Chapter 100: Carry!

When Mu Yudie and Di Yalan arrived, they first greeted Beimeng Ce, then their attention was drawn to the crystal block floating in the center of the deep pit. The two women's eyes sparkled with excitement as they gazed at the crystal, clearly sensing the mysterious energy emanating from it.

Any martial artist could tell that this crystal was extraordinary!

Mu Yudie and Di Yalan had endured numerous dangers on their journey, outwitting and outfighting the experts of Dark Nether, and overcoming the Firestone Golems, Yinsha, and Mud Dragons. They had finally made it here, all for this great opportunity.

As for Shi Yan, the two women glanced at him briefly and then paid no further attention.

Beimeng Ce wore a mocking smile, not even using his Instant Teleportation martial soul, and walked step by step toward Shi Yan.

Shi Yan stood rooted to the spot, as if waiting for Beimeng Ce to make his move. The Petrification martial soul of the Shi family had already been secretly activated, turning his body a dark brown.

Silently, Shi Yan used the Yin energy and essence within his body to construct three Magnetic Extinction Fields around him. He controlled these fields with his mind, gradually spreading them out.

He had witnessed Beimeng Ce's Instant Teleportation martial soul before and had learned from Han Zhong about its formidable power. The three Magnetic Extinction Fields were specifically designed to counter Beimeng Ce's Instant Teleportation martial soul.

"You seek your own death, so don't blame me." Beimeng Ce stopped ten meters from Shi Yan, his face cold as he slowly raised his left hand.

A ball of deep blue, extremely cold ice flame slowly condensed in his palm...

With a flick of his wrist, the ball of deep blue flame transformed into a cold bird with flapping wings, gracefully flying through the air, leaving a beautiful trail of blue fire.

The cold bird was lifelike, with fine, long feathers on its palm-sized head clearly visible. Strands of blue ice flame flickered in and out of the small bird's mouth, emitting a cold, icy light.

Beimeng Ce's face was cold, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, as if he felt that using the extremely cold ice flame martial soul against Shi Yan was overkill.

As the cold bird flew toward Shi Yan like a predator, a cold light flashed in Shi Yan's eyes.

A large green light ball, carrying dense Yin energy, suddenly burst from Shi Yan's chest, with electric sparks swirling around it, and Yin energy radiating out.

"Boom!"

The green light ball struck the cold bird, producing a loud explosion.

Brilliant blue and green light burst out like fireworks, and the green light ball and the cold bird split apart, turning into blue and green light points.

"Hmm?"

Beimeng Ce's brows furrowed slightly, surprised. He looked at Shi Yan and nodded slowly, "Not bad, no wonder you could defeat Mo Zhan. You do have some tricks up your sleeve."

After saying this, Beimeng Ce's expression suddenly turned serious.

More extremely cold ice flames suddenly erupted from his body, making Beimeng Ce seem like a ball of icy fire. Strands of deep blue flames continuously spewed from his body, transforming into thousands of cold rays that surged toward Shi Yan from all directions, like birds returning to their nest.

The intense coldness permeated the air even before the cold rays approached.

Standing still, Shi Yan felt a chill, as if the space around him was frozen.

The flow of essence within his body began to slow under the cold, and the coldness seeped into his bones, making his muscles and bones feel stiff.

At this moment!

A warm current flowed from his flesh and bones, and his body automatically took defensive action against the cold.

The Undying martial soul!

Shi Yan's eyes lit up, and he felt a surge of joy.

The warm current spread through his body like lightning, and in the next moment, the coldness within him was completely dispelled, no longer affecting him.

All of this happened in an instant. By the time Shi Yan returned to normal, the thousands of cold rays were already within arm's reach.

"Yin Wall!"

A green light shield suddenly formed around him, the Yin Wall created by Yin energy, shimmering with a dark, eerie glow.

The Yin Wall, like an overturned bowl, firmly enveloped Shi Yan. It was thin and translucent, allowing him to clearly see Beimeng Ce ten meters away.

The Profound Yin Technique, though a mere Mortal-level martial art, could absorb Yin energy from the heavens and earth, forming Yin Vortices and Yin Pearls.

The Profound Yin Technique was a martial art that specialized in the use of Yin energy. By using Yin Vortices and Yin Pearls, Shi Yan could instantly form various offensive and defensive techniques. As long as the Yin Pearls were not destroyed, Yin energy could continuously surge from his body, sufficient to counter many attacks.

This Yin Wall was condensed from Yin energy, similar to the Black Light Shield formed by essence. Mastering the Profound Yin Technique, Shi Yan found that he could form various levels of special attacks and defenses with it.

With further exploration, the Profound Yin Technique seemed to offer endless surprises.

"Pop, pop, pop! Pop, pop, pop!"

Strands of cold rays shot toward the shimmering green Yin Wall but were neutralized by the Yin energy on the wall.

Beimeng Ce's extremely cold ice flame martial soul could not instantly freeze the Yin Wall and harm Shi Yan.

Shi Yan had not even used his negative energy.

The Yin Wall formed by the Yin Pearls seemed to counter the extremely cold ice flame martial soul, though he could feel the Yin energy points in the Yin Vortices rapidly depleting.

The Yin energy of the Profound Yin Technique could not be replenished by the essence of the heavens and earth; it could only be enhanced by gathering more Yin energy.

Each bit of Yin energy consumed was a bit lost, and without a special place rich in Yin energy, the Yin Pearls would not grow stronger.

