Chapter 431 Entering the Cultivation World 22

As this powerful pressure descended, a majestic voice sounded in the air: "Lei Kui, you dared to leave the Leilin Sea without permission, do you know your crime!"

Lei Kui's face turned pale in an instant and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Chao Yao and Wen Fufeng were also shocked by this sudden change and looked solemn.

Faced with such powerful pressure and an unknown situation, they knew that they were like ants in front of this absolute power and had to stay calm in order to cope with the storm that might come.

I saw a huge figure slowly emerging in the air. He wore a golden dragon crown on his head, a gorgeous robe embroidered with the sun, moon and stars, and a jade belt inlaid with gems around his waist. He had an upright posture and looked extremely majestic.

His face was resolute and his eyes were as bright as stars, revealing endless depth and wisdom.

His thick beard fluttering in the wind added a touch of majesty.

He is the ruler of the Leilin Sea - Thunder Emperor.

Thunder King stared at Lei Kui with a sharp gaze, and his voice rang out like a bell: "Lei Kui, as the guardian beast of the Leilin Sea, you dared to violate the ban and leave without permission. Where do you put the rules of the Leilin Sea?"

Without waiting for Lei Kui to respond, Emperor Lei shouted angrily: "Lei Kui, you have committed such a serious mistake, you should be punished by ice prison!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the temperature around him dropped suddenly, and countless sharp ice spikes appeared out of thin air around Lei Kui, making the cold air overwhelming.

Seeing this, Chao Yao made up his mind, stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Lord Thunder Emperor, Lei Kui made a mistake because of us, if you want to punish me, punish me!"

Thunder Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, examined Chao Yao, and said: "You, my little girl, do have some sense of loyalty. But Lei Kui's crime cannot be forgiven lightly."

Chao Yao said firmly: "Lord Thunder Emperor, if you insist on punishing Lei Kui, I am willing to bear double the punishment on his behalf."

Thunder King was silent for a moment, then said: "Okay, since you are so determined, then I will grant your wish. But if you can't bear it, Lei Kui will still be punished."

Just as Chao Yao was about to enter the Ice Prison, Wen Fufeng took a step ahead and stood in front of her, saying, "Lord Thunder Emperor, Miss Chao Yao is too frail to endure the punishment of the Ice Prison. Let me take her place!"

Thunder King snorted coldly: "Humph! You two are so ignorant of your own limitations. Since you are so willing to take the punishment for each other, I will grant your wish. Go in now!"

Wen Fufeng and Chao Yao looked at each other with determined eyes, and walked into the ice prison together without hesitation.

In an instant, their faces turned blue and purple, and their bodies trembled continuously, but they clenched their teeth and said nothing.

The chill in the ice prison continued to erode their bodies and wills, but they still supported each other and tried hard to persevere.

The chill in the ice prison continued to erode their bodies and wills, but they still supported each other and tried hard to persevere.

Wen Fufeng felt his consciousness gradually becoming blurred. He knew that if this continued, they might not be able to hold on for much longer.

At this critical moment of life and death, he decided not to hide his feelings anymore.

He turned his head with difficulty, looking at Chaoyao who was also in great pain beside him, and said with all his strength: "Yaoyao, in fact, I have always liked you. I wanted to find a better time to tell you, but I never thought it would be in this icy prison. But at this moment, I don't want to hide it anymore."

When Chao Yao heard this, tears sparkled in his eyes and he said in a trembling voice: "Fufeng, so am I."

Hearing Chao Yao's response, Wen Fufeng felt a warm current in his heart, as if temporarily resisting the coldness of the ice prison.

They held each other's hands tightly, giving each other strength and warmth.

Outside the ice prison, Lei Kui was anxiously looking at the two people in the ice prison, holding the precious blood essence tightly in his hands.

Thunder Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, looking dignified, but a hint of imperceptible relief flashed in his eyes.

"These two are quite responsible. This emperor wants to punish you, and they are willing to atone for your sins."

When Lei Kui heard what Emperor Lei said, his tense body relaxed a little, and he said quickly, "Lord Emperor Lei, they are all people who value friendship and loyalty. I hope you can be lenient with them."

Thunder King glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "Humph, give them a lighter sentence? That depends on whether they can survive this ice prison punishment."

Lei Kui's expression tightened, and his gaze turned to Bingyu again. His hands clenched unconsciously, and he prayed silently in his heart that they would be safe.

"Sir, if they can pass this test, please show mercy to them." Lei Kui's voice was filled with a hint of urgency and pleading.

Thunder King was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "It depends on their luck."

Lei Kui was extremely anxious. He paced back and forth on the spot, muttering to himself: "I must hold on..."

