157: Frosty Sky Ant

Watching the Third Prince slink away, a faint arc appeared on Li Jiangchen's lips.

With a flick of his palm, three drops of ten-thousand-year cold marrow spirit milk floated in the air, reflecting an enchanting luster.

'This Ruler of Guanghan Realm is quite sensible; since the target of his offering is a standard Sixth Heaven Overlord, he obediently presented one drop of ten-thousand-year cold marrow spirit milk.

Adding the drop from the Bee Hunting Tower, that makes four drops of spirit milk.

To Breakthrough to the fifth heaven of Body Refining, I am only missing one Spirit Bone with a strong Foundation.

It would be best if it were ice-attributed,' Li Jiangchen calculated secretly.

The Ancient Beast Mountain Range is teeming with Vicious Beasts, yet ice-attributed ones are scarce.

There are only a few dozen types, and among them, only three are Sixth Heaven ice-attributed Vicious Beasts, which are not suitable for Body Refining.

On the side, the Ruler of Guanghan Realm sighed inwardly.

With fifth heaven cultivation, yet combat strength surpassing a Sixth Heaven Overlord and approaching a Pseudo-Emperor; this is something only the peerless Geniuses of the Major Thousand Worlds in rumors could achieve.

And those at the pinnacle of these peerless Geniuses are known as Supreme Seeds.

Could it be that the young man before me is a peerless Genius from some Major Thousand Worlds?

At this moment, a voice broke the Ruler of Guanghan Realm's reverie.

"The Ruler of Guanghan Realm cultivates the Ice Dao; do you know of any locations for Sixth Heaven ice-attributed Vicious Beasts?"

"Sixth Heaven ice-attributed Vicious Beasts..." The Ruler of Guanghan Realm pondered for a moment before saying, "Actually, on the outskirts of my Guanghan Realm, there is a Sixth Heaven Frost-Winged Sky-Horn Ant.

Years ago, I manipulated the world fetal membrane to inhale and exhale Origin Qi, condensing frost to form a Formation.

I don't know when, but it actually attracted a young Frost-Winged Sky-Horn Ant.

This creature is a wild, exotic breed; even in its youth, it possessed Sixth Heaven cultivation.

It inhales and exhales ice-attributed Origin Qi on the outskirts and has carved out a Myriad Year Profound Ice Cave, hiding deep within.

Now, I fear it has already reached the peak of the Sixth Heaven.

If Elder Li could eliminate this creature, it would also solve a problem for my Guanghan Realm."

"Frost-Winged Sky-Horn Ant..." Hearing this, Li Jiangchen's eyes lit up.

This ant is born with immense strength and is ice-attributed; it perfectly matches the attributes of the ten-thousand-year cold marrow spirit milk, making it the best choice for Body Refining.

The next day.

Li Jiangchen arrived at the edge of the Guanghan Realm's world fetal membrane, holding a profound crystal compass in his hand; the ice crystal needle on it was trembling continuously, pointing towards the southwest.

This item was gifted by the Ruler of Guanghan Realm and can track the trail of that Frost-Winged Sky-Horn Ant.

As for the Ruler of Guanghan Realm, without the blessing of the Origin, how would he dare to leave the Guanghan Realm to come out and slay this creature?

"In this direction, then..."

Li Jiangchen was about to leave when he faintly sensed a hidden gaze; his Spiritual Sense quietly dispersed, and the figure of a person appeared in his mind.

"Still unwilling to give up, planning to ambush me?" Li Jiangchen's lips curled into a trace of disdain.

The Power of Wind and Thunder appeared beneath his feet, turning into a streak of light and disappearing from the spot.

A moment later, a person appeared, his face full of killing intent.

"This person's speed has reached the Pseudo-Emperor level; if he could be refined into a Puppet, it would be wonderful."

Strange tree-like black patterns appeared on the Third Prince's face; his cave-heaven treasure opened, revealing a pitch-black ancient tree. On its branches grew fruits shaped like insect cocoons, and one could vaguely see powerful beings gestating inside.

If Li Jiangchen were here, he would definitely recognize that this tree was the Nirvana Puppet Tree he encountered at the Realm Heart earlier.

However, the one before him was extremely old, its aura terrifying, actually approaching the Seventh Heaven Emperor Realm level.

At this moment.

Li Jiangchen traveled at high speed, the surrounding cold air forming an ice shell around his body.

"According to what the Ruler of Guanghan Realm said, the deeper the cold, the closer I am to the Myriad Year Profound Ice Cave.

It seems I am almost there."

After a cup of tea, a strange ice crystal cave resembling a beehive came into view, from which howling cold winds and strange roars could be heard from time to time.

"This aura, it is indeed the Frost-Winged Sky-Horn Ant." Li Jiangchen flicked his finger, and streaks of Sword Light darted into the Myriad Year Profound Ice Cave, destroying everything frantically, causing ice shards to splatter immediately.

