Chapter 1327 - 660: Crystal Palace of Ice
As Liang Yuan threatened, the mist rumbled with thunderous vibrations.
Before long, the entire mist condensed into massive bear shadows one after another.
Chang Yuntao’s genetic map was originally the Ice Mist Illusion Bear, and now he could control the gathered mist on the entire island.
In an instant, seven or eight Ice Mist Illusion Bears appeared around.
One of them sneered, "Liang Yuan, you really dare to chase me here!"
Another Ice Mist Illusion Bear said, "You truly are strong, even stronger than the reports I received!"
The third Ice Mist Illusion Bear spoke, "But if you think you can certainly defeat me, then you are gravely mistaken!"
"In this Mist City, I am the master here!"
"Since you’ve come to me, why not stay!"
Whoosh—!
The surrounding mist surged instantly, and seven or eight Ice Mist Illusion Bears struck simultaneously!
Liang Yuan, seeing this, merely chuckled coldly, "Such mere illusions, and you treat them as a lifeline?"
With that, Liang Yuan’s spiritual power trembled violently, directly activating the Illusion Snake Talent Ability of the Spirit Turtle Illusion Snake.
Spiritual Pulse Resonance!
Buzz!
A mighty spiritual force suddenly erupted in a terrifying pulse, sweeping wildly in all directions.
These Ice Mist Illusion Bears collapsed almost instantly upon contact with the Spiritual Pulse Resonance!
Only the farthest Ice Mist Illusion Bear clutched its head, letting out a painful howl.
"Ah—!"
Liang Yuan’s gaze instantly locked onto it, chuckling coldly, "Found you!"
Swish!
He vanished in an instant, immediately catching up to Chang Yuntao ahead.
Chang Yuntao’s spiritual power wasn’t weak, with the Ice Mist Illusion Bear Genetic Map, which enhanced both his spirit attribute and ice attribute abilities.
This boosted his spiritual power significantly, allowing him to withstand Liang Yuan’s pure spiritual pulse attack.
It should be noted that Liang Yuan’s Spirit Turtle Illusion Snake Genetic Species is essentially a pure spiritual power genetic species.
Such pure spiritual power genetic species provide a strong enhancement to spiritual power.
Other types of genetic species generally can’t withstand it.
Chang Yuntao could withstand it, but only just.
He was already without the ability to resist.
"Damn it, damn it!"
Chang Yuntao endured the searing pain as if his mind was being torn apart, rapidly gathering his spiritual power into ice crystal brain mist, constantly altering the mist’s structure in his mind to offset Liang Yuan’s spiritual pulse tearing.
"How can he be this strong! What genetic species did he awaken?"
"Why does he possess so many genetic species?"
"If this continues, I’ll surely be defeated!"
Chang Yuntao felt discontent in his heart, sensing that Liang Yuan’s strength truly exceeded his expectations.
The opponent’s genetic species varied greatly, with countless abilities emerging in succession.
It was entirely different from his understanding of one person having one genetic map!
Rumble!
A booming explosion sounded from behind.
In an instant, the air current rolled, and Chang Yuntao’s back was in agony.
Unable to maintain his transformation state, he plunged down into the vast snowy field below.
Bang!
A snow crater exploded in the snowy field, and Liang Yuan immediately chased after it.
However, upon scanning the snow crater, his brow furrowed.
The snow crater was extremely deep, with no visible bottom.
Liang Yuan suddenly remembered, "Isn’t this the entrance to that Brain Lake from before?"
"Is Chang Yuntao heading towards the Brain Lake?"
Liang Yuan’s heart stirred, his figure flickered, and he immediately pursued.
In the deep pit, snow piled up, ice crystals, and ice blades everywhere, the temperature here was extremely low.
Compared to the first time he came, there wasn’t much change here, except the temperature had gotten even lower.
Liang Yuan wondered, "Why did Chang Yuntao run here? Does he have more tricks up his sleeve?"
Thinking this, Liang Yuan looked alert.
His heart shifted, and he immediately changed his internal genetic species, gradually turning into a flat shadow state.
A shadow darted rapidly through the cave, tracking the traces on the ground.
"These traces seem to have been left intentionally by Chang Yuntao, he’s indeed luring me!"
Looking at the traces on the ground, Liang Yuan chuckled coldly.
"Let’s see what tricks you have up your sleeve."
At this point, Liang Yuan couldn’t give up halfway.
Today, he must capture Chang Yuntao and take over this ice attribute floating island!
Swish!
The shadow flickered, swiftly shuttling through the surrounding shadows.
Soon, Liang Yuan passed through the long path of blood vessels, and that familiar flat lake appeared ahead.
This is the Brain Lake of Mist City!
The Brain Lake was immense and had already frozen over, as it was inside the floating island, there was no falling snow here anymore.
Liang Yuan’s gaze swept around, discovering no trace of Chang Yuntao!
He didn’t know where the other party had hidden.
Liang Yuan’s expression slightly flickered, and his figure rose into the air, scanning in all directions.
In just two minutes, he found a gap on the Brain Lake.
The ice layer on the lake had been broken, seemingly not long ago.
"Did he enter the Brain Lake?"
Liang Yuan frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.
The most valuable item inside the Brain Lake would be the Brain Core.
The Brain Core had long been refined by Chang Yuntao, and now there was supposedly nothing of value left in this vast Brain Lake.
