The space seemed to be violently stirred by an invisible giant hand, trembling intensely. Faced with the approaching figure of Fang Yuan, the beautiful face of the Thousand Machine Master, Xiya, flashed with a hint of struggle.
The Sea of Illusions was still churning deep within her consciousness, plunging her into a semi-dream, semi-waking chaotic state. In her dreams, beautiful scenes flowed endlessly, and joy came in waves, one after another. However, the terrifying reality told her that she was about to die!
These two extreme situations tore at each other, creating a paradox so suffocating that, despite it all, she remained deeply trapped in the mire of her beautiful dream, unable to extricate herself.
"Do not be reckless!"
From the sky, Belo Ber roared angrily. Under his control, dark ink gathered to form the four mighty words "Indestructible," which manifested as a towering black wall, blocking Xiya's path.
Fang Yuan had already slain the Emperor of the Ice Plains right before his eyes, thoroughly humiliating the strongest warrior of the Ice Plains. He could not allow the enemy to continue massacring his capable subordinates.
However, the words made of darkness, forming the wall, shattered like fragile glass with a crack at the moment Fang Yuan's fist touched them!
The phrase "Indestructible" now seemed to be a huge mockery, for it was truly "Shattered at a Touch!"
At the brink of life and death, Xiya finally awoke from the dreamlike state, her pupils shrinking. Instinctively, she tried to retreat.
But Fang Yuan's speed was terrifyingly fast. His long, powerful hand shot out like lightning, seizing her neck and lifting her off the ground!
Xiya felt an icy chill at her throat, and vast amounts of spiritual energy surged from her body, violently pouring out toward Fang Yuan's seemingly fragile body.
As a Puppet Master, she knew it was too late to use her puppets and could only fight back with raw power!
However, the attack, which should have been capable of splitting towering mountains, did not even stir the hem of Fang Yuan's clothes!
"Lord Black God!"
Xiya screamed in despair, her voice shrill with fear that crawled up her spine, making her tone change.
She knew that with just a slight twist, Fang Yuan could kill her, and even the Black God could not save her. It was certain death!
To Xiya's surprise, however, death did not come as expected. She looked down in confusion and saw that the boy had not glanced at her even once. His eyes, like a hawk's, were locked firmly on the dark figure of Belo Ber in the sky.
"Hey, aren't you going to save her? She's about to die," Fang Yuan said, his tone calm, but a trace of mockery was clearly visible in his eyes. "She's calling for you, Lord, you know..."
One could not deny that Belo Ber was a master of hide-and-seek. This was the first time Fang Yuan's [Eye of Calamity] had failed to find his true form.
Fang Yuan could not be bothered to waste time searching for Belo Ber's true form. Since he could not find it, he would force him out!
After all, this was enemy territory, and there were plenty of hostages to use.
"If you don't show yourself, I'll kill all your people. First, I'll start with your Emperor, then with this woman. I will keep killing until all the people of the Ice Plains are dead!" Fang Yuan's voice turned increasingly cold and sharp. "Make your choice, Belo Ber. You wouldn't want to hide like a turtle in your own capital, would you?!"
In the sky, Belo Ber, shrouded in darkness, showed no expression, but his voice was full of menace: "Invader, do you really wish to die?"
One could not deny that the boy before him was incredibly powerful. His killing move, the Ink Seal of Fate, could do nothing to him... and the boy had even seen through the fact that this was not his true form.
From his experience in battle, Belo Ber realized that this boy had mastered both the Five Elements Path and Yin Power, and had already walked two-thirds of the way toward the Martial Saint realm...
No wonder he was such a thorn in his side. Where did such a ruthless character come from?!
Unfortunately, as a living seal, Belo Ber could only cultivate the Yin Attribute Path, otherwise, he might have reached the same level as this boy!
Nevertheless, this living seal was not without benefits; it granted Belo Ber even greater powers.
Even if a true Martial Saint invaded the Ice Plains, with this seal, he was confident he could hold his own.
Now, it was time for this arrogant invader to witness his power!
With a low shout from Belo Ber, his shadowy form instantly faded, revealing his true self. The prominent red name floating above his head confirmed that he had revealed his true body!
Seeing this, Fang Yuan was slightly surprised. The true form did not hide in some other location but appeared just like that?
Could it be that he could freely switch between his true body and a false one?
Fang Yuan did not have time to think further because with the appearance of Belo Ber's true form, the surrounding aura rose to a new level. The darkness grew thicker, almost tangible, and was covered by a layer of eerie frost.
This frost quickly encased the Westia in Fang Yuan's hands and rapidly spread up his arm.
Fang Yuan could feel an incredibly strong Yin energy in the frost, and the overwhelming cold made his soul tremble slightly.
But that was the extent of it. With his cultivation of the Five Elements and Yin Attributes, Fang Yuan's health had risen to 200,000!
The Earth Element increased his magic resistance, the Wood Element enhanced his healing, and the Metal Element strengthened his armor... With all his attributes stacked, Fang Yuan was like a character in an RPG game, fully equipped with god-like gear, and very few could even reduce his health!
"Finally, you've decided to show up!"
Fang Yuan sharply flicked his right hand and easily broke free from the frozen restraints. Then, he shot toward Belo Ber in the sky!
He could not let the other party hide like a turtle again. It was best to take him out in one blow!
Flash!
In an instant, Fang Yuan appeared like a ghost behind Belo Ber, his right arm raised high, delivering a powerful punch straight to Belo Ber's head.
At this moment, the decay energy around him was at its peak. Six wings intertwined behind him like a sinister flower in bloom.
Even the entire sky, bathed in a blood-red hue, seemed to overshadow the darkness surrounding Belo Ber.
Just as Fang Yuan was about to unleash the [End of Red Lotus], his brow furrowed suddenly because his punch did not feel the usual resistance. Instead, it was as if his fist had been "devoured."
Belo Ber's body seemed like a swamp, swallowing Fang Yuan's punch into it.
Next, it was Fang Yuan's body and legs...
In the blink of an eye, the scenery around him shifted dramatically, and Fang Yuan found himself no longer in the Ice Plains' Yese Fortress, but in a completely unfamiliar world.
