C342 The Frozen Time

The veiled woman's proposal was exactly what Ye Heng was thinking, so he agreed without any hesitation.

After making the decision, Ye Heng and the veiled woman immediately took action.

"Ceng. . . Ceng. . . Ceng. . . "

Ye Heng jumped and immediately started running on the ice pillar as if he was walking on flat ground. It did not take long for him to reach the bottom of the first section of the giant turtle snake tail map.

On the other side, the veiled woman had also arrived at the ice pillar at the bottom of the tail.

After standing at the bottom, Ye Heng clearly discovered that there was an extremely tiny hole at the indentation of the head.

Seeing this scene, Ye Heng could not help but confirm the conjecture in his heart.

In the next moment, Ye Heng's feet stomped on the ground, and his body shot towards the hole like an arrow leaving a bow.

Just as he was about to get close to the ceiling, Ye Heng clenched his fist and punched at the small hole.

However, something shocking happened.

His fist was like a sponge. Oh, no. To be precise, it was like a swamp. It was easy to get out, but difficult to get out. Moreover, it felt like he was sinking deeper and deeper.

Surging Yuan energy suddenly erupted around his body. Ye Heng tried to use this to shake off the thing that bound his right fist.

However, not only did it not work, it also increased the speed at which he was swallowed.

Two breaths later, Ye Heng was completely sucked into that place.

On the other side, the veiled lady who was just about to attack like Ye Heng was frightened when she saw this scene. She hurriedly scattered the Yuan energy that she had gathered.

It was really too strange!

However, when the veiled woman thought of Ye Heng's help to her, she naturally would not abandon Ye Heng just like that.

After a few flashes, the veiled lady arrived at the ice pillar that Ye Heng was standing on earlier.

Even if she couldn't help him much, the veiled lady still hoped to help Ye Heng, even if it was just a little bit.

Apart from Ye Heng's kindness of saving her several times, the most important thing was that Ye Heng was the first person who didn't feel disgusted when he saw her face.

"Ha. . . "

The veiled lady shouted softly. A short dagger emitting a cold light appeared in her hand once again. As she waved it, it pierced towards the ceiling with a terrifying force.

Unfortunately, the veiled woman was disappointed when her attack landed on the ceiling. It was as if a stone had sunk into the sea, and it did not have any effect at all.

After that, the veiled woman launched several more attacks, and even used martial techniques, but the result was the same.

All of a sudden, a deep feeling of helplessness climbed into the veiled woman's heart.

Her strength was still too weak.

Although she was considered a genius in the East Moon Empire, in the eyes of those true geniuses and demons, she wasn't even qualified to carry their shoes.

The veiled lady made a rough estimation in her heart. Even if she were to fight Ye Heng, she was afraid that she wouldn't even have a ten percent chance of winning.

The strength that Ye Heng had displayed was enough to make the veiled lady unable to fight back, not to mention whether Ye Heng had hidden any other strength.

Thinking of this, the veiled lady couldn't help but hate herself for being so weak.

Then, the veiled woman tried to enter that place like Ye Heng.

However, to her disappointment, the result was the same.

Suddenly, the veiled woman recalled that there was more than one strange thing about this huge turtle snake tail diagram. Perhaps another place could be drilled into as well.

Thinking of this, the veiled woman did not hesitate at all and once again rushed to the area where she had previously stood.

Raising her head to look at the depression, the veiled woman's eyes flashed with a trace of determination.

Then, she saw the veiled woman's body fly straight towards the concave area.

In the next breath, the veiled woman disappeared into the ceiling just like Ye Heng did before.

As for Ye Heng, who had entered the ceiling, it was as if he had arrived in a world of ice sculptures.

At a glance, it was an ice sculpture with no end in sight.

There were ice sculptures that looked like humans and ice sculptures that looked like Strange Beasts. Each of them had different forms.

Even if they were both human ice sculptures, there was still a huge difference between individuals and individuals.

There were ice sculptures that looked like normal human ice sculptures, and ice sculptures that were more than 50 to 60 feet tall that looked like small giants. There were even ice sculptures with Strange Beast ears or some parts of the body.

As for those Strange Beast ice sculptures, there were all kinds of strange things. There were Strange Beasts that were as tall as a small mountain, and there were also little kittens that were not dangerous at all. There were also terrifying pythons with seven heads.

Ye Heng roughly estimated that there were probably more than ten thousand of these ice sculptures.

Although these ice sculptures were very different, they had a common characteristic.

That was, they were extremely lifelike.

They were so realistic that it was as if they were humans and Strange Beasts that were truly sealed in ice.

