In the very depths of the frozen lake, Wang Xue was able to see a black object that released very thick and heavy spirit energy, it was completely different from the Autumn Iceroots and the 100-years-old Jade Lotus that possess pure spirit energy.

"It's a Dark Demonic Ice, Fenrir seems like our unlucky days is over and the next breakthrough is already upon us." Wang Xue laughed as he looks at the Dark Demonic Ice from above the frozen surface of the frozen lake.

"I—know---what---that---is---but----that---heavy---miasma---like---spirit---energy---may---be---too---much---for---you---to---handle----at---the---moment," Fenrir uttered slowly with concern.

Wang Xue turn to Fenrir and shook his head, "It's fine, it will only affect me for a while when I ingest it but it won't actually damage my meridians or internal organs, the Golden Pagoda can purify the spirit energy for me and even if I suffer some injuries because of it I can heal myself with the help of the Fiery ice Flower inside my body so I'll be fine don't worry."

Before it becomes a Dark Demonic Ice the name it possesses is different, White Glacier however after a long time of being tempered by snow and yin energy and some other circumstances the White Glacier will become smaller and become a smaller version of its former self until it turns into a completely different color of black.

Dark Demonic Ice a rare type of ice that possesses large amounts of spirit energy, a Dark Demonic Ice only forms once every 10,000 years. Filled with dense dark spirit energy the Dark Demonic Ice was a rare commodity even for the people of a realm higher than the Crimson Wind Continent,

"If—that's—the—case—then---let's---hurry---up."

"That's the problem, this lake must have been frozen even before the Dark Demonic Ice was formed and even before the Ancient Glacier reach 5000 years, getting this thing is easier said than done." Wang Xue said.

Wang Xue took out his Ice Steel Sword and raised it over his head, gathering the spirit energy inside his body and into the sword, Wang Xue suddenly released a loud shout and a big explosion followed.

Bang!!

The smoke cleared slowly as the wind carried it with it and Wang Xue stood there on his original position looking at the place where he made the slash only to find that no kind of damage was done not even a scratch was left on its surface.

"This is going to be tough, even a blast from my spirit energy can't even leave a scratch on this thing, if we want to leave a mark on this thing then we better use some other methods." Seeing how the frozen lake suffered no kind of damage Wang Xue suddenly felt more motivated in destroying the whole thing.

"I can't use Lonely Moon because of its positioning and I can't use Five Slashes of the Demon either." Pausing for a while Wang Xue raised his head and look up to Fenrir before saying, "Help me with this one as well, can you do it?"

Fenrir looks at Wang Xue and already knew what he wanted to do and even though he wanted to refuse Fenris knew that he had to do this or else they won't be able to obtain the Dark Demonic Ice that they want.

Before he agreed Fenrir said, "But—you--can't—absorb—it—all—save—some—for—me—later." With that said, Fenrir went waited for Wang Xue to make his move.

Wang Xue showed a helpless smile, "I'll do my best not to absorb it all then."

With that said Wang Xue raised his sword high up in the air like before but unlike what happened earlier Wang Xue didn't focus his spirit energy on his sword but he called upon to Fenrir who stayed on his shoulder as if it was resting.

Fenrir's almost transparent body glowed with blue light Wang Xue's black sword once again turned blue with white lines and the insignia once again appeared.

Holding his sword in a vertical position the two layers of Wang Xue inside his Qi Sea was immediately drained, he was giving Fenrir everything needed and how much his Ice Steel Sword can actually take. Wang Xue continuously gave spirit energy to Fenrir until he heard Fenrir said it was enough.

Wang Xue's eyes widened and his veins all started to come out as Wang Xue slashes down with great power. The air was being torn by his sword, with a flash of blue light Wang Xue's sword once again met with the frozen lake.

"First form of the Wolf, second stance Mountain Cleaver!"

Bang!!

