"No wonder he was able to achieve an ’S’ rating..."
"No wonder he was able to replicate a fire similar to Brother Gu’s..."
All the confusion was resolved in this moment.
The next moment, from the collapsing snow mountain’s avalanche, a thunderous noise burst forth.
A dazzling purple light soared into the sky.
Soon after, a figure burning with purple light floated up, targeting the two of them.
Shen Li’s face drastically changed.
Clearly... Chu Ling’s judgement was correct, Xu Yan might be injured, but he definitely would not die.
At this moment, at his chest, a cylindrical wound that had been penetrated was slowly closing.
"Divine Miracle" was unfolding.
As an Apostle blessed by the God of Wine, he would not die under such an attack!
Xu Yan zeroed in on the two of them escaping into the distance, his expression cold.
He took a deep breath.
He clenched the grape token!
A purple light shot upwards, chasing towards Chu Ling’s location.
"Hold your breath, protect your body."
Chu Ling spoke softly, uttering this sentence lightly.
She too saw the soaring purple light.
As she expected... The lethal power unleashed by the Flame Demon Umbrella was completely blocked by Xu Yan’s "Apostle Power."
Whether it consumed a petal of the Black Flower or an entire one, the result was no different.
The power exceeding Xu Yan’s own "limit" would be completely stopped by the blessings of the Wine God.
This mere Black Flower was not enough to shake an Apostle’s Divine Power.
So... Chu Ling did not use all her strength.
In her palm, she still pinched half of a Black Flower. Its petals’ edges continuously flowed with black light, collapsing order transformed into Extraordinary Essence, their speed of fleeing once again accelerated!
A buzzing sound by the ear, Shen Li felt that this time, his spirit truly separated from his body!
He felt an endless coldness seeping into his flesh!
His eyebrows, hair, and cheeks were covered with a layer of frost, and the next moment frost piled up, forming ice slag... At this rate, it would only take three to four seconds for his body to turn into a snowman, and his spirit would also "Silent Annihilation" die!
Chu Ling noticed this scene.
She, being a Divine Embryo, could feel the coldness of the world but wouldn’t get frostbitten.
The wear and tear from such high-speed movement wasn’t much... but it was different for Shen Li.
If this continued, without waiting for the "Poison Scorpion’s" Spiritual Poison to act, Shen Li would be frozen to death.
So she manipulated the Black Flower, diverting some Extraordinary Essence to protect the "fragile" body beside her.
This scene was somewhat dramatic.
In fact, the body of "Iron Eater" was extremely formidable.
Upon reaching Great Success, this iron body could withstand all same level "Body Refiners"!
But Shen Li’s current realm was low, far from reaching Great Success... hence, in this level of combat, his body was like a fragile piece of paper, easily punctured, requiring careful protection.
The fluorescent light flowing from the Black Flower enveloped Shen Li.
Several seconds later, his consciousness barely returned.
Little Iron Man’s teeth were chattering, shivering: "Thank you..."
He paused halfway through speaking.
Obviously, he did not know the woman’s name in front of him and did not know how to address her.
While burning the Black Flower and creating distance from the purple light behind, Chu Ling responded.
Shen Li’s face covered in frost, his teeth chattering, he looked back and asked, "Thank you, Miss Chu... where are we going now?"
The original Qingzhong Cemetery was enveloped by this Disaster Realm!
The area was ice-bound, snow drifting for miles.
Even if they fled, where could they go?
Under utter despair, Shen Li suddenly realized... several Titled had entered the cemetery.
"This Disaster Realm, in fact, corresponds to the ’cemetery’ generated. So even though it’s a virtual realm, there is also an invisible map, only... no one has yet figured out the rules."
Chu Ling spoke, as if she had once again used the "Mind Reading Technique" to see through Shen Li’s thoughts: "The Titled inside the cemetery must not be relied on, you can forget about them."
Shen Li was slightly startled.
Before he could ask "why?"
Chu Ling calmly explained, "The rules within this cemetery teleport different people to different locations... with the purpose of maintaining the integrity of the Disaster Realm as much as possible. I guess the ultimate goal of establishing the rules is to keep the ’Disaster Realm’ intact. And in order to maintain the highest integrity, Titled characters are very likely to have been moved to more internal locations."
Actually, she had been in the cemetery for a while.
Once she entered the Golden Gate, she was separated from Li Qingsui.
After entering the cemetery, she tried searching for Li Qingsui, but inside, it was empty and silent, the snowfield covered... not to mention finding Li Qingsui, she couldn’t even see a single figure!
Because signals were blocked, Deep Sea could not know the exact situation of the cemetery.
But it was different with Chu Ling entering personally.
She walked through the snowfield.
And the "source code" at the bottom of Deep Sea began to silently operate, deducing... with tremendous computing power, to simulate the unknown "Disaster Realm rules" within the cemetery!
And the final conclusion was... the Gu Shen she was looking for, the Tomb Guardian, and Li Qingsui, were all likely deep inside the cemetery!
Although Li Qingsui’s Cultivation Realm was low.
She had something on her that others did not... that was the Family Head Token, symbolizing the supreme status of the "Five Great Families"!
