Collecting Ten-Thousand-Year Black-Ice Marrow

"It was already starting to feel cold here. Even I was becoming aloof from the cold."

"Looks like the Soul Tools I brought were reliable. They could come in handy at a critical moment."

Thirty meters...

Forty meters...

Fifty meters...

As the depth increased, the chill became increasingly biting.

Affected by it, Xiao Changge gradually slowed down.

Jing Hongchen noticed this, so he moved in front of Xiao Changge and used a Soul Tool to shield him from most of the cold currents.

With Jing Hongchen's help, Xiao Changge felt much better.

After taking a deep breath, he sped up and dived deeper.

A vortex-shaped region of darkness appeared before them.

As he approached the vortex, Jing Hongchen could clearly sense the ice-elemental energy becoming extraordinarily active. Obviously, this was the source of that dense cold aura.

Jing Hongchen did not hesitate.

He suddenly accelerated and plunged into the darkness beneath the vortex.

Seeing this, Xiao Changge followed close behind.

"Splash—"

Suddenly, Xiao Changge felt his body grow light. The next instant, he fell into a deep, pitch-black cave. The cold was even more intense than before, nearly reaching absolute zero!

Like the cave above where the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal had been buried, this cave's entrance was open, yet not a single drop of water flowed inside.

It was like an enormous ice cellar, filled with biting cold.

Their rate of expansion dropped drastically. Ordinary lighting Soul Tools could no longer be activated in this environment.

Xiao Changge then brought out the power of the Heavenly Flames' Sub-Flame, along with all his other Beast Flames. Soon, a beautiful space appeared before them.

Inside the cave stood dozens of strange ice pillars, crisscrossing one another in varying sizes.

Yet every one of them was pure white, as white as jade.
