Outer world.
Wu Kexiu, Qin Minghe, and Long Niu Sanjiu did not know what major events had occurred in Chen Yun's Nuanwan Palace.
They saw only that after a few words, Chen Yun suddenly "exploded in anger" and activated the ice ring.
Instantly, a terrifying power surged.
An infinite and endless aura of freezing air froze almost all the matter within this land into ice and snow, then turned into a rolling white wave, surging towards Meilin in the sky.
With this ice ring treasure artifact, it seems that eliminating Meilin is just a matter of a moment.
What is puzzling is that although the power released by the ice ring artifact was earth-shattering, freezing the surface of the water in hundreds of miles around, their bodies were protected by a layer of colorful clouds and purple gas, and they were not affected by the cold air.
Since the ice ring artifact is so powerful, why did Chen Yun still use the layers of colorful clouds and purple gas to protect the crowd?
A group of people were stunned.
Wu Kexiu was the first to realize, "Mr. Chen is giving us time, everyone hurry and load up the magic crystals!"
Qin Ming also woke up immediately, "Right, the teacher must have foreseen that the ice ring artifact could not kill that old bastard, quickly everyone, quickly load up the magic crystals and then shoot at the old man's physical body!"
Long Niu Sanjiu, Ding Xu, Zhang Ling, and others heard the reminder and each one of them suddenly came to their senses.
Although everyone was perplexed, with the powerful force of the ice ring artifact, why Chen Yun still felt that he could not completely eliminate Meilin, but everyone knew that it was not the time to consider such problems.
They went mad filling the magic crystal stones.
Finally, at the moment the magic crystals were loaded, everyone witnessed a terrifying scene.
That vast snow and ice suddenly stopped at the very moment when it was about to touch Meilin's body, and instead, it collapsed into countless fist-sized ice blocks and snowballs, which fell from the sky in a heap.
"Has the ice ring artifact failed?"
"Really hasn't eliminated this old scoundrel!"
"Mr. Chen has predicted it correctly, he really has!"
Gao Chen and Xu Yang were stunned.
Upon seeing this scene, everyone realized the seriousness of the situation and knew that if they couldn't destroy Meilin with the magic crystal cannon, then not only was Chen Yun in danger, but they were also extremely likely to be slaughtered by the old scoundrel.
Fortunately, the magic crystal stones have been loaded.
Everyone quickly aimed the gun barrel at the floating Meilin in the high sky and then pressed down on the firing key decisively!
Boom!
A huge beam of light shot out of the mouth of the cannon at once!
The intense light energy was as bright as one hundred million suns, almost turning the moonlight and daybreak rush spring into daylight!
...
Within the Nuanwan Palace.
Meilin was still in disbelief, truly unable to believe that he had just used his powerful spirit force to crush Chen Yun's soul into smithereens, and yet the other party was still alive!
The next moment, Chen Yun, who had disappeared, appeared again.
This time, the appearance of Chen Yun was significantly less clear than his spiritual form before.
If the previous spiritual form was like a real person.
Then now, the one that appears looks somewhat blurred.
This is like someone watching a movie, starting with a frame rate of 60, and now switching to 180P.
However, although the "picture" became very blurry, this time Chen Yun gave Meilin a feeling of pure Yang scorching.
It seemed as if Chen Yun could instantly melt the spiritual power of Meilin upon contact!
Meilin saw this scene and finally believed that Chen Yun had not died!
He looked stunned and said: "How is that possible? How could it be?"
Chen Yun smiled and looked over, "There's nothing impossible, my Dao of the True Yuan Gate, which you evil and foreign beings cannot understand the secrets of!"
Meilin still showed no signs of giving up, smiling sinisterly again, "Fine! Since you managed to escape with a lucky chance just now, and now dare to appear before me again, then this time I will completely crush your soul, I want to see how many times you can re-coalesce your soul!"
With that, his spiritual power once again expanded and scattered, ready to instantly annihilate Chen Yun's spiritual essence!
Who would have thought that Meilin hadn't had a chance to make too many moves yet!
Chen Yun suddenly said with a mysterious smile: "I advise you not to make any rash moves, or your spiritual power will be instantly consumed when it touches my pure Yang scorching qi!"
Haven't you used all your true qi to control that ice ring artifact?
Meilin simply couldn't believe that Chen Yun had any remaining true qi inside him, ignoring it and wanting to expand and spread his spiritual power to crush the other party's soul.
But it didn't take long for his spiritual power to begin to expand and spread.
A sudden and intense burning pain shot through Meilin's soul from the depths!
"Agh!" Meilin screamed in agony, hastily retracting and concentrating his spiritual power.
He looked around in suspicion, and saw that at some point, Chen Yun's Nuanwan Palace had been filled with an infinite number of "true qi" swirling around, emitting an intense heat.
These "true qi" appeared colorless to the naked eye, but Meilin's spiritual power could see swirling golden mist permeating throughout the Huangting, almost completely filling it.
True Qi!
It's actually true qi!
Shouldn't his true qi have been used to control the ice ring artifact?
So Meilin chose the tactic of "changing a body" to let Chen Yun use the ice ring artifact to destroy his physical body, then using his spiritual power to destroy Chen Yun's soul and seize this body.
