Lei Xingfeng panted and said, "Uncle Gao, we still have to kill our way back!"
Gao Ye said, "Just take Jing Ziya back. As for those steel dolls, they should be pretty much dead by now."
Lei Xingfeng thought about it and agreed. There was almost no benefit to fighting with the ice dolls. Through the Mirror Realm, as long as there were people on his side, Lei Xingfeng could control them. Therefore, he took Jing Ziya into the Mirror Realm. As for the steel dolls and metal spiders, there were not many left. He gave them up without hesitation and left them to attract the ice dolls.
Gao Ye and Lei Xingfeng immediately ran along the ice canyon, shaking off the ice dolls. The road ahead was smooth.
They couldn't fly here, so Gao Ye said, "Don't look at the sides. There are definitely restrictions there. We can only go forward. This is the scary part of the forbidden area. It's hard to go back. Fortunately, you have the Mirror Realm. Once you enter a desperate situation, you can easily retreat."
Lei Xingfeng laughed, "Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to run around like this."
The ice canyon was very long. Fortunately, there were no more ice dolls. The two ran for about 20 minutes and reached the other end of the canyon. They turned a corner and reached the bottom of the canyon.
Lei Xingfeng stopped and stared blankly ahead. Gao Ye also had a shocked expression.
The palace of ice.
The palace was completely made of ice. It was over a hundred meters tall and was stacked on top of each other. There was a faint layer of fog that made the entire ice palace appear and disappear. The whistling sound of the wind drifted around the ice palace, making waves of whimpering sounds. It gave people a feeling of extreme desolation.
After a while, Lei Xingfeng said, "There's no trace of a human's aura … It's like an ice tombstone."
Gao Ye's face was full of shock and ecstasy. He muttered to himself, "I thought we were in the periphery. We're actually in the core area of the forbidden area?"
The two of them were about seven hundred meters away from the Ice Palace. In front of the Ice Palace was a blue ice surface with wisps of mist rising from it. From time to time, a gust of wind would blow past and instantly sweep away the rising ice mist.
Lei Xingfeng pointed at the flat and wide ice surface and said, "This … could it be a trap?"
Gao Ye shook his head. "I don't know, but you should have a way to probe."
Lei Xingfeng nodded. He raised his hand and released two Steel Puppet Beasts. "Let's step back and see what we will encounter."
Gao Ye and Lei Xingfeng quickly retreated to the bend in the canyon. Only then did Lei Xingfeng command the Steel Doll Beast to move forward.
The two Steel Mannequins stepped forward, their heavy metal feet stepping on the ice, producing dull sounds. Lei Xingfeng and Gao Ye hid in a corner, watching the Steel Mannequins go deeper and deeper.
Lei Xingfeng said, "Uncle Gao, what do you think will happen?"
Gao Ye shook his head. "I really can't guess. The forbidden area is dangerous. There are all kinds of strange things. It's simply unimaginable."
When the two Steel Mannequins had walked a third of the distance, the whistling of the wind suddenly became louder. That sharp whistling sound forced Lei Xingfeng to use the Thousand Leaf Silver to protect his ears. The extremely heavy Steel Mannequins trembled in the wind. It could be seen that the Steel Mannequins' pace had clearly slowed down.
Lei Xingfeng thought for a while. "What a strong wind! If it were me … I wouldn't be able to stand! "
Gao Ye said, "You can resist it, but it will be very difficult. Look at the Steel Mannequins … look at their bodies."
A layer of ice crystals condensed on the Steel Mannequins' bodies. The condensed ice was quickly blown away. Then, it froze again and was blown away again. The Steel Mannequins' originally dark bodies had a layer of metal polished off. As they moved forward with difficulty, they actually started to shine.
Lei Xingfeng was dumbfounded. He never knew that the wind could be as sharp as a knife. It could forcibly cut off a layer of metal.
Gao Ye laughed bitterly and said, "What a perverted wind! I don't even know if I can withstand it … "
Lei Xingfeng said, "We should be able to withstand it. If it's just the wind, we can withstand it. But I think … it's not just the wind."
Ding! Ding …
Concentrated clinking sounds rang out.
Gao Ye said, "You were right. It's not just the wind. There are also ice crystals in the wind."
The finger-sized ice crystals came with the wind. For some unknown reason, the ice crystals in the wind actually shot towards the Steel Mannequins. At a distance of more than ten meters, the two Steel Mannequins' bodies seemed to be inlaid with countless diamonds. Under the reflection of the ice, specks of light shone. Lei Xingfeng and Gao Ye couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. It could actually shoot directly into steel. This strength was too terrifying.
Lei Xingfeng thought of the Magnetic Storm Mountain Range. The perverted lightning and thunder were simply terrifying to the extreme.
Gao Ye said, "It's fine. This is actually easier to withstand. The more difficult thing to withstand is the extreme cold brought by the wind. It's still fine for me, but it's hard for you to withstand it."
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, "Yeah, it's hard for me to withstand the extreme cold brought by the wind."
Gao Ye said, "I think … as long as any one of us goes over, it means that the others can go over as well."
Lei Xingfeng thought for a moment and immediately understood Gao Ye's meaning. He said, "Use the Mirror World."
Gao Ye laughed and said, "That's right. Use the Mirror World. No matter if it's you or me, we can use the Mirror World to cross over."
