--- Chapter 217 ---

"Higher ground?" Snow Empress couldn't help but slowly tilt her head in wonder. "Weren't you just underestimating them?"

"Just one dark creature is already equivalent to a 10,000 years old spirit beast." She weirdly continued. "You are only a spirit saint... I doubt you could achieve much with that level of cultivation."

Yunlong's body composedly was flared with a gentle spirit saint's aura, it wasn't weak nor strong, but Snow Empress couldn't really see his true strength.

"Yunlong isn't weak..." Kaguya calmly commented while chewing her sweets.

She briefly glanced at Snow Empress's eyes and bluntly added, "Your eyes are just too mediocre to see it."

ROARRRR! AUUUUUUU!

The vast snowy lands violently were shaken because of dark creatures' heavy steps. More than 100,000 dark beasts and soldiers are moving forward with the intent to exterminate Gu Yuena, who was sealing the dimensional crack.

"They are coming." Yunlong gradually grinned, which caused Snow Empress to frown slightly.

"Do you need our help?" The Ice Emperor suddenly asked while worriedly looking at the incoming dark creatures.

"Ice Emperor, that's not a question you should have asked for." Snow Empress walked forward.

Snow Empress naturally watched upon her domain and felt anger in her heart when these invaders entered this land. "This is our home, so we must protect it." She indifferently declared.

"Why do you even ask such a question?"

Ice Emperor's expression became solemn because Gu Yuena's powerful impression left her heart in anguish. She couldn't think clearly about her responsibility.

"Haa... Sorry, Snow." The Ice Emperor released a heavy sigh. "I should have known better."

Snow Empress beautifully smiled and nodded her head in consent because her close friend eventually realized this. Even though they are losing in number and strength, that doesn't mean they are weak.

They are noble spirit beasts who have passed the 300,000 years old threshold, which firmly puts them above the rest.

Snow Empress released a cold aura from her body and created a blizzard storm around them. "Snowy Dance of Ultimate Ice." She said while clenching her hands.

The dark creatures immediately lose their sense of direction because Snow Empress's domain blocked them away.

Ice Emperor didn't want to be left behind and swiftly raised her slender hand to the sky. "Permafrost." She chanted with confidence.

BOOM!

The snowy field abruptly was enchanted with green-jade light, which caused the temperature to drop immediately and trapped dark creatures in ultimate ice.

"This is ultimate ice, huh," Yunlong casually commented while feeling his skin shivered slightly.

"Are you just gonna stand there?" Snow Empress hurriedly moved her gaze to Yunlong, who shrugged his shoulders.

Yunlong activated sharingan and instantly created an ice sword out of thin air, which he cast Material Reinforcement because it's definitely not strong enough.

"Don't tell me you're going to fight them straight on?!" Ice Emperor's eyes widened by what Yunlong was about to do next.

"Huu... Maximum Effort." Yunlong abruptly hopped off the ice cliff.

"Are you crazy!" Ice Emperor couldn't help but shout in annoyance.

BOOM!

Yunlong smashed the snow and landed in front of the dark creature with a calm expression. "Great Unison Art: Simple Solution." He swiftly moved forward.

The dark creatures tackled Yunlong, but he didn't even glance at them and severed their hearts without any problem.

[You have killed...]

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony Activated]

[You have received...]

Yunlong's eyes shone with a crimson gleam, and another system notification appeared in his head.

[You have triggered a Quest]

[Quest Name: Prevent the Invaders]

[Objective: Don't let a single dark creature disturb Gu Yuena from sealing the dimensional crack]

[Reward: 1x Random Skill, 100,000 System Points, 1x Dragon Heart Fruit]

[Y/N]

"Yes," Yunlong answered while dodging the incoming iron spear, which seemingly was thrown by a dark warrior.

He caught the spear with his left hand and stabbed the nearest dark creature's heart with it.

"This human, how could he fight like that..." Snow Empress solemnly observed Yunlong, who moved like a ghost on the battlefield.

"He didn't even stay in one place for more than a second and already killed at least fifty of them." She continued with a frown on her face.

Yunlong's body burst out with intense killing intent, which caused the death god domain to spread. He slowly tilted his ice sword and gently slashed horizontally.

"Second Verse: Death."

Gu Yuena's body suddenly jolted in surprise because she felt a familiar sensation crawling into her skin, which could only happen because of Asura God's presence.

"To think Asura gifted his personal sword technique to Yunlong..." Gu Yuena muttered while shaking her head. "He certainly cherished his inheritor."

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The entire dark creatures' army quickly was washed by dread crimson light and tremendous shockwave, which nearly caused half of them to scatter into dust.

[You have killed...]

[You...]

[...]

[...]

Yunlong released a heavy breath and looked at the ice sword, which literally had become dust because the technique he used was too powerful.

He smiled wryly and commented, "Even Material Reinforcement couldn't firmly strengthen that ice sword."

"Well, that was a God Technique for a reason." He added while creating an ice scythe.

Yunlong swiftly entered a steady horse stance and grasped the scythe's handle with a firm grip.

If Bibi Dong were here, she'd be surprised because Yunlong's movement and stance were awkwardly familiar.

"Shatters..." Yunlong muttered while swinging his ice scythe, which launched numerous wide energy slashes at the dark creatures' army.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOOOOOM!

The dimensional crack was shrinking because of Gu Yuena's space sealing ability, but a great beast suddenly crawled out of it.

"Woah..." Yunlong gradually raised his gaze and looked at the towering beast in front of him.

It was an excessively enormous bear with furs that was full of decayed grass. This beast was the great protector of Erk's home, which has experienced the same fate as Erk.

[Name: Night Forest's Protector]

[Species: Royal Vajra Bear]

[Estimate Strength/Cultivation Age: 300,000 years old]

[Description: Night Forest's Protector, who got revived by death lich]

"Death Lich..." Yunlong grimaced because the black-hooded person in Erk's memory probably was the death lich.

Yunlong glanced at Snow Empress briefly and noticed her expression became solemn. "Do they feel it as well?" He shook his head.

"Just a little more." Yunlong moved his gaze back to the dimensional crack.

Night Forest's Protector roared angrily and rushed toward Yunlong with heavy momentum, which caused the ground to tremble with each step.

Yunlong smiled slightly and said, "Well, Big guy, let's have fun for a bit."
