Awakening the Eternal Heaven-Swallowing Art

"This altar..."

The mythical beast spoke in a trembling tone: "It was built thousands of years ago by a powerful being called the 'Lord of Frost'."

"He is the master of this ice sheet and has the magical power to freeze all things."

"But his strength doesn't stop there. Legend has it that he also mastered a law - the law of ice."

Ling Yun's eyes sparkled.

The law of ice? This is indeed an extremely powerful law that can condense everything, freeze time and space, and more likely reverse life and death.

"The Lord of Frost was once invincible on this land, but he always felt that his power was not enough and always pursued more powerful magical powers."

The ice beast continued: "For this reason, he decided to refine a treasure that can enhance his power of law and make him truly invincible."

Ling Yun pondered: "Did he succeed?"

The ice beast nodded, "He succeeded, but he paid a price."

"The Lord of Frost discovered that in order to complete this treasure, he must pay the price with his own life."

"But he ultimately chose to sacrifice himself for the sake of power."

Ling Yun frowned: "Then this altar is..."

The ice beast swallowed, obviously this part of the memory was extremely terrifying to it, "The altar is where the Lord of Frost refines treasures."

"He integrated his life with the law of ice and formed a heart of ice crystal."

"This heart of ice crystal has infinite power of law, but it also contains an extremely powerful curse."

Ling Yun showed a hint of interest: "Curse?"

The ice beast nodded: "Yes, anyone who obtains the heart of ice crystal will be bound by the powerful law of ice and eventually become an ice sculpture and lose his life."

"Therefore, although the heart of ice crystal is extremely powerful, no one dares to touch it."

Ling Yun thought quietly, this ice crystal heart obviously had a huge temptation on him.

But I'm worried about that terrible curse.

He raised his head and looked at the ice beast: "How do you know so much?"

The ice beast lowered his head slightly: "Because, I was once a close partner of the Lord of Frost, and I saw his rise and fall with my own eyes."

Ling Yun took a deep breath, and he felt that this ice field seemed to hide more secrets.

He decided to proceed carefully and not let the temptation of the ice law make him lose his mind.

The ice beast took a deep breath, with determination in its eyes: "Ling Yun, I can take you to the altar, but you must promise me not to touch the ice crystal heart."

Ling Yun was silent for a moment and finally nodded.

The two reached a consensus and continued deep into the ice cave to go to the legendary altar.

Ling Yun and the ice beast stepped into the ice cave, and the icy cold air immediately surrounded them.

With every step he took deeper, the ice mist became thicker, but as the true energy in Ling Yun's body circulated, the cold was easily rejected by him.

The ice beast naturally adapts to this environment, surrounded by white mist.

Suddenly, the ice beast stopped and blew out a wisp of cold air from its nostrils: "There is something strange ahead."

Ling Yun frowned slightly and listened attentively. He only heard a low sound of incantations, and there seemed to be the sound of jade slips, swords and other magic weapons hitting each other.

He walked forward slowly and immediately saw a huge ice crystal altar. In the center of the altar was a crystal clear ice crystal heart, emitting a cold blue light.

Around the altar, a group of gods were setting up formations, apparently wanting to take away the Ice Crystal Heart.

They have different magic weapons, some hold flying swords, some hold jade slips in their palms, and some chant incantations in an attempt to break the seal of the ice crystal altar.

Ling Yun's eyes turned cold. These gods were not weak in strength, and their formations were obviously carefully arranged.

The ice beast whispered: "They are people from the Frost Sect. The Frost Sect has always wanted to get the Ice Crystal Heart to increase the strength of the sect."

Ling Yun said solemnly: "No matter who they are, the Ice Crystal Heart cannot fall into their hands."

The ice beast nodded: "We need to act quickly."

The two of them took action almost at the same time. The true energy in Ling Yun's palm rolled and turned into a sword energy, which cut through the sky and slashed directly towards one of the gods.

The ice beast turned into a white shadow and rushed towards the altar.

The gods did not expect a sudden attack and were instantly thrown into chaos.

Ling Yun's sword energy was invincible, and every time he killed a person, a wisp of blood mist would float up.

Each of his strikes contains powerful power of law, directly tearing apart the opponent's body-protecting essence.

The ice beast displayed powerful magical powers of ice, and the gods hit by it were immediately frozen into ice sculptures, losing signs of life.

When the leader of the Frost Sect saw this, his expression changed drastically and he shouted: "Retreat! Let's retreat!"