The two Steel Mannequins were still struggling to walk forward. The originally sturdy and heavy Steel Mannequins had become much thinner. One of them couldn't move its arms at all, and its body was abnormally stiff. It walked very mechanically, but its speed was already extremely slow. It took a while before it could take a step. The other one was slightly better, but that was only because its companion was blocking it.
With great difficulty, the two Steel Mannequins finally reached the center, and a shocking scene appeared.
A palm-sized ice blade appeared along with the wind and quickly merged into a gust of wind, fiercely slashing towards the two Steel Mannequins. In the extreme cold, anything would become hard, but at the same time, it would become brittle. When these ice blades whistled along with the wind and gathered to slash at the two Steel Mannequins, the moment the dense sound of impact could be heard, Lei Xingfeng bitterly smiled and said, "It's over!"
Gao Ye said, "Yeah, we can't block it anymore."
Boom! Boom!
Two crisp sounds rang out, and the Steel Mannequins were instantly shattered.
In less than ten seconds, the steel fragments that fell on the ice were swept away by the wind. The entire ice surface was immediately clean, and no traces could be seen at all.
The strangest thing was that the gust of wind suddenly stopped, and the entire ice surface calmed down.
Lei Xingfeng said after a while, "Damn it, fierce!"
Gao Ye said, "With the strength of a True Monarch, it might not be possible, but I believe that with the strength of a Heavenly Monarch, it's definitely possible. I'll try, you wait."
Lei Xingfeng said, "Let's try again. I'll use a Silver Mannequin to try."
Gao Ye said, "It's no use. The attacks from behind will only get stronger, and the Mannequins won't have the ability to adapt."
Lei Xingfeng thought for a moment, then took out a huge steel shield and said, "Use this. If something goes wrong, immediately return to the Mirror World. We don't have to risk our lives."
Gao Ye took the shield. This shield was the Steel Mannequin's weapon. It was as thick as two fingers and could completely cover Gao Ye, blocking the ice crystals and ice blades that appeared just now. As for what they would encounter later, they could only adapt according to the situation.
Lei Xingfeng said, "Be careful." The reason why he didn't insist on going himself was because he didn't have the confidence to resist the cold. Gao Ye was an Ice Elemental, and had a natural immunity to the cold. He shouldn't be frozen stiff.
Gao Ye held the shield and walked over step by step.
Miraculously, when Gao Ye had walked a third of the way, the wind began to blow violently, producing whistling sounds. Gao Ye's entire body was enveloped in a white brilliance, and a layer of ice had formed on the shield in his hand. He walked rather easily, much more easily than the Steel Mannequin.
Soon, Gao Ye began to taste the ice crystals. Following the violent wind, the ice crystals were like bullets, madly shooting at him. Ding ding ding sounds could be heard incessantly.
Lei Xingfeng watched nervously. He saw that the huge shield seemed to be embedded with a layer of diamond crystals. Gao Ye suddenly shook his arm, and the layer of ice on the surface and the ice crystals that were shot at him shattered and fell. Immediately after, another layer of ice appeared. This wasn't ice brought about by the environment, but ice that Gao Ye had specially condensed on the surface of the shield to strengthen the shield's defense.
Gao Ye continued to walk forward with ease. From this point, it could be seen that Gao Ye's strength was rather strong.
The wind and ice blades converged into a stream and crashed over with a loud bang.
The layer of ice on the shield was instantly swept away, but Gao Ye didn't care. He continued to walk forward quickly. That enormous cold was simply unable to shake his footsteps.
He watched as the shield became brighter and brighter. When the ice blades hit the shield, the entire shield was already dented and uneven.
Gao Ye raised his hand and threw out the smashed shield. In an instant, the stream of ice blades converged on his defense. With a low roar, Gao Ye's body emitted a dazzling white light. When the stream of ice blades hit his defense, they actually disappeared without a sound.
The most peculiar thing was that when the stream of ice blades disappeared into the white light, the violent wind suddenly stopped. It was as if Gao Ye didn't exist at all.
Lei Xingfeng watched as Gao Ye walked step by step across the plaza. Suddenly, Lei Xingfeng understood in his heart. This was because he recalled his experience in the Magnetic Storm Mountain Range. Thunder-attribute cultivators were like fish in water in the Magnetic Storm Mountain Range. In that case, Gao Ye, an ice-attribute cultivator, also had a great advantage here. Would he be recognized as one of their own?
When Gao Ye reached the entrance of the Ice Palace, that strange violent wind didn't appear again. Furthermore, there were no other attacks. Lei Xingfeng immediately confirmed that Gao Ye was considered one of their own by the forbidden land.
One of the Ice Palace's doors had already collapsed. Gao Ye turned his head and made a hand gesture, indicating for Lei Xingfeng to wait for a moment. He directly stepped into the Ice Palace.
After a moment, Gao Ye had already reached Lei Xingfeng's side through the Realm of Mirrors. He said, "Alright, if you go through the Realm of Mirrors, I reckon that you won't be able to pass through this plaza. Other than the people of the forbidden land, I reckon that it will be very difficult for anyone to pass through this plaza. Unless you're strong enough to withstand the attacks of the entire restriction."
Lei Xingfeng stood at the entrance and waited. After a moment, he heard Gao Ye's voice. "Come in. There's nothing here."
After stepping through the collapsed Ice Palace's doors, Lei Xingfeng raised his head and looked up. The roof of the Ice Palace had long since shattered. From the ground, he could see through the collapsed roof and see the towering ice cliff. Lei Xingfeng said, "The house of ice …"
