Lian Luo was never worried that he would not be able to escape this Ice Prison Star.

"Hmph, since my birth, except for those the leader remembers, none have ever escaped from this Ice Prison!"

Talasha's Lian Luo were just empty talk.

At this moment, Lian Luo looked at the approaching Ice Prison and said quietly, "If it's just a matter of being imprisoned for a few epochs, there's no need to ask a teacher for help."

Although Lian Luo could ask Qie Qiong to save him, he felt it was extremely shameful to be forced to ask his teacher for help.

He hoped that, in his journey to becoming Universe Powerhouse, he would never have to ask his teacher for help.

Moreover, this is when one's life is threatened.

Talasha and two others Lian Luo to the front of the Ice Prison.

"Human," the Lian Luo by Qing Kou sneered, "Your strength is not bad, but the weakest person imprisoned in the Ice Prison back then was King Level Immortal. Without that kind of strength, the leader wouldn't bother imprisoning these Alien Races in the Ice Prison. Moreover, over the long years, as long as they haven't died, their strength has improved. If you're afraid, you might as well self-destruct. The darkness and madness inside are not something you can withstand."

"Oh, that's something to look forward to," Lian Luo smiled.

Lian Luo was known as the Blood-Robed King on the Outer Domain Battlefield, not only because of the secret techniques he created, but also because of his personality and behavior.

Hearing this, Talasha said nothing more and casually tossed it aside, "Your license plate."

It was a purplish-blue number plate, with numbers written in the common language of the Demon Race before the number plate.

This is also the main reason why Lian Luo can understand Kou's speech; they are Special Lifeform form that speaks the common language of the Demon Race.

Lian Luo took the number plate.

"Go in." Qing Kou suddenly pushed Lian Luo.

Call!

Lian Luo was directly pushed towards the Ice Prison. When she was still hundreds of kilometers away from the Ice Prison, a terrifying and powerful suction force enveloped Lian Luo.

Lian Luo in this devouring power and did not resist. She was directly sucked into the dark cave in the Ice Prison that had already cracked open.

The caves were layered one on top of another, like the blades of a fan.

"Not bad, he didn't resist." The Qing Kou looked at Lian Luo coldly, with some regret.

He had originally planned to take advantage of the human powerhouse's resistance and ask Talasha, who was standing nearby, to kill him and avenge the three sword wounds.

Surprisingly, he didn't resist.

As for why we don't act now...

This person was, after all, imprisoned on the orders of the chief himself. Although their relationship with the chief was not as hierarchical as that of normal tribes, he could not take action as long as this person did not resist.

"Boom!" The fan blades closed, one layer after another.

The enormous ice pillar was restored to its original state.

From then on -

Lian Luo was then imprisoned in the Ice Prison.

"Hmph, enjoy yourself, human." The blue- Dou Kou sneered. "Talasha, I'm going back now."

"Okay, let's go."

Inside the Ice Prison is a vast, endless world of ice and snow.

"Whoosh!" After Lian Luo was sucked in, he felt a terrifying pressure trying to freeze him in place.

Lian Luo's armor shone with a layer of light, stubbornly withstanding the suppressive force, and steadily hovered in the void, overlooking this endless icy and snowy land.

"This is the Ice Prison?" Lian Luo around, then took out the Virtual Universe Sensor and entered the Virtual Universe. "Sure enough, I can connect to anywhere in the universe— the Virtual Universe."

Lian Luo didn't know was that the Virtual Universe was a secret technique created by the Original Ancestor, the strongest being of the Human Race, to seize control of the Primal Universe. During the process of seizing control, the Primordial Universe also incorporated its own power, making the Virtual Universe ubiquitous except in extremely special places and areas shrouded by the will of the Universe Supreme Master. It was the same even among treasures and Supreme Treasures!

For the two Universe Venerables of the Kou Clan to want to block the Human Race's Virtual Universe is nothing but a pipe dream.

"That Venerable Qing Kou imprisoned me in the Ice Prison. Is he just going to keep me locked up like this for a long time? It can't be that simple, can it? Besides, those two bandits said that quite a few of the powerful people who came in went mad and committed suicide."

Lian Luo slowly descended from mid-air, landing on the snow. "Let me see for myself if this Ice Prison is really as terrifying as the Legend."

For the two Universe Venerables of the Kou Clan, they generally wouldn't capture the strongest members of peak-level races, since these races were not Universe Venerable they could afford to offend.

Even if they could rival a first-tier Universe Master, it wouldn't be enough!

This has resulted in very little information about this place in the Virtual Universe; at least Lian Luo couldn't find any, only some Legends.

