Chapter 320: The picture shows the dagger
The Frost Dragon is currently in very poor physical condition; this is his weakest state. It is truly a good opportunity for the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor to attack him at this moment.
But the Frost Dragon was not afraid. The pet contract on him was almost broken, and with the power of faith he had collected over the years, the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor couldn't do anything to him.
Moreover, if the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor do not increase their efforts to seal the Fire Demon, the Fire Demon will immediately emerge.
However, if they were to say that, it would consume a lot of energy.
As expected, as the Frost Dragon withdrew its faith power, the Fire Demon immediately noticed the anomaly and began to frantically attack the seal.
However, it didn't appear instantly; after all, the seal still contained energy left behind by the sacred artifact.
However, given the current situation, the Fire Demon will appear in less than a minute at most.
The Ice Empress and the Snow Empress themselves hadn't expected the Frost Dragon to react so quickly. They had even prepared methods to shield the power of faith, but before they could use them, the Frost Dragon had already extracted a significant amount of their sealing power.
But that doesn't matter.
So much faith power isn't something you can just extract all at once; a lot of faith power remains there, but it's no longer being sealed away.
Under normal circumstances, it would be extremely difficult for them to seal the fire demon while simultaneously dealing with the frost dragon; it would be practically impossible.
Even though the Frost Dragon is very weak now, he still has a lot of faith power at his disposal.
Fortunately, the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor were prepared. They immediately began to activate the sacred artifacts, using them to increase their power, seal the Fire Demon, and slow down its progress.
At the same time, they also began to sacrifice creatures within the Ice Empire to obtain energy from them in order to fight and control the Frost Dragon.
Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor said, "Is that so? I'd like to see what kind of strength you have. You don't think that we can't survive in this world without you, do you? You're just a pet of the Snow Queen."
The reason you didn't die back then wasn't because you were powerful, but because you were too weak.
Who knew that you would actually obtain a way to collect the power of faith.
The energy left behind by the Ice Queen can reduce some of the consumption, allowing you to take charge of sealing the Fire Demon.
Who would have thought that you, my pet, would actually want to betray me?
Today, let us help the Snow Queen subdue you.
The sacred artifact appeared directly above the head of the frost dragon. This was a true sacred artifact, emanating an incomparably strong pressure that directly suppressed the frost dragon.
"Impossible, how is this possible? How could you possibly know so much?"
The Frost Dragon was shocked to discover that the pet contract, which had been tattered, was now rapidly recovering.
The Frost Dragon also realized that it had no way to leave this place.
Moreover, even his power of faith was affected, unable to quickly return to his body.
This startled and frightened the Frost Dragon.
However, he didn't despair too much, and he quickly came to his senses.
"You almost fooled me. Do you think I don't know that the Fire Demon will come out soon? Even if you use some methods, you can only delay it for a while. At most, it will be less than ten minutes before the Fire Demon comes out."
Even if I'm no match for you and can't kill you, I should be fine if I fight with all my might and hold out for ten minutes, right?
"Then, you people can just wait to die."
The Frost Dragon could sense the situation at the Fire Demon's location.
The Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor said, "If it were just our strength, holding out for ten minutes would indeed be our limit. But we have other trump cards. By utilizing the life energy of these citizens, we can leverage even more sacred artifact energy. Holding out the Fire Demon for an hour and a half shouldn't be a problem."
Subduing you within such a long period of time is even less of a problem.
A pet like you should just stay a pet for life.
You actually want to break free from control?
Don't worry, we won't treat you unfairly.
If we can become Saints, we will definitely help you become a Saint as well.
After all, you're also our mother's pet; I'll treat you well when I go out.
This scene was witnessed by people throughout the entire country.
This was something they hadn't expected.
In particular, within the Ice and Snow Empire, many people are disappearing into thin air, turning into golden light and entering the sacred artifact.
After witnessing this scene, they were all filled with immense fear. They wanted to escape, but discovered that even humans in this country could not leave without any warning; it was all random, and no one knew they would be absorbed.
A country that was relatively stable before suddenly became incredibly chaotic.
This is even more frightening than before.
No matter what kind of invader it is, it is impossible for them to directly attack all the people in an entire country.
They still have the ability to resist.
But the current situation is different.
"What's going on? Why are we being absorbed by the sacred artifact? Why are the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress attacking us?"
"Ice Empress and Snow Empress, are they researching a secret killing move with the Frost Dragon? How could this suddenly change? It seems they've had a conflict? How is this possible?"
"What should we do? We can't run away. Who can save us?"
This scene left Song Ci, the Fire Demon, and the Saint-level Toad all deeply shocked.
This was something none of them had anticipated.
The Fire Demon was quite excited after witnessing this scene; clearly, he knew what was going on.
The Fire Demon said, "So that's how it is. The Ice Empress and the Snow Empress actually want to control the Frost Dragon. If they succeed, they might even directly attempt to reach the Saint level. This time, we're really in trouble."
I'll probably need another half hour before I can leave this seal.
It has to be said, the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor are far too ruthless. They directly sacrificed the humans within the Ice and Snow Empire. If this trend continues, the entire human population of this country will be wiped out before I even have a chance to intervene.
If they succeed, Song Ci, you'll be in danger.
Previously, the Ice Queen was also just one step away from advancing to the Saint level.
With the legacy left by the Ice Queen, it seems they really have a chance to reach the Saint level.
Song Ci, you now have two choices. One choice is to give me the Saint-level Dragon Blood Fruit so that I can break through the seal ahead of time and ruin their plan.
