Having finished this, Yan Zhaoge no longer looked at the state of the flowing blue stream of light that was the Ice Pith Vein, not even turning to look back as he speedily flew upwards.
Above, extremely terrifying fluctuations could already be felt.
Ah Hu’s figure appeared, virtually hurried to the point of not choosing his path as he escaped towards the bottom of the deep crater.
Just behind him, terrifying thunderbolts and a dark storm intermingled, forming a scene of destruction as it swept through the ice cave.
Winds and thunder surged between the heavens and the earth, enveloping this deep crater, causing the world of ice and snow to currently have transformed into a world of storms and thunderbolts.
As not just a single Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster made a move, not even yet able to see their figures, the true thunderbolts and storms as formed of their true essence were already able to easily collapse the cave of ice.
The terrifying power obscured the heavens and concealed the sun. Raising his head upwards at this moment, Yan Zhaoge was unable to see any sunlight filtering in downwards at all.
Within the darkness, countless shattered rocks and chunks of ice descended like a pouring rain.
Yan Zhaoge spread the Immortal Crane Wings behind his back, quick as speeding lightning as he agilely and subtly dodged the shattered fragments of ice and rock that were as dense as rain.
However, these shattered fragments were actually not the scary part.
What was scary was the storm and thunderbolts that followed closely after, continuing to rampage as they wrecked the ice cave.
From the black storm, an ancient voice emanated, “Child of Broad Creed Mountain, hand over your life!”
Meanwhile, the voice of a middle-aged man resounded from amongst the thunderbolts, “Broad Creed Young Master, a dragon amongst dragons. A pleasure to meet you.”
“If we slay you here, Broad Creed Mountain will probably be as mad as leaping thunder, dealing out tragic vengeance to our clan?”
Gradually, a tall figure that resembled a great divinity of thunder appeared amongst the thunderbolts, “However, some things that I heard earlier have made me feel that if we can leave you here behind forever, to our clan, the pros would outweigh the cons.”
The Elder of the Heavenly Thunder Hall surnamed Zhen strode in huge steps into the ice cave.
By his side, the face of the remnant Elder of Black Nightmare Mountain, Zheng Shuo, was even darker.
Behind Elder Zhen and Zheng Shuo followed many other Martial Grandmaster experts of the Heavenly Thunder Hall, not concealing their powerful auras in the least, dense thunderclouds seemingly hanging above all their heads.
As the violent sound of thunder resounded, amongst them, there were even two more Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster experts, at the fourth level of the Martial Grandmaster realm.
A grand total of four Essence Spirit Martial Grandmasters had come here, directly trapping Yan Zhaoge and Ah Hu within this ice cave.
Despite their path having been blocked, Yan Zhaoge did not appeared panicked in the least as he instead laughed, “It is really not a convenient time for me now.”
As he said this, he raised the ice-blue piece of jade, “Have you also come here for the legacy of the Glacial Dragon Martial Saint?”
Stimulated by his aura-qi, the piece of jade shone with an ice-blue lustre, the sound of a dragon’s roar vaguely resounding.
Feeling the spiritual qi fluctuations from the piece of jade, Elder Zhen’s pupils instantly dilated slightly, “Of the same source as the legacy site, indeed the key to unlocking it.”
Not wasting time on words, he directly reached out, grabbing towards Yan Zhaoge.
The terrifying light of thunder transformed into a massive heaven-covering hand, entangled by countless purplish-green electric snakes.
Yan Zhaoge performed a flinging motion, the ice-blue piece of jade dropping towards the depths of the ice cave.
At the same time, he grabbed Ah Hu, entering the Underground Splitting Shuttle, transforming into a streak of light and shooting into the ice layer.
Elder Zhen chortled, still grabbing towards Yan Zhaoge and the Underground Splitting Shuttle. Another Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster of the Heavenly Thunder Hall descended, going to retrieve the fallen piece of jade.
Zheng Shuo didn’t even glance at the jade coin, his gaze always fixated on Yan Zhaoge.
