Chapter 2444: Ice Phoenix (2)
Lan Bingxue's face turned icy. She waved her hand, and a streak of blue flame instantly shot toward Yun Lintian.
Sensing the incoming danger, Yun Lintian turned and activated the power of the Sun as he swung the sword, which was covered with Phoenix flames, at the oncoming freezing flame.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
BANG!
Yun Lintian was sent flying toward the portal. It was his intention to use the impact to reduce the distance.
Seeing this, Lan Bingxue's face darkened. She was about to make another move, but Yun Lintian's aura suddenly burst out as his speed increased significantly. In the next moment, Yun Lintian disappeared into the portal.
Lan Bingxue lowered her hand. Her expression was frosty. She didn't expect Yun Lintian to escape her grasp like this.
She stared at the portal for a moment, then turned and disappeared.

Thud!
Yun Lintian landed hard on the cold, unforgiving ground, the air thick with the smell of snow and ice. He looked up and saw a vast, frozen landscape stretching out before him, the sky a pale, ethereal blue.
He had no idea where he was, but the fact that Lan Bingxue didn't chase after him proved that this place was not ordinary.
Yun Lintian got up, slapped the snow off his robe, and asked, "Are you saying that the actual Ice Phoenix is here?"
"Mhm..." Gui Xiao nodded and looked at the snowstorm ahead. "Here..."
Yun Lintian frowned slightly as he sensed the chaotic energy here was even denser than outside. Moreover, it was filled with a chilling intent that seemed to seep into his bones, hindering his ability to recover his divine energy.
The snowstorm raged around him, the wind howling like a hungry beast. Visibility was limited to a few meters, the swirling snow obscuring everything in its path. Yun Lintian activated his Eyes of Heaven, trying to pierce through the blinding blizzard, but it was like trying to see through thick fog.
He could sense powerful auras scattered throughout the frozen wasteland, each radiating an ancient and primal energy. These were God Beasts, creatures of immense power that had roamed this land since time immemorial.
Yun Lintian thought for a moment and began to move forward cautiously, his senses on high alert. He knew that any misstep could attract unwanted attention, and a confrontation with a God Beast in his current state was not something he desired.
As he trudged through the snowstorm, a guttural roar echoed through the air, sending chills down his spine.
"ROARRRR!!"
A massive figure emerged from the swirling snow, its eyes glowing with ferocious intensity. It was a Snow Ape, its fur as white as the surrounding snow, its muscles rippling with power. It stood over three meters tall, its arms as thick as tree trunks, its fangs bared in a menacing snarl.
"ROAR!" The Snow Ape charged toward Yun Lintian, its massive fists clenched, its eyes burning with bloodlust.
Yun Lintian immediately drew his Heaven Piercing Sword, its golden blade gleaming in the dim light. He channeled his divine energy into the sword, the blade erupting in a fiery blaze. He met the Snow Ape's charge head-on, the sword clashing against the beast's thick fur.
BOOM!!
Sparks flew as the two forces collided, the impact sending tremors through the ground. Yun Lintian felt a jolt of pain shoot up his arm; the sheer force of the Snow Ape's blow nearly dislocated his shoulder.
He frowned deeply and exerted his strength to push back, his muscles straining under the immense pressure.
"ROARRR!!" The Snow Ape roared again, its breath forming a cloud of ice crystals in the frigid air. It swung its massive arms, its fists raining down on Yun Lintian like meteorites.
Swoosh! BANG!
Yun Lintian weaved and dodged, his movements fluid and agile despite the hindering environment. He parried the Snow Ape's blows with his sword, the blade deflecting the powerful strikes with a ringing clang. He countered with swift thrusts and slashes, aiming for the beast's vulnerable points. But the Snow Ape's thick fur and tough hide proved to be a formidable defense, deflecting most of his attacks.
Bang!
Yun Lintian retreated several meters from the Snow Ape. His mind raced. He didn't want to attract more attention from the surrounding beasts, as he had no idea whether there was a stronger one nearby. He had to find a way to eliminate this Snow Ape as soon as possible. Without further thought, Yun Lintian put the Heaven Piercing Sword away and took out the fire elemental sword. With a buzz, the red sword was instantly covered with Golden Crow flames. Yun Lintian silently invoked the power of the Primordial Sun God, and the Golden Crow flames quickly intensified, melting the surrounding snowstorm.
The Snow Ape seemed to sense danger. It immediately let out a roar and charged toward Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian channeled the Law of Space, his body flickering with spatial distortions. He appeared behind the Snow Ape, his sword aimed at the beast's exposed back.
Puff!
With a swift swing, the searing sword sank into the Snow Ape's back. Its thick fur was instantly burned to ashes.
"ROARRR!!" The Snow Ape roared in pain and spun around with surprising agility, its massive fist connecting with Yun Lintian's chest.
BANG!
Yun Lintian was sent flying, his body crashing through a snowdrift. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his ribs aching from the impact. He ignored the pain and raised two fingers while
uttering, "Ignite."
BOOM!!
Instantly, terrifying Golden Crow flames burst out of the wound on the Snow Ape's back and engulfed its massive body entirely.
"ROARRRR!!" The Snow Ape screamed in pain and swung its fists randomly. Its massive feet kept stomping the ground, causing the entire space to tremble.
Yun Lintian held the fire elemental sword high and swung it at the Snow Ape from a distance. Terrifyingly sharp sword energy cut through the space and cleaved the Snow Ape's burning
body.
PUFF!!
The Snow Ape was cleaved in half, its defense unable to withstand the sword energy. With a thud, the Snow Ape's remains continued to burn vigorously until they were reduced to
ashes.
The snowstorm continued to howl as Yun Lintian took a deep breath to calm his injuries. This Snow Ape was definitely the strongest God Beast he had encountered so far. It was obviously at the God Ascension Realm, but its strength was on par with a True God in the Primal Chaos.
Yun Lintian put the sword away and looked into the snowstorm on his right. He wanted to see what kind of secret this place held...
