Wutan and the other man looked in the direction of the sound, and their hair stood on end, their eyes filled with disbelief.
But the mysterious man who claimed to be the Ice Demon Lord was standing proudly above the Demon Sealing Pond, wearing a cold black robe. However, the black robe was not an ordinary robe, but was condensed from the black water in the pond!
The black water could even melt forbidden talismans and ferocious beasts in the divine transformation period, and now he was wearing it as a robe. How could such a horrifying thing not shock the two of them.
"Only a few million years have passed, and the Samsara Continent has fallen into such a state. It is truly sad!" The Ice Demon Lord looked up at the sky, his eyes like two black moons, captivating and soul-stirring, and muttered to himself.
"Only a few million years?"
Wu Tian and Guiguzi looked at each other, and were immediately filled with shock in their hearts. This man was actually a living fossil.
For ordinary people, a million years is something they dare not even think about. It is already an endless period of time, and this person has been sealed for millions of years.
However, millions of years are just "only" in this person's mouth. How long has he lived to be able to say such a thing
However, what puzzled Wutan was that he searched all his memories but could not find any information about this person, and he also did not find any information about this person on the animal skin scroll.
“Swish!”
The Ice Demon Lord turned his gaze and looked over. Wutan suddenly felt creepy. What kind of eyes were those? They made people feel as if their body and mind were being melted!
Following closely was a tremendous pressure. Wu Tian simply ignored it, as if nothing had happened. But it was different for Guiguzi. His face turned red, his teeth were clenched, and his legs were shaking. But in the end, he could not bear it anymore. He bent his knees and knelt on the ground with a plop. He avoided the gaze and never dared to look directly at him again.
Staring at Wu Tian intently, a hint of surprise appeared in the eyes of the Ice Demon Lord, and he said in amazement: "You actually opened the earth vein and the sky vein."
After finding out that this so-called Ice Demon Lord didn't seem to have any ill will towards him, Wu Tian's nervous heart finally relaxed a lot, and he hurriedly bowed and said, "Junior Wu Tian, greetings to the senior!"
"Don't be so polite. In fact, I should be thanking you." The Ice Demon Lord smiled kindly.
"Thank me?" Wu Tian was stunned and asked doubtfully: "Does the senior know the junior?"
The Ice Demon Lord shook his head and said, "No, this is just the first time we've met. What I'm saying is thank you for helping me open the seal so I could escape."
The more Wu Tian listened, the more confused he became.
The Ice Demon Lord explained: "Millions of years ago, I fought a great battle with my enemy in outer space, but was defeated and sealed here. To break this seal, the blood of those who defy the heavens must be used."
"My blood?" Wutan frowned.
Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his mind, and Wutan reached out to touch the wound on his face. Only then did he realize that when Guiguzi had attacked him, a piece of dagger had scratched his face, and a few drops of blood had splashed into the Demon Sealing Pond.
After realizing this, Wutan became uneasy. He didn't expect that an unintentional mistake would release a living fossil that had lived for millions of years. He didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
“Don't worry, even though my hands are stained with blood, I am also a member of the Samsara Continent. I will not do anything out of line to this ancestral land that gave birth to me and raised me. Besides, my enemies are not here.” After saying that, the Ice Demon Lord suddenly looked up at the sky, with black light bursting out of his eyes, as if he could see through the sky and see another vast world.
"So you guys are already fighting. It seems that it's not too late for me to escape." The Ice Demon Lord murmured, retracted his gaze, and looked at Wu Tian: "I don't like to owe favors to others. If you help me escape today, I will give you a life-saving amulet."
As he spoke, the Ice Demon Lord waved his hand, and a figure exactly like him suddenly appeared in the air, but his aura was slightly inferior to his original body.
"This is one of my clones. It has half my strength. In today's Samsara Continent, no one should be able to defeat it. However, it can only fight for you once, and then it will dissipate."
The Ice Demon Lord nodded to his clone, who understood and turned into a stream of light, rushing directly into Wujitian's sea of qi and sitting cross-legged next to his soul.
"Thank you, senior!" Wutan bowed to express his gratitude.
“No need. This is what you deserve. Your name is Wutan, right? I will remember you.” The Ice Demon Lord smiled and waved his hand. The void shook and twisted. A portal appeared in a flash of light.
“Wujit, you must practice hard. Perhaps one day, we will join forces to fight. No, not perhaps, it is destined that you will participate in this battle sooner or later.” After saying this meaningfully, the Ice Demon Lord stepped into the portal and instantly disappeared from Wujit’s sight.
"These words sound so familiar." Wutan looked at the gradually disappearing portal, his brows tightly knitted together, and he quickly flipped through the memories deep in his mind.
Finally, he remembered, and with a flicker in his eyes, he took a step forward, wanting to catch up and ask for clarification, but before he could get close, the portal in the air was completely closed.