A boundless black hurricane, resembling an enraged dragoon, chased after Yan Zhaoge in hot pursuit.
Outside, amongst the group of Heavenly Thunder Hall martial practitioners, Lin Zhou’s figure appeared. He took out an orb, resembling a chain as within a massive transparent orb lay an even smaller orb.
Lin Zhou shattered the orb, its fragments transforming into radiance which instantly sealed the surrounding ice layer, forming a glowing screen.
As Yan Zhaoge’s Underground Splitting Shuttle rushed within the radiance, while it was still able to proceed forward, its speed had clearly slowed.
Behind him, Elder Zhen, Zheng Shuo and the others were almost catching up.
Yan Zhaoge shattered a newly produced Blood Devil Plate, the brutal bloodied light breaking the radiance that blocked his path.
However, this was a strange chain barrier. As soon as a layer of radiance was broken, yet another layer immediately resealed the area.
Yan Zhaoge raised his brows slightly, “Yin Yang Chain Barrier? This is a rare thing ah.”
Lin Zhou looked coldly at Yan Zhaoge and the Underground Splitting Shuttle, “Yan Zhaoge, did you think you could still perform the same old trick as last time?”
While Elder Zhen and the other Essence Spirit Martial Grandmasters were already closing in on him, Yan Zhaoge still laughed casually, “I think that I can.”
Before his words had landed, from the depths of the ice cave beneath, a powerful aura that was terrifying to the extreme, causing everyone to feel numb in both body and soul, surged up into the skies!

HSSB342: The graveyard forged by Yan Zhaoge
The violent tides of coldness rose from the depths of the ice cave, surging up towards the skies!
The terrifying blue light instantly swept through the ice cave from below, sealing everything that it came into contact with in ice.
Having disturbed the Ice Pith Vein earlier, when Lin Zhou had come to assault, Yan Zhaoge had suddenly kept the Earth Devouring Burner, breaking off the process.
The cold qi of the ice pith, having been continually devoured by the Earth Devouring Burner earlier, had vaguely formed an equilibrium with it. This outlet channel having been removed now, the pressure on it within a short period of time erupted mightily with an even more ferocious power.
The Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster of the Heavenly Thunder Hall who had descended into the depths of the ice cave earlier in an attempt to retrieve the ice-blue jade coin that Yan Zhaoge had thrown down was met with the eruption of the tides of coldness.
Seemingly faced with a sudden eruption of force, this Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster completely didn’t have the time to evade at all, as he was instantly consumed by a blue stream of light!
He wanted to shout, to roar in rage, yet discovered that he completely couldn’t utter a sound at all.
His entire body’s true essence became unable to circulate, falling into a deathly silence.
He couldn’t feel any pain at all, only numbness as his senses had deserted him.
His thoughts grew silent, no longer able to consider matters as his mind wavered towards oblivion.
Of the three Essence Spirit Martial Grandmasters of the Heavenly Thunder Hall, as the other besides him and Elder Zhen saw this occur, his expression immediately changed.
Feeling the terrifying eruption force of the Ice Pith Vein, this third Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster did not dare to approach lightly, flicking his hand as a purple cha
in flew towards his entrapped comrade.
The purple chain wrapped itself around that frozen Martial Grandmaster, attempting to drag him out.
However, that chain instantly grew taut. As the third Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster pulled it, he was completely unable to move it as he instead felt that the purple chain had been frozen as well.
Dim blue icicles quickly spread along the surface of the purple chain, moving towards its owner’s hand!
The purple light of thunder along the chain’s surface was completely extinguished, a mid-grade spirit artifact destroyed just like that.
The owner of the spirit artifact was shocked as he quickly released his grip, forsaking his former spirit artifact.
Just at the same time that he released his grip, the icicles spread, freezing the entire purple chain solid.
As its owner released his grip, with its other end connected to the Ice Pith Vein, the chain did not droop with its weight, instead being frozen into a taut line.
