In the end times, many children bring more blessings. I pick up a goddess every day.

As soon as the Ice Hell Wraith appeared... it opened its mouth towards Liu Yang... and a black curse force gushed out of its mouth...

It enveloped Liu Yang... The curse power carried a biting chill... and was mixed with the roar of vengeful spirits... Liu Yang felt dizzy... A subtle tingling sensation came from deep within his soul... It was obvious that the curse power had begun to erode his soul...

"Damn it! There's even a guardian beast!" Liu Yang cursed inwardly... He immediately injected the dream energy of the Dream Core into his body... The light blue dream energy formed a barrier around him... temporarily resisting the erosion of the curse power...

He simultaneously infused the fire spiritual power of the Burning Sky Fire Seed into the Ice and Fire Twin Blades... The crimson flames and the black netherworld power intertwined... forming a massive energy blade... which slashed towards the Ice Prison Wraith...

The energy blades hit the Ice Hell Wraiths...with a loud "bang"...several Ice Hell Wraiths were hit by the energy blades...their bodies instantly dissipated into the air...

But the remaining Ice Prison Wrathful Spirits were increasing in number... They surrounded Liu Yang...

Continuously releasing the power of curse and soul-freezing cold air....Under the double attack....the cracks on Liu Yang's dream barrier are getting bigger and bigger...

"We must first deal with the Ice Prison Wraiths!" Liu Yang quickly pondered a countermeasure... He discovered that although the Ice Prison Wraiths were numerous... they were all afraid of the fire power of the Burning Sky Fire Seed - as long as the flames touched the wraiths' bodies... they would instantly dissipate...

He took a deep breath... and took out the Burning Fire from his storage bag... The crimson fire floated in the air... emitting a dazzling light...

He poured all his spiritual energy into the Burning Heaven Fire... The fire instantly exploded... transformed into a huge vortex of flames... and enveloped the Ice Prison Wrathful Spirit...

The flame vortex carried a high temperature that could burn the heavens and destroy the earth... Wherever it passed... the Ice Hell ghosts screamed... their bodies quickly dissipated in the flames... The remaining Ice Hell ghosts, seeing that the situation was not good, tried to drill into the ice to escape... But the suction of the flame vortex was too strong... They could not escape at all... In the end, they were all swallowed by the flames and dissipated in the wasteland...

After solving the Ice Prison Ghost... Liu Yang turned around... and looked at the Ice Lord not far away...

By this time, the Ice Lord had already repaired Ice Wing's injuries... The Frozen Soul's cold energy on his body was burning again... but it was much dimmer than before...

The ice crystal swords in her hands once again condensed into a cold light... Two pairs of ice wings fluttered in the cold wind... The pale blue figure looked particularly ferocious...

"You actually managed to kill my guardian beast... Looks like I'll have to use all my strength!"

The Ice Lord's voice was filled with solemnity... She simultaneously retracted her two pairs of ice wings... The ice crystal swords in her hands converged in mid-air, forming a massive ice crystal sword... The surface of the sword was wrapped in a pale blue aura of frozen souls... and it also contained fluctuations of semi-immortal spiritual power... This was clearly the Ice Lord's ultimate killing move - the "Freezing Sky Blade"...

"This sword... is enough to freeze you into an eternal ice crystal!" The Ice Lord slashed the ice crystal sword towards Liu Yang... The sword, with the power to freeze the sky and destroy the earth... quickly approached Liu Yang... Wherever it passed... a huge hole was cut in the ice... The ice spikes in the sky were shattered by the sword energy...

Liu Yang could feel the terrifying energy contained in the ice crystal sword... He knew this was the final decisive battle... He had to use all his strength... He extracted all the energy from the Space Pearl, the Nether Pearl, the Ice and Fire Spirit Crystal, the Dream Core, and the Myriad Demon Pearl...

Combined with the fire spirit power of the Burning Sky Fire Seed... six types of energy quickly merged in front of him - transparent spatial power, black netherworld power, scarlet Hellfire, snow-white icy cold air, light blue dream energy, and dark red demonic power intertwined together... forming a huge energy cannon of six colors...

This was the strongest attack he could muster at the moment...and his only hope of withstanding the Frozen Sky Blade...

"A blast to break the cold!" Liu Yang roared... and unleashed a six-colored energy cannon towards the ice crystal sword... The two massive energy bodies collided in the center of the wasteland... forming a dazzling beam of light... which instantly illuminated the entire 84th floor...

In the light... the soul-frozen chill and the sky-burning flames violently collided... the power of space and the icy spiritual power eroded each other... the dream energy constantly distorted the surrounding space... forming a huge energy storm...

"boom--"

A deafening explosion sounded... A huge shock wave spread out in all directions... The ice was shattered by the shock wave... Countless streams of icy water spurted out from the cracks in the ground... Forming a huge icy water splash...

Liu Yang was knocked back by the shockwave... He landed heavily on a piece of broken ice... Blood spurted out of his mouth... The flame barrier around him was completely shattered... His clothes were frozen to pieces by the cold air of the frozen soul... His spiritual power was almost completely depleted... Only a faint breath remained...

