Chapter 2011 Ice Phoenix's Lingering Grief, How Could It Be You?
"Ah."
Mo Fan nodded, his gaze falling on the black-robed skeleton. He felt a deep respect and bowed slightly, saying in a deep voice, "Senior, rest assured, I will never allow the legacy and relics you left behind to be buried in the dust of time."
After bowing, Mo Fan casually waved his hand, gently moving the black-robed skeleton aside. Then, with a flick of his palm, a dazzling sword of divine thought was once again formed.
"brush!"
The next instant, the sword light surged, and the supreme sword power tore through the void, slashing down towards the ancient magic array.
boom--!!
With a loud bang, the magic array shattered, instantly breaking into countless points of light that vanished into nothingness.
The moment the magic array shattered, the entire world twisted and turned into a huge vortex, generating a terrifying suction force that directly pulled Mo Fan's divine consciousness into it.
When the surrounding space returned to calm, Mo Fan slowly opened his eyes, and the scene before him made him momentarily stunned.
What you see is a secluded paradise filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, teeming with life.
Everywhere, there were exotic flowers and rare herbs never seen before, exuding a refreshing fragrance; not far away, a huge lake rippled with clear blue water; in the center of the lake, a towering sycamore tree rose from the ground, its branches and leaves flourishing, and dozens of beautiful ice phoenixes perched on the tree, their postures elegant and their songs melodious.
"So beautiful... Where is this..."
Mo Fan looked at everything in front of him, somewhat bewildered, almost thinking that he had stumbled into another paradise-like world.
"This is Ice Phoenix Valley, the former home of my Ice Witch lineage."
Suddenly, a gentle and melodious voice rang in Mo Fan's ears, ethereal and seemingly omnipresent.
Mo Fan's pupils constricted sharply, and his power surged forth instantly, surrounded by the glow of laws. He cautiously looked around, but found no one. "You...who are you?!"
"I am the owner of this entire world, and also the owner of that bone fragment. Countless ages ago, I was also a member of this Ice Phoenix Valley. As for my name, it is no longer important..."
The voice reappeared, sounding somewhat ethereal, making it impossible for Mo Fan to pinpoint its exact location.
The owner of the bone fragments?
Upon hearing this, Mo Fan frowned slightly, and a guess immediately formed in his mind. He asked, "Are you the black-robed skeleton from that magic array just now?"
"To be precise, that black-robed skeleton was nothing more than my long-decayed corpse."
boom!
These words struck Mo Fan like a thunderbolt.
His pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints, his face filled with disbelief and horror, and he asked in a trembling voice, "You...you're still alive?!"
"Alive?" The voice carried a hint of self-mocking desolation. "No, I have long since perished. The one speaking to you now is merely a wisp of remnant spirit remaining within the essence of my bone fragments."
Just a regret?
Mo Fan's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and he secretly wiped away a cold sweat.
He was genuinely panicked just now.
This is an ancient shaman from countless ages ago. If he were truly alive today, his cultivation would probably be unfathomable. It's uncertain whether I could escape unscathed.
For a fleeting moment, he almost concluded that the Ice Phoenix Bone Fragment was a meticulously planned trap.
However, it seems that this is not the case now.
"Since you have already perished, why leave behind this lingering resentment?" Mo Fan was not completely at ease, and his tone still carried a hint of probing.
"Because of resentment..."
The ethereal voice suddenly changed, all gentleness vanished, replaced by a bone-chilling resentment and rage, as if the anger that had been suppressed for millennia was now bursting forth: "Back then, I devoted my entire life to comprehending the Extreme Cold Array, finally breaking through the shackles and stepping into the realm of the Great Sage!"
But just when my clan was at its peak and my path was clear, that guy suddenly attacked.
He slaughtered everyone in my Ice Phoenix Valley and wiped out my Ice Witch lineage!
How can you expect me to accept this?!
"So before I died, I cut off my own skull and imprinted all my life's insights, my life's legacy, and the extremely cold array that I had painstakingly comprehended into it."
I left this lingering regret so that I might wait for a destined person, a successor who can inherit my mantle and avenge me!
The moment the words fell, all the exotic flowers, rare herbs, lakes, and phoenix trees in the secret realm transformed into specks of starlight, gathering before Mo Fan like fireflies.
As the light shimmered, a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in a black robe slowly appeared.
Her eyebrows were like distant mountains shrouded in mist, her eyes like twinkling cold stars, and she was surrounded by a faint halo of ice crystals, yet there was an unyielding sorrow hidden between her brows.
She looked up at Mo Fan, her eyes filled with eager expectation and almost pleading tenderness: "Junior, are you willing to accept all my inheritance and promise to avenge me?"
"I……"
Mo Fan had barely uttered a single word when his pupils suddenly contracted, and a chill surged in his eyes!
Almost instinctively, his divine body instantly transformed into a raging golden flame, its blazing inferno carrying the power to burn mountains and boil seas, directly engulfing the black-robed woman before him!
"what--!!"
A piercing scream suddenly echoed throughout the secret realm. The black-robed woman's beautiful face twisted instantly, filled with incredulous rage: "You brat, how dare you! I kindly bestowed my inheritance upon you, helping you ascend to the heavens in one step, why do you turn around and harm me?!"
With a furious roar, her body transformed into a terrifying, pitch-black energy, launching a frenzied counterattack. At the same time, it clung to Mo Fan's divine sense like a leech, attempting to break out of this bone fragment world through the connection between their divine senses and invade Mo Fan's sea of consciousness.
"You flatter me, senior."
Mo Fan sneered repeatedly, his divine sense fire burning ever brighter, the law of fire operating at full power, the golden flames almost burning through the entire space, "What you comprehended is the Extreme Cold Array, the core of which is the law of ice."
How could you so easily entrust such an important inheritance to a cultivator who has never comprehended the Laws of Ice?
Just then, deep within Mo Fan's sea of consciousness, Grandpa Qian suddenly unleashed a dazzling golden light, surging out like a tidal wave and crashing into the dark energy that was trying to invade Mo Fan's sea of consciousness!
"Oh!"
With a loud bang, the energy was violently shaken back into the bone fragment world by the golden light, dissipating and weakening instantly.
"This aura..."
The energy ball formed from the woman in black robes trembled violently, her voice filled with shock, anger, and deep fear: "No... how could it be you!!"
"How did you get here!?"
"No--!!"
The shrill screams rose and fell, and the remnant soul of the ice phoenix went completely mad.
"Stop acting."
Mo Fan's voice was icy cold, "The so-called inheritance is nothing but bait. Your real purpose is to be reborn through my body, isn't it?"
"Unfortunately, you chose the wrong person!"
Mo Fan snorted coldly, ignoring the remnant soul's roars, and channeled all the power of the laws within his body into the fire of his divine sense.
The golden flames instantly surged several times over, like a net that enveloped the dissipated energy cluster, beginning to burn and eliminate the remnants of soul power within it inch by inch.
"Why... how could I meet you again after countless ages have passed!?"
