Chapter 2649: Extreme Cold Ice Cave

Ao Lin pondered for a moment in his mind, then tentatively said to Lin Feng, "There is, but the temperature is too low. None of us have been there, so I’m not sure if you can go in."

Thinking carefully, only the Extreme Cold Ice Cave met such requirements. The temperature there hasn’t changed for tens of thousands of years, and you can feel the cold from the ice cave hundreds of miles away. Moreover, no member of the Fox Clan has ever stepped inside, so they have no idea what it looks like inside.

"It’s fine, take me there to try." Lin Feng looked at Ao Lin and said confidently.

Seeing Lin Feng’s confidence, Ao Lin had no choice but to lead Lin Feng to the Extreme Cold Ice Cave.

The two of them walked from the entrance of Snow City in the opposite direction, and before long they saw another ice cave. The two walked in. This ice cave was the same as the others—crystal clear, with no end in sight. They walked one after the other, until they passed through the snow mountain and emerged from the other side. As soon as they came out, Lin Feng noticed that this side of the mountain was in shadow, with the cold wind howling and seemingly many times colder than the other side. The snow here, never seeing the sun, was much thicker, sinking up to their waists when stepped on.

Ao Lin and Lin Feng exchanged glances and continued walking forward. After three days of walking, they finally arrived at the center of this snowy plain.

Then Lin Feng suddenly shivered, as if the temperature had dropped abruptly. A fierce wind suddenly started blowing within this range, and dozens of yards away from the two, there was a pitch-black ice cave, exceptionally striking against the vast white snow. Just as he was about to lift his leg to go forward, Ao Lin stopped him.

"Brother Lin, I can only escort you this far." Ao Lin pointed at the distant entrance of the cave and continued to say to Lin Feng, "That’s the entrance to the Extreme Cold Ice Cave. Do you have a way to get in?"

In front of the two of them was an invisible barrier, like a transparent curtain from the sky, isolating the surroundings. The Ao Xue Hiding Fox Clan couldn’t enter, and it was strictly forbidden by the clan’s internal orders. He knew it was a very dangerous place and wanted to remind Lin Feng to be careful.

Lin Feng hadn’t noticed this transparent barrier earlier. Upon touching it, a piercing cold sensation attacked him instantly. This barrier seemed like ice—formless and solid. After considering for a moment, Lin Feng said, "I have a way."

He took out the Heaven-Breaking Spire from his spatial storage and then infused it with the Seven-Colored Essence Gang. The Heaven-Breaking Spire emitted a purple light, which grew increasingly intense, turning hundreds of yards around into a strange purple hue. At this moment, under the influence of the purple light, cracks began to form in the surrounding ice, soon threatening to collapse at any moment.

What kind of Dharma Treasure is this?

Ao Lin saw Lin Feng take out the Heaven-Breaking Spire and was very curious, not knowing what Lin Feng intended to do. The ice had been accumulating for tens of thousands of years, several dozen yards thick, yet this spire was making it crack just with its aura alone. How was this possible!

"Crack!"

Lin Feng slammed the purple Heaven-Breaking Spire into the thick ice layer. Instantly, a clear crack appeared on the barrier. He pushed hard again, and suddenly a circular hole appeared in the center of the ice wall. Because of this hole, the surrounding ice surface instantly expanded with cracks spreading outward, and in a moment, all the ice within hundreds of yards collapsed!

"This!"

Seeing this scene, Ao Lin’s eyes widened. He truly hadn’t expected that the mystical barrier the Ao Xue Hiding Fox Clan spoke of could be so easily breached by Lin Feng. But before he finished his amazement, something even more astonishing happened.

Then, Lin Feng’s silhouette flickered, entering the barrier directly. Looking through that hole, he said to Ao Lin, "Clan Leader, you can return now, I’m going in."

Before Ao Lin could react, Lin Feng strode confidently toward the entrance of the Extreme Cold Ice Cave, leaving Ao Lin standing there in a daze.

Once inside the barrier, Lin Feng suddenly felt the temperature drop even more, to the point where it was uncomfortable. He walked to the entrance of the Extreme Cold Ice Cave and looked down; below him were transparent spiral ice stairs, extending indefinitely. After a moment of thought, he summoned the Eternal Divine Flame, and instantly, the surrounding temperature rose significantly, making him feel less cold.

As soon as Lin Feng stepped into the cave, he noticed that the temperature here seemed colder than outside. Even with the Eternal Divine Flame surrounding him, the piercing cold made him uncomfortable. Indeed, this Extreme Cold Ice Cave lived up to its name. In front of him, spiral stairs led down several zhang, followed by an endless corridor of ice caves. On both sides of the corridor were thick clear surfaces, and as he walked further, he felt increasingly uneasy but couldn’t pinpoint what felt off.

