Celestial Emperor of Devouring-Chapter 653 - 643: Ten-Thousand-Mile Ice River

"It’s already impossible for me to break through the peak of the Late Stage of Half-Immortal in time."

Gu Chenfeng murmured to himself: "The Chaos Young Master’s true body was slain by me, and I seized his Storage Ring. He must be furious, and given his nature, he will stop at nothing for revenge. Moreover, he definitely won’t give me much time."

"Even with the strong Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of the Immortal Realm and Immortal Crystals, plus powerful Ninth Grade Pills, it’s still difficult to break through the peak of the Late Stage of Half-Immortal in a short time, unless possessing immense and pure Ice Attribute Power."

"Such immense and pure Ice Attribute Power is rare and elusive, looking across the entire Cultivation Realm, I’m afraid it can’t be found."

The immense and pure Ice Attribute Power is exceedingly rare.

Gu Chenfeng felt quite helpless. The reason he was anxious to break through the peak of the Late Stage of Half-Immortal was that he intended to ascend to the Immortal Realm.

People from the Immortal and Demon Realms are now all targeting Gu Chenfeng.

If Gu Chenfeng were to ascend to the Immortal Realm, people from the Immortal Realm naturally wouldn’t risk trespassing the Lower Realm.

By then, Gu Chenfeng only needs to break through three Arrays, and even after ascension, if the Demon Realm invades, it will surely alarm the Immortal Realm Envoy.

"The Ice Phoenix has the support of Immortal Crystals and Immortal Techniques, and should break through the peak of the Late Stage of Half-Immortal within half a year. Ascending to the Immortal Realm by then shouldn’t be a problem."

Gu Chenfeng muttered to himself again: "Emperor Jiang has already rebuilt his body. With his talent, and the assistance of Immortal Crystals, he should also break through the peak of the Late Stage of Half-Immortal within half a year."

"Wan’Er has not yet broken through the Tribulation Stage, and it will take some time. However, Wan’Er has already been able to control her bloodline and also has the Ice Immortal Palace Palace Master’s inheritance. Breaking through to the peak of the Late Stage of Half-Immortal should not take too long."

"As long as I ascend to the Immortal Realm, they won’t be in much of a hurry. Cultivating for a few more years will definitely allow them to ascend. But right now, I have no idea where to find pure, immense Ice Attribute, and I fear there’s not enough time to break through the peak of the Late Stage of Half-Immortal."

Speaking of which.

Gu Chenfeng suddenly thought of something, and his figure vanished soundlessly.

When Gu Chenfeng reappeared, he had already arrived at the ruins of the Ice Soul Race territory.

Within the ruins.

The Ice Soul Race Leader was cultivating.

Gu Chenfeng smiled faintly and said, "Ice Soul Race Leader, indeed you’re here."

The Ice Soul Race Leader, startled, opened his eyes and exclaimed, "Young Master Feng?"

Gu Chenfeng flashed down, smiling lightly, and said, "Ice Soul Race Leader, I have something to ask of you."

The Ice Soul Race Leader paused his cultivation, stood up, and smiled, saying, "Please, speak freely, Young Master Feng."

"Then I will be straightforward." Gu Chenfeng chuckled lightly and asked, "The Reincarnation Profound Crystal of the Ice Soul Race, an unparalleled treasure nurtured by heaven and earth, does the Ice Soul Race Leader remember where it was obtained?"

The Ice Soul Race Leader asked in astonishment, "Young Master Feng needs Ice Attribute?"

"Yes." Gu Chenfeng nodded and said, "I don’t know when the people of the Demon Realm will act, but my intuition tells me the people of the Immortal Realm will be here soon."

"To break through before they arrive, I must find immense, pure Ice Attribute treasures or Ice Attribute Power."

"The Ice Attribute of the Ice World cannot improve my cultivation. The only place I can think of is where the Reincarnation Profound Crystal was nurtured. I hope the Ice Soul Race Leader can take me there."

"I see." The Ice Soul Race Leader nodded and smiled, saying, "The place where the Reincarnation Profound Crystal was nurtured is the Ice River of ten thousand miles in the southwest of the Cultivation Realm."

"Ice River of ten thousand miles?" Gu Chenfeng raised an eyebrow and said, "Isn’t that a forbidden area in the Cultivation Realm?"

