Chapter 1164: Spiritual Fluctuation
As the spatial barrier of the seventy-eighth floor of the Tower of Babel rippled in front of Liu Yang... the air suddenly filled not with the spiritual energy fluctuations of a normal level... but with a biting chill and the faint smell of blood...
He lowered his eyes to glance at the thin frost condensing on his fingertips... A faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips - Su Qingyao's handiwork... was much more serious than those light illusions in the previous few layers...
The moment he entered the checkpoint... Liu Yang sensed an anomaly in the spatial structure... This level wasn't a traditional tower floor... but was instead divided into hundreds of interconnected caves... connected by cracks in the rocks barely wide enough for one person to pass through...
The inner walls of the crevice were covered in sharp ice crystals... reflecting the faint light from the depths of the cave... illuminating the path with flickering light... Even more problematic... a pale purple barrier hovered over the entrance of each cave... subtle lightning patterns swirled across its surface... clearly a deliberate placement by Su Qingyao to prevent teleportation...
"That's quite thoughtful..." Liu Yang's fingertips condensed a streak of silver-white lightning... lightly touching the restriction... The moment the lightning and the restriction came into contact... a low roar came from the depths of the cave...
An "Ice Prison Demonic Dragon" covered in inky scales burst through the cavern's rock wall... This demonic dragon was over three feet long... A pale blue chill seeped from the cracks between its scales...
Every breath condensed a thick layer of ice on the ground... A pair of scarlet vertical pupils locked onto Liu Yang... When the snake's mouth opened... Unmelted ice still hung from its fangs...
Liu Yang didn't move... but his gaze penetrated the cave's rock wall... taking in the entire layout of the level... The core design of the 78th level... was the "Nine Palace Soul Locking Formation"—nine main caves arranged according to the nine palace directions... Each main cave housed a lord-level monster... while the remaining secondary caves served as monster lairs... Every quarter of an hour, two "Ice Thunder Lizards" would burst out of the secondary caves... If they couldn't break through the main cave within half an hour... the number of monsters would increase exponentially... eventually forming an impenetrable encirclement...
At this moment... in the main cavern of "Kanshui Level" facing Liu Yang... besides the Ice Prison Demonic Dragon... dozens of "Thunder Pattern Ice Silkworms" were entwined on the stalactites at the top of the cave... These silkworms were completely transparent...
The silk thread carried a paralyzing lightning effect... Once entangled... even a Mahayana cultivator would instantly lose their strength... And in the "Gen Earth" cave to his left... he could faintly sense the uniquely heavy aura of an earth-type demonic beast... evidently lurking within it was a defensively skilled "Black Armor Ice Bear"...
The Ice Prison Demonic Dragon's attack was imminent... its massive tail, brimming with icy cold, swept towards them...
The ice on the ground was swept away, shattering and scattering... The ice crystals in the cracks of the rocks also broke with a sound... A layer of light blue light appeared under Liu Yang's feet... The ability of "Eternal Freeze" was instantly activated - not to freeze the enemy... but to freeze the three-foot space around himself into an absolute domain... The moment the giant tail hit the domain...
The cold air collided with the domain... a sharp crackling sound was heard... the demon dragon's tail scales were actually shaken off by the frozen space... dark green blood oozed out...
"It seems this freezing ability... is also effective against the scales of monsters..." Liu Yang understood... and his figure suddenly disappeared... Although the restrictions set by Su Qingyao can interfere with teleportation... it is only within a range of ten feet...
His teleportation limit was a hundred feet... He only needed to step outside the restricted area... to travel freely... The next second... he appeared at the top of the "Kanshui Level" cave... lightly tapping the stalactites with his toes... avoiding the silver threads spitted out by the Thunder Pattern Ice Silkworm...
Seeing its attack miss, the Thunder Pattern Ice Silkworm launched dozens of silk threads simultaneously towards Liu Yang, strangling him. Lightning crackled on the threads, weaving a dense, impenetrable electric net in the air. Liu Yang raised his right hand.