In the ice prison, Chao Yao and Wen Fufeng's consciousness became increasingly blurred, and their bodies were almost frozen.

However, at the moment when they were about to lose consciousness, golden light suddenly overflowed from Chao Yao's soul.

That golden light was clearly the light of the Nine Suns Divine Tree. The light was relatively weak at first, but in an instant it became strong, like a golden sun blooming in the ice prison.

Wherever the golden light reached, the cold air in the ice prison began to dissipate rapidly.

Wen Fufeng and Chao Yao only felt a hot and powerful force pouring through their bodies, and their bodies, which were almost frozen, gradually regained consciousness.

Chao Yao felt this power in amazement and murmured to himself, "Is this the power of the Nine Suns Divine Tree?"

Wen Fufeng also widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief: "I didn't expect that at this critical moment of life and death, the Nine Suns Divine Tree could exert such power."

The golden light continued to spread, and the ice spikes in the ice prison began to melt, turning into wisps of water vapor that rose up.

The surrounding space seemed to be purified by this light, becoming warm and peaceful.

As the golden light continued to expand, miraculous changes began to occur in Wen Fufeng and Chao Yao's bodies.

Their skin glowed with golden light, powerful energy flowed through their meridians, and their body functions that had been damaged by the cold quickly recovered and even became stronger.

Chao Yao only felt that his soul had merged into one with the golden light, and the various mysteries of the Nine Yang Divine Tree kept emerging in his mind.

She seemed to see the growth process of the Nine Yang Divine Tree and felt the endless vitality and power it contained.

Wen Fufeng felt that his martial arts technique began to operate on its own under the influence of the golden light, constantly absorbing this powerful force, and his martial arts realm was instantly improved.

At this moment, the golden light suddenly gathered into a beam of light and shot straight into the sky.

Outside the Ice Prison, Lei Huang and Lei Kui were stunned by this sudden change.

Thunder Emperor frowned, thinking to himself: "This power is so strong, could it be the legendary Nine Suns Divine Tree?"

Lei Kui showed a look of joy and said excitedly: "Sir, it seems they are saved!"

The light beam lasted for a while and then gradually dissipated.

Under the protection of the golden light, Wen Fufeng and Chao Yao finally escaped the threat of the ice prison.

They smiled at each other, their eyes filled with joy of surviving the disaster and hope for the future.

Outside the Ice Prison, Thunder Emperor looked at the two people who walked out of the Ice Prison with a complicated expression.

He knew in his heart that after going through all this hardship, these two people would become great people in the future.

Thunder King nodded slightly and said, "You have passed the test by being able to unleash such a powerful force in the Ice Prison. I will not pursue your previous mistakes any more."

Chao Yao and Wen Fufeng quickly knelt down to express their gratitude: "Thank you, Lord Thunder Emperor, for your mercy."

"However, Lei Kui, this time you leave, the two of them will atone for your sins, but there will be no such opportunity in the future. You should know that you have a heavy responsibility and must not leave without reason!"

Lei Kui bowed his head respectfully and said, "Lei Kui will remember the teachings of Lord Lei Huang and will never dare to do it again."

Thunder Emperor waved his hand and said, "Everyone go down and have a good rest. I am leaving now."

After thanking Thunder Emperor, everyone returned to their courtyard together.

Lei Kui took out ten drops of Taotie's blood and handed them to Chao Yao.

"This is what I promised to give you. Please accept it. With the blood of Taotie, your space will become infinite."

Chao Yao took the blood of Taotie and said gratefully: "Lei Kui, this time it's all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have had this adventure."

Wen Fufeng also said, "Yes, Brother Lei Kui, if you need our help in the future, we will certainly do our best to help you."

Lei Kui smiled cheerfully: "There's no need for us to be so polite. After going through so much, we can be considered friends for life and death."

Chao Yao carefully collected the blood essence and said, "This blood essence is extremely precious. I must make good use of it to improve my strength."

Wen Fufeng said thoughtfully: "This trip to the Ice Prison has made me realize that I still have many shortcomings. I must practice harder in the future."

Lei Kui nodded: "That's right, this world is full of dangers. Only by becoming stronger can you protect yourself and the people around you."

Chao Yao looked at the two of them with a firm gaze: "Then let's work together and face the challenges of the future together!"

Wen Fufeng and Lei Kui responded in unison: "Okay!"

For a moment, the courtyard was filled with an atmosphere of determination and hope.

Since that day, Chao Yao, Wen Fufeng and Lei Kui settled down in the Leilin Sea.

