After spending about seven or eight days on the thirteenth floor, Stone Demon appeared in front of the window again.
Yang Kai was just about to say something interesting, but seeing him appear, he wasn’t surprised and simply sneered, “Should i move down again?”
Stone Demon looked him up and down before raising his hand and giving him a big thumbs up, his face filled with admiration. No matter what, this fellow in front of him was definitely an extraordinary person. No one had ever been able to make a Saint Venerable repeatedly change her orders and increase the intensity of his punishment. From a certain perspective, this human had created a new era.
However, the 18th layer… even someone as strong as Stone Demon couldn’t help shuddering.
As usual, he took out his token and opened the ice prison’s barrier. There was no need for him to capture Yang Kai, so he simply gestured to him and Yang Kai walked out.
The surrounding Ice Prison had many strange and haggard faces, all of them Yang Kai’s loyal followers. Although they didn’t know what would happen to Yang Kai after he left, everyone knew that he was doomed.
There was no friendship between them, but after a few days of listening to Yang Kai’s story, they were able to enjoy themselves while waiting for death. Nodding slightly, they walked past each other.
The deeper they went, the colder the environment became.
Yang Kai silently recorded the number and asked, “What floor did I stay in before?”
The Stone Demon seemed to think that Yang Kai was dead for sure, so he didn’t try to hide anything and simply said, “This time, I’m sending you to the 18th floor!”
Yang Kai raised his brow, “Then how many floors are there?”
“The eighteenth floor is the lowest floor!” Stone Demon glanced at him.
Yang Kai bared his teeth, “Your Saint really thinks highly of me.”
The Stone Demon shook his head and sighed, “If you had known this would happen, you wouldn’t have acted so rashly. Let me give you a piece of advice, when you reach the 18th layer, find a place to sit down and don’t try to do anything, much less try to resist. This way, things will end faster. Oh right, your cultivation has been sealed so you won’t be able to resist anything.”
Yang Kai looked at him askance, “You think I’m dead for sure?”
Stone Demon smiled but didn’t comment. That was the 18th layer of the Nether Cold Ice Prison, if you could still survive there, it would truly be unreasonable.
Seeing what he was thinking, Yang Kai didn’t pay too much attention to it. He estimated that Bei Li Mo was just teasing him and wouldn’t really take his life, but he didn’t need to say anything to anyone else. Instead, he asked, “Is there anyone else on the eighteenth floor?”
“Yes!” Stone Demon nodded, “All dead!”
Yang Kai’s mouth twitched as he remained silent.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally arrived at the entrance to the eighteenth floor. Stone Demon didn’t even have the intention to send Yang Kai inside, instead simply opening the entrance with the token in his hand and looking at Yang Kai, he said, “Go in yourself.”
Yang Kai glanced at the entrance, but before he could even enter, he felt a bone-piercing chill. If he entered, he didn’t know how long he would be able to last. Thinking about his current strength, he wondered what the chances of him being able to kill this Stone Demon were. In the end, he was disappointed. With his cultivation sealed, he was definitely not Stone Demon's opponent. Of course, if he allowed his Embodiment to emerge from the Mysterious Boundary Bead, it would be easy to deal with this Stone Demon. Although Yang Kai’s cultivation was sealed and he couldn’t even open his Space Ring, his Embodiment could still escape from the Mysterious Boundary Bead.
However, Yang Kai wasn’t prepared to expose his cards to Bei Li Mo so soon.
Unable to resist, Yang Kai could only plunge his head in.
After Yang Kai stepped onto the eighteenth floor, the Stone Demon quickly sealed the entrance and left, seemingly unwilling to stay here any longer.
The 18th floor was a bit different from what Yang Kai had imagined. The previous 17 floors all had separate ice prisons, but this place did not have any ice prisons, but instead a vast white world.
As soon as he stepped into this place, Yang Kai felt his body tense up as a layer of frost covered his entire body. Moreover, it was becoming thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye. The omnipresent Ice Laws invaded his body through his pores, causing Yang Kai to feel a piercing pain as if he had been pricked by millions of needles. In just a few breaths of time, Yang Kai’s face had already turned blue and his lips had turned purple.
He quickly moved his body and broke the frost covering his body to avoid being frozen.
However, as soon as he moved, his expression couldn’t help changing, because he discovered that in this damned place, his thoughts seemed to be somewhat affected, and his thoughts seemed to spread throughout his body.
A chill ran down his spine as he realized that even his Soul could be affected by this 18th floor prison. Fortunately, he had the Soul Warming Lotus, so he didn’t need to worry about his Soul being frozen. A cold chill emerged from his mind as he resisted the chill that had invaded his Knowledge Sea, allowing his thoughts to become somewhat clearer.
