Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

The snow mountain immediately turned into a hell of red and white.

Many ferocious beasts and war machines did not expect that a volcano that had been dormant for thousands of years would suddenly erupt and be hit by the meteor shower.

Even the solid shells of the ‘Rampaging Armored Dragons’ and the defensive force fields of the ‘Star Knights’ were not enough to resist the scorching magma that pierced through their bodies like a stream of particles.

One giant object after another was riddled with holes and fell from the middle of the mountain, turning into miserable-looking snowballs that were rolling larger and larger, attracting even more unlucky beasts and war machines.

When the magma splashed on the snow slope and the icy rocks, the ice that had been frozen for thousands of years was melted and turned into an overwhelming flood. Hundreds of waterfalls seemed to have appeared on the snow mountain all of a sudden. After a moment of crashing, the waterfalls all congregated into white mud. It was an unprecedented avalanche. A magnificent white wall appeared in front of Li Yao.

He could hear the earth-shaking noises of the raging tides slapping the shore. The white wall was getting higher and higher. Very soon, it was connected to the fiery clouds in the sky, as if it were going to swallow the entire world. Burning volcanic rocks with black exhaust flames pierced through the white wall like furious bullets and bombarded Li Yao and all the other climbers.

“I knew it. I knew it! There’s no way that I could find the exit so easily!

Li Yao’s eyes were keen enough to notice many ferocious beasts and war machines that were about to reach the top of the snow mountain. He was the first to be swept into the avalanche.

The white wall that blocked the sky was not just made of snow and ice, but also brought with it sharp wind that seemed to be able to destroy the body or the magical equipment directly and freeze human beings, ferocious beasts, the Pangu Clan, the Nuwa Clan, and the war machine.

Li Yao saw with his own eyes that an Armored Storm Dragon that failed to dodge in time was swallowed by the white wall. After floating for a while, it was frozen into a giant block of ice. The magma that followed crushed the block of ice into pieces all of a sudden. After being tortured between absolute zero and extreme high temperature for a long time, every cell of the Armored Storm Dragon had been blown to smithereens. Together with the block of ice, it was smashed into pieces. It was a miserable sight.

Li Yao did not want to test whether or not the wind inside the avalanche had reached absolute zero with the ‘sun catastrophe’, nor did he want to know how many kinds of rare elements were stored inside the torrents of magma that could destroy the vitality magnetic field and the spiritual energy circulation. He only had one choice, which was to turn around and run away like most of the ferocious beasts and the war machines!

Run, run, panic-stricken, and desperate. Countless ferocious beasts and war machines, including Li Yao, were engaged in a life-and-death race against the avalanche.

Under normal circumstances, with the super high speed that the ‘sun catastrophe’ could reach at least five times the speed of sound, there was no need to worry that the avalanche would catch up to them. In the worst-case scenario, they could even fly into the sky to avoid the avalanche.

However, the extremely low temperature of this frigid hell, as well as the ever-present frigid winds, nearly froze every magical equipment unit and spiritual energy transmission tube of the Giant God Soldier. The simplest movements became extremely complicated. Li Yao did not even dare to turn off the nozzle of any auxiliary power unit, because once it was turned off, the nozzle might be frozen in just three seconds.

Even the super Giant God Soldiers such as the Solar Disaster’ were no better than the ferocious beasts that had been rolling and sliding on the ground.

“What is that?”

While Li Yao gritted his teeth and triggered the flames of war to ensure that every unit of the giant soldier was functioning normally, while he tried his best to avoid the magma falling from the sky and planned his escape route crazily, the mental devil suddenly shouted.

Li Yao was dazed for a moment. He split part of his telepathic thoughts and struggled in the bone-piercing wind to the direction that the mental devil was pointing at.

He saw a member of the Nuwa Clan.

On the snow mountain, many guardians of the Pangu Clan, the Nuwa Clan, and other primeval species were intercepting the invading beasts in order to buy more time for the leadership to detonate the crystal bombs deep inside the mountain.

When the avalanche took place, the guardians were not spared, either. They fell together with the ferocious beasts and the war machines, struggling between the snow, the magma, the survival, and the death.

But this Nuwa was different from other Nuwa Cultivators.

She was the youngest member of the Nuwa Clan that Li Yao had met after he entered the primeval relics. Judging from her innocent face and her kind eyes, she seemed to be a girl from the Nuwa Clan.