The murderous intent in Ling Yun's eyes has not diminished, and his figure is flashing, blocking their retreat.

He sneered: "Want to leave? It's not that easy."

The leader shouted angrily: "Ling Yun, do you know who we are? Do you dare to kill people from the Frost Sect?"

Ling Yun's true energy surged in his hand, and he smiled: "In my eyes, no matter what the background is, as long as it hinders me, it is an enemy."

A trace of cruelty flashed in the eyes of the leader of the Frost Sect: "Then prepare to die!"

But the moment he launched the attack, Ling Yun's sword energy had already penetrated his throat, and blood spurted out.

Ling Yun looked at him coldly, as if he were looking at a corpse: "If I had known this, why would I do it in the first place?"

Then, he turned around and looked at the ice crystal heart, with a trace of greed and hesitation in his eyes.

Ice mist rolled inside the cave, and the cold and lonely atmosphere became more intense under Ling Yun's eyes.

Just when he was about to reach out to touch the ice crystal heart, the ice beast quickly blocked the way, and its body expanded, revealing its true huge form.

Its ice-blue eyes flashed with anger, seemingly extremely dissatisfied with Ling Yun's behavior.

"Ling Yun, what did you just say?"

The voice of the ice beast seemed to come from the Jiutian Glacier, and it was bone-chilling.

Ling Yun narrowed his eyes and sneered: "You want to stop me? Do you know what use this ice crystal heart is to me?"

The ice beast was silent for a moment and said, "Even if I know, I can't let you take it away."

"This is the life source of the ice cave. Once you take it away, the life in this place will disappear."

But during the confrontation between the two, the heart of the ice crystal began to change.

The crystal that had been stationary now began to rotate, emitting a blue light with each revolution.

Gradually, this light emanated from the surface of the Ice Crystal Heart, forming a blue light shield that enveloped the entire altar.

Ling Yun and the ice beast were both stunned, witnessing the ice crystal heart slowly floating towards Ling Yun.

The ice beast immediately stretched out its giant claws, trying to grab the heart of the ice crystal, but was bounced away by the light shield and could not touch it at all.

Ling Yun, on the other hand, opened his arms and waited for the ice crystal heart to float into his hands.

But to everyone's surprise, the Ice Crystal Heart did not fall directly into Ling Yun's hands, but floated to his eyes and stopped there.

Ling Yun tried to reach out and touch it, but the Ice Crystal Heart immediately avoided him, preventing him from touching it.

"What...is it waiting for?" Ling Yun frowned and said.

The ice beast returned to its small form, looking at the ice crystal heart and seeming to be communicating with it.

Then he turned to look at Ling Yun and said deeply: "It is testing you to see if you are qualified to get it."

Ling Yun's face showed confusion: "Test me? I have already proven my strength."

The ice beast shook its head: "Strength is only part of it, it cares more about your heart."

The heart of ice crystal once again emits a strong light, illuminating the entire ice cave.

Those gods who had been defeated before were swept away by this light, and their bodies began to crack and turned into pools of blood.

Ling Yun's eyes showed fear and he asked: "What law is this?"

The ice beast said: "This is the judgment of the Ice Crystal Heart. Only by passing its judgment can you get it."

Ling Yun looked at the ice crystal heart nervously, took a deep breath, and decided to face its judgment.

The Ice Crystal Heart floated in front of Ling Yun and released an icy blue beam of light that hit Ling Yun directly between his eyebrows.

Ling Yun only felt a cold breath pour into his mind, the whole world seemed to slow down, and his consciousness was brought into a special space.

This is a world of ice and snow, with snowflakes floating around the boundless ice fields. Standing in it, Ling Yun felt an unknown oppression.

At this time, a crack suddenly opened under his feet, and a huge ice dragon rushed out of the crack and rushed toward him.

Ling Yun quickly used his magical power to avoid, but the ice dragon seemed to predict his movements and always locked his position within one step.

At the same time, various memories of his past continued to echo in his mind, including the decisions he had made, the people he had hurt, and even the secrets buried deep in his heart.

Ling Yun felt as if he was locked by countless ice chains, unable to move. Facing the ice dragon's roar and impact, he could only resist.

But every injury seems to represent his past mistakes.

The ice beast stood aside and watched Ling Yun undergo the trial of the Ice Crystal Heart.

It knows that this is a very cruel test, and many strong men who have offended the Ice Crystal Heart in the past have failed to pass it.

But Ling Yun did not give up, and he began to fight with the ice dragon.

