The spiritual pillar gently floated up the air whilst shining with incomparable luster, the pure spirit energy of Wang Xue's Golden Pagoda was showed in full display of its capabilities.

Roaar!

The spiritual pillars rose up the air the roar of a tiger echoed around his surrounding, a diagram was formed and a spirit formation made out of interconnected lines of spirit energy, it became a formation and gust of wind started picking up.

Shing!

The spiritual pillars which hang over his head plunged in the air and half of the spiritual pillar's base disappeared to some other place different from this one. 15 spiritual pillars seemed to have been push inside some kind of hole, it made the spiritual pillars look like some kind of key holes.

The spiritual pillars became some kind of key and the spirit formation shone with magnificent luster. Wang Xue's eyes looked at spirit formation that he had created and sense the spirit energy gathering from all direction of the world.

"Come out and devour the ice that obstruct my path!" Wang Xue was full smile as he gaze upon the body of a misty blue tiger slowly emerging from that spirit formation.

A tiger possessing a mist body of mist emerge from the middle of the spirit formation. A fierce and violent wind appeared from all eight directions forcing the trees to sway all over the place.

Stepping out, the Blue Mist Tiger was formed from the wind, an earth shaking roar sounded out as the tiger rose up the air and collected wind from all eight directions of the world.. a horn like spear formed on the tiger's forehead.

Runes run down all over its body, starting from its eyes blue lights shone and slowly vanished leaving only strange runes that stretch to its hind legs where wind were gathering. The Blue Mist Tiger used the wind like a stepping stone and rush up the air.

Swoosh!

A blue streak was formed when a powerful force coming from the wind pressured down from above, moving is great speed the Blue Mist Tiger looked like a blue comet descending from above where the heavenly body lies

The trees swayed and danced with the howl of the wind as it started to be sucked by the Blue Mist Tigers spear like horn, an ominous and dangerous gleam was about to dig through the earth.

Boom!!

The Blue Mist Tiger's horn met with the frozen lake and the land shook and trembled with great intensity, ice shards flew in the air but never met with the ground nor did it met with its surroundings it just rose up the air and circled over the Blue Mist Tiger like some kind of typhoon.

Wang Xue closed his eyes and concentrated his thoughts in an attempt of controlling the Blue Mist Tiger. Wang Xue's eyes slowly opened, his pair of dark colored eyes reflected the Blue Mist Tiger trying to break through the frozen lake.

Shh!

The body of the Blue Mist Tiger was released a large amount of wind as its body wavered as if it was dissipating, the frozen surface of the lake was almost broken through and the Dark Demonic Ice was about to fall on Wang Xue's hands but the Blue Mist Tiger's wind was not enough to break through.

Shing!

The Ice Steel Sword was taken out of the storage bracelet and Fenrir quickly went inside the Ice Steel Sword transforming the original image it holds from black to a blue and white colored sword.

With eyes devoid of any worries and hesitation Wang Xue jumped from the tree branch of the white tree. His spirit energy circulated inside his meridians with great speed, he pointed his sword towards the Blue Mist Tiger and path made of wind was created.

"Roar!" The Blue Mist tiger Roared as its body quickly vanish in the wind and Wang Xue descend from above carrying with him a large and intense amount of spirit energy only focused on charging through the frozen sheet of the frozen lake and getting the Dark Demonic Ice.

"Break!!" Wang Xue focused his spirit energy into one single point, a path made of wind that leads to the damaged ice sheet was created. Surrounding by wind Wang Xue reached the frozen lake before the ice can recover.

Bang!!

Wang Xue stabbed his sword on the ground resulting for cracks to appear. His sword vibrated at high speeds breaking the ice that covered the Dark Demonic Ice.

A cold and dark spirit energy was released to the sky creating a thin line of black colored spirit energy that stretch upwards. A black colored beacon shot upwards getting many attentions from the many cultivators who had yet to exit to this place.

"Meow!?" The little white cat turn around to look at the black light made of spirit energy and seeing Wang Xue and Fenrir taking it for themselves the white cat was pleased.

A dark and violent spirit energy rushed Wang Xue when his left hand approached the Dark Demonic Ice, Wang Xue experienced sharp pains but he didn't retract his left arm and push forward in order to claim it whilst gritting his teeth just so he can endure the pain.

"Got it!" Wang Xue was elated when his left hand touched the Dark Demonic Ice, the beacon of spirit energy was cancelled out the cultivator who were all heading towards his direction increased their speed in fear of someone already getting the treasure.

Wang Xue hurriedly took the Dark Demonic Ice and was about to leave, however, when he tried to place it inside his storage bracelet a violent and aggressive spirit energy stop his from doing so, the Dark Demonic Ice floated fought Wang Xue to get away from his clutches but Wang Xue responded by tightening his grip.

Time was running out and Wang Xue knew that he had to leave that place before the people who saw the light get there. No one will be able to resist the temptation of a treasure able to create such wondrous phenomenon like that black beacon made of pure spirit energy.

Struggling, Wang Xue refused to let go of the Dark Demonic Ice even though his hands were already starting to hurt.

Wang Xue would have longed been turned to an ice sculpture just like the trees around him if it weren't for his spirit energy protecting him, "I won't be able to last long if this goes on!"

When Wang Xue's Golden Pagoda was about to run out of spirit energy, by the large amount of spirit energy that he was using Wang Xue finally started feeling death coming to find him.

Feeling that death was upon him Wang Xue frantically started searching for answer on how to avoid that end.

