Chapter 330: Giant Whale Inner Core

Wushuang nodded gravely. "That's possible! But so far, no one has been able to clearly explain the specific reasons."

"Oh, there's something I need to mention beforehand," Wushuang said. "The Ice Snow Divine Dynasty isn't very friendly towards people from our Divine Kingdom or the Flame Kingdom. They seem to dislike being disturbed by outsiders. If we go there rashly, they might issue a banishment order. It would be best to find a suitable excuse so we can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble."

What Wushuang said indeed reminded Xu Yang; it was the only oversight in his current plan.

Such an incredibly mysterious isolated island in the sea certainly wouldn't be easy to gain access to.

"My goodness... do we need to bring tribute to visit them?" Long Kun asked, spreading his hands helplessly. "But we came in a hurry, completely unprepared! Besides, with just a few of us stragglers, what valuable things could we possibly bring?"

Long Kun threw up his hands in resignation, but there was some truth to his words. If it came down to wealth, none of them could offer anything that would impress those people.

"You don't understand," Ling Yao said. "For a secluded place like the Ice Snow Divine Dynasty, their preferences are certainly different from worldly people. A gift that moves them isn't necessarily a valuable one. Think about what we can easily obtain, but they have difficulty accessing!"

Ling Yao's suggestion was insightful, but it presented an even more challenging problem for everyone to solve.

"Could it be... fire?" Ling Qingshu suggested. "It snows all year round in the Ice Snow Divine Dynasty, so fire must be what they desire most!"

Her words were met with everyone's helpless mockery.

"Silly girl," someone retorted, "if, as people of the Ice Snow Divine Dynasty, they rejected ice and snow to worship fire, then what would be the meaning of their existence? More importantly, if what you said were true, they would definitely try to curry favor with the Flame Kingdom! But the opposite is true, proving that the Ice Snow Divine Dynasty doesn't value fire; they take pride in their own power of ice and snow."

Three more days passed quickly. The group could faintly see an isolated island in the boundless sea. Even from thousands of miles away, it was covered in a pristine blanket of white, evoking great anticipation.

"I think I know what kind of gift we should give them!"

Xu Yang smiled, a brilliant light radiating from his eyes.

"Since they take pride in ice and snow," Xu Yang explained, "then the core of a magical beast with ice-related attributes must be their most cherished treasure! If we just capture an ice-attributed magical beast in this boundless sea, wouldn't it be easy to get that 'stepping stone'?"

Wushuang smiled radiantly. "As expected, you're the soul of this team. That answer is very satisfying."

Everyone else looked excited as well.

Soon, a thin layer of frost had formed on the outside of their vehicle, and the air temperature had dropped considerably.

With this idea in mind, Xu Yang eagerly rushed out of the vehicle and flew close to the surface of the boundless sea, searching for powerful marine magical beasts whose essence was ice and snow.

"Do you have any specific suggestions regarding this, Princess?"

Seeing Wushuang fly out with him, Xu Yang couldn't resist teasing her.

"It's been over ten years since I last came here," Wushuang replied. "According to the strongest members of the royal family, there should be a colony of ice-attributed magical beasts living beneath this island, which creates this unique environment. Simply flying like this probably won't be effective for capturing an ice-attributed marine magical beast."

Xu Yang's eyes lit up with inspiration. "So, you mean we need to make some noise?"

Upon receiving Wushuang's affirmative response, Xu Yang didn't hesitate further. He clasped his palms together and unleashed an incredibly violent surge of Asura power towards the vast, turbulent sea.

Feeling the immense surge of power from Xu Yang, Wushuang's eyes flashed with a complex blend of astonishment and awe—a shock that seemed difficult to express with a single emotion.

Undoubtedly, throughout the entire fantasy world, very few could truly match Xu Yang in terms of divine power intensity.

Boom!

Suddenly, a massive head slowly emerged from the sea.

For safety, Xu Yang and Wushuang elevated themselves slightly, maintaining a relatively safe distance from the enormous creature, observing it with wary expressions.

"Outsiders, do you intend to land in the Ice Snow Divine Dynasty? Your presence does not seem welcome here."

This magical beast could actually speak human language! While this wasn't surprising for Xu Yang, as his own Dragon Python companion and the Taotie could do the same, encountering it in the boundless sea of the fantasy world still shocked him.

"It's a Frost-Eyed Orca! A top-tier ice-attributed marine beast. Our luck seems to be very good."

Wushuang appeared delighted, showing no concern at all about the creature's potentially hidden power. It was as if, the moment they saw its existence, its fate was already sealed.

This was an instinct perhaps only possessed by those who stood at the pinnacle of the world...

"Hmph, I kindly warned you to leave, yet you harbor such intentions. Then don't blame me for bestowing upon you the misfortune of judgment!"

Roar! The enormous Frost-Eyed Orca opened its gaping maw and let out an incredibly ferocious roar into the void.

In an instant, all the seawater it spewed from its mouth rapidly froze as it shot upwards.

"Watch out!"

Xu Yang was clearly unprepared. When he saw Wushuang was in danger of being attacked, he instinctively rushed in front of her, using his formidable physical body to block the further transmission of the force.

Boom! The power of ice crystals enveloped Xu Yang, but it was effortlessly dissolved by the formidable Asura power within his body.

Ever since Xu Yang emerged from seclusion, he had swept through opponents wherever he went on the continent. No one had been able to gain even the slightest advantage against him, and this Frost-Eyed Orca before him would naturally be no exception.

Boom!

With the ice shards completely shattered from his body, Xu Yang once again grasped the Asura Divine Sword and charged towards the surface of the colossal orca's body.

"It seems you've been living too comfortably here," Xu Yang said calmly. "No one who has dared to attack us is still alive in this world."

Xu Yang spoke calmly, but it seemed he was merely stating a fact.

Whoosh! The light around him instantly doubled in intensity, a black aura completely enveloping Xu Yang. He then dove downwards, shattering all frozen barriers in the void as he passed.

Thud!

The ferocious Asura Divine Sword was unstoppable. With just this burst of sword energy, its sharp blade pierced into the head of the Frost-Eyed Orca.

Roar!