Every time he fought, he thought deeply, trying to find the weakness of the ice dragon, and every time he made the right decision, that part of the ice chain would break.

In this protracted war, Ling Yun continued to evolve and challenge his limits.

He began to use more advanced magical powers and used the power of law to fight against the ice dragon. In the end, in a shocking confrontation, he successfully sealed the ice dragon.

At this time, the Ice Crystal Heart appeared again, and it said to Ling Yun: "You have powerful abilities and a clear sense of right and wrong, but your past is still a shackles."

"Remember, a truly strong man must not only have extraordinary strength, but also have an open heart."

Ling Yun took a deep breath, his eyes bright: "I understand, I will remember the lesson this time and will no longer let the past constrain me."

The ice crystal heart slowly descended and merged into Ling Yun's body, giving him a more powerful force.

The moment the Ice Crystal Heart disappeared, the entire ice cave seemed to feel an air of emptiness.

Snowflakes fall gently from the sky of the ice cave, as if the entire ice field in the wilderness is mourning the loss of the ice crystal heart.

The eyes of the ice beast stared at Ling Yun, full of disbelief.

"You...have you really been recognized by the Ice Crystal Heart?"

There was shock in its voice, which was the pressure of a giant beast from the wild, but at this moment it was more filled with doubts and surprise.

Ling Yun nodded slightly: "Yes, but this was not my original intention. The reason why I came here was just to find the heart of ice crystal. I never thought that it would choose to merge into my body."

The ice beast sighed and looked at the surrounding ice walls: "This ice cave was originally supported by the power of the Ice Crystal Heart. Without it, I'm afraid this ice cave will no longer exist."

Ling Yun looked at the cracks that gradually appeared, frowning: "This ice cave is not only your home, but also the center of this ice field. Without it, the entire ice field will be affected."

The Ice Beast nodded weakly, its blue eyes full of worry.

This ice field is its birthplace and everything it has. Losing the ice cave means losing everything.

"Is there any way?"

Ling Yun asked. Although he got the Ice Crystal Heart, he didn't want to destroy a vast land because of it.

The Ice Beast thought for a moment and said, "Maybe there is a way. But I need your help."

A firm look flashed in Ling Yun's eyes: "Tell me, no matter what, I will do my best."

The Ice Beast said in a low voice: "The structure of the ice cave is supported by the power of the law of the Ice Crystal Heart."

"Now that it has merged into your body, I can only use your power to cast a sealing spell to temporarily maintain this ice cave."

Ling Yun nodded and said in a deep voice: "But I am not good at ice attribute spells, can you teach me?"

The Ice Beast smiled: "Of course. As long as you have the power of the Ice Crystal Heart, it is only a matter of time to learn these spells."

Next, Ling Yun and the Ice Beast stood side by side and began to cast the powerful power of the law.

The power of the Ice Crystal Heart flowed in Ling Yun's body, merging with the power of the Ice Beast, forming an ice-blue light that gradually covered the entire ice cave.

As time passed, the cracks in the ice cave gradually disappeared, and the entire space seemed to become more stable.

In the end, with the joint efforts of the two, the ice cave was temporarily stabilized.

The cold air inside the ice cave seemed to be dispelled by some kind of power, replaced by a calm wave.

The Ice Beast stared at Ling Yun: "Since you have inherited the Ice Crystal Heart, the magic weapons and secrets left by its owner should also belong to you."

Ling Yun's heart moved slightly, and he felt the subtle fluctuations from the Ice Crystal Heart. He nodded, and was about to follow the Ice Beast forward, but suddenly felt a strong murderous aura.

Outside the ice cave, Cai Yu was covered with flowing light, and her face was full of hatred and unwillingness.

She stood in the air, and behind her was a team of elite disciples from Qinglong Manor.

She shouted: "Ling Yun, for Shuanghua, I must take your life!"

Ling Yun sneered: "Shuanghua asked for it. You Qinglong Manor have repeatedly attacked me. Tieyi and Yousha are already my ghosts. Do you want to be the third one?"

Cai Yu's eyes were crazy, and she waved her fan, and the powerful wind blade slashed towards Ling Yun.

The wind blade contained all of Cai Yu's anger and murderous intent.

The ice beast roared, and the power of ice crystals burst out, turning into an ice shield to block Ling Yun.

The wind blade collided with the ice, causing a violent vibration in the ice cave.

Ling Yun formed seals with his hands, and the power of the law flowed through his body.

He took a step forward and said coldly: "Cai Yu, do you really think you are my opponent?"