Standing in mid-air, Wutan stared at the still shaking void, his heart full of doubts, because what the Ice Demon Lord said was almost exactly the same as what the four fire dragons had said to him before.
Therefore, Wutan suspected that the other side of the portal was most likely the eighth level of the Jueyin ruins, the cemetery of gods and demons!
But what puzzled him was, did the Ice Demon Lord and the Fire Dragon know each other? And who were they fighting against? Was it really a false god? But why did they involve him and say it was destined
Guiguzi on the ground was also full of doubts. The Ice Demon Lord made it clear that he was going to fight somewhere, and from his tone, it could be heard that this would be a very difficult and long battle.
He was well aware of the Ice Demon Lord's strength. A single breath of his energy had left him powerless to resist. How terrifying was the one he was fighting against? !
Also, why do people say that Wutan will definitely be involved? Is his identity really that of great importance
"If one day in the future, I really go to fight with you, then I will make sure to make clear the doubts in my heart." Wutan muttered, and then his figure flashed, holding his breath, and landed on the edge of the Demon Sealing Pond.
When the Ice Demon Lord left, he did not take the black water with him. In his eyes, this pool of black water with extremely corrosive power may not be worth mentioning, but for Wutan, if used properly, it would definitely be a powerful weapon.
Therefore, Wutan planned to take the black water away, but what troubled him was what kind of treasure could be used to contain it without it melting
"Forget it, let's put it in the Star Realm first!" After thinking for a while, Wutan really couldn't think of any other way except the Star Realm.
The third eye opened and took in all the black water in the Demon Sealing Pond. Then he was about to leave. Just then, a ray of light flashed at the bottom of the Demon Sealing Pond. Wutan frowned and looked at it in surprise.
"Stone?"
With a face full of confusion, Wutan leaped and landed at the bottom of the Demon Sealing Pond. He grabbed a pitch-black stone in his hand. The stone was only the size of a fist, pitch-black in color, with rounded corners, and no dazzling light. It looked like an ordinary stone.
"Hey! Something's wrong."
After looking at it carefully for a while, Wutan discovered something unusual. At a corner of the stone, it was not pitch black like other places, but was flashing a faint ochre light.
"Is there something fishy going on?"
A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and with a thought, the power of fire surged, wrapping the dark stone. Not long after, a sound like an eggshell breaking suddenly rang in his ears. Wutan took a closer look, and an expression of surprise and joy suddenly appeared on his face.
However, the dark surface of the stone in his hand suddenly cracked inch by inch, like a spider web, and at the same time, rays of ochre light burst out from the cracks!
"This... is actually the spirit of earth!"
Wutan couldn't help but exclaim. After the dark surface was completely peeled off, a fist-sized, khaki crystal immediately appeared before his eyes, shining with brilliant light, which was extremely dazzling!
Gu Guizi was startled, and in a flash, he landed beside Wu Tian in an instant. He looked in the direction he was looking, and immediately exclaimed in shock: "It's really the spirit of earth!"
That’s right, this crystal covered with dirt is the elusive essence of earth!
Wu Tian's eyes lit up, and he also felt like he was dreaming, it was so unreal. Ever since he got the essence of fire, wood, and water, he had never imagined that he could get the essence of other elements. But he never expected that an unintentional action would lead him to find the essence of earth!
"This is luck!" Wutan couldn't help but sigh. If he hadn't suddenly come up with the idea to take away the black water from the Demon Sealing Pond, he would probably never know that there was such a treasure hidden in it!
"Why does he always get to encounter good things?" Guiguzi kept grumbling in his heart, feeling very disappointed. Looking at the Earth Spirit's eyes, they were also glowing green, and he was full of desire. However, he knew very well that Wuji would not give such a rare treasure of heaven and earth to anyone.
"Protect me." Wutan gave the order, sat down on the ground, and decisively began to refine the essence of the earth.
He was well aware of the importance of this treasure. If he didn't refine it in time, it would definitely bring about a catastrophic disaster.
Upon hearing this, Guiguzi sighed, stood obediently aside, and paid attention to every move around him.
The reason why there are no ferocious beasts around the Demon Sealing Pond is entirely because of the black water. Now that the black water has been completely collected by Wutan into the Starry Realm, it has lost its threat. The ferocious beasts around it will sense it and will definitely come to investigate.
So, this is now an extremely dangerous place.
Sure enough, not long after Wutan closed his eyes, rustling sounds suddenly came from all around the Demon Sealing Pond, as if many ferocious beasts were slowly approaching here.
There are even a few powerful auras approaching here at a rapid speed. Without looking, you can know that the owners of these auras are definitely ferocious beasts in the Divine Transformation Stage!
Hearing these sounds and sensing several powerful auras, a different look suddenly flashed across Guiguzi's eyes. He then glanced at Wutan who had his eyes closed inconspicuously, and his heart began to become active.
