Chapter 18

Guo Shier and the other two put away their altars without hesitation and flew up to Li Ran's altar. They sat cross-legged and Guo Shier asked, "Brother Li Ran, what do you plan to do?"

Li Ran smiled and said, "Since this group of Snow Carving has provoked us, then let's leave them here forever." His altar suddenly enlarged, like a giant tower standing in the air. He said calmly, "Heaven's Burial!"

Guo Shier suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness. He muttered, "Heaven's Burial? What's that? "

He saw that every layer of the altar emitted a wave that quickly spread outwards. Any Snow Carving that was swept by the wave turned into a mist of blood without exception. Nine waves in a row, like the shock wave of a bomb exploding, everything was torn to pieces. Guo Shier's eyes almost popped out. The power of Heaven's Burial was definitely not inferior to Qi Wuzhen's Red Pagoda.

The professionals in the distance fled for their lives. When Li Ran released the altar, they already knew that the situation was not good. The sense of danger was simply frightening. One by one, they teleported away without hesitation. No one dared to stay, unless they were entangled by the Snow Carving.

Those people were very unlucky. Like the Snow Carving, they turned into a mist of blood. Even the altar was shattered, leaving almost no trace.

Li Ran casually waved his hand, and countless Soul Beads fell into the altar. Just one move of Heaven's Burial had killed the entire flock of eagles. The mutated Great Snow Dragon on the ground was also dying. It was strong enough to withstand the nine waves, but it was also in a state of near death.

At least a dozen professionals had fallen under the nine waves. Guo Shier finally understood why Li Ran asked them to sit on the altar. Otherwise, they might really be accidentally injured.

Li Ran extended his hand and grabbed at the air, directly grabbing out the soul from the body of the Snow Dragon that was on the verge of death. He said, "This Snow Dragon, you guys divide it. Its skin is not bad, it has a natural cold qi."

Guo Shier happily said, "Let's go, let's divide the Great Snow Dragon." The three flew down the altar and landed on the back of the Great Snow Dragon.

It was only now that the fleeing professionals finally reacted. They were extremely angry, but when they saw the tower-like altar, they were all shocked to the extreme. This was a legendary master that surpassed the ninth layer of the altar. With a wave of his hand, he could kill hundreds and thousands of professionals. No one dared to go up and argue with him.

These professionals lingered around the periphery for a while before leaving unwillingly. Soon, the news spread that there was a super expert in the Great Abyss, causing all the professionals to be on their guard. What was scary was not the mutated beasts, but the professionals. Everyone understood this.

Guo Shier no longer paid attention to the periphery. His attention was completely attracted by the dead Great Snow Dragon. This big guy was similar to the mutated Earth Dragon he had seen before, but its body was longer. It seemed like it would probably level up after a while.

From head to tail, it was more than 1,800 meters long. Its whole body was covered in white scales that flickered with natural runic light. Its originally scarlet eyes were already dim, and its huge head hung down powerlessly.

The snow on the ground was already stained with blood. The whole foot of the mountain had become a slaughterhouse. As the cold wind blew, countless eagle feathers danced in the air. This was a battle of genocide. Li Ran had only used one move, Heaven's Burial, to destroy a large group of Snow Carving. The power of this move was unimaginable. According to Guo Shier's understanding, this move was comparable to Qi Wuzhen's Red Pagoda.

Recalling the scene of that attack, Guo Shier still had lingering fear. He did not know why the shockwave was so powerful. As long as the Snow Carving came into contact with it, no matter if it was a Level-8 mutated Snow Carving or a Level-15 mutated Snow Carving, they were all turned into blood mist without any exception.

Only the mutated Great Snow Dragon was strong. Although it had blocked nine of the shockwaves, it had lost half its life. Li Ran had easily taken away its spirit. The more Guo Shier thought about it, the more shocked he became. If he had encountered such a terrifying attack, it would have been difficult for him to even escape.

