Chapter 878: Chapter 820: Bing Ling (Vote for Yue)

After the surprise subsided, Jiang Yuebai immediately rushed into the ice debris resembling a small mountain to rapidly search through it. Any ice debris touched by her hand disappeared into her palm, directly absorbed into her body.

She smacked her lips, feeling a cool sensation and a taste reminiscent of aged wine, with an abundance of Demonic Qi.

The Demon Clan is full of ’mouths’; absorbing from any part is the same.

After searching for a while, Jiang Yuebai dragged out two enormous, ice-blue Demon Horns from the gradually diminishing ruins, larger than any she had collected before. The Demonic Qi on her body seemed to freeze just by holding them.

"There’s two Demon Horns here, much larger than an average Ice Demon’s. You take one and I’ll take one."

Jiang Yuebai generously tossed one Demon Horn in front of Lu Nanzhi, but if it were Wuqing, she wouldn’t be as generous.

Previously, when she absorbed various demons, she would set aside the Demon Horns separately. These horns are not only symbols of status and identity but also proof of one’s own abilities. They can be used to make weapons similar to the Human Clan’s Magic Treasures.

She had already planned that the next time she saw her brother, she would dump all her collected Demon Horns in front of him, burying him in them, to make him see her abilities and feel proud of her.

’Are you crazy!’

Another voice suddenly emerged in her mind, making Jiang Yuebai pause.

’It was your dear brother who washed away your memory, making you loyal to him, and yet you fell for it?’

Another voice appeared, with Jiang Yuebai’s two Divine Splits ’betraying’ her!

"Shut up!" Jiang Yuebai shouted angrily.

"Little Bai? What’s wrong?" Lu Nanzhi asked with concern.

Jiang Yuebai patted her own head, feeling conflicted inside, "It’s nothing, let’s keep moving."

With a wave of her hand, she absorbed all the remaining ice debris on the ground into her belly without a word and walked ahead.

Lu Nanzhi could roughly guess that Jiang Yuebai was experiencing a clash in her understanding due to memory issues, which had formed a knot in her heart that couldn’t be untied temporarily.

That feeling might be akin to... someone telling her now that Jiang Yuebai is not a good person, and everything good about Jiang Yuebai in her memory was implored using a special Method by Jiang Yuebai, and she must kill Jiang Yuebai.

If so, she would also be conflicted and find it hard to decide.

Therefore, Lu Nanzhi quickly understood Jiang Yuebai, silently reminding herself not to bring up Shen Mingjing for now, and to wait until Jiang Yuebai’s memory returns so she can make the right decision.

This time, with Jiang Yuebai in front and Lu Nanzhi behind, they proceeded without much communication, braving the fierce winds and snow along the way.

Every so often, they would come across guards resembling Demon God Ice Sculptures. Although these guards grew stronger and more numerous, they still required no action from Lu Nanzhi, as Jiang Yuebai could handle them alone.

She seemed to vent something, striking with forceful punches and launching violent attacks, clearing the battlefield thoroughly, consuming everything edible or otherwise, leaving ’not a scrap left’!

Lu Nanzhi noticed that proceeding through the gorge was easier compared to directly climbing the mountains. Perhaps this was the Ice Demon Ancestor teaching the Ice Demons that when the main path is blocked, take a smaller path; learn to adapt, don’t just charge blindly.

After stopping and starting for a full three days, the two finally saw the exit of the gorge.

Jiang Yuebai raised a hand to shield herself from the wind and snow, squinting as she gazed into the distance. Ahead lay an endless Glacier Plain.

Apart from the rampant wind and snow and the biting cold, the plain was empty, yet Jiang Yuebai sensed an extreme danger, making her instinctively step back two paces.

She turned to scan the surroundings, seeing the nearby mountains somewhat visible. Such an open area, once traversed, would certainly expose them, surely inviting an attack from the snow monsters atop the mountains.

Moreover, the aggressive noises around them had ceased two days ago, leaving the Trial Land eerily silent. It’s unclear if the eight true demons that entered earlier had all perished or had already crossed the mountains towards the Holy Ancestor Pond.

Or perhaps they abandoned the climb and decided to change course as she did.

Jiang Yuebai stepped back and suddenly asked Lu Nanzhi, "I almost forgot to ask you, is there a time limit for this trial? How is the trial completion determined, and when can we exit? Where is the exit set?"

Upon hearing Jiang Yuebai ask several questions in succession, Lu Nanzhi smiled; she was still the familiar Little Bai.

"Every time the Ice Demon Trial is opened, it consumes a large amount of demonic energy. It takes at least fifty years to accumulate enough to reopen it, letting the demons inside out."

"Fifty years?!" Jiang Yuebai was stunned.

Lu Nanzhi continued, "Cultivating at the Holy Ancestor Pond for fifty years yields results far surpassing a hundred years in other areas of the Demon Realm, and it can refine the Ice Demon Heart and Demon Spirit, greatly enhancing the overall strength of the Ice Demons. It’s the best place for me to achieve Divinity Transformation, according to him..."

