Chapter 2912
As Kai spoke, a heavy silence fell over the group. They could only stare at the massive ice coffins in front of them, exchanging uneasy glances!
“Kai, look! Is there blood inside this ice coffin?”
Liu Ruyan suddenly exclaimed, having spotted something unusual within one of the coffins. She called out to Kai!
Kai rushed over and, to his astonishment, he noticed delicate strands of blood within the ice coffin. They were so faint that if he hadn’t looked closely, he would have missed them entirely!
The blood strands appeared to be writhing as if they were alive!
Upon seeing this, Kai quickly placed his hand on the top of the ice coffin. Instantly, a wave of frigid air surged into his body, causing him to shiver involuntarily!
His entire arm began to frost over rapidly, as if it were about to freeze solid against the coffin!
“Mr. Chen, this ice is a thousand years old! You mustn’t touch it for too long, or you’ll get frozen…”
Seeing the situation, Tile Jar hurriedly stepped forward to pull Kai away!
“Don’t move me…”
Kai halted Tile Jar’s attempt and summoned a powerful flame in his palm, gradually melting the frost that had formed!
Using the Heart Condensation Technique, Kai’s palm generated a strong suction force, drawing the blood threads out of the ice coffin!
These blood strands broke free from the coffin and floated in mid-air. Kai reached out to grab them but found it impossible!
Undeterred, he continued to extract the remaining blood threads from the coffin!
Before long, a mass of blood threads twisted together, forming a swirling blood ball!
As they gazed at the blood ball, surprise washed over their faces!
The mass emitted an icy aura that sent chills through everyone present!
“Could this be the blood of an Ice Spirit Beast? If it transforms, we’ll be in serious trouble…”
Wajang said, his voice laced with concern!
Just then, as if on cue, the blood ball erupted, releasing a mist that gradually revealed the silhouette of an Ice Spirit Beast!
“Ice Spirit Beast! Ice Spirit Beast…”
Wajang’s face drained of color at the sight!
The rest of the group tensed, with Liu Ruyan hiding behind Kai!
“There’s no need to panic; it’s merely a shadow. It lacks real strength; we can handle it…”
Kai reassured Liu Ruyan, though he directed his words to Tile Jar, Ji Yun, and the others as well!
“Tile Jar, you speak too carelessly! Now look what you’ve summoned…”
Liu Ruyan teased Tile Jar!
Tile Jar felt embarrassed; he had only spoken lightly, never expecting it to turn out to be true—the blood was indeed from an Ice Spirit Beast, now manifested as a remnant!
Despite being just a remnant, the group felt the danger and instinctively took a step back!
The remnant of the Ice Spirit Beast lifted its head, surveying the crowd with a fierce, commanding gaze!
At that moment, everyone else was on the palace roof, meditating and absorbing the energy from the ice crystals, completely unaware of the remnant’s emergence below!
Only two demonic cultivators had been observing the unfolding scene!
The Ice Spirit Beast’s massive claws struck the ground, unleashing an overwhelming wave of cold air that surged toward Kai and the others like a monstrous tide!
The air around them froze, causing Kai and his companions to shiver, their bodies encased in frost!
In response, Ji Yun swiftly produced a formation plate and tossed it in front of the group. A transparent barrier appeared, momentarily shielding them from the relentless cold!
Unfortunately, the barrier held for only a few seconds before shattering!
Ji Yun quickly hurled another array disc, hoping it would buy them even a brief reprieve!
It was clear that Ji Yun, the wealthy young man, had no qualms about spending his resources!
