Chapter 2636

The Bone Hell enveloped the surrounding wilderness, devouring the lured Glacier Beast and turning it into nourishment for the Bone Hell.

The Glacier Beasts from the previous extreme were not of a high enough level, so Lin Moyu had not devoured them all. But the Glacier Beasts of the fifth extreme…

…possessed power that was strong enough. They were qualified to become fodder for the Bone Hell to nurture the World-Burning Fire.

To feed the Bone Hell, the Nine Extremes Glacier was indeed a good place.

Chapter 3357: Roar in the Sixth Extreme

A forbidden zone for the disciples of the Hanshui Holy Land.

The perilous Nine Extremes Glacier, which even Seventh Realm Ancestors could not delve too deep into, had become a prime spot for Lin Moyu to improve himself.

One Dao Venerable 7th Realm Glacier Beast after another was lured over and then devoured by the Bone Hell. Lin Moyu had barely done anything…

…yet he reaped a bountiful harvest. The Hell Fierce Spirits within the Bone Hell feasted heartily.

They howled incessantly as they ate, and Lin Moyu could feel that the strength of the Bone Hell was slowly rising.

Although its realm remained unchanged, it was truly growing stronger. A thoughtful look appeared in Lin Moyu's eyes.

With the strength of the Bone Hell, I can still run rampant at least in the sixth extreme.

In the seventh extreme, I will face Glacier Beasts with the combat power of the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable. It will be a bit troublesome then, and I will have to devour them one by one.

By having Su Pu and the Bone Hell cooperate and being a bit careful, it should be manageable.

As for what Xiao Mei said about Glacier Beasts fusing together to become a Glacier Beast King…

I just need to deny them the chance to fuse. Lin Moyu already had a plan for what to do in the seventh extreme. As for the eighth and ninth extremes…

He had not thought about them yet and could only take things one step at a time. Lin Moyu could feel that when a Glacier Beast died…

…the suppressed power beneath the glacier would instinctively shrink back. Based on the direction of its retreat, he could roughly determine the area where the entity's main body was located.

While luring the Glacier Beasts over, Lin Moyu also walked toward the area where the main body was located. The glacier was vast.

The number of Glacier Beasts was staggering. The Skeleton Divine Generals had lured over tens of thousands of them along the way.

Yet, this was still only a small area. Lin Moyu walked at a decent pace, taking about two days…

…and covering an unknown distance before finally arriving at his destination. Through the Eye of the Undead…

Lin Moyu once again saw a Soul Fire. This Soul Fire was clearly much stronger than the one in the fourth extreme.

It also had no consciousness, no aversion from the Great Dao, and likewise originated from the Black Blood Great World.

He felt immense hostility toward it. When it came to things from the Black Blood Great World, there was no need for the Great World to say anything.

Lin Moyu had already made his decision. Under the gaze of the Eye of the Undead, the Soul Fire pulsed slowly. It was incomplete.

It resembled either a clone or a fragment, slightly stronger than the one in the fourth extreme, and it was suppressed beneath the glacier.

It wandered unconsciously, its position unfixed. Lin Moyu was in no hurry to kill it.

The Glacier Beasts had not been wiped out yet, so it could not be erased. Once it was erased…

…the Glacier Beasts would collapse, and the Bone Hell would have much less to feed on. Lin Moyu was like an experienced hunter…

…who had locked onto his prey, following it wherever it went.

During this time, Glacier Beasts were lured from afar one after another, becoming food for the Bone Hell.

Time passed bit by bit. The number of killed Glacier Beasts had exceeded a hundred thousand, and the Skeleton Kings' efficiency was rapidly declining.

The number of Glacier Beasts was dwindling. It was about time!

Coincidentally, the Soul Fire had drifted close to a glacier tea tree.

Lin Moyu followed the same method, employing the World-Burning Fire. The World-Burning Fire condensed into a thin thread…

…burrowing into the glacier along the glacier tea tree. Under Lin Moyu's control, it unerringly pounced onto the Soul Fire.

The Soul Fire was ignited, and Lin Moyu heard a shrill shriek that pierced straight into his Soul World.