Wang Xue wanted to absorb the remaining Fiery Ice Flower but thinking how little remains and how little it will help his right now Wang Xue chose to absorb the violent and raging spirit energy coming from the Dark Demonic Ice.

"This little piece of sh*t, I need to get out of here fast so calm down already!" Wang Xue held the Dark Demonic Ice using both hands and attempted to absorb the Dark Demonic Ice little by little but the moment he absorbed a little bit of it a huge surge of spirit energy unexpectedly entered his body which immediately filled the first-layer of his Golden Pagoda to the brim.

Seeing how much his Golden Pagoda had been filled to such extent in a short amount of time Wang Xue wanted to stop his absorption of spirit energy, but when he absorb the spirit energy from the Dark Demonic Ice earlier the lid to his body and meridians was opened and it was being forcefully kept open by the Dark Demonic Ice's violent spirit energy.

The Dark Demonic Ice run wild and the spirit energy it contained was just as wild and energetic as it was.

Shhhh!

The Golden Pagoda continuously purified the spirit energy entering his body and after two minutes the newly formed third layer had already been filled like the two first layers, even so the Dark Demonic Ice was still giving Wang Xue spirit energy.

If Wang Xue don't do anything with the excessive amount of spirit energy being pumped in him there is a high chance of him imploding and die the moment his body became overburdened.

"Me a past peak cultivator is actually having problem with a Peak-Human Category treasure? I took this Dark Demonic Ice in order to break through the next realm and that's not going to change." Wang Xue sat in a cross-legged position and started cultivating all of a sudden without even bothering to set up the Shroud spirit formation.

The Golden Pagoda Skill that Wang Xue is cultivating was given to him by the Dragon Dwelling Pagoda Martial Spirit. Using this skill Wang Xue only had to create the next layer in order to reach the next level of his cultivation the only catch was that he would need a very large amount of spirit energy when doing so.

However, with the Dark Demonic Ice with him Wang Xue won't have to worry about not having enough spirit energy, and the only thing he needs to do was to make sure his meridians hold up while the violent spirit energy enters his body while he proceeds on creating the next layer.

"Come!" Wang Xue didn't even attempt to place any blockage on the path of the violent spirit energy coming from the Dark Demonic Ice, he welcomed all of it and directed it to the Golden Pagoda to be purified.

The fourth layer of the Golden Pagoda was still nowhere to be seen and he had yet to touch the barrier of the next level. Wang Xue didn't stop the absorption of the spirit energy and after a short while a surge of spirit energy came flooding inside his meridians.

The sudden flood of spirit energy hurt his body and internal organs and in order to make the pain go away Wang Xue had to use half of what remains of the Fiery Ice Flower and in order to repair the broken and damage area he had to completely absorb the rest of the spirit energy that it contains.

"This is my last chance.. there it is!" reaching peak level 3 of the Jade Palace realm Wang Xue rush his cultivation and immediately started the construction of the next layer of the Golden Pagoda.

A golden glow appeared from inside his body as he started to construct the next layer and as he started to break the barrier of the next level.

The golden glow was blinding however a black colored smoke was tarnishing the glow and made it look like the golden glow was being dirtied by it, the Dark Demonic Ice was starting to get to his body and even his cultivation.

He had broken through the next level earlier and he had rushed up the next in order to survive but it seems like Wang Xue's mighty Golden Pagoda Skill is not able to keep up with the sudden rush of violent and relentless dark spirit energy.

From the fourth layer of the Golden Pagoda Wang Xue felt like he wanted to rip his skin from inside out after feeling the sharp pain his body was experiencing. Blood streaked out of his mouth as Wang Xue bit off a part of his lips skin.

"Arrgh!!" even with Wang Xue's state of mind where he can laughed at being tortured could not help but scream in pain when his innards was ravaged by the impurities, 'Am I going to die again?'

Wag Xue thought as he felt his body being torn to bits.. "No!!"

Wang Xue screamed inside his mind the moment the thought of death even passed his mind, had already made the decision to live on, he would need to find a way to escape this predicament no matter what.

Then, as he was bathe in pain like he was being slowly cooked from inside out Wang Xue heard an archaic voice from deep inside his mind, "Live and passed this point and you shall gain power, your body is nothing but a weapon that will be hammered.. take out the impurities and become a sword that will cut the universe in two and burn the heavens asunder."

Wang Xue heard that voice and remembered the Dragon Dwelling Pagoda from inside his Spirit Lake, however, before he could even start thinking of what that meant a large number of people appeared from all directions surrounding him from all sides leaving no path for him to escape.

Then, a voice rang out.

"Brat, give me the treasure that showed up here and I will not kill you, do not try to lie about it or else you will die a horrible death!!" an arrogant voice rang out.

"Shut it, I got here first from all of you so get out of my way you brat better give it to me!!"

People started to call out to Wang Xue who sat in the middle of the frozen lake.

"Stop yapping all the goddamn time! I'll just take it for myself!" a level 5 Jade Palace realm cultivator pounce at Wang Xue with his eyes filled with greed, "Give it to me you fucking brat don't even tr..."

The man who jumped forward first could not end his sentence before his body was separated in two.

"You guys better have the strength to pressure me! Or your death will become meaningless." Wang Xue landed on the ground holding his sword, no one knew when he got up and went for the kill but seeing those black eyes and his body exuding sharp and ominous aura.

Wang Xue's bloodlust froze everyone... even the little white cat who had looked at him with disdain earlier was looking at Wang Xue with a surprise look.