Yang Miluo laughed. "Shier, don't be in a daze. How are you going to divide this Great Snow Dragon?"

Guo Shier said, "I don't have enough space to store such a Great Snow Dragon. I need to divide it outside."

Fan Zhentong said, "Let me do it."

Guo Shier said, "Okay, I want that tail, the tail of the Great Snow Dragon … It should be enough to make a whip. In addition, give me some blood and the skin of the Great Snow Dragon. I don't want anything else."

The three of them quickly discussed how to divide the Great Snow Dragon. Only then did Fan Zhentong begin to divide the Great Snow Dragon.

Guo Shier looked at the feathers on the ground and said, "Brother Li Ran, it's a pity that so many Snow Carving have turned into blood mist. Nothing is left."

Li Ran laughed. "I've collected the spirit. It's not a pity. If I didn't use Heaven's Burial, I wouldn't have been able to keep them."

He raised his hand and threw out a bag containing talismans, saying, "The three of you can divide it among yourselves. Hehe, the offerings are never enough. This harvest should be enough to satisfy us."

Guo Shier checked it and said in surprise, "Wow, three thousand Beads of Spirit!" That was a big sum.

Li Ran smiled and said, "It's rare to see such a big group gathered together. Haha, we're lucky."

Guo Shier took out two thousand beads and said, "One thousand Snow Carving's spirit each."

Yang Miluo took it and gave one thousand to Fan Zhentong. The two bowed to express their gratitude. Li Ran waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me. I've already collected most of the Beads of Spirit."

With Fan Zhentong's speed, it only took half an hour for the huge mutated Great Snow Dragon to disappear. The three of them were satisfied with their share.

Li Ran said, "Let's go quickly. We've been delayed for too long."

The three of them got up and continued to move toward the fluctuation.

Along the way, they saw more and more professionals. They also saw groups of professionals hunting mutated beasts. Sometimes, they saw professionals fighting each other. Li Ran and the others ignored them and flew quickly. After flying for half a day, the sky darkened.

Li Ran said, "Let's find a place to rest. It's not easy to fly here at night."

Guo Shier looked around and said, "Let's go over there … There's a big crack in the rock."

The four of them quickly landed. The crack was very big. As soon as they landed, a mutated rune beast jumped out of the crack. There were many mutated beasts here and they were scattered in almost every hidden corner.

This was a mutated pangolin. It was only level six. No one knew how it got here. Yang Miluo killed it with one slash. He used the rune chains to throw the pangolin far away. They didn't need it anymore.

The four of them flew into the crack and found that it was very big and dry inside. There was only a faint stench, which was eliminated by the wind created by Yang Miluo's spell.

Guo Shier released the Invisible Rune House. The sky was already dark. He activated the light of the Invisible Rune House. At this time, a thunderous sound came from outside the crack. Guo Shier said, "It's going to rain again?"

Li Ran said, "It's not strange. There are many changes in the climate here. Most of the mountains are like this."

The sound of rustling could be heard. The crack was upward, so the falling ice beads hit the ground. Guo Shier raised his head and said, "It's not rain, it's snow beads. Hehe, maybe there will be a heavy snow. Let's go back to the Rune House."

The four of them found an empty room. Guo Shier went back to the room and released the altar. He said, "A Handsome Old Man, how's the harvest?"

A Handsome Old Man revealed half of his body and said happily, "It's really different to follow a great master. The harvest is abundant. This place is indeed a treasure land. You have to think of a way to advance to the seven-tiered altar as soon as possible. We can find a small secret realm to seal in the altar. The space to hide the talismans is too troublesome. It's always not enough …"

His complaints and nagging made Guo Shier's head hurt. He said, "Old man, old man, don't complain. A full space to hide the talismans is better than an empty one. If it's really not enough, why don't you make another one?"

