Chapter 2727: Chapter 2703: Nine-Layered Ice Tower

Chapter 2703 Nine Layers Ice Tower

What exactly is going on.

Lin Feng’s first reaction was to retreat, and then he immediately flashed outside the barrier. As soon as he left, the flame returned to its original form.

This is too strange. Could it be that the flame transforms when it knows someone has intruded? Is this the Death Flame?

Standing outside the barrier, Lin Feng pondered. Previously, when he subdued the Indestructible Flame, he could only endure it, waiting for the Heaven and Earth Strange Fire to recognize him. But for some unknown reason, he felt that this Death Flame was different from other Heaven and Earth Strange Fires.

Forget it, let’s do it. He knew that subduing a Heaven and Earth Strange Fire requires three processes, and the most difficult to endure is the burning process. He must withstand the baptism of this Death Flame.

After deciding, Lin Feng erupted and condensed the Seven-Colored Essence Gang within his body, instantly coating him with a layer of seven-colored protective shield. Then he gathered the Eternal Divine Flame outside of his body. With this double protection, he re-entered the black barrier.

"Boom!"

Indeed, the black Death Flame instantly engulfed Lin Feng when it condensed, leaving him immobilized as if bound by something. The feeling was akin to suffocation, extremely uncomfortable.

"Ah!"

With a scream, Lin Feng fearfully discovered that, unlike other Heaven and Earth Strange Fires, this Death Flame did not burn and devour starting from the skin but directly scorched the bones. He could clearly feel the bones melting into slag, while the skin was unharmed.

This is terrifying!

At this point, Lin Feng had to devise a plan; otherwise, the Death Flame would consume him from the inside out. He quickly circulated the Nine Suns Sky-Shaking Technique, instantly releasing nine Sunbursts. His cultivation technique circulated rapidly, driving away the devouring Death Flame.

Standing in the black flame, Lin Feng closed his eyes, sweat dripping profusely from his head, gritting his teeth, his face pale.

The Death Flame, like a black demon, tightly enveloped Lin Feng inside. All surroundings were shrouded in dense black smoke, while Lin Feng remained motionless within the Death Flame.

"Boom!"

When the Nine Suns Sky-Shaking Technique began to take effect, he broke free from the devouring black flame. The black flame dispersed into countless black sparks, then each dispersed, leaving only a small black flame gleaming in the center.

Seeing that he temporarily scattered the Death Flame, Lin Feng quickly took out elixirs from the space and desperately stuffed them into his mouth, finally feeling alive.

With the support of the elixirs, Lin Feng felt less uncomfortable, striving to resist the burning of the Death Flame. He extracted the Indestructible Flame from the Eternal Divine Flame, instantly filling the entire volcano’s interior with red flame. Then, with a wave of his hand, the Indestructible Flame flew around the Death Flame, instantly enveloping it.

In an instant, all Yuan Energy inside the volcano rushed towards the Indestructible Flame, forming a layer of Yuan Energy protective shield on its outside, densely surrounding the Death Flame.

The Death Flame, like a person struggling desperately, stirred vigorously within the Indestructible Flame, manifesting various shapes, crashing against the Indestructible Flame, but to no avail.

Just like this, Lin Feng and the Death Flame stalemated for three days. Under the strong suppression of the Indestructible Flame, the Death Flame finally calmed down, no longer darting about like at the start. He knew he had subdued the Death Flame. Then he stretched out his right hand, the Indestructible Flame wrapped the Death Flame and flew back into Lin Feng’s hand.

Lin Feng closed his eyes and merged the Death Flame with other Heaven and Earth Strange Fires, once again releasing the Eternal Divine Flame. Upon seeing a small clump of black flame at the center of the fire, he nodded in satisfaction.

Coming out of the volcano, he saw the Azure Flame Frost Tiger lying obediently on the snow, waiting for him. Lin Feng smiled faintly, leaping onto the Azure Flame Frost Tiger’s back, saying: "Let’s go, friend."

Seeing Lin Feng come out safely, the Azure Flame Frost Tiger was somewhat puzzled, then asked: "What’s in that volcano?"

"Nothing, just some treasures you don’t need." Lin Feng teased it on purpose.

Upon hearing Lin Feng mention treasures, the Azure Flame Frost Tiger’s eyes immediately gleamed, then asked: "Doesn’t that mean I get half too? Give me half then!"

"Or else, we can have another fight, and if you win, you get them all!"

"Forget it, I don’t want them anymore..."

...

As one man and one beast chatted while traveling, the days weren’t too boring. A few days passed this way, and Lin Feng found that the Azure Flame Frost Tiger wasn’t a battle-loving demon beast, just too bored. Through their days together, he came to understand the Azure Flame Frost Tiger better.

One day, Lin Feng suddenly felt a special aura in the air. He closed his eyes and extended his divine sense, but found nothing unusual on the Frost Highland; aside from the ice fields and snow mountains, there was nothing else. But not far from them, a huge pit was covered by snow and ice, extremely concealed, almost escaping his notice.