Lian Luo walked step by step through the snow without concealing himself, eventually attracting the attention of a powerful figure from the Ice Prison.

"These footprints belong to a powerful Human Race?"

"Humans have actually been imprisoned here?" A figure engulfed in flames landed on the snow, but strangely, his flames did not melt the snow.

"Roar, the anonymous sensor is mine!"

Lian Luo through the soft snow, moving forward step by step in the cold wind, icy snowflakes falling onto his dark red heavy armor.

Like the World Ring, each ring is a world in itself, and the world within this precious Ice Prison will only grow larger!

This icy world is vast and boundless. Lian Luo did not deliberately conceal his whereabouts. He had absolute confidence in his strength, and believed that there wouldn't be many powerful figures close to the Invincible King in this Ice Prison.

Upon arriving here, he needs to quickly understand the rules and the powerful individuals who reside here.

Sudden!

Amidst an Iceberg ahead, a scorching heat suddenly rose, utterly out of place in this icy world.

The snow evaporated instantly, white mist rose, and a huge figure, enveloped in blazing flames, landed in front of Lian Luo with a thud, blocking his path.

This is an extremely majestic beast, nearly ten meters tall, resembling both a lion and a tiger.

Its entire body was covered in blood-red scales, each scale surrounded by dark red flames.

Its beastly eyes were fixed on Lian Luo, filled with greed.

It was none other than the "Flame Lion-Tiger Beast" from the Demon Race.

"Human!" a hoarse, menacing voice said. "Hmph, lucky me, I ran into you as soon as I came in. Hand over your anonymous Virtual Universe Sensor! Now! Otherwise—!"

It clearly regarded Lian Luo as a soft target that could be easily manipulated. After all, as one of the more powerful races among the Demon Race, its Gene Level was three times that of Human Race. Moreover, in this Ice Prison, apart from a few powerful individuals who were close to or beyond the level of Invincible King -Invincible King, it was almost impossible to find a worthy opponent.

He didn't believe that a human who had just entered the city possessed strength approaching that of Invincible King.

Lian Luo stopped in his tracks, his eyes calm and expressionless.

His gaze swept coldly over the menacing Flame Lion-Tiger Beast.

"You're courting death." Lian Luo's voice was icy cold, devoid of any emotion, seemingly even colder than the chilling winds of this Ice Prison.

"You're asking for death!" The Flame Lion-Tiger Beast was completely enraged by Lian Luo's attitude.

Having struggled to survive in this Ice Prison for years, it had long since become extremely bloodthirsty and irritable. How dare a human so despise it?

The divine power of fire ignited instantly, its massive body transforming into a blazing meteor, its enormous claws carrying the power to Space-Splitting as it slammed down fiercely towards Lian Luo!

"Flame-Sky Claw!"

Wherever the claws passed, space itself seemed to subtly distort.

The intention was to instantly crush this arrogant and ignorant human!

Faced with an offensive that could instantly lull ordinary High Kings into a deep sleep, Lian Luo didn't even lift an eyelid.

"Buzz!"

His dark red armor suddenly glowed with a blood-red aura.

"Boom!"

The giant flaming claw slammed solidly into the crimson aura!

The violent energy shockwave exploded in a ring, instantly clearing away the snow that covered an area of tens of thousands of miles.

However, the seemingly thin crimson halo remained completely still, without even a ripple.

The eyes of the Flame Lion-Tiger Beast were filled with unbelievable horror—this defensive power!

"No!! You're a powerhouse close to Invincible King expert?!" the Flame Lion-Tiger Beast exclaimed in shock.

"Escape!"

Without any hesitation, a pair of fiery wings appeared on its back, and like a shooting star, it fled into the distance.

Although it is also Limit King Rank expert, its strength is not even in the same league as that of Limit King Rank expert who is close to Invincible King.

Looking at the fiery lion-tiger fleeing into the distance, Lian Luo moved!

His entire body suddenly ignited with divine power, and his right hand rose up with lightning speed.

The longsword "Blood Shadow" in his hand transformed into a blurry, blood-red afterimage, carrying a chilling killing intent that seemed capable of annihilating everything.

Slash at the Flame Lion-Tiger Beast!

"Drifting Blood!"

The appearance of blood-red snowflakes combined with the original white snowflakes in the sky, creating a scene that was both pure and alluring.

This strike was swift, accurate, and ruthless! It was Lian Luo's perfect interpretation of the Space Law, Immortal Level Peak Secret Technique!

"Pfft!"

The crimson longsword tore through the Flame Lion-Tiger Beast's divine body without any resistance. Its tough scales shattered like paper, and a destructive force instantly penetrated its body, frantically destroying its divine form.

