At the heart of the stone statue.

In the center of a massive deep pit, a cluster of starlight gathered, the starlight flickering like fireflies, flying around the deep pit.

The deep pit was not made of stone but of a crimson crystal. Within the crystal were spots that resembled stars, slowly moving on the crimson crystal walls of the pit, their trajectories unpredictable like celestial paths.

Suspended in the deep pit was a heart-shaped crystal block. Beams of dazzling light from the crystal walls of the pit injected into the heart-shaped crystal block.

The crystal block was crystal clear and exquisitely beautiful, containing a mysterious and profound power. Looking at the crystal block gave one the illusion of gazing up at the vast starry sky.

The heart-shaped crystal block was only the size of a fist, appearing as a slightly larger light point in the vast deep pit, yet it emitted dazzling starlight, continuously releasing astonishing energy.

On the crystal walls of the deep pit, beams of dazzling light injected into the crimson crystal block, forming a dense natural barrier that enveloped the crystal block, which shimmered with brilliant light.

Outside the deep pit, Beiming Ce stood with a cold expression, along with three Dark Abyss warriors, all looking at the crystal block with surprise.

In the sky, a massive star river pattern appeared, with starlight falling like raindrops, swirling around the crystal block and slowly drifting.

Any warrior could sense the mysterious power from the crystal block. It seemed to have the divine power to gather the strength of the stars, making it incredibly attractive to any warrior.

Whether it was Beiming Ce or the three Dark Abyss warriors, they all felt greedy, their eyes fixed on the crystal block without a moment's shift.

"How has the young master not arrived yet? If this continues, this mysterious crystal block will be obtained by Beiming Ce," a Dark Abyss warrior at the First Heaven of the Hundred Tribulations Realm said coldly, his face pale and his expression eerie under the crystal block's rainbow light.

Two Dark Abyss warriors at the Third Heaven of the Human Realm stood on either side of him, also anxious, frequently looking around as if Mu Hui would appear at any moment.

Beiming Ce, with a stern face, extended his left hand again, and clusters of dark blue flames floated out. The dark blue flames slowly rose into the air, forming a large blue hand that suddenly reached for the crystal block.

"Boom!"

A huge resistance force suddenly emanated from the light barrier above the crystal block, intercepting the large hand formed by Beiming Ce's "Extreme Cold Ice Flame" martial soul.

The dark blue large hand exploded upon touching the light barrier.

Clusters of dark blue flames turned into small flames, shooting up above the light barrier, then quickly condensed back into a large blue hand.

Beiming Ce, not giving up, again activated his "Extreme Cold Ice Flame" martial soul and made another grab.

"Boom!"

The light barrier again burst with resistance, shattering Beiming Ce's Extreme Cold Ice Flame martial soul and dispersing it into blue flames.

Under Beiming Ce's repeated attacks, the light barrier continuously distorted, like a compressed balloon, suddenly contracting toward the crystal block.

Beiming Ce's Extreme Cold Ice Flame martial soul carried extreme cold, which could freeze everything. Each time he attacked the light barrier, a bit of the extreme cold seeped through.

After several attempts, the resistance of the light barrier seemed to weaken.

A hint of hidden joy flashed in Beiming Ce's eyes.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Under the watchful eyes of the three Dark Abyss warriors, Beiming Ce repeatedly activated his Extreme Cold Ice Flame martial soul, gradually seeping cold into the barrier, weakening its defense.

"Bad!"

The Dark Abyss warrior at the Hundred Tribulations Realm changed his expression slightly and said in a low voice, "At this rate, it won't be long before Beiming Ce gets the crystal block. If the young master doesn't come soon, it will be too late. If Beiming Ce gets the crystal block, we won't be able to explain to the Dark Lord and the Nether Lord."

"What should we do?"

"Disturb Beiming Ce!"

This person shouted, no longer hesitating, and with a thought, the Nether God Ghost Claw suddenly condensed.

When Beiming Ce's Extreme Cold Ice Flame martial soul transformed into a large blue hand and reached for the crystal block again, the Nether God Ghost Claw suddenly appeared, grabbing at the large blue hand.

"Chichi!"

Upon touching Beiming Ce's Extreme Cold Ice Flame transformed blue hand, the Nether God Ghost Claw slowed down, emitting blue light, and was suppressed by the Extreme Cold Ice Flame.

The other two Dark Abyss warriors, seeing the situation, also acted quickly, and numerous Nether Light Spikes suddenly shot out, filling the air and heading toward Beiming Ce.

Beiming Ce's expression suddenly turned cold, and he said calmly, "You finally couldn't resist."

With that, Beiming Ce's body suddenly disappeared from where he stood.

The next moment, Beiming Ce appeared beside the three Dark Abyss warriors, the Extreme Cold Ice Flame transforming into clusters of flames, enveloping the three.

The three were shocked and quickly joined forces to deal with Beiming Ce.

"Teleport!"

Beiming Ce shouted lightly and disappeared again.

"Bang!"

A Dark Abyss warrior at the Third Heaven of the Human Realm suddenly fell backward.

