Sha

Deep in the ice field.

Compared to the entrance to the ice field, this place feels more desolate and colder.

Lin Xin Tong had no idea how far she had walked. She kept walking forward, step by step, and the footprints she left behind would disappear in the blink of an eye.

Beneath my feet lies a deep blue glacier, covered with thick snow, while before me howls the snowstorm. This vast ice field seems to stretch on forever.

In this despairing world, she was like a lonely snow lotus, swaying in the howling wind. The traces of her existence were gradually erased, as if she were being swallowed up by the icy plain.

Her vital energy had been almost completely depleted, leaving only a tiny bit, like a candle flame guarding the night. A layer of crystal-clear frost had formed on her eyelashes, neck, and the fingers gripping the sword.

These frosts did not originate from the ice field, but rather were produced within her body after her innate, uncontrollable Fatal Meridian became too powerful to suppress.

Besides the surface of her body, her internal organs, meridians, and blood vessels also began to Ice Crystal.

However, Lin Xin Tong continued walking forward, her bright eyes revealing a detached indifference to life and death.

Lin Xin Tong is determined to restore her innate, Fatal Meridian. No matter the fear, pain, death, or despair, nothing can stop her, even if her path to life has been severed.

Just as the White-robed woman said, when Lin Xin Tong made up her mind, the sword was already in her heart.

By this time, Lin Xin Tong had been walking for a long time. Relying only on her last bit of vital energy, Lin Xin Tong and continued to trace the path once taken by the Ancient Empress. This distance had far exceeded the White-robed woman's expectations, and it was still continuing.

Sometimes, the power of will can help people surpass their limits and transcend themselves.

If things continue like this, no one knows how far Lin Xin Tong can go.

The gale continued to howl, as if countless spinning knives were cutting into her body. Lin Xin Tong walked alone, the vast icy plain engulfing her thin, frail figure in the wind and snow...

Just then, a faint figure slowly appeared in the snow behind Lin Xin Tong.

This figure was much faster than Lin Xin Tong. He was silent, and the cold wind on the icy plain could pass through his body without any hindrance. His existence was like that of a formless ghost...

"Found her... she really is here." The figure's eyes were fixed on Lin Xin Tong's back. He concealed all his presence, making him completely undetectable.

He was actually the dark-skinned boy who was supposed to be killed by the White-robed woman.

The White-robed woman's final attack utilized the power sealed within the God Descending Tower by the Ancient Empress. Such an attack was naturally beyond the dark-skinned youth's ability to withstand. However, the White-robed woman's primary target was the enormous eye beneath the God Burying Abyss, which was also what the dark-skinned youth referred to as the Divine Lord.

The dark-skinned youth was merely caught in the crossfire; his physical body was shattered, but his soul and will remained intact even after his physical destruction—something the White-robed woman had never anticipated.

The White-robed woman thought she had killed the dark-skinned boy. Because she was about to fall into a deep sleep, she was worried about Lin Xin Tong's life. Before falling asleep, she made her final arrangements for Lin Xin Tong and asked Yi Yun to come and save Lin Xin Tong. However, while she was making these Lin Xin Tong, she inadvertently revealed Lin Xin Tong's location to the dark-skinned boy.

The dark-skinned boy's soul followed the clues and found Lin Xin Tong.

"You vile woman, you think you've annihilated me, body and soul? My soul has already been refined by the Divine Lord. As long as my physical body dies, my soul will automatically generate Yin Sha! Although I've lost my physical body, my spiritual power remains. Now that you're asleep, this God Descending Tower has lost its protective power. I will take back this God Descending Tower, return to the God Burying Abyss, and have the Divine Lord reshape my physical body!"

"As for... this girl named Lin Xin Tong... hehe!" The Yin Sha phantom looked at Lin Xin Tong, a greedy glint in its eyes. "She has Pure Yin Body, which is a great tonic for my Yin Sha body. However... I cannot devour her flesh and blood now. I need a physical body to carry out my plan. Although this is a female body, it's fine if it's only for temporary use! I will Body Snatching her body, and later, when the Divine Lord reshapes a body for me, I will devour her flesh and blood as a tonic for my Yin Sha soul."

The dark-skinned youth muttered to himself, recalling the White-robed woman had destroyed his body. A venomous glint flashed in his eyes. "You vile woman, you destroyed my body, so I'll make your carefully chosen successor my blood offering, and ensure your master's lineage ends here!"

The dark-skinned youth slowly approached Lin Xin Tong, his eyes filled with growing greed.

He would start with Lin Xin Tong, gradually devouring all the trial participants in the God Descending Tower, absorbing all their flesh and blood. These prodigies were the best food for the Yin Sha Soul; devouring them would greatly enhance his own power.

With the power, and once the remaining energy of the God Descending Tower completely exhausted, he can do whatever he wants with it!

Thinking of all this, a sinister smile crept across the dark-skinned youth's lips. This plan seemed absolutely perfect!

The dark-skinned youth drew closer to Lin Xin Tong, intending to pounce on Lin Xin Tong from behind and erase Lin Xin Tong consciousness. However, just as he was about to launch his attack, he suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold, as if an invisible sword was pointed at his brow, forcing him to stop.

The sharp Sword Qi made his hair stand on end and his soul feel a stinging pain!

Hmm? This is...

The dark-skinned boy discovered that the girl's willpower was stronger than he had imagined; the Sword Intent he sensed was actually Lin Xin Tong's powerful will.

How could a girl who was already exhausted and seemed about to collapse at any moment possess such a strong will?

In the dark-skinned youth's perception, the girl before him, his soul sea, was like an icy moon hanging above the icy plains, gentle yet radiating an eternal brilliance.

How could a young girl with a cultivation level of only the Dao Seed Realm possess such willpower?

Now that he has lost his physical body, he has also lost his ability to attack, and even his soul has been severely damaged.

All he could rely on was his willpower. His possession Body Snatching Lin Xin Tong's body was also a contest of willpower. Facing this clearly weak girl, the dark-skinned boy felt a little guilty for a moment. He felt that if he really fought, he probably wouldn't be a match for this girl.

In that case, not only would he fail to Body Snatching the body, but he would also be driven away and killed! (To be continued~^~)
