Chapter 1087 – False Death

Chapter 1087 False Death
In the moment Xu Chuniang opened her eyes, the ice, which was more than ten feet thick, “clicked” and a tiny crack appeared.

The crack appeared in the deepest part of the solid ice, and with her as the center, it was rapidly spreading outwards, splitting the entire piece of intact solid ice in two.

Immediately after that, several more “clicks” sounded, the cracks crawled all over the thick ice layer, and heavy frost and cold poured out from the cracks.

After the ice was split in four, the pressure on Xu Chuniang’s body was greatly reduced, and she finally moved.

At first, her movements were slow, and her exposed hands and feet were a bit unruly after being frozen for too long.

It wasn’t until she sent the earth laws protecting her heart veins and sinews to her flesh and muscles that her hands and feet gradually regained their senses.

It turned out that during the few days Xu Chuniang had been trapped in the ice prison, she had remained conscious from beginning to end, only deliberately creating the illusion of extinction of her vitality and the demise of her soul to make Long Yu misunderstand.

To forcefully break open the ice prison under Long Yu’s nose, not only did she have to consume a large amount of Chaotic True Qi, but she also had to be on guard against the other party’s attacks at all times, and even if she could win, she was bound to pay a terrible price.

Instead of fighting head on, it would be better to take the trick and fulfill his wish, after all, with the cultivation and strength she had shown, it would be reasonable and sensible for her to be trapped and die in this nine-tier ice prison.

After Xu Chuniang decided to fake her death, she didn’t struggle any more, on one side, she urged the Chaotic True Qi in her body to transform the Laws of Earth, protecting her heart, veins, bones and blood from frostbite, and on the other side, she collected her Qi and Soul Breath, creating the illusion that her vitality was dying.

This move really fooled Long Yu.

It was only because Xu Chuniang had fused the Demon Seed and the Fruit of the Dao and was able to perfectly astringe her body’s qi, and the Soul Talisman she knew happened to be able to hide her soul breath, that she was able to make a dangerous move.

If it were someone else, even if she had deliberately created the image of a fake death, there was still a high chance that she would reveal her flaws and be detected.

As for the last, the residual soul that Long Yu had drawn from the black stone before he left, it came from the Soul Locking Lamp.

From the moment she had gotten the Soul Locking Lamp, Xu Chuniang had already known that what Long Yu wanted, was her residual soul.

Therefore, after deciding to fake her death, she took the initiative to destroy the prohibitions in the Soul Locking Lamp, leaving only the innermost one to be slowly gnawed by the residual soul within it.

When the residual soul escaped from the soul locking lamp, she converged on the last trace of vitality and soul breath in her body, which really didn’t arouse Long Yu’s suspicion.

But what Long Yu didn’t know was that the residual soul he took away had been tampered with.

She separated a strand of her soul and mixed it into the residual soul, no matter how far away it was, as long as the black stone was not put away in the storage space, it would be perceived by her.

The Laws of Earth traveled through Xu Chuniang’s flesh and muscles several times before her frozen hands and feet began to warm up again, only because of the frostbite, the flexibility of her limbs was not as good as before.

She moved her somewhat stagnant hands and feet, not caring too much about it, having anticipated this situation when she decided to fake her death to get away.

Compared to forcibly breaking through the ice prison and having a hard encounter with Long Yu, this cost was almost negligible.

Xu Chuniang reached out, gripped the two pieces of solid ice in front of her, and followed the cracks in the ice, tearing it viciously!
As she did so, the ice shattered faster, the cracks widening, and a one-person wide opening appeared.

Xu Chuniang let go of her hand and slowly stepped out from the siege of cold ice, glancing back at the ice layer behind her that had lost its support and was slowly collapsing, closing her eyes and sensing it carefully.

In her senses, there was no trace of that divine soul.

Xu Chuniang wasn’t disappointed, Long Yu had suffered some serious injuries when he left, and in all probability, he had already left the Ice Thunder Valley, and was hiding somewhere relatively safe to heal his wounds, so he couldn’t flawlessly obtain memories from her “remnant soul”. With the degree of care he has for the technique, after he recovers from his injuries, he will definitely take out that black stone at the first opportunity to extract the memories of the residual soul.

At that time, Long Yu’s location would be obvious to her.

After figuring all this out, Xu Chuniang flashed and flew in the direction of the outside of the valley.

After the fusion of the Demon Seed and the Dao Fruit, her strength had increased greatly, and the Chaotic True Qi in her body was unheard of, but during the three days and three nights of being trapped in the Ice Prison, she had used the Laws of the Earth to protect her body at all times, and nine times out of ten of the Chaotic True Qi in her body had already been consumed.

She also had to hurry up and find a place to meditate and recover.

In the end, Xu Chuniang stopped at a certain distance away from the exit of the Ice Thunder Valley. Although Long Yu had mostly left the Ice Thunder Valley, there was no lack of possibilities for him to stay in the valley to heal his wounds, so to be on the safe side, it was better to be cautious and not leave the Ice Thunder Valley for the time being.

Compared to the depths of the Ice Thunder Valley, the Laws of Ice here are a little thinner, barely tolerable.

Xu Chuniang searched for a hidden mountain, casually opened up a cave, set up a boundary for early warning outside the cave, stepped into the room, took out the immortal crystals and began to absorb them.

After the fusion of the devil seed and the dao fruit, both the devil crystals and the immortal crystals could be easily absorbed by her.

It was only the efficiency of transforming magic qi and immortal qi into chaotic true qi that was terribly low, and it took her a day and a night and nearly 10,000 immortal crystals before the chaotic true qi in her body was able to recover 30% of its value.

Just as she was about to take out the Immortal Crystals to continue absorbing them, the trace of that divine soul suddenly appeared in her perception.

It was Long Yu, planning to refine the soul!
Xu Chuniang’s mind moved, and after sensing the location of the divine soul, she collected the Qi and soul breath around her body, left the cave, and flew towards the location of the divine soul.

This time, the person hiding in the shadows was replaced with her, hoping that Long Yu would not be too surprised when he saw her again.

Meanwhile, 100,000 miles away somewhere in the void, after dealing with the injuries around his body, Long Yu stared closely at the black stone in his hand, a flash of fire in his eyes.

According to reason, he should first return to Yuan City before slowly refining this remnant soul and extracting his memories, but he couldn’t wait any longer.

Moreover, in the Abyssal City, there were quite a few people watching his every move, instead, it would be better to act cheaply in the void.

Long Yu took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his eyes, and began to refine the residual soul in the black stone.

As he refined, a strand of black gas overflowed from the black stone, carrying unwillingness and resentment, falling into his palm …….

With the passage of time, the residual soul in the black stone was refined by Long Yu, and after the residual soul was refined, the stone carrying the residual soul regained its gray color and exploded with a bang.

Refining the residual soul was only the first step, extracting the memories from the residual soul was the most crucial.

Long Yu looked at the black shadow in his palm and was about to extract the memories when he suddenly sensed something, his brows furrowed slightly and he looked in a certain direction outside the formation.

An Extra-Terrestrial Heavenly Demon had discovered this place.

With a flip of his hand, Long Yu put away the remnant soul in his palm and flashed outside the formation.
