Chapter 2450: Northern Region (2)
The moment Yun Lintian stepped into the northern region, it was like crossing an invisible threshold into another world. The already brutal cold intensified, the wind howling with a ferocity that threatened to tear him apart.
The snow, no longer mere flakes, but sharp, icy shards, stung his face like needles, and the visibility dropped to near zero.
Even with his robust cultivation and the Moon relic subtly converting the chaotic energy into a usable form, Yun Lintian found himself struggling.
The sheer intensity of the cold was unlike anything he had ever experienced. It felt as if his very essence was being frozen, his divine energy struggling to circulate, his movements growing sluggish.
Yun Lintian braced himself up, channeling his divine energy with renewed vigor, reinforcing the protective barrier around him. He pushed forward, his steps heavy and deliberate, each one a victory against the overwhelming force of the frozen wasteland.
Gui Xiao and Hei Shou huddled closer to him, seeking warmth and protection. Even they, with their resilient nature, were affected by the extreme cold.
Gui Xiao's usually playful demeanor was subdued, his black-green eyes wide with apprehension. Hei Shou, the embodiment of death, shivered slightly, his shadowy form flickering with unease.
Yun Lintian activated his Eyes of Heaven, their power amplified by his strengthened divine sense. He peered through the blinding snowstorm, his vision penetrating the swirling chaos, searching for any landmarks, any signs of life, any hint of the path towards his goal.
The landscape was a desolate expanse of white, the ground a treacherous maze of ice ridges and hidden crevasses. The wind howled like a chorus of lost souls, the only sound in this frozen purgatory.
Yun Lintian's senses were on high alert, scanning for any signs of danger. He could feel the presence of powerful God Beasts lurking in the shadows, their auras masked by the blizzard, their eyes watching his every move.
He sensed the presence of a colossal Ice Wyvern, its scales shimmering like diamonds, its breath a freezing blast that could turn flesh to ice in an instant. He felt the tremors caused by a gigantic Frost Mammoth, its footsteps shaking the ground, its tusks capable of impaling a mountain.
Yun Lintian tried his best to conceal his aura, blending himself to the surrounding environment.
Scree-
A surge of golden light erupted from Yun Lintian's body, pushing back the Snow Wolves with
a wave of scorching heat. The Divine Phoenix bloodline within him roared to life, its fiery essence manifesting as a blazing aura that enveloped him in a protective cocoon.
"Roar!" The Snow Wolves yelped, recoiling from the intense heat, their fur singed, their eyes wide with fear. They had never encountered such a power before, a force that seemed to defy the very nature of their frozen domain.
Yun Lintian didn't stop there. He channeled the power of the White Tiger God bloodline, his body surging with strength and agility. He moved like a phantom, his movements blurring, his sword a whirlwind of golden light, deflecting the wolves' attacks with pinpoint accuracy.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Each strike carried the weight of a mountain, the sharpness of a thousand blades. The Snow Wolves, unable to withstand the onslaught, were sent flying, their bodies crashing against the ice, their howls turning into whimpers of pain.
However, the Snow Leopard was a different story. Its power far surpassing that of the wolves. It lunged at Yun Lintian, its claws tearing through the air, its jaws snapping with ferocious
intent.
BOOM!!
Yun Lintian met its attack head-on, his Heaven Piercing Sword clashing against the leopard's claws, sparks flying, the air filled with the screech of metal against bone.
The force of the impact sent tremors through the ground, the two figures locked in a deadly
embrace...