A Handsome Old Man couldn't help but scold, "Bastard brat, you're really using this old man as a laborer … A space to hide the talismans doesn't matter how many materials it takes, but it takes time. This old man can't do anything else but make another space to hide the talismans?"

Guo Shier said, "Hehe, old man, other things can be put aside. The things that are stored in the altar are yours. There's plenty of time in the future. There's only one place on this continent. If we leave, we won't be able to get so many things."

Although A Handsome Old Man was scolding, he still thought that what Guo Shier said was right. If the ground was really full of materials and he couldn't take them away, he reckoned that he wouldn't be able to take it. He sighed and said, "Alright, I'll make another space to hide the talismans. If you didn't have Gumelion, your altar wouldn't be able to contain so many spaces to hide the talismans. Sigh, my poor life!"

Guo Shier hurriedly comforted him. He said, "Old man, think about it. Even the space to hide the talismans is full. You can have anything you want. Isn't that great?"

A Handsome Old Man was tricked by him. He nodded and admitted, "That's true. When I was alive, I didn't have so many materials. Comparing yourself to others … it's really infuriating … Sigh, that's not right. These things are all yours. It's none of my business!"

Guo Shier smiled and said, "What's mine is yours."

A Handsome Old Man said, "That's not right. What's mine is yours. What's yours is still yours …"

Guo Shier snorted. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "We are one. If there's me, there's you. If there's no me … you don't exist."

A Handsome Old Man said dispiritedly, "My life is heavy, tedious, no freedom, no welfare … I'm just a bitter old man, a pitiful Guardian Spirit …"

Guo Shier was suddenly speechless. After a long while, he said, "Old man, thank you." He couldn't argue. It could be said that A Handsome Old Man took care of his altar very well. He didn't need to worry at all.

A Handsome Old Man couldn't bear to hear Guo Shier thank him. He said, "Forget it. What are you thanking me for? I can only follow you for the rest of my life anyway." He just wanted to vent his emotions. Staying in the altar for a long time, other than dealing with all kinds of materials, he didn't have any entertainment. Fortunately, he was a soul. Otherwise, it would be really hard to endure.

He told him about the newly collected materials. Many of them were extremely precious. The Soul Rattan Wood was placed in a large Plant Concealment Charm. According to A Handsome Old Man, he had to find a small secret realm as soon as possible. This kind of mutated Soul Rattan Wood could only maintain its life in the Plant Concealment Charm, but it couldn't continue to grow.

The collected bodies of the mutated beasts and mutated beasts had basically been dealt with. The waste had been decomposed by Cabana's sacrificial treasure, so there was a lot of space to store the Concealment Charm.

After dealing with the materials, Guo Shier began to chant. He chanted the two scriptures back and forth. His soul continued to grow.

The Soul Scripture that Li Ran brought was different from his. It was a different method of soul growth. With the two combined, his soul was growing very quickly. Especially his Soul Force, which was rapidly growing.

Not only did Guo Shier benefit, but A Handsome Old Man's power also increased. Every time this happened, A Handsome Old Man would be the most obedient. If it weren't for Guo Shier's abnormal Soul Scripture, he wouldn't have helped him with all his efforts. Guo Shier's growth was his own growth.

No one came this time, because neither Yang Miluo nor Fan Zhentong knew that Guo Shier had this kind of soul refining ability. They were all cultivating in their own rooms. Li Ran had gotten Guo Shier's Soul Scripture, so he was also cultivating in his own room. Every time he cultivated, it gave him endless confidence. He believed that as long as he could get out of this time, he would be able to dominate the host soul.

In the early morning, Guo Shier finally finished chanting. Because he had two scriptures, his chanting time had also doubled. After a whole night of chanting, he had digested a soul bead, and had succeeded in making his soul grow a little bit. Although a little bit was not a big amount, it could be accumulated over a long period of time.

A Handsome Old Man suddenly stretched out half of his body in surprise. He said, "Boy, you're good!"

Guo Shier asked, "What's wrong?"