"Indeed." The Ice Soul Race Leader smiled lightly, saying, "The Reincarnation Profound Crystal was obtained at the Ice River of ten thousand miles. However, the Ice Attribute of the Ice River is not as good as that of the Ice World. This journey may disappoint Young Master Feng."

"Let’s take a look first." Gu Chenfeng smiled slightly, saying, "Since the Ice River of ten thousand miles can nurture the Reincarnation Profound Crystal, there must be extremely powerful Ice Attribute Power."

"Let’s hope so." The Ice Soul Race Leader nodded and then led the way flashing towards the Ice River of ten thousand miles.

"Hopefully, something can be found." Gu Chenfeng prayed silently in his heart, and his figure also flashed away.

A few minutes later.

Above the Ice River of ten thousand miles.

Two figures appeared simultaneously.

It was none other than Gu Chenfeng and the Ice Soul Race Leader.

Looking at the familiar mountain range below, the Ice Soul Race Leader smiled lightly and said, "It’s been many years since I’ve been here, and the Ice River of ten thousand miles has changed quite a bit."

Below, within the mountain range, there was a huge ice river running through the entire range, extremely spectacular.

Due to the presence of the Ice River, the mountains were shrouded in a cold aura.

Due to the restricted area’s nature, and because it’s Ice Attribute, very few cultivators would dare to set foot upon it.

Only those cultivators who need Ice Attribute Herbs, or treasure hunters seeking fortune, or Alchemists, would set foot upon the Ice River of ten thousand miles.

In short, the Ice River of ten thousand miles was desolate.

In the sky above the mountains, the Ice Attribute didn’t seem terrifying, but once entering beneath the Ice River, one would find that even Divinity Transformation Stage powerhouses could hardly withstand the terrifying Ice Attribute.

After a quick glance at the Ice River of ten thousand miles, Gu Chenfeng silently thought to himself: "The Ice Attribute here is indeed not as good as that of the Ice World, but only the river contains Ice Attribute, nothing else. There must be treasure here below."

The Ice Soul Race Leader smiled lightly and said, "Young Master Feng, let me first take you to the place where the Reincarnation Profound Crystal was discovered."

However.

At this moment.

Three figures suddenly appeared and intercepted the two of them.

All three were Tribulation Stage powerhouses with extremely strong powers.

The leading man swept a cold gaze over Gu Chenfeng and the Ice Soul Race Leader, saying indifferently, "The Ice River of ten thousand miles has already been claimed by the Seven-Star Sword Sect. If you two wish to enter, you must hand over half of the treasures obtained."

"The Ice River of ten thousand miles belongs to your Seven-Star Sword Sect?" The Ice Soul Race Leader was slightly taken aback, then sternly said, "When did the forbidden land of the Cultivation Realm become yours?"

A man coldly replied, "It wasn’t before, but it is now. After the collapse of the Ancient Sect, our Seven-Star Sword Sect is the strongest in the southwestern region. Naturally, the Ice River of ten thousand miles belongs to us. If you don’t want to enter, you can leave."

The approach of the Seven-Star Sword Sect was just like the Fire Spirit Race’s previous forceful occupation of the Southern Observation Wilderness.

Hearing this, the Ice Soul Race Leader was instantly enraged and was about to teach the three arrogant juniors a lesson, but was stopped by Gu Chenfeng.

Gu Chenfeng looked at the three and smiled, saying, "We will comply with your terms; half of the treasures will be yours."

The leading man smiled smugly and said, "Kid, at least you’re sensible. You can go in now, but let me warn you, don’t think about getting the treasures and running away, or I’ll kill you both."

If the leading man knew that this was Gu Chenfeng in front of him, he might have swallowed his words.

Leaving behind threats, the three then vanished.

The Ice Soul Race Leader asked puzzled, "Young Master Feng, why agree with them?"

With Gu Chenfeng’s terrifying strength, not to mention the three Tribulation Stage experts, even their backer, the Seven-Star Sword Sect, could be annihilated by a single sword of Gu Chenfeng.

"Time is pressing, let’s find the Ice Attribute first." Gu Chenfeng smiled lightly, saying, "If we find the treasure, then not giving it to them is another matter."
