I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

Li Chen walked cautiously towards the Millennium Ice, taking every step with extreme caution. Just when he was a few steps away from the Millennium Ice, suddenly, a piercing cold air gushed out from the Millennium Ice, like a ferocious beast with its bloody mouth opened wide, pouncing towards Li Chen.

Li Chen couldn't help but shiver, secretly exclaiming in his heart: "It's so cold! I feel like my body is about to freeze!" He hurriedly used his internal strength to resist the cold, but the cold seemed to be pervasive, quickly penetrating his body's protective true qi and wrapping him tightly.

In the blink of an eye, the entire Millennium Ice Cave was enveloped by this icy chill, and the temperature plummeted, making it feel as if one were immersed in a world of ice and snow. Li Chen gritted his teeth, trying to remain calm, but deep down, he was filled with fear. This Millennium Ice Cave was indeed worthy of its reputation. The mere chill it emitted was enough to make him feel so exhausted. It was hard to imagine the torture that a creature trapped within would endure.

At this moment, the system's voice rang out in Li Chen's mind: "Host, its power is far more than this! This thousand-year-old ice is condensed by the power of the Water Ancestral Witch. It can cause people or animals trapped inside to gradually lose their minds, become crazy and violent, and eventually become beasts that only know how to kill and invade!"

Li Chen's heart trembled, finally understanding why the Golden Haired Tiger attacked its rescuer after being rescued. It turned out that all this was caused by the thousand-year-old ice, which not only froze the Golden Haired Tiger's body, but also corroded its soul, causing its temperament to change drastically.

Thinking of this, Li Chen grew increasingly wary of the thousand-year-old ice. He knew perfectly well that if he wanted to break free from his current predicament, he must first find a way to combat the terrifying power of the ice. But the problem now was, even if he could successfully break the thousand-year-old ice, how would he then deal with the Golden-haired Roar, which had already been affected by the ice? For a moment, Li Chen was caught in a dilemma.

However, at this moment, the Millennium Ice clearly didn't intend to give Li Chen much time to think or hesitate. The next moment, with a whoosh, it unleashed another wave of earth-shattering cold energy, surging directly towards Li Chen! Faced with such a formidable attack, Li Chen dared not hesitate. He quickly transformed Little White Dragon's power into that of Sun Wukong, attempting to use Sun Wukong's unparalleled firepower to melt the extremely stubborn Millennium Ice!

"Fire Demon Slash!!"

With a roar, Li Chen dashed through the void like a ghost, his movements nimble and agile, his speed astonishing. The stick in his hand flashed with fiery light, and each swing carried an unparalleled momentum as he fiercely attacked the extremely stubborn thousand-year-old ice!

However, shockingly, despite Li Chen's ferocious attack, the thousand-year-old ice remained indestructible. Its surface was as smooth as a mirror, without even the slightest cut mark left, let alone any signs of damage!

When Li Chen unleashed his Fire Demon Slash to its final form, a powerful slash like a falling star descended upon the thousand-year-old ice. The blow was so powerful that it sent clouds of dust billowing through the air, as if the entire space were trembling. The deafening explosion and the thick cloud of dust made it impossible to see clearly, making it difficult to determine whether the thousand-year-old ice had been shattered by Li Chen.

Soon, the smoke and dust from the explosion gradually dissipated, revealing the true appearance of the thousand-year-old ice. A huge, bottomless crater appeared on the ice, clearly caused by the shocking blow. Li Chen's heart surged with ecstasy upon seeing this, but his joy was short-lived. What followed was a scene that left him dumbfounded—the previously deeply sunken crater had healed at a visible speed, returning to its original state in the blink of an eye!

At this moment, Gonggong, the Ancestral Water Witch, within the Fahua Spiritual Cave, also keenly sensed the unusual fluctuations emanating from the Millennium Ice Cave. A subtle smile curved her lips, "It seems Master Tongtian was right. That otherworldly visitor has finally arrived..."

Meanwhile, the unusual movements within the Millennium Ice Cave and the devastating blow just now had also alerted the Nine-Headed Insect. However, this self-important being didn't take the matter to heart. In his eyes, no one had yet escaped unscathed from the Millennium Ice Cave! Even the mount of Guanyin Bodhisattva couldn't escape, let alone a fledgling like Li Chen!

The camera panned to the other side, and Li Chen gazed at the thousand-year-old ice that had been restored to its original state. A deep fear welled up in his heart. The deepest fear and the biting cold seemed to instantly envelop him tightly, making it almost impossible to breathe.

"How about... try 'Golden Axe Chopping the Devil'?" Li Chen thought to himself, his voice trembling slightly, revealing his inner uneasiness and fear.

However, as soon as this thought came to Li Chen's mind, he quickly dismissed it. After all, the "Golden Axe Splitting the Devil" move was extremely powerful, but if there was any mistake, not only would it fail to save the Golden Haired Tiger, it might even die!

But at this moment, if he didn't use this trick, Li Chen knew very well that he and the Golden Haired Tiger would be frozen by the biting cold air released by the rare piece of ice!

At this point, there seemed to be no other choice. Li Chen gritted his teeth and decided to take a chance on this unique skill, which he had never successfully used before. He would harness the mighty power of the Grandmaster of Gold, transforming it into countless razor-sharp blades, then meticulously carve this thousand-year-old ice until it was shaped into his ideal form!

Li Chen was actually deeply resistant to this move. After all, to perform this move, not only did it consume a large amount of his own true energy and mental strength, but it was also quite difficult.

Specifically, firstly, an extremely strong amount of Zhen Yuan must be used to support the blades, keeping them solid and stable; secondly, a continuous infusion of powerful energy is required to ensure that the blades are indestructible and unbreakable. Furthermore, one must be fully immersed in the process, concentrating on using Zhen Yuan to control the blades. The slightest mistake could result in the accidental injury of the Golden-haired Tiger.

This move was the result of Li Chen's hard thinking in Jiuhua Mountain, but he encountered many setbacks in the actual practice, and almost every attempt ended in failure: either the blade became extremely unstable and shot around randomly; or it became fragile due to lack of sufficient power to maintain it, and shattered at the slightest touch.

Fortunately, with the guidance of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Li Chen finally mastered this unique skill after going through countless hardships. He even gave this move a majestic and imposing name - "Golden Blade Technique"! But at this point, there's nothing he can do but give it a try!