"Aww!!"

A bloodcurdling roar echoed across the icy plains!

The Flame Lion-Tiger Beast's massive body was sent flying backward as if struck head-on by a meteorite, leaving a long trail of fire in the air.

The flames burning on its body instantly dimmed, and its divine aura rapidly declined. It crashed heavily onto the snow hundreds of kilometers away, severely injured and unable to maintain its Peak Battle power.

With just one move, a top-tier Immortal had reached the King Rank was already on the verge of death.

Lian Luo a step forward, and his figure instantly appeared in front of the Flame Lion-Tiger Beast.

That icy gaze made the Flame Lion-Tiger Beast feel as if it had fallen into the deepest Abyss.

"No-no-spare me, sir, spare me!" it struggled and begged for mercy, its previous arrogance completely gone.

It didn't want to die; it wanted to get out of this damned Ice Prison. How could it, as the son of the Universe Venerable of the Lion-Tiger Clan, die here!

"Don't worry, I won't kill you."

Lian Luo certainly wouldn't kill this Flame Lion-Tiger Beast.

He needed intelligence; he needed to quickly understand the rules and powerful figures of this Ice Prison.

A living, powerful expert at the Limit King Rank is far more valuable than a corpse.

With a casual sword Lian Luo, Lian Luo further eroded the Flame Lion-Tiger Beast's divine body to ten percent, causing the beast to instantly fall into a deep sleep.

Although restoring this person's divine body would require resources, he was not a Soul Master after all, and this was the only way to enslave a Limit King Rank powerhouse.

He slowly extended his left hand, his five fingers spread open, and a surge of pure soul power erupted!

"Soul Chain Locks the Heart."

The invisible power of the soul transformed into tangible chains, directly binding the opponent's weakened soul.

"Ah!!"

In its slumber, its resistance was as weak as a candle flickering in the wind.

Lian Luo's soul power transformed into chains, forcibly imprinting his mark deep within the origin of his soul!

Soul Control!

This process lasted for several breaths. As the Flame Lion-Tiger Beast was successfully enslaved, Lian Luo directly took out the treasures and potions from his World Ring to restore his divine body.

As the divine body recovered, the Flame Lion-Tiger Beast also quickly awoke.

With the completion of the Soul Enslavement Lian Luo, the murderous intent and other emotions in the eyes of the Flame Lion-Tiger Beast completely disappeared, replaced by a kind of fanaticism.

It crouched down, burying its massive head deep in the cold snowflakes, and respectfully said, "Master!"

Lian Luo coldly looked at his new servant. "Your name, and everything you know about this Ice Prison." He needed to obtain information about the Ice Prison as soon as possible.

"Yes, Master," the Flame Lion-Tiger Beast replied respectfully, "My name is 'Yan Pao.' This Ice Prison— "

As Yan Pao recounted his story Lian Luo gradually learned about the Ice Prison.

Every long era, this Ice Prison would unleash a massacre. To survive, one had to seize a number plate from the approximately 20,000 Alien Race Immortals already imprisoned in the Ice Prison before the massacre began!

Anyone who can collect 10,000 tokens can leave the Ice Prison safely, while all the other prisoners who fail will be killed.

In other words, proportionally speaking, out of more than 20,000 Immortals, two could go out, but if even one person managed to gather enough, the rest would die!

Therefore, whenever a strong individual is close to collecting all the tokens, they will be attacked by the entire group.

"Master, this is the ranking in the Ice Prison." Yan Pao said, waving his claws, and a huge block of ice fell from the sky.

"Rankings?" Lian Luo asked in confusion, not expecting to find such a thing here.

The ice block was about ten meters high, and it was covered with names and brief descriptions written in dense, Demon Race script.

"Master, this Ice Stele belongs to Sky Wolf clan, ranked among the top one thousand Ice Prison experts." Yan Pao explained, noticing Lian Luo's confusion, "Sky Wolf is a near -Invincible King being, so his ranking has some credibility."

As it spoke, it pointed its paw at the top of the Ice Stele and proudly declared, "Master, you see, I am ranked twenty-third. Of course, Master is definitely much stronger than that Sky Wolf."

Hearing these words, Lian Luo shook his head and muttered to himself, "It's truly laughable that these powerful individuals, in this loneliness, have actually reached the point of caring so much about rankings."

However, Lian Luo are understandable; he knew he could definitely get out, but what about the other Alien Races?

They didn't know if they could ever get out. In the endless years, even an Immortal King Rank expert would eventually break down if they remained alone.

Yan Pao was about to say something when Lian Luo's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he shouted at the distant Iceberg, "Who's there!"
