Chapter 786 - 516: Yan Zhen’s Disappearance, Demon Beast Uprising (Part 2)

"Peeking at beauties through the mist?"

Lin Chang'sheng thought to himself, feeling a bit at a loss. Even though the Frost Demon Emperor was female, he couldn't find much interest in her.

Just knowing she was a Demon Beast, he couldn't appreciate it at all.

So Lin Chang'sheng had no choice but to summon Guo Yunchu.

This girl insisted on tagging along, and sure enough, she turned out to be useful this time.

"Th-this is the forbidden land?"

As soon as Guo Yunchu stepped out, she saw the barren surroundings and the two massive Demon Beasts circling the area. Instantly, she felt timid and asked quietly.

"Relax, I've already tamed them. They won't hurt you."

Lin Chang'sheng replied.

Hearing this, Guo Yunchu was utterly shocked. These two Demon Beasts didn't look simple at all—their strength was unfathomable, probably at least at the Late Stage of Tribulation Crossing or above—and Lin Chang'sheng actually made them his Contracted Beasts?

This guy was seriously that powerful?

"You've already turned them into Contracted Beasts, so why did you bring me out here?"

Guo Yunchu was a bit puzzled.

"This is the forbidden land. Getting out isn't that easy. Naturally, I need your help to break the array!"

Lin Chang'sheng bluffed.

That's one thing Lin Chang'sheng really liked about this girl: she was easy to fool.

"You want me to help break the array? You're putting way too much faith in me!"

Guo Yunchu knew her own limits and immediately refused.

Lin Chang'sheng waved his hand, putting Candle Flame and the Frost Demon Emperor into his Spirit Beast Bag, then moved close and whispered to Guo Yunchu.

"What? This is all it takes to break the array?"

Guo Yunchu couldn't believe it—Lin Chang'sheng actually wanted her to stand in the mist to break the formation.

She was skeptical.

But since Lin Chang'sheng said so, he must be sure of himself.

So Guo Yunchu decided not to refuse.

As Candle Flame was stored in the Spirit Beast Bag, the surrounding mist spread in again.

If you were more than a hundred meters from Guo Yunchu, people's figures would blur.

"This should about do it."

Lin Chang'sheng thought to himself.

Immortal Corpse Soul-devouring Divine Mist Array EXP +1!

Immortal Corpse Soul-devouring Divine Mist Array EXP +1!

...

As expected, in the next moment, the EXP for the Immortal Corpse Soul-devouring Divine Mist Array kept climbing.

[Immortal Corpse Soul-devouring Divine Mist (Perfection)!]

Half a day later, Lin Chang'sheng finally grinded the Immortal Corpse Soul-devouring Divine Mist Array to Perfection.

"Alright!"

Lin Chang'sheng called to Guo Yunchu, and she hurried over.

"Did you figure out how to break the array?"

Guo Yunchu stared and asked.

Lin Chang'sheng simply nodded. "But now isn't the optimal time to break it—we'll have to wait a bit longer!"

With that, Lin Chang'sheng stopped talking, began circulating his Cultivation Technique, and focused on stabilizing his Cultivation at the Early Stage of Tribulation Crossing.

In a flash, three days passed.

Not only did Lin Chang'sheng stabilize his Realm, he improved a bit, and even upgraded the array in his Holy Soul Banner to the Immortal Corpse Soul-devouring Divine Mist Array.

With this array, even slaying Immortal Realm powerhouses was no longer a challenge.

That day, Lin Chang'sheng realized he'd drained all the value out of this place, so he decided to leave.

He walked up to the mountain range where Candle Flame had first been camped out.

Primordial Power gathered on his fist aura, then he struck the mountain range with a massive punch.

BOOOOOOM—

The whole Grand Array shook; countless boulders flew as the mountain range collapsed into rubble.

And once the mountain range fell, a fissure appeared on the ground.

This fissure was the exit from this place.

Candle Flame had always camped out here—turns out, it was parked right at the exit. This made Candle Flame furious.

If he'd smashed the mountain range back then, he could've escaped ages ago.

As Lin Chang'sheng entered the crack, a wave of weightlessness hit, and in the next second Lin Chang'sheng appeared once more inside the mist.

But this mist wasn't from the array—it was the fog at the exit.

"Finally out! Hahaha—"

Candle Flame burst out, shooting into the sky and laughing its head off.

But Lin Chang'sheng didn't have time to laugh along. Now that the Frost Demon Emperor was tamed, he'd basically solved the Ice and Snow City crisis, so he could go find Yan Zhen.

Yan Zhen wouldn't need to keep guarding this place after today.

However, things went completely differently than Lin Chang'sheng expected.

