Icebound!

This pressure was pure and powerful. If there were any Dou Zun or even Dou Sheng Expert from the Ancient Void Dragon Clan here, they would probably all involuntarily bow down before this power originating from their bloodline!

Seeing this undeniable scene, Zhukun trembled with excitement, his voice choked with emotion. "Bloodline resonance—this is the most direct bloodline resonance! There's no mistake!"

Zi Yan stared blankly at the flowing and merging golden light at the point where the two hands were clasped together.

"That's right! I am your father, and you are my daughter!"

Overwhelmed with excitement, Zhukun paced back and forth a few steps before abruptly stopping, staring intently at Zi Yan with his expectant and apprehensive golden eyes.

Seeing that the family reunion was finally a foregone conclusion, Huo Yuhao smiled gently and said softly, "Zi Yan, you should have a good chat with Senior Zhukun first. I'll go check around near the entrance."

After saying that, under the incredibly grateful gaze of Zhukun, Huo Yuhao turned around and slowly walked towards the entrance of the space.

Within the realm of the spirit, the Guardian Mirror's voice carried a hint of relief. "It seems that all the backup plans you laid out along the way, Huo Yuhao, will be useless this time."

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, "That would be best—"

However, before he could finish speaking—

Huo Yuhao's smile froze instantly, and his expression changed drastically!

"What's wrong?!" The Guardian Mirror noticed the change in his expression.

"My avatar in the Jia Ma Empire —has been destroyed!"

Huo Yuhao didn't even turn around to explain a word to Zhukun and Zi Yan, who were recognizing each other!

Huo Yuhao pressed his hand against the Guardian Mirror hanging from his hair, activating its power.

A gigantic mirror appeared behind him, its surface shimmering and spinning wildly at an unprecedented speed!

At the same time, the four spatial nodes he had carefully arranged along the way were simultaneously activated remotely, and the powerful spatial energy began to fluctuate violently!

"Huo Yuhao, you----?"

Zi Yan and Zhukun, who were trying to talk to each other, were both drawn to this sudden turn of events, but before they could even ask their questions...

With a flash of intense silver light, Huo Yuhao's figure had completely vanished from the space of this Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion.

All that remained were the ripples in the air, and the bewildered father and daughter staring at each other.

Within the void interlayer.

The silver light on Huo Yuhao's body flickered intensely as he pressed his hands firmly against the surface of the Guardian Mirror, veins bulging on the back of his hands. "Mirror, isn't it here yet?!"

The Guardian Mirror spoke at lightning speed, its voice resonating directly within Huo Yuhao's soul through the mental link.

"There's no way around it, the distance is too far, and without your clone, I'd need to spend time pinpointing the exact location."

I was too careless! This world is far more dangerous than I imagined! Anxiety and fear gnawed at Huo Yuhao's heart.

He frantically squeezed every last drop of energy out of his body.

Whether it was divine sense, Dou Qi, or Heart Force, they were all poured out at this moment to drive the spatial energy.

How much longer?!

The silver light on the surface of the Guardian Mirror surged, and the mirror itself trembled violently. The void layer of this Northwestern Continent was even distorted by the impact.

"At least another half minute!"

Not enough, too slow! Huo Yuhao's temples were already soaked with cold sweat.

It's been an unknown amount of time since the Divine Sense Clone was destroyed, perhaps...

Huo Yuhao didn't think about it anymore.

Boom!

Without any hesitation, at this moment, Huo Yuhao once again ignited the entire Spiritual Sea!

This feeling, both distant and familiar, as if one's entire soul were being scorched in a furnace, washed over them.

Huo Yuhao ignored it and immediately manipulated the surge of violent power to draw upon the spatial power of a wider area, channeling it into the Guardian Mirror.

That's not enough! Huo Yuhao steeled his heart and drained all the Dou Qi in his Qi Sea, filling it all into his spiritual world to fuel his Spiritual Fire.

Perhaps this reckless act triggered some kind of unforeseen event.

The Spiritual Fire that gradually seeped out from within his body miraculously ignited the spatial energy surrounding Huo Yuhao as well!

Tiny golden flames suddenly appeared within the silvery spatial energy.

In an instant, all the spatial energy around Huo Yuhao and the Guardian Mirror was transformed into a leaping golden sea of fire!

This feeling was extremely strange; this void interlayer seemed to have become blurred, and a hazy halo filled Huo Yuhao's entire field of vision.

In the darkness, there seemed to be the sound of flowing water brushing past my ears, or perhaps the sound of gears turning.

Call-!

Huo Yuhao took a breath.

The next moment, everything around them became clear.

Huo Yuhao and the Guardian Mirror were astonished to find that the void traversal, which should have taken a little longer, was completed in an instant.

They have arrived at the spatial interlayer above the Misty Cloud Sect.

There was simply no time for Huo Yuhao to be surprised or to ponder this unbelievable change.

His gaze pierced through the spatial barrier, instantly locking onto the scene below the Misty Cloud Sect: Xiao Yi Xian, who was trapped in mid-air by spatial power, and Gu He, whose internal Dou Qi was reversing and was about to self-destruct.

The fates of Yao Chen and Xiao Yan are still unknown!

"!"

Huo Yuhao's body transformed into a golden streak of light, crashing headlong into the direction of the Misty Cloud Sect below without hesitation.

Strangely, the barrier between these spatial layers suddenly became exceptionally fragile. Before Huo Yuhao's body could even make contact with it, the spatial barrier shattered into fragments that shimmered with silver light.

Huo Yuhao, whose body was still burning with golden flames, crashed down like a meteorite.

"The Domain of Eternal Frost!!!"

The extreme ice tide, burning with golden flames, swept across the surrounding area in an instant.

However, their diffusion methods are illogical.

The Xiao Yi Xian, who was suspended in the air, Gu He, who was about to self-destruct, and Xiao Yan, who was flying out of Misty Cloud Mountain, were all frozen at the same time.

"That kid—isn't dead!"

Faced with the sudden change, Venerable Mu Gu and Elder Xue immediately raised their Dou Qi, preparing to suppress Huo Yuhao.

But when the cold wave swept past them—

Despite their Dou Zun strength, they weren't directly Ice Seal like the others. However, neither of them noticed that their movements were getting slower and slower until they stopped moving altogether.

A very faint layer of golden flames was burning on their bodies.

Apart from the two of them, all living beings on Misty Cloud Mountain, from flowers, birds, fish, and insects to Yun Shan and the Vulture Protector, were covered in a layer of ice.

The whole world seemed to have been put on pause!

Ignoring these strange sights, Huo Yuhao swiftly moved, sending Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Yan, and Gu He— whose condition had temporarily stopped due to being frozen—out of the Misty Cloud Mountain area and placing them in a relatively safe place.

After doing all this, Huo Yuhao's thoughts spread out, and he instantly gained control of the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi of the entire Misty Cloud Mountain.

"We don't have time to waste on them; we must ensure a fatal blow."

Huo Yuhao's eyes narrowed, and the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi under his control quickly transformed into spiritual seals.

At that moment, all the energy in Huo Yuhao's body was burned up, and even the seedling of his Heart Force withered completely.

The golden flames burning on his body also vanished without a trace.

At the same time, the golden flames enveloping Venerable Mu Gu and Elder Xue also went out.

The two, who had resumed their actions, were unaware of what had happened; they only saw Xiao Yi Xian and the others suddenly disappear.

"What happened?"

Just as doubts began to arise in their minds...

"Rise!"

A sharp shout interrupted their thoughts.

Around them, an endless array of "fireflies" began to twinkle.

This was the last scene they would see in this world.
