Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 1874 - 1856: Ancient Ice Louse

"If you wanted to come, you would naturally come. I’m also very curious about you. To survive in such an extremely cold environment and even reach the Demon Immortal Realm Peak, you’re not far from the Demon Venerable Realm. What do you rely on to survive here?" Fang Yan replied simply, as if nothing had happened. Like the Ice Armored Cold Emperor Scorpion, he was very interested in the other party.

"Hehe, little guy, you surprised me. I didn’t expect you could see my level. I just said it, anyone with Heaven Flipping Realm strength reaching here couldn’t be a simple person. As for me, I was born here and have long adapted to everything here; the Cold Qi of this world is my food." The Ice Armored Cold Emperor Scorpion replied with a smile, looking at Fang Yan with a very peculiar expression in his eyes, a bit of admiration in his amazement, along with a special kind of pressure, a very complex state.

Fang Yan nodded at the other’s words. He was very interested in this Demon Beast as well. It was clear the other party held no hostility, so he asked, "Can you tell me how big this place really is? Besides you, what other Demon Beasts are there, or any special places? I’m here for training."

Upon hearing Fang Yan’s question, the Ice Armored Cold Emperor Scorpion laughed immediately, and said to Fang Yan, "Interesting, you even want to meet other Demon Beasts and know the special places here? Do you know why I haven’t attacked you? You must realize human cultivators have significant attraction to us Demon Beasts living in the Ice Abyss. Eating you could greatly boost our power, yet under such circumstances, you still want to seek death. I really don’t know what you’re thinking."

But despite these words, the Ice Armored Cold Emperor Scorpion still showed no murderous intent, as if speaking to an old friend.

This situation truly puzzled Fang Yan, for this shouldn’t normally happen. But since the other showed no intent to kill, Fang Yan wasn’t thinking of attacking either, and smiled, "Why don’t you attack me? I know there must be a reason."

"Little guy, I sense danger on you. Although I don’t understand why a Heaven Flipping Realm youngster gives me such a sense of danger, something I didn’t feel even facing Human Immortal Realm Peak cultivators, I trust my feeling isn’t wrong. Otherwise, I couldn’t have survived until now." The Ice Armored Cold Emperor Scorpion continued to smile. He had this feeling when he first saw Fang Yan, and now that the words were out, there was no need to hide anything.

"I must say, your sense is quite accurate. I can indeed kill you." Fang Yan gave a knowing smile upon hearing this and then continued, "Since that’s the case, can you answer my previous questions?"

"I don’t know how big the third layer of the Ice Abyss is. Countless years ago, I roamed here once, but even after a year, I didn’t explore it all. Later, I met a formidable Demon Beast and was seriously injured, so I fled back here and never went out again."

"Regarding the special places you mentioned, I have indeed seen two or three, but with my strength, I could hardly explore them, and it’s been countless years. I can’t remember exactly where they are. If you really want to explore, continue in that direction; perhaps you’ll encounter other Demon Beasts or special places. That’s all I can help with." The Ice Armored Cold Emperor Scorpion explained promptly to Fang Yan, indeed sharing all he knew. If Fang Yan wanted to risk death, it wasn’t his concern.

Seeing the direction indicated by the Ice Armored Cold Emperor Scorpion, Fang Yan smiled, gave a salute, and said, "Thank you for guiding me. Our meeting is fate, and I gift you this Elixir."

After tossing an Elixir to the Ice Armored Cold Emperor Scorpion, Fang Yan instantly vanished, like a white light, continuing his journey.

Watching Fang Yan disappear, the Ice Armored Cold Emperor Scorpion studied the Elixir in his hand, pondering whether or not to take it. But after thinking it over, he realized Fang Yan had no intention of harming him, so he decided to ingest the Elixir.

Unexpectedly, upon ingestion, a warmth immediately spread through his body, bringing immense comfort, as his Demon Energy became highly active. Faced with such changes, he was utterly stunned, fully aware of the implications: he was about to breakthrough to the Demon Venerable Realm. He couldn’t believe that a single Elixir from Fang Yan could have such an effect!

Without time to question Fang Yan about the Elixir, he quickly calmed himself, fully activating his Demon Energy to resolve the medicinal power. As time passed, he was deeply shocked by this extraordinary Elixir, which could assist his Demon Energy in breaking through the bottleneck, something he never dreamed of. Faced with such a great opportunity, he couldn’t let it pass, so he focused entirely on breaking through the Demon Venerable Realm bottleneck with all his might!