Out of curiosity, Ye Heng stretched out his hand and touched the ice sculpture of a normal human being that was close to him.

Although this human ice sculpture looked no different from an ordinary human, the attentive Ye Heng's ears were much sharper than an ordinary human's.

The clothing worn by this human was also very different from the current world.

Upon closer inspection, Ye Heng could even see the expression on this human ice sculpture's face. It was a look of extreme despair.

In the next moment, Ye Heng's palm touched the ice sculpture.

"Puff. . . Ka. . . "

When Ye Heng's palm landed on the ice sculpture, a shattering sound echoed in Ye Heng's ears.

Immediately after that, cracks appeared on the surface of the human ice sculpture in Ye Heng's line of sight.

Furthermore, as time passed, more and more cracks appeared on the surface of the human ice sculpture. In the end, the cracks even spread to the entire ice sculpture.

"Crack. . . "

Following the final clear cracking sound, the human ice sculpture suddenly exploded and turned into countless ice shards that shot in all directions.

After seeing this scene, a trace of astonishment flashed in the depths of Ye Heng's eyes.

"No way. Can't I touch these ice sculptures? With just a slight touch, all of them collapsed. "

At the same time, a clear and melodious voice rang in his ears.

"Ding. . . Bell. . . "

That was the sound of metal falling onto the ground.

Ye Heng subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound. In the middle of his line of sight, at the place where the human ice sculpture was, there was a silver metal ring spinning around.

Could it be that it was a physical object?

This doubt in Ye Heng's heart: The next one would be revealed.

With doubt, Ye Heng grabbed the silver metal ring on the ground.

It was not an illusion. Ye Heng had indeed caught the silver metal ring. It felt real in his hand.

"Wait, could this be a Storage Ring?"

Ye Heng could not help but reveal a look of joy when he thought of this possibility. The excitement in his eyes kept flowing.

In the next moment, Ye Heng did not hesitate at all. His spiritual energy penetrated through his body and poured into the silver metal ring, wanting to open it.

Ye Heng's spiritual energy entered the silver metal ring without any hindrance. It was indeed a Storage Ring.

However, before he could check what was inside, a voice rang in his ears. At the same time, his spiritual energy repelled a powerful force.

"Crack. . . Bang. . . "

Ye Heng, whose spiritual energy was ejected by the silver Storage Ring, did not understand what had happened at the beginning. However, when his gaze fell on it, he immediately understood.

He saw that the silver Storage Ring, which was lying in Ye Heng's hand intact earlier, had shattered into a pile of sand at this moment.

Along with a gust of cold wind that whistled over, it completely disappeared from Ye Heng's palm.

"This. . . "

The joy on Ye Heng's face froze on the spot.

Nothing could withstand the corrosion of time, even the Storage Rings that were sealed in ice.

Presumably, these were Storage Rings that had been sealed in ice for thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years.

In this extremely long river of history, the Storage Ring had reached the end of its lifespan.

In the beginning, this silver Storage Ring was still able to maintain its basic form, but that was because the effect of the ice still existed.

When Ye Heng's spiritual energy entered it, it directly chased away the effect of the ice seal, which was why this silver Storage Ring directly shattered.

It was just like the last rays of light before a human's death, it was just an illusion.

After noticing this point, Ye Heng could not help but feel a little disappointed in his heart.

If this Storage Ring could still be opened, Ye Heng's future path of martial arts would be smooth sailing.

After all, those who were sealed in ice for thousands of years or tens of thousands of years would definitely have something extraordinary hidden in their Storage Ring.

Moreover, the thing that was extremely ordinary tens of thousands of years ago had arrived. Now, it could be said that it was an extremely precious treasure, or even a rare treasure.

Unfortunately, the lifespan of the Storage Ring had long disappeared in the long river of history.

The things inside the Storage Ring had completely disappeared along with the scattering of the Storage Ring.

At the same time that he felt a little disappointed, Ye Heng knew why these ice sculptures in his line of sight were so lifelike.

Because, how could these be ice sculptures? They were real humans and Strange Beasts that were frozen.

In other words, what Ye Heng saw at this moment were all things from thousands or tens of thousands of years ago.

After noticing this, Ye Heng's eyes could not help but reveal a trace of shock in the depths of his eyes.

One should know that even if Ye Heng used his eyes to look at these human and Strange Beast ice sculptures, he could still feel how powerful they were.

This was definitely not a power that could be felt from an Essence Image Stage warrior. Only those who were at the Essence Heart Stage or above could have such power.

However, Ye Heng's intuition told him that the humans or Strange Beast who were frozen here were probably even stronger than the Essence Heart Stage warriors when they were alive.
