Vasily and the others said nothing further. They all remained on the ground and stared at the few gigantic ice coffins before their eyes. “Quick, look, Jared! Is that blood in the ice coffin?”
Just then, Viola seemingly noticed something. in one of the ice coffins. Jared quickly went over. Sure enough, he discovered strands of blood in the ice coffin. They were so minute that one would never notice them unless one looked closely enough.
Right then, they appeared to be wiggling as though alive. Seeing that, he swiftly placed a hand on the ice coffin lightly. In an instant, a burst of frost energy shot into his body, and he shuddered.
His entire arm started to frost over. It was as though it would soon be attached to the ice coffin. “This is millennium ice, Mr. Chance. You can’t touch it for long, or you’ll get frozen!”
The instant Vasily saw that, he hurriedly made to rush forward and yank the man away.
“Don’t touch me.” After stopping him from doing so, Jared began gathering a ball of demonic fire at his palm. Gradually, his initially frozen palm melted.
He performed the Focus Technique, upon which an intense suction force emanated from his palm. The blood strands in the ice coffin started seeping out. They broke through the ice coffin and hovered in mid-air. He wanted to grasp them, but it was impossible to do so.
Striking while the iron was hot, he sucked out the blood strands from the other ice coffins. Soon, a mass of blood strands condensed together and contorted nonstop to form a ball of blood.
When Jared looked up at the ball of blood, sheer surprise showed on his face. It was for no other reason than the icy aura from it almost freezing everyone there.
“This can’t be the blood of the ice soul beast, can it? It might turn into an ice soul beast, and we’d be in deep trouble then!” Vasily said worriedly.
No sooner had his words rang out than the ball of blood abruptly detonated, forming a mist of blood in a flash. Amidst that, the silhouette of an ice soul beast took shape.
“It’s an ice soul beast! It’s really an ice soul beast!”
At the sight of the ice soul beast, Vasily promptly paled in fright. The others were also apprehensive to the core. Viola, on the other hand, hid behind Jared.
“Calm down. This is just a phantom image and has little capabilities. We’re totally capable of dealing with it,” Jared comforted Viola. But in truth, he was also directing those words to Vasily, Cloud, and the others.
“You’re truly a jinx, Vasily! Speak of the devil!” Viola grumbled. Embarrassment was written all over Vasily’s face. He was merely making a casual comment, but it unexpectedly turned out to be an ice soul beast’s blood for real and even morphed into an ice soul beast’s phantom image.
Although it was merely a phantom image, they sensed the danger and all backed away. Lifting its head proudly, the phantom image of the ice soul beast swept its sharp and domineering gaze over them.
At that moment, the rest of the people were at the top of the palace, cultivating with their eyes closed as they absorbed the energy within the ice crystals. No one noticed the presence of the ice soul beast below them. Only the two Demonic Cultivators had been keeping an eye on the movements on the ground.
The ice soul beast lightly slapped its gigantic claw on the ground. In the blink of an eye, infinite frost energy pervaded the air and rushed toward Jared and the others like a tidal wave, sweeping over them in all directions.
The expanse of icy mist froze the air all around. Jared and the others shivered violently even as frost blanketed their bodies.
Cloud casually whipped out a formation plate and tossed it to their front. Immediately, a transparent shield materialized and blocked off the bursts of frost energy. Regretfully, the shield only lasted for a few seconds before it shattered.
Cloud threw out another formation plate to act as a shield. Even if it only lasted for a second, it was sufficient for him. It was evident that the rich heir was nonchalant about frittering money.
