Chapter 2827: Encountered Attack

They carefully inspected the estate. All the other spiritual herbs in the spiritual fields had withered, and the other spiritual fruit trees had died. Obtaining the Dream-Parting Fruit and the Heavenly Soul Fruit was already a significant gain.

Wang Liangyan summoned a red-glowing flying boat, and they all boarded it.

She cast a spell, and the red flying boat glowed with dazzling red light as it ascended into the sky.

The red flying boat had not traveled far when a jarring roar echoed. Wang Liangyan and the other two felt their blood surge, and to their horror, discovered they could not conjure even a wisp of spiritual power.

As space rippled, a massive white beast claw materialized out of thin air and swiped towards them.

The void filled with numerous white ice shards, which then coalesced into several ten-foot-long white ice swords, slashing at Wang Liangyan and her companions.

The red jade lock on Wang Liangyan's chest glowed with dazzling red light, and a thick red light barrier instantly materialized, enveloping all three of them.

The white beast claw struck the red barrier with a dull thud, causing it to shimmer slightly. The dense white ice swords then impacted the barrier, yet it remained completely unyielding.

A beam of white light shot up from the ground and struck the red barrier, which visibly froze and transformed into a white ice shield. A long white tongue then lashed out, striking the ice shield, which, like paper, was effortlessly pierced by the tongue.

The white tongue shot directly towards Wang Liangyan's head, seemingly intent on crushing it.

At that moment, Wang Liangyan and her companions regained their ability to wield spiritual power.

Wang Liangyan opened her mouth and unleashed a beam of red light, blocking the white tongue.

The white tongue abruptly curved and struck Wang Mofei's chest, sending him plummeting towards the ground like a broken kite.

Before he could even land, a white beam of light shot towards him.

Just as Wang Mofei was about to dodge, a disruptive roar echoed, causing his blood to surge within him, rendering him unable to move even a sliver of spiritual power.

The white light struck Wang Mofei's body, which instantly froze and transformed into a white ice sculpture.

The white tongue then swept across, shattering the ice sculpture into countless fragments of blood and flesh.

Cultivators are allowed to possess another body or reshape their own physical form only once in a lifetime. Wang Mofei had already reshaped his body once, making further possession impossible. This time, he had truly perished.

A flash of white light revealed a gleaming white miniature pagoda, which materialized out of thin air. As countless runes illuminated its structure, it rapidly expanded, exuding an astonishing chill that caused numerous white ice shards to appear in the void.

The colossal white pagoda then unleashed a sheet of white light, engulfing Wang Liangyan and Wang Lihe.

Wang Lihe shrugged his shoulders, and four blue flying swords shot from his sword scabbard, circling him. As countless blue waters surged forth, the four swords transformed into four massive water spouts that ascended, tearing the white light into shreds.

The four water spouts then converged into a single, towering blue spear, which impaled and hurled the colossal white pagoda away.

Wang Liangyan also reacted, raising her right hand. A shimmering golden metal orb flew forth, and with a cast spell, it transformed into a massive golden ape puppet, over a hundred zhang tall, glowing with brilliant gold.

This was a Rank 6 puppet beast. As a Rank 6 Artifact Master, she had collaborated with several other artifact masters to craft this puppet, and it was her personal property.

The moment the giant ape puppet appeared, its lower jaw opened, unleashing countless fine golden beams that shot directly towards a specific mountain peak.

A thunderous roar followed as the mountain peak shattered, sending smoke and dust billowing into the sky.

A figure emerged from the dust cloud: True Monarch Ice Toad, mounted on a massive white toad with pure white eyes.

Wang Lihe's expression darkened. They were all at the early Void Refinement stage, whereas True Monarch Ice Toad was at the late Void Refinement stage and possessed a Rank 6 low-grade spirit beast. They were clearly no match.

The moment True Monarch Ice Toad appeared, he chanted a spell, causing his body to blaze with white light. A gigantic, illusory young figure manifested above his head, its lower half shimmering with dazzling white light, indicating his Dharma Idol was nearly half-condensed.

The illusory young figure raised its arms high, instantly conjuring a biting cold wind. Countless white snowflakes descended, blurring as they transformed into several ten-foot-long ice spears that shot directly towards Wang Liangyan and Wang Lihe.

The white toad also summoned its Dharma Idol, attacking them.

"We are no match. I will cover you, retreat quickly!"

Wang Lihe shook his sleeve, gathered Wang Mofei's belongings, and urgently transmitted a message.

At that moment, someone had to cover their retreat; a desperate fight would mean all of them would perish here.

Wang Liangyan's expression grew grim. She raised her right hand, and a beam of golden light shot forth and vanished.

Ripples appeared in the void above True Monarch Ice Toad's head, and a shimmering golden orb materialized.

The golden orb was covered in intricate spiritual patterns and emanated a wild, turbulent aura.

True Monarch Ice Toad swiftly activated his Dharma Idol. The illusory young figure blasted a white light that struck the golden orb, instantly freezing it into a white ice pearl.

A blinding golden light surged skyward, followed by a wave of golden flames that engulfed an area of several dozen miles, sending shockwaves through the air like a tide.

Seizing this opportune moment, Wang Liangyan recalled her puppet beast. She then cast a spell, causing the red flying boat to glow intensely before it transformed into a streak of red light and shot through the air, heading east.

Wang Lihe uttered a sword incantation, and his four blue flying swords instantly merged into a colossal, hazy blue sword that seemed to pierce the heavens. His body dissolved into the giant sword, causing its radiance to intensify.

A man-and-sword fusion!

The towering sword transformed into a long blue rainbow and shot westward, in a completely different direction. While they were no match for True Monarch Ice Toad, given the vast disparity in strength, if they focused solely on escape, he would not be able to easily catch them.

A blinding white light erupted from within the golden flames, which then flickered wildly and died down. True Monarch Ice Toad emerged, covered in soot, but unharmed.

"Hmph, trying to escape? Not a chance."

True Monarch Ice Toad dispelled his Dharma Idol, put away the white ice toad, and transformed into a white rainbow, giving chase to Wang Lihe.

Capturing Wang Liangyan would not be easy, as she possessed a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure for flight and a Rank 6 puppet beast. Wang Lihe, however, was fleeing using the secret art of Man-Sword Fusion, which severely depleted his spiritual power. Given this comparison, True Monarch Ice Toad naturally chose to pursue Wang Lihe.

They arrived at a vast forest, where towering trees stretched as far as the eye could see.

Wang Qingxiao, Wang Chan, Wang Chan, and Wang Yingjie hovered above the forest. The Double-Pupiled Rat rested on Wang Chan's shoulder, its eyes glowing with dazzling spiritual light.

"Thirty-thousand-year-old Dragon Transformation Grass, a Rank 6 high-grade Ice Flood Dragon."

The Double-Pupiled Rat spoke in human tongue, its voice filled with excitement.

Dragon Transformation Grass is used to refine Dragon Transformation Pills, which aid flood dragons in their advancement. The older the grass, the more potent the resulting pill.

"What? Thirty-thousand-year-old Dragon Transformation Grass! A Rank 6 high-grade Ice Flood Dragon!"

Wang Qingxiao's breathing grew heavy. The Wang family had long been collecting Dragon Transformation Grass to cultivate flood dragons, but they had only managed to acquire specimens over ten thousand years old, never a single one that was twenty thousand years old.

He had never imagined encountering a Rank 6 high-grade Ice Flood Dragon and thirty-thousand-year-old Dragon Transformation Grass in this place.
