Chapter 540: Chapter 540: Xuanming Ice Snake!

Lu Chen barely dared to breathe, instinctively wanting to shrink back.

But then he thought again, this clearly wasn’t the outcome he desired.

There was no movement from Ao Yu’s side.

This made him decide to wait another moment!

As long as the other party made a move, it would alert Ao Yu to the presence of a magical beast here, and they could divert their attention, allowing him to take advantage in the Extreme Ice Land!

But in that moment, atop the ice sculpture, a white shadow flickered like light, shuttling through the cold wind, and swooped down!

Lu Chen’s hair stood on end, but because he was prepared, he retracted his head immediately!

In that same moment, he got a clear view of the entire magical beast!

It was actually a white snake!

However, this white snake was covered in thick ice scales, blending with the snowy surroundings!

If it weren’t for the reflection of light from its body as it dived down, Lu Chen would have had a very difficult time reacting!

Even so, Lu Chen still didn’t see the full appearance of the ice snake. He hid inside the ice cave, gasping for breath, the cold air helping him to calm down quickly.

"No wonder it couldn’t get in, this ice cave is too small for it."

From the moment Lu Chen stuck his head out, to the ice snake’s sneak attack, it all happened within three breaths’ time.

The demon Qi stirred up by the ice snake mixed with the Ice Spiritual Power and naturally attracted the attention of Ao Yu and Nian Ciyun!

"A magical beast, an ice-elemental magical beast!"

Nian Ciyun cried out in alarm—her spiritual sense and vision were limited by this place, making her reaction slow.

Ao Yu was more responsive, but only noticed after the ice snake had moved.

He looked up, only to see a huge snake tail still hanging from the top of the ice sculpture. Had it not moved, he wouldn’t have noticed it!

"Go, hurry! It’s a Xuanming Ice Snake!"

Ao Yu was also shocked, quickly alerting Nian Ciyun.

Nian Ciyun didn’t dare to delay, maneuvering her Magic Artifact, she flew straight out of the valley!

The Xuanming Ice Snake seemed to have decided that these two had ruined its opportunity and opened its gigantic mouth to chase after them.

Hearing the rush of wind, Lu Chen guessed the outcome, but since no fight ensued, his plan fell through as well.

So what’s next? Should I stay here, or escape into the ice?

The thought flashed through his mind.

Because Lu Chen simply had no chance to choose!

If he stayed, he would be trapped in the ice sculpture just as before.

But, right now, escaping the valley clearly wasn’t a wise choice.

Then there was only one path left!

To delve deeper into the ice!

"Go!"

Lu Chen made a snap decision, immediately grabbing the Heavenly Inquiry Spear and drilling out from the ice cave, taking off with Spear Control. At that moment, his spiritual sense also caught a full view of the Xuanming Ice Snake!

"It’s actually thirty feet long!"

He was astounded.

It wasn’t the enormous size of the Xuanming Ice Snake that shocked him, but its stealth skills!

Lu Chen dared not imagine confronting the Xuanming Ice Snake directly before finding a way to deal with it.

For now, he could only try to put as much distance between them as possible!

First, Lu Chen controlled his body to not absorb the ice energy here, and then he frantically channeled his Spiritual Power into the Heavenly Inquiry Spear under his feet.

But soon.

He noticed a problem!

To keep warm, he had converted all his Spiritual Power into Fire Spiritual Power. Using it now, although no longer cold, seemed to be resisted by the ice-element Spiritual Energy of this place, which caused Lu Chen to not move as fast as he had expected!

"No, this isn’t right, running like this, I’ll surely be caught by the Xuanming Ice Snake!"

Lu Chen forced himself to calm down. Without Fire Spiritual Power, he would have to endure the extreme cold of this place.

"Can’t worry about that now, better to move faster!"

In urgent situations, the worst thing was to hesitate. Lu Chen quickly converted all his Fire Spiritual Power into Metal Spiritual Power!

In an instant, the fiery light on the Heavenly Inquiry Spear disappeared, replaced by streaks of metallic light!

Metal represents sharpness!

This turned Lu Chen’s Heavenly Inquiry Spear into a sharp sword, piercing through the obstructing cold winds and dust, making his getaway!

Of course, he didn’t exceed his usual speed.

It was just that in this limited icy terrain, Lu Chen could move faster than when using Fire Spiritual Power!

"I wonder if directly using Five Elements Spiritual Power would affect the speed?"

Sensing the differences between the Spiritual Powers, Lu Chen naturally considered different ideas. Obviously, it wasn’t the right time to test this in his current situation.

However, if there was time within the Haotian Secret Realm, it might be worthwhile to study it—perhaps he could gain new insights into the Five Elements!

With such thoughts, Lu Chen flew dozens of miles until he spotted a low mountain and a narrow crack. He swiftly turned and plunged straight into it!

Standing on firm ground, Lu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to look around.

But then.

His expression changed again!