Suddenly, the ice surface moved slightly, and he sensed something emerging from the ice above, though nothing could be seen with the naked eye. Lin Feng felt the presence of Demon Beasts, yet the surroundings were all ice, with nothing visible.

Not good!

From the ice surface behind Lin Feng, a few transparent figures protruded, as if directly flying out of the ice. Four invisible ice bats appeared behind him, flapping their ice crystal wings as they rapidly charged towards Lin Feng. Although these bats were transparent ice-type Demon Beasts, their mouths clearly showed sharp fangs, and their bodies were entirely transparent except for their eyes emitting a sharp black light, terrifying to the extreme.

Turning around, Lin Feng stretched out his five fingers and waved them in the air. The Eternal Divine Flame in his hand gathered, instantly transforming the four bats into a puddle of ice water before they could get close to him.

He then smiled faintly and continued to walk forward. After about an hour, he found the ice corridor growing wider. Initially just a few zhang wide, it became more expansive the further he went, eventually spanning dozens of zhang. The corridor within the ice cave was naturally formed, uneven and rugged, occasionally with ice spikes rising from the ground, very dangerous.

What is this?

Suddenly, not far away, Lin Feng saw some ice sculptures. Upon closer inspection, he realized they weren’t ice sculptures at all but Demon Beasts encased tightly in ice, looking like they had been frozen for countless years. The deeper he went, the more he saw. These Demon Beasts were all in various postures, their eyes showing fear, suggesting they experienced something terrifying before freezing to death.

This puzzled Lin Feng greatly. Where did these Demon Beasts come from? Why had none ever been seen above? Why did they all freeze to death along this path? What lay inside? What did they see before their demise? These questions filled Lin Feng’s mind, increasing his caution towards the Extreme Cold Ice Cave.

The deeper Lin Feng ventured, the colder it felt. He had no choice but to summon the Fire Spirit, Xiao Huo, to help him control the Eternal Divine Flame. When the Fire Spirit Xiao Huo appeared, it too was completely stunned, pointing at the ice sculptures and asking, "Master, what are these?"

Lin Feng didn’t explain much to it and simply said, "These are Demon Beasts that froze to death."

Over the next hour, Lin Feng and the Fire Spirit Xiao Huo ventured deeper inside, encountering countless frozen Demon Beasts. The deeper they went, the thicker the ice encasing the Demon Beasts became. Even Lin Feng was barely able to endure the low temperature. At that moment, he suddenly noticed a faint light emanating from the bottom of the cave, an elusive blue light seemingly bringing bursts of cold toward him.

Recalling the frozen state of the Demon Beasts, he immediately became alert, suspecting that this blue light might be the culprit behind their deaths. Lin Feng then moved against the ice wall, trying to avoid the surrounding blue light as much as possible. The uneven ice surface made it difficult to evade as the blue light refracted back and forth from the transparent ice. Throwing a Spiritual Medicine from the space, just as expected, upon being hit by the blue light, the Spiritual Medicine was instantly encased in a thick layer of ice.

He had no idea how far he was from the source of the blue light, but despite Xiao Huo controlling the Eternal Divine Flame, he still felt a biting cold. He was truly curious about where this blue light originated and what it was.

Several hours later, Lin Feng finally managed to evade layer upon layer of blue light to reach the bottom of the Extreme Cold Ice Cave. Upon arrival, he discovered this was the most dangerous place.

It was a subterranean ice cavern spanning several hundred zhang, sunk tens of zhang into the ground. Ice spikes protruded upward like boards made of ice, each incredibly sharp. The surroundings at the bottom were all glowing blue ice; Lin Feng’s strength allowed him to clearly feel that this was Yuan Energy condensed into a solid state.

In the center of the pit stood a giant ice platform, on which lay a massive ice egg. The egg was at least several zhang in diameter, emitting brilliant azure blue light. Despite being dozens of zhang away from the egg, Lin Feng felt an extreme cold emanating from it just by looking.

It emitted a faint blue glow, and the shell could hardly be discerned. The chill exuding from the egg seemed to cloak its surroundings in a thin mist. Lin Feng was certain that this egg was definitely an extraordinary existence of ice-type Demon Beast lineage, and if it hatched, it would undoubtedly be unimaginable.

Lin Feng watched the egg from afar, not daring to approach recklessly, pondering how he might capture this enormous egg.

He then moved a few steps forward into a place where the blue light didn’t reach, and extended his Divine Sense to try lifting the giant egg. However, after several attempts, he found he couldn’t lift it at all. The egg’s aura was so powerful that it weakened his Divine Sense, rendering this method ineffective.

Realizing the distance was still quite far, he thought getting closer might help. But upon stepping forward, the Eternal Divine Flame around him seemed on the verge of extinguishing; he clearly felt piercing cold. At such a distance, he could barely endure it; moving closer would certainly lead to frostbite...