However, the development of the situation was completely beyond Meilin's expectations!
He was completely dumbfounded, truly not knowing why there would be so much true qi here.
At the moment when so much true qi appeared, Meilin's heart suddenly jumped, and his expression became anxious.
He knew that today he would definitely not be able to seize Chen Yun's body!
At this moment when Meilin's emotions were fluctuating rapidly,
Chen Yun suddenly seemed to be in a good mood and deliberately reminded Meilin: "If you don't return to your body now, your body will be destroyed in the next moment. And, you told me where your soul was hidden. If your body is destroyed, you will definitely be in a weak state for a while. At least, without a body, I can easily destroy the soul you hide in your magic wand!"
Upon hearing this, Meilin's heart suddenly shot up to his throat!
He knew that Chen Yun was right. Although the body of a lich could grow back after it was destroyed, it would take some time, and during this time, he would have no combat power.
If it were just this, Meilin would definitely not be worried at all.
After all, no one knows where his soul is hidden.
But now, the situation is different. He had been too overconfident, and he had actually told Chen Yun out loud what kind of magical container his own soul was hidden in.
This means that if Meilin's physical body is destroyed now, he will face total annihilation!
Although he didn't know why Chen Yun was so "kind-hearted" to remind him, the situation was too urgent, with no time left for Meilin to think at all.
He left a threatening remark, "Consider me ruthless! Once I return to my body, I will annihilate all of you!"
With that, Meilin's spiritual power retreated like a tide from Chen Yun's Huangting, and began to return to his physical body!
Seeing this scene, Chen Yun's spiritual essence laughed lightly, "Killing us to death? It's possible that when you regenerate your spirit force, your body will already be in pieces!"
He had already detected Meilin's secret!
It was just that he had no idea where the other party's soul was hidden before.
Now that he had heard it from the other party's mouth, he naturally knew everything about the situation.
Why did Meilin know the direction of Chen Yun's group and attack at the most dangerous time?
Why did the other party know that you have the ice ring artifact and actively encourage its use?
At this moment, Chen Yun finally understood that the other party had been around him all along, and his soul was hidden inside the magic wand.
Of course, he also finally clarified a long-standing mystery, that being why the "instrument spirit" of the magic staff had recognized almost every word in every magic book, but had said he didn't know the words in one particular treasure scroll.
It is likely that the magic book is the secret to becoming a lich!
This is an astonishing secret, which could give me an additional "out-of-body avatar"!
And, Chen Yun also judged that Meilin's physical body was not ordinary and could very well be the key to becoming an "out-of-body avatar."
Therefore, he couldn't let the magic crystal cannon completely destroy Meilin's physical body. At the very least, he had to preserve some of the body structure. Then, he could force Meilin's soul hidden in the magic wand to reveal the secret of a lich's "out-of-body avatar."
This was the reason why he "kind-heartedly" reminded Meilin to return to his body.
Thinking of this, Chen Yun hesitated not at all, and his spiritual essence immediately returned to the "divine position," regaining control over his body again.
...
Outside.
Chen Yun opened his eyes to see the heavens and earth illuminated by an intense, blinding light.
This blinding, intense light was too dazzling.
So dazzling that even his strong god consciousness couldn't penetrate through it, and he couldn't see the specific situation.
The same was felt by Wu Kejiu, Qin Ming, Long Nu Sanjiu, and the other forty or so companions of his.
After loading the magic stone, these people immediately pressed the launch button of the magic crystal cannon.
Instantly, the magic crystal stone erupted with a beam of light that was comparable to a forbidden incantation that could destroy heaven and earth!
The immense power of the beam, once it erupted from the cannon, instantly caused the wind and clouds to roil and change colors.
The thick layer of ice that had just been formed by the ice ring artifact, created by Meilin, was also instantly shattered by the terrifying energy of the beam.
Even more so, every inch of space the beam passed through was split into cracks.
It seemed as if the beam was about to blast the space apart!
The incredible power of the magic crystal cannon is simply breathtaking!
Even Chen Yun, Wu Kejiu, Qin Ming, and the others were shocked by the terrifying power of the magic crystal cannon.
Even Meilin, who knew the power of the magic crystal cannon, was so scared that his soul scattered upon regaining control of his body and opening his eyes.
He only saw a huge beam of light, with the terrifying power of destruction and obliteration, rushing towards him.
The magic crystal cannon was one of the most powerful "magical artifacts" in the magical realm, and its power was equivalent to that of a forbidden incantation!
Most crucially, the range of a forbidden incantation is relatively wide, dispersing its power over an area, while the power of the magic crystal cannon is more concentrated, forming a beam of light. In terms of small-scale or single-target destruction power, the magic crystal cannon might even surpass the forbidden incantation!
It was precisely because he knew the terrifying power of the magic crystal cannon that Meilin was so frightened when he saw the huge beam of light rushing towards him. He immediately activated his powerful defensive magic.
But before the flames could completely envelop his body, the beam had already shattered his defenses and engulfed his entire body in an instant!
Instantly, the heavens and earth were left with only the beam bursting forth in arrogance and might!