It was incredibly ear-piercing, causing one's heart to tremble just by listening. Everything about the Black Blood Great World…

…brought fear, accompanied by a sense of disgust. This time…

The World-Burning Fire burned for a long time. Lin Moyu estimated it took at least half a day…

…to completely incinerate the entity. During the burning process, the World-Burning Fire grew significantly stronger.

After the incineration, nothing was left behind, not even a soul crystal.

Even the World-Burning Fire deemed it utterly worthless. The filthy things of the Black Blood Great World were worse than garbage.

With a trace of disdain, Lin Moyu looked at the glacier tea nearby. Having lost its soul…

…the suppressed power was rapidly absorbed in large quantities by the glacier tea tree, which sprouted fresh tea leaves. These tea trees were indeed miraculous.

They could actually transform the power of the Black Blood Great World into tea leaves beneficial for cultivation. If these tea trees could be planted all over the Black Blood Great World…

Perhaps the Black Blood Great World could be put to some practical use. A sudden, bizarre thought popped into Lin Moyu's mind.

Although he had never been to the Black Blood Great World, he felt his idea might be feasible—provided, of course, that all those fellows in the Black Blood Great World were wiped out first.

Or perhaps they could be kept in captivity to continuously provide tea leaves for him. This was a very vicious thought.

But if used against the Black Blood Great World, Lin Moyu felt there was nothing wrong with it. He collected all the tea leaves from the nearby trees…

…and headed toward the sixth extreme. Just like the fifth extreme, the moment he entered the sixth extreme…

…what welcomed Lin Moyu was also a terrifying chill. Lin Moyu was once again frozen into an ice sculpture.

Then came the gradual adaptation. The entire process was like a replay of the fifth extreme.

Only this time, it took longer. Lin Moyu remained an ice-man for quite a while before breaking out.

His physical body and soul were enhanced once again. After this improvement, his body and soul were already very close to the Dao Venerable 7th Realm.

Most importantly, his body's adaptability to the chill was growing stronger. It seemed…

…that as soon as I enter the seventh extreme, my physical body will be able to advance to the Dao Venerable 7th Realm. At that time…

…I will definitely gain Immunity to the chill, and one of the major dangers of the Nine Extremes Glacier will be ignored by me.

Lin Moyu summoned a Skeleton King. Amidst the chill, the Undying Flame enveloping the Skeleton King was rapidly extinguished.

In the blink of an eye, the Skeleton King became an ice sculpture. The chill of the sixth extreme was too intense; even a Dao Venerable 7th Realm…

…could not last long here. Only those at the Dao Venerable 8th Realm could move about freely.

It was only natural that the Dao Venerable 6th Realm Skeleton King could not move here. Lin Moyu was merely testing it out.

With a thought, Su Pu and the Thunder Lich appeared by his side, along with the remaining War Beasts.

Most of the War Beasts had already died in battle, with only about fifty remaining. However, they were still Dao Venerable 7th Realm War Beasts after all.

They could still be put to use. The War Beasts were thick-skinned and fleshy, so they could manage to endure here.

The Thunder Lich was draped in the Thunder Dao; by borrowing the power of the Dao, it could also barely resist the freezing cold.

As for Su Pu, this level of cold could not harm him. Next, Lin Moyu took out the general's seal of the Divine Talisman Army.

Activating the seal to boost the power of the War Beasts and the Thunder Lich as much as possible, Lin Moyu murmured:

“The numbers are a bit low. It's still because my realm is too low, otherwise it wouldn't be this troublesome.”

“But it's still better than searching on my own. Besides, having fewer numbers also has its advantages.”

“At least we won't lure too many at once,” Lin Moyu consoled himself. The Glacier Beasts of the sixth extreme…

…had combat power touching the Dao Venerable 8th Realm, making them incredibly powerful. Of course…

…they could not compare to those Eighth Realm Ancestors of the Hanshui Holy Land. But if their numbers were sufficient, they could still kill. Lin Moyu had absolute confidence in the Bone Hell.

Not to mention Glacier Beasts, even an Eighth Realm Ancestor could be trapped and killed. Very quickly…

…the first Glacier Beast was lured over. It was bizarre; this Glacier Beast was massive…

…standing over thirty meters tall. It looked like a white bear, except it had three heads.

