Chapter 570 6 Desires Mortal World Banner

"Found it."

Both of them felt delighted as they traversed the void. After several more days of journeying, they finally arrived before a stretch of ancient ruins.

Outside the ruins at this moment, countless demonic creatures, led by numerous Golden Core demon kings, had completely surrounded the site. Towering over heaven and earth was a Nascent Soul demon emperor, seemingly waiting for something.

"Let's not tangle here. Into the ruins first."

Eldrin spoke, then soared forth upon his immortal sword, hurtling deep into the ancient ruins.

The journey had been rushed, but Eldrin had still managed to briefly study the origins of the Frost Pavilion using the limited materials at his disposal.

The origins of the Frostwind Pavilion trace back to ancient times. Approximately several 1000 years ago, it stood as a premier sect of Nascent Soul cultivators. Legend has it that at its zenith, the lineage boasted 1 Great Perfection Nascent Soul cultivator and over a dozen Nascent Soul True Lords.

Alas, when the Northern Abyssal Sea's demonic tribes invaded that year, the Demon Sage Kunpeng beat its wings with a single strike that sank the 300,000-mile snow plains. The Frostwind Pavilion was utterly annihilated overnight, descending into the eternal frozen glaciers along with the submerged tundra.

Thereafter, the Northern Nether Sea demon tribes withdrew, yet the territory of the Frostwind Pavilion was seized by the demon emperors under the command of the Primordial Ice Silkworm.

Located deep within the demon clan's territory and long submerged beneath glacial depths, though many cultivators knew the general whereabouts of the Ice Snow Pavilion, few had dared to explore its ruins over the years.

Thus, the Snowfrost Pavilion still preserved quite a number of treasures, which was precisely why Lila (Person Name) had ventured here to seek them out.

She aspired to forge a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, yet this path was exceedingly arduous. Leaving aside the Heavenly Dao Qi (Spiritual Root), even the Ice Vein Spirit Jade and 3 ice-attribute Demon-Subduing Supreme Treasures were far too rare—utterly unattainable for an ordinary Golden Core cultivator.

Lila was truly in dire need of money. Without those heaven-defying opportunities, she had no choice but to embark on perilous ventures time and again. This was precisely why she risked provoking the Demon Emperor and daringly slew 9 Golden Core Demon Kings in succession.

This time, her whereabouts were betrayed by someone close to her. Not only was she intercepted by the Demon Emperor outside the Frostfire Pavilion, but she also fell victim to a covert scheme.

"Clang—"

A sword radiance flashed as Eldrin and his companion swept downward, instantly cutting through countless demon kings as they soared deep into the subterranean ruins.

Groups of demon kings sought to block the path, yet their expressions turned ashen when confronted with the Refining Demon Immortal Sword's keen edge. Even the Snow Eagle Demon Emperor watched with an icy gaze, unconsciously restraining the urge to beat his wings and strike.

"2 more human True Monarchs have arrived. It seems this battle is beyond my capability to handle alone."

The Snow Eagle Demon Emperor's gaze turned icy. After a final moment of contemplation, he sent out the message.

"Go deliver the message to the Snow Ape Demon Emperor and the Frost Shard Demon Emperor. Tell them to come at once..."

Eldrin had no idea how long they had flown. After traversing layer upon layer of eternal glaciers, the 2 finally arrived before the underground ruins.

The formation guarding these ruins had long been fractured and incomplete. While formidable enough to deter most Golden Core cultivators, it could no longer hold back a peerless True Monarch like Eldrin.

With a sharp clang, the sword radiance pierced through the formation, then carried Eldrin (Person Name) into the ancient ruins.

No sooner had Eldrin stepped into the ancient ruins than his divine sense swept through the void, instantly detecting 2 powerful auras locked in confrontation tens of thousands of miles away.

"Aurora the Frost-Souled (Person Name), you truly live up to being the 1 this True Lord has set his sights upon."

"In just 3 short months, you have managed to inherit the legacy of the Frost Pavilion. Such talent is something even I have rarely witnessed in my lifetime."

Deep within the ruins, a man with an icy countenance gazed ahead, a flicker of cruel delight flashing in his eyes.

