Within the true territory of Mount Everest lies the secret, and this place is called "Snow Domain," overseen by a powerful ice demon who self-proclaims as the "Snow Domain Master"!

Honestly, when Ye Tianchen and the burly man with the sword pretended to be defeated by ten snowmen and were frozen into ice pillars by the powerful ice energy, then taken deep into the Snow Domain, they met this so-called "Snow Domain Master," who turned out to be just a strong ice demon. The cultivation realm of this ice demon was at the early-stage Martial Saint. With the combat strength of either Ye Tianchen or the burly man with the sword, they could subdue it, but when they made their move, they realized that this powerful ice demon was far from easy to defeat as imagined; its combat power seemed to be above its cultivation realm!

Boom!

Boom!

Ye Tianchen and the burly man with the sword both stepped back two paces because in front of them, ice blades kept coming at them. These ice blades were so formidable that they enough to tear through the void. Truly, they couldn’t underestimate them, and had no choice but to step back two paces. Meanwhile, this powerful ice demon sat on its throne, sneeringly saying, "I hadn’t expected that after so many years, martial artists from the Human Clan have grown so strong, truly beyond my expectations!"

"Damn it, this ice demon is babbling nonsense, brother, step aside a bit, let me deal with it!" the burly man with the sword cursed uncomfortably.

"Be careful, brother, this ice demon’s power is not to be underestimated!" Ye Tianchen reminded.

"Don’t worry, brother knows what he’s doing, you step back a bit and revive that little bear first!" the burly man with the sword said, looking at the Little Black Bear still frozen beside him.

Ye Tianchen thought for a moment and looked again at the Little Black Bear, continually frozen into an ice pillar beside him, and could not help but frown slightly. The ice energy was indeed very powerful, and if delayed like this, the Little Black Bear might be annihilated, and that wouldn’t be good. Moreover, with the burly man with the sword’s strength, he should be able to subdue this ice demon, but it would just take a bit of effort! 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Thinking of this, Ye Tianchen directly moved the ice pillar beside him to one side, slowly placed one hand on it, and a powerful surge of Martial Arts True Qi emerged, enveloping the entire ice pillar and slowly melting it away!

While Ye Tianchen was rescuing the Little Black Bear, the burly man with the sword and the ice demon had already started battling fiercely on the other side. To be honest, when Ye Tianchen and the burly man with the sword were forced back by the ice demon, neither had exerted their full strength. Had they gone all out, it wouldn’t have been like this, and now the burly man with the sword was certainly exerting his full strength, definitely not underestimating this ice demon.

Swoosh!

The burly man with the sword struck, immediately drawing the Big Saber Treasure from his back, and instantly attacked the ice demon. The ice demon was very domineering and aggressive, perhaps thinking that in this Snow Domain, it ruled, and no one could defy it. It absolutely would not tolerate opposition, so it also waved its right hand, instantly sending a powerful ice blade slashing toward the burly man with the sword!

Thud!

With a dull sound, two powerful sword energies clashed together, causing the burly man with the sword and the ice demon to both frown slightly, perhaps neither had expected the strength of their opponent to be this mighty, not weaker than themselves.

"Humph, I didn’t expect you martial artists who invaded the Snow Domain to have some skill!" the ice demon snorted coldly.

"Cut the chatter, obediently submit to me, answer what I ask, or else you’ll suffer!" the burly man with the sword fiercely replied.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The burly man with the sword and the ice demon both refused to compromise and immediately charged at each other. The burly man’s treasure was a saber, while the ice demon’s treasure had also formed into an ice blade. Treasure against treasure, they battled fiercely, the sky turned dark and wild winds surged, snowflakes danced in the air, making Ye Tianchen stunned; the strength of these two was evenly matched, and to determine a winner, the result couldn’t be decided in a short time!

"Oh dear, I finally escaped death, it wasn’t easy!" the Little Black Bear said, face filled with distress, panting heavily and feeling lingering fear.

"Your life was saved by me, so you’ll listen to me from now on, or else I’ll take it back!" Ye Tianchen glanced at the Little Black Bear and said.

"I... You two guys are just too ruthless, not considering my life as a life at all. You pretended to be defeated and got caught, which is fine, but why did you have to bring me along? I’m innocent, you know! Plus, with my current cultivation, if we delayed any longer earlier, I would’ve been completely obliterated!" complained the Little Black Bear, quite displeased.

"What are you yelling about? If it weren’t for me saving you, you’d be dead by now, you realize? Besides, it’s not a human life you’re talking about, it’s a bear’s life!" Ye Tianchen teased.

