voice rough yet filled with despair. "The level of that Formation is simply beyond your imagination."

The Snow Ape King sighed and began to recount the secrets of the past.

"Back then, the Heavenly Court collapsed, and the ruins fell into the Void Realm turbulence. We hid within the debris and luckily escaped. Later, the ruins drifted to this Extreme Cold Ice Domain, and by a stroke of luck, I managed to walk out through a crack in the Seal."

"I originally thought this Extreme Cold Ice Domain was an excellent place to settle down, suitable for our clan to multiply and thrive. However, once I had settled the clan and wanted to return to the Heavenly Court ruins to find my former companions..."

The Snow Ape King's massive body trembled slightly.

"I was horrified to find that the way back had long been completely sealed off!"

"That Formation is extremely bizarre; there was no resistance when coming out. But once you want to enter from the outside, even though I exerted all my strength and even used the power of the ice soul pearl, I couldn't budge the Formation in the slightest. It's simply as difficult as ascending to the heavens!"

Hearing these words, Gu Hongchen's heart sank completely to the bottom.

If even a half-step True Immortal Rank Vicious Beast wielding an Ancient Immortal Artifact couldn't budge it in the slightest, the power of this Formation definitely exceeded everyone's understanding.

She subconsciously turned her head to look at Su Xuanchen standing nearby.

However.

To Gu Hongchen's surprise.

Whether it was Su Xuanchen, or Chang Xiyue and Ji Luanxi beside him, the expressions of these three were surprisingly calm.

There was no panic, not even a hint of discouragement.

Su Xuanchen stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in white. Not even a ripple appeared in his deep eyes.

In his view, there was no Formation in this world that could not be broken.

The Ancient Heavenly Court Ruins had been drifting in the Void Realm turbulence of the Chaos Sea for nearly an epoch. No matter how powerful a supreme Immortal Rank Formation was, after experiencing the erosion and wear of such a long time, it would inevitably reveal fatal flaws.

What's more.

A cold, arrogant smirk curled at the corner of Su Xuanchen's mouth.

Just because a mere Snow Ape King, who had surpassed the Emperor Realm and only just touched the threshold of a True Immortal, couldn't enter, did that mean he, Su Xuanchen, was also helpless?

What a huge joke!

He possessed the Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Primordial Demon Body and the Chaos Immortal Bone, and even had the myriad things mother qi cauldron, a supreme treasure that suppressed the heavens. If it really came to a desperate situation, at worst, he would just use the cauldron to smash a path open!

Standing behind him, Chang Xiyue and Ji Luanxi had a near-blind absolute trust in Su Xuanchen.

Chang Xiyue's cold face was full of certainty. In her heart, as long as Su Xuanchen was there, nothing in this world could stop their progress. Never mind a broken Formation; even if a true Immortal King descended, her husband would definitely be able to blast them to death with a single punch.

Ji Luanxi was even more carefree, sitting on the ice surface, holding a few freshly picked ice spirit jade fruits and munching on them loudly, completely disregarding whatever sealing Formation there was.

Su Xuanchen ignored Gu Hongchen's anxiety.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, his mind rapidly deducing the information the Snow Ape King had just provided.

"Only allows exit, not entry..."

Su Xuanchen murmured to himself, a brilliant light suddenly flashing in his deep eyes.

"I understand."

Su Xuanchen spoke suddenly, his voice not loud, but it reached the ears of everyone present with extreme clarity.

He looked directly at the bottomless frost mist ahead and stated his deduction with absolute certainty.

"That Ancient Heavenly Court was not completely destroyed and scattered across the heavens as the outside world rumored!"

Su Xuanchen spoke word by word, his tone revealing a peerless sharpness that saw through everything.

"It was actively sealed off by someone!"

Boom!

As soon as these words were spoken, both Gu Hongchen and the Snow Ape King were shaken.

Su Xuanchen continued to peel away the layers of analysis.

"If the Heavenly Court was truly shattered by a powerful enemy, how could there be such a complete sealing Formation with such clear rules on the periphery of the ruins?"

"That Immortal Rank Formation, which only allows exit and not entry, was not meant to trap the people inside at all!"

A brilliant light burst from Su Xuanchen's eyes.

"On one hand, it's to protect the core ruins of the Heavenly Court from being completely destroyed by powerful enemies from the outside and the Vicious Beasts of the Chaos Sea."

"On the other hand, it's to leave a final path of escape for the living beings surviving inside the Heavenly Court!"

"The person who laid down this Formation was definitely a core figure of the Heavenly Court back then, and it's even highly likely it was that legendary Ancient Empress herself!"

This extremely meticulous and logical deduction caused Gu Hongchen and the Snow Ape King to gasp in shock.

Gu Hongchen's beautiful eyes widened, her face full of horror and disbelief.

She hadn't thought of this at all.

If Su Xuanchen's deduction was true, then within these Ancient Heavenly Court Ruins, there was definitely hidden a shocking secret capable of overturning the entire structure of the All Heavens and Myriad Realms! There might even be supreme experts from the Heavenly Court of old who have survived to this day!

Thinking of this, Su Xuanchen's expectations for this trip to the Ancient Heavenly Court grew even more intense.

He wanted to see exactly what good things were hidden in this supreme heritage that had been actively sealed for an epoch!

