In the boundless snowy landscape, two rows of gigantic footprints stretched from one end of a mountain to the other in the north.

"Roar!" Although it had been traveling for several days, Xiao Bai maintained its excitement throughout.

It was true that the farther north they went, the tougher the beasts they encountered became. However, there was not a shred of fear in its heart because it believed that with Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body around, it would surely be alright.

"Xiao Bai seems so happy!" Chen Hao, lying on Xiao Bai's back, remarked.

"Yes!" The Nether Soul Body of Ye Yuqiao beside Chen Hao responded, "Chen Hao, after we successfully retreat from the ancient city with our lives, what do you plan to do with Xiao Bai?"

Thinking about the possibility of parting with Xiao Bai, Chen Hao's heart immediately filled with reluctance. He turned his head to look at Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body and said, "Can we bring Xiao Bai back to Netherworld City?"

"It is possible, but Xiao Bai has lived in the Polar Ice Land since it was young and might not be able to withstand the warmer climate."

"Then let's bring it with us into the scroll," said Chen Hao, "When the time comes, I will draw a painting where the left half is ice and the right side is a warm continent."

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body coldly uttered an "Oh," then said, "The one who will enter the Demon-Sealing Scroll with you is my Yang Spirit, not me."

"Weren't you saying that the three souls should fuse together?"

"Do you wish for all three souls to merge?" the Nether Soul Body of Ye Yuqiao asked, "Or do you simply hope that my Yang Spirit will be revived?"

Chen Hao's brows furrowed slightly. After a moment of consideration, he said, "To revive Yuqiao, we must merge the souls, so your question doesn't exist at all. I don't need to answer you."

"I'm talking hypothetically."

"There is no such hypothesis!"

"What if only my Yang Spirit and Yin Soul were to merge? Without me!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body continued probing, "The question exists, so do you wish for me to merge as well?"

Chen Hao's brows knitted deeply as he looked at the sky.

After a long silence, he finally said, "It's your freedom, make your own choice."

"Chen Hao!" The Nether Soul Body of Ye Yuqiao sounded very disappointed, "Regardless of whatever choice I make, it seems to you it doesn't matter either way, right?"

"You're being unlovable," said Chen Hao.

The Nether Soul Body of Ye Yuqiao snorted, then stood up and suddenly turned into a firebird, flying ahead.

"What are you doing?" Chen Hao, feeling the pain, got up and looked in the direction where Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body had left.

"Don't you not care about me at all? Why ask?"

"Didn't I tell you just the other day? You are my companion. How could I not care about you!" Chen Hao said somewhat angrily, "You hurry back, or I will really get angry."

"Hehe!" The pleasing laughter of Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body suddenly echoed in Chen Hao's mind, "If you had said you cared about me earlier, wouldn't that have been fine? You always have to make me angry!"

At that moment, having transformed into a firebird, it soared between two rows of tall, neatly parallel mountains. Beneath it, on the ground, lay a thin layer of water that wouldn't freeze.

"Chen Hao," Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body stopped flying and looked around in confusion while mentally speaking to Chen Hao, "Don't you think this place is a bit strange? Especially the flatland below, there's unfrozen water."

"Is that so?" Hearing Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body say that, Chen Hao also became filled with curiosity.

"Xiao Bai, let's go over there and take a look." Chen Hao pointed toward the location of the firebird.

"Roar!" Xiao Bai responded with a roar and then began to charge towards the firebird's position.

However, Xiao Bai had only taken a few steps in the snow when the mountains on either side of the Firebird and the ground beneath them began to shake violently, and then countless snow and ice tumbled down from above.

At the same time, a vast amount of ancient, cold Spiritual Power also began to spread through the air.

"Little Nether, run!" Chen Hao urgently shouted to Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body. He had realized that the neat mountains on either side of the Firebird were actually the two rows of teeth of an ancient giant beast, and that the Firebird was right now inside the mouth of the mysterious ancient giant beast as it opened its jaws to the sky.

Just as the Firebird spread its wings to leave, the mountains on both sides, now devoid of snow and ice, began to rapidly close in.

It was now swallowed by the ancient giant beast.

At the moment the ancient giant beast's mouth closed, the snow and ice covering its mouth's surface completely shook off, revealing half of the giant beast's face—a scale of army blue, rough and thick like an uneven piece of iron.

"Ao ao ao!" Seeing this, Xiao Bai was both shocked and panicked. As a small giant beast, it was much smaller than half the face of that giant beast.

Just then, a deafening grunt emanated from the ancient giant beast.

Then, within a ten-mile radius, the snowy ground began to shake, and then more and more violently, it started to undulate.

"Xiao Bai, you find a place to hide first. I'll rescue Little Nether!" Chen Hao said while pointing towards the south.

"Ao ao!" Xiao Bai called out while shaking its head. It didn't want to follow Chen Hao's order but wanted to join him in rescuing Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body.

Chen Hao bent down and gently stroked Xiao Bai's head, saying, "Xiao Bai, be good, listen to me. Rest assured, I'll get her out quickly."

"Chen Hao," at that moment, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body's voice came through, "I'm sorry, I've caused trouble again."

"You really are troublesome!" Chen Hao didn't finish his sentence before he stopped. He could no longer sense the presence of Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body.

"Not good, Little Nether might have been swallowed by that giant beast!" he exclaimed urgently, then quickly combined the two hand blades of the Ancestor of the Nether King into the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade.

Just as he was about to pry open the giant beast's mouth with the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade,

Suddenly, with a "boom," the vast body of the giant beast slowly emerged from the snowy ground, and it took half a minute before its tail was revealed.

And around it, waves of ice like rising giants had already been tossed upwards, sweeping all around and blocking Chen Hao's view of the giant beast.

Seeing the ice and snow rapidly approaching like an overwhelming force, Xiao Bai immediately turned around, dragging Chen Hao to run desperately back the way they had come.

However, it could not outpace the fierce onslaught of ice and snow.

Chen Hao immediately opened a Nether Acupoint and ducked inside with Xiao Bai.

In the blink of an eye, he and Xiao Bai leapt out from a vortex high in the sky.

Now, Chen Hao finally got a glimpse of the giant beast. It looked a bit like a crocodile from the mortal world but was as large as six or seven football fields laid side by side.

Gazing at the ancient giant creature from the air, Chen Hao was stunned. It was the largest beast he had seen since entering the Polar Ice Land.

"Xiao Bai, we'll be back soon!" Before he had finished speaking, Chen Hao had already disappeared from Xiao Bai.

In an instant, he had arrived above the head of the giant beast and drove the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade, infused with a tremendous amount of the Nether King's Power, into the head of the giant beast.

The giant beast roared into the sky.

Chen Hao immediately seized the opportunity and entered the mouth of the giant beast.

"Ao!" Xiao Bai screamed in midair.
