The Third Heaven: Dragon Flame Ice Prison
The moment the two stepped out of the teleportation array, the Dragon lines on Ling Tian's right arm suddenly shimmered with frost. The scene before them was eerily suffocating—to their left was a glacial Great Wall formed from ten-thousand-year-old Profound Nether Ice, while to their right was a boiling lava waterfall. In the steaming mist at the junction of ice and fire, the outline of a coiled twin-headed Dragon Dragon vaguely appeared.
"Roar!!!" After a Dragon roar, the twin-headed Dragon Dragon's form slowly emerged from the mist.
A colossal creature with two Dragon heads stared intently at the two. Its ice head was covered in scales like Profound Nether heavy armor, and its dark blue vertical pupils held the killing intent of a ten-thousand-year-old cold abyss. Saliva dripping from its fangs froze into poisonous barbs in the Void Realm. Its flame head had dark red scales streaked with lava patterns, and its Dragon horns, wreathed in crimson flames, crackled with sparks. Each breath scorched boiling pits into the ground. At the junction of the two heads, ice and fire crystal clusters protruded from its spine, and when its Dragon tail swept, frost flames splattered, tearing space into fragments of an ice-fire purgatory.
"It's an Early Stage Nascent Soul Ice Flame Twin-Headed Dragon Dragon!" Ling Tian said after his investigation. Su Meier used a Qingqiu Secret Technique to pinpoint the location of its demon cores: "The ice head's demon core is hidden in its inverse scale, and the flame head's demon core is in its left eye!"
"Roar!!!"
The ice head suddenly raised its head and roared, and the entire glacier collapsed with a rumble. Tens of thousands of ice cones rained down like a downpour, each cone containing a Seal of Profound Nether True Water. Ling Tian activated "Burning Sea" to resist, but found his sea of fire was suppressed. The flame head seized the opportunity to spew sky-Burning fierce flames, and golden-red fire waves refracted into thousands of death rays on the ice surface.
"Whoosh!!!" A sharp and prolonged whistle sounded, its sound waves seemingly tearing through space. It was Ling Tian blowing the bone whistle in his hand! A visible sound wave, like a surging tide, swept forward with extreme speed, reaching the twin-headed Dragon Dragon in the blink of an eye.
The instantaneous impact of the sound wave caused the twin-headed Dragon Dragon's movements to freeze for a breath... Ling Tian threw out a Talisman that transformed into chains, wrapping around the flame head's left horn. His jade dragon sword, infused with Thunder Dragon Power, executed an Instant Prison Slash directly at the flame head's left eye. The moment the sword's edge touched the flame head, the Ice Flame Twin Heads suddenly swapped positions, and the Thunder Dragon was refracted by the Profound Nether Ice towards Su Meier!
"Meier! Get out of the way!" Hearing Ling Tian's shout, Su Meier instantly dodged with great speed, avoiding the refracted Thunder Dragon attack!
Suddenly, the lava waterfall inverted upwards, forming a crimson dome that enveloped the battlefield. The cold Qi spewed by the ice head condensed into Profound Iron chains in the magma, and the flame head's fierce flames scorched black Talisman patterns onto the ice surface. Ling Tian was alarmed to find his spiritual Qi circulation becoming chaotic—the Ice Flame Twin Heads were constructing an inverted Yin and Yang Great Array!
Su Meier's nine tails ignited with her innate fox fire, and the Qingqiu Seal appeared, as she forcefully analyzed the array's core: "Brother Ling Tian! The array core is in the spatial ripples when they swap positions!" Her fox fire condensed into hundreds of Profound Nether Ice spikes that shot into the Void Realm, but they were melted by the fire head's breath before they could reach the array core!
The Profound Nether cold Qi spewed by the ice head froze the entire space into a pale cage. The Flame Dragon flames on Ling Tian's right arm had shrunk to the size of a candlelight. Su Meier's nine tails were wrapped around three ice pillars, barely allowing her to stand. At this moment, the sky-Burning fierce flames condensed between the flame head's fangs—a deadly beam of light about to pierce her Dantian.
"Dragon Spirit! Transform! Thunder Dragon Instant Prison Slash!" Ling Tian swung the Thunder Dragon towards the flame head, forcefully interrupting its charge!
"Meier! Swap positions! Utilize the advantage of elemental counteraction!"