Three breaths later, an angry roar came from within, and the ground trembled; a Vicious Beast in the shape of an ant, about several dozen zhang in size and covered in ice crystals on its body, rushed out from inside.

"A Sixth Heaven Overlord. It is even one level stronger than what the Ruler of Guanghan Realm said." Li Jiangchen was not alarmed but delighted.

The Demon Kingdom, Immortal Sword Domain, and Ten Directions Immortal Slaying Sword Formation were all opened, the power of the three Domains covering the entire area.

"It's just right to test the power of this Tyrant Sword." Li Jiangchen pointed his fingertip toward the sky, and strands of mysterious aura gathered, attaching themselves to the demon slaying sword.

This is the Tyrant Qi drifting between heaven and earth, which can greatly amplify the power of the Flying Sword.

"Go."

Li Jiangchen slashed out with his sword, and Water and Fire Ruthlessness erupted, like a meteor crashing onto the body of the Frost-Winged Sky-Horn Ant.

Boom—

The power of water and fire erupted, and a destructive force exploded outwards, rising into a sky full of ice mist.

"Under the coverage of the Tyrant Sword, the power of Water and Fire Ruthlessness increased by about twenty percent, finally breaking through the one-zhang threshold of the Emperor Realm.

However, this creature is truly an ancient exotic breed, its vitality and defensive power are incredibly strong.

Taking my Water and Fire Ruthlessness head-on, its life aura only dropped by a fraction."

At this moment.

Crack—

The ice surface shattered, and a dragon-like aura streaked over at high speed; accompanied by a roar, the Frost-Winged Sky-Horn Ant suddenly rushed out from under the ice, its ferocious mouthparts covered in cold light, actually wanting to snap Li Jiangchen in two with one bite.

"Good beast!" Li Jiangchen stepped on the Power of Wind and Thunder, and in the instant he turned into lightning to dodge, he swung his sword violently, unleashing Water and Fire Ruthlessness.

The power of water and fire erupted inside the Frost-Winged Sky-Horn Ant's mouth, instantly causing it to wail, its life aura dropping by a chunk.

"Covered in ice armor and plating all over, is the mouth the only weak point?"

After slashing out several more styles of Water and Fire Ruthlessness, the Frost-Winged Sky-Horn Ant's aura plummeted, and it actually rushed frantically toward its nest.

A streak of light appeared beneath Li Jiangchen's feet, the Power of Wind and Thunder surged, and he killed his way to the front of the Frost-Winged Sky-Horn Ant at high speed.

At this moment, a hint of anthropomorphic mockery appeared on the Frost-Winged Sky-Horn Ant's face; frost condensed behind its tail, forming a blade that suddenly slashed through the Void Realm.

Clang—

A bloodstain appeared on Li Jiangchen's body, and boundless sharpness swept across the surrounding glaciers; accompanied by a teeth-gritting sound, the glaciers slowly slid down.

Just at this moment, twelve shadow Puppets appeared all around, and an ancient tree darted into the Void Realm, condensing a mysterious Formation.

"Kill!"

The twelve Puppets attacked, each of them possessing peak Sixth Heaven strength, and with the blessing of the Formation, they were approaching the level of a Sixth Heaven Overlord.

"Finally came out..." The Li Jiangchen who had been cut into two pieces had a curved smile on his lips.

His body suddenly reassembled, and twelve afterimages darted out from him, each with a different form, yet they all simultaneously unleashed the Momentary Eternal Calamity.

The white Dragon formed by the Power of Time and Space raged, instantly annihilating the shadow Puppets one by one.

Seeing those twelve white Dragons converge into one, turning into a pale-scaled white Dragon, it crashed through the ancient tree Formation above.

The Third Prince, who was watching from the shadows, immediately turned pale: "Pseudo-Emperor combat strength!"

Boom—

The white Dragon attacked, and several rays of spiritual light appeared on the Third Prince's body, manifesting several Spirit Treasures; after holding on for a few breaths, they were all annihilated.

"You cannot kill me! My father will never let you go! Ahhh!"

The Power of Time and Space swept past, the Third Prince's body annihilated inch by inch, his aura waning, leaving only a head behind, with his Divine Soul hidden inside, terrified beyond measure.

"Spare me, and I can let bygones be bygones; I still have three hidden legacies in the Jiao Chi Realm... they are all yours!"

Li Jiangchen expressionlessly collected the storage items, grabbed the head, and threw it violently; the head traced an arc in the air, and immediately after, a frost-cold figure darted past.

The Third Prince's remnant soul was swallowed into the belly of the Frost-Cold Sky-Horn Ant.

At the same time, a mysterious mark appeared and was branded onto the body of the Frost-Cold Sky-Horn Ant, faintly possessing the aura of the Seventh Heaven Emperor Realm.

"As expected, this person is after all a descendant of the Emperor Realm; killing him would indeed produce a tracking mark..."

Li Jiangchen looked toward the Frost-Cold Sky-Horn Ant, seeing it fleeing at high speed, already having reached the cave entrance, less than one hundred zhang away.
