C796 Ice Break
Fortunately, they were not too far from the ice, and with their timely retreat, they managed to retreat after losing three comrades.
For some reason, after they had retreated back to the ice, the pack of direwolves did not chase after them. Instead, they kept staring at them like tigers stalking their prey, refusing to leave.
"This layer of ice seems to have a special power that prevents them from approaching it." Someone noticed this and immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
The others also relaxed, and when they saw that their three companions had been torn to shreds, they couldn't help but silently mourn.
At the same time, at a place they did not notice, a figure appeared before the ice.
Ding Yi arrived at the northern border. He looked at the ice layer in front of him and took a deep breath. Feeling the surrounding cold air, he walked towards it.
As soon as he stepped into the layer of ice, a special chill entered his body through the pores of his body.
Fortunately, Ding Yi had mastered the Armored Gate technique. At this moment, his body was glowing with a red light and there were faint marks of scales on his skin. If one didn't look carefully, one wouldn't even notice that Ding Yi was covered with a layer of scales.
With the scale armor offsetting him, the chill immediately dissipated. Ding Yi no longer hesitated and walked towards the ice cave in his memory.
The Ice Element here could cause chronic damage to his body, so he had to finish this battle quickly. If he stayed here for too long, even if he had a body comparable to a nascent soul, he would not be able to take it.
Luckily, Ding Yi was fast enough and there was no life here. Without any obstruction, Ding Yi arrived in front of the ice cave.
After a short pause, Ding Yi jumped down from the entrance of the ice cave.
Within the time of two breaths, he saw two figures that were frozen into statues not far from the exit of the icy cave.
"Open!" Without any hesitation, Ding Yi attacked, wanting to break this layer of ice.
To his surprise, even though he had reached the Nascent Soul Stage, he could not do anything to the layer of ice. Even if he used the power of the Blue Longsword, he could not cause enough damage to it.
Looking at the white marks on the ice, Ding Yi went on a rampage. Was there still no way to save his real body?
At this time, he suddenly saw the Blue Lantern that had fallen to the ground. After pondering for a while, he bent down and picked it up.
He did not know if the Blue Lantern could cause any substantial damage to the ice layer, but it was normal for the Longsword formed from the Spirit Root Fruit to be unable to cause any harm since it was not solid.
"Open for me!" Ding Yi used the power in his body and channeled it into the Blue Lantern, slashing towards the ice layer.
Bang! The Blue Lantern truly fell onto the ice layer. Because he had Wen Yi's branding, Ding Yi was unable to borrow the Blue Lantern well, but his strength still forced the Blue Lantern's sword blade to emit a cold cyan glow.
In the next moment, there was a crisp sound, and tiny cracks appearing on the layer of ice that covered his body.
Cracking sounds could be heard as the number of cracks increased. Soon, the cracks covered his entire body.
Another explosion. This time, the layer of ice covering him finally could not withstand the pressure and exploded.
Ding Yi's real body escaped and he opened his calm and deep eyes.
On the other side, along with the explosion of the ice layer on Ding Yi's body, the cracks were still spreading and quickly spreading to Wen Yi.
Not long after, the ice layer on Wen Yi's body exploded as well. Wen Yi escaped from the trap. He opened his eyes and saw two people. With a glance, he noticed that inside Xie Ji's body was Ding Yi's soul.
"It seems your clone awakened memories first." Wen Yi looked at Ding Yi and smiled.
Looking at the crack that slowly appeared on the ground, he said, "Something's not right, I only cut through the layer of ice on our bodies, but the layer of ice beneath our feet is constantly collapsing. If this goes on, it might cause the entire layer of ice to collapse."
This layer of ice, which had spread for over a thousand miles, was currently used to obstruct the Northern Realm. If this layer of ice were to collapse, it was likely that the people from the Northern Realm would instantly rush out and turn this area into a purgatory in the human realm.
"Let's go out first." The body refinement avatar opened its mouth and took the lead to rush out.
Hearing this, Ding Yi and Wen Yi immediately rushed outside. No matter what, they had to leave this ice cave first.1
Coming out of the ice cave, Ding Yi immediately said, "We can't just leave like this, let's go over there and take a look."
Saying that, Ding Yi pointed to the Northern Realm side and took the lead to walk towards there.
Hearing that, the Refining Body clone threw the Blue Lantern towards Wen Yi, and then quickly walked forward and clashed with Ding Yi's main body, slowly overlapping and temporarily becoming one.
Wen Yi took the Blue Lantern and shook his head helplessly as he quickly followed.
At this moment, along with the appearance of tiny cracks on the ice, the direwolves that had been hesitant to go forward sensed something and started to slowly move towards them, looking restless.
The few of them had just relaxed when they noticed the abnormality of the direwolves. In the distance, the figures of a few other ice direwolves could be seen, all of them approaching the layer of ice.
"What … what is going on?" One of them couldn't help but take half a step back.
Before anyone could reply, that person suddenly pointed to the front and shouted: "Quick, quickly look at what is that?!"
Once those words left his mouth, it immediately attracted the gazes of the crowd. However, when their gazes landed on the direction that that the person pointed to, all of their expressions changed greatly, and they revealed expressions of incomparable shock.
From the horizon, a huge silhouette flew over.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a humanoid beast more than a dozen meters tall. It had ice crystal wings on its back and sharp claws on its feet, like those of tigers.
His upper body resembled a human, and his hands were no different from a human's. It was just that his appearance was even more ferocious.
What was most disturbing was that this humanoid beast had a snake-like tail on his back. At the top of the tail was a huge white snake head. Its two dark green eyes stared at the few people inside the ice layer.
"The smell of strangers." The humanoid beast dropped to the ground. Looking at the ice, he couldn't help but laugh. "Hahaha, the seal was only formed a short while ago and was broken from the inside. God help me!"
"Those bastards of Capital City, you actually dares to swindle me. Prepare to die!" After he finished speaking, he suddenly opened his arms and spread the wings on his back. A snow-white shining broadsword appeared in his hands as he fiercely slashed downwards!
"Whiz!" A saber light that spanned across the sky appeared out of nowhere and slashed towards the layer of ice.
Those people had horrified expressions on their faces. However, they seemed weak and helpless in the face of this huge blade light. They didn't even have the chance to run before they were enveloped by the blade light.
Seeing that the few of them were about to be overwhelmed by the saber light, they even subconsciously blocked their eyes. Just as their hearts were filled with despair, an invisible barrier suddenly appeared at the edge of the layer of ice.
Boom!" A huge boom reverberated in the air. The invisible barrier actually managed to block the blade light.