The ferocious ice-blue light speedily rose, engulfing and freezing everything that stood in its path.
The storm and thunderbolts that had still been rampaging within the ice cave a moment ago was now completely also engulfed by it.
The storm and the thunderbolts were sealed in ice just like this, yet not having its original appearance changed as they still remained in the form of countless electric snakes and hurricanes, just that they seemed all to be an image on a painting scroll, the deviating, abnormal scene appearing even more strange and terrifying.
As long as it was something that lay close to the ice cave, whether it was a human or an object, or even aura-qi or true essence, it was immediately frozen solid by the erupting tides of coldness.
That Heavenly Thunder Hall Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster who had flung out his purple chain in an attempt to save his entrapped comrade earlier had been extremely cautious, keeping himself safe before attempting a rescue, but faced with the terrifying eruption of the Ice Pith Vein, he had still been helpless to do anything.
Seeing that this was the case, he immediately forsook his mid-grade spirit artifact, wanting to extricate himself from the situation.
Yet, because of the entanglement of the purple chain with the tides of coldness earlier, even if he wanted to run now, it was already too late.
The ferocious ice-blue light was even faster than him.
Heavenly Thunder Hall martial practitioners had always been the proudest of their own speed, having the qualifications to preside over all martial practitioners of the Eight Extremities World at the same cultivation level in that regard.
However, faced with this terrifying force of nature at this moment, he was still too slow.
Feeling a leg grow numb, this Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster knew that things were bad.
He could also be considered a decisive person as he directly hacked out with his palm, hacking off that numb leg of his, lest his entire body be infiltrated by that cold qi.
Still, he was a step too slow. Very quickly, he met the same fate as his comrade earlier on.
He lost all sense of feeling, his true essence ceasing to circulate, his mind growing dazed and blank.
After just a single moment’s work, yet another early Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster was engulfed by the erupting ice-blue light.
With it even so for an early Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster, less had to be said for the others within the ice cave.
One after another, the martial practitioners of the Heavenly Thunder Hall within were all engulfed by the ice-blue light.
Their bodies fell within the Ice Pith Vein, very quickly being sealed within ice, yet still perfectly preserved, resembling insects that had been sealed within amber.
Yet, the next moment, their corpses began to gradually disperse, gradually transforming into ash under the extreme coldness, not a thing left behind at all.
Because they had gone to chase Yan Zhaoge, Elder Zhen and Zheng Shuo were currently comparatively further away from the ice-blue light.
Looking at the eruption of the terrifying tides of coldness, their faces were illuminated livid by the blue light.
However, at this time, they were not of the leisure to care about Yan Zhaoge and the Underground Splitting Shuttle any longer. How to survive against these terrifying tides of coldness was what was currently really the most important for them.
The tides of coldness rampaged, spurting upwards from the depths of the ice cave like a geyser.
Directly heading upwards, flying towards the top of the massive crater, one would not be able to outrun the erupting coldness no matter what.
Elder Zhen and Zheng Shuo made a prompt decision, individually slamming straight into the ice layers closest to them.
Not requiring an intricate technique like the Underground Splitting Shuttle, the power of Essence Spirit Martial Grandmasters alone was sufficient to directly shatter the ice layer, before rushing within.
Virtually at the same time that they slammed within the ice layers, the terrifying tides of coldness shot past them, erupting all the way upwards.
Not giving them a chance to catch their breaths, ice-blue light also began chasing them by route of the ice layers that they had forcibly broken through.
While their speed was much slower as compared to the geyser which had erupted directly upwards, they still followed behind Elder Zhen and Zheng Shuo like floodwaters.
The two Essence Spirit Martial Grandmasters did not dare to delay their steps in the least as they continued speeding forward, forcibly forcing out a tunnel based on their own strength, hurrying along all the way as they evaded the ice-blue light that was following behind them like shadows.
