Indeed, the Frost Marrow had no intention of taking care of Xiao Lingyu. It only wanted to seize the opportunity to leave the demonic flames behind and refine them. As for whether Xiao Lingyu was alive or dead, it did not care at all.
Over the years, many cultivators had been brought here by the cold fog and flames, but almost none of them had been able to pose the slightest threat to the demonic flames. The Cold Marrow Essence had waited for so many years for this chance, and it absolutely wouldn't let it go to waste.
This was an independent space, and cultivators from both the Immortal and Demon Realms were restricted from entering. It was very difficult for cultivators who had not reached the Mystic Demon Realm to reach this place, and even if they did, it would be difficult for them to pose a threat to the demonic flames. Only a freak like Xiao Lingyu could stabilize the demonic flames without reaching the Mystic Demon Realm.
Gradually, the demonic flames seemed to know that they could not escape today. After resisting for a while, they automatically merged with Xiao Lingyu's Primal Chaos Fire.
Originally, with Xiao Lingyu's current ability, he would not be able to refine such a high-level demonic flame, and his body would not be able to withstand the impact of the demonic flames. However, the demonic flames took the initiative to submit to him, and its power was greatly restricted by the cold air. The Primal Chaos Fire was also a high-level fire seed, so the demonic flames could merge with the Primal Chaos Fire.
After the two high-level flames merged, the quality of the Primal Chaos Fire was greatly improved, and it could easily resist the attack of the cold air. However, the demonic flames actually counterattacked the Primal Chaos Fire and showed signs of directly killing Xiao Lingyu.
Only by killing Xiao Lingyu could the Primal Chaos Fire be in an ownerless state, and the demonic flames would regain their freedom and not be restricted in the slightest.
Although Xiao Lingyu did not want to see this happen, he was powerless to stop it.
However, just like Xiao Lingyu, the Frost Marrow did not want to see this happen either. If the Primal Chaos Fire was completely subdued by the demonic flames and the two perfectly merged, the Frost Marrow would definitely be the next unlucky one.
Therefore, the Frost Marrow flew to Xiao Lingyu's head and gathered boundless cold energy, pouring it into Xiao Lingyu's body.
Xiao Lingyu's body was already in an extremely troublesome situation. Naturally, he did not have the strength nor the will to resist the frost Qi entering his body. He only allowed the Chaos Demonic Nascent Soul to release the Primordial True Fire with all its might.
Fortunately, Xiao Lingyu's body was extremely strong. Otherwise, if it was an ordinary cultivator, their vitality would have withered the moment the strange cold entered their body.
After the cold energy entered her body, it did not destroy Xiao Lingyu's body. Instead, it went straight for the Primordial Fire that had merged with the Demon Flames.
Xiao Lingyu's body was warring with heat and cold. Xiao Lingyu's expression was extremely pained, but he knew that he had to hold on.
The strange cold energy did not have much interest in the Primal Chaos True Fire, but it was extremely disgusted by the Devil Flame, and almost all of its power was used on the Devil Flame.
Although the Devil Flame took the initiative to merge with the Primordial True Fire, without Xiao Lingyu's cooperation, it was impossible for the Devil Flame to merge with the Primordial True Fire. This also allowed the strange cold energy to easily distinguish its target.
Under the suppression of the strange cold energy, the Devil Flame could only deal with it tiredly. Xiao Lingyu made up his mind and allowed the Chaos Demonic Nascent Soul to spew out all of the Primordial True Fire. He also wrapped his own blood essence and soul to refine the Devil Flame.
The Devil Flame could have withdrawn from Xiao Lingyu's body and separated from the Primordial True Fire. However, if it did, it would be directly captured and refined by the Frost Marrow. It could only continue to stay in the Primordial True Fire and continue refining the Primordial True Fire.
Unfortunately, the Devil Flame's refining power on the Primordial True Fire was completely destroyed by the cold energy. Instead, it was the Primordial True Fire that was slowly refining it.
Just like this, a full three days passed. The Primordial True Fire had already refined one-third of the Devil Flame. The remaining two-thirds of the Devil Flame that still had its own consciousness knew that it would be completely refined sooner or later. Therefore, it had no choice but to leave the Primordial True Fire.
Just as Xiao Lingyu expected, the remaining two-thirds of the Devil Flame was wrapped by the cold energy as soon as it left his body. No matter how hard it struggled, it could not break free. In the end, it could only be absorbed by the Frost Marrow.
The Frost Marrow was still of the ice attribute. However, the originally sparkling and translucent Frost Marrow was constantly flashing with bursts of fire. It was very strange.
Whether it was the cold fog formed by the snow and snow lotuses or the flames in the magma, they were all absorbed by the Frost Marrow.
The ice layer and the frozen soil layer had already collapsed. Xiao Lingyu looked around again and could only see a large pit.
Xiao Lingyu did not dare to move. He stared at the Frost Marrow cautiously while feeling the changes in the Primordial True Fire.
The changes in the Primordial True Fire were not very big. At least, it did not look much different from before. However, its power had increased a lot. It was estimated that it was not much weaker than the multicolored firebird activated by the silver moon broken blade.
In this way, Xiao Lingyu would have another life-saving trump card. However, compared to this Frost Essence, this trump card was not even worth mentioning.
