Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 926 - 464: A Corner of the Immortal Prison in the Immortal Realm, Ice Prison_3

His expression grew exceedingly solemn, with frequent glances toward the heavens, as though dawn was on the brink of arriving.

For those confined within the Ice Prison, the hours of daylight brought utter horror.

The sun overhead proved monstrously fearsome, its rays capable of encasing innumerable beings in ice.

Typical human cultivators simply couldn't endure that bone-chilling radiance.

This explained why humans restricted their movements to the cover of night.

Indeed, only after darkness fell and the sun vanished could they roam without restraint.

Thus, as day broke, they scrambled to seek shelter, steering clear of the sun's direct glare.

Such facts were well-known to all humans dwelling in the Ice Prison.

Certainly, those cultivators who had reached the Divinity Transformation stage could endure the chill embedded in the sunlight.

Yet for anyone below the Divinity Transformation stage, such endurance was impossible; contact meant certain doom.

"Hmm, let’s see if there’s a cave nearby."

"Let’s find a cave for now and hide out for a few days."

Xu Chenyang gave a nod.

As just a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, he certainly couldn't traverse the land under the daytime sun.

Therefore, he too required a cavern to shield himself from the blazing daylight.

"Oh no, exotic beasts, a lot of exotic beasts are chasing after us."

"These beasts, we’ve already fled so far, and they still won’t let us go?"

"It’s over, it’s really all over now, the leader seems to be a Divinity Transformation level beast."

"No way, this is the beast that can kill the village chief, how can it be chasing us, why on earth is this happening?"

In that instant, every face among them twisted in shock.

Abruptly, across the frozen expanse in the distance, horrifying exotic beasts began emerging one after another.

Every one of these exotic beasts towered enormously, standing at least several dozen meters high, armored in thick scales, armed with razor-sharp claws, their forms nothing less than instruments of destruction.

They embodied perfect engines of slaughter.

In a flash, untold numbers of humans would meet gruesome ends beneath their onslaught.

The mere sight of these exotic beasts emerging plunged the people of Ice Lotus Village into total hopelessness, stripping away any will to fight back.

"It seems even heaven wants us dead."

Witnessing this dire sight, Xu Chenyang's features showed utter despair, though a trace of calm acceptance lingered.

Confronted by such an hopeless plight, fear had left him, leaving only a serene composure.

No amount of resistance could save him from these monstrous creatures.

So, in the end, death was inevitable.

Maybe perishing under the claws of these exotic beasts wasn't the worst fate.

Existence in the Ice Prison was relentlessly grueling, after all.

Not only did they suffer from endless hunger and biting cold, but death's shadow loomed perpetually; perhaps oblivion offered sweet relief.

It was simply regrettable that he couldn't honor the village chief's final plea.

He would never guide the surviving villagers to endure on the harsh Ice Prison terrain.

"Wait, Elder, those exotic beasts seem to be afraid to come over."

All at once, the youth Lu Zhicheng blurted out, having spotted how the fearsome exotic beasts afar had halted their advance, as though detecting some danger, emitting low, rumbling growls.

Yet they refrained from charging forward to slaughter the group at this moment.

"Someone’s there."

Xu Chenyang narrowed his gaze and abruptly noticed a silhouette materializing in the air, positioned ahead of the beast horde, radiating a dreadful presence that blanketed the surrounding miles.

This overwhelming pressure left him breathless, like standing before a divine being.