Four two hours later...

"Boom!"

The Ice Armored Cold Emperor Scorpion suddenly exploded, unleashing an earth-shaking storm which swiftly engulfed the surrounding tens of miles. Wherever it passed, everything was destroyed, and countless Ice Crystals were shattered into ice powder within an instant. Even the Cold Qi that seemed like mist on the ground was blown away completely in that moment!

At the storm’s center, the Ice Armored Cold Emperor Scorpion’s body transformed into another shape. Its massive body had shrunk considerably, but its color had deepened, while layers of faint blue Demon Energy surrounded it, making the Ice Armored Cold Emperor Scorpion appear more imposing than before!

Indeed, it had broken through. The Ice Armored Cold Emperor Scorpion had reached the Demon Venerable Realm!

Observing its own transformation, the Ice Armored Cold Emperor Scorpion was genuinely at a loss for words. It never expected that after countless years of waiting, breaking through would happen now, and with the help of a human at that. The result left it truly speechless.

Transforming back into a human form with a small movement, the Ice Armored Cold Emperor Scorpion decided to find Fang Yan. This human had bestowed this great Creation upon him, and he wished to properly thank him. Without this human, he would not have broken through to the Demon Venerable Realm...

As the Ice Armored Cold Emperor Scorpion was breaking through, Fang Yan had already appeared outside an ice cave several hundred miles away, encountering another rather special Demon Beast. Its entire body was composed of blue crystals, and if not for the Demon Energy it emitted, anyone seeing this Demon Beast at first glance would have thought it wasn’t a Demon Beast at all, but an Ice Crystal. Even Fang Yan was nearly ambushed, and if the creature hadn’t used its Demon Energy at the last moment, Fang Yan might have fallen into its trap unawares.

This situation also left Fang Yan quite frustrated. After a brief thought, he pointed and shot several strands of Gang Qi into the empty areas nearby, finally revealing the creature’s form. Upon its appearance, Fang Yan could see its true form clearly.

The creature had four gigantic legs resembling ice pillars, and its entire body appeared like a giant oval plate, quietly positioned atop the cave’s entrance. Its head bore two eyes emitting white light, staring intently at Fang Yan. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Cultivator, you’re quite good, able to dodge my attack." The strange Demon Beast said, its tone filled with surprise.

"Is that difficult? What kind of Demon Beast are you, and why do you look so strange?" Fang Yan asked curiously, intrigued by the creature, wanting to know its species. There were no records of such a beast in his previous knowledge.

"I am called the Ancient Ice Louse, and I’ve existed since the Ancient Era. As for why I’m still alive, I do not know." The Ancient Ice Louse replied calmly as its glowing eyes scanned Fang Yan. It had previously encountered several human cultivators, yet none as young as Fang Yan had ever reached here, piquing its curiosity about how Fang Yan, at the Heaven Flipping Realm, managed to arrive.

Often, strange occurrences indicate something extraordinary!

The Ancient Ice Louse arrived at the conclusion that Fang Yan was not here by luck but by strength. However, it wished to know what sort of strength Fang Yan relied on to get here. Typically, a Heaven Flipping Realm youth would be frozen into an ice block the moment they entered this layer, as the Extreme Cold Ice Qi here is not something just anyone can withstand, not even Human Immortal Realm cultivators without substantial power!

Yet Fang Yan showed no signs of pressure, indicating he had a method to handle the Extreme Cold Ice Qi, whether through a unique Cultivation Technique, Elixir, or a Dharma Treasure capable of avoiding the Cold Qi; otherwise, he couldn’t possibly ignore the Extreme Cold Ice Qi.

"Ancient Ice Louse?" Fang Yan looked at this unique Demon Beast before him, coincidentally noticing its resemblance to an enlarged louse, suddenly feeling curious. The Demon Beasts in this Ice Abyss all seemed to be insect-like, like the Ice Demon Spider on the first layer. He wasn’t sure about the second, and now on this layer, he first met the Ice Armored Cold Emperor Scorpion, and now the Ancient Ice Louse. Could it be that the ice-type Demon Beasts in the Ice Abyss are all insects?

With this thought, Fang Yan decided to question directly, "Do you know what other types of Demon Beasts exist on this layer? Are they all insect-like like you?"
