Chapter 1270: Chapter 689: The River of Time Emerges, Gangsha Star Lord Arrives

"Boss, it’s gotten even harder here than before..." Wuzhiqi, seeing Emperor Jiang’s ineffectiveness, couldn’t help but frown.

"The ’Ice Period’ has advanced again. Over the years, the expansion of the Ice Abyss has sped up, and those Ice Demons have become even more formidable. It looks like the road ahead will be even tougher." Emperor Jiang sighed, saying.

"The Ice Sealed Demon Abyss is originally a forbidden place. Unfortunately, the Lost Cave Heaven often emerges in forbidden territories. The Immortal Venerable’s decree is something we cannot defy. We can only... risk our lives.

Boss, if we’re unfortunate enough to ’die,’ please collect our treasures in time for the day we are reborn." Huo Dou walked to the side and said with a wry smile.

"Let’s go, that grotto heaven is about to emerge! Let’s not let the Gangsha Star Lord seize the initiative." Emperor Jiang took flight and landed on the back of the Dragon Elephant, turning to Zhao Sheng and the others.

Upon seeing this, Wuzhiqi, Huo Dou, the Soaring Snake, and Zhao Sheng all flew back to their respective puppets, ready to depart at any moment.

As two Eagle Puppets soared into the sky, the Dragon Elephant Puppet led the way, followed by four Beast Puppets, as the group continued their journey over the ice towards the distant goal.

...

Seven days later, everyone had arduously crossed hundreds of thousands of miles of ice, arriving at a chaotic and strange place.

The icy ground continued to extend infinitely on both sides, but a few hundred miles ahead, the ground suddenly split into a vast rift valley, resembling an abyss with no end in sight.

In the sky above, there was clear spatial distortion, chaotic space rifts filled the space-time, like rampant black storms raging over the canyon, the danger level was off the charts!

This was the "Ice Sealed Demon Abyss" mentioned by Emperor Jiang.

They drove their puppets, slowly approaching the edge of the abyss.

As they got closer, Zhao Sheng quickly noticed the surroundings becoming a bit colder.

At the same time, wisps of pale fog seemed to rise from the pitch-black abyss, and occasionally within the abyss a fog vortex would suddenly form, stirring the surrounding cold winds and greatly increasing the chill.

Looking down, within this fog vortex were countless elusive shadows, resembling a devil’s eye growing from the abyss, staring at them, emanating an indescribable chill in their hearts.

"What is that thing?" Soaring Snake, witnessing this scene, exclaimed in shock.

Zhao Sheng, closest to him, shook his head and said, "Whatever it is. Now that we’ve made it this far, we can’t turn back. I’m sure Brother Jiang has a plan and won’t lead us into certain death."

While the two were still pondering, Emperor Jiang beckoned to them.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng immediately flew over, landing on the back of the Dragon Elephant.

Wuzhiqi, Huo Dou, and the others also followed suit, waiting for the boss’s instructions.

"Everyone, you must have seen the Ice Sealed Abyss ahead. The Lost Cave Heaven we’re seeking is just below." Emperor Jiang seemed quite pleased, with a clear smile in his words.

Wuzhiqi and Huo Dou exchanged glances.

Immediately, Wuzhiqi spoke, "I and Huo Dou have followed the boss in and out of the Ice Sealed Demon Abyss many times and know its dangers well. We naturally have no objections. However, the two newcomers, Kui Niu and Soaring Snake, require more of the boss’s guidance.

"I will ensure the two, Kui Niu and Soaring Snake, survive. Brother Wuzhiqi, you’re overthinking." Emperor Jiang shook his head, speaking calmly.

As soon as the words fell, Huo Dou suddenly said, "After so many days on the road, why don’t we rest here for a day, and enter the Ice Sealed Demon Abyss at this time tomorrow?"

"That plan is good! Let’s rest and recharge today, and set off tomorrow." Emperor Jiang nodded decisively, saying only this.

The four all nodded in agreement, then flew back to their respective places, each retreating into the belly compartments of their puppets, entering meditation to recover.

The next day,

After a series of sharp eagle cries, two gigantic Eagle God Puppets, as big as elephants, descended from the sky, instantly diving into the fog of the Demon Abyss, with only two fleeting shadows left visible.

Moments later, the five Puppet Beasts were enveloped in a layer of Will’s radiance, soaring into the air, charging into the Demon Abyss below.

This time, as usual, the Dragon Elephant Puppet took the lead, the Tiger and Leopard Two Puppets guarded the sides, and the Wolf and Niu brought up the rear,

alongside the Demon Abyss, stretching downward, the scenery along the way was desolate and silent, yet all around, the fog rapidly thickened,

As they descended deeper, the space of the Abyss quickly became vast and boundless, sometimes revealing mysterious beast shadows and lights within the fog.

At times, suddenly within the fog, a bizarre ice storm would form, and if caught in the storm, one would be swept into unbreakable ice shards, instantly shredded to pieces, meeting a tragic end.

During one such ice storm, the group lost an Eagle God Puppet.

Even though Emperor Jiang’s power was unfathomable, his Will Field could envelop a range of thousands of miles, yet he still couldn’t predict the formation of ice storms, only able to hold them off momentarily to allow the group time to escape.

Moreover, the ice storm was indifferent to friend or foe, born purely for the sake of freezing and destroying everything.

Zhao Sheng once personally witnessed a hundred-mile-long Frost Dragon emerge from the abyss fog, only to be swallowed by a sudden storm the next moment, quickly torn to shreds.

As a result, a huge Dragon Ball dropped from the Dragon’s form.

Just before the Dragon Ball was destroyed by the storm, a Chaos tentacle suddenly appeared, tearing through the storm in an instant and swiftly snatched the Dragon Ball back, ultimately delivering it into Emperor Jiang’s hand.