The Little Black Bear glared fiercely at Ye Tianchen, yet was helpless. It knew that if it dared to shout again, Ye Tianchen wouldn’t hold back and would definitely teach it a lesson. Moreover, in this place, and considering the Little Black Bear’s cultivation realm, it’s indeed not the time to act arrogant. Even if Ye Tianchen and the big guy with the saber didn’t step in to deal with him, the Little Black Bear wouldn’t dare mess around here, as the Ice Demon is definitely not to be trifled with; a slight misstep could cost one their life!

"Can this big-bearded guy really defeat the Ice Demon? It looks a bit uncertain to me!" the Little Black Bear commented while watching the fierce battle between the big guy with the saber and the Ice Demon.

"I say, what’s the mischievous scheme you’re thinking about now?" Ye Tianchen asked the Little Black Bear.

"What do you mean by mischievous scheme? I’m thinking, shouldn’t we be doing something right now..." the Little Black Bear said with a cheeky grin.

"Doing something? What would that be?" Ye Tianchen asked, a bit puzzled.

"You, being so smart, how could you not think of these things? Think about it, this Ice Demon is the Snow Domain Master, controlling the entire domain, so within it, everything is under its control. It doesn’t make sense that it wouldn’t have cultivated for a long time here and have no cultivation resources, right? That’s impossible; otherwise, it wouldn’t have such powerful strength. We should search around..." As the Little Black Bear spoke, a sly smile crept onto its face.

"I say, your head is full of despicable ideas, huh? Is this really okay?" Ye Tianchen asked, glancing at the Little Black Bear with disdain.

"Fine, let’s pretend I didn’t say anything. I heard that in the Extremely Cold Land, particularly within this kind of Snow Domain, there might be a kind of ’Ice and Snow Divine Lotus,’ that’s some good stuff..." The Little Black Bear couldn’t help but salivate a bit as it spoke.

"Ice and Snow Divine Lotus?" Ye Tianchen asked, frowning.

"Yes, it’s something as precious as an Immortal Elixir; even if not for life extension, it’s much more potent than ordinary Spiritual Medicine Divine Grass. If we could get one, it’d be fantastic!" The Little Black Bear appeared to be in high spirits, as if the Ice and Snow Divine Lotus were right in front of it.

"Wishful thinking!" Ye Tianchen retorted with a hint of irritation.

"I... Hey, where are you going? What are you doing?" the Little Black Bear asked, still uncomprehending, as Ye Tianchen began to walk around, unleashing a powerful Divine Thought, seemingly conducting a thorough search.

"Nothing to do, just wandering around!" Ye Tianchen replied earnestly.

"Damn! I knew you were not a good guy either; caught you red-handed, didn’t I? Take me along, you can’t just leave me behind!" The Little Black Bear hurried to catch up!

To Ye Tianchen, of course, he wasn’t someone with a dull personality. It’s crucial to know that cultivation resources in the Martial Arts World are extremely rare, especially on Earth, a place gradually becoming less suitable for cultivation. Finding any cultivation resources is seriously challenging. Therefore, even if the Ice and Snow Divine Lotus that the Little Black Bear spoke of isn’t found, getting some resources is always beneficial!

The Little Black Bear’s reasoning isn’t without merit. This area is originally the territory of the Ice Demon, which controls the entire Snow Domain. The domain might not seem large, but the things hidden within are unknown. Especially around where the Ice Demon resides, it wouldn’t be without cultivation resources, right? On Earth, cultivation has long become unsuitable; this enclosed part of Mount Everest is not even as good as the three Ancient Martial Worlds. Yet, the Ice Demon’s cultivation realm isn’t weak; it’s reached the Early-stage Martial Saint, with combat power exceeding its cultivation realm. How could it achieve this without good cultivation resources?

Therefore, Ye Tianchen wouldn’t miss this golden opportunity. Right away, he unleashed his powerful Divine Thought. Even if he couldn’t search the entire Snow Domain, at least the area where the Ice Demon resides couldn’t be overlooked; there ought to be some discoveries!

Who would’ve thought, after an hour, Ye Tianchen’s expression changed completely, looking displeased at the Little Black Bear: "You said there are good things here, where are they? Where’s the Ice and Snow Divine Lotus? Only saw snow, where’s the shadow of the Divine Lotus?"

"I say, it’s not fair to blame me for not finding anything here. How would I know whether anything can be found? You claimed not to be that kind of person, yet you’re blaming me now for not finding anything..." the Little Black Bear grumbled.

Bang!

Ye Tianchen smirked mischievously and kicked the Little Black Bear flying. The Little Black Bear wasn’t prepared and crashed heavily onto the ground, hitting its head against something, leaving it bleeding profusely...(To be continued.
