Chapter 370 - 33: Awakened?!

Ten Thousand Illusions looked surprised and couldn’t help but say, "It was just here earlier."

In a massive ice lake, the pillar of light that once stood at the center had disappeared.

"Gone again?"

Shen Fei frowned deeply, looking at the array in front of him that was also flickering with light.

The Soul Spirit Crystal, which provided the energy, had vanished without a trace.

Even without Jasper Pool coming over, it was clear.

It’s similar to the Snow Ghost Emperor’s side; the Celestial Destiny Sect must have integrated the Soul Spirit Crystal first.

"So someone from the Celestial Destiny Sect has been here and perhaps realized they couldn’t rescue the Ten Thousand Illusions Mirage Emperor, so they handled the array and left."

Shen Fei estimated that it was not a Tier Nine member, but a Tier Eight who came to deal with it.

After all, the Celestial Destiny Sect couldn’t completely be Tier Nine.

So the person didn’t rescue the Ten Thousand Illusions Mirage Emperor unlike the Tier Nine person did.

This allowed Shen Fei to breathe a sigh of relief.

If the Celestial Destiny Sect had such a large influence, it would be even more troublesome.

After all, it’s clear they are on the side of the Ice Abyss.

"Their actions are really fast..."

Shen Fei felt that the Celestial Destiny Sect must have someone monitoring the array nearby.

Similar to Dijon and Ning Qingyang, only assigned with different powers.

Although it’s unclear why Ice Spirit’s side has two Tier Nine, but on the Ten Thousand Illusions Mirage Emperor’s side, they might not even have reached Tier Nine.

But at least it was confirmed that they immediately integrated the yet-to-be-fully-collected Soul Spirit Crystal into the array once they realized something was amiss.

Shen Fei’s gaze fell to the ground, seeing through the ice the dark gray skin beneath it.

It seemed like he could see something surging under this skin, providing some kind of propulsion to a dead body.

"This Ice Demon Mantis will soon be resolved; Xingzu, have you arrived?"

"I’m here..."

Shen Fei received Gao Ya’s transmission, allowing Little Pu to instantly transfer them to Gao Ya’s side.

The next moment.

Gao Ya and Gleitman, who were battling the Ice Demon Mantis, saw Shen Fei appear in the sky.

In an instant.

A vast cross suddenly emerged in the sky, unleashing a terrifying suction towards the Ice Demon Mantis.

It was already entangled by Gao Ya and Gleitman, even in a precarious state, caught off guard.

Instantly, it was bound in the ’Jesus’ Suffering’ position on the cross.

The next moment.

"One Thought, a Flower Blooms" surged again, countless petals formed by magic blasted at the Ice Demon Mantis bound on the cross.

Gao Ya and Gleitman were startled, but with their Tier Nine combat instincts, they quickly reacted.

A variety of powerful skills continuously bombarded the Ice Demon Mantis, even if it was only restrained for an instant.

The cross dissolved into Holy Light, and the next moment, countless forces erupted from within the Ice Demon Mantis, transforming into endless rays of light.

The insect body of the Ice Demon Mantis, seemingly made of ice crystals, instantly melted, and its residual energy began to spread furiously as waves in all directions.

It even blasted a huge crater where the Ice Demon Mantis just stood.

Several beams of red light and a beam of golden light burst out, Gao Ya had already anticipated it, but Gleitman’s eyes were filled with shock.

Is this the power of Shen Fei?

His eyes weren’t bad, estimating that this Cross Binding, and those nearly endless petals used by Shen Fei’s Summoned Beast earlier.

When he saw it, he felt his heart beating wildly, thinking that if he was engulfed by it.

He feared there’d be no escape from resurrection.

’Was he holding back earlier?’

A hint of surprise flashed across Gleitman’s rugged face, thinking back to the Ural Defense Line, implying Shen Fei had the strength to kill Pierre, who stopped him.

Just faking that he hadn’t reached Tier Nine to fool others first.

According to what the Wuxia People liked to do, it’s used to deceive.

’The Wuxia People, they really are sly!’