The Ice Lord's situation was even worse than Liu Yang's... She was directly hit by the six-color energy cannon... Her pale blue body was torn apart by the energy storm... The frozen soul on her body was instantly extinguished...

The semi-immortal spiritual power also quickly dissipated under the burning flames... Her energy core flew out of her shattered body... It stayed in the air for a moment... before being swallowed by the energy storm... and completely dissipated in the wasteland...

Liu Yang struggled to get up from the ice... wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth... looked at the place where the Ice Lord had disappeared... and breathed a sigh of relief - he had finally defeated the Semi-Immortal-level Ice Lord...

He was just about to take a breath when the ice in the center of the wasteland suddenly stopped surging. A pale blue light rose from the ice and hovered in the air.

The light faded... A pale blue ice crystal appeared before Liu Yang. A pale blue chill clung to the surface of the ice crystal... emitting an aura that could freeze everything... It was the "Freezing Sky Ice Crystal"...

This ice crystal is a rare reward from the Netherworld Ice Layer... It not only enhances the holder's ice spiritual power... but also grants immunity to all ice attacks... and can even control the chilling energy of the frozen soul... It's a treasure for those practicing ice-attributed techniques...

Liu Yang stepped forward and put the Frozen Sky Ice Crystal into his storage bag, along with the Burning Sky Fire, the Myriad Demons Pearl, and other treasures.

At this moment...Su Qingyao's shadow appeared in the space again...She looked at Liu Yang with eyes full of despair...her voice trembled slightly:

"You... you can even defeat the Ice Lord who can freeze time... Impossible! The 85th floor is the 'Netherworld Illusionary Layer'... The illusions there can evoke your deepest obsessions... and there's also an Illusionary Lord with semi-immortal power guarding it... You absolutely can't get through!"

Liu Yang's lips curled up into a smile... His eyes were firm as he said:

"Even if it's an illusion that evokes obsession... I can break it... The next level... I will continue to move forward..."

The moment the frozen ice crystals were put away... the thousand-year-old ice beneath my feet began to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye... the pale blue chill slowly faded along the cracks in the ground... replaced by a hazy gray-white mist...

Mist surged in from all directions... When it wrapped around my ankles, it didn't feel cold at all... Instead, it gently enveloped me like soft silk... Even the lingering soul-chilling coldness in the air was completely dispelled...

Liu Yang gripped the Ice and Fire Blades tightly... As soon as the spiritual energy in his body flowed to the ends of his meridians... he felt a strange fluctuation - it was not the obstruction of the spiritual energy like a layer of ice... but a penetrating feeling like warm water melting salt...

It was as if tiny bits of energy were penetrating his consciousness along with his breath... He looked up... The frozen wasteland before him had completely vanished... In its place was a familiar bluestone road... Vermilion-painted shops with red lanterns hung on both sides of the road... The sweet aroma of sugar-roasted chestnuts wafted through the air... It was Qingyun Town, where he had lived as a teenager...

"This is the Netherworld Illusion Layer..." Liu Yang's fingertips flickered with flames... but he discovered that the high temperature of the Burning Fire didn't even dissipate the surrounding mist... He suddenly remembered Su Qingyao's words... and his heart trembled - the most terrifying thing about illusions is never the illusory scenes... but the details that can evoke the deepest obsessions...

The gray fog at the end of the stairs grew thicker... The frozen ice crystals trembled violently in the storage bag... A pale blue chill escaped through the bag's opening... Condensing around Liu Yang into a thin layer of ice... As he took his last step...

The sea of ​​clouds beneath his feet suddenly dissipated... replaced by a cracked concrete floor—the air was filled with the mixed smell of rust and decay... In the distance came the crisp sound of shattering glass... The doors and windows of shops on both sides of the street were askew... Posters were torn beyond recognition... It was the Qingyang City he remembered from "the first day of the zombie outbreak"...

"It's actually an apocalyptic illusion..." Liu Yang clenched the ice and fire blades tightly... The fire spirit energy at his fingertips quietly circulated... He had struggled in the apocalypse for three years... This memory was even more piercing than the past of Qingyun Sect...

The illusion chose to use it to attack his heart... Apparently sensing his deep-seated guilt over being unable to save him... Suddenly, hurried footsteps could be heard from the corner of the street... A girl in school uniform stumbled towards him...

Following behind him were three zombies with festering bodies and white eyes...

"Help... Help!" The girl fell to the ground... Her school uniform trouser legs were torn... Blood oozed out... The zombie smelled blood... roared and sped up... Its rotten palm almost grabbed the girl's shoulder...

Liu Yang didn't move...but his eyes had already swept across the entire scene...The girl's school uniform had the "Qingyang No. 1 Middle School" emblem embroidered on the collar...and in his memory...when the apocalypse broke out, the Qingyang No. 1 Middle School emblem had already been replaced with a silver frame...

The one in front of me had an older gold frame; more importantly, when the girl fell, the backpack strap in her hand remained straight without any shaking due to inertia - this would never happen in reality.