It wasn’t until this moment that Yang Kai had the time to examine his surroundings. Speaking of which, there wasn’t much to see. There was no sign of life here, nor was there a single living person. All he could see was a vast expanse of white. There seemed to be something not far away, but he couldn’t see it clearly.
Yang Kai strode towards it and when he got closer, he found that it was an ice sculpture. It wasn’t an ice sculpture carved by someone, but rather a frozen corpse.
This was undoubtedly a Demon Race, but Yang Kai didn’t know which race he belonged to. Before he died, his expression was calm, as if he hadn’t experienced any pain, but Yang Kai knew that this guy’s Soul had been frozen, so he naturally couldn’t feel any pain.
As for the Demon Race that had been sent to the 18th layer, they were likely at least a High-Rank Demon King. It was really unclear what kind of mistake they had made to die here.
Looking around again, Yang Kai was shocked to find that there was an ice sculpture every so often, and each ice sculpture had a corpse inside it, some old, some young, some male, some female… roughly counting, there were thirty or forty of them, not counting those further away.
“This crazy woman!” Yang Kai bared his teeth. It was no wonder that Stone Demon had said that there were only dead people here, and they were truly dead. Even their Souls had been frozen, so how could they possibly survive?
Bei Li Mo wouldn’t really want him to die here, would she? Yang Kai’s heart was also somewhat nervous. Although she was a Demon Saint, she was still a woman after all. When a woman went crazy, there was no reason for her not to do so. Yang Kai was well aware of this point and secretly made up his mind that if he really reached a point where he couldn’t resist, he would let his Embodiment break through the World Barrier of the Mysterious Boundary Bead and drag him into it.
At that time, with the World Energy of the Mysterious Boundary Bead, he might be able to break the restriction Bei Li Mo had planted.
However, this way, the Mysterious Boundary Bead would definitely be exposed to Bei Li Mo’s eyes. If she were to snatch it, everything would be over.
In this lonely white world, Yang Kai could even hear his own heartbeat and breathing. There were no more listeners here that made him want to tell a story, so he kept moving his body to break the frost on his body while walking around.
Suddenly, Yang Kai’s expression changed.
He didn’t know if it was an illusion or not, but he felt like there was a pair of eyes staring at him. At first, he was a bit uncertain, but as time passed, this feeling became more obvious.
Yang Kai couldn’t help sneering in his heart. It seemed that Bei Li Mo really had no intention of killing him.
Even the Stone Demon guarding the Ice Prison didn’t want to enter this damned place, so there was probably no one else besides Bei Li Mo who could secretly watch him. As a Demon Saint, she should have some ability.
Realizing this, Yang Kai suddenly felt a little emboldened, and all his previous worries disappeared.
Looking around, Yang Kai took a deep breath and felt that his lungs were being pierced by the cold aura, almost freezing him, but at this moment, he couldn’t care less and began cursing.
It was still vulgar, and vicious…
Although he had scolded Bei Li Mo before, it was just a small scratch. Now that Bei Li Mo was paying attention to him, he would give her a good scolding in front of her and see how long she could endure.
Over the past few days, Yang Kai’s other skills hadn’t improved, but his scolding skills had improved greatly, causing him to feel somewhat disappointed and frustrated. For a grown man to curse so much, it really wasn’t something to be proud of…
After cursing for half a day, Bei Li Mo showed no reaction.
On the other hand, Yang Kai couldn’t hold on much longer. The 18th layer was indeed the 18th layer, and it was definitely not comparable to the 13th layer he had been in before. With his powerful physique, after half a day, his flesh and blood had been frozen, and even his previous injuries had not fully healed. On the contrary, they were showing signs of deterioration.
What surprised Yang Kai even more was that he didn’t even feel Bei Li Mo’s anger.
The cursing gradually weakened and even became somewhat weak. Yang Kai’s eyelids were covered in frost and he could barely keep his eyes open as he leaned against an ice sculpture, wailing in his heart. If Bei Li Mo didn’t show up soon, he was afraid he would really die and would have to have his Embodiment take action.
After secretly telling his Embodiment to see that the situation was not right, He would pulled him into the Mysterious Small World.
His consciousness became more blurry as his eyelids opened and closed repeatedly. Although his mouth was moving, no sound came out, and his entire body was covered in ice shards, as if he was being driven to become an ice sculpture.
But just as his consciousness began to fade, a cold force suddenly swept over Yang Kai’s body.
The frost covering Yang Kai’s body melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and an invisible force protected him from the interference and influence of the Ice Laws.
Yang Kai suddenly opened his eyes and chuckled, “I knew you wouldn’t do anything to this King!”
Slowly standing up, Yang Kai stretched his muscles and bones. With the protection of this power, the effects of the cold here were greatly reduced. Glancing around, Yang Kai coldly said, “Show yourself. Is there any point in sneaking around?”
