Furthermore, under Li Yao's tutelage, his cultivation level increased dramatically.
Therefore, a mere mountain god was no match for Yang Jian. In just a dozen or so rounds, Yang Jian utterly defeated the mountain god.
Having defeated the mountain god, the mountain god had no choice but to open the stone gate.
However, before opening the stone door, he reminded Li Yao and the others: "Even if you defeat me, there is an ancient ice beast inside guarding the Heaven-Opening Axe. The ancient ice beast is an ancient ferocious beast. It is impossible for you to take the Heaven-Opening Axe from me. I advise you to leave quickly."
"No one can stop me from taking the Heaven-Opening Axe!"
Yang Jian's attitude was very firm.
As long as he could take the Heaven-Opening Axe, split open Peach Mountain, and break the chains binding his mother, he wouldn't hesitate to jump into the abyss ahead without batting an eye.
He was determined to get the Heaven-Opening Axe!
"Enough talk, open the stone door!"
Li Yao shouted loudly.
"Since you are determined to seek your own death, then I, the god, will grant your wish."
As he spoke, the mountain god opened the stone door.
With a rumbling sound, the stone door slowly opened, revealing a stone chamber.
Instantly, a white mist of ice emanated from inside the stone chamber, and a chilling, bone-deep cold swept over them.
Yang Jian went in without the slightest hesitation.
Xiaotianquan and Yang Chan followed closely behind.
Afterwards, Li Yao led Xiaobai and Linglong slowly into the stone chamber.
The instant everyone entered the stone chamber.
Suddenly, with a loud bang, the stone door slammed shut on its own.
The stone chamber was completely dark, with no visible lighting.
Li Yao carefully examined the stone chamber.
The stone chamber was very large, about the size of a football field.
The ground was entirely covered with ice, from which cold white steam constantly rose.
The surrounding walls were covered with many ice crystals.
Many of the ice crystals were covered with layers of frost.
Above the roof, many huge icicles hang upside down, resembling stalactites in shape. They are crystal clear and emit colorful hues under the lights, making them very beautiful.
It was as if they had entered a world of ice, where ice was everywhere.
"roar!"
Just as Li Yao and the others were looking around the stone chamber.
Suddenly, a huge monster covered in ice crystals appeared out of nowhere and attacked them.
They immediately moved aside and examined the monster.
The ice beast looked as if it were carved from ice. It resembled a lion, but had two extremely sharp ice horns on its head, the tips of which gleamed with a cold light, sending chills down one's spine.
The ice beast's eyes were like two crystal-clear sapphires, set in its head.
Within its enormous, ice-sculpted mouth were two rows of sharp, razor-sharp teeth.
The ice beast's body was covered with countless sharp ice spikes, gleaming and chilling.
The ice beast's tail was like a series of icicle segments, with an extremely sharp icicle at the end.
Is this the Primordial Ice Beast?
Li Yao still remembers that in the world of "Lotus Lantern", Chenxiang came here to borrow the Heaven-Opening Axe, but he had to pass three tests.
Each level is guarded by an ancient god with boundless magical power.
The first challenge is guarded by the Ice God, and Chenxiang needs to find a way to melt the ice and snow throughout the cave.
The second challenge is guarded by the God of Power, who tempts Chenxiang, promising to help him seize the Jade Emperor's position and use his benevolence to benefit the Three Realms.
The third challenge is guarded by death, requiring Chenxiang to risk infection to seek help from a village infected by the plague.
Li Yao guessed that these so-called three tests were actually a method used by Yang Jian in the original drama to test his nephew.
Chapter 698 Can't be lifted
roar!
The Primordial Ice Beast suddenly roared and charged towards Li Yao and the others.
when!
Yang Jian rushed out, slashing down at the ice beast's head with his three-pointed double-edged sword.
Surprisingly, the ice beast's head, which appeared to be carved from ice, was actually incredibly hard.
Even the three-pointed double-edged sword couldn't harm the ice beast in the slightest.
"What a wicked beast!"
Yang Jian's expression hardened, and he slashed down with his three-pointed, double-edged sword once more.
A crisp sound rang out.
The blade's edge struck the ice corner, generating an immense impact that sent Yang Jian flying uncontrollably backward, crashing heavily into an ice wall. His blood and qi surged violently within his chest and abdomen.
"What a powerful ice beast!"
Yang Jian was greatly surprised.
He originally thought it was just a monster, how could it be more powerful than Marshal Tianpeng?
I never expected that this ice beast would be even more powerful than Marshal Tianpeng.
roar!
The ancient ice beast roared angrily.
Even though Yang Jian's two strikes did not harm the ice beast at all, they had already enraged it.
The ice beast, with its icy hooves and two sharp ice horns on its head, charged at Yang Jian without giving him any chance to breathe.
"Watch out, Second Brother!"
Yang Chan noticed that her second brother seemed unable to dodge in time.
She quickly took out her precious lotus lantern.
Instantly, the Lotus Lantern burst into a burst of green light, its immense power enveloping the ice beast and momentarily disorienting it.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yang Jian thrust out his three-pointed double-edged sword.
roar!
The ice beast suddenly regained its senses, roared at Yang Jian, and charged at him once again.
when!
The three-pointed double-edged sword pierced the ice beast's head, sparking brilliant sparks, but it did not harm the ice beast in the slightest.
"Husband, I never expected this ancient ice beast to be so powerful!"
"Even a three-pointed double-edged sword can't harm it!"
Xiao Bai, who was watching from the sidelines, was full of surprise.
The three-pointed double-edged sword was transformed from a three-headed dragon. It was not only extremely sharp, but also possessed powerful magical energy.
With the added power of Yang Jian's magic, the ice beast was completely unharmed.
"That's really impressive!"
"However, everything in the universe has its counterpart, and no matter how powerful this ancient ice beast is, there will be ways to restrain it."
Li Yao said calmly.
He had no intention of making a move.
He wanted Yang Jian to use his own abilities to obtain the Heaven-Opening Axe and rescue his mother.
Of course, if Yang Jian really couldn't defeat this ice beast, he would have no choice but to take action himself.
However, the outcome is uncertain at the moment, so let Yang Jian try a few more times.
"Yang Jian, you can try using fire!"
Xiao Bai thought that since this monster was called the Ice Beast, ice would melt when it met fire.
Therefore, using fire might be effective.
"That's right, how come I didn't remember!"
Reminded by his master's wife, Yang Jian suddenly woke up.
He quickly channeled his fire-elemental magic and thrust out his three-pointed double-edged sword.
boom!
A burst of intense flame erupted from the tip of the blade, rushing towards the ice beast.
Unexpectedly, the ice beast opened its massive maw and swallowed the ball of fire whole.
Suddenly, thick white mist billowed out from the ice beast's giant mouth.
"No way!"
"This beast isn't afraid of fire?"
Yang Jian's pupils suddenly contracted.
This outcome was somewhat unexpected for him.
What on earth is this ice beast? It's not even afraid of fire!
