416: Chapter 426 Offense and Defense: A Changing Landscape!

"Hiss! It's damn cold!!"

As soon as Su Mo stepped into the Yougu Prison, he shuddered.

It was an extreme cold that ignored the Physical Body defenses of a Saint and directly froze the circulation of immortal power.

Yet, as everyone looked around, all they saw was a vast, white expanse of ice plains and crisscrossing glacial rifts. They did not see any of the legendary Ice Soul Remnants that were said to specifically attack a person's consciousness.

"If this is all there is to the extreme cold law, then this Yougu Prison, which makes countless Prodigies pale at the mention of its name, is a bit unworthy of its reputation."

Su Dao shook his head and tapped his foot lightly on the ice surface.

"Hum—"

A circle of black and white intertwined Yin and Yang Formation burst outward, instantly enveloping all nearly one hundred members of the Su Family.

The Yin and Yang Qi were endless, and the moment the bone-chilling extreme cold law touched the edge of the Formation, it was forcibly converted into a gentle coolness, causing everyone's tense bodies to instantly relax.

"Naturally, there's more. Qingnan mentioned to me that the most terrifying thing here is those Ice Soul Remnants that specifically transmit negative emotions." Su Mo shook the ice dregs off his shoulder armor while rubbing his hands together with great interest.

"In that case, everyone maintain Formation and continue forward." Su Dao walked to the center of the team to take command.

"The space here is suppressed by the Heavenly Dao law, and communication talismans are ineffective. Eldest Brother has been here for a year; let's find him and regroup first."

The group braved the wind and snow, marching majestically toward the depths of the prison.

Until three days later.

In front of a massive ice cave, they finally discovered the first wandering Ice Soul Remnant!

The Remnant, which was over three meters tall, had been floating aimlessly when it suddenly smelled the Life Qi of living people. Like a shark smelling blood, it let out an excited shriek, whipped its head around, and prepared to pounce to spread its negative emotions.

However, the moment it turned its head.

Its body screeched to a halt in mid-air.

This Remnant, which didn't possess much intelligence, suddenly felt an inexplicable chill—not the cold of the valley, but a trembling of its Soul.

It saw that not far ahead, hundreds of pairs of green, wolf-like eyes were staring fixedly at it!

In those gazes, there was no fear of the unknown, no awe of the extreme cold, only the greed one feels when seeing a treasure!

For a moment, this Ice Soul Remnant actually had an illusion...

It seemed like it was the victim?? The tables had turned?! Who exactly was the monster here?!

"Oh? Is this an Ice Soul Remnant? Why does it look so dim-witted?"

"Yeah, a face growing on a lump of ice, truly rare!"

"Brothers, move aside! Let me, your Second Brother, go first!!!"

Before everyone could study it carefully, Su Mo was already impatient.

His figure flashed like lightning, instantly rushing in front of the Ice Soul Remnant, and he excitedly grabbed its illusory ice face with both hands!

"Come, come! Don't be polite. Let me feel how exactly you temper our will?!" Su Mo's eyes shone as he urged it.

The Ice Soul Remnant instinctively felt an extremely dangerous aura and subconsciously launched an attack.

Cold, gloomy, and depraved negative emotional fluctuations turned into invisible spikes, stabbing straight into Su Mo's Divine Sense sea.

"Cultivate has no end; what's the use of struggling? Living in the moment and enjoying life is the eternal Dao..."

"Don't believe in the superstition of 'bitterness before sweetness.' Suffering first doesn't guarantee sweetness later, but sweetness first is definitely sweet..."

"Give up the slaughter. Go back now; a wife, children, and a warm bed are the perfect life you should be pursuing..."

The bewitching whispers echoed continuously in Su Mo's mind, attempting to disintegrate his fighting spirit.

However, after hearing these emotions, there wasn't a shred of confusion in Su Mo's eyes; instead, they were filled with doubt.

"What kind of dog barking are you making??"

Su Mo frowned, looking at the Remnant in his hands as if looking at an idiot.

