Chapter 1735: Return to Xuanming, Abnormal Ice Demons – 2
To completely suppress the ice disaster, there was no other way but to take risks, and Shen Ruyan led the way.
Under her leadership, they had fought their way from the Ninth Heaven into the valley, slaying countless ice demons along the way.
However, the deeper they ventured into this place of dense Yin energy, the more terrifying the ice demons became. It was as if no matter how many they killed, more would keep rising, even resurrecting in the cold air.
As time passed, even Shen Ruyan, a Celestial Immortal, began to feel immense pressure. Some of the ice demons were unusually powerful, with combat strength comparable to that of Celestial Immortals!
“Ten Thousand Realms Palm!”
Carrying the brilliance of a vast Heaven, Shen Ruyan once again channeled her heavenly origin power, summoning a thunderstorm. Numerous planar visions appeared around her as the strength of her mid-stage Celestial Immortal power manifested!
In the next moment, she struck with a palm, and the entire world was shaken, as if on the verge of collapse. Ten thousand visions surged forward, shattering the strange calamity rules in the void, suppressing the dense swarm of ice demons!
“Boom—!”
This was an ancient Celestial Immortal technique, with immense power. The ice demons surrounding them were crushed, scattering like ice shards as they were sent flying by the force.
“Roar—!”
However, amidst the chaotic turbulence, a furious roar was heard as another ice demon broke free. Its face was twisted in rage, and it had a massive tiger head growing from its human body. In its hand, it wielded a gigantic black ice hammer, inscribed with strange runes, and it collided with Shen Ruyan's divine attack.
This instantly created bursts of black mist, sending forth a dark, deep torrent of energy!
“Boom—!”
In the blink of an eye, another tremendous crash echoed. The black ice hammer cleaved through the void, directly intercepting Shen Ruyan's divine attack, forcing her power back.
The ice demon was sent staggering back several feet, its breath fluctuating slightly. Clearly, blocking the Celestial Immortal's power was a challenge, but it was far from impossible for the tiger-headed ice demon.
“Roar—!”
Before Shen Ruyan and the others could act, another furious roar rang out in the distance. Suddenly, the massive storm behind them twisted and exploded, sending large chunks of ice rain flying.
With an overwhelming surge of demonic energy, another enormous black figure emerged, wielding two black ice blades like a whirlwind of darkness, slashing directly at Yuanhan and the other Earth Immortal elders!
This strike came at lightning speed, and even Shen Ruyan couldn't react in time. Within moments, Yuanhan and the others had prepared and summoned their immortal treasures, retaliating against the approaching shadow.
Their combined forces created a thick mist of spiritual energy, pulling in various Daoist laws from all directions to suppress the attacking shadow.
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
In an instant, the violent immortal energy erupted, tearing apart the void and creating shocking aftershocks. Under the joint assault of Yuanhan and the others, the shadow's true form finally became clear.
The creature was a grotesque, towering humanoid with a vicious snake head growing from its neck. It had numerous growths all over its body, and its vertical pupils gleamed with evil, demonic energy. The air around it was thick with malevolent power.
This tiger-headed ice demon and the snake-headed ice demon were the most formidable obstacles they had encountered in Jieyuan Valley. Both had Celestial Immortal-level strength and were empowered by extreme cold storms and Yin energy. Even Shen Ruyan could not defeat them, and Yuanhan and the others were struggling in battle.
As the surrounding ice disaster and the endless waves of ice demons continued to worsen, they found themselves trapped, unable to advance or retreat.
“Thunderstrike Power!”
Amidst this chaos, Shen Ruyan unleashed the terrifying power of lightning once again. This power, derived from the Thunderstrike Calamity, was a Daoist law she had acquired.
Under Shen Ruyan's control, this power manifested as lifelike thunder visions that transformed into massive thunder bamboos. Within them was the force of primordial symbols, which struck fear into the two monstrous ice demons.
Instantly, the thunder bamboos turned into countless thunder arrows, sweeping through the area and clearing out everything in their path. Even the ice disaster was temporarily suppressed!
Where the thunder passed, ordinary ice demons were shattered, their bodies exploding into fragments. Even the two abnormal ice demons dared not face this power directly and retreated rapidly, unable to withstand it.
Thanks to this power, the group was momentarily safe from the ice disaster.
However, just as this triumph seemed to provide relief, something unexpected happened.
The two monstrous ice demons, from some unknown source, summoned two massive blocks of black ice. As the Thunderstrike power struck them, something strange occurred. They were influenced by some otherworldly law, and the thunder lost control, transforming into terrifying bolts of lightning that surged off in unknown directions.
This had happened several times before in the depths of Jieyuan Valley. Each back-and-forth struggle made it even harder for Shen Ruyan to overcome these creatures, leaving her trapped in a difficult situation.
“Dammit! It's this black ice again!” Yuanhan and the other Earth Immortal elders cursed in frustration.
Having penetrated the ice demons' lair, their actions were becoming increasingly ineffective. After several battles, they had only been able to shield Shen Ruyan from danger and clear out a few of the weaker ice demons.
At this point, they had grown anxious, feeling helpless in the face of the growing crisis. They couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness, their efforts falling short.
Shen Ruyan's expression darkened as well. Time spent in Jieyuan Valley had far exceeded her expectations, and now she had to consider retreating.
After all, it was not possible to waste any more time here, and her confidence in the outside world had dwindled.
Yet, if they couldn't suppress even one ice disaster, it would certainly trigger panic across all factions.
The entire Xuanming Immortal Realm would descend into terror and despair, which was something she couldn't allow.
“What should I do…” Shen Ruyan thought, feeling increasingly unsure of herself.
It seemed like this situation was beyond her control.
In times like this, she couldn't help but think of her husband—if he were here, how would he handle this?
“Sigh… Perhaps it's time to retreat.”
“Regardless of what the situation is, I cannot let Yuanhan and the others stay here in danger.”
Looking at the increasingly fatigued Earth Immortal elders behind her, Shen Ruyan was forced to make a difficult decision. No matter what, the safety of her loved ones had to come first.
At once, she released a burst of Celestial Immortal power, driving away the surrounding ice demons and signaling Yuanhan and the others to prepare for a retreat.
But just as she was about to issue the command, a sudden change occurred!
“Boom—!”
In an instant, a brilliant beam of Xuan light erupted from the Ninth Heaven above, crashing into Jieyuan Valley.
The terrifying power swept aside the demonic mists and the cold storms, cleaving through the massive storm with incredible speed and force!
With a deafening roar, Shen Ruyan and the others were stunned and uncertain, as the overwhelming shockwave sent ice demons flying, turning them into ice fragments.
“Buzz—!”
In that moment, the dark storm covering Jieyuan Valley was split apart, and the sky above them seemed to clear for a brief moment.
“Hiss— What's happening?!”
“What's that sound? So terrifying! Could it be another disaster?”
At once, the immortals observing the battle in Jieyuan Valley were struck with shock and awe, staring wide-eyed at the unexpected turn of events.
This sudden occurrence left everyone in disbelief, and none could predict or prepare for it.
“What's going on…?”
“What kind of power is that? It's breaking through the storm! Hiss—”
Even Yuanhan and the others, deep within the heart of the storm, were confused and helpless, unsure of how to respond to this intense, unforeseen shift.
Among them, only Shen Ruyan was initially stunned, but then her beautiful eyes trembled as she seemed to sense something.