Gleitman criticized internally, having met many Wuxia People, they often have hidden strengths far greater than they show.

As they say: ’What’s too backward can be demonstrated.’

So, Wuxia People’s intel is the hardest to fathom because you never know how much power they hide.

It’s unlike those from America, or rather them.

Eager to show all their strengths, except for some trump cards that absolutely cannot be revealed.

The rest can be known, so be it.

Gleitman suddenly thought, if Shen Fei was hiding his strength, who was he intending to trick?

Or has he already succeeded?

So far, the only Tier Nine dead should be Jason Trang...

A name popped into Gleitman’s mind, and his body shuddered suddenly.

Better not to think too deeply, Jason was killed by the Demon, and it could only be the Demon.

Now Fur Bear needed Wuxia, and the one dead wasn’t a Tier Nine from Fur Bear.

"The situation is not good right now; currently, two of the eight major array points have been dismantled, but the Celestial Destiny Sect has already discovered the situation with two others.

They’ve directly fused them into it."

While Shen Fei explained to Gao Ya and Gleitman.

Jasper Pool appeared once more.

"His lair is over there..."

Gao Ya listened, quickly pointing towards a large cave in the distance before the Celestial Destiny Sect could act fast again.

The group descended into the Ice Demon Mantis’s lair, where countless corpses lay.

Gao Ya explained, "When we first appeared here, the Ice Demon Mantis refused to come out, only sent its King to stop us.

It only emerged after we slaughtered them all."

"Because they themselves are a source of energy, even a key one."

Shen Fei glanced at Jasper Pool, who surveyed her surroundings, then flew out of the lair, closely followed by Shen Fei’s group.

A moment later.

They arrived at another cave, inside were countless corpses, appearing to be drained of all internal matter, leaving only the surface shell.

At the center of these corpses stood a large pillar of light, the Soul Spirit Crystal.

And before this pillar, there stood a figure in a white robe, their right hand’s fingers writing something.

Faint white light glowed from his fingers, and as he worked, the pillar continued to dissolve.

"Stop!"

Jasper Pool was the first to notice, immediately unleashing the "Voice of All Things" straight into the person’s mind.

The next moment.

The white-robed figure, unable to react or comprehend what happened, suddenly fell backward.

The Empress waved her hand, and an Ice Vine entrapped the figure, instantly pulling them over.

"Little Pu, extract the intel from his mind directly."

Previously, Little Pu’s "Great Heart Magic" could directly acquire the target’s memories.

However, it couldn’t surpass Tier Nine, and this figure clearly was not Tier Nine.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to be incapacitated by Jasper Pool’s "Voice of All Things," and even faint.

The Celestial Dao Demon Venerable also moved, approaching the partially dissolved Soul Spirit Crystal, yanking it out forcefully.

It then transformed into black energy, which the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable absorbed, as Gao Ya and Gleitman witnessed the Soul Spirit Crystal live for the first time.

"Below is a part of the God of the Frozen Abyss."

Shen Fei gestured for Gleitman to look, as Gao Ya had already seen it at the Ice Spirit’s side.

Gleitman curiously gazed at the base of the ice cave, seeing the dark gray skin.

If Shen Fei hadn’t mentioned it, he might have assumed it was just the ground beneath the ice.

"Is this its foot?"

Jasper Pool added from the side, "A toe; previously, the lair was in the arch of the foot’s location."

Jasper Pool explained, "Their array intends to break through with focal points, using the power of the Soul Spirit Crystal as a medium, harmonizing inside and out."

"Allowing the God of the Frozen Abyss to emerge from its seal at once."

Initially skeptical about Gao Ya’s explanation, Gleitman no longer doubted after seeing it.

He wasn’t a fool; after taking a closer look, he confirmed it was indeed a living entity beneath.

Suddenly.

Little Pu’s voice resonated in Shen Fei’s mind, carrying a hint of gravity, "Master, the God of the Frozen Abyss has already begun to awaken..."

"Awakening?!"

Shen Fei looked at the gray skin below, momentarily stunned.
