"Bang! Bang! "
Intense colliding sounds rang out from time to time, and more and more "Phantom Ice Butterflies" died under Tang Huan's sword, while Tang Huan harvested butterfly ice crystals one after another.
At first, Shao Yang was only amazed at Tang Huan's reaction speed, but not long after, he realized that something was wrong.
The reason why the "Phantom Ice Butterfly" posed such a huge threat to the Void Transformation Stage cultivators was because they had already completely fused with the surrounding ice layer. No one could sense their aura, even he, who had undergone the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower, was the same. However, Tang Huan was different. He seemed to be able to predict the existence of the "Phantom Ice Butterfly" in advance, and then attack a moment in advance. In the end, it was as if the "Phantom Ice Butterfly" had collided with the sword beam that Tang Huan had activated.
Such methods could be said to be miraculous.
Shao Yang secretly observed for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out how Tang Huan did it. Seeing Tang Huan keep the butterfly ice crystals one after another, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous. These ice crystals contained the power of the Law of the Tao, and were even more useful to him than the "Profound Ice Red Lotus".
In a year's time, Tang Huan seemed to have passed through more than half of the "Mystic Frost Snow Realm".
When Tang Huan collected the thirty-ninth ice crystal, he finally arrived at the extreme west area of the first floor of the "Tong Tian Tower". A huge arched door entered his line of sight.
That was the passage to the second floor of Tong Tian Tower.
At the moment, a large number of figures were gathered on the high platform that carried the arch. Judging from their expressions, it was obvious that most of them were survivors who had survived the cold wave for a year. Many people were gathered together in twos and threes, recounting the thrilling encounters during this period of time with a look of lingering fear.
After the cold wave receded, rushing to the safe area near the tunnel as fast as possible was indeed the right choice. Here, he could avoid being attacked by the Phantom Ice Butterfly.
"Stop!"
After a while, a loud shout suddenly sounded from the side of the arched door. Immediately after, three figures appeared in front of Tang Huan and Shao Yang, all of them were Void Transformation Stage cultivators.
"You two, if you want to enter the second floor of Tong Tian Tower, you need to pay two Illusory Butterfly Ice Crystals each!" A middle-aged man with a thin face and a long face said in a deep voice.
"Huh?"
Tang Huan was immediately stunned.
I have to pay ice crystals to enter the second floor of Tong Tian Tower? Moreover, the ones blocking the way were actually three Void Transformation Stage fellows. To be so daring, were they tired of living? With a quick thought, Tang Huan could not help but laugh: "Senior Shao Yang, there's actually such a rule to enter the second floor of 'Tong Tian Tower'?"
Shao Yang was also angered to the point of being amused. His face instantly tensed up as he coldly said, "You actually dare to collect ice crystals from this old man? You truly don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Hurry up …"
Just as he said this, Shao Yang's voice suddenly stopped. He actually forcefully swallowed the word "scram" that had rushed to his throat.
He suddenly realized that the reactions of the people around him were very strange.
Under normal circumstances, three fellows at the Sixth Cycle of the Void Transformation Stage wanted ice crystals from a top expert at the Ninth Cycle of the Void Transformation Stage. Such an act of overestimating oneself would definitely be ridiculed by others.
But now, it was the complete opposite. Those people seemed to be waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
Tang Huan also noticed that something was amiss, and frowned slightly.
"Who ordered all of you to be so audacious!" With that thought, Shao Yang shouted in a deep voice. His expression had already become a bit more serious.
"We have come under the orders of 'Patriarch Wuya'. Are you unconvinced?" The horse-faced middle-aged man's face was gloomy, and his eyes revealed a sinister smile.
"Patriarch Wuya?"
Upon hearing these four words, Shao Yang's expression suddenly became extremely ugly.
Hearing this, Tang Huan's brows tightened even more. After inspecting Ji Haitian's memories, he naturally knew what kind of person Patriarch Wuya was.
In the "Ancient Clear Heaven Domain", there were two peak Void Transformation Stage experts.
One was Nie Zhitong, who came from the "Nine Star Holy Gate", and the other was Duan Wuya, the supreme elder of the "Ling Xiao Sword Sect". The so-called "Patriarch Wuya" naturally referred to Duan Wuya.
These two people had already been in the "Ancient Clear Heaven Domain" for more than a thousand years.
With their strength, it wouldn't be difficult for them to pass through the heavenly tribulation and ascend to the heavens. However, they had been suppressing their own cultivation the entire time and didn't trigger the descent of the Heavenly Road.
Within the Ancient Region, there were still many experts at the peak of the Void Transformation Stage like Nie Zhitong and Duan Wuya who had suppressed their cultivation. However, they hadn't been in the Ancient Region for as long as the two of them.
According to the information Tang Huan had gathered, Nie Zhitong had always been elusive, while Duan Wuya was more high-profile. He had absorbed a large number of Void Transformation Stage experts from the second floor of the "Tong Tian Tower", so why did he suddenly order someone to set up a checkpoint here to ask for the Illusory Butterfly Ice Crystal?
"Friend, this old man is Shao Yang. I have met Patriarch Wuya a few times before. I hope that you can make an exception and not pay the ice crystal?"
Taking a deep breath, Shao Yang cupped his hands and said with a smile.
In the Ancient Region, he seemed to be standing at the peak of the small group of cultivators. However, there were still some people that he could not afford to offend, such as a few experts at the peak of the Void Transformation Stage, or Nie Zhitong and Duan Wuya. Although they were both at the Void Transformation Stage, there was a huge difference in strength between the two sides.
"Do you have Patriarch Wuya's keepsake?" The horse-faced middle-aged man sneered.
"No." A hint of awkwardness surfaced on Shao Yang's smiling face.
"If you don't have a keepsake, then what the hell are you talking about?"
The horse-faced middle-aged man's eyes flashed with ridicule as he sneered, "I'll give you two choices. Either you pay two ice crystals, or you scram."
"You …"
Shao Yang was so angry that his face turned ashen and his entire body trembled.
A dignified Void Transformation Stage expert was actually reprimanded in such a manner, almost causing his lungs to explode from anger. If he was facing any other Void Transformation Stage cultivator, Shao Yang would have long since smacked him into a meat patty. However, the one standing behind this person was Patriarch Wuya, causing him to have no choice but to forcefully suppress the anger in his chest.
"Actually, there is a third choice, and that is for all of you to scram!"
A sneer suddenly sounded out, and it was Tang Huan who suddenly took a step forward. The instant the "Absolute Yang Scarlet Scale Sword" appeared, it had already transformed into a Dragon Slaughtering Saber. To Tang Huan, who already possessed thirty-nine Illusory Butterfly Ice Crystals, the toll of two was not worth mentioning. However, he was not interested in paying at all.
So what if it was Patriarch Wuya?
Now that Tang Huan possessed the "Illusory Sword Heavenly Palace", there was no need for him to be afraid.
"No!"
Sensing Tang Huan's movements, Shao Yang turned pale with fright. He did not care about his anger and quickly shouted out.
However, the moment his voice came out, the Dragon Slaughtering Saber in Tang Huan's hand had already slashed out, its speed faster than lightning, and a terrifying might filled the air. Even if there was a towering mountain in front of him, it would still be split into two by Tang Huan's simple slash.
"Saber Death!"
