Chapter 2455: Ice Phoenix (1)



As Yun Lintian descended into the abyss of Phoenix Lake, the cold intensified with every passing foot. It was a relentless, all-consuming cold, unlike anything he had ever experienced. It gnawed at his defenses, seeped into his bones, and threatened to extinguish the very flame of his life.

He had already plunged more than ten thousand feet, the pressure crushing, the darkness absolute. The world above, with its dim light and swirling snow, seemed like a distant memory. Here, in the depths of the lake, there was only the oppressive cold, the suffocating silence, and the ever-present threat of oblivion.

Yun Lintian gritted his teeth, his resolve unwavering. He channeled the power of his bloodlines, the Azure Dragon and the Black Turtle, their combined strength forming a protective barrier against the encroaching cold.

The Azure Dragon's life-giving energy battled against the freezing temperatures, while the Black Turtle's resilience fortified his defenses, preventing his body from succumbing to the icy grip of the lake.

He invoked the power of the Primordial Sun God, his body radiating a faint golden glow, a tiny sun in the heart of the frozen abyss. The warmth spread through his limbs, offering a brief respite from the biting cold, a flicker of defiance against the overwhelming darkness.

But even with all his power, Yun Lintian found himself struggling. The cold was relentless, its intensity growing with every passing moment. He felt his movements slowing, his senses dulling, his consciousness wavering.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He reached into his soul, drawing upon the power of the Moon relic, its gentle light radiating outwards, a beacon of hope in the encroaching darkness. The relic hummed with energy, converting the chaotic energy of the lake into a usable form, a faint warmth that spread through his body, sustaining him, keeping his life force flickering.

He continued his descent, his body a vessel of defiance against the overwhelming forces of the lake. He was a lone warrior, a solitary seeker, venturing into the heart of the frozen abyss, his spirit undimmed, his determination unyielding.

Fifteen thousand feet...

The pressure intensified, the cold gnawing at his very essence. Yun Lintian felt his consciousness slipping, his vision blurring, his body nearing its limits.

He ventured deeper into the palace, his footsteps echoing through the vast, empty halls, the only sound in this silent, frozen world.

The interior of the palace was a breathtaking spectacle of ice and light. The walls were adorned with intricate carvings, depicting scenes of phoenixes soaring through the skies, their feathers shimmering with a thousand colors. Ice crystals, like glittering jewels, adorned every surface, reflecting the faint light that filtered through the frozen walls, creating a mesmerizing display of colors and shadows.

Yun Lintian traversed the labyrinthine corridors, his senses alert, his heart pounding with anticipation. He could feel the presence of the Ice Phoenix growing stronger with every step, her essence permeating the very air he breathed, her spirit guiding him towards her resting place.

Finally, he reached the heart of the palace, a vast chamber that dwarfed all the others. In the center of the chamber, encased in a shimmering cocoon of ice, lay a figure of ethereal beauty.

It was the Ice Phoenix.

She lay peacefully atop a dais of ice, a stunning woman clad in a flowing robe of the purest blue. Her hair, the color of a winter sky just before dawn, cascaded around her like a frozen waterfall, contrasting starkly with the pale skin of her delicate face.

She was breathtakingly beautiful, an ethereal vision of icy perfection. But it was her stillness that alarmed Yun Lintian. He could sense the faintest flicker of life within her, a fragile flame struggling against the overwhelming cold that permeated the chamber.

Her breathing was shallow, almost imperceptible, her vitality weak, as if she teetered on the precipice between life and death.

Yun Lintian approached cautiously, his footsteps muffled by the thick carpet of frost that covered the floor. He could feel the intense cold radiating from her, a chilling aura that threatened to extinguish his own life force. He channeled his divine energy, reinforcing his defenses, protecting himself from the frigid assault.

As he drew closer, he could see the subtle rise and fall of her chest, the gentle flutter of her eyelids. She was alive, but barely. He sensed that if she were to awaken now, the shock could shatter her fragile hold on life, extinguishing the last embers of her existence.

Yun Lintian knew he had to act quickly. He had to find a way to stabilize her condition, to nourish her weakened spirit, to rekindle the flame of life that flickered within her...
