Chapter 1729: Leaving

Three Kui Water Warriors possessed a million catties of strength and could also cast water-element dao spells.

A tremendous tsunami roar echoed as the seawater surged, forming colossal waves over a hundred zhang high. The three Kui Water Warriors rapidly charged towards the Eight-Winged Snow Qilin Beast. Before they even got close, their arms moved in unison, and densely packed blue fist shadows shot forth with a whooshing sound.

The Eight-Winged Snow Qilin Beast let out a low roar, causing the void to tremble. Its four pairs of white fleshy wings flapped continuously, releasing streams of vast white frigid wind. Countless white snowflakes swept out, transforming into white ice cones that flew in all directions.

Boom! A tremendous roar resounded as the dense blue fist shadows collided with the white ice cones, both annihilating each other. At this moment, the three Kui Water Warriors had reached the Eight-Winged Snow Qilin Beast. They swung their fists, striking towards the Eight-Winged Snow Qilin Beast. The Eight-Winged Snow Qilin Beast's wings flashed wildly, and a wave of light blue frigid energy swept out. As the three Kui Water Warriors came into contact with the blue frigid energy, their bodies instantly froze, transforming into three enormous, motionless ice sculptures.

Heavy snow began to fall from high above, and the white snowflakes transformed into white ice cones, striking the bodies of the three Kui Water Warriors. The Kui Water Warriors shattered into pieces. The seawater rapidly swirled, generating a powerful current. The Eight-Winged Snow Qilin Beast's fur bristled, and large amounts of white snowflakes and white ice cones were sucked into the blue seawater by the powerful current, where they were pulverized.

The Eight-Winged Snow Qilin Beast let out a furious roar, and a vast white sound wave swept out. The seawater rapidly froze, then the ice layer tore open, and three Sea-Calming Beads flew backward. A dazzling white light illuminated its body, and it suddenly vanished.

"Ice Escape Technique! Be careful." Wang Changsheng's expression shifted slightly. Countless blue water vapor emerged around him, transforming into a vast ocean that protected the three of them.

Boom! A deafening roar resounded as the ice layer on the ground shattered, and the Eight-Winged Snow Qilin Beast burst out of the ice, appearing in the seawater. The powerful surging seawater crashed against its body as if merely tickling it. Countless blue frigid energy surged from the Eight-Winged Snow Qilin Beast's body, and the seawater froze at a visible rate. This time, the ice layer did not melt easily. Almost simultaneously with the Eight-Winged Snow Qilin Beast's appearance, an unbearable sharp pain surged through its sea of consciousness—a divine sense attack.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's divine sense and magic power could be stacked, but this naturally had a time limit. Currently, their stacked magic power could be maintained for the duration of one cup of tea. Casting this secret art itself consumed a large amount of magic power. Without considering the divine sense consumed by controlling magic treasures, they could cast divine sense attacks up to fifteen times. If divine sense consumed by controlling magic treasures was considered, they could cast them up to seven times in a single fight. The stronger their divine sense, the more times they could cast divine sense attacks, and the greater their power. They also consumed divine sense when casting divine sense attacks; it was not an unlimited use of this divine ability.

A dazzling fiery glow surged from Wang Ruyan's back, and the Thunderfire Wings instantly appeared. The Thunderfire Wings flapped violently, and a tremendous explosion resounded, as a large expanse of golden electric arcs and crimson flames swept out, striking the Eight-Winged Snow Qilin Beast. Rolling inferno engulfed the Eight-Winged Snow Qilin Beast's body, and the astonishing heat wave caused large amounts of snowflakes to turn into white mist.

Wang Changsheng flicked his wrist, and a Nethermoon Pearl shot out, striking towards the Eight-Winged Snow Qilin Beast. When the Nethermoon Pearl reached above the sea of fire, the sea of fire instantly churned violently and rapidly extinguished. The Eight-Winged Snow Qilin Beast then spewed out a vast white frigid energy, striking towards the Nethermoon Pearl. The Nethermoon Pearl froze at a visible rate, transforming into a white ice pearl.

"Crack!" With a muffled sound, the white ice pearl shattered into pieces, and a large amount of bone-chilling black liquid scattered—it was Nethermoon Water.

