Chapter 1598 (2/2)

Long Chen sucked in a cold gasp of air. Even with the Heaven Incinerating Flame, he couldn’t completely block the Ice Qi.

It felt like needles were stabbing him from the bottom of his feet. Those needles were so long that they stabbed his bones. That pain was even insufferable for Long Chen.

“This ice lake is ridiculous.” Long Chen looked around and shook his head. This place was not far from the whirlpool where the nine lakes gathered. Since he had no idea how long the lake was, or how long it would take to bypa.s.s it, who knew whether something would block his path again or not?

“I’ll risk it.”

Long Chen clenched his teeth. Increasing his flame power, he raced across the water.

“f.u.c.k, f.u.c.k, f.u.c.k!” A flaming figure could be seen shooting across the water.

Long Chen was sweating from the pain. His knees were particularly painful whenever he moved them.

Just as he was unable to endure any longer, he reached the bridge of floating logs. He immediately jumped onto them.

His entire body was covered in frost now. As soon as he jumped onto the floating logs, he felt like his entire body had been frozen stiff.

Huo Long flew out of Long Chen’s arm and wrapped itself around him, expelling the Ice Qi.

The Ice Qi was too powerful. At first, Huo Long was able to block the majority of it. However, as it continuously invaded Long Chen’s body, Huo Long’s power was gradually suppressed by it. Hence, more and more Ice Qi had acc.u.mulated in Long Chen’s body. If it weren’t for his powerful const.i.tution, he’d have long since died.

Although he hadn’t lost his life, he had lost half of it just now. Huo Long could only slowly expel it now. Once all the Ice Qi was expelled, Long Chen sighed with relief.

Huo Long actually let out a human-like sound when it crawled back onto Long Chen’s arm.

“Hahaha, it’s not your fault. You’re still small. Once you grow up and refine a few divine crystals, you’ll be able to block it completely,” comforted Long Chen. Huo Long was actually blaming itself for not being able to block the Ice Qi.

In truth, Huo Long was already shockingly powerful. It was able to unleash the full power of the Heaven Incinerating Flame.

However, because Lei Long had devoured the five-colored lightning and was absorbing the power of divine lightning, its power had surpa.s.sed Huo Long’s.

Both Huo Long and Lei Long were growing more intelligent and even starting to understand some human emotions. Long Chen had to look after their emotions.

The flame crystals that he had obtained in the Heaven Dragon Flame Region in Pill Valley had already been absorbed. As for the supreme Divine Flame Crystals that had been part of the formation to seal the Alldevil monster, their quality was too high for Huo Long to absorb them yet. So its power hadn’t increased in a while.

On the other hand, Lei Long was eating until it was full each day. Its power was constantly rising. Just now, Lei Long had done so well in helping Long Chen pa.s.s the violet region, but Huo Long hadn’t, causing it to feel guilty.

Just as Long Chen was comforting Huo Long, a figure appeared ahead. It was a slender woman with a pair of wings on her back.

The wings were wide, like a b.u.t.terfly’s. They were brightly colored and beautiful. The woman herself was also very stunning.

She looked to be a work of art, with every part of her appearing perfect. She also belonged to a race that Long Chen didn’t recognize.

Her wings were slowly fluttering, and thousands of runes could be seen flickering as they moved. It was like there was an illusion or fantasy wrapped around her. The Ice Qi was unable to touch her.

Of course, she was just crossing on the floating logs. It was difficult to say if she could be so nonchalant if she were standing on the actual water.

When she saw Long Chen resting on the log, she was shocked. She found that Long Chen’s cultivation base was too low. Furthermore, he wasn’t even using a divine ability to force back this Ice Qi.

Long Chen retreated to the side a bit, his meaning that she could pa.s.s and that he wouldn’t attack her.

The woman looked at Long Chen for a while. She suddenly opened her mouth and spoke, but Long Chen couldn’t understand what she was saying.

The woman looked at Long Chen oddly and didn’t try to speak again. She slowly walked past Long Chen, but her gaze locked onto him, on guard against a sneak attack.

Long Chen’s guard was also raised. After all, this was a powerful expert attacking the Netherpa.s.sage realm. Furthermore, these strange lifeforms all had their own bizarre divine abilities.

The two of them were now on one log, which was just six meters long. At such a close distance, any sneak attack could be fatal. Long Chen stared closely at her, and she stared closely back.

Just as the two of them were pa.s.sing by each other, a giant figure appeared from the front, and s.p.a.ce began to rumble. The woman’s expression changed, and fright manifested in her eyes.