"Can you say something about how to get stronger? Why is it all nonsense?"

"Hurry up and temper my will! Otherwise, I'll blow your head off right now!!"

Su Mo was angry.

He had thought this place would bring a life-or-death crisis to his Divine Sense and allow his willpower to be sublimated.

Turns out I stripped everything off, only to be fed this soft, poisonous chicken soup?!

The Ice Soul Remnant was also stunned.

It had stayed in this prison for countless years and had tricked countless arrogant Prodigies.

Anyone who listened to its words would fall into a mire of self-doubt and desire.

How was this creature in front of it completely different from those before?!

If one had to use a word to describe Su Mo, it would be—pure!

Pure to the point of excess!

In his mind, apart from fighting and getting stronger, there was simply no soil for these negative emotions to take root and sprout!

The Ice Soul Remnant was unwilling to give up; it increased its Soul Power output, trying to find Su Mo's weak point.

"If you only know how to Cultivate, you will miss the thousands of beauties in life..."

"Put down the demonic blade, and you will become a Buddha on the spot; you will welcome a brand-new life..."

"Don't miss the present moment, turning back is..."

"Bang!"

Before the Ice Soul Remnant's final bewitchment could finish, its ice face was blasted apart by a punch from an impatient Su Mo! Ice dregs flew everywhere.

"Put down the demonic blade? Are you fucking kidding me?!"

Su Mo shook the ice dregs off his hand, his face full of disgust and disdain.

In his heart, the teachings of his father, Su Feng, and his belief in getting stronger were unshakable by any force.

"Second Brother, what is this??"

Su Long keenly captured that wisp of extreme cold law floating in the air and swallowed it directly into his stomach.

After a brief refinement, he felt a faint increase in his Ancestral Dragon Bloodline, along with a trace of extreme cold resistance, and his eyes lit up instantly.

"Brothers! This thing can actually enhance Bloodline Power and temper the Physical Body!!"

Following Su Long's wolf-like howl.

The nearly one hundred Su Family Saints were completely ignited.

They no longer advanced in a group, but scattered like a swarm of locusts into the surrounding ice plains.

"Don't grab it! That lone one is mine!"

"Come quickly, come quickly, there's an Ice Soul nest here! I counted at least ten! Don't let them run away!"

"Hahaha! Pour some more poisonous chicken soup for me to hear? I want to see today whether your mouth is harder or my fist is!"

For a time, the Yougu Prison, a terrifying forbidden zone that had been dead silent for countless years, completely turned into a carnival Cultivation ground for the second generation of the Su Family.

Those Ice Soul Remnants, who usually tortured intruders to the point of wishing they were dead, now let out desperate wails like frightened young wives, fleeing in all directions as they were chased by this group of monsters across the ice plains!

...

Meanwhile.

In the boundless starry sky far away from Winter Abyss.

Clad in green robes, his body emitting a deadly, toxic aura, Great Emperor Wandu was sitting on a massive traveling starship.

In his hand, he clutched a Jade Slip recording the results of his divination of the Heavenly secrets.

After repeated deliberation and intelligence gathering, combined with the hexagrams provided by Zhuge Qingming, he finally pieced all the clues together and reached a conclusion.

That No. 99 consumable that caused the destruction of the Myriad Poison Demon Sect, as well as that mysterious force, would both appear in that land of extreme cold!

"Luzhou, Winter Abyss!"

"Zhu Family!"

Great Emperor Wandu's eyes flashed with a vicious, snake-like, gloomy light.

Although he was wary of that mysterious force capable of shielding the Heavenly secrets, he was a Peak expert at the Middle Stage of the Great Emperor realm, a figure standing at the top of the combat power pyramid of the entire Great Thousand Star Domain; he could absolutely not swallow this insult!

"This Emperor wants to see exactly who dares to destroy the millions of years of foundation of my Myriad Poison Demon Sect!"

"Daring to cut off this Emperor's path of advancement... even if it is a god, this Emperor will bite a piece of flesh off you!!"
