Ice Empress turned around abruptly, his eyes burning with a fierce desire:
"We have to go in. The Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow must be inside. As long as we get it, the Snow Empress and I will never have to worry again. Relying on these, the Snow Empress will probably be able to get infinitely close to the Di Tian's realm."
Snow Empress nodded gently, a rare hint of anticipation appearing in her eyes.
Di Qiu'er frowned slightly:
"But since this is the secret realm of the Earth Dragon Sect, it's probably not that simple."
"There's nothing here, don't worry. Let's go, everything inside is ours."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped forward and walked deeper into the cave.
The three women exchanged a glance and followed closely behind.
Deeper into the cave, the chill intensifies, and the density of the ice crystals increases, even forming Tianran ice pillars and curtains, resembling an ice palace.
And at the end of the passage.
A deep blue light flowed serenely, like the deep sea.
The deep blue light flowing within the cave, like a frozen galaxy, is the Core Zone where the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow was nurtured.
Under the almost greedy guidance of Ice Empress and the precise control of Snow Empress's icy energy, the four worked together seamlessly and with astonishing efficiency.
Countless crystals containing extreme icy energy were carefully and swiftly peeled off from the ice walls and pillars.
Ice Empress's eyes gleamed with an almost tangible fanaticism, and his fingertips trembled slightly with each stroke of the ice crystals.
"Perfect... absolutely perfect! This energy... is enough for me and Snow Empress to be reborn!"
Although the Snow Empress remained silent, the surging cold light around him became noticeably more active and profound, clearly indicating that he was also experiencing great excitement.
Di Qiu'er was on guard duty, her crimson eyes scanning the damaged ice crystal structure, and she sighed softly:
"The spiritual essence of this place will likely never be restored in a thousand years."
She wasn't being old-fashioned; it was just that her instincts Auspicious Beast made her feel a little regretful towards the rare creatures of heaven and earth.
Toji was the fastest. He didn't need any precise operations; he simply used his terrifying strength and accurate control to break off large chunks of Profound Ice Marrow along with the ice rock beneath it and stuff them directly into his Storage Soul Tool.
His idea was unusually simple and crude:
Leave nothing behind!
Who knows if that kid named Huo Yuhao will get lucky and stumble upon this place someday.
Rather than letting someone else benefit, it's better to keep everything for yourself.
Damaging the environment?
Ha, on the path to becoming a stronger Soul Master, who hasn't climbed up by stepping on rare and precious treasures?
It's just that he went a little too far.
If he chooses to keep some, wouldn't Huo Yuhao eventually mine the last remaining Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow when he comes here?
It's going to damage the natural environment anyway; it's just a matter of whether it's him or someone else doing it.
When the last piece of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, radiating a dreamy blue light, disappeared into the light of the Storage Soul Tool, the entire cave seemed to dim instantly. Having lost its core light source, it was left with only the faint cold light reflected by the ice crystals, making it appear exceptionally desolate.
"Let's go." Toji a second thought, he turned and left.
The Ice Empress and the Snow Empress took one last look at the looted treasure land before quickly following.
Di Qiu'er shook her head and was the last to leave.
Upon returning to the surface, the four continued to choose to remain discreet and stealthy.
With their formidable strength Di Qiu'er's perception, they easily evaded the potential vigilance of the Earth Dragon Sect, avoided unnecessary conflict, and quietly left Dragon City, speeding towards the heart of the Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City.
In Heaven Dou City, the aftershocks of the Shrek Academy's destruction have not yet completely subsided, and people on the streets are still discussing it.
Clearly, news of the Shrek Academy's destruction has reached this place.
Of course, Toji also learned that the Sun Moon Empire might have already learned of the destruction of the Shrek Academy and had begun a full-scale war against the Douluo Continent.
However, for some unknown reason, the Sun Moon Empire did not dare to launch a war against the Heaven Dou Empire.
Is it true that the culprit behind the Destruction of the Shrek Academy was the Body Sect?
That's why they dare not launch a war against the Heaven Dou Empire, the stronghold of the Body Sect?
Toji shook his head and chuckled, indicating that his reluctance was only temporary.
Once they're ready, they might just conquer the Heaven Dou Empire.
Toji and his group entered Heaven Dou City and returned to their exclusive base.
Not long after they stepped into the base, a beautiful figure, filled with eagerness and joy, rushed over like a swallow returning to its nest.
Zhang Lexuan's beautiful face was filled with worry and relief. Ignoring the stares of those around her, she buried her face in Toji's arms, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist, her voice trembling with a sob:
"Thank you, thank you so much. You were seriously injured while rescuing my father and me. Although your teacher assured me that everything would be alright, I was still very worried..."
He was Toji taken aback as he held her in his arms, then naturally pulled her closer, feeling her body tremble slightly, and a rare warmth rose in his heart.
He patted her back, comforting her.
"I'm very resilient; my minor injury healed long ago. But you, have you taken care of your aunt and uncle?"
"Mmm." Zhang Lexuan nodded vigorously, raised her head, her eyes slightly red but with a bright smile. Not far behind her, her parents walked quickly towards her.
Father Zhang looked at Toji eyes full of gratitude and lingering fear, while Mother Zhang was so moved that her eyes were brimming with tears.
" Toji, I cannot express my gratitude enough." Father Zhang bowed deeply, his voice trembling with the shock of surviving a calamity. "If it weren't for your life-risking rescue, Zhang Lexuan and I would probably have spent our lives in that filthy Shrek prison. Who could have imagined that the continent's number one academy would be so utterly despicable!"
Mother Zhang nodded repeatedly, looking at Toji as if she were looking at her savior:
"Yes, yes, Lexuan told us everything. You faced so many Titled Douluo alone to save them, it's really... really..."
She was so excited that she became somewhat incoherent.
Toji released Zhang Lexuan, and in response to the two elders' gratitude, simply waved his hand casually:
"You two are too kind. It was only right that I save her. As for Shrek..."
A cold, sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
"Those who do evil will not escape punishment. Now that it's all history, you don't need to worry about it anymore."
"Good riddance! Good riddance!" Father Zhang exclaimed repeatedly, his tone filled with satisfaction.
The Destruction of Shrek was a cathartic relief for them, like a huge weight being crushed in their hearts.
Just then, a booming voice, filled with urgency and ecstasy, rang out from the other end of the street:
"You brat! You really were here!"
A burly figure in dark green rushed in like a cannonball, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air. It was none other than the Sect Master of the Body Sect, Du Busi.
This powerful figure at the Super Douluo level had lost all trace of his usual majesty and domineering aura; only pure concern and overwhelming joy at seeing his disciple safe and sound remained on his face.
He rushed forward, his large, fan-like hands suddenly opening wide, giving Toji no chance to react, and grabbed him tightly in a hug.
