Chapter 960 - 958: Xiaoyu’s Inheritance
Immediately, a surge of Cold Ice Qi rushed into her body, causing Lu Xiaoyu to feel an unprecedented chill.
Typically, cold reaches a certain limit, leading to numbness and fainting.
However, Lu Xiaoyu didn’t have a limit to the cold; she wouldn’t go numb, nor would she faint. Instead, waves of pain overwhelmed her body and mind, the continuous cold making her shiver again and again.
This kind of pain was a hundred times, a thousand times more unbearable than death.
"Chen Tianlong, you have to hold on. Even if Xiaoyu suffers more, she will ensure you live well." Lu Xiaoyu gritted her teeth, each time approaching the brink of collapse.
Time passed slowly, while Chen Tianlong’s freezing became more severe, though his Heart Method continued operating. Chen Tianlong had already entered a state of unconsciousness.
"Old Yue, are you there? Come out quickly. My body is frozen now, I can’t move at all. What should I do?" At this moment, Chen Tianlong could only think of Yue Xiaoyao; no one else could save him in this situation.
"Sigh... so noisy, can’t a person get some sleep? Who told you to walk straight into the Land of Extreme Cold, and now you know you were wrong." Yue Xiaoyao was quite annoyed. Despite having a clear path, you deliberately ran to the source of the Land of Extreme Cold.
"Oh, I was just curious, and now I’m frozen. Hurry and find a way for me to escape the central area. It seems only the center of the round platform is frozen; other places should be fine."
Chen Tianlong explained, following this freezing rate, I can only hold on for an hour at most before dying.
"Hmph, you deserve it!"
Yue Xiaoyao didn’t really want to deal with Chen Tianlong, but thinking about it, this boy was his only hope for possession, and although he was angry, he couldn’t just ignore it. If Chen Tianlong really died, he would also be doomed.
Thus, Yue Xiaoyao started looking outwards. Chen Tianlong couldn’t afford to use any Powerful Qi or physical strength, so he dared not use the X-ray vision function lightly.
Now he had shut down all sensory functions that could consume Powerful Qi and physical strength, fully entering an extreme operation state, thus entering a dormant state.
"Alright, you’re fine now."
Old Dong, after watching for a while, smiled slightly, and probably understood the situation.
"Huh? What do you mean, what do you mean I’m fine? I’m about to die, and you say I’m fine?" Chen Tianlong rolled his eyes at Yue Xiaoyao.
"See for yourself, outside there’s a girl trying hard to save you, and she’s probably the only one who can save you now. Alright, I’m done talking, I’m off to sleep." Yue Xiaoyao finished, then vanished with a flicker.
"Hey, Yue Xiaoyao, don’t run, I have something to ask you, what girl..."
But before Chen Tianlong could finish speaking, Yue Xiaoyao had vanished without a trace, or rather, he had gone to sleep, not wanting to deal with Chen Tianlong any further.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Tianlong planned to try looking outside when he could, to see what this girl was doing to help him.
However, right now, it was impossible to see. The Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique could only restore enough physical strength and Powerful Qi to maintain the body’s extreme cold and heat balance.
Though Chen Tianlong in his dormant state couldn’t feel anything, his surface was shivering with cold, while a thick layer of ice formed on the exterior.
At this freezing rate, it wouldn’t be long before Chen Tianlong would suffocate and die.
Lu Xiaoyu endured the constant invasion of cold air and the pain of ice piercing her heart every moment, yet her strong belief to save Chen Tianlong turned her pain into strength.
As her Ice Soul Primordial Spirit gradually activated, the pain lessened, while the surrounding cold source kept channeling cold air into Lu Xiaoyu, who absorbed it all like a bottomless pit.
About half an hour later, Shen Yan realized something was wrong. She thought about it and decided to move forward. By the time she reached the entrance, her hands and feet were numb, and she could barely move, only able to stand at the door, looking from a distance.
Upon seeing Lu Xiaoyu mid-air inside the cave, continuously invaded by waves of cold air, while icy spikes kept forming around her, she saw every inch of Lu Xiaoyu was pierced by ice spikes, resembling a porcupine.
Lu Xiaoyu was covered in blood, and Shen Yan’s tears couldn’t stop flowing.
She thought Lu Xiaoyu was dead since Lu Xiaoyu didn’t move, except for her body rotating in the air, resembling a corpse.
"Xiaoyu..."
Shen Yan couldn’t help but call out, and at this moment, Chen Tianlong seemed to hear Shen Yan’s cries. Moreover, he felt the temperature at the round platform’s center begin to rise, instantly filling him with joy.
With great effort, Chen Tianlong gathered some extra Powerful Qi and physical strength and quickly used his X-ray vision, immediately dumbfounded.
Because above him, Lu Xiaoyu was pierced by countless spikes, with the surrounding Cold Ice Qi continuously surging into her body.
"Xiaoyu..."
Chen Tianlong couldn’t help but shout, ignoring his own balance. The heart-wrenching pain made him forget the taste of death.
He couldn’t let Lu Xiaoyu die; absolutely not!
But the moment he used physical strength, the Cold Ice Qi took advantage, occupying most of his meridians and throwing his body off balance, with a surge of Cold Ice Qi charging into his Dantian.
The Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique nearly came to an abrupt halt.
Chen Tianlong knew all too well what stopping the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique meant: death!
Taking a deep breath, Chen Tianlong adjusted again, conserving energy. He couldn’t die; if he died, Shen Yan and Lu Xiaoyu would definitely perish here as well. Therefore, he had to figure something out.
Seeing Lu Xiaoyu’s situation, Shen Yan rushed into the Extreme Cold Domain, and in that instant, her legs started stiffening, unable to move.
The Divine Dog noticed and transformed again, continuously channeling Powerful Qi through its paws into Shen Yan. Otherwise, Shen Yan might not survive until dawn.
Two hours quickly passed; it was 2 a.m. Chen Tianlong distinctly felt the surrounding temperature rising without the previous extreme cold.
He thought it must be Lu Xiaoyu’s body absorbing the cold air, causing the surrounding temperature to rise.
With that thought, Chen Tianlong urgently resumed operating his cultivation technique; he had to break out of this Frozen Cold Domain quickly. Only then could he possibly save Lu Xiaoyu.
He didn’t believe Lu Xiaoyu would die like this, or rather, he dared not face Lu Xiaoyu dying like this.
Another hour passed, Chen Tianlong suddenly felt his body warming up, not only not cold but actually warm. At first, he thought it was Lu Xiaoyu’s doing, raising the temperature.
