"Not good. Cunning old fellow." Fenghao clenched his teeth as he cried out. He waved his hand, causing the lightning dragon to automatically dissipate. Only a lifeless corpse fell from midair.
Feng Hao frowned tightly. He took a couple of steps forward and approached the lifeless corpse. After a brief inspection, he discovered the mystery behind it. It actually did not have a soul.
In other words, the Green Sky Devil God had abandoned his physical body and allowed his soul to escape. Moreover, Lin Dong did not discover anything during this process.
"I was still too careless." A helpless feeling involuntarily rose within Feng Hao's heart. Previously, he thought that the other party was seriously injured and did not have any means to escape. Hence, he was not overly cautious. However, the ruthlessness of the Green Sky Devil God had exceeded his imagination. He was actually willing to abandon his physical body in order to preserve his life.
Abandoning one's physical body to preserve one's soul. This could be said to be another way of living. Back then, Yao Lao had also survived in this manner. However, the price to pay was extremely great. It could basically cripple one's entire body. Ordinary experts would not use such a method unless they had reached such a stage.
Although the Green Sky Devil God was a peak expert, his soul could still swiftly recover his strength through possession or through re-training after abandoning his physical body. However, the price to pay was far too great. If he was not careful, he would only be able to maintain his soul state for the rest of his life.
The more Feng Hao thought about it, the more furious he became. Originally, he was only a step away from killing the Green Sky Devil God and finding the aura of his child. However, he did not expect that he would allow the Green Sky Devil God to escape due to his carelessness.
"Bang."
Feng Hao directly waved his hand and unleashed a frightening energy, causing a huge pit to appear in the icy plains in front of him. Ice and snow fell from the sky. Feng Hao's roar continued to reverberate across this quiet icy plains.
"Azure Sky Demon Sovereign, the next time I see you, I'll make sure you die without a burial ground."
After venting his anger, Feng Hao gradually calmed down. Although he was vexed in his heart, this was the truth and there was no way to change it. Moreover, it was impossible for him to chase after the Green Heaven Devil Exalt's soul. After all, since the other party dared to do so, he was very confident that he would not be able to kill him. It was likely that the Green Heaven Devil Exalt's soul had already left the icy plains.
After inhaling a couple of deep breaths of air, Feng Hao completely calmed down. Since he had failed to kill Qing Tian Devil Zun, it was best to temporarily put this matter aside. After all, Qing Tian Devil Zun had paid a terrible price this time around. His physical body was gone and it would be impossible for him to recover to his peak condition without at least a few decades.
Raising his head to survey his surroundings, all he could see was the white world of ice. He could not tell which direction he was in at all. For a moment, he could not tell which part of the ice field he was in. At the same time, he began to ponder what he should do next.
The words of the Radiant Sun Sovereign flashed in his mind. In the icy plains, as long as he walked in the east direction, he would definitely be able to reach the centre of the icy plains and return to the exit.
Taking a look at the sky, Fenghao identified the eastern direction before making his move. However, he didn't exhaust too much energy to fly. Instead, Sky Punishment Energy continuously revolved around his body to resist the bone-piercing cold of the ice and snow. That's because he remembered what the Radiant Sun Sovereign had said, that the Nine Nether Ice Grass was protected by a terrifying beast that wasn't any weaker than him.
At the centre of the icy plains was a vast icy ocean. Above the icy ocean, there was a strange little island floating. The Nine Nether Ice Grass existed on that little island. In the past, the Radiant Sun Sovereign had seen that little island when he passed by the icy ocean, and discovered the existence of the Nine Nether Ice Grass.
However, just as the Radiant Sun Sovereign was about to retrieve the Nine Nether Ice Grass, a furious roar rang out. The entire icy plains started to tremble as an extremely ferocious aura enveloped it. Due to his fear of the icy plains, the Radiant Sun Sovereign had given up on the idea of retrieving the Nine Nether Ice Grass after much consideration, and left the icy plains.
Snow and ice continued to fall from the sky as Feng Hao's figure gradually disappeared within the whiteness. Only a series of footprints were left on the icy plains. In a short while, the continuously falling snow and ice had completely covered his tracks.
As he ventured deeper, Fenghao sensed the deathly stillness of this icy plain. He had been hurrying on his way for about two days, but it was still nothing but white in front of him. Not to mention humans, there wasn't even a single trace of exotic beasts in this place.
"That's strange. Didn't the Radiant Sun Sovereign mention that there are many beasts in the icy plains? Why can't I see a single one?" Doubts rose in Feng Hao's heart, but he couldn't find any reason for it. Everywhere he passed was still deathly stillness.
What he didn't know was that before he came to the icy plains, the Azure Sky Archdevil Sovereign had already ventured deep into the icy plains and hunted a large number of powerful beasts to devour to recover his injuries. For the Azure Sky Archdevil Sovereign, aside from Saint Realm experts, ordinary cultivators weren't of any use to him. Thus, he could only place his attention on those beasts.
One must know that many of those beasts were existences that could stand shoulder to shoulder with Saint Realm experts. Their flesh and blood were filled with boundless energy, which was still quite useful to the Azure Sky Archdevil Sovereign.
On the fifth day of his lonely journey, Fenghao finally arrived in the vicinity of the icy ocean that the Radiant Sun Sovereign had mentioned.
Although it was no different from the scenery he had seen earlier, it was still a vast expanse of whiteness. However, as he stood on the shore of the icy ocean, through the layer of ice that covered the icy ocean, he could clearly sense that there were many frightening auras swimming continuously beneath the icy ocean.
There were some powerful beasts below. When Feng Hao sensed them, those beasts had also sensed Feng Hao's existence.
Boom!
A loud sound rang out as a part of the icy ocean suddenly exploded. A fish-like beast with black spikes all over its body charged out and roared at Feng Hao, before diving back into the icy ocean.
