Chapter 545: The Boundary Between Life and Death
Seeing their curiosity, Ye Li Kong raised his peculiar twin pupils and said indifferently:
“You can probably guess that Absolute Twin Pupils are actually Dong Jun’s spirit artifact, and I can’t tell you its specific function.”
“Of course, if you two really want to know, you can wait until Dong Jun’s Holy Solution Ceremony is complete and ask him yourself.”
“Ask him?” Mo Zixin’s mind conjured the image of the handsome young man in the wheelchair, and he shook his head.
Ye Li Dong Jun was a genius of the previous generation, now firmly holding the position of the Fourth Pillar’s disciple. He not only possessed immense power but also terrifying strength. He was far more powerful than Ye Li Kong.
Of course, Ye Li Kong only lost out due to his youth. In terms of cultivation talent alone, Ye Li Kong was not inferior to Ye Li Dong Jun. If given time, Ye Li Kong would soon be on par with Ye Li Dong Jun.
This wasn’t Ye Li Kong being arrogant; it was that everyone believed Ye Li Kong possessed such potential. Both Mo Zixin and Olivia had experienced Ye Li Kong’s cultivation talent and his rapid speed in learning spirit robes.
Seeing that Ye Li Kong was unwilling to say more, Mo Zixin clicked his tongue again, thinking it was no fun.
“Fine.”
He patted his pants and stood up, smiling indifferently. “I’ll go down and see if the Saintess is dead yet, and I’ll kill that little half-dragon while I’m at it.”
Mo Zixin actually wanted to befriend Ye Li Dong Jun, and since Ye Li Kong’s current goal of killing the Divine Half-dragon was to help Ye Li Dong Jun complete his Holy Solution Ceremony, he didn’t mind lending a hand. It could be considered indirectly helping Ye Li Dong Jun.
Ye Li Kong understood Mo Zixin’s intentions, nodded indifferently without saying anything, and replied, “Agreed.”
“After dealing with it, remember to bring back the remnant spirit.”
The Holy Solution Ceremony required the killing of six Dragon King-class Divine Half-dragons. This ‘killing’ referred to the final blow that annihilates the soul of the Divine Half-dragon. If the blow was struck by the wielder of Absolute Twin Pupils, the condition would be met.
“Alright,” Mo Zixin nodded and waved his hand, then leaped out of the cabin door.
Faint blue flames ignited around him, indicating he had a method to remain safe within the Ice God’s Remains. He moved unhindered through the icy mist and soon disappeared into the clouds.
Olivia leaned against the wall with her arms crossed, glancing at the blond man.
“Don’t say I didn’t warn you, that Divine Half-dragon isn’t as simple as he appears. The fact that he’s still alive after so long undoubtedly means he has many hidden tricks up his sleeve.”
Ye Li Kong chuckled and said nothing.
Before coming here, he had already learned from Olivia’s brief remarks that the Divine Half-dragon could merge with that elemental nun to gain formidable combat power. Back in the Holy See, he had used this method to easily defeat old Oberon.
However, since spirit particles could not be activated here, the Divine Half-dragon and the elemental nun’s A-class fused spirit robe was completely unusable.
Mo Zixin could still use spirit robes through special means. Ye Li Kong could hardly imagine how the Divine Half-dragon could mount a dying struggle.
Although spirit artifacts were important for a spirit master, the true core of a spirit master’s combat power always lay in the combination and use of various spirit robes. Without the ability to use spirit robes, their combat power was reduced by ninety percent. Even if the Divine Half-dragon’s physical body was strong, he would have no chance of turning the tide.
“Rest assured, Olivia,” Ye Li Kong began to meditate again, saying indifferently, “If you’re afraid, you can leave first. I’ll notify you once everything is settled.” Seeing his confident demeanor, Olivia said no more, merely standing at the edge of the cabin, frowning as she looked down at the sky.
She indeed had some vague knowledge of the General Court’s affairs. Her survival now depended only on the deaths of Jiang Qiue and Cha Nai Xue. She just hoped these two fools would die peacefully.

Above the ice-covered ground.
Ice-blue shattered light and mist formed a magnificent and boundless sea of clouds. Mo Zixin descended, leisurely observing the surrounding scenery. This beauty, coupled with a few frozen beauties, would surely be a masterpiece if it could be painted.
As he mused, he quickly passed through the brilliant clouds and approached the ground. However, when he looked down and saw the scene below, the smile on his lips froze instantly!
He gazed down at the ice-covered land in astonishment.
Beneath the ice layer, a vast, giant shadow loomed, like an ancient, primordial beast crawling out of hell. It bared its blood-black claws and teeth, exuding endless death qi that permeated and devoured upwards.
Everywhere it passed was left with no survivors, turning directly into blood-black mist to join the hellish army, launching an even fiercer attack on the upper realm.
“Boom—Boom—!!”
The entire ice surface visibly collapsed over a large area, like a doomsday earthquake, sinking layer by layer. The surrounding ice mist swirled and condensed like a hurricane towards the ice layer, forming a new solid ice surface and rapidly covering it layer by layer, determined to block the hellish beast’s intrusion.
But it was futile.
The blood-shadowed giant beast was clearly more terrifying, gaining the upper hand in its confrontation with the heavenly ice, its offensive becoming even more ferocious. As the ice layer receded, the entire ground vibrated more violently.
Before Mo Zixin could react, the ground below exploded like an overloaded pot under extreme pressure!!!
A blood-black hellish beast roared out, unleashing endless bloodworms and soaring towards the sky. Its terrifying aura chilled the bone!
Mo Zixin then noticed that beneath the shallow layer of bloodworms, in the center of the black shadow, three women were embracing a boy. Flames of crimson wings burned around the four, soaring upwards like phoenixes undergoing Nirvana Rebirth.
Faintly, the cry of a phoenix echoed through the sky as they rapidly charged towards the heavens!!
“Damn it!” Mo Zixin’s expression changed drastically, and he turned to flee.
His body dispersed into three bats, flashing upwards and quickly disappearing under the cover of the clouds, leaving no trace.
“Coordinates, 82, 13, 45.” Cha Nai Xue established a three-dimensional coordinate system with herself as the origin, using the spirit artifact, the Eye of Naraka, to predict Mo Zixin’s next landing spot.
As she spoke, Jiang Qiue’s words manifested reality. Her figure vanished from the spot and instantly reappeared behind the coordinates Cha Nai Xue had mentioned.
Xia Feng’s mind moved, and using the Four Symbols Array, he teleported to follow closely behind.
Precisely one second later, Mo Zixin’s bat form flickered, coalescing into human form at the exact coordinates Cha Nai Xue had stated. Just as he was about to transform back into a bat and continue his escape, his expression turned to shock as he looked straight ahead.
The black-haired boy seemed to have been waiting there for a long time, standing behind the woman in the green dress, his back to Mo Zixin.
Mo Zixin felt a prickle of fear in his heart.
Before he could activate his spirit particles to form an A-class spirit robe, a large swarm of bloodworms surged out from the pillar of shadow that had teleported with the black-haired boy. They swarmed towards him like vengeful spirits and blood ghosts, grinning and extending countless pale, bloody hands.
“Damn it!” He cursed again in his heart. Fortunately, the great terror of impending death allowed him to unleash astonishing speed, constructing an A-class spirit robe with a speed he had never possessed before!
But just as he was about to complete the final stroke of the A-class spirit robe, his wide, terrified pupils twisted into golden swastika symbols, and his body was momentarily controlled by an unknown force!
That split-second difference was the boundary between life and death!