However, this time, Shi Yan had swept away the Yin energy that had enveloped the Absolute Yin Plain for thousands of years, forming six Yin Pearls that contained an extremely powerful Yin energy. This was enough for him to calmly deal with the slow corrosion and invasion of Beimeng Ce's extremely cold ice flame martial soul.

Strands of cold rays struck the green Yin Wall, and the coldness that seeped through was quickly neutralized by the Yin energy within the wall.

Thus, the battle between Beimeng Ce and Shi Yan was at a stalemate from the very beginning!

Beimeng Ce did not believe that Shi Yan's green wall could withstand the coldness of the extremely cold ice flame. In his view, Shi Yan, at the First Heaven of the Human Realm, could only last a few seconds.

—He did not know that Shi Yan had advanced to the Second Heaven of the Human Realm.

Therefore, he kept driving more extremely cold ice flames, transforming them into more cold rays to bombard Shi Yan's green wall.

Shi Yan, having absorbed so much Yin energy and formed six Yin Pearls containing immense Yin energy, was not afraid of a prolonged battle with Beimeng Ce, who was at the Hundred Tribulations Realm.

Moreover, he had not even used his negative energy!

Shi Yan, confident and fearless, was more than willing to continue the prolonged battle with Beimeng Ce.

Mu Yudie and Di Yalan watched the battle between Beimeng Ce and Shi Yan, their faces full of curiosity.

They knew the strength of Beimeng Ce.

At the Hundred Tribulations Realm! Dual martial souls! Mastering the most profound and mysterious martial arts of the Beimeng family, Beimeng Ce was a prodigy!

At the First Heaven of the Hundred Tribulations Realm, Beimeng Ce could easily defeat a martial artist at the Second Heaven of the Hundred Tribulations Realm. Even against a martial artist at the Third Heaven of the Hundred Tribulations Realm, Beimeng Ce could still fight and might not lose.

However, in this battle with the young man from the Shi family, Beimeng Ce's extremely cold ice flame martial soul could not break through the barrier Shi Yan had constructed!

This left Mu Yudie and Di Yalan puzzled.

During the Martial Arts Competition at the Divine Stone Plaza, though they were impressed by Shi Yan's strength, he was only at the Third Heaven of the Innate Realm.

Two months after the competition, even with Shi Yan's remarkable talent, he could have at most advanced to the First Heaven of the Human Realm.

How could a martial artist at the First Heaven of the Human Realm withstand Beimeng Ce?

Seeing Shi Yan standing firm under Beimeng Ce's extremely cold ice flame, showing no signs of defeat, the two women were secretly amazed, their gazes toward Shi Yan filled with curiosity.

Five minutes, ten minutes, half an hour!

After half an hour, the Yin Wall surrounding Shi Yan remained unbroken!

Shi Yan was calm and composed, showing no impatience, and was content to continue.

Beimeng Ce, however, could not stand it any longer.

After a moment's hesitation, Beimeng Ce withdrew his extremely cold ice flame martial soul, stopping the attack, and coldly said, "I don't want to waste time with you."

He slowly drew a strange long sword, half red and half blue.

"Sky-Cleaving Sword!"

Mu Yudie and Di Yalan both gasped, and their eyes flashed with pity and regret, as if they had already determined that Shi Yan was doomed.

The Sky-Cleaving Sword was a Spirit-level weapon, originally belonging to Beimeng Shang. He had entered the heart of a ten-thousand-foot volcano using the extremely cold ice flame martial soul of the Beimeng family and spent three years refining it with volcanic fire and extremely cold ice flame!

The Sky-Cleaving Sword was divided into two colors, one side red and the other blue, possessing both volcanic fire and extremely cold ice flame attributes.

With the Sky-Cleaving Sword, Beimeng Shang had swept through Tianyun City, never encountering a match. The Sky-Cleaving Sword was not only indestructible and incredibly sharp but also had the dual attributes of volcanic fire and extremely cold ice flame.

Martial artists touched by the Sky-Cleaving Sword would first freeze and then be melted by the terrifying volcanic fire, making it extremely fearsome.

Mu Yudie and Di Yalan had witnessed the power of the Sky-Cleaving Sword and knew its terror well.

Therefore, when the Sky-Cleaving Sword appeared, the two women instinctively thought Shi Yan was finished.

Instant Teleportation!

Beimeng Ce muttered to himself, instantly appearing in front of Shi Yan and slashing with the Sky-Cleaving Sword, a red and blue light flashing in the air.

"Swish!"

The Yin Wall was split in two, unable to withstand the sharpness of the Sky-Cleaving Sword.

Shi Yan was startled, his entire body surging with power, and he suddenly darted into the Magnetic Extinction Field behind him.

At the same time, the other two Magnetic Extinction Fields also drifted over, merging with the one Shi Yan was in.

The space around Shi Yan suddenly twisted strangely, as if it had been compressed, causing a brief collapse.

Standing within the house-sized, invisible Magnetic Extinction Field, Shi Yan felt a bit more at ease, his eyes growing even more fierce as he coldly stared at Beimeng Ce.

Shi Yan was waiting! Waiting for Beimeng Ce to activate his Instant Teleportation martial soul again, waiting for him to enter the Magnetic Extinction Field!

Beimeng Ce did not disappoint him and indeed activated his Instant Teleportation martial soul again.
