Heaven Destroyer

Everyone looked at the ice essence inside the ditch formed by the spirit stone boulder, waiting eagerly for Rebecca to take—Rebecca turned towards Ayaan and smiled. "This is a good thing. Why don't you take it? After all, now, you are also an ice elemental cultivator and everyone knows you could use it better than I."

As the group heard her words, they turned towards Ayaan. He looked at the blue-eyed lady and felt warmth. Even at this moment, she was thinking about him. How much she had sacrificed for his sake. He did not know. But he wanted to give her all the happiness this world has to offer. "It is just the lowest level of ice essence. What are you hesitating for? Take it. Furthermore, this thing has summoned you, who means it wants you as its master, not me." He didn't even look at the ice essence and chided her.

She smiled at his reply as if already expecting such an answer—then turned towards the white orb as it shined brightly and released white luminous light, taking it into her hand and placed her spirit mark on it. Last time when she tamed Fire Essence she had destroyed its awareness. While this time it was Ice Essence that had summoned her and was acting quite intimately with her, as if it was an innocent child who had seen a next-door uncle with a bar of chocolate. Therefore Rebecca did not destroy its consciousness this time.

"Alright, it's done." She turned around after placing the Ice Essence into her consciousness and said. "What next?"

"Next?" Ayaan smiled. "We will go to the Capital. It's time to wreak havoc! Victor, Emperor, and Heavenly Palace!" he gritted his teeth when he said the last name and his eyes turned colder than ever.

"Did we find a group of youngsters who entered the pagoda?"

In the dark-room sounded a deep and dignified and authoritative voice, and a tall man sat on a huge throne—the throne was made of unknown material and it looked like the combination of thousands of snakes. Two wrist handles of the throne were made of two large open mouths of the cobra, revealing its sharp, piercing and poisonous fangs inside. The man leaned on his right hand lazily, as he looked at the kneeling man in front of him.

"My Lord, we have received news about that group," said the man, while head still down. "The information came from Victor so I am not too confident about it though."

"Oh, Elder Luan's son?" asked a man, and yawned lazily on his throne. 

"Yes, third Elder," said the man.

"Don't worry, he won't dare to lie. What he said?"

"It is said that the man went to the Odoport and killed hundreds of bandits there, saving people in the city." 

"And?"

"Our people noticed traces of him entering Snow Lake."

"Hmm, Snow Lake?" The Third Elder narrowed his eyes. "Anything more?"

"After they entered Snow Lake, we lost all of them." The man shook his head regretfully. "It's been over three months since they have entered Snow Lake. they are just Embryonic Realm Cultivators, no matter how talented they are, beasts would devour them, even if they could endure extreme cold."

The Third Elder waved his hand, dismissing man's theory. "Remember to never look down upon your enemy and you will win every time. And when someone starts to look down on his enemies, there will be no progress on his cultivation path."

"I-I understand, Elder," said the man, lowering his head even further.

"The news has already reached the Leader, and he wants to capture those youngsters as soon as possible. They must have a tremendous secret, if we could acquire it, it won't be long before we reach the higher world, far higher than this tiny world." The Third Elder said while his eyes flickered with darkness. "Before this matter goes out of our hand, we have to handle it. Go ask elder Luan, he will be going for an adventure."

"Yes, Elder," the man bowed once more and left the dark room, hurriedly he didn't want to stay here anymore. As this place looked rather spooky.

The Third Eder looked at the retreating man and leaned over his right hand once more, and closed his eyes. Only he and his darkness left behind.

The group walked out of the ice mountain and stood in front of it, looking at its majestic height in awe. Now Ayaan Ayaan had the answer of his question. How this mountain could stand on the Snow Lake: Because this place was no more lake, no more water, no more viscous. It was solid than iron, sturdier than Everest. who knew how many more Ice Essence were hidden here? But the time was short, and he did not want to stay here forever.

"Let's go," said Ayaan smilingly as his companions. Everyone had benefited tremendously from this place and they were no more the same as before, no more easy target for anyone, no more prey, but now, they were hunters, and their prey was Heavenly Palace.

"Roar!" 

As the group started their next journey, they saw an enormous pack of jackals standing in front of them. Ayaan exchanged glances with everyone and chuckled. These fucking jackals also made him run away like those bastards of the Heavenly Palace. 

"Attack!" without thinking much, Ayaan shouted. Now there was no weakling in his group—even Ifre and Akash were far stronger than before—everyone took their weapons and started the slaughter of the beasts. Ifre was also given a sword by Leafwhisk while they practiced in the Spirit Stone mine.

Though Leafwhisk's energy was suppressed due to the environment disadvantage, she could still slaughter these beasts as simple as chicken. The Pupa Realm was no joke.

"Boom!"

"Bang!"

"Badumb!"

Many sound effects sounded, and white land turned red, guts and faeces scattered. Heads and limbs twitch even after leaving the body. The gory scene, but the group was already accustomed to such scenes and killed every single one of these beasts without twitching their nose. Not letting any beast escape.