Chao Yao fulfilled his promise. In addition to practicing hard every day, he also carefully prepared delicious meals for Lei Kui.

With her ingenuity and dexterity, she transformed the unique ingredients of the Leilin Sea into various dishes.

Every time Lei Kui tasted it, he praised it highly, and his satisfied expression made Chao Yao feel extremely gratified.

Wen Fufeng was also not slacking off. He was well aware of his own shortcomings in the Ice Prison, and he practiced without sleep or food.

He often sat on the rocks by the sea, breathing in the morning sun and absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

And Lei Kui, with the company of Chao Yao and Wen Fufeng, no longer felt lonely.

He shared with them the training secrets of his guardian beast, and the three of them learned from each other and made progress together.

As the days passed, Chao Yao's cooking skills became more and more sophisticated, Wen Fufeng's martial arts became more and more advanced, and Lei Kui's strength also reached a higher level.

On this day, Chao Yao was busy in the kitchen, while Wen Fufeng and Lei Kui were discussing their cultivation experiences in the courtyard.

Suddenly, Lei Kui sensed that someone was approaching the Leilin Sea area and was trying to force his way in.

Lei Kui's expression became stern, and he instantly released a powerful divine consciousness, heading towards the border of the Lei Lin Sea to explore.

After a moment, he frowned slightly, turned to Chao Yao and Wen Fufeng and said, "Come and take a look, this person has a strange aura, I don't know if he is a friend or an enemy."

Upon hearing this, Chao Yao and Wen Fufeng immediately stopped what they were doing, concentrated their minds, and extended their perception.

Instantly, she felt a strong and chaotic aura rushing towards her, which made her heart tighten: "It's Su Junze, how did he become like this? The elegant and refined Changming Immortal Lord before, but he practiced the ruthless way, why does he look so embarrassed now?"

Wen Fufeng's face suddenly turned gloomy, and his eyes were full of anger.

He clenched his fists tightly and said through gritted teeth: "Why is this Su Junze so haunting!"

Lei Kui looked at Wen Fufeng's angry expression and asked in confusion, "Who is this Su Junze? Why does he make you so angry?"

Chao Yao quickly explained what happened to him in the sect, and now Lei Kui also became a divine beast filled with righteous indignation.

Lei Kui snorted coldly: "Since this guy is so annoying, we must make a good plan to make him suffer a little and get out of here!"

A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Wen Fufeng's eyes: "In my opinion, we should attack him directly and catch him off guard before he can gain a firm foothold."

Chao Yao quickly shook his head: "Not right, he can force his way here, he must be well prepared. Let's observe his strength and purpose first, then make plans."

Lei Kui pondered for a moment and said, "What Chao Yao said makes sense. Let's hide our presence first and see what he wants to do. If he is just passing by, then let him go. If he has ill intentions, it won't be too late for us to take action later."

Although Wen Fufeng was unwilling, he also approved of this plan: "Okay, then, let's do as you say."

The three of them concealed their auras and quietly observed Su Junze's every move.

Su Junze was seen wandering at the edge of the Leilin Sea, seemingly looking for something.

Lei Kui whispered, "This guy is sneaky, he definitely has bad intentions."

Chao Yao frowned: "Looking at his appearance, it seems that he is coming for us."

Wen Fufeng clenched his fists: "Who cares? As long as he dares to make a move, we will attack him together."

Just when Su Junze tried to force his way into the Leilin Sea, he found that no matter how he used his magical powers, he was blocked by an invisible powerful force.

Lei Kui sneered, "Humph, this Leilin Sea is not a place that a scoundrel like him can enter at will."

"Huh? Outsiders can't come in without your permission?"

Chao Yao was stunned. They had gotten in very easily at the beginning.

Lei Kui explained, "That's because you two are carrying the golden light of merit, and I happened to be bored, so I let you in. This Leilin Sea has a powerful ban set by me. Without my permission, outsiders can't easily step in."

Su Junze tried many times but still couldn't get in, and anger gradually appeared on his face.

"Why is this damn place so hard to break into!" he muttered to himself.

At this moment, Su Junze's hair was disheveled, with a few strands of hair stuck to his forehead by sweat. His originally neat clothes had become tattered and covered with dust and blood.

His face was thin, with high cheekbones, and his eyes were bloodshot, revealing madness and paranoia.

His lips were cracked and there was a trace of blood at the corners of his mouth, as if he had just experienced a fierce battle.

Although the wounds on his body no longer bleed, the hideous scars are still shocking.

He held a long sword tightly in his hand. There were many notches on the blade, and the gem on the hilt had lost its former luster.

The whole person looked in a disheveled state, yet he had a desperate ruthlessness.
