Mo Fan started walking back to the entrance of the tunnel and noticed that many ice elemental treasures were scattered across the place. They shuddered and vanished as Mo Fan walked past them. Even though he was rescuing someone, the treasures scattered here were extremely important and valuable to him as well.
There was no way he was going to ignore them. He even deliberately slowed down his pace and scoured the place with his intent, looting it thoroughly. He hadn't paid attention before since he was fixated on saving the sleeping beauty in his arms, but now he realized this place was completely covered in ice. It felt like he had fallen into a world of ice and frost, magical and mesmerizing to look at. Qin Yu'er definitely matched the vibe of this place, giving it a touch of gracefulness.
Soon enough, he reached the entrance of the abyssal ravine once again. The ravine still extended far below into the earth. Mo Fan was tempted to further explore it but gave up the thought when he looked at the girl in his arms.
"Sigh... Forget it..." he muttered.
A cloud of flames emerged and illuminated the ravine. Mo Fan jumped on the flames, and just when he was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of something shining, reflecting his light from inside the ravine. The ravine was deep and unnatural. If Mo Fan was able to see something reflecting the light of his flames from this height, it meant it was quite big in size.
"On second thought..." Mo Fan flew deeper into the ravine.
As he travelled deeper, the cold and chill became unbearable even for him. His flames were being extinguished faster than he could cast them, and his casting speed was faster than instantaneous. The presence of ice element became so strong that he felt overwhelmed. But there was another presence just as strong in the deep, dark abyss: the shadow element.
Mo Fan noticed that other than the thing reflecting light, nothing else was reflecting it in the ravine. It felt as if he had fallen into a black hole. The presence of darkness slowly became even stronger than the ice element. Mo Fan felt a chill piercing his very soul, but he didn't stop. He grew even more excited the closer he got to the thing emitting such a strong aura of darkness.
Finally, he touched the ground, which was ice. The moment he touched it, his legs froze instantly, and his fire magic completely disappeared.
"Heuk–" Mo Fan felt out of breath! He felt as if he lost his oxygen supply!
The place was so cold and dark that it even lacked any presence of wind. It was devoid of oxygen.
Crack!
"Ugh..." Mo Fan grunted as a huge crack appeared on his legs when he tried to move. He immediately pulled Qin Yu'er closer to him, and a spatial barrier enveloped them.
Crack!
But it was not enough. When Mo Fan saw that even his barrier was being enveloped in frost, he dared not conserve his powers anymore.
A crimson glow furiously erupted from Mo Fan in all directions. The crimson glow was strong, overpowering the deep presence of darkness and illuminating the place.
Soon, eight Colossal soul mountains emerged and floated in the air above Mo Fan, further illuminating the place and dyeing it crimson. The vast power of the Sacred Evil God defied and ignored all rules, casting its dominance over the entire place.
"Vibrational insulation!" Mo Fan's body emitted a bluish silver glow and started vibrating.
The vibration became more and more intense with each passing second. Mo Fan's body, which had been unable to use the fire element anymore, started burning up again and began to emit heat. Slowly but surely, the strong frost on his legs melted, and he took a step forward.
With each step, the vibration became even more intense than before. Along with it, the heat he emitted became more intense. Waves of red started emanating from his body as he walked. His demon element, under the presence of the Sacred Evil God's power, was able to fully assert its dominance once more, no matter the conditions.
His Sacred Evil God's power defied the natural laws of nature and dominated them.
He soon reached the place that had reflected his light from above. It was a huge black crystal with purple runes running all over it. The crystal was floating in the air and was almost fifty meters in size. Even though Mo Fan was ten meters away from it, he felt an extreme chill piercing directly into his soul.
"The Night Amethyst!" Mo Fan exclaimed in surprise.
He had seen the crystal before when he tried to save Mu Bai's soul from the Night and Day Darkness King. He had come to the Tianshan Mountains in his previous life and stolen the Crystal from the Little Cub. But it was not this big, nor did it emit such overwhelming and supreme power.
The pressure emanating from the crystal was even more intense than a Shadow Elemental World Core. If he were not in his demonized state, he would not be able to withstand such pressure.
"Huh, what's this?" He noticed a dent in the ground below his feet.
He put the unconscious Qin Yu'er on his back and bent down to check what it was. He saw that it extended further away from the Night Amethyst crystal.
"There's More..?" He turned his head back to the crystal and soon saw seven more such dents on the ice ground, branching away from the Night Amethyst crystal in all eight directions.
Since Mo Fan's cultivation of Shadow Element right now was at the peak form, he didn't have any trouble seeing in the darkness.
Mo Fan's eyes widened in shock as he suddenly realized what it was.
It was a massive Octagonal Magic Formation. Mo Fan followed one of the linear dents on the ground and reached one of its eight corners.
The corner housed a world core—A Shadow Elemental World Core. The core emitted an extremely pure energy of darkness.
He saw the elemental world core with wide eyes. "That means the rest are also..." Mo Fan muttered.
He immediately checked the other corners as well, shocked beyond belief to find out that this was an Octagonal Magic Formation with the Night Amethyst in the centre and a Whopping Eight World Cores (Stamen of Earth) in each corners of the octagon.
Four Shadow Elemental World Cores and Four Ice Elemental World Cores, all with circular barriers around them to prevent their power from leaking outside.
He gulped.
"Why is there, such an Advanced Magic Formation in such a place? Just what is it used for?" Mo Fan was perplexed! He didn't understood why someone had placed these invaluable and priceless treasures just to support this formation.
Mo Fan saw that the nature of the magic formation was suppression. The Eight World Cores, the huge Night Amethyst crystal, and the Octagonal Formation were actually suppressing something.
He went ahead and stood right below the floating Night Amethyst Crystal, he looked around to see just what was it that this Magic Formation was suppressing! He then glanced at the frozen ice ground below the crystal and saw two pieces of bones.
One was red in colour, and the other was azure. The red bone was the skull of a creature, and the Azure bone seemed like wings.
Both bones were quite massive in size. They seemed like they belonged to two different creatures, but at the same time, they felt as if they were part of one creature. Even though the creature was dead and gone, the bones were still emitting a glowing radiance.
They were stuck, frozen inside the icicle ground. Mo Fan would have missed them if they were not under the Night Amethyst crystal.