"Nethermoon Water!" the Eight-Winged Snow Qilin Beast exclaimed, its voice tinged with a hint of panic. Countless white frigid energy suddenly surged from its body, and its massive body instantly froze, turning into a giant white ice block. The Nethermoon Water sprinkled onto the white ice block, and a large expanse of black ice formed on the surface, rapidly spreading. An ear-piercing blade hum resounded, and densely packed blue blade qi descended from the sky, striking towards the black ice block.

Boom! With a loud bang, the black ice block shattered into pieces, and the Eight-Winged Snow Qilin Beast suddenly vanished. The ice layer a thousand zhang away suddenly shattered, and the Eight-Winged Snow Qilin Beast burst out of the ice. A hint of dread appeared in its eyes.

"You can actually collect Nethermoon Water for artifact refining? You are not cultivators from the Heavenly Vast Sect! Who exactly are you?!" The Eight-Winged Snow Qilin Beast's tone was grave. It was very clear about the properties of Nethermoon Water. If they were Heavenly Vast Sect cultivators, Nascent Soul stage cultivators could not possibly possess such a powerful weapon. And if they were trying to kill it, that was even more impossible; if they truly wanted to kill it, there wouldn't be just one Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

Wang Changsheng did not speak. He flipped his right hand, and two Nethermoon Pearls appeared in his hand. The Eight-Winged Snow Qilin Beast was proficient in ice-element divine abilities. In a place like the Buried Demon Ice Plain, it was difficult to even trap it, let alone kill it. No wonder the Heavenly Vast Sect cultivators suffered heavy losses; if it weren't for a powerful weapon like the Nethermoon Pearl, the Eight-Winged Snow Qilin Beast would have likely devoured them just now. With its powerful physical body, it was estimated that even a Sky-Treading Spiritual Treasure could not kill the Eight-Winged Snow Qilin Beast in one blow.

"Hmph, you don't even have a Sky-Treading Spiritual Treasure. Relying on a set of ordinary magic treasures, how could you be my opponent? Why don't you stay and be my servants? I will provide you with cultivation resources." The Eight-Winged Snow Qilin Beast's voice softened, making it sound very pleasant to the ear. For some reason, the thought of submitting to the Eight-Winged Snow Qilin Beast appeared in Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's minds, and they intended to stay and become its servants.

Just then, the Dragon-Phoenix Lock on their chests emitted dazzling spiritual light, and the sounds of dragon roars and phoenix cries intensified. Only then did the two of them regain their senses. "Enchantment spell!" A look of horror appeared in Wang Ruyan's phoenix eyes. The Eight-Winged Snow Qilin Beast actually knew such a peculiar divine ability, which was beyond their expectations.

A dazzling white light illuminated the Eight-Winged Snow Qilin Beast's body, and it suddenly vanished. Wang Changsheng fully unleashed his divine sense; however, his divine sense was somewhat restricted and unable to extend too far.

"This place is not suitable for a long stay. We should leave immediately," Wang Changsheng said gravely. He had not gained any advantage over the Eight-Winged Snow Qilin Beast. If it weren't for the powerful weapon like the Nethermoon Pearl, the Eight-Winged Snow Qilin Beast wouldn't have left so easily. As the Eight-Winged Snow Qilin Beast said, without a Sky-Treading Spiritual Treasure, it would be difficult for Wang Changsheng to kill this beast.

Three days later, Wang Changsheng and the other two returned to the snow mountain. Huang Fugui had already returned, and seeing Wang Changsheng and the two others return safely, he also let out a long sigh of relief. Wang Changsheng gathered his clansmen and solemnly declared, "There is a fifth-tier demonic beast here, proficient in ice-element divine abilities. We must leave this place immediately; we cannot stay here any longer."

The appearance of the fifth-tier Eight-Winged Snow Qilin Beast disrupted Wang Changsheng's plans. He did not fear the fifth-tier Eight-Winged Snow Qilin Beast, but his clansmen were no match for it. What if the Eight-Winged Snow Qilin Beast suddenly rushed out and ambushed Wang Ruyan and the others while Wang Changsheng was in secluded cultivation? The losses would undoubtedly be severe. Wang Qiuming and the others naturally had no objections and agreed.

Wang Changsheng and his group moved towards the exit. Several days later, they appeared near Fallen Immortal Lake. Wang Changsheng conjured the Azure Lotus Cauldron and collected a large amount of Nethermoon Water for future use. Since they were leaving this time, and it was uncertain if they could return, it was better to collect more Nethermoon Water. Wang Ruyan conjured the Flying Snow Boat and carried everyone towards the sky.