After leaving, he discovered there were now endless swarms of Demon Beasts outside.

These Demon Beasts came in all shapes—some looked like Bigfoot, some like Ice Qing Giant Tigers, some had twin wings and were as gigantic as Thundering Eagles, all covered in ice and snow.

"Where did all these Demon Beasts come from?"

Lin Chang'sheng was shocked.

Screee—

Before Lin Chang'sheng could even turn around, a giant Qingqiong Thunder Eagle swooped in to attack him.

This thunder eagle was lightning fast, its talons razor-sharp—getting hit would definitely mean getting wrecked.

"Courting death!"

With a slap of his palm, his powerful Primordial Power blasted out, instantly killing the Qingqiong Thunder Eagle.

Feathers rained from the sky—the Qingqiong Thunder Eagle was shattered into dust by Lin Chang'sheng's slap.

This Demon Beast may be huge and dangerous, but its strength was only at Mahayana Stage.

For Lin Chang'sheng at Tribulation Crossing, it was nothing.

Worried about Yan Zhen's whereabouts, Lin Chang'sheng rushed to Ice and Snow City.

The place was already deserted—no trace of Human Race activity, just countless Demon Beasts running wild.

And these Demon Beasts weren't all part of the Frost Race.

"What's going on here?"

Lin Chang'sheng asked the Frost Demon Emperor.

The Frost Demon Emperor had some idea, but wasn't fully sure.

"Every three thousand years, a fissure opens underground in Ice and Snow Province. Demon Beasts pour out from below. This time, it seems to have happened even earlier, and looks like these Demon Beasts have already emerged from Ice and Snow Province!"

"If you hadn't been stuck in the forbidden land, maybe you could've stopped this. But now, it's pretty much impossible!"

The Frost Demon Emperor replied.

Wanting to unify the Immortal Realm wasn't just her ambition—a lot of Demon Beasts refused to live trapped here.

They all wanted control of the Immortal Realm.

Some Demon Beasts are just as smart and powerful as the Human Race.

"How do these Demon Beasts compare to your Frost Demon Race?"

Lin Chang'sheng asked.

If it was about the same, then it wouldn't be too big a problem.

"It's worlds apart! Mainly because there are more of them and they're even stronger. My Frost Race, compared to them, isn't worth mentioning! Of course, if I could get the Frost Staff, that would be a different story!"

The Frost Demon Emperor replied.

Lin Chang'sheng was shocked hearing that—he needed to find Yan Zhen, fast.

He then spread his Divine Sense, searching into the distance.

But throughout Ice and Snow Province, aside from waves of Demon Beasts, he couldn't find any sign of Yan Zhen.

While Lin Chang'sheng searched for Yan Zhen—

The news of the Demon Beast rampage in Ice and Snow Province quickly spread to all the Great Immortal Sects across the Immortal Realm.

Every Major Sect sent their experts to suppress the situation.

Immortal Martial Hall dispatched a team led by Luo Juetian and many experts to block the Demon Beast army heading out of Ice and Snow Province.

The Immortal Palace sent top experts led by Immortal Master Zhengyang.

Heaven-Suppressing Sect, Piaomiao Sect, Spirit Mountain and other powers all sent strong cultivators to fight the Demon Beasts.

This time, the Demon Beast rampage was way more intense than any before.

In previous waves, maybe there would only be one or two Immortal Realm Level Demon Beasts.

But this time, there were three Immortal Realm Demon Beasts, eighteen at the Late Stage of Tribulation Crossing, and countless others.

Such a massive Demon Beast army couldn't be ignored by the Cultivation Realm of the Immortal Realm.

The province closest to Ice and Snow Province was Spiritual Spring Province.

On the borders of Spiritual Spring Province, tons of cultivators were already standing guard.

Every cultivator looked deeply on edge.

Most cultivators had never faced such an overwhelming Demon Beast uprising.

They might not even be able to hold the line.

BOOOOOOM—

As waves of Demon Beasts approached, the ground trembled non-stop.

"I heard the team of cultivators sent to Ice and Snow Province to stop the Demon Beast army was wiped out! If we can't hold out, we'll have to retreat!"

"No way! Are these Demon Beasts really that strong?"

"What do you think! Apparently, there's no shortage of Immortal Beast Level monsters in there! If the Sect Leaders from the Great Immortal Sects don't step in, we won't stand a chance!"

"If the Demon Beast rampage is so fierce, what's the point of us trying to stop them? Isn't this suicide?"

"If we don't fight, millions of innocent people behind us will die!"

...

Spiritual Spring Province, on top of the walls at Nanguan City, countless cultivators were gathered, all discussing fiercely.
