Chapter 75 Dragon Soul Ice Crystal
Legend has it that ten thousand years ago, an elemental spirit was born in the northernmost part of the magical continent.

Through diligent training, the elemental spirit eventually ascended to godhood and became known as the Goddess of Ice and Snow.

The Ice and Snow Goddess supported the Ice and Snow Empress, established the Ice and Snow Empire, and bestowed blessings upon this land.

All creatures born in the Ice and Snow Empire will receive the blessing of the goddess.

Unafraid of the severe cold, with a strong body.

Humans, monsters, elemental spirits...

This applies to all races.

However, the Ice and Snow Tribe has lived in the icy and snowy land for a long time and has long been accustomed to the severe cold here.

They would feel uncomfortable going to other places.

In frigid environments, their strength surpasses that of others at the same level.

However, in warmer or even hotter areas, some people struggle to survive.

The perennial ice and snow have led to a severe food shortage within the empire.

To solve this problem, the Ice Queen led her army to subdue the dragon.

After slaying the dragon, he buried it underground.

As time passed, the dragon's corpse transformed into a labyrinth.

One dragon falls, and all things are reborn.

Numerous magical beasts emerged from the labyrinth, giving rise to a wealth of treasures.

Monsters can reproduce using the rich magical energy within the labyrinth.

Humans can make a living by hunting magical beasts...

Through the information on the murals, Loren gained a new understanding of the dragon's power.

He knew that dragons were very powerful, but he never expected that just a dragon corpse could have such a great impact on future generations.

It is no exaggeration to say that this dead dragon fed the entire Ice and Snow Empire.

The Ice Queen, who slayed the dragon, must have possessed formidable power.

The Elf Queen's strength should be comparable to that of the Ice Queen.

Her strength also surpasses that of the dragon.

If the blessings of the Ice and Snow Tribe originated from the Ice and Snow Goddess...

So perhaps the blessing of the Elf Kingdom comes from the Elf Goddess.

Loren stopped thinking about it.

This is beyond his reach; thinking about it further will be of no use.

All he wants to know now is the whereabouts of Shenyun!

If goddesses really exist.

Does that divine essence represent the power of the gods?
Loren searched the palace again, but still found no information.

With no other option, he could only stay in the palace and wait for intelligence.

Loren calmed himself down and began to meditate.

The palace is filled with a strong magical aura. Meditating here can increase your cultivation speed by at least ten times!
Lilia was shivering with cold.

She lay on the ground, fast asleep next to Loren.

Loren felt warm and comfortable all over.

The next day, the intelligence was updated.

[There is a hidden chamber directly beneath the goddess statue inside the Ice Palace, and inside the chamber is a Dragon Soul Ice Crystal.]

[A divine essence is hidden within the dragon soul ice crystal in the dark room.]

Directly below the goddess statue?

No wonder we haven't found anything after exploring for so long.

It turns out there were hidden rooms inside the palace!
Loren arrived at the statue.

Destroying the statue might anger the goddess, wouldn't it?

Loren thought about it and concluded that it shouldn't be that bad.

Let's set aside whether goddesses really exist.

Even if it once existed, it may have already perished.

Even if they were still alive, they might not have noticed his offensive behavior.

Even if they notice, they might not get angry.

How could a dignified ice and snow goddess possibly stoop to the level of a nobody?

Loren continued to offer psychological comfort.

He bowed silently and apologized, "Respected Goddess of Ice and Snow, I have offended you."

Flames condensed, the statue gradually melted, and finally turned into ice water.

The longsword struck the base of the sculpture, producing a hollow sound.

Loren swung his sword, shattering the solid ice on the ground.

Sure enough, a passage was hidden beneath the icy stone ground.

There were no bioluminescent organisms in the passage; it was pitch black.

Lilia, clutching Loren's clothes, followed behind him in fear.

As they slowly walked in, a light appeared ahead. The dimly lit room was small, and a pale blue ice crystal floated inside!
This ice crystal is at least two meters tall, taller than an average adult.

Dragon Soul Ice Crystal!

The Dragon Soul Ice Crystal is definitely a treasure as well.

It exuded a chilling aura and an incredibly powerful magical energy!

But the Dragon Soul Ice Crystal isn't the key point; the key point is the divine essence within the ice crystal!
This ice crystal should be a great tonic for the Frost Dragon Egg.

After a moment's thought, Loren decided not to let the dragon egg absorb the magic of the ice crystals.

He feared that the dragon egg would absorb the divine essence along with the dragon's power, which would be a greater loss than gain.

Loren conjured flames again, attempting to melt the ice crystals.

Surprisingly, the flames vanished the moment they touched the Dragon Soul Ice Crystal.

Was the intense cold from the ice crystals extinguishing the flames?

Loren summoned the flames again.

This time he saw clearly that the flames were not extinguished, but were completely absorbed by the ice crystal!
It can instantly convert fire magic into ice magic!

Clearly, magical flames have no effect on these dragon soul ice crystals.

Loren drew his sword, gathering fiery battle aura.

If witchcraft doesn't work, then use battle aura!
The longsword slashed down repeatedly, making a clanging sound.

After several strikes, the longsword broke in two.

Loren remained silent. "Little Deer, you give it a try."

Lilia looked at Loren in confusion, "Try what?"

"Try to see if you can split this ice crystal with a tree branch."

"Loren, you're so stupid. How could a branch possibly break through this block of ice?"

As she spoke, she made an attempt.

It naturally ended in failure.

Witchcraft didn't work, martial arts didn't work, and the deer's attacks didn't work either.

Loren had no other choice.

He could only take out the Frost Dragon Egg and let it absorb the ice crystal.

The divine essence is hidden inside the ice crystal; we must be extremely careful!

If he has already signed a contract with the dragon egg, he naturally won't have any reservations.

The problem is that a contract hasn't been signed yet.

If the divine essence is truly absorbed by the dragon egg, who can we complain to?

Take out the Frost Dragon Egg.

This time, the dragon egg showed a strong reaction.

It trembled incessantly, appearing extremely agitated.

The Dragon Soul Ice Crystal was of great help to it!
The dragon egg greedily absorbed the power from the ice crystals.

Loren could clearly feel the magic power of the Dragon Soul Ice Crystal rapidly dissipating.

Having absorbed half of it, Loren quickly retrieved the dragon egg and checked the state of the ice crystals.

Finding that the ice crystals were still unbreakable, they had no choice but to let the dragon egg continue to absorb them.

The same operation was performed several times in a row.

Loren was getting impatient with the Frost Dragon Egg.

But it is clear that Loren is now the father.

It dared not offer any opinion.

As countless magical energies surged in, a crack was heard, and Loren discovered that a crack had appeared on the dragon egg.

broken!

Is it really going to hatch?

Dragon eggs typically take a long time to hatch.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for it to hatch in less than three to five years.

However, Loren has allowed it to absorb a large amount of ice crystals, and now it has absorbed an entire piece of dragon soul ice crystal, causing cracks to appear on its egg body.

If it's this difficult to form a contract with an unhatched dragon egg, what would it be like once it's hatched?
Loren took it back again, preventing it from absorbing any more.

The Dragon Soul Ice Crystal is now only the size of an adult's head, and Loren could vaguely see a floating aura.

"Little deer, try again and smash this ice crystal."

Lilia stepped forward and swung the branch down hard.

This time, the ice crystals swayed gently, teetering on the verge of collapse.

Loren, his face beaming with joy, exclaimed, "Again!"

Lilia smashed it with increasing enthusiasm.

After dozens of powerful blows.

With a "click",

The ice crystals finally shattered...