The ground shook and trembled from the powerful impact, the Ice shards flew everywhere and steam was constantly released from everywhere, standing in the middle of the frozen lake Wang Xue felt his ground cave in and his footing was now loose however when everything cleared up he found that the amount that he just release was not enough to completely destroy the whole frozen lake.

"What the hell!? It still wasn't enough to destroy it?" Wang Xue grumbled as he looked on at the damaged area of the frozen lake. That attack of his just now carried two whole layers of his Golden Pagoda but it would seem that it still wasn't enough and that is not to account that his physical strength went up once again after creating another layer.

"That was two whole floors and I can tell that strike of mine just now held 60,000 pounds of force and if that is still not enough then this may be a problem." Wang Xue stood there and as time passed he suddenly jumped backward and stood on top of a branch of a white tree.

Wang Xue looked downwards and saw the surface of the frozen lake beginning to be repaired, looking at the rapid phase of how fast it made the ice form and cover the damaged area even Wang Xue was having a problem thinking of a way to break the ice.

Sitting on top of the tree branch Fenrir suddenly appeared on top of his head. Fenrir did not say anything to him and just floated there as he started to recover the amount of spirit energy that had just used up.

As Fenrir recovered Wang Xue was put into a deep contemplation in order to think of a way to break passed that sheet of ice.

"Mountain Cleaver didn't work and for now I still can't use any other form of the wolf and I can only use the first form up to the second stance, I need another layer to actually use the third stance." Wang Xue was put on the spot, he wasn't in any position where he can just laze around until the answer came in his head time was valuable especially when entering independent space such as this one.

The Serpent's Realm only appears after a period of time and disappears after a certain amount of time that it had appeared, from the information that he had gotten before entering when the Serpent's Realm first appeared it only stayed stable for 1 whole day before it suddenly closed up once again.

From what Wang Xue could tell the amount of time he had spent was half a day and he was running out of time, Wang Xue's goal for entering here was not to gather resources but to find the spirit that was hidden inside this place.

Sitting in a cross-legged position Wang Xue absorbed the spirit energy on his surroundings in order to replenish the amount that he had lost, as he closes his eyes Wang Xue continued thinking of ways on how to break that ice.

Time passed, Wang Xue opened his eyes, the amount of spirit energy inside Wang Xue had been fully replenished and Fenrir had also woken up at the same time.

Fenrir went to his shoulder and look at him before asking, "What—now—Xue---do—you—have—a—plan—on—how—to---deal—with—this?"

The Mountain Cleaver failed and from Fenrir's own memories Wang Xue didn't have many things he can use in order to break the ice at his current level of strength and get that Dark Demonic Ice.

"Don't worry about it." Hearing Fenrir's question Wang Xue was still unexpectedly calm and his face even showed an excited smile of anticipation, "I already have the right thing in order to break this thing by now."

With that said Wang Xue confidently puffed up his chest before exhaling air, "If this thing doesn't work, I'll use what remain of the Autumn Iceroots and the Fiery Ice Flower so we can use the third stance."

Wang Xue was desperate to break the frozen lake.

Placing both of his palms to face each other Wang Xue gathered a large amount of spirit energy from his Golden Pagoda then to his palms, and ever so slowly that power from the Golden Pagoda begun to manifest and showed itself in the middle of both of Wang Xue's palms.

Spirit energy gathered at one point and formed a strange symbol that looks like a strange character which suddenly appeared and gently floated in the air.

That strange character suddenly changed form and became a blue in color, the spiritual pillar stood straight and continued to glow with resplendent light. After the first spiritual pillar was made another was made, this cycle was repeated continuously until the fifteenth spiritual pillar was finally done.

Closing his eyes Wang Xue recited the formation inside his mind, "Three points in the east, three at the west, five at the north and four at the south, meeting at the middle to create the beast."

The corresponding spiritual pillars went to their points, as they stood in their position different patterns appeared and different diagrams were formed in the air.

Roar!!!

A tiger's roar echoed around the whole place.
