Kill Them All, Explore the Ancestral Court!
The matter has come to this point, and the outcome is already decided.
Jintong and Nether Thunder Ghost King joined forces and also killed several Demon King. The situation seemed to have no chance of turning the tide. When more than half of the twenty-seven Demon King had perished in battle...
Of the remaining thirteen Demon King Demon King, four immediately fled!
The remaining nine Demon King, seeing the situation crumbling, knew there was no way to reverse it. Soon, three more Demon King, because they contained some dragon blood...
Ultimately, he surrendered to Jintong and agreed to become his subject.
As for the last six Demon King, they naturally had no chance of survival...
Those with a bit of integrity would have self-destructed on the spot, but unfortunately, Qin Zheng and the others were exceptionally powerful. Although the self-destruction was powerful, it still posed no threat to the Peak Core Formation!
Those who were more afraid of death, seeing no hope left, immediately knelt down, willing to submit and surrender, just to survive in this world, as long as they could live...
No matter how humble, I will not tremble!
It's a pity that Qin Zheng wasn't entirely benevolent; Jintong was only willing to accept the surrender of the three Demon King because of the dragon blood...
They didn't really want to submit; they just knew they were going to die!
Now that they can't run away and have no other choice, they want to surrender to save their lives. But there's no such thing as a free lunch. Qin Zheng is the first to disagree!
As the battle continued, all the Demon King eventually perished...
Only the Frost Spirit Demon King remained, his limbs severed, his three eyes gouged out, and his bones shattered.
Qin Zheng didn't ask for information, because he knew that from beginning to end, only the Frost Spirit Demon King had the most unwavering will...
Getting him to speak is practically impossible.
Qin Zheng, naturally too lazy to waste any more words, simply gestured, and the Soul Frost Ghost King grabbed the Frost Spirit Demon's head...
Then came the soul-searching and spirit-refining process!
The Soul Frost Ghost King only stopped when the soul was completely shattered, then devoured the remaining fragments of the soul without wasting a single drop...
"It has been confirmed that this is the Ice and Snow Ancestral Court."
"Among these Demon King, some were secretly guided by the Demon King Frost Ancestor to this place to escape disaster..."
"The other group of Demon King are those who have broken through to higher levels in this ancestral temple in recent years."
"The ancestral court is divided into three layers. We are currently in the outermost layer, which is also where these Demon King and their races live..."
"Its area is enormous, spanning hundreds of millions of square kilometers. The area of this first level is equivalent to the total area of Seventh Heaven!"
"The middle layer of the three levels is the burial ground for the Nascent Soul experts of the Ice and Snow Demon Race throughout history, and also the place where the Ice and Snow Demon Race inherits its legacy..."
"Only those who Core Formation stage can open the portal to the second level."
"As for the third level, it is currently unknown. According to my memories, entering the third level requires a Nascent Soul level expert..."
The Frost Soul Ghost King shared the memories he had read with Qin Zheng, who then pondered for a moment before looking up at the sky...
Qin Zheng was very curious about this so-called ancestral temple.
What kind of existence is it exactly? Is it a Spirit Ascension Secret Realm, or a Grotto-Heaven world like the Profound Water Grotto-Heaven?
What do you think?
As Qin Zheng inquired, his armor detached, transforming him into human form, while the Nether Thunder Ghost King sheathed his longbow...
After observing the surroundings silently, he finally responded:
"This Dao Law, with as many as thirteen long Great Dao Long River, almost covering all known branches of Great Dao of Ice and Snow..."
"This quantity is comparable to Grotto-Heaven."
"But the difference between Grotto-Heaven and a secret realm is not merely the number of Great Daos; they are fundamentally two completely different things..."
"The Grotto-Heaven are the origin of the Great Dao, and the secret realms are the dwelling places of living beings."
"This place is vast and rich in resources, teeming with life; it must be an extremely well-developed Spirit Ascension Secret Realm, and it must be very ancient..."
