Chapter 2450: Northern Region (2)
The moment Yun Lintian stepped into the northern region, it was like crossing an invisible threshold into another world. The already brutal cold intensified, the wind howling with a ferocity that threatened to tear him apart.
The snow, no longer mere flakes, but sharp, icy shards, stung his face like needles, and the visibility dropped to near zero.
Even with his robust cultivation and the Moon relic subtly converting the chaotic energy into a usable form, Yun Lintian found himself struggling.
The sheer intensity of the cold was unlike anything he had ever experienced. It felt as if his very essence was being frozen, his divine energy struggling to circulate, his movements growing sluggish.
Yun Lintian braced himself up, channeling his divine energy with renewed vigor, reinforcing the protective barrier around him. He pushed forward, his steps heavy and deliberate, each one a victory against the overwhelming force of the frozen wasteland.
Gui Xiao and Hei Shou huddled closer to him, seeking warmth and protection. Even they, with their resilient nature, were affected by the extreme cold.
Gui Xiao's usually playful demeanor was subdued, his black-green eyes wide with apprehension. Hei Shou, the embodiment of death, shivered slightly, his shadowy form flickering with unease.
Yun Lintian activated his Eyes of Heaven, their power amplified by his strengthened divine sense. He peered through the blinding snowstorm, his vision penetrating the swirling chaos, searching for any landmarks, any signs of life, any hint of the path towards his goal.
The landscape was a desolate expanse of white, the ground a treacherous maze of ice ridges and hidden crevasses. The wind howled like a chorus of lost souls, the only sound in this frozen purgatory.
Yun Lintian's senses were on high alert, scanning for any signs of danger. He could feel the presence of powerful God Beasts lurking in the shadows, their auras masked by the blizzard, their eyes watching his every move.
He sensed the presence of a colossal Ice Wyvern, its scales shimmering like diamonds, its breath a freezing blast that could turn flesh to ice in an instant. He felt the tremors caused by a gigantic Frost Mammoth, its footsteps shaking the ground, its tusks capable of impaling a mountain.
Yun Lintian tried his best to conceal his aura, blending himself to the surrounding environment.
As Yun Lintian cautiously navigated the treacherous terrain, a chilling growl suddenly echoed through the howling wind, sending a shiver down his spine. A pair of luminous eyes, like twin emeralds, pierced the swirling snow, locking onto him with predatory intensity.
Swoosh!
Before Yun Lintian could react, a massive form launched itself from a snowdrift, its sleek, white fur blending seamlessly with the blizzard. It was a Snow Leopard, a God Beast at the peak of the God Ascension Realm, its power amplified by the chilling aura of the northern region.
The Snow Leopard moved with lightning speed, its powerful limbs propelling it through the air like a phantom. Its jaws were wide open, revealing rows of razor-sharp teeth, its claws extended, ready to tear into its prey.
Yun Lintian reacted instantly, drawing his Heaven Piercing Sword in a flash of golden light. He channeled his divine energy into the blade, the golden light intensifying, forming a protective aura around him.
BANG!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The Snow Leopard crashed into him with the force of a blizzard, its claws raking across his defenses, sparks flying as they met the golden aura.
Yun Lintian furrowed his brow, his muscles straining as he deflected the powerful blows. He countered with a swift thrust of his sword, aiming for the Snow Leopard's exposed flank. But the beast was agile, twisting its body mid-air, narrowly avoiding the deadly strike. The Snow Leopard landed gracefully, its eyes burning with predatory intensity. It circled Yun Lintian, its movements fluid and unpredictable, searching for an opening in his defenses. Yun Lintian remained vigilant, his sword held high, his senses alert. He knew he couldn't underestimate this beast. Its speed and agility were unmatched, its power amplified by the harsh environment.
AWO0000-
Suddenly, a chorus of howls pierced the air, sending a chill down Yun Lintian's spine. From the swirling snow, a pack of Snow Wolves emerged, their eyes glowing with a hungry glint, their fangs bared in menacing snarls.
They were drawn by the scent of battle, the promise of a feast. They surrounded Yun Lintian, their bodies low to the ground, their movements synchronized, their eyes fixed on their prey. Yun Lintian found himself trapped, surrounded by a pack of ferocious predators. He knew he was in a precarious situation. Fighting both the Snow Leopard and the Snow Wolves simultaneously would be a daunting task, even for him.
The Snow Leopard, sensing an opportunity, launched another attack, its claws aimed at Yun Lintian's throat. Yun Lintian parried the blow with his sword, the impact sending shockwaves through his arm.
The Snow Wolves seized the moment, lunging at Yun Lintian from all sides. Their jaws snapped, their claws raked, their bodies a blur of white fur and sharp teeth.
Without hesitation, Yun Lintian unleashed his power.
Scree-
A surge of golden light erupted from Yun Lintian's body, pushing back the Snow Wolves with
a wave of scorching heat. The Divine Phoenix bloodline within him roared to life, its fiery essence manifesting as a blazing aura that enveloped him in a protective cocoon.
"Roar!" The Snow Wolves yelped, recoiling from the intense heat, their fur singed, their eyes wide with fear. They had never encountered such a power before, a force that seemed to defy the very nature of their frozen domain.
Yun Lintian didn't stop there. He channeled the power of the White Tiger God bloodline, his body surging with strength and agility. He moved like a phantom, his movements blurring, his sword a whirlwind of golden light, deflecting the wolves' attacks with pinpoint accuracy.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Each strike carried the weight of a mountain, the sharpness of a thousand blades. The Snow Wolves, unable to withstand the onslaught, were sent flying, their bodies crashing against the ice, their howls turning into whimpers of pain.
However, the Snow Leopard was a different story. Its power far surpassing that of the wolves. It lunged at Yun Lintian, its claws tearing through the air, its jaws snapping with ferocious
intent.
BOOM!!
Yun Lintian met its attack head-on, his Heaven Piercing Sword clashing against the leopard's claws, sparks flying, the air filled with the screech of metal against bone.
The force of the impact sent tremors through the ground, the two figures locked in a deadly
embrace...
