Chapter 2982: A Sense of Familiarity
The vast Ice Goddess Hall was like an ancient beast, standing within the drifting snow silently. Although the artifact spirit was no longer present, it still possessed the same terrifying presence that could suppress everything.
The majestic entrance of the Ice Goddess Hall was wide open as well. Anyone could set foot in there. Even the many formations and restrictions in the Ice Goddess Hall had been rendered useless.
Throughout the entire Ice Goddess Hall, only the Ice Goddess Formation in the very depths created a forbidden zone.
At this moment, outside the Ice Goddess Hall, Yue Wuguang’s presence was weak. He used the last bit of power in his body to smash through the crystalline snowflakes along the way, directly rushing through the open entrance of the divine hall and entering the Ice Goddess Hall.
He was already slowing down, clearly running out of energy now.
The moment Yue Wuguang entered the Ice Goddess Hall, Jian Chen arrived as well. His surroundings pulsed with the Laws of Space as he entered the Ice Goddess Hall instantly with a single step.
Following him closely was the great elder of the Moon God Hall, Yue Wuguang.
Stepping through the entrance, the first thing that appeared in his field of vision was an extremely spacious hall. It was better described as a boundless tundra than a hall, as the hall was far too great. It was impossible to see the end of it with the naked eye.
The Ice Goddess Hall was clearly bigger on the inside. Its interior was as large as a miniature world, far exceeding the area that the Ice Goddess Hall covered on the outside.
There was a flash, and the injured Yue Wuguang appeared in the hall, but after reaching this place, he could no longer maintain his flight anymore. He fell out of the air instantly and struck the ground heavily.
Soon afterwards, a thin layer of ice crystals rapidly spread across his body. In that instant, Yue Wuguang seemed to become an ice statue.
The coldness within the Ice Goddess Hall was extremely intense. It was nothing to Primordial realm experts that were in perfect shape, as resisting it was not difficult. However, not only was Yue Wuguang heavily injured, but he had even used a secret technique. The great power he had obtained in exchange for the great price he had paid had almost run out too. He had reached the end of the rope a long time ago. He was so weak that he could not even resist the coldness within the Ice Goddess Hall.
“The Ice Goddess Formation! The Ice Goddess Formation! I want to go to the Ice Goddess Formation! Even if I die, I’ll sacrifice myself to make the Ice Goddess Formation’s powers erupt so that you die with me!” Yue Wuguang’s eye sockets were empty. If he still had his eyes, then it would definitely be possible to see his intense hatred.
He ground his teeth and held on forcefully, dragging his body that had grown rather rigid from the cold already with everything he had towards the depths of the Ice Goddess Hall.
However, his speed was not even close to a tenth of what he possessed outside the divine hall.
“Yue Wuguang, you’ve already reached the end of the road.” At this moment, Yun Wufeng’s voice rang out from behind. With a flash, he and Jian Chen immediately shot past Yue Wuguang, blocking his path.
Yue Wuguang had lost his eyes, but he was still a Seventh Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime after all, so he could still clearly sense everything around him even if he could not see.
Sensing the two people blocking his path, Yue Wuguang’s face immediately twisted as if he had gone crazy. He said resentfully, “Yun Wufeng, if I had known the disaster you would bring to the Moon God Hall today, I would have completely eliminated you back then no matter what, ridding you for good. I feel regret, great regret for not pleading with the hall master to kill you for good. Otherwise, why would the Moon God Hall face its current predicament?”
“Yue Wuguang, you traitor. Even at the brink of death, you adhere to your foolish ways. If the lot of you hadn’t committed betrayal with Nan Potian back then, why would the Moon God Hall end up like this at all?” Yun Wufeng’s face sank as he ground his teeth. “Think about just how many disciples were killed by you during these years, as well as just how many innocent elders have died at your hands. Even little Yue’er was unable to avoid this fate. You traitors of the Moon God Hall have already committed far, far too many sins. You’re steeped in crime.”
“Today, I, Yun Wufeng, will clean up the Moon God Hall and personally kill a traitor like you.” Yun Wufeng’s eyes shone with killing intent, suddenly swinging down with his sword and immediately destroying Yue Wuguang’s soul.
Yue Wuguang’s presence rapidly vanished. All of his life force disappeared, dying for good.
The mightiest great elder of the Moon God Hall, a Seventh Layer Chaotic Prime, collapsed in his own pool of blood just like this.
However, Yun Wufeng did not cheer up at all after killing Yue Wuguang. Instead, he felt disappointment. He stood before Yue Wuguang’s corpse silently and only let out a gentle sigh after a very long while.
Jian Chen’s gaze also landed on Yue Wuguang’s corpse, his expression mixed. He understood that the Seventh Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime before him could be described as directly dying to his hands. If it were not for his Profound Sword Qi, Yun Wufeng would have never been Yue Wuguang’s opponent.
Suddenly, Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed. He merged with the space around him and vanished instantly. When he appeared again, he was already a hundred kilometers away. The Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways soon appeared in his hand, and he directly slashed it at the empty air.
“Argh!”
A shrill howl immediately rang out from the empty space, as if a sliver of a soul had completely dispersed under Jian Chen’s attack.
Yun Wufeng suddenly looked over. His expression became ugly. He said sternly, “It’s Yue Wuguang. He actually managed to escape with a silver of his soul without alarming anyone. How dangerous. We almost let him get away.”
“Yue Wuguang should be dead for good now.” Jian Chen stowed the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways away and arrived beside Yun Wufeng with a flash. He checked Yue Wuguang’s corpse and shook his head in some disdain. He immediately gave up on the thought of collecting it and feeding it to the Immortal Devouring Orchid.
At this moment, a man in white with an ordinary appearance appeared out of thin air near Jian Chen and Yun Wufeng with a pulse of energy. He was dishevelled and in horrible shape, and his face was sheet-white.
Spurt! The moment he appeared, his mouth sprayed with blood, drifting and scattering in this world of ice and snow with pieces of his organs.
“Hahahahaha!” Soon afterwards, an old man’s laughter rang out, echoing through the space there. An old man with a wide-brimmed, conical hat rushed over from behind. He moved extremely quickly, appearing before the man in white instantly. With a wave of his hand, a bronze cauldron appeared and radiated with the might of a medium quality god artifact, freezing the space around the man in white. The cauldron then slammed down and immediately swallowed the man.
From the man in white’s appearance to ending up in the cauldron, the entire process had only taken a few seconds. It could be described as extremely brief.
“An Eighth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime!” Yun Wufeng and Jian Chen witnessed this from nearby and immediately shivered inside.
The old man was even stronger than Yue Wuguang.
However, Jian Chen did have some doubts. The man in white who just appeared actually gave him a sense of familiarity. It felt like he had seen this person somewhere before.
However, no matter how he racked his brains, he was simply unable to recall the source of this sense of familiarity.
The old man also noticed Jian Chen and Yun Wufeng. His eyes hidden under the hat immediately flashed with powerful killing intent, but he soon noticed Yue Wuguang’s corpse from the corner of his eye. He immediately shivered inside and thought, “A Seventh Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime. The two of them actually managed to kill a Seventh Heavenly Layer expert and force him to such a horrific shape.”
“Looks like the two of them are anything but ordinary. They might even be able to challenge those stronger than them. Whatever, let’s not make any unnecessary problems.” With that, the old man gave up on the thought of silencing them with death. He stowed the cauldron away and left the Ice Goddess Hall with a single step.