Its appearance was extremely bizarre. Lin Moyu directly deployed the Bone Hell to envelop it, and the Hell Fierce Spirits pounced out.

Chapter 3358: I Hope You Don't Disappoint Me

They instantly covered its entire body, biting down mouthful after mouthful. The Glacier Beast seemed impervious to pain…

…as it fought back frantically, shaking off a large number of Hell Fierce Spirits. But even if it shook off a hundred…

…two hundred more would pounce. Their numbers grew larger and larger, making it impossible to shake them all off.

This battle, devoid of any spectacular displays, lasted for a full five minutes before the Glacier Beast finally sank into the lava…

…becoming nourishment for the Bone Hell. At the instant of its death, his soul heard a roar.

The roar pierced his soul like a sharp knife, causing him to furrow his brows. In the sixth extreme glacier, the death of a Glacier Beast…

…actually triggered a soul attack. The soul attack came from very far away; the opponent had used the Glacier Beast as a medium to lock onto him.

To be more precise, they had utilized the Glacier Beast's obsession…

…bypassing the Bone Hell to lock directly onto him. A soul attack was nothing to him.

Lin Moyu's soul could easily disperse it with a wave of his hand. However, the emergence of this soul attack sparked some conjectures in Lin Moyu's mind.

Could it be that the soul suppressed here has already developed self-awareness?

If it has developed self-awareness, that will be a bit troublesome. Let's go over and take a look first. Once it has self-awareness…

…it will feel fear and run away. Yet, if I want to attack it, I basically need to do so through a glacier tea tree.

If it flees to a place without glacier tea trees, dealing with it will become very troublesome. At this point…

…the World-Burning Fire won't be able to burn it to death instantly, and the glacier that originally suppressed it will instead become its best protective layer.

Let's find it first. Even if it really has developed awareness, it's not like there's no way to handle it.

When Lin Moyu was previously considering how to deal with the black blood Remnant Soul, he had already thought of a backup plan. He had considered various possibilities…

…including the scenario where the opponent developed awareness and fled. He had devised a countermeasure early on.

It was just that it would be best if he didn't have to use this method. Once used…

…Lin Moyu did not know what the consequences would be. Perhaps nothing would happen, or perhaps it could cause very severe consequences.

Speculation was, after all, just speculation. Without seeing it with his own eyes, everything remained an unknown.

Another Glacier Beast was lured over. Lin Moyu still used the same old method to deal with it.

A Glacier Beast with combat power reaching the Dao Venerable 8th Realm was a great tonic for the Bone Hell. Devouring one each day…

…would strengthen it by a fraction, with results even better than devouring over a hundred Dao Venerable 7th Realm Glacier Beasts. Starting from the sixth extreme…

…the Bone Hell began to grow stronger at an astonishing rate. As Glacier Beasts were lured over one by one, the number of devoured Glacier Beasts grew larger and larger.

The Bone Hell also grew increasingly stronger, and its devouring speed was continuously accelerating. After devouring over a hundred Glacier Beasts…

…the Bone Hell's devouring speed had increased several fold, going from taking five minutes to devour one at the start to now requiring only one minute.

The Bone Hell grew stronger at a visible pace. Every time a Glacier Beast died, Lin Moyu would hear a roar…

…and simultaneously receive a soul attack. He went from initial surprise to eventually becoming accustomed to it.

Lin Moyu even suspected that his guess might be wrong. If the opponent truly possessed intelligence…

…why would they still do this when they clearly knew it was in vain?

This was highly abnormal.

Now, with a hundred Glacier Beasts devoured, Lin Moyu had also locked onto the opponent's approximate location.

He dashed off swiftly. Lin Moyu sped across the glacier, his speed incredibly fast.

He was worried that if the opponent really possessed intelligence, they would flee. He ran for several hours…

…covering an unknown distance before finally spotting the other party. A Soul Fire, larger than the previous ones…

…was pulsing beneath the glacier. This Soul Fire was still incomplete, merely a slightly larger fragment.

Lin Moyu stopped at a distance, looking at the Soul Fire, and murmured to himself:

“Reasonably speaking, this kind of fragmented Soul Fire shouldn't be able to birth a new intelligent consciousness. If what it possesses is not intelligence…”