With that, Ling Tian threw out an Ice Evasion Talisman, and a frost mist barrier instantly enveloped Su Meier. The maiden, using the ice evasion, flashed beneath the flame head, and the moonlight condensed on her fingertips into an ice soul needle, directly piercing the Dragon eye. Ling Tian, meanwhile, transformed into a fiery meteor and crashed into the ice head's inverse scale.
The pillar of fierce flames spewed by the flame head suddenly twisted. The ice soul needle thrown by Su Meier actually refracted seven layers of cold light on the surface of the Dragon eye. When the seventh ice needle pierced the iris, the sky-Burning fierce flames strangely froze into crimson ice prisms. At this moment, Ling Tian seized the opportunity to plunge his jade dragon sword, imbued with Flame Dragon Power, into the ice head's inverse scale. With a "crack," the Profound Nether heavy armor actually developed faint cracks.
"Kan-Li Exchange Array, activate!"
Su Meier's tail tip drew out the final array pattern, and the entire ice prison suddenly inverted Yin and Yang once more. Ling Tian stepped on the ice head's shattered inverse scale and soared into the air, his Flame Dragon golden flames surging three zhang in the extremely cold place. Su Meier stood in the core of the lava, and the ice phoenix condensed from moonlight pecked at the flame head's dissipating golden flames.
The Ice Flame Twin-Headed Dragon Dragon let out an earth-shattering roar, but the ice and fire storm swept up by its Dragon tail began to backfire. Ling Tian's sword finger traced the spine of the jade dragon sword, and lightning, wrapped in golden flames, pierced the ice head's skull. Su Meier's nine tails unfurled an ice Seal Domain, condensing the flame head's residual flames into ten thousand inverted ice barbs that stabbed back into its throat.
Just as the two thought the battle was over, an anomaly suddenly occurred!
The ice head suddenly opened its mouth and bit its own inverse scale, and the demon core, containing the Seal of Profound Nether True Water, exploded with a rumble. An extreme cold storm once again froze the entire space, even the lava turning into black obsidian. The flame head's left eye simultaneously burst open, and towering fierce flames strangely burned in absolute zero. The armor around the Flame Dragon body let out a cracking sound, unable to bear the strain!
"Not good! It's going to self-destruct!" Ling Tian instantly pulled Su Meier under him for protection!
"Burning Body!"
"Burning Sea!"
The Flame Dragon Power instantly went all out! The Flame Dragon totem on his back transformed into a protective Dragon Spirit!
"Boom!!!"
The demon cores of the ice head and flame head simultaneously erupted with dazzling, mournful light. Ice crystals and lava instantly collapsed into an ice-fire Tai Chi diagram. The moment the annihilation light wheel exploded, the entire layer of space shattered like a broken glazed lamp. On the left, an ice storm froze the boiling magma, while on the right, sky-Burning fire vaporized the Profound Nether Great Wall into mist. Subsequently, both sides condensed into cyan veins within the scorching flames.
Recalling Su Meier's earlier mention of spatial ripples in the Yin and Yang array core, Ling Tian, holding Su Meier, used Instantaneous Movement to flash into the Inverted Yin and Yang Array. Looking back, the ground three hundred zhang behind them was crystallizing and vaporizing at a terrifying speed. Spatial fragments, wrapped in extreme cold Profound Fire, carved dark blue trails in the Void Realm. The remaining inverse scales of the twin-headed Dragon Dragon transformed into billions of prisms, refracting the destructive beauty of this self-detonation into an overwhelming death aurora.
When the ice-fire Tai Chi diagram contracted to its extreme, the entire layer of space suddenly fell into absolute silence. The remnants of the twin-headed Dragon Dragon transformed into an ice-fire dual-colored Talisman, slowly drifting down from the sky. The Talisman had two sides: the left half was inscribed with the Profound Nether True Water spell, and the right half bore the imprint of sky-Burning fierce flames. When activated, it could release an Early Stage Nascent Soul ice-fire combined attack, usable three times a day.
Ling Tian hung the Ice Fire Twin Life Talisman on Su Meier's waist, and Su Meier now possessed a powerful Martial Skill!
Looking at the chaotic and ruined interior of the tower after the Ice Flame Twin-Headed Dragon Dragon's self-destruction, the two had no desire to rest there overnight. After a brief adjustment, they stepped into the teleportation array for the Fourth Heaven.
