However, it has weaknesses: it is not fast and its attack methods are limited.
“Jiang Xuelan, shut up!” shouted David.
Jiang Xuelan formed a hand seal, and the ice-blue divine light turned into a wall of ice, blocking the guard’s path.
The guard destroyed the ice wall with a single slash of the sword, but that brief respite was enough.
“Bing Wuhen, face direct confrontation!”
Bing Wuhen lunged forward, and his ice sword clashed with the guard’s ice sword.
His cultivation level wasn’t as high as that guard, but he didn’t need to win; he just needed to hold off the guard.
“Bingxue’er, left side! Bingfenghan, right side!”
Ice Snow’s ice whip wrapped around the guard’s left arm, while Ice Frozen’s ice spear pierced the guard’s right shoulder.
The guard was one step late.
David made a move.
The purple figure left a trail of afterimages in the void and instantly appeared behind the guard.
The Dragon Slayer Sword, covered in chaotic purple flames, pierced the guard’s back.
The guard’s body suddenly stiffened.
The blood red color in his eyes slowly faded, and his body began to disintegrate, turning into countless icy blue light spots.
Spots of light floated in space, like countless fireflies.
David drew his Dragon Slayer Sword and turned around. “Let’s go.”
The five people passed through the space and arrived at the third ice gate.
The third ice gate was even older and more mysterious than the first two ice gates.
The rune carvings on the door were already somewhat blurry, but the aura it radiated was even more terrifying.
The runes resembled ancient rivers flowing in the darkness.
In the center of the ice gate are three large characters: “Ice Soul Pass”.
“Ice Soul Pass tests one’s bloodline.”
Bei Mingyuan’s voice echoed in David’s mind, “Only those with the pure Ice God bloodline can enter. David, you cannot enter.”
David frowned. “So Jiang Xuelan will go in alone?”
“Yes.” Bei Mingyuan’s voice was very gentle. “This is his fate, and he must face it alone.”
David turned around and looked at Jiang Xuelan. “I can’t go in. Be careful.”
Jiang Xuelan nodded without saying anything.
He walked to the ice door and placed his hand on it.
Ice-blue divine light radiated from his palm and flowed into the runes on the ice gate.
The runes started to twinkle, the blue light getting brighter and more dazzling.
The ice door slowly opened.
Behind the door lay an endless void.
Countless icy blue crystals floated in the void, each containing a wisp of white mist.
At the edge of the void, there was an ice-blue pillar of light, within which floated a giant ice crystal.
A blurry human figure was trapped inside the ice crystal.
The condition of the northern ravines is very unfortunate.
Jiang Xuelan took a deep breath and stepped into the void.
He walked step by step towards that ice blue pillar of light.
With every step he took, the surrounding ice crystals would light up, and white mist would gush out from the crystals, condensing into a blurry human figure in front of him.
The figures were men and women, young and old, all wearing ancient ice armor, their faces were blurry, but their eyes were shining brightly.
Ancestor of the Ice God lineage.
They looked at Jiang Xuelan speechlessly, but their eyes held a trace of hope, a trace of relief, and a trace of trust.
Jiang Xuelan’s tears rolled down her cheeks.
He walked past his ancestor’s shadow and stood before the ice-blue pillar of light. He reached out and placed his hand on the ice crystal.
The ice crystals shattered into pieces.
Bei Mingyuan’s lingering resentment drifted out of the ice crystal, turning into an ice-blue beam of light that entered Jiang Xuelan’s forehead.
Jiang Xuelan’s body shook violently, and an incredible power emerged from within her.
The ice-blue divine light turned into a pillar of light that shot into the sky, illuminating the entire void. His cultivation began to break through the boundaries—middle stage, late stage, and peak of the eighth rank of the True Immortal Realm.
He opened his eyes, which were filled with tears.
He saw it.
He witnessed the history of the Ice God’s lineage, the struggles and sacrifices of his ancestors, the glory and decline of the ancestral land, as well as the terror of the destroyer and the truth of the seal.
He knew what he had to do.
He turned around and stepped out of the void.
David stood in front of the ice gate, watching Jiang Xuelan walk out.
Her face was slightly pale, but her eyes were bright, shining like stars in the night.
He was surrounded by ice-blue divine light, which was denser and purer than before.
“Did you succeed?” David asked.
Jiang Xuelan nodded. “It works.”
He didn’t say much, but David read a lot from his eyes.
Let’s go.
Jiang Xuelan turned around and looked at Bing Wuhen, Bing Xueer, and Bing Fenghan, “Back to the ancestral land, the bloodline of the Ice God should shine again.”
Bing Wuhen’s eyes turned red. “Palace Master, we have waited for this day for thousands of years.”
Bingxue cried.
Bing Fenghan did not speak, but his fists were tightly clenched.
The five people walked out of the ruins and stepped onto the ice plain.