More importantly, it was not the mental devil who discovered the ‘Nuwa girl’ first, but the other party who noticed them first. The mental devil looked at them curiously and even sent a complicated stream of information to them, which seemed to be both confusion and curiosity. More importantly, the mental devil seemed to be… greeting them. If Li Yao was not mistaken, she was the first living, communicative Nuwa that Li Yao had met in the primeval relics!

“Hey, do you remember what the Supreme Emperor said not long ago? When he was still an embryo, a little girl of the Nuwa Clan was very interested in him and became good friends with him. “I don’t think there are too many girls of the Nuwa Clan in the primeval relics,” the mental devil said.

“Yes.”

Li Yao said, “The Supreme Emperor also said that, when the Pangu Clan or the Nuwa Clan in the primeval relics enter adulthood and assume the responsibility of researchers’, they will suppress their emotions and desires to the minimum. Only in such a way can they remain calm in the face of the bizarre, unbelievable events in the primeval relics. Even when they are faced with the creator of the black wall and the vastness and might of the flood tide, they will not collapse mentally.

“However, the children who are not adults often live in the ‘living area’ of the City of Silver and have never been exposed to the secrets of horror and cunningness. Therefore, they retain part of their emotions and their self-awareness. They may not blindly follow orders. Maybe they are communicable.

“In other words, even if the girl of the Nuwa Clan is not the Supreme Emperor’s ‘old friend’, she is likely to tell us a lot of precious information that will help us solve the ancient mysteries!

In the blink of an eye, Li Yao and the mental devil had only exchanged a few telepathic thoughts when the girl of the Nuwa Clan exclaimed and was almost hit by a stone that was burning furiously with magma. Half of her hair had been burnt by the magma.

The magma even blew up a tsunami-like blast around her. The snow and the blast sent her flying. She was about to lose balance and fall into the snow, turning into a snowball that was getting bigger and bigger.

Having no time to think, Li Yao could only take a gamble. He steered the ‘sun catastrophe’ to a sudden halt and accelerated, picking up the girl before she fell into the snow.

Chi! Chi! Chi!

Earsplitting noises immediately echoed inside the power unit of the Giant God Soldier.

As it turned out, the metal was beyond the limits of fatigue because of the extremely low temperature. It was twisted beyond the detection of the naked eye, with gaps that were thinner than a hair. The speed and balance of the metal were both greatly undermined.

The ‘sun catastrophe’ staggered and was almost buried in the snow together with the girl of the Nuwa Clan.

The roars behind him were getting louder and louder, as if billions of horses with sharp thorns were stomping on his back.

The snow line that seemed to be boiling was getting closer and closer to them. The waves at the front were hundreds of meters high, like a moving iron wall. “Below, below!”

The mental devil shrieked.

Li Yao thought quickly and immediately understood what he meant. The snow below their feet seemed to be slightly fluffier than the snow nearby, which was also the reason why the girl of the Nuwa Clan and the ‘sun catastrophe’ had fallen.

The snow was fluffy because the bottom of the snow was not made of solid rocks but a bottomless crevice, or rather, a dark and rugged valley.

Normally, Li Yao would never be interested in exploring the valley.

But right now, the immeasurable valley had become the best shelter.

Zi! Zi! Zi! Zi! Zi!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The electric axe was waving down crazily. The spurts of the power units below the feet of the Giant God Soldier were spurting out high-temperature flames, too, opening a path to the depths of the icy valley before the avalanche. Li Yao dragged the girl of the Nuwa Clan down without caring about anything else. As they fell, he threw frozen bombs to the top of their heads. As the deep blue flames blossomed, a thick ice shell was condensed over their heads again, supporting the white mudslide to pass by.

Li Yao did not know how long he had fallen through the gaps made of billions of years of ice and snow.

When the ‘sun catastrophe’ finally touched solid ground, they had arrived at a deep blue palace. The wrinkles of the glacier constituted all kinds of bizarre and bizarre appearances. The air seemed to have been compressed into quicksand and flake-like objects. Spiritual lodes were embedded in the ice that had not melted for thousands of years and were emitting splendid brilliance, like the beautiful corpses of ancient deadly beasts.

Looking up, they could vaguely see a zigzagging white line, which was the place where they had fallen a moment ago. There seemed to be no sign of broken ice or rolling

snow.

Li Yao took a long breath in relief. He collapsed in the spiritual residence and listened to the creaking noises of the units of the ‘sun catastrophe’, as if the soldiers of the Titan Warriors were suffering from arthritis.

It was safe for now.

But such ‘safety’ was like a survivor of a shipwreck who had just climbed onto a broken piece of driftwood. It did not mean much if he could catch his breath for a moment.