After he fell, Beiming Ce appeared, coldly laughing, "You dare to compete with me for food!"

Clusters of dark blue flames passed by the fallen warrior, who was completely frozen, his life force cut off by the cold, and he died on the spot.

"Teleport!"

Beiming Ce shouted again and appeared behind the remaining Dark Abyss warrior at the Third Heaven of the Human Realm, striking his head forcefully.

"Slap!"

A loud explosion came from the man's head, blood gushing from his seven orifices, and he died on the spot.

The remaining Dark Abyss warrior at the Hundred Tribulations Realm, terrified, suddenly sat down and fully activated the Nether Light Spikes.

Spikes, like green steel needles, suddenly shot out from his body in all directions.

"Although you are also at the Hundred Tribulations Realm, unfortunately, heaven did not favor you, granting you a martial soul," Beiming Ce's mocking voice slowly echoed.

A wall of ice formed by Extreme Cold Ice Flame blocked in front of him, stopping all the Nether Light Spikes, none of which could harm him.

The Dark Abyss warrior at the Hundred Tribulations Realm's face changed drastically, and he continued to activate the Nether Light Spikes, more spikes flying out in all directions.

He knew Beiming Ce had the Teleportation martial soul and dared not aim in one direction, even though it was extremely energy-consuming, he had no choice.

He wanted to buy time, waiting for Mu Hui to arrive.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that Mu Hui had already been killed by Shi Yan, and he was destined to wait in vain.

Beiming Ce stood calmly behind the ice wall, not in a hurry, looking at the man as if playing with a mouse, and said calmly, "I want to see how long you can last."

—Indeed, he couldn't last long.

Three minutes later, the Nether Light Spikes he released became increasingly sparse, and their power was much weaker than before.

The Nether Light Spikes were an extremely energy-consuming martial technique, each use requiring the essence to be condensed into needles, and the activation required a powerful essence impact.

Although the spikes were highly lethal, the energy consumption was also terrifying.

Therefore, he soon found his essence about to be depleted.

Why hasn't the young master come yet!

This person's face was anxious, his expression increasingly terrified, and his eyes increasingly uneasy.

"You won't wait long," Beiming Ce said coldly, seemingly knowing he was waiting for Mu Hui. "Because you are about to die!"

With that, Beiming Ce teleported again.

This time, his body condensed into ice, and he directly approached the man, ignoring the Nether Light Spikes.

In the man's terrified eyes, Beiming Ce's body gradually enlarged, and a mass of Extreme Cold Ice Flame covered him.

"Crack!"

His body quickly froze, becoming a corpse covered in thick ice, the terrified expression on his face frozen, turning into a grotesque icy corpse.

Beiming Ce kicked the man's body with a cold expression.

"Crack!"

The Dark Abyss warrior's body shattered into ice, with his limbs and head trapped in the ice.

—He was dismembered even after death.

Beiming Ce, calm and composed, slowly walked to the edge of the deep pit, frowning at the suspended crimson crystal block and murmuring, "Now, no one will disturb me."

"Tap tap!"

At this moment, light footsteps suddenly came from a distance.

Beiming Ce frowned, annoyed, and muttered, "What a nuisance, these Dark Abyss people are endless."

Turning around, Beiming Ce looked in the direction of the footsteps, his eyes cold.

"Huh!"

Beiming Ce exclaimed, a mocking smile appearing on his lips, "I didn't expect this kid to still be alive. The Dark Abyss people are truly useless, they couldn't even take care of him."

Shi Yan suddenly stopped, looking at the cold-faced Beiming Ce.

"Shi Yan, it's not easy for you to survive this long," Beiming Ce smiled faintly. "We both come from the Merchant Alliance and are from the five major families of Tianyun City. There's a chance we can become friends in the future. Therefore, I don't want to kill you. If you leave now, I'll pretend you never came."

"You don't want to kill me?" Shi Yan suddenly laughed.

"Yes, leave immediately! Before I change my mind," Beiming Ce nodded.

"But I want to kill you!" Shi Yan smiled, his eyes cold and merciless, "I've been waiting for this moment for a long time."

Beiming Ce was initially taken aback, then his expression suddenly turned cold, and he shook his head, muttering, "Truly reckless. Fine, killing you won't take much time. Eliminating you means the Shi family has no hope. I'm sure Grandfather will like what I do."

Saying this, Beiming Ce didn't even use his teleportation, but slowly walked toward him.

"Tap tap! Tap tap!"

At this moment, more footsteps came from a distance.

Soon, Mu Yudie and Di Yalan, looking disheveled, rushed over together.

After they arrived, neither of them looked at Shi Yan, both focusing on Beiming Ce, and Mu Yudie said happily, "Young Master Beiming, you're already here?"

Beiming Ce paused, smiled, and nodded at the two, "I've been here for a while, and I've already cleared out some Dark Abyss trash, saving us trouble later."

"I'm the trouble you haven't cleared yet," Shi Yan said coldly, feeling somewhat annoyed.

"You? Haha, you don't even qualify as trouble," Beiming Ce said disdainfully. "Killing you is no different from squashing an ant."

"I'm waiting for you."