Not far ahead, a woman of peerless beauty sat with her eyes downcast. Her figure was graceful and flawless, and she was draped in pristine white robes.

This person was none other than Lila. At this moment, her face pale, she was channeling her energy into a Glacial Spire Pagoda, continuously deflecting the man's attacks. Surprisingly, his assaults had yet to breach her defenses.

Seeing that the opponent could do nothing to her, Lila sneered coldly and remarked with a hint of sarcasm, "The formation here amplifies my power. With this treasure tower shielding me, I am impervious to all techniques."

"Give it up. With trash like you, breaching the Ice Soul Jade Tower's defense is utterly impossible."

"You—" Tengyun the Cloudrider (Person Name) turned pale, his gaze twisting into a snarl as he spat, "What a formidable Icy Soul Jade-Condensing Pagoda (Magic Treasure)! Truly worthy of being a superior spirit treasure—I can do nothing against it."

"Though this is unexpected, I came here today precisely for you. Did you truly believe I would arrive unprepared?"

"You—"

Lila (Person Name) suddenly realized something was wrong, feeling her cheeks flush crimson as an uncontrollable desire once again ignited within her.

"Finally noticed, have you?"

Tengyun the Cloudrider (Person Name) burst into laughter upon seeing his discovery of the anomaly. He produced a pink treasure banner, a sinister gleam in his eyes as he declared, "This treasure is named the Banner of 6 Desires in the Mortal Realm (Magic Treasure), a unique spiritual artifact of the Desire Demon tribe among the extraterrestrial demons."

Although the Banner of 6 Desires in the Mortal World was crafted from fragile materials, it could unleash the 6 Desires of the Mortal Realm. This energy could ignite a cultivator's magic power, transforming it into raw desire. The more refined and pure a cultivator's magic power was, the more difficult it became to suppress these desires.

"Moreover, it is colorless and odorless, making it utterly indefensible and inescapable. By the time you detect its presence, it will already be too late to evade its lethal grasp."

Tengyun the Cloudrider (Person Name) grinned with boundless greed, his eyes ravenous as they devoured the dazed beauty before him, his heart blazing with fervent desire.

Today, by obtaining this family, he would not only gain a peerlessly gifted dual cultivation cauldron, but also acquire that priceless Heavenly Dao Qi (Spiritual Root).

At this thought, Tengyun the Cloudrider (Person Name) sneered coldly and declared, "Fair maiden, ever since you snatched the Heavenly Dao Qi (Spiritual Root) from my grasp all those years ago, I vowed to make you my exclusive possession."

"To think that today I would not only obtain you, but also inherit the legacy of the Ice Snow Pavilion. Truly, the fates have aligned for this Sovereign."

"Rest assured, I have cultivated the dual cultivation art 6 Desires Ancient Scroll. It will surely transport you to ecstatic heights, making you my cherished companion in the bedchamber from this day forth."

"How dare you!"

Suddenly, the peerlessly beautiful woman's gaze cleared in an instant, then brimmed with undisguised killing intent.

Gripping the Frostjade Spire, she steadied her resolve and declared, "Then we shall perish together."

Lila declared, immediately forcing the activation of the Ice Soul Condensed Jade Tower. She intended to detonate the underground ice vein using this superior-grade spiritual treasure array device.

For a moment, the mountains shook and the earth quaked, even the eternal glaciers that had stood since antiquity began to tremble.

No!

Tengyun the Cloudrider's face paled in horror. The underground ice veins beneath the Frostpeak Pavilion (Sect Name) were of the supreme fifth-grade quality. Already severely damaged and highly unstable, they would erupt catastrophically if detonated.

Deep within the earth's core, they faced the imminent eruption of the subterranean ice veins with no path of retreat, bearing the full brunt of the infinite terrestrial forces that obliterated all in their wake.

At the final moment, Lila gritted her teeth, gathered her remaining strength, and prepared to unleash her attack.

"Eldrin (Person Name), how I loathe that I cannot walk with you till journey's end."

She murmured to herself, but in that very instant, a familiar aura swept from afar, sending a tremor through her heart.

Clang—

A dazzlingly brilliant sword radiance soared through the air, carrying an indomitable, unforgivable resolve of lethal intent as it cleaved directly toward the head of Tengyun the Cloudrider (Person Name).