"What place is that?" Lin Feng asked, pointing towards the direction of the giant pit.

"How have I never known of such a place?" Following Lin Feng’s direction, the Azure Flame Frost Tiger noticed a huge deep pit. It had passed here before but had never realized.

"Let’s go and check it out." Lin Feng sensed the aura of this place was so distinctly different, he felt there must be something peculiar in the pit.

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, the Azure Flame Frost Tiger flew towards the edge of the giant pit...

Looking at the sprawling giant pit hundreds of miles around, entirely covered in ice and snow, the pit was several meters deep. Within the pit was a snow cave, presumably an entrance. Lin Feng glanced at the Azure Flame Frost Tiger, and the Azure Flame Frost Tiger looked back at Lin Feng, then asked, "Are you going in?"

"Yes." Lin Feng nodded.

The Azure Flame Frost Tiger also sensed danger, but it now considered Lin Feng a companion, and then said to Lin Feng, "I’ll accompany you."

Lin Feng felt a bit moved by the tiger’s words. Then, one man and one beast squeezed through the entrance of the snow cave.

The interior of the snow cave was filled with glistening ice blocks, reflecting dazzling light. The cave’s width was only enough to accommodate the Azure Flame Frost Tiger’s massive body, forcing it to lower its head and advance slowly. They didn’t know how far they had walked, only that the snow cave extended continuously underground. After some time, they finally exited the narrow snow cave.

The scene that met their eyes left both man and beast in stunned silence. Before them, an enormous space, all black, where a pagoda floated in the air, reminding Lin Feng of the Myriad Gods Tower. But this pagoda was entirely black, made of unknown stones, and the strangest part was, it was upside down.

"Nine-layer Ice Tower?" the Azure Flame Frost Tiger exclaimed.

"What nine-layer Ice Tower?" Lin Feng turned to the Azure Flame Frost Tiger and asked.

"I don’t know either, just that I’ve heard from an alien in a city before that there’s a burial mound of a strong member of the Alien Race on the ice field, an exceptional site considered to be a Dharma treasure. Though I’m unsure if this is it." The Azure Flame Frost Tiger explained to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng examined the enormous pagoda before them, estimating it to be at least several hundred meters tall from top to bottom, indeed having nine levels. It seemed as though some power was supporting it above, allowing it to float underground, and upon closer inspection, it was clear these weren’t black stones, but black ice crystals, emanating an eerie black light, as if cursed.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Feng leapt toward the first level of the tower, believing it contained unexpected treasure. Seeing Lin Feng fly over, the Azure Flame Frost Tiger shook its head and followed directly.

Standing at the base of the pagoda, given its inverted nature, Lin Feng felt very uncomfortable. He felt an unprecedented surge of demon energy. Closing his eyes, he sensed many strong demon beasts within the tower and was certain of them.

Cautiously, Lin Feng entered the first level of the Ice Tower, only to find that it was empty, containing only stairs descending further. The stairs themselves were constructed from black ice crystals. What kind of material was this? How could ice possibly be black?

"There’s nothing here." The Azure Flame Frost Tiger followed closely behind Lin Feng, looking around, but saw nothing.

"Careful!"

Lin Feng suddenly shouted. Startled, the Azure Flame Frost Tiger crouched down, witnessing countless bats formed from ice flying overhead. It was fortunate Lin Feng warned him, or the Azure Flame Frost Tiger would have been attacked by the bats.

Standing up and shaking its fur, the Azure Flame Frost Tiger grew angry. Sneak attacks again? It then leapt forward, claws flailing in the air, shattering the icy bats into ice fragments scattered across the ground, littering the area with broken ice.

With a faint smile, Lin Feng thought it really was the right choice to bring this big fellow along. Though these icy bats were only at the early stage of Demon King, their surprise attack reminded both of the dangers within the tower. The bats suddenly reminded him of the Extreme Cold Ice Cave on Snow Hidden Island he had seen before; was there some connection between them?

Unable to think further, Lin Feng and the Azure Flame Frost Tiger descended the ice steps to the second level. As expected by Lin Feng, beasts guarded each level. A creature resembling a bald eagle, but with three eyes on its body, flew over. Lin Feng didn’t act, as he sensed the beast’s level was low; the Azure Flame Frost Tiger could easily take care of it.

Lin Feng glanced at the Azure Flame Frost Tiger, who, acknowledging the cue, leapt up and slapped the bald eagle unconscious, then gulped it down whole, gulping it wolfishly, occasionally spitting out feathers.

"..." Observing this scene, Lin Feng was a bit speechless. He hadn’t expected the Azure Flame Frost Tiger to actually eat the bald eagle. Then, with a resigned smile, he continued leading the Azure Flame Frost Tiger toward the third floor.