Gu Hongchen looked at Su Xuanchen's confident and overbearing posture.

The heart that had been in her throat finally settled down completely.

Gu Hongchen let out a long breath of turbid air, her back already soaked with cold sweat.

At this moment, a strong sense of relief welled up in her heart.

She was secretly glad that when she discovered the biluo emperor sword in the Family Secret Realm, she hadn't listened to the suggestions of those old fogey high-level members of the clan to hide the emperor sword and attempt to monopolize this supreme Opportunity of the Ancient Heavenly Court.

Looking at it now, that suggestion was foolish to the extreme!

Even if she had brought the biluo emperor sword back to the Family, and even if the Gu Family had invited out the True Immortal Old Ancestor who had been in seclusion for years and brought the entire clan's strength to the depths of the Chaos Sea...

Facing that peerless Immortal Rank Formation that even a half-step True Immortal Rank Vicious Beast couldn't budge, the Gu Family would definitely be helpless, only able to gaze at the ocean and sigh.

They might even have been swallowed alive by the Vicious Beasts in this Extreme Cold Ice Domain halfway there!

Gu Hongchen clearly understood a cruel fact.

In this Chaos Sea where Opportunities and death coexisted, the only way to get a piece of the pie was to cling tightly to Su Xuanchen's massive thigh and follow him!

Others didn't even have the qualification to touch such an Opportunity!

Just as everyone was harboring their own thoughts and discussing how to deal with the sealing Formation next...

A sudden change occurred!

"So cold..."

An extremely weak, trembling cry suddenly came from behind everyone.

Su Xuanchen's brow furrowed sharply, and he turned around instantly.

He saw Ji Luanxi, who had been sitting on the ice surface munching carefree on ice spirit jade fruits.

She was now curled up in a ball in extreme pain!

Her originally rosy and beautiful face had now turned as pale as paper, without a hint of blood.

A terrifying cold Qi, so shocking it seemed it would even freeze the surrounding space, was frantically radiating from Ji Luanxi's delicate body!

"Crack, crack, crack, crack!"

The ten-thousand-year-old hard ice beneath Ji Luanxi actually rapidly formed a layer of even more dazzling frost under the erosion of this cold Qi.

Her whole body trembled violently, her hands tightly clutching her shoulders, her lips frozen purple.

"Husband... I'm so cold..."

Ji Luanxi called out with great difficulty.

She merely opened her mouth to exhale.

That warm breath, the moment it left her red lips, actually condensed in mid-air into a cloud of fine, bone-chilling ice shards, pitter-pattering onto the ground!

This kind of extreme cold was something even a Great Emperor Realm expert who Cultivated ice-attribute techniques definitely could not withstand!

"Luanxi!"

Chang Xiyue's face paled in shock, and she hurriedly tried to step forward to support her.

"Don't touch her!"

Su Xuanchen shouted, directly stopping Chang Xiyue's movement.

He saw at a glance that the condition inside Ji Luanxi's body was extremely bad. That cold Qi was frantically ravaging her Meridians; if Chang Xiyue touched her rashly, she would likely be directly counter-attacked by this cold Qi and have her Divine Soul frozen.

Su Xuanchen's face instantly became gloomy to the extreme.

With a flash, he appeared beside Ji Luanxi. His Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Primordial Demon Body roared into action as he domineeringly reached out his large hand and pulled the curled-up Ji Luanxi into his arms.

Blazing Immortal-Demon blood Qi surged frantically into Ji Luanxi's body, attempting to suppress the rampaging cold Qi.

"What exactly is going on?!"

Su Xuanchen turned his head, his gaze extremely cold as it swept toward the Snow Ape King kneeling nearby.

The Snow Ape King shuddered all over in fear.

It looked at the few fruit pits scattered by Ji Luanxi's feet, swallowed hard, and stated the reason in extreme terror.

"Great Immortal... it's those fruits!"

The Snow Ape King pointed at the fruit pits on the ground, its voice trembling.

"Although the ice spirit jade fruit is a supreme Immortal medicine, the extreme cold Origin contained within is extremely overbearing. An outside Cultivator, even at the Peak Emperor Realm, can only consume half a fruit at most at one time and must go into seclusion to refine it for several months."

The Snow Ape King looked at Ji Luanxi's pale face and swallowed in despair.

"This young lady... she just... she just munched through five of them in one go!"

"The Meridians in her body simply cannot withstand such a massive amount of extreme cold Origin; this is the extreme cold Qi completely rampaging and backfiring!"

As soon as the words fell.

Boom!

An extremely pure, unreserved, and extreme killing intent erupted from Su Xuanchen's body!

This killing intent was like physical ten-thousand-year black ice, instantly sealing off the Void Realm within a hundred-foot radius.

Su Xuanchen's usually lazy face now had no expression at all.

In his deep eyes, a hair-raising cold light of death flickered, locking onto the kneeling Snow Ape King.

The Snow Ape King was enveloped by this extreme killing intent.

It felt its blood freeze instantly, as if it had fallen into the deepest part of the Nine Serenity Hell in an instant.

Its massive body trembled uncontrollably, and even its breathing came to a complete stop.

The Snow Ape King's heart was completely filled with endless fear.

It knew very clearly that if anything happened to Ji Luanxi, this man before it, who was like a demon god, would definitely not hesitate to blast it to death on the spot.
