Ch 326: Within The Extreme Realm
Li Hanzhou stepped onto the Ice Field, the ice beneath his feet emitting faint cracking sounds.
Looking around, the land was frozen for thousands of miles, with cold mist like an Azure Dragon coiling in the sky. The biting wind carried ice shards across his dark robe, yet they melted silently three inches from his body.
“This place is practically its own Heaven and Earth!”
Li Hanzhou’s figure moved, instantly traversing hundreds of meters.
He was sensing everything here.
The air was filled with Solemn Killing Aura.
This was merely the outer perimeter of the Ice Field. Here, one could occasionally hear the roars of demonic beasts, but no demonic beast traces were visible.
Li Hanzhou wasn’t here to hunt demonic beasts. He knew that the King of Northern Qi would most likely not be on the first level of the Extreme Domain; otherwise, the trial set for them would be meaningless.
To reach the lower levels, one needed to find the gate leading down.
On such a vast Ice Field, finding the gate to the lower levels was indeed no easy matter.
As he walked.
He saw some bones on the ground.
There was no flesh and blood left on them.
Only some skeletons remained.
There were at least a dozen of them in sight.
Some remaining clothing fragments could still be seen on their bones.
“Disciples of the Yellow River Sect.”
“And this is… from the Overlord Saber Sect.”
Li Hanzhou silently shook his head.
These should be the disciples who had previously come to the Extreme Domain Trial. They had encountered an attack shortly after arriving. Judging by the footprints on the ground, it should have been wolf-like demonic beasts.
Wolves are pack animals. Encountering them would indeed be very troublesome.
Fortunately, he didn’t see any clothing fragments from Longevity Temple disciples after checking around.
“I wonder what level they’re on now.”
Li Hanzhou activated his Divine Soul, sensing his surroundings, but found no trace of anyone.
They must have already left this level.
“Crack!”
At that moment, a sound of cracking ice came.
A hundred meters ahead, a ten-zhang-tall Ice Pillar suddenly burst.
Ice shards condensed into thousands of giant, azure wolves, each the size of a house. Saliva dripping from their fangs corroded deep pits into the ice surface. Blood-red flames flickered in the wolf pack’s eyes, and their low growls caused the Ice Field to tremble.
“Awooo!”
The leading wolf king howled at the sky, and the ice layer surged up in a hundred-zhang-high wave. Countless ice cones poured down like a Downpour, their tips glowing with a deadly, deep green poison, hurtling towards Li Hanzhou.
“Ice Field Poison Wolves?”
A radiance flashed in Li Hanzhou’s hand, and the Cold Sparrow Sword appeared in his palm. He pushed the sword guard half an inch with his thumb.
“Clang!”
The sword hummed like a dragon’s roar reaching the heavens. A bright Sword Light pierced Heaven and Earth, silently extinguishing the ice waves wherever it passed. Before the wolf pack could reach him, they turned into countless Ice Crystals that fell like rain. The residual Sword Qi’s momentum was undiminished, tearing a ten-li-long chasm in the Ice Field, revealing the boiling, red-hot magma below.
That seemingly ordinary swing of his sword had slain hundreds of Ice Field Poison Wolves. This startled the remaining wolves, leaving behind a field of corpses before they panicked and fled.
Some Ice Field Poison Wolves even burrowed into the Ice Field and disappeared.
Their speed was astonishing.
Li Hanzhou didn’t chase them. These Ice Field Poison Wolves posed no threat to him. Their strength was equivalent to the Fifth Rank Realm, and even the wolf king was only at the Seventh Rank Realm.
Gradually, Li Hanzhou’s figure also disappeared into the wind and snow.
Three days later.
The King of Northern Qi’s other sons also arrived at the Eastern Imperial Palace.
Each brought ten guards.
And the weakest among these guards were at the Transcendent Realm.
Each person’s guards included more than one Heavenly Gang Realm Expert.
Even so, they had expended great effort and nearly depleted their fortunes to hire them, because Heavenly Gang Realm guards were very expensive.
Otherwise, they would have preferred to hire a Sword Immortal to protect them.
When everyone arrived at the Eastern Imperial Palace, they felt frightened.
The atmosphere here made them very uncomfortable.
But the six of them looked at each other, their gazes filled with unwillingness, defiance, and intense hostility.
If this weren’t the Eastern Imperial Palace, they would have fought right there.
“Seventh didn’t come.”
At this moment, Boss Xiao Xin looked around and indeed didn’t see Li Hanzhou’s figure.
“With Seventh’s personality, would he dare to come?” The others couldn’t help but laugh mockingly, as they all knew how incompetent their Seventh Brother was.
Forget the Eastern Imperial Palace.
He would probably have his legs go weak and wet his pants before even reaching the gate.
The others also laughed heartily, except for Xiao Wenxin in the crowd.
Xiao Wenxin merely observed coldly, secretly cursing them as fools.
If they truly believed Seventh was still the same as before, they were in for a huge loss.
But Xiao Wenxin was also curious. Why hadn’t he seen Li Hanzhou yet? Had he not arrived yet?
“Young Master Xiao Han entered the Extreme Domain three days ago.”
At that moment, the youth who had brought Li Hanzhou here walked over, glancing at everyone.
His gaze remained indifferent.
For some reason, although these people all possessed Transcendent Realm cultivation, in the youth’s eyes, they couldn’t compare to Li Hanzhou at all.
Their demeanor alone was incomparable.
“What, Seventh has already gone in?”
Everyone was incredulous, especially since it had been three days.
How could that be so fast?
“How many people did Seventh take in?”
Xiao Xin hurriedly asked.
“He went in alone.”
The youth replied.
“Ah?”
Hearing that Li Hanzhou had gone in alone, the others’ expressions were rather strange.
Why go in alone?
Was he looking to die?
Didn’t they know it was the Extreme Domain?
Only Xiao Wenxin felt anxious now, because he knew Li Hanzhou’s strength had inexplicably become incredibly strong. Going in alone, he was more likely to find the King of Northern Qi.
“He must be dead inside by now, huh?”
Someone sneered.
“Please lead the way.” Xiao Wenxin had no time to waste with them. He felt a tremendous sense of crisis.
Meanwhile, in the Extreme Domain, within three days, Li Hanzhou had crossed the Ice Field and finally found the path to the Second Level in a dead tree.
He had entered the Second Level a day ago.
And in the one day on the Second Level, Li Hanzhou had seen many Human Race corpses.
“It seems most of them should be on this Second Level.”
Li Hanzhou guessed.
The demonic beasts on this Second Level of the Extreme Domain had already reached the Ninth Rank Realm.
It was very suitable for most people to train here.