Why did Chang Yuntao attract him here at this time?
"Could he have set up a contingency here in advance?"
Liang Yuan became wary.
It’s said that pursuing a cornered enemy is unwise; this is an ancient wisdom passed down through generations.
But having already chased him to this point, if he couldn’t defeat Chang Yuntao in one strike, giving him a chance to recover later could make it hard to kill him.
The key is that he needs to head to the ocean abyss next to find the people on Spirit Jade Island.
If he can’t completely resolve the issue with Chang Yuntao, how could he leave Yangshan with peace of mind?
Thinking of this, Liang Yuan’s expression immediately turned somber, no longer hesitating.
Whoosh!
With a leap, he entered the Brain Lake in a shadow state.
Inside the Brain Lake, the sticky liquid water had surprisingly not frozen.
Liang Yuan swiftly traversed through the water, and in his shadow state, this brain-like liquid couldn’t touch him.
However, the area of this Brain Lake was quite extensive, even with the range covered by his current spiritual power, searching through it would take tens of seconds.
Whoosh—!
His spiritual power rapidly sensed the surroundings, perhaps due to the Brain Lake, there seemed to be many remnants of spiritual power here, and Liang Yuan could feel significant obstacles when his spiritual power penetrated the lake.
This made it even harder to probe the surroundings.
After a few minutes, Liang Yuan suddenly paused, suddenly sensing a powerful spirit force emerging from a certain direction within the Brain Lake!
"What’s going on? This spirit force—something’s off!"
Liang Yuan’s heart tightened, swiftly swimming towards the direction the spirit power originated from.
Not long after, he saw near the edge of the lake, close to the flesh wall, was a path of dark red blood vessel!
That powerful spirit power was emanating from here!
Liang Yuan was astonished, this blood vessel path led straight to the Brain Lake, he hadn’t noticed it in his hurried approach last time.
Immediately, Liang Yuan’s figure flickered, swiftly diving in.
The blood vessel path wasn’t too long, and in no time, Liang Yuan had reached the end of the path.
The end of the path led to a massive chamber made entirely of blood ice.
At this moment, the chamber walls were covered with various complex runes.
These runes looked ancient, frozen within the flesh walls.
Now they were emitting a brilliant icy blue light.
Liang Yuan’s gaze rapidly scanned the interior of the chamber, where a gigantic ice crystal palace stood in the middle.
Countless frost runes were gathered on the palace.
These runes intermingled harmoniously, seemingly containing some array circulation within.
Liang Yuan quickly arrived at the palace entrance, looking up at the plaque on the ice crystal palace.
The plaque was inscribed with complex oracle bone script, which Liang Yuan didn’t recognize.
"How could there be an oracle bone script ice palace here?"
"Did Chang Yuntao hide inside? What is he doing in there? Is there something inside that could help him turn the tides?"
A series of doubts and questions surged in Liang Yuan’s mind.
He hesitated slightly at the entrance, choosing not to enter directly.
"Since this ice palace operates with runes forming an array, no matter what schemes Chang Yuntao is planning inside, I’ll destroy these rune arrays and break the ice palace first!"
Liang Yuan immediately conceived an idea, his figure twisting, activating the Ice Bear genetic species.
In an instant, his body transformed into a massive Ice Bear.
The enormous body suddenly made the entire chamber feel cramped.
Liang Yuan gathered all his strength, and with a pair of bear paws, fiercely struck the ice crystal palace!
Rumble!
With a thunderous roar, his two bear paws, like twin mountains of flesh, furiously smashed down.
Thud thud!
Two terrifying muffled booms shook the air, causing it to explode.
However, a shocking scene unfolded before Liang Yuan!
Despite using all his strength, the ice crystal palace did not budge!
Not even a crack appeared!
The terrifying counterforce caused intense pain in Liang Yuan’s hands and arms, making his gigantic Ice Bear body stagger back several steps!
Liang Yuan’s eyes widened: "How could this be! In my current state, I could smash an ice mountain, let alone an ice crystal palace!"
"Yet the ice crystal palace remains unbroken? This... how is this possible?"
Liang Yuan couldn’t believe it, turning to look at the blue runes embedded within the surrounding ice.
"Could it be due to the runes’ enhancement?"
Liang Yuan refused to give up, gathering all his strength again and simultaneously activating the [Muscle Burst] skill.
In an instant, his Qi and blood surged like mercury, roaring intensely.
His two bear paws, grew noticeably larger.
Liang Yuan didn’t hesitate, fiercely smashing with both palms!
Rumble!
With terrifying power injected, the bear paws smashed down like the heavens collapsing.
Bang—!
The violent tremors erupted with terrifying noise, causing the entire blood-stained chamber to shake slightly!
Yet despite this, the ice crystal palace remained as steady as Mount Tai!
Inside, the strong, terrifying spirit force was rapidly rising and awakening!
Liang Yuan’s scalp tingled.
"Chang Yuntao! What exactly are you doing!"
The terrifying magnitude of this spirit force far exceeded what Chang Yuntao could unleash!
This was definitely not the spirit pressure Chang Yuntao could currently exert!
"I must leave immediately, staying here any longer is dangerous!"
Liang Yuan’s expression turned solemn, decisively choosing to abandon, turning around to leave!