Another option is for you to act now, go there yourself, and disrupt their operation.
The golden toad said, "My goal is that sacred artifact. I don't know where the Ice Queen obtained it. Luckily, she didn't grow to the point where she could become a Saint. If she had broken through to the Saint level, my world would have been in danger."
Currently, the toad world has enough to invade this world, but it's not enough for me to descend upon it.
If they succeed, I'm a little worried that they might break through to the Saint level ahead of schedule.
"Or, shall we attack together now?"
At this moment, Song Ci's brows were furrowed. Song Ci was currently cultivating, preparing to break through to reach the advanced level of a superhuman.
Song poetry has also reached a critical juncture.
He didn't want to give up like this.
However, the current situation is also very troublesome. He now has a deep understanding of the power of the Frost Dragon, and if they succeed, it will pose a huge threat to Song Ci.
It would be virtually impossible for Song Ci to kill them.
However, this was also a good opportunity for Song Dynasty poetry.
That is, Song Ci can use them to deal with the Fire Demon and the Saint-level Toad.
The more powerful Hyotei and Yuki-tei are, the more likely they are to kill these enemies.
But this requires Song Ci to be carefully hidden. Song Ci will also become a target for Hyotei and Yuki-tei.
In the end, Song Ci decided that she would not interfere with Hyotei and Yukitei.
Song Ci said, "I've reached a critical moment. If you want to cause trouble, then do it yourselves. That's the stronghold of the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor. They can unleash even greater power there. I'm preparing to break through."
Song Ci didn't care what happened to the Saint-level Toad and the Fire Demon; he just stayed there cultivating.
Next, it won't be Song Dynasty poetry's turn to shine.
Song Ci poetry was already prepared to be completely hidden away.
Let them kill each other for now.
It is absolutely impossible for them to find the location of Song Ci.
The Saint-level Toad and the Fire Demon both felt angry and indignant after hearing Song Ci's words.
But he had even considered taking advantage of this opportunity to make a move against Song Ci and seize what Song Ci currently possessed.
Finally gave up.
Because this is too difficult.
They are currently just clones with limited strength. Even if they can temporarily increase their combat power, they still cannot kill Song Ci in his current state.
As a result, they had no choice but to temporarily abandon their attack on Song Ci, but they did not give up on attacking the Frost Dragon, the Ice Emperor, and the Snow Emperor.
Since they couldn't get help from Song Ci, they had to find another way.
And so, the Saint-level Toad and the Fire Demon began to talk.
The Fire Demon said, "How about we cooperate? You help me break the seal ahead of time and leave it. Then, I will help you invade this world. This world is quite large, enough for us to divide up. If we can kill Song Ci, you can have most of the resources he possesses. Even if you don't help me, it's only a matter of time before I leave."
The Saint-level toad said, "I can help you, but you're wrong. I need all the Saint-level resources that Song Ci possesses. As for this world and its creatures, I can give them all to you. I have no interest in these humans."
Even if you grow out of the seal, there's no guarantee of success.
If they complete their control ahead of time, they will seal you away.
When they join forces, it won't be so easy for you to get out.
But I'm different.
Our Toad Realm has been invading this world all along. Even if they unite, they can only be invincible within their own countries. It is absolutely impossible for them to control the entire Frigid World.
If you're willing to agree, I can let you out earlier.
But we still need to sign a contract first.
Although this contract may not be very effective for you, it does have some limitations.
The Fire Demon agreed without hesitation.
This is very good news for the Fire Demon.
No matter what the situation, as long as he can leave early, everything will be fine.
If the Fire Demon can devour the Ice Emperor, Snow Emperor, and Frost Dragon before the Saint-level Toad arrives, and also consume a lot of life forms, then the Fire Demon will be very powerful, and may even have a chance to kill the Saint-level Toad.
We absolutely must not let the Saint-level toad obtain the sacred artifact, otherwise, it would be extremely dangerous.
They quickly reached an agreement.
Although Song Ci could not hear their conversation, he could still deduce their thoughts and plans.
But this has nothing to do with Song Dynasty poetry.
Even Song Dynasty poetry began to shift its focus, trying to hide itself so that no one would know about it.
Even Saint-level Toads and Fire Demons couldn't find his location.
As for the clone inside the golden dragon egg, Song Ci refined it directly.
Song Ci said, "I'm preparing to break through now, and I need to find a secluded place where I can't be disturbed. Your clones are no longer of any use, so I'll absorb and refine them. The energy in your clones was all provided by me. It's reasonable for me to give it away now, isn't it?"
I hope you succeed in invading this world.
I hope we can continue to cooperate then.
After reciting the Song poem, he disappeared completely.
The Fire Demon and the Saint-level Toad were furious and enraged upon learning this news.
Unexpectedly, Song Ci directly abandoned his supporters after using them.
The Fire Demon said, "Humans are indeed all extremely despicable and shameless. This time, Song Ci is doomed. I was worried that Song Ci might leave with the sacred artifact. It was only thanks to these humans killing each other that I had this opportunity."
Song Ci wouldn't think that possessing a sacred artifact would allow him to conceal our location, would he?
Once I get out and regain my strength, I will pollute and devour the entire world.
I'd like to see where Song Dynasty poetry is headed.
The Saint-level toad said, "Song Ci underestimated the strength of Saint-level experts. Although I haven't obtained a Saint-level artifact, my methods are not something a low-level human could conceal with a Saint-level artifact. Our temporary task is to deal with the Frost Dragon, the Ice Emperor, and the Snow Emperor. Don't worry about Song Ci."
