Chapter 776 - 511: The Demon Emperor Breaks Through the Forbidden Land, Yan Zhen Is Captured

BOOM—

With a deafening roar, the grand array was instantly shattered by the Demon Emperor.

The Frost Demon Emperor, leading countless Frost Demon Race members, charged out.

Frost Outposts filled every corner of the city, flooding like a surging tide and overwhelming all of Ice and Snow City.

Fortunately, everyone left in Ice and Snow City at this moment was a cultivator above the Integration Stage.

They wouldn't be slaughtered by the Frost Outpost forces.

"So it was you all who kept this Demon Emperor sealed up?"

The Frost Demon Emperor looked at Yan Zhen and the others, a look of disdain in her eyes.

These Human Race cultivators might have some strength, but they still weren't worth her notice.

With a wave of her hand, the Frost Demon Emperor sent five Demon Kings and numerous Frost Demon Beasts to slaughter Yan Zhen and her group.

Yan Zhen swung her hand, summoning the Ice and Snow Sword, slashing out streaks of Sword Aura.

Each Sword Aura unleashed could slay all Demon Beasts of the Frost Race below the Demon King level.

Even if a Demon King didn't dodge, they'd still be seriously injured.

This Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure's power was extraordinary—while not as domineering as the Frost Staff, it was still a Middle Grade Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure-level weapon.

RUMBLE—

In an instant, the Frost Race and the Human Race defenders of Ice and Snow City clashed, the sounds of battle echoing incessantly.

Thousands of miles away, Lin Chang'sheng sensed the disturbance in Ice and Snow City and immediately engraved a Teleportation Array to transport himself over in an instant.

Carving the Teleportation Array consumed a lot of Primordial Power, but now he couldn't afford to worry about that.

"Sister Zhen!"

Lin Chang'sheng saw Yan Zhen and the other Human Race cultivators surrounded and attacked by Frost Demon Kings, and he immediately shouted.

"Chang'sheng, don't come! Run!"

Yan Zhen knew they were no match for the Frost Demon Emperor and hoped Lin Chang'sheng could escape as far as possible.

Otherwise, they might all die here.

But how could Lin Chang'sheng abandon Yan Zhen?

He immediately summoned the Dragon Abyss Sword and joined the battlefield, activating the Divine Blood Transformation Technique to push his power straight up to the Early Stage of Tribulation Crossing.

Lin Chang'sheng knew the Divine Thunder Bow couldn't critically harm a Frost Demon King-level opponent.

But the Dragon Abyss Sword could.

After all, the Dragon Abyss Sword housed Immortal Power that could trigger Immortal Power attacks.

Immortal Power attacks might not critically injure the Frost Demon Emperor, but were enough to seriously injure a Frost Demon King.

"Die!"

Lin Chang'sheng unleashed his Sword Aura with a slash.

CRACK—

In that moment, the entire sky was filled with Celestial Thunder, mixed with the Power of Flame.

This exact move was the Thunder Flame Godslaying Slash, terrifyingly powerful, merging Celestial Thunder and Flame Power into one.

This terrifying Sword Aura struck the two Frost Demon Kings in front.

One Frost Demon King, realizing something was wrong, quickly dodged away, but the other wasn't so lucky and was directly struck by the Blade Aura.

RUMBLE—

With a fierce roar, that Frost Demon King had an arm severed by the powerful Sword Aura, crashing from the sky and landing on the ground, gravely wounded.

Lin Chang'sheng at Mahayana Stage could never have wounded a Late Stage Tribulation Crossing Frost Demon King.

But now, at Early Stage Tribulation Crossing, he could.

Combined with his Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure unleashing Immortal Power, he still couldn't match the Frost Demon Emperor, but he could definitely handle the Frost Demon Kings.

"Is the Scepter in your hands?"

Luo Shuang's gaze fell on Lin Chang'sheng because she sensed the presence of the Frost Staff on him.

"Wow, your nose is pretty sharp. You can sniff that out from here?"

Lin Chang'sheng sneered coldly.

"Hand over the Frost Staff now and I might spare your life. Otherwise, no one can save you today!"

The Frost Demon Emperor threatened coldly.

If not for the array in Lin Chang'sheng's hands, she would have already tried to snatch the Cold Ice Staff herself.

"You're welcome to try."

Lin Chang'sheng waved his hand, taking out the Holy Soul Banner once again.

He wanted to see if the Frost Demon Emperor dared approach.

If she did, he'd just trap her inside.

"You—"

The Frost Demon Emperor saw the Holy Soul Banner in Lin Chang'sheng's hand and was so enraged, she couldn't even speak.

