Chapter 1059: Fighting the Ice Flame

Catching a glimpse of Ye Yuan entering the formation out of the corner of his eye, He Dajiang's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

If Ye Yuan really could subdue the Ice Flame Profound Emperor Mushroom, then their group would be in great danger! Ding Zhanguo was extremely powerful, at least no weaker than Wu Yuanqiao.

Once he was freed, the Haotian Palace would surely counterattack.

By then, the three of them would have to face five Void Profound experts, and the situation would be reversed in an instant.

He Dajiang, a long-established great figure, remained calm in the crisis and directly cut into the battle between Wu Yuanqiao and Ao Qian, shouting, "Go deal with Shu Yunqing quickly! Strike while the iron is hot!"

Wu Yuanqiao's heart tightened, not expecting the situation to change so quickly.

This dragon clan member before him was far too formidable.

He Dajiang was also fierce; his Divine King domain was the Blade Domain, and when he fought Ao Qian, he steadily gained the upper hand.

These deputies of the super holy lands were all old monster-level figures, with profound and unfathomable strength that they usually never revealed. But no one dared to underestimate their power.

The strongest of the eight super holy lands were not inferior to the ten Divine Kings. Coupled with the heritage of the super holy lands, even the ten Divine Kings would not easily provoke them.

As for someone like He Dajiang, he could be considered the strongest of the second tier.

If Ao Qian had recovered all his strength, he naturally wouldn't fear him. But in his current state, he was still slightly inferior to He Dajiang.

At this moment, He Dajiang was also anxious, going all out to seek a quick resolution.

Although Ao Qian's strength had not returned to its peak and was slightly behind He Dajiang, his experience far surpassed that of an old monster like He Dajiang.

He knew He Dajiang was eager for a quick victory, so he himself became unhurried.

His "Dragon Soaring the Four Seas" seemed harmless, but in reality, it was full of undercurrents.

Now he had completely adopted a defensive stance, using his water-attribute Divine King domain to defend, truly watertight.

No matter how powerful He Dajiang's Blade Domain was, it could not break through the continuous Water Domain.

As for Shu Yunqing, due to his severe injuries, he was hard-pressed facing the combined attack of Wu Yuanqiao and Yue Xinping.

He Dajiang's earlier sneak attack was extremely vicious; now Shu Yunqing could at most exert thirty to forty percent of his full strength.

Wu Yuanqiao was also a seasoned Void Profound expert, though not as strong as He Dajiang, still not to be underestimated.

After a fierce battle, Shu Yunqing was increasingly unable to hold on.

Jiang Taicang and the other exchanged glances and tacitly joined the fray!

Although they had just entered the Void Profound realm, they were not far behind a Void Profound expert like Yue Xinping, and fighting two against one, they held their own.

Thus, Shu Yunqing's pressure was suddenly relieved.

For a time, both sides fell into a stalemate.

Now it all depended on when Ding Zhanguo could be freed; the balance of this battle would then tip completely in Ye Yuan's favor.

He Dajiang was secretly anxious, but he simply couldn't break through Ao Qian's defense. At this moment, he could only silently pray that Ye Yuan would fail to subdue the Ice Flame Profound Emperor Mushroom.

On this side, Ding Zhanguo was fully activating the formation, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

The formation he had set up was called the Profound Heaven Nine Fight Formation, one of the strongest formation inheritances of the Ding family of Haotian Palace.

However, although Ding Zhanguo was known as the foremost formation master under the Grand Yan Divine King, his strength was still far inferior to Lu Linfeng's.

Even with this Profound Heaven Nine Fight Formation, Ding Zhanguo had only comprehended eighty percent of it.

"I'll open a gap; you take the opportunity to enter the formation. But you only have one breath's time; otherwise, once his ice flame spreads out, I won't be able to hold it back either," Ding Zhanguo said.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "No need, I'll go in myself."

Ding Zhanguo was stunned, blurting out, "How did you get in... uh..."

He only got halfway through his words when he saw Ye Yuan step into the formation with ease.

Ding Zhanguo's eyes widened, staring at the scene in disbelief.

"This... how is this possible?" Ding Zhanguo murmured.

"Boom!"

The tremendous impact brought Ding Zhanguo back to his senses. He quickly composed himself, activated the formation, and stabilized it.

Yet the shock in his heart was beyond measure.

The Xuantian Nine Dipper Formation was a supreme heirloom of the Ding family, profound and unfathomable. He had spent several thousand years comprehending it, yet had only grasped eighty percent.

Even so, dealing with ordinary Void Xuan experts was far too easy for him.

Ding Zhanguo knew that Ye Yuan was a ninth-rank Array Emperor, but Ye Yuan's array dao level should not have been able to break the Xuantian Nine Dipper Formation!

Yet now, Ye Yuan had entered the formation so effortlessly, which could only mean that Ye Yuan's array dao level was at least on par with his own.

He guessed correctly. Ye Yuan had comprehended the "Three Volumes of Array Dao," and over the years, his array dao level had made significant progress.

Though he had not yet reached the heights of Lu Linfeng, entering the Xuantian Nine Dipper Formation was well within his ability.

Ye Yuan maneuvered through the formation and soon approached the Ice Flame Mystic Emperor Mushroom.

The Ice Flame Mystic Emperor Mushroom got its name because it could release an extremely terrifying ice flame.

The ice flame emitted by a million-year-old Ice Flame Mystic Emperor Mushroom, even if a Void Xuan expert was hit, would at least result in severe injury.

Otherwise, a strong expert like Ding Zhanguo would not have looked so threatened.

This ice flame could actually be classified as a type of primal fire, but it was not suitable for alchemy because it had no temperature—it was a cold flame.

However, this ice flame had immense destructive power, capable of even burning ordinary people into nothingness.

Seeing Ye Yuan approach, the Ice Flame Mystic Emperor Mushroom, like a frightened little rabbit, frantically sprayed ice flames at him.

In an instant, Ye Yuan was completely engulfed in the ice flame, no longer visible.

Seeing this, Ding Zhanguo was startled, thinking something was wrong.

He Dajiang, on the other hand, laughed wildly, saying, "I thought this kid had some real skill, but he's bitten off more than he can chew! Let's see how he gets out of these ice flames."

Outside, Ye Yuan's aura could no longer be sensed at all, as if he had been completely swallowed by the ice flame.

Ao Qian sneered inwardly at He Dajiang's smugness.

Having subdued Ye Yuan in one move, the Ice Flame Mystic Emperor Mushroom also danced excitedly, as if it had achieved a great victory.

But just then, the mass of ice flame suddenly stopped flickering, as if frozen solid.

"Crack... crack, crack..."

The next moment, the ice flame actually solidified into ice, and then cracks appeared all over it.

"Bang!"

The ice flame shattered completely, turning into chunks of ice shards that fell to the ground.

At this sight, everyone's expression changed dramatically.

Within the ice flame, there was now an extra person!

A woman!

This woman was icy and stunning, as if she were incarnated from ten-thousand-year-old profound ice.