A silver-white ball of lightning condensed in his palm... His "Lightning Control" ability was fully activated... The ball instantly split into dozens of tiny lightning arrows... which were accurately shot at the nodes of each silk thread...
There was a constant "sizzling" sound... After being struck by the lightning arrows, the silk threads of the Thunder Pattern Ice Silkworms instantly lost their luster and turned into dust and drifted away... And the ice silkworms, their silk threads destroyed... let out a sharp hissing sound... and fell stiffly from the stalactites... and turned into a pool of icy water when they hit the ground...
After dealing with the Thunder Pattern Ice Silkworm... the Ice Prison Demonic Dragon has rushed over again...
This time, a basketball-sized ice bomb condensed from its mouth... Purple lightning coiled around its surface... Clearly a fusion of the fundamental powers of ice and lightning... Liu Yang's eyes fixed... He didn't dodge...
Instead, he stretched out his left hand... and clenched it in the direction of the ice bomb... and activated his "Eternal Freeze" ability again... This time...
He froze the space around the ice bomb... The ice bomb suddenly stopped in mid-air... The lightning and cold air on its surface were instantly frozen... Like a frozen work of art...
"Give it back to you..." Liu Yang flicked his finger... The frozen ice bomb instantly flew backwards towards the Ice Prison Demon Dragon... The demon dragon's pupils suddenly shrank... It tried to dodge, but it was too late...
An ice bomb exploded in front of it... Frozen lightning and cold air instantly enveloped it... Transforming it into a giant ice sculpture... Liu Yang's figure flashed...
He arrived in front of the ice sculpture... his right hand condensed a streak of golden lightning... gently tapped the ice sculpture's head... the lightning penetrated the ice... instantly crushed the demon dragon's spirit... the ice sculpture shattered... turning into a cloud of ice...
After defeating the demonic dragon at the "Kan Water Level"... Liu Yang didn't rush to the next main cave... Instead, he stood at the top of the cave... closed his eyes... and his "Future Prediction" ability slowly unfolded... Countless pale golden bands of light intertwined in his mind... Each band represented a future course of action—choosing a direct attack on the "Gen Earth Level"...
Association
Encountering a pincer attack from the Black Armored Ice Bear and the Ice Thunder Lizards in the secondary cave; choosing to clear the secondary cave first... would waste time... and cause the monsters in the other main caves to awaken prematurely; choosing to attack the "fire-leaving position" from behind...
It would trigger the hidden restriction set by Su Qingyao... and be trapped in a space where flames and ice intertwine...
A moment later... Liu Yang opened his eyes... There was no longer any trace of confusion in them... The path he had chosen... was to utilize the mobility of teleportation... to quickly shuttle through the nine-square grid...
Attack only one weak point in the main cave at a time... Use "Eternal Freeze" to block the exit of the secondary cave... and avoid harassment from the Ice Thunder Lizards...
In a flash... Liu Yang appeared at the entrance of the "Gen Tu Wei" cave... Deep in the cave... a two-meter-tall black-armored ice bear lay on the ground... its paws pressing against the ground...
Every breath thickened the ice on the ground... Its armor was covered in earthy yellow lines... It was clearly a perfect fusion of earth-based defense and ice-based chill... Ordinary attacks were simply unable to penetrate...
Liu Yang didn't rush in... Instead, he raised his hand and released an "Eternal Freeze" towards the cave floor... The ice instantly spread to the Black Armor Ice Bear's feet... freezing its limbs to the ground...
The Ice Bear roared angrily... and tried to break free... The ochre lines on its armor lit up... and it wanted to use the power of the earth element to shatter the ice... But Liu Yang's freezing ability came from "eternity"... Once frozen... unless he took the initiative to release it... even the power of the Mahayana stage would be difficult to break free in a short time...
"Right now..." Liu Yang teleported to the top of the ice bear's head... His right hand condensed into a spear made of lightning... The tip of the spear flashed with golden lightning... and with a sharp sound that tore through the air...
Stab towards the gap in the Ice Bear's armor... Although the Ice Bear's defense is strong... the gap between the armor is its weakness... and Liu Yang has already accurately found the location of the gap through "future deduction"...