At the highest point of them all, the furthest away from the depths of the ice cave where the tides of coldness had erupted, Lin Zhou was not immediately greeted by this great terrifying natural disaster.
However, witnessing the fate of his seniors of the clan, he still shivered in his boots.
Not daring to hesitate in the least, he immediately turned tail and ran.
At the same time, he did not proceed upwards, which would be equivalent to seeking death. Let alone Lin Zhou, even Elder Zhen had not had the confidence to outrun the tides of coldness.
He raised his hands, an extremely powerful aura of electricity suddenly emanating from his body.
Within the extreme darkness, a strange silvery light of thunder suddenly lit up, mightily striking the ice layer before him, breaking it apart.
Lin Zhou promptly shot within.
At that last moment, Lin Zhou looked rather unresignedly at the direction in which Yan Zhaoge had gone, seeing that Yan Zhaoge and the Underground Splitting Shuttle, obstructed by the Yin Yang Chain Barrier, had been slowed somewhat, still yet to completely enter the ice layer at this time.
Despite him no longer being pursued by Elder Zhen and Zheng Shuo, the ice-blue light had already caught up with Yan Zhaoge!
“You also have today?” Lin Zhou’s gaze was cold as a look of joy flashed across his face.
Within the Underground Splitting Shuttle, Yan Zhaoge felt something as he swivelled his head, just happening to meet Lin Zhou’s gaze directly.
Vaguely seeing the emotions revealed within Lin Zhou’s gaze, Yan Zhaoge smiled slightly, taking out the Earth Devouring Burner neither hurriedly nor slowly.
Then, under Lin Zhou’s virtually imploding eyeballs, Yan Zhaoge devoured the encroaching tides of coldness with the Earth Devouring Burner, then leisurely proceeded within the ice layer.
The next moment, the tides of coldness surged madly out of the earth, completely burying everyone who had not managed to escape from the ice cave in time.
Resembling a massive ice coffin, a graveyard of extreme coldness.

HSSB343: A Martial Saint’s legacy site
With the equilibrium already broken, it would not be easy for the currently r
ampaging Ice Pith Vein to regain its equilibrium once more.
While he had the help of the Earth Devouring Burner to obstruct it, Yan Zhaoge could also not continue staying around here as he left the area with the Underground Splitting Shuttle.
Tides of extreme coldness chased after them, strengthening the ice layer, expanding unceasingly outwards.
Only after he had fled a long distance away did Yan Zhaoge feel the tides of coldness gradually calm behind him.
Also sitting within the Underground Splitting Shuttle, Ah Hu gazed warily behind.
“Young Master, such a massive change happening with the Ice Pith Vein; might it affect your plan?”
Yan Zhaoge said upon hearing his words, “It’s fine. Coincidentally, this final bit has magnified the effects the most. Currently, it is already enough.”
“Over at the Southern Wilderness, it is only a matter of time now.”
Controlling the Underground Splitting Shuttle, Yan Zhaoge headed upwards, finally emerging on the Extreme Northern Snowy Plains once more.
Looking back in the direction of that ice cave, blue light that shot to the heavens could still indistinctly be seen. While it had already begun falling, regaining its calm, one seemed still to be able to feel that terrifying power of destruction.
Yan Zhaoge clicked his tongue in praise, “The mighty power of the heavens and the earth truly is stunning.”
Ah Hu said, “Young Master, what do we do now? Return to that blue hot spring that can be used to treat Shi Jun and his mother?”
Yan Zhaoge shook his head, “Now is still not the time. Counting the days, some time is still required for spiritual qi to be accumulated there.”
“While the eruptive force of the Ice Pith Vein was used just now to bury a great number of Heavenly Thunder Hall martial practitioners, some experts of the Heavenly Thunder Hall are still alive around here. That Black Nightmare Mountain Martial Grandmaster seems also to have survived.”
“With everyone striving to survive earlier as we fled in different directions, we all lost traces of one another. Still, they will most likely be searching for us in this area, so it is best that we do not remain around here.”
