Wu Shattered Star River

Half a year!

Jiang Han spent half a year in the Dark Path, exploring thousands of dark fortresses. He thoroughly investigated these fortresses and transmitted the general information back through the horn given by Pei Zui.

In reality, there wasn't much to investigate in the Dark Path. Currently, the Dark Path doesn't seem to have any intention of engaging in a full-scale war with the Light Path, so the information gathered now isn't of great significance.

Therefore, after exploring a few thousand dark fortresses, Pei Zui sent a message instructing Jiang Han not to focus on exploring the fortresses but to investigate the situation in the Arctic.

Jiang Han had now arrived near the Dark Valley, the sacred ground of the Dark Path. There were significantly more cultivators here than in other places. Many large clans resided within the mountains near the Dark Valley, with numerous cultivators and strong individuals.

Jiang Han circled the Dark Valley three times, recording the nearby terrain and conditions, and then headed north.

This time, he hardly stopped, and even released the Immortal Evasion Technique to escape through the air.

After continuously escaping through the air for seven or eight days, Jiang Han arrived at the northernmost part of the Dark Path, entering a vast, white wasteland.

The temperature here was extremely low, visibility was poor, and blizzards raged with sand and stones flying everywhere.

The temperature here wasn't like that of the lower realms, even lower than that of the Land of Extreme Winter. Ordinary Heavenly Emperors might not be able to withstand it; at least a Saint Ruler was needed to endure the low temperatures here.

The visibility here was only a few hundred feet, but the soul perception wasn't restricted and could easily explore thousands of miles away.

"Entered the Arctic?"

Jiang Han looked around. The situation here was somewhat similar to what Pei Yunrui had described. This should be the outer periphery of the Arctic.

He wandered around, but the surroundings were all barren, with nothing, not even a single living creature.

Jiang Han continued to move inward. The wind and snow grew heavier, and he could see many glaciers.

The temperature continued to drop. Jiang Han's physical body was strong, so this bit of cold wasn't anything to him. After running for a few days, he encountered the first living creature, a strange beast.

This strange beast burrowed out of the ground, round and plump, without sharp claws or a powerful beastly aura. However, this strange beast was very fast. It broke through the ice and opened its large mouth, swallowing Jiang Han in one gulp.

Jiang Han hadn't reacted in time, but when the strange beast opened its mouth, streams of cold air emerged.

This cold air was extremely terrifying, slowing Jiang Han's movements, making it impossible for him to avoid it.

Jiang Han was swallowed in one gulp. After being swallowed, the cold currents in the strange beast's belly were even more terrifying, freezing him into an ice sculpture. At this moment, Jiang Han couldn't move even a finger, except for his soul.

However, he wasn't flustered at all. If his physical body was destroyed, he could be reborn. He wanted to see how this strange beast would kill him.

After he was swallowed into the strange beast's belly, a stream of blue liquid immediately surged over, starting to corrode his physical body.

This green liquid was very strong, and his physical body was quickly corroded. As his physical body was corroded, the cold air on his body disappeared. Then, he detonated his physical body.

"Boom!"

Although he detonated his physical body, the strange beast's body was very strong. He didn't shatter the strange beast, but he did injure its stomach.

He was reborn inside the strange beast's body. As soon as he was reborn, he mobilized the power of Primal Chaos, fiercely striking towards the strange beast's belly.

"Boom!"

The power of Primal Chaos exploded, blasting a bloody hole in its belly and injuring its internal organs. Jiang Han drilled out of the strange beast's belly.

"Woo woo!"

The strange beast was injured and let out a painful roar. Its body shot backward, and it spat out streams of air from its mouth, rapidly melting the underground glacier. Its body burrowed under the glacier.

What was magical was that as soon as it entered the glacier, the glacier automatically froze, and soon even its aura couldn't be sensed.

Jiang Han didn't chase after it. It was just a strange beast. What was the point of killing it?

He pondered for a moment, feeling that this strange beast's combat power was comparable to a Dao Ancestor Realm five or six level cultivator.

This strange beast walked on the glacier as if it were flat ground, and it was silent. Its attacks were very sudden and hard to defend against. The key was that the cold air it spewed was very terrifying. Ordinary Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators probably couldn't withstand it unless they reached the Dao Ancestor Realm seventh level.

Jiang Han estimated that ordinary Dao Ancestor Realm sixth level cultivators might suffer if they were suddenly attacked by it. If it was a powerful Dao Ancestor Realm sixth level cultivator, then there wouldn't be a big problem. Dao Ancestor Realm seventh level cultivators should be able to easily kill this strange beast.

"Go!"

Jiang Han continued to run, feeling somewhat solemn inside.

He had only encountered one strange beast, and it was already so powerful? As a native here, and a descendant of the Supreme God, were their combat powers generally very strong? Could the powerful Ice Snow Clan borrow the terrain here to double their combat power?

Continuing forward, after running for more than two hours, he was attacked by a strange beast again, the same kind as before.

This time, Jiang Han reacted, releasing the True Demon Spear and directly knocking the strange beast away.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

According to the information, the Ice Snow Clan hid under the glaciers all year round, making it difficult to find them. So Jiang Han wanted to stir things up to see if he could alarm some Ice Snow Clan members.

He fought with this strange beast for half an hour. The strange beast was covered in wounds and eventually disappeared into the glacier. What disappointed Jiang Han was that no Ice Snow Clan members appeared nearby.

He could only continue forward.

As he continued forward, he encountered strange beasts along the way. Each time, Jiang Han would fight fiercely with the strange beasts, wanting to use this to alarm the Ice Snow Clan. Unfortunately, after traveling for five or six days, he had encountered more than a dozen strange beasts, but no Ice Snow Clan members had appeared.

He took out the map and looked at it, checking the places marked on it where the Ice Snow Clan hid.

However, the scenery here all felt the same, all ice plains and ice mountains, and the wind and snow were too heavy, with extremely low visibility. Relying on soul perception couldn't explore too far.

He could only continue forward while searching.

After traveling for more than ten days, he arrived at an ice plain. There were several huge ice mountains here. Jiang Han looked at the map, and his eyes lit up slightly.

He had found a gathering place for the Ice Snow Clan.

The map called this mountain range the Ice Perch Mountain Range!

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Before he could get close to the mountain range, the nearby ice layer exploded. Then, countless small, fluffy white beasts swarmed towards him. He couldn't see the end of them at a glance. It was conservatively estimated that there were thousands of them, and even more white beasts were pouring out from under the ice layer.

"What are these things?"

Jiang Han didn't panic. He directly condensed a True Demon Battle Armor outside his body. He felt that these small beasts' attacks weren't very strong.

Soon...

He realized he was wrong, terribly wrong!
