Xue Lin’s request to stay deeply touched the Sect Master of the Dark Ice Sect. Seeing that in this vital moment of life or death, Xue Lin was more concerned with her teacher’s safety than her own, the Sect Master knew that doting on this disciple did not go to waste.
The Sect Master of Dark Ice Sect shook her head and asserted, “Xue, I know you care about me, but you must leave with Tian Xuan at once. That four-eyed demonic snake is incredibly strong, and you won’t be able to fight it. In fact, I am not even sure if I can be a match for it. All I can do now is to hold it off for a while.”
After she finished, the Sect Master held out her palm to shove Xue Lin away. She began flourishing the silver longsword in her hand and formed a flash of sword light. The flash of sword light was a few hundred meters long and struck brutally towards the four-eyed demonic snake.
However, the four-eyed demonic snake had extremely coarse and thick skin. Hence, it did not even pay any mind to the attack.
The Sect Master’s sword light struck onto four-eyed demonic snake’s body and was bounced back immediately. The attack was not effective at all.
The four-eyed demonic snake watched the Sect Master tauntingly as if she was a fool and remarked coldly, “I am a demonic beast on the third level of the spirit monarch realm, and you are merely a level one spirit monarch realm master. How ridiculously overconfident you must be to want to defeat me. All of you will die here today, no exceptions.”
After it finished talking, it opened its mouth again and spat out a burst of black flames. The flames were of horrifyingly high temperatures and had great powers. In an instant, they had reached the elders and disciples at the front and burned them to death.
Those elders were all masters a half-step into the spirit monarch realm and were well-known throughout the entire Crimson Fire Continent. Yet, they had become feeble and weak in the Mystic Sun Realm.
Especially when put against four-eyed demonic snake, they could not even withstand one single attack from it. Instantaneously, their bodies had turned into piles of ashes drifting in the air, and so did their spiritual nascent souls. Their deaths were completely finalized with no chance of revival or reincarnation at all.
Now, the only people left in the entire canyon were the Sect Master of the Dark Ice Sect, Xue Lin, and Tian Xuan.
At this time, Xuan Tian’s face had become ghastly pale and had lost its beauty. His entire body was quivering as he stood fearfully behind his mother.
Paleness had also crossed Xue Lin’s exquisite face. Right now, she couldn’t help but miss Qingfeng Li terribly. She knew that if he were here, he would definitely know what to do in this situation.
Unfortunately, the Mystic Sun Realm was vast – exactly ten times larger than the country of Lingyun. Without knowing his precise whereabouts, she had no clue where to look.
The Sect Master’s face was ashen and gloomy. She had a hard time taking in the fact that her elders and disciples of many years had all been slaughtered in an instant before her eyes.
Luckily, she put up a defensive lightveil to protect Xue Lin and Tian Xuan while they were retreating. Otherwise, the three of them would have been killed by the flames as well. This four-eyed demonic snake before them was way too strong, they had no way to resist his attacks anymore.
Just moments ago, the Sect Master was still trying to get Xue Lin and Tian Xuan to leave. Now, the possibility of anyone escaping here seemed very small. It seemed like the canyon might be the grave for them all.
Suddenly, four-eyed demonic snake’s eyes lit up. It looked at Xue Lin with eyes filled with greed as it had sensed the aura of a pure godly beast bloodline from her body. It felt intoxicated by this energy.
The four-eyed demonic snake had a feeling that if it devoured the bloodline power of this beautiful woman standing before it, it would lead to remarkable progress. It could likely evolve into a water dragon or even a celestial dragon.
The aura of the godly beast emitted by Xue Lin was sstrong, but only exceptionally powerful demonic beasts like four-eyed demonic snake could sense it.
A shred of cruelty crossed four-eyed demonic snake’s eyes as it stared at Xue Lin and demanded, “Pretty lady, I like the bloodline in you. Just be compliant and let me devour you. That way, at least your soul will get to rest in peace.”
