490: Thirty thousand miles of ice, the Demon Devouring Sea?!

His Physical Body, tempered by Grandmist Qi and long since reached Immortal Rank, remained incredibly strong under this extreme cold and suppression, not feeling much discomfort.

Lu Hao's Divine Thought swept out, and he immediately sensed a powerful force reviving beneath the ice.

"It seems the source is beneath this ice layer."

Lu Hao's gaze fell upon the bottomless, deep blue glow of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice beneath his feet.

"I want to see what's hidden down there!"

Lu Hao curled his lips, but his eyes grew serious. He took a deep breath, and the power of his Immortal Grade Physical Body erupted!

He didn't use any flashy Spells, only activated the simplest, purest power of his Physical Body!

Boom!

He raised his right foot and stomped hard on the ice surface beneath him!

Crack... Rumble rumble rumble!!!

A colossal sound emanated, like a meteor striking the earth, vast and mighty.

Centered on Lu Hao's landing spot, the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice, harder than divine iron, shattered beneath his foot like fragile glass, creating a massive crater tens of thousands of feet in diameter!

The swirling snow in the sky was pushed back into mid-air by this terrifying force.

But this destructive power was far from stopping. Lu Hao deliberately concentrated all his might beneath the sole of his foot, so within the enormous crater, a tunnel about ten feet in size frantically extended downwards, bottomless!

Lu Hao didn't hesitate for a moment, his figure transforming into a streak of light, rushing towards the center of the ice layer along the tunnel!

One thousand li... Three thousand li... Five thousand li!

Ten thousand li... The power of Lu Hao's stomp had completely dissipated by this point, but he still hadn't found the source. He could only continue deeper.

Here, Lu Hao's Immortal Grade Physical Body was his most powerful weapon!

Ten thousand li underground, the extreme cold was enough to freeze the Divine Soul of a Yang Solid Cultivator, but it had no effect on Lu Hao's Physical Body. The thick Ten-Thousand-Year Ice layer was as fragile as tofu before him!

Fifteen thousand li!

Twenty thousand li!

The further down he went, the lower the temperature, the darker the ice, and the harder it became.

The suppressive force targeting the Divine Soul also grew more terrifying, further shrinking Lu Hao's Divine Sense range, but his Physical Body was unparalleled, and his speed remained undiminished.

Twenty-five thousand li!

The temperature here had reached an astonishing level, the most extreme cold Lu Hao had ever experienced. He had no doubt that a powerful expert of the Yang Shi Realm would not survive a second here, instantly freezing into an ice sculpture.

Even an Early Stage Ascension expert would absolutely not be able to stay long in this temperature; given enough time, there would be a risk of falling!

Thirty thousand li!

Lu Hao felt as if he had reached the bottom of this ice layer. He extended his Divine Sense to investigate and was immediately startled!

Beneath his feet, about ten kilometers away, was actually the bottom of a deep sea!

"This... Is this the Devouring Demon Sea? This ruin's Northern Lands ice layer is actually within the Devouring Demon Sea? Devouring Demon Sea... What secrets do you hold?"

Lu Hao was very surprised, and according to his observation, he was still far from reaching the bottom of the Devouring Demon Sea.

But upon reaching this point, Lu Hao became somewhat unsure of his own cultivation, so he gave up the idea of exploring the Devouring Demon Sea.

Vaguely, Lu Hao always felt a sense of oppression from the Devouring Demon Sea, always feeling that there was an unpredictable danger in that place. Although his cultivation was among the strongest in the Eastern Region and even the Xuantian Ancient Realm, he felt that he was still far from qualified to explore it.

He should first find the source of the Immortal Demon Beasts' rampage.

At a depth of thirty thousand li, the surroundings were a Realm of darkness and deathly silence, with only the ice crystals reflecting the faint, ethereal blue of his protective spiritual light. Suddenly!

An extremely faint life fluctuation, mixed with ancient, painful, and confused Qi, penetrated the thick ice layer and was captured by Lu Hao's Divine Thought!

"Found it!"

Lu Hao's spirits lifted. He adjusted his direction slightly and accelerated again towards the source of that life fluctuation!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A moment later, the space ahead suddenly opened up!

A massive underground ice cavern, frozen for countless millennia, appeared before Lu Hao.

In the center of the ice cavern, a Spirit Deer, roughly the size of a human and covered in dull silver-white fur, lay quietly prostrate.

It was covered in thick Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice, almost merging with the ice layer, but its slightly opened eyes, at the moment Lu Hao intruded, difficultly shifted and looked towards him, the uninvited guest.

Lu Hao slowly walked to the Spirit Deer's head, examining the source of the ruin's catastrophe up close.

After a moment of observation, Lu Hao was surprised to find that the Spirit Deer's Physical Body was extremely powerful, even somewhat comparable to his own!

Even after dying for a hundred thousand years, even when frozen, a tenacious and immense life Origin, having endured countless tribulations without perishing, still existed on this massive body!

The faint silver light subtly flowing beneath its silver-white fur contained a profound Dao Charm that transcended Origin.

Immortal Body!

This was the first time Lu Hao had seen another creature possess an Immortal Body.

"A Spirit Deer, capable of possessing an Immortal Body, is truly unbelievable."

Lu Hao said softly.

Throughout the entire Xuantian Ancient Realm, this Physical Body was enough to be called king and ancestor!!

"Seeing the great war from a hundred thousand years ago, there's still too much information I don't know... Even a Spirit Deer with an Immortal Body could only be sealed beneath the ice layer, only now awakening."

"After that great war, too much information was covered up..."

Lu Hao reached out and gently pressed on the Spirit Deer's head. A wisp of extremely pure Divine Thought cautiously probed into its body.

"Hm?! This is... It's actually like this?!"

It turned out that this Spirit Deer... had long since experienced Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering. Now, it only possessed an Immortal Grade Physical Body.

What was driving this body now was not a complete Soul at all, but a wisp of a remnant Soul!

A wisp of a remnant Soul that, over endless years, had been instinctively re-condensed and pieced together by this immortal body from the shattered void!

This wisp of a remnant Soul was incredibly weak, like a flickering candle in the wind, capable of extinguishing at any moment.

Lu Hao could not estimate the Spirit Deer's cultivation, because it had already exceeded his understanding. It was a Realm he himself had not yet reached.

Just as Lu Hao was investigating, the Spirit Deer's eyes moved slightly, sweeping towards Lu Hao's direction.

The moment it clearly saw Lu Hao's face, the Spirit Deer's eyes instantly became incredibly agitated, filled with a very complex emotion!

"Woo..."
