Chapter 490: Attack Underway

“Guests have arrived!” The moment the six of them set off, Ye Feng’s lips curled slightly as he stood up.
“Just two people?” Shentu Zhi and the others immediately noticed the situation on the airship. “Attack the airship and break its shield, but be careful not to damage it. I’ll go block them ahead.”
Hearing this, the five of them launched a joint attack. They didn’t dare use too much force, as the airship could only withstand a full-powered strike from a mid-stage Ancestral God. If it was destroyed, billions would be lost.
With just one strike, Jin heard the sound of the airship’s shield shattering. His face turned pale as he looked at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng nodded at him. “Go inside the cabin.”
He knew his presence would only hold Ye Feng back, so he quickly rushed into the cabin.
At that moment, the front of the airship also suffered a collision, causing it to stop completely.
Ye Feng looked ahead and saw a bald man blocking the airship’s progress with one hand, smiling viciously at him.
“You look pretty handsome, but I hate men who are more handsome than me. So, better hand over all your treasures, and I’ll let you die quickly,” the bald man shouted.
“Using the Law of Destruction might damage things. Let’s use the Law of Sealing instead.” Ye Feng glanced at the six of them, and they felt a cold chill erupt deep in their souls. In an instant, that chill spread from within their souls, turning the five mid-stage Ancestral God warriors into ice statues on the airship’s deck.
The bald man, who was at the peak of the Ancestral God realm, was also covered in ice and trembling, but he hadn’t fully frozen yet. His right hand, which was blocking the airship, had frozen together with it, preventing him from moving. He looked at Ye Feng in terror. The cold sensation had come from deep within his soul, and the waves of chill continued to invade his soul, making him feel utterly powerless.
Ye Feng was slightly surprised by this result. “So that’s how it is. The Ice Heart Technique is a technique that freezes the soul, attacking from within. It’s a pity I’ve only mastered the first level. Otherwise, with the fourth level’s Law of Sealing, I could have killed this guy, who’s only at the third level of that law. But since he practices the Fire Law, it’s no wonder he has some resistance.”
Ye Feng stepped toward the front of the airship. Shentu Zhi’s heart grew heavier. A man who could nearly kill him with just a glance must possess terrifying true strength.
“Don’t kill me… I was just greedy for a moment…” Although Shentu Zhi knew his chances were slim, he still wanted to see if the other party would spare him.

“Third level of the Fire Elemental Law cultivation,” Ye Feng said with a smile. “Your strength is quite good. This divine essence could probably be sold for five billion lower-grade divine crystals.”
Shentu Zhi violently tore off his arm, which had been frozen to the airship, and used his legs to push off the airship, fleeing in the opposite direction. Though this brief moment wasn’t enough to dispel the chill, it at least restored his freedom of movement. Knowing that the opponent wouldn’t let him go easily, he had to go all out if he wanted to survive.
Zong Zheng watched it all. The airship wasn’t very high, but with his vision at the peak of an Ancestral God level, he could still see those late-stage Ancestral God warriors being instantly frozen. Shentu Zhi’s escape confirmed his earlier intuition—that the warriors on that airship were far beyond his match. There was no time to feel regret; he was simply glad he hadn’t followed to participate in this robbery.
Seeing Shentu Zhi flee, he pulled himself back slightly, sticking out just his head to look in the direction the man was running.
“You do have some courage, voluntarily giving up an arm,” a voice suddenly appeared in front of Shentu Zhi, making him stop fleeing immediately.
Seeing the speed of the opponent, Shentu Zhi realized he couldn’t escape. He glanced around and his eyes landed on a statue not far away. A fierce look flashed across his face. “If you want to kill me, I won’t make it easy for you!”
Ye Feng was slightly stunned upon hearing this. He didn’t know what other tricks Shentu Zhi had up his sleeve.
But soon, he saw that the guy had detonated his divine soul—he was planning to commit suicide by explosion.
The self-destruction of a peak Ancestral God warrior wasn’t something to be taken lightly. Ye Feng knew that if the airship were hit by that explosive energy, it would likely be destroyed. He quickly returned to the airship and pressed his hands firmly on it, instantly covering the entire airship in ice and snow.
His true form stood at the bow of the airship, creating a huge ice shield to protect it.
“Boom…” A deafening explosion echoed in Ye Feng’s ears, followed by continuous waves of intense explosions. The entire airship seemed to be caught in a storm, shaking violently. The explosion waves lasted nearly a tea break before gradually subsiding. Only then did Ye Feng melt the ice and snow on the airship. Fortunately, the airship itself was sturdy enough and wasn’t damaged.
Jin, shivering from the cold, stuck his head out from the cabin door.

“It’s already solved,” Ye Feng said as he rushed toward the direction where the bald man had self-destructed, retrieving the fallen divine essence and storage ring.

Jin saw the five ice sculptures and turned to Ye Feng with alarm. “Was that ice and snow your technique?”

“That peak Ancestral God fought himself to death. If we hadn’t used ice and snow to protect this airship, it would have taken us much longer to reach the Peak of Ten Thousand Demons.” Ye Feng knew Jin wanted to ask why he too had been frozen, but didn’t dare ask directly.

“Oh.” Jin stopped asking. He had indeed heard the explosion before being frozen, but the subsequent chill still made him nervous. He had thought the chill was caused by robbers and believed he was doomed.

As Ye Feng melted the bodies of the remaining five people to obtain their divine essences and storage rings, a thunderous roar echoed across the sky.

“Who the hell woke me up from my sleep???”

Ye Feng frowned slightly, quickly throwing all the loot into his storage ring, and kicking the corpses off the airship. Then he stood at the front of the airship and looked toward the source of the voice.

It was a purple giant ape over a hundred zhang tall. The stone layers on its body slowly fell off, and its crimson eyes fixed on Ye Feng. It could sense that the human standing on the airship was a powerful being.

Zong Zheng, who was trying to leave secretly below the Forest of Thousand Needles Stones, couldn’t help but look toward the source of the roar. “Damn it! The Giant Stone Demon Ape has awakened. All creatures in this area are likely to suffer.”

However, he then turned to look at the airship floating in the sky. He clearly saw the warrior who had killed Shentu Zhi standing at the front of the airship, staring at the demon ape from afar.

“Which one is stronger? That demon ape already possessed the fourth level of law mastery a million years ago, and its strength was comparable to that of a warrior who had grasped the fifth level. And that young man easily forced Shentu Zhi to self-destruct—something even those at the fourth level of law mastery couldn’t do…” Zong Zheng struggled with whether to flee or stay. On one hand, he was worried about dying here, as neither of those warriors was someone he could resist. On the other hand, he was eager to witness the battle between the two, as it would bring immense benefits to his own strength. After a moment, he finally made up his mind and rushed toward where they were—he wanted to watch this battle up close.
