Star Journey: Destiny Returns

Beneath the icy peaks, Yunxuan, Yaoyue, and Fengchi hugged each other tightly, feeling a mixture of nervousness and anticipation for the upcoming trials. An invisible pressure hung in the air, as if the entire glacier was watching with bated breath.

"Are you ready?" Yun Xuan's voice was particularly clear in the silence. He gripped his weapon tightly, his eyes determined.

"I'm always ready to face challenges." Feng Chi smiled slightly, with fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.

Yaoyue's expression was a bit heavy. She turned and looked at Bingfeng, a hint of hesitation on her face. "We must remain calm and not take it lightly."

At this moment, a dazzling light flashed once again from the ice peak, as if responding to their voices. A low vibration was heard, as if the earth was trembling with fear for the coming trial.

"Let's start!" Yunxuan roared, and with a fearless momentum, he took the first step and walked towards the ice peak where the light was.

As they approached, the light at the center of the ice peak began to swirl, forming a series of ice-blue vortexes that moved directly towards them. Yunxuan and the other two immediately became alert and took up their positions, preparing for the upcoming test.

"This power... is the beginning of the trial!" Feng Chi said in a low voice, with a hint of shock in his eyes.

"Stay alert!" Yao Yue reminded, and her spiritual power began to gather at her fingertips, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

The moment they reached the foot of the icy peak, a vortex suddenly erupted with intense energy, transforming into several massive cones of ice that smashed down upon the three of them. Yun Xuan reacted quickly, drawing his weapon and striking fiercely. The cones shattered, scattering into countless shards of ice.

"What a formidable trial!" He was secretly surprised, but did not stop.

Yaoyue was standing by, calculating in her mind. She noticed that these icicles didn't come randomly, but rather followed a path. "Yunxuan, go left! There's a gap there!"

Yunxuan dodged the next icicle attack and nodded gratefully: "Yaoyue, your observation skills are really excellent!"

Feng Chi, unwilling to be outdone, leaped up and charged towards the center of the vortex. The weapon in his hand pierced the air like a stream of light, striking back at the incoming ice cones.

"Let me try!" Feng Chi shouted, and his weapon released a dazzling light, hitting an ice cone hard, knocking it away and forming a passage.

"Keep moving forward!" Yunxuan took the lead, and the three of them quickly approached the center of the vortex.

However, as they went deeper, the light in the vortex grew stronger, and even began to form a huge ice vortex, as if calling them. Yao Yue suddenly felt uneasy, and her eyes locked on the vortex: "What is that?"

Just as she issued the warning, the frost at the center of the vortex suddenly tore apart, revealing a giant ice elemental creature with an ice-blue light flickering on its body, like a being from ancient legend.

"This... this is the guardian of the trial!" Yun Xuan exclaimed, his heart filled with shock.

"Prepare for battle!" Feng Chi roared, the weapon in his hand flashing with cold light, and rushed straight towards the ice element.

Yaoyue did not retreat at this moment. She quickly gathered her spiritual power and was ready to take action at any time.

The ice element roared, its sound waves crashing down like a giant wave. The three of them felt a surge of pressure, almost suffocating them. Feng Chi, however, showed no fear. Instead, he launched a powerful attack, attempting to tear through the ice element's defenses.

"Break it!" Feng Chi roared, and his weapon released a shining light, hitting the ice element's heart directly.

However, the ice elemental showed no fear, easily neutralizing the attack. Its body spun continuously, forming a frost storm that swept towards the three people.

"Get out of the way!" Yao Yue shouted, instantly condensing her spiritual power and releasing an ice barrier to withstand the storm.

"We have to find a way to break its defenses!" Yun Xuan gritted his teeth, anger igniting in his heart. He knew that this battle would determine whether they could successfully pass the trial.

Feng Chi heard Yun Xuan's words and nodded in agreement: "We must join forces!"

Yao Yue calmly analyzed: "Although its power is great, as long as we find its weakness, we can defeat it!"

"I'll lure it away, and you guys take the opportunity to attack!" Yunxuan suggested decisively and fearlessly.

"Okay!" Feng Chi and Yao Yue said in unison, hope ignited in their hearts.

Yunxuan quickly rushed towards the ice element, his weapon blazing like a rainbow, striking directly in front of it. The ice element was attracted by him and turned around in an instant, ready to meet the attack.

"Come on!" Yun Xuan roared in his heart, swung his weapon, and instantly tore through the air, heading straight for the ice element.

At the same time, Yaoyue and Fengchi seized the opportunity to launch a flanking attack. Yaoyue's concentrated icy arrows shot directly at the ice element's vulnerable parts, while Fengchi launched a fierce attack from the rear, striving to hit the target with one strike.

The ice element roared, shaking the entire ice field. It struggled to resist the attacks of the three, but as Yao Yue's frost arrows hit it, cracks appeared in its defenses.

"Now!" Yun Xuan shouted. Feeling the hope of a breakthrough, he suddenly increased his strength and struck the crack in the ice element.

"Break!" Feng Chi also exerted force at this time, and the weapon in his hand collided heavily with Yun Xuan's attack, like the sound of thunder, shaking all directions.

In an instant, the ice element's body collapsed, turning into countless ice chips that flew everywhere. The huge force exploded in the air, stirring up a strong wind.

"We succeeded!" Yaoyue shouted excitedly, with disbelief in her eyes.

"Great!" Yunxuan breathed a sigh of relief, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.

However, just as they were celebrating their victory, a mysterious light flashed on the ice peak again, as if cheering for their victory.

"That's... Ice Crystal Fruit!" Feng Chi exclaimed, pointing to the flashing light in the center of the vortex.

The three of them immediately ran towards the light, their inner desire prompting them to quicken their pace. Under the temptation of the ice crystal fruit, they couldn't wait to unveil this mysterious veil.

As they got closer, they finally saw the appearance of the ice crystal fruit. It was crystal clear and emitted a soft glow, as bright as a star.

"This fruit... seems to contain extremely powerful power!" Yaoyue said softly, with a look of surprise on her face.

"We succeeded, we finally found it!" Yunxuan was very excited, with anticipation glittering in his eyes.

However, just as they were about to reach out and pick the ice crystal fruit, the vibration of the ice peak intensified again, as if warning them: "Don't act rashly!"

"Is there still an unsolved secret?" Feng Chi's heart tightened and he felt a sense of unease.

"Everyone, be careful!" Yao Yue warned, a sense of alarm rising in her heart. Bing Feng's strange behavior made her realize that this place was not completely peaceful.

At this moment, the ice crystal fruit began to emit a dazzling light, gradually forming a rotating circle of light that instantly surrounded the three people.

"What happened?" Yunxuan shouted loudly, his heart full of confusion.

"This power... seems to be testing us!" Yaoyue's voice was firm, "We must face it!"

In the center of the aperture, a voice sounded again, as if guiding them: "Only those who pass the trial can touch the fruit of power."
