Chapter 0948: Arrival of the Ice Sea Palace Master

After defeating the three, the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron swept through. The Yellow Dragon absorbed their divine bodies and spatial artifacts into the sacred cauldron. Ao Feng and Ao Xue roared in fury upon seeing the three killed instantly, but at that moment, the Golden God struck them with another punch. They could only hurriedly block the Golden God’s blow. By then, the Yellow Dragon, having used the sacred cauldron, had already gone far away.
“Kill him! We must kill this thief!”
“I’ll inform the palace master and the two vice-palace masters right away!”
Ao Feng’s eyes turned blood-red as green winds around him transformed into wind blades as he shouted.
“Everyone, this is the person the Ice Sea Palace is offering a bounty for capture. Whoever captures him will receive 40,000 first-class spiritual veins from our palace!” Ao Xue’s voice followed.
40,000 first-class spiritual veins! This indeed made the powerful beings around them eyes gleam with desire. However, recalling how the three Ice Sea Palace envoys had been killed in a single strike, no one dared to step forward to stop them. Though spiritual veins were tempting, they required a life in exchange. Most of these powerful beings were God Kings or one or two era-arc demi-gods. After the Yellow Dragon absorbed the three envoys’ divine bodies into the sacred cauldron, it used the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron array to refine those bodies, allowing Huang Yi and his nineteen companions to absorb them. Those three belonged to seven eras, and for the current Yellow Dragon, even if he consumed them, the benefit would be minimal. Thus, it was better to let Huang Yi and his group absorb them to help them advance. As Huang Yi and his nineteen companions continuously absorbed the three’s life force, essence, and laws of the universe, they successively triggered the Catastrophe of Destruction. All of them broke through and advanced! They reached the second era! Yet, they continued to improve further—reaching the peak of the early second era, then the mid-stage of the second era, and finally the peak of the late second era! With a hum, they triggered the Catastrophe of Destruction once again! Only after Huang Yi and his nineteen companions had all broken through three eras and reached the peak of the early third era was the three’s divine bodies, life force, essence, and laws of the universe completely refined. All nineteen of them advanced to the third era, their strength greatly increased. By channeling their power into the Yellow Dragon through the sacred cauldron array, the cauldron’s speed increased significantly. Coupled with the Yellow Dragon periodically activating the Eighteen Golden God Annihilation Array to summon the Golden Gods to strike the two opponents, their speed was hindered, and they were gradually pulled further behind by the Yellow Dragon. Half a day later, as the Yellow Dragon seemed about to vanish from their sight, the two grew desperate and furious. As powerful beings of ten eras, they couldn’t even jointly chase down an eight-era-arc demi-god—this would be a source of ridicule throughout the Heavy God Space.

Huang Long sensed the angry auras of the two behind him and couldn’t help but sneer. This time, when he left, he would turn every branch of the Ice Sea Palace upside down before satisfying his hatred! But just then, Huang Long suddenly felt a sense of danger. He urged the Golden God to punch fiercely at the void ahead. As the golden fist was thrown, a white flame suddenly appeared in the void, rushing toward it. With a “zzz” sound, it burned away the golden fist mark! Then, a hand as crystal clear as white jade suddenly slapped the Golden God, causing it to explode and vanish into the void. Hit by the residual force, the Sacred Cauldron of Heaven and Earth trembled violently and flew back. Inside the sacred cauldron, Huang Long and the others were struck hard, their bodies shaking violently. Except for the Half-Saint, all those peak-stage Divine Kings collapsed to the ground, spewing blood. Huang Long was shocked. Looking ahead, he saw a woman slowly emerging from the void—a woman of extreme beauty. She wore a robe of the Ice Phoenix, exuding an aura that surpassed even the gods. “Palace Master!” Ao Feng and Ao Xue exclaimed in delight from behind. Palace Master?! Huang Long and the others trembled. Huang Long never expected the woman before him to be Leng Feng, the master of the Ice Sea Palace! At the same time, his heart sank to the bottom. The master of the Ice Sea Palace, along with eleven peak-stage warriors from the later eras! Even if Huang Long had now broken through eight eras and his true body had risen to a mid-tier Great Path Divine Artifact, with the Chaos Bell and the Sacred Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, he still couldn’t withstand them! The gap between the early stages of eight eras and the peak stages of eleven eras was simply too vast! Ao Feng and Ao Xue rushed forward to pay their respects, then stepped back behind Leng Feng. With the Palace Master personally involved, this mission was foolproof! They stared at Huang Long with murderous intent in their eyes. “You’re quite bold, daring to kill an envoy of my Ice Sea Palace!” Leng Feng said slowly. “And you even dared to kidnap my daughter!” A sharp glint appeared in her eyes as she spoke. Although they were inside the sacred cauldron, Huang Long felt as if she could see through him. “So this is the Sacred Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, ranked 38th among Great Path Divine Artifacts? And it also seals the Eighteen Golden Gods’ Annihilation Formation!” Leng Feng continued. “But even with the Sacred Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, killing you would be effortless for me! If you release my daughter and join our Ice Sea Palace to serve us, I’ll overlook your past mistakes and even promote you to a high-ranking envoy as an exception!” “Palace Master, you—!” Ao Feng and Ao Xue stared in disbelief at their Palace Master, Leng Feng.

Leng Feng raised her hand and said, “There’s no need to say more!”
Huang Long, on the other hand, watched everything coldly.
Join the Ice Sea Palace and serve it? Huang Long sneered.
The idea of Leng Feng, the master of the Ice Sea Palace, wasn’t bad. Although they had lost five messengers from the Qingming faction this time, Huang Long alone was worth many times more than those five.
Moreover, once Huang Long joined the Ice Sea Palace and released Leng Yue, his life and death would be entirely in the hands of the other party—they could do whatever they wanted to him.
The Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron and the Chaos Bell would surely be taken away!
“What do you think? A high-ranking envoy of the Ice Sea Palace can only be held by ten powerhouses from different eras. Each such envoy can use the spiritual veins in the Ice Sea Palace’s treasure vault at will to cultivate with pills, while also enjoying supreme power!” Leng Feng said calmly.
By her words, this seemed like a gift from heaven!
But upon reflection, it was indeed tempting. In this way, Huang Long could not only survive but also become a high-ranking envoy of the Ice Sea Palace, something that countless powerhouses in the Heavy God Space dreamed of.
“A high-ranking envoy of the Ice Sea Palace?” Huang Long replied indifferently, channeling his magical energy throughout his body.
“Exactly!” Leng Feng said.
At that moment, the massive array of the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron suddenly activated, instantly breaking through space and disappearing.
“Hmph!” Seeing this, Leng Feng snorted coldly. She stretched out her hands, freezing space layer by layer. The fleeing Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron was frozen in place.
Huang Long was shocked. No matter how hard he tried to activate the array, he couldn’t break through these layers of ice.
In a flash, Leng Feng arrived in front of the sacred cauldron.
“I’m giving you a chance. Since you don’t cherish it, don’t blame me!” Leng Feng said. With a slap in the void, she froze the three thousand Hongmeng Divine Beasts inside the cauldron, trapping them there. With a single grab, she pulled Leng Yue out of the cauldron.