The reason why he did not dare to move was that Xiao Lingyu could clearly feel that there was a very strong consciousness locked on to him. Moreover, it revealed a somewhat dangerous aura.
He knew that as long as he moved, the Frost Marrow would definitely attack him.
At this time, the Frost Marrow did not attack. He did not know what it was hesitating about or if it was not in a good state.
Xiao Lingyu guessed that the Frost Quintessence had just absorbed the Devil Flame and was in the process of refining it. Its condition wasn't very good, so it didn't attack him. Once the Frost Quintessence completely refined the Devil Flame, it would most likely attack him.
However, even if he knew this, he did not dare to move. This was because even if he was not in a good state, the Frost Marrow could easily freeze him.
This wait lasted for three months. Xiao Lingyu was like a prisoner waiting to be convicted. His heart was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
After three months, the Frost Marrow finally completely refined the Devil Flame. Then, a strong wave of consciousness enveloped Xiao Lingyu's body, as if it wanted to understand Xiao Lingyu's body in detail.
However, although the Frost Marrow was strong, it was not a human cultivator and had not cultivated systematically. It was very difficult for its consciousness to penetrate Xiao Lingyu's body. It could only determine Xiao Lingyu's true level by looking at the surface of Xiao Lingyu's body and the aura that leaked out.
In the end, the Frost Marrow seemed to have lost its patience. Its powerful consciousness invaded Xiao Lingyu's body and rushed directly into Xiao Lingyu's Knowledge Sea.
The grayish-black metal piece hidden in Xiao Lingyu's Knowledge Sea suddenly shook and absorbed the Frost Marrow's consciousness.
After all, the Frost Marrow was not a living thing in the past. It had only slowly formed its consciousness over the years. Xiao Lingyu guessed that it wanted to possess him. It wanted to directly devour his soul and take over his body. However, it did not realize that his soul was not in his Knowledge Sea.
Like a normal cultivator, the Frost Marrow poured all of its consciousness into Xiao Lingyu's Knowledge Sea. However, all of it was mercilessly devoured by the grayish-black metal piece.
After losing all of its consciousness, the Frost Marrow fell from the air and automatically emitted a strange chill.
Xiao Lingyu reacted quickly. He immediately released the recently upgraded Primordial Flame to protect his body. Then, he took out a high-grade jade box and put the Frost Marrow inside.
High-grade jade boxes all had the miraculous effect of isolating energy fluctuations, which was why cultivators liked to use them to store all kinds of treasures. This kind of jade box wasn't very useful for a cultivator's cultivation, but every high-grade cultivator would carry a few of them with them.
"Phew!"
Xiao Lingyu let out a long breath and put the jade box into his storage magic treasure. After a long time, he calmed down.
It was another life and death experience. However, for people like Xiao Lingyu who often walked on the edge of life and death, they could face it calmly and quickly recover.
After meditating for three days, Xiao Lingyu stood up straight and flew in a direction at full speed.
The cold and gravity in the gully disappeared. Xiao Lingyu quickly reached the foot of the cliff and jumped to the top.
There was no cold fog here. The path ahead was smooth.
Xiao Lingyu continued forward. He carefully traveled for nearly five hundred years. He did not want to cause trouble, nor did he want to seek opportunities. He did not encounter any real threats.
After all, this independent space limited one's cultivation. If there were too many dangers that Xiao Lingyu could not deal with, those cultivators below the Mystic Demon realm would not be able to come out alive.
After five hundred years, Xiao Lingyu thought that he would need at least one or two hundred years to meet a cultivator from the Immortal World. However, he unexpectedly met one in advance.
That cultivator from the Immortal World looked young. He had delicate features and wore a white brocade robe with a blue belt around his waist. He was originally a carefree person, but now he looked very miserable. This was because there were three demonic beasts that looked like scorpions following behind him. Moreover, those three demonic beasts had the cultivation of late-stage Spirit Demon realm.
Under Xiao Lingyu's intent, that young cultivator's cultivation characteristics and aura could not be concealed. Xiao Lingyu felt that he was from the Immortal World when he sensed the rich immortal spiritual energy on his body.
Knowing that the young cultivator from the Immortal World was only at the late-stage Spirit Demon realm, Xiao Lingyu approached him with ease. He waved his hand and shot out three streams of light, killing the three demonic beasts.
Seeing Xiao Lingyu help him kill off the enemy, the young cultivator felt very grateful. However, when he sensed the demonic aura coming from the three exploding streams of light, he could not stop his heart from tensing up and he became highly vigilant.
"Brother, thank you for your help." Although the young cultivator was nervous, he could only bite the bullet and cupped his fists politely when he saw that the other party was approaching.
The other party could kill three late-stage Spirit Demon demonic beasts with a wave of his hand. The young cultivator knew that he was far inferior to the other party, so he knew that he could not escape.
Xiao Lingyu flew closer and said with a smile, "Haha, it's nothing. You don't have to mention it."
"Brother, you must be a fellow Daoist from the Demon World, right?" the young cultivator asked with a complicated expression.
"That's right. However, you don't have to be nervous. Although I'm from the Demon World, I don't discriminate between immortals and demons in my heart. Since I helped you just now, I naturally won't be your enemy." Xiao Lingyu nodded and replied.
"Brother, you must have a reason for helping me, right?" the young cultivator asked directly.
"There is indeed a small matter that I need your help with," Xiao Lingyu replied.