Though the Holy Soul Banner couldn't pose her great harm, it was still able to trap her.

So, the Frost Demon Emperor didn't dare act rashly either.

Seeing that the Frost Demon Emperor didn't dare act recklessly, Lin Chang'sheng let out a cold laugh.

Then, with a wave, he summoned the three Corpse Puppets and the Wolf Race powerhouses.

With the addition of the Peak Late Stage Tribulation Crossing Corpse Puppets and Wolf Race powerhouses, Yan Zhen and the others suddenly felt less pressure.

Several Demon Kings were forced to keep retreating under the assault.

The Frost Demon Emperor also began to notice Lin Chang'sheng's concern for Yan Zhen. If she got control of Yan Zhen, Lin Chang'sheng would surely surrender the Frost Staff.

"Hold him off!"

The Frost Demon Emperor gave an order, and all the Demon Kings instantly rushed toward Lin Chang'sheng.

Even with the Dragon Abyss Sword in hand, Lin Chang'sheng was forced to constantly fall back under the combined assault of several Demon Kings.

As Lin Chang'sheng was retreating rapidly, the Frost Demon Emperor charged at Yan Zhen.

She unleashed a torrent of Power of Cold Ice; Yan Zhen's attack speed immediately plummeted, and even her slashing Sword Qi seemed frozen in midair, easily dodged by the Frost Demon Emperor.

BANG—

In that instant, the Frost Demon Emperor struck Yan Zhen squarely in the chest, sending her flying, her entire body instantly encased in a thick layer of Profound Ice, frozen so she couldn't move at all.

The next instant, the Frost Demon Emperor revealed her true form and grabbed Yan Zhen, making her escape.

"If you want to save her, bring the Frost Staff! If I don't see the Frost Staff in three days, that's the day she dies!"

The Frost Demon Emperor's words hovered in the air as she vanished at the horizon in a flash.

With the departure of the Frost Demon Emperor, countless Frost Race members also withdrew.

Ice and Snow City was reduced to ruins in an instant.

"Now what do we do?"

Gu Shan watched the Frost Demon Emperor disappear, growing anxious.

Are we really going to exchange the Frost Staff?

If the Ice Frost Demon Emperor gets the Scepter, her power will surge and disaster will befall the entire Immortal Realm.

But knowing Lin Chang'sheng, he couldn't possibly stand by while Yan Zhen was killed.

Yet Lin Chang'sheng gave no answer and instead headed for the entrance to the array that had sealed the Frost Race, diving right in.

With the array broken, there was no need to use the Teleportation Array—he could just enter through the breach they'd made.

This tunnel stretched for more than ten miles, spiraling downward. After waiting for half a stick of incense, Lin Chang'sheng finally reached the ground.

This place was now eerily empty.

The Frost Race inside had all fled.

But Lin Chang'sheng was sure they'd have left something behind.

Like the person who'd passed him the message—she must still be here.

Sure enough, with a quick sweep of his Divine Sense, Lin Chang'sheng soon found the woman in a dungeon.

Her wrists and ankles were shackled by the Dragon Soul Double Lock, making escape impossible.

She was emaciated from torture.

"Did you find the Frost Staff?"

Luna saw Lin Chang'sheng return and asked urgently.

"I did."

Lin Chang'sheng nodded. "You're the one who told me where to find the Frost Staff?"

"That's right. Xiaoshuang has already had her mind consumed by desire. This treasure must never end up in her hands!"

Luna answered weakly. Hearing Lin Chang'sheng had obtained the Frost Staff, she finally relaxed.

"Don't move. I'll try to unlock these shackles."

Lin Chang'sheng stepped up to check the Dragon Soul Double Lock and found it exceedingly sturdy—it wouldn't be easy to undo.

In the end, he could only try to destroy them by force.

Lin Chang'sheng summoned the Dragon Abyss Sword and slashed at the shackles, but not only did he fail to break them, he nearly made Luna faint with pain.

"It—it's useless. The shackles have penetrated deep into my bones, merged with my Divine Soul. Unless my Divine Soul is freed, I'll never escape."

Luna had lost all hope—if they could be broken so easily, she'd never have been imprisoned for so many years.

"If you form a contract with me, could your Divine Soul be freed?"

Lin Chang'sheng suggested.

At these words, a spark of hope reignited in Luna's eyes.

Maybe this method would actually work...

"It's worth a try!"

Luna replied.

If she could live, that would be best.

Luna's strength, though not as great as the Frost Demon Emperor, was peak Late Stage Tribulation Crossing—just a step away from becoming an Immortal.

If Lin Chang'sheng could subdue her as a Contracted Beast, he'd have another formidable ally.