After the Nether Thunder Ghost King finished speaking, the Soul Frost Ghost King picked up the conversation and said:
"Young Master, now that we've discovered the Ancestral Court, should we return to regroup, or continue our exploration? The Ancestral Court is of utmost importance..."
"Should we inform the master first?"
Upon hearing this—
After a brief moment of thought, Qin Zheng made a decision: when in doubt, it's best to take a wait-and-see approach first; they could handle this first layer of threat...
That might not necessarily solve the problems that follow.
The second and third floors were clearly not places they could easily venture into...
There may be great fortuitous opportunity, but it's always better to play it safe. Besides, their cultivation is shallow and their vision is limited, so they are afraid of wasting or missing out on opportunities.
The fortuitous opportunity was too great; even these younger generations couldn't seize it...
Let's ask our clan for help.
"This place is vast, and we won't be able to achieve anything significant in a short time..."
"Finding the ancestral temple and annihilating the twenty-seven Demon King is quite an achievement. Nether Thunder, Jintong, and Soul Frost, you will remain here for the time being."
"Flower Princess and I will go out and deliver the message first."
As he spoke--
Qin Zheng then returned to search for the exit, only to discover that the path he had come from had vanished without a trace...
It's like being trapped in a bubble; they can get in, but they can't get out!
This discovery immediately darkened Qin Zheng's face. He continuously sensed the surrounding world, but found no exit whatsoever...
Everyone noticed Qin Zheng's expression and, sensing it, exchanged speechless glances.
Core Formation Cultivator cannot tear apart space, unlike Nascent Soul Cultivator who can forcibly break through a secret realm, especially one with extremely high integrity— Spirit Ascension Secret Realm...
The higher the integrity of the Spirit Ascension Secret Realm, the more stable the space.
Like the Ancestral Court, Spirit Ascension Secret Realm containing thirteen major Daos related to ice and snow, even Nascent Soul Cultivator attempting to carve a passage through it...
It would probably take a lot of effort, let alone for Core Formation Cultivator.
"Young Master..."
"Us?"
Qin Zheng did not turn around, but after a moment's thought, he gave the order:
"Continue to delve deeper."
"Since we can enter this realm, there must be a way out; it's just that we haven't found the method yet..."
"Keep going deeper, and sooner or later we'll find the exit."
With Qin Zheng having made up his mind, everyone felt reassured. In dangerous situations, the worst thing to do is to lose your composure...
They're just trapped; given enough time, their Lineage will surely realize something's wrong.
When that time comes, the Nascent Soul in the clan will naturally come to the rescue.
However, it seems that this ancestral temple is probably a trap, a trap set for intruders who have entered this place. If it weren't for the formidable strength of Qin Zheng and his companions...
Five people can fight against twenty-seven Demon King!
If it were an ordinary force, they would probably have been wiped out by the twenty-seven Demon King as soon as they stepped into this ancestral court. This is clearly a trap!
Thinking about this deeper meaning.
Qin Zheng felt a chill run down his spine. If this was a counterattack from the Ice and Snow Demon Race, what kind of terror might be hidden in the second and third layers?
Could it be that--
Is there still an unborn Demon Emperor hidden within this Ice and Snow Demon Race?
Or perhaps some Nascent Soul technique remains?
The more Qin Zheng thought about it, the more wary he became, but he couldn't retreat and was forced to move forward, clutching only a jade pendant...
Qin Zheng felt slightly relieved.
Qin Minghan is protected by Qin Lu's soul imprint, and Qin Zheng is no exception, even the three Nascent Soul Nascent Soul currently existing in the Qin Clan...
They all left behind life-saving measures on them!
Even if one were to face a Nascent Soul, their life would be secure, but they would pose no real threat to Qin Zheng...
What's truly worrying is that this ancestral temple has a long history, existing for at least 100,000 years, and back then...
The ancestors of the Ice and Snow Demon Race were genuine Purple Void Demon Immortals!
If there were any remaining Spirit Transformation stage techniques or relics left by immortals, Qin Zheng's backup plans might not be enough to protect him...
