Chapter 1362: Ice Dragon's Sudden Appearance

Xiang Shaoyun had been crippled. High in the sky, black clouds surged violently as one star after another exploded before collapsing. It was as though the heavens were grieving for Xiang Shaoyun. Everyone present could see what was happening. As they witnessed the ongoing phenomenon, they all exclaimed in alarm.

"That devil has been broken. Unless he can get some god-grade medications, he won't amount to much anymore."

"With that lord personally making a move, the devil naturally wouldn't be spared. That lord is probably trying to figure out the purpose behind this devil's appearance on the surface world."

"That's right. We need to figure out his goal. Only then can we effectively deal with the devils."

"Even now, I'm still confused. I thought devils cultivate through their devil cores. What's with his astral energy, which can even cause a phenomenon?"

"Haven't you heard? This is a human body that had been possessed by a devil. This is the body of a human genius. What a pity that such a talented body had been ruined by a devil."

...

"Overlord!" Yu Caidie wailed mournfully. Her eyes turned red as she screeched, "A day will come when I slaughter you to avenge the overlord, you old dog!"

Only now did Yu Caidie fully reveal her feelings for Xiang Shaoyun. Nobody cared more for Xiang Shaoyun than her in this world. Her love for him surpassed even her love for her own life. Unfortunately, she had been defeated and was being suppressed by Yu Huayan. She couldn't do anything to help Xiang Shaoyun.

Yu Huayan took the chance to knock her unconscious, preventing her from saying anything that might provoke the old man. Devil Concubine was similarly stricken with grief. Her tears flowed down incessantly. She loved him, but after finding out that he was a devil, she was at a complete loss as to what she should do.

Han Chenfei also shared a similar sentiment. Although she had decided to give up on her love for Xiang Shaoyun, she still greatly respected and cared for him. Witnessing his suffering, she could feel her heart shattering. As for those from the Xiang Clan, they were incomparably sad as well. However, they were too weak to do anything.

"Let's go. We need to report this to the patriarch and let him make a decision," said Xiang Keren. He couldn't bring himself to stay and continue watching the torture.

"We can't leave. I believe he's the little ancestor. He definitely won't be possessed by a devil. Otherwise, how can you explain the blood-soaked robe?" said Xiang Feidian as he clenched his fists tightly.

Xiang Chenxi also said unyieldingly, "That's right. Even if the little ancestor has to die, we need to stay and collect his corpse."

Within Xiang Shaoyun's astral cosmos sea, Money was thrashing about as he roared furiously, "Boss, let me out! I want to fight alongside you!"

Money could feel that something had happened to Xiang Shaoyun's body. But no matter how he tried, Xiang Shaoyun refused to let him out. He had no way of leaving the astral cosmos sea.

With the destruction of all his stars, Xiang Shaoyun was on the verge of losing his consciousness. Even so, he still maintained his clarity of mind as the Nether Soul Dragon Headband had protected his head and soul, allowing him to clearly assess the situation he was in.

When he sensed the destruction of his stars and the disappearance of all his astral energies, the pain in his heart surpassed the pain he was feeling from his injuries. He had cultivated hard over the years, aiming to one day become the overlord of the world. But in a single day, everything was ruined. Only someone who had similarly been crippled would understand his current feeling.

He even felt like he should just die like this. Without strength and with a crippled body, what kind of future would he still have? Unfortunately, his torture had yet to end. The old man intended to explore his body and would not give up before finding out all his secrets.

Right this moment, the Heavenly Snow Mountain started shaking. The Heavenly Snow Mountain had stood tall for countless years. Not even Saints could deal any damage to the mountain. Only Gods could pose a threat to it. With no godly energy in sight, why was the mountain shaking? Had the intense battle earlier damaged the mountain's foundations?

The old man seemed to have sensed something as an indescribable luster flickered in his eyes. He grabbed Xiang Shaoyun and tried to leave. Right this moment, an explosion erupted somewhere on the Heavenly Snow Mountain.

A terrifying power surged out suddenly, causing the Heavenly Snow Mountain to shake violently and a hail of ice to fall from the sky. Even the mountain's surroundings were affected by this disaster. All the surrounding people were given a fright. Even the God Realm old man could feel that this was no ordinary phenomenon. Just as he was about to leave, an abrupt roar rang out in the air.

Roar!

A dragon's roar rumbled out, causing the world to shake and the clouds in the sky to disperse. The soundwaves rippled in all directions, creating numerous cracks on the frozen ground.

The roar caused numerous eardrums to burst and heavily injured many of the surrounding people. Even the Saints felt their blood turning over and were on the verge of coughing up blood. Only the old man remained fine, thanks to the protection of his godly energy. However, he knew that an even stronger fellow had appeared.

Sure enough, a terrifying ice dragon shot up from under the ground. Its massive body coiled in the sky, its icy scales glistening in the sun. Its massive dragon head looked incomparably valiant while its eyes shone with a penetrating light that seemed capable of piercing through the heavens. It brandished its eight limbs ferociously with an arrogance that disdained the world.

"Dragon! An ice dragon! It came from beneath the Heavenly Snow Mountain!" someone cried out while pointing at the dragon.

"The legends are real. Beneath the Heavenly Snow Mountain was a dragon. What a spectacle. Such a valiant and beautiful being."

"I thought dragons were already extinct in the dominion? It was said that they had long departed the dominion into the boundless starfield. How fortunate that I got to witness a real dragon today."

"This dragon looks angered. Should we retreat first? What if it decides to eat us?"

"With that lord here, we'll be fine. Then again, it's still a good idea for us to move farther away."

...

These people had all been injured. However, the sight of a dragon caused them to forget their injuries. They all wanted to bear witness to the strongest demonic beast that only existed in the legends.

"Ice dragon, we do not intend to offend you. Please excuse us. We'll be leaving immediately," said the old man respectfully. He knew that this dragon was probably as strong as him or even stronger.

"For interrupting my slumber, you deserve to die," said the ice dragon coldly.
