Chapter 634: Chapter 481: Frostglow Boundary Stele, Seeking Allies (Part 2)

Qin Tian sighed silently, his gaze sweeping over the depths of the pile of wreckage; the entrance to the Ice God Treasure Vault was hidden below.

He did not approach rashly, first checking the surrounding situation, expanding his sensory range several times. He did not detect any human presence. As it stands, he is the only one who knows about this Ice God Treasure Vault.

However, he did not relax his vigilance. As long as his own aura leaks, some of the monster corpses in front of him will definitely wake up and launch an attack against him.

If he is careless, not only will the treasure vault fail to open, but he himself will also get hurt.

“Let’s give it a try first.”

Having made up his mind, Qin Tian slowly exited the stealth state, holding Frost Boundary Stele in his palm, gently injecting spiritual energy.

The ice-blue light burst from the stele’s body again, projecting from Qin Tian’s fingertips onto the ground.

In the next moment, the ground rippled like water, ancient runes began to emerge from the frozen earth, resonating with the patterns on the stele, and a faint spatial fluctuation spread out.

This is the first step to opening the treasure vault, requiring the rune of the ice stele to match the energy fluctuation of the vault, akin to a layered password validation process, taking at least a few minutes.

But just as the runes were about to light up completely, the ground suddenly shook violently.

“Crack—crack—”

Some of the monster carcasses that had been silent for a thousand years actually began to slowly stand up.

Some missing half of their body, some with crooked heads, black flames igniting in their eye sockets, spewing dark green energy balls, while others were covered with broken scales, directly pouncing towards Qin Tian, numbering in the thousands.

Moreover, increasingly more monsters were awakening.

“It’s indeed not possible!” Qin Tian shook his head slightly, decisively interrupting the spiritual energy input.

The process of opening the treasure vault cannot be distracted; once interrupted, not only will it be all for naught, but there’s also the possibility of energy backlash.

Gripping Frost Boundary Stele with his left hand, he stored it into the spirit space; with his right hand, he slashed out a violet electric sword qi with Black Frost Blade, repelling the few monsters in front of him, while the Demon King’s Wings behind him suddenly flapped, initiating spatial blinking, instantly appearing behind an ice rock dozens of kilometers away.

The monsters pounced in vain, raising their heads to howl crazily, the black aura was getting increasingly thick, subtly showing signs of more monsters awakening from the wreckage.

Qin Tian leaned against the ice rock, his eyes flashing.

Opening the treasure vault requires time, and the process must not be disturbed by anyone, so he needs help.

Without a doubt, the only people he can trust are Zhuge Yu and the newly acquainted Taishi Feng and Hou Yuansheng.

Fortunately, before entering the relic, he left a mark on the three of them.

Qin Tian sensed the position of the marks, and coincidentally, Zhuge Yu and Taishi Feng were actually together. However, the two marks were moving rapidly, unsure whether they were pursuing something or evading something.

Qin Tian did not think much, directly opening the Gate of Space to teleport there.

……

The roaring wind twisted goose feather snowflakes into sharp ice blades, slashing across the snowfield as if trying to drill into the crevices of bones to freeze the flesh to pieces.

In the chaotic snowstorm with visibility of less than ten meters, two figures were sprinting forward with all their might.

Zhuge Yu with his blue robe fluttering, the hem torn with several openings, his messy ink-black hair stuck to his pale cheeks, yet the eyes that are always squinted did not show any panic, but rather a few traces of calm calculation.

Beside him was the burly and valiant Taishi Feng, a thin layer of ice condensed on the black iron battle armor, with dark red blood seeping through the seams of the armor, evidently having taken quite an injury.

Yet this burly man still maintained a straight back, holding the Heaven-piercing Halberd with one hand, the tip of the halberd pointing diagonally at the ground. His every step was as steady as a rock, occasionally glancing back, the sharpness in his eyes like an unsheathed cold blade, firmly locking onto the blood-red figure chasing from behind.

The blood-red figure was getting closer to them, the bloodlight carrying a thick stench, slicing a glaring red streak through the snowstorm, revealing an ugly face inside.

Asaki Luoho sneered, his scarlet pupils like the eyes of a venomous snake, locking onto Zhuge Yu, his hoarse voice penetrating the wind and snow with a cruel smile: “Zhuge Yu, you can’t escape.”

Before entering the relic, his cousin Inzaghi Luoho instructed him to kill the man named Qin Tian, while the elders of the family ordered him to eliminate Zhuge Yu from the Zhuge Clan.

The Luoho Clan and the Dongfang Clan are political archenemies, with the Zhuge Clan as the firmest allies of the Dongfang Clan. Over the years, they have often tripped up the Luoho Clan using Zhuge Jin’s position as the chief of the Senate.

Especially this time, Zhuge Jin exploited the matter of Inzaghi imprisoning Gao Shiniang and concealing the relic, causing the Luoho Clan to lose a lot of resources, and even two fewer spots to enter the relic compared to other Holy Blood Clans.

This feud definitely needed to be avenged fiercely.

The Blood Shadow Jade on Asaki’s chest was emitting a faint red light; it not only shields him from Zhuge Clan’s renowned celestial techniques, making Zhuge Yu unable to predict his actions, but also magnetically locks onto Zhuge Yu’s aura, preventing him from escaping the palm of his hand no matter how he navigates.

After entering the relic, he did nothing else but directly chased Zhuge Yu.

Although when he found the target, Zhuge Yu was accompanied by a man in armor, as long as they’re not from the Holy Blood Clan and have cultivation below Tier Seven, they’re no different from small fish in his eyes.

Asaki flicked his wrist, the blood-red sword qi slashed through the sky like a scarlet python with an ear-piercing sound, aiming at Zhuge Yu and Taishi Feng.

Zhuge Yu’s eyes focused, having already anticipated this strike, quickly forming a dharma seal with both hands. The frozen soil underfoot suddenly bulged, a three-meter thick ice wall rose from the ground, attempting to block the sword qi.