"According to the previous plan, when I undergo Divinity Transformation, I can use the Demon Clan’s Earth Tribulation to counter the Heavenly Tribulation, allowing the Muddy Qi to completely wash away my flesh and blood. Then I can transform the Human Clan’s Primordial Spirit into a Demon Clan’s Demon Spirit. The next step is to find the true remains of the Ice Demon Ancestor in the Fallen Demon Abyss."

"Fallen Demon Abyss, where is that?" Jiang Yuebai asked curiously.

"I don’t know the specifics, but it’s definitely not within the Demon Realm. Little Bai, your cultivation technique and physique are very unique. Cultivating with Demonic Qi can also enhance you. Perhaps you can undergo Divinity Transformation here as well, which would give us greater assurance when we escape."

Jiang Yuebai suddenly had a thought, glanced around, and murmured, "I wonder if this place is sturdy... Let’s not think about this for now. I feel the Ice Field is very dangerous. We should wait for the other True Demons to arrive here and let them blaze the trail for us first."

Lu Nanzhi nodded, agreeing with the idea.

During the wait, Jiang Yuebai didn’t remain idle. Lu Nanzhi mentioned she had two Divine Splits, allowing her to create two clones. She had tried everything else, leaving only this unattempted.

Before losing her memory, Jiang Yuebai’s White Vine Avatar was always humanoid. This time, influenced by her current understanding, she used the white vines on her head to create a Mirage Demon Beast that looked exactly like her.

Immediately, she also attempted to create a Chana Girl Avatar, Sword Demon Avatar, Golden Demon Avatar, Fog Demon Avatar, and so on, unlocking another train of thought.

Lu Nanzhi watched her serious expression from the side, smiling knowingly, as Little Bai was gradually rediscovering her true self.

The two only waited half a day before hearing commotion on the Glacier Plain. Lu Nanzhi got up to check, and Jiang Yuebai’s Mirage Demon Beast clone immediately bounded up, quickly climbing onto Lu Nanzhi’s shoulder.

Youmeng, feeling threatened, emerged again, without hesitation swiping her claws at Jiang Yuebai’s Mirage Demon clone, striking accurately.

The Mirage Demon clone was scattered at once, turning into a few strands of white hair falling to the ground.

Jiang Yuebai’s true body bared her teeth at Youmeng, while Youmeng smugly snorted and returned to Lu Nanzhi’s body.

On the Glacier Plain, explosions were incessant, ice cones rained down wildly from the surrounding three mountains, while an ice-blue mist enveloped an ice demon that looked like a woman, dodging left and right, dashing forward at high speed.

The ice cones were too dense, and some were unavoidable. The ice demon continuously transformed the mist around her into ice walls to fend off the ice cone attacks.

But the attack wasn’t just coming from above; ice-blue demonic qi was also surging below the icy surface like venomous snakes, suddenly striking when least expected.

The female ice demon, caught off guard, was bitten by an ice snake crashing from below, her surrounding ice mist instantly absorbed, exposing her entire body.

The ice wall she used to block the ice cone rain also shattered, and a massive ice cone plummeted down, directly piercing through her body and striking her inner demon spirit.

The fist-sized blue-gray demon spirit, also humanoid in appearance, was pinned on the ice layer, with streaks of electric glows flickering inside the ice cone, silently bombarding the demon spirit.

The snake-like demonic qi below swarmed up, biting into the small demon spirit and absorbing its demonic qi.

The early-stage True Demon Realm female ice demon repeatedly tried to reform her body from the demon spirit, but she couldn’t gather any demonic qi.

She struggled for a solution, while Jiang Yuebai hesitated on whether to go out and take advantage of the situation, after all, it was a True Demon, but the ice cones on the mountain were also True Demon level, much stronger than those she had encountered earlier.

This indicated that the place would attack based on the trialist’s cultivation abilities, stronger against the strong, weaker against the weak.

At this moment, another True Demon Realm ice demon charged out from between two distant mountains. Seeing he was male, Jiang Yuebai’s eyes lit up.

Demon Realm Ten Great Delicacies, Bing Ling!

Due to the Ice Demon Ancestor, the ice demon’s fixed form most resembles the Human Clan. While they inherently have no gender, some ice demons prefer the appearance of men, while others prefer women.

Wuqing had shown Jiang Yuebai what Bing Ling looked like, so she could recognize him at a glance.

Bing Ling was mid-stage True Demon Realm. As he rushed from the distant gorge, he headed straight for the trapped female demon, but his intention wasn’t to rescue her; he struck just as the female demon was about to break free.

Demonic qi from his body formed ropes, with the tip carrying a crimson demon horn scythe. The female demon’s demon spirit couldn’t withstand the flames on it and was immediately pierced.

Bing Ling gave a fierce pull, and the demon spirit fell directly into his mouth.

Jiang Yuebai’s eyes widened, a big loss!

Hesitation indeed leads to failure; as a demon, one must never be indecisive!

Bing Ling’s movements were clearly superior, and he wielded a chain scythe made from a Fire Demon Horn. He glided across the ice surface, swinging the flame-filled scythe, effortlessly severing the torrential ice cones above, repelling the constantly emerging snakes below, completely at ease.

Jiang Yuebai bit her hand, hungry!

But she didn’t charge out recklessly, as Bing Ling’s fire scythe gave her an inspiration: she could play with fire too!