Terror covered Xue Lin’s face and it became bloodlessly pale. Her greatest fear had come true – the four-eyed demonic snake had no doubt figured out that she had the Ice Phoenix Bloodline in her body.
The Ice Phoenix Bloodline was the bloodline of one of the ten great ancient godly beasts – the Ice Phoenix, which was comparable to the Godly Dragon, Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise, and Roc.
It was because Xue Lin had the Ice Phoenix Bloodline in her body that she was able to cultivate at such a fast speed. Before, she was only an ordinary person with limited strength and little knowledge of self-cultivation and its techniques.
For the mere few months that she had been in the Crimson Fire Continent, she had already reached the summit of the ninth level spirit supreme realm. Such a rocket fast speed of advancement was comparable to even Qingfeng Li’s.
All that Xue Lin lacked was some Monarch Law. Once she could cultivate insights into a Monarch Law, she would be able to achieve a breakthrough to the spirit monarch realm.
Sadly, it seemed she would not be given the chance since she had encountered this dangerous four-eyed demonic snake in the Mystic Sun Realm.
Just from its appearance, one could tell that the four-eyed demonic snake was an immensely powerful demonic beast – cruel, merciless, and having an eternal thirst for blood.
There were ominous white bones scattered all over the canyon. The number of self-cultivators who had become meals and been devoured by this four-eyed demonic snake was immeasurable. One glimpse of this sight could surely chill its viewer to the bone.
Rumble, rumble, rumble…
Along with roars of thunders and flashes of lightning, a heavy rain suddenly started gushing down from the sky. This pouring rain had slightly brightened up the entire canyon.
Showered in the thunders and rain, Xue Lin seemed lost in thought and became statue-like. In this alarmingly dangerous moment, she was acquiring a sense of enlightenment.
Judging from her expression, the Sect Master could tell that Xue Lin was in the process of cultivating a Monarch Law at this dire moment.
The Sect Master couldn’t help but give out a sigh of joy. She was very proud of her disciple’s giftedness and genius for being able to cultivate a Monarch Law at such thrilling moment.
Unfortunately, the four-eyed demonic snake was in their way. If it weren’t for it, she felt that her disciple would definitely be able to achieve a breakthrough to the spirit monarch realm. After all, with just a few months of cultivation, Xue Lin’s progress was equivalent to the hundred years of cultivation of the Sect Master’s.
The Sect Master took a step forward and got in front of Xue Lin, sheltering Xue Lin behind her.
She knew that it was a pivotal moment for Xue Lin’s cultivation and that it could not be interrupted. Hence, she must protect Xue Lin and keep her out of harm’s way.
The Sect Master had sworn to herself that even if it meant her own death, she had to fight as hard as possible to keep Xue Lin alive.
The Ice Phoenix Bloodline in Xue Lin’s body was one of the top-notch bloodlines. In the Ancient Era, it was so powerful that it dominated over the entire universe and allowed the owner to become one of the rulers of the Three Thousand Big Worlds – even the powers of saints and immortals were no match for it.
For this reason, the Sect Master believed that as long as Xue Lin survived this cultivation, she would definitely annihilate four-eyed demonic snake to avenge the Sect Master, who was her teacher.
Regarding her son Tian Xuan, she had her concerns. But as long as he stayed by Xue Lin’s side, the Sect Master believed that he would not be in any physical dangers and would be guaranteed food and comfort for the rest of his life.
The four-eyed demonic snake brandished his gigantic tail which was as long as a few thousand meters, slicing through the air and even striking away one of the thunderbolts in the sky. It further started striking forcefully downward at Xue Lin.
It could sense the unusual nature of Xue Lin’s behavior and believed she was cultivating a Monarch Law. The four-eyed demonic snake knew of the invincible strength of this woman’s bloodline power, so it vowed to stop her from successfully completing her cultivation.
