Just as Zhao Sheng and the other person were rapidly distancing themselves from the ruins in a chase, the platinum platform standing in the center of the ruins seemed to sense something. Suddenly, blood-colored patterns emerged on its smooth outer walls, interwoven like veins to form an incredibly plex ancient formation.
Strands of bloody light seeped out from within the platform, slightly illuminating the darkened sky. Meanwhile, deep underground, whose depth was unknown, a figure stood in the profound darkness.
These figures were numerous and extended to an unknown end, countless in number.
With the platform being activated by Feng Xianxian, two points of blood-colored light abruptly lit up in the deep darkness below. A figure lowered its head slowly lifted, gazing upwards as if sensing something.
This seemed like a trigger, as pairs of blood-red lights continuously lit up in the darkness, illuminating it with countless points of blood light, resembling stars twinkling in the night sky.
Naturally, Zhao Sheng remained unaware of these changes happening with the platform and below it.
At this moment, in order to shake off Feng Xianxian who was pursuing him, he had no choice but to activate Space-Time Teleportation six times in succession, transporting himself over two hundred li away in one go.
Utilizing the unique environment of the Ice Sealed Demon Abyss, he finally moved beyond the range of her Will Field, instantly concealing himself behind the layers of ice peaks, disappearing without a trace.
Feng Xianxian, unable to catch up for the moment, could only "watch" as the other party exceeded her sensing range of spiritual sense, losing his trail from then on.
Seeing this, she had no choice but to halt with a gloomy expression, then suddenly descend towards the ruins below...
After maneuvering over two thousand li, Zhao Sheng soon noticed the pervasive icy fog thinning, and the ice peaks being much sparser.
However, here, each ice peak was thicker and towering far taller than any he had previously encountered, with heights often exceeding a thousand zhang.
After a while, Zhao Sheng carefully avoided the roaming Ice Demons and continued to slide silently forward along the ground.
"Splash, splash..."
Midway through his journey, he suddenly heard a faint sound of flowing water ing from within an ice peak hundreds of zhang away.
Upon hearing the sound, Zhao Sheng turned his head towards that direction and immediately saw the ice peak seemed to be melting, with large clouds of fog rising from it into the sky, making the fog around this peak noticeably denser than its surroundings.
"This is... strange!" Zhao Sheng raised his eyebrow, immediately flying up towards the ice peak.
In a flash, he had arrived at the foot of the ice peak.
He looked up and saw a shimmering red light emanating from the depths of the ice peak. As soon as the red light entered his eyes, his eyeballs were pricked with a slight pain, then felt like they were being scalded by a hot iron, with waves of excruciating pain flooding over him.
Zhao Sheng quickly averted his gaze, relying only on his Original Spirit to sense.
Under the "view" of his spiritual sense, the shimmering red light turned transparent, revealing the strange thing inside the ice layer.
Within the ice peak, there was an unfathomably deep, viscous blood pool. The pool was surrounded by imposing white bones stacked together, with massive amounts of crimson blood surging like tides, covered by a thick blood mist on top.
However, regardless of how the blood waves surged below or the mist churned above, they always remained within the blood pool, never spilling out.
What shocked Zhao Sheng even more was that amidst the surging blood waves, a giant bone tree appeared intermittently. Its trunk was as thick as a giant beam, seemingly made from the entire spine of a powerful sentient being.
Segments of crystalline, jade-like white bones protruded from the blood waves like branches; some appeared to be the ribs of some massive beast, others seemed to be entire spinal columns, while others were countless twisted and interwoven arm bones.
Seeing this eerie scene, Zhao Sheng frowned slightly, a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes, thinking, "Which Immortal Venerable Great Ability’s handiwork is this Ice Sealed Demon Abyss? Too many strange things are sealed beneath this Demon Abyss. I better stray away early on, lest my curiosity leads me to an untimely death."
With this thought in mind, he intended to turn and leave.
However, in that moment, Zhao Sheng suddenly sensed an extremely urgent desire arising within him, followed by the inexplicable emission of an unimaginably powerful blood and flesh aura from the blood pool.
He abruptly halted his steps, with faint red light already falling on him, transmitting that instinctual desire for blood and flesh to every Primordial Cell within him through the red light.
Zhao Sheng’s eyebrows tightened, his eyes filled with caution, yet his instincts told him that if he missed the "opportunity" before him, he would undoubtedly regret it later.
After a brief hesitation, seeing the red light growing even more intense, Zhao Sheng decided to follow his instincts, immediately stepping to the edge of the ice peak, simultaneously expanding his Will Field to its fullest, attentively sensing any unusual situations around him.
He patiently sensed for an hour, all the while his surroundings remained deathly silent, without the slightest anomaly.
Witnessing this, Zhao Sheng relaxed his spirit slightly, peeking once more at the blood pool in the depths of the ice peak before quickly averting his gaze again.
In the next second, his right hand suddenly withdrew into his sleeve, only to reemerge with a bright silver peculiar weapon, resembling a rod yet also a blade.
With a wave of his hand, the rod-blade transformed into white light, piercing three feet deep into the ice surface.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Sheng felt greatly surprised, finding the ice peak "fragile" beyond expectation.
Next, he twisted the rod-blade, striking the ice surface continuously like torrential rain.
