Transcending Limits

The world was painted with white mist hiding the beauty of wonders. Ice spanned indefinitely covering the landma.s.s of the realm.

Under this guise was a desolate Snow Valley. There laid a gigantic flood dragon, cursed to the ground, absolutely powerless.

Standing in front of it was a handsome young man and a peerless young woman.

The wind swayed fluttering their clothes, as the young man approached the flood dragon with light footsteps.

The winds. .h.i.t his face, dry and frigid, giving an unpleasant sensation.

With a flicker of his finger, a very faint, yet very ancient aura rose from his blood before it formed an illusory phantom behind him.

It was shrouded in an ethereal soft blue light. Except realising that it was a bird, no inferences could be made. Yet, this manifestation was enough to scare the Flood Dragon to near insanity.

"Pho…Phoenix!" under its stupor, it p.r.o.nounced the name of the legendary creature with reverence.

"Oh, this makes things easier." With a faint smile on his lips, Sheng Tian stepped forward and gazed into its eyes.

His gaze had an unshakable confidence, and brilliance that couldn"t be hidden.

"What do you want?" With a resigned tone, the flood dragon questioned him.

"Tell me about the Beast Empire and its secrets." He said plainly.

"You can torture me however you want, but I will never betray my Empire!" With eyes bloodshot, the creature shook its head and tried to break free from the restriction.

Alas, its power could only amount to so much under Sheng Tian"s supremacy.

With a rueful grin, he walked upto it and patted its head, "Why do you think I"m an enemy of your Empire? I"m just a guest who wants to know a few things." Like a man who was misunderstood, he explained a patient manner.

Looking at the indecisive expression of the creature, his expression turned cold "Do you believe I can"t force out the truth from you?"

The Flood Dragon never felt so helpless. It tried to detonate multiple times, yet with its body fully under his aura field and bloodline control, there was no way it would succeed.

It understood that denial brings endless torment. Since Sheng Tian could let it experience it pain way beyond imagination, his words should not be taken lightly.

With a deep sigh, it nodded "I don"t know much secrets of the Beast Empire, for I am only a guardian of the Lake of Frozen Tears. However, you don"t seem to be familiar with the Empire.

The Empire is formed by Seven Ancient Clans, whose heritage dates back to the Ancient War 5,000 years ago. These Clans are Dragon Wolf, Snow Eagle, Heavenly Tiger, Thousand Python, Raging Bear, Diamond Ape and Charm Fox.

Each of these Clan Founder is a Heaven Realm Warrior who fought against evil and protected this realm and continent.

Our sacrifices were the highest! None of our Ancestors remained. That was the weakest moment of our Empire."

"Stop that. Tell me where is the Beast Empire and about the powers of the Empire in detail." Raising his hand, he ordered it.

Its eyes widened in shock "If you don"t know where the Empire is, how did you get inside?"

Sheng Tian rubbed his non-existent beard and shrugged "An unexpected surprise. You are only supposed to answer."

Leng Yue Yan walked next to Sheng Tian, her eyes had a vacant look. Suddenly, the sword in her hand shone with a threatening light.

"What happened?" He turned to her and furrowed his brows.

Leng Yue Yan"s eyes flashed with an extremely frosty blue light before she opened her mouth and spoke in a daze "It"s calling."

"What is?"he got no response.

"Yue Yan?" He waved his hand in front of her face, and she muttered the same words "It"s calling."

The Flood Dragon"s eyes squinted at her words as it followed the direction she was staring. It was the Lake of Frozen Tears!

Sheng Tian tried calling her, he shook her body, nothing worked.

"Hope this works." He muttered and used Divine Dragon Roar at her "Wake up!"

"Don"t yell!" She glared at him before stopping in shock.

"Are you dazed once again?" he snickered and joked, but she didn"t like that.

Her profound energy formed a barrier around her body as she spread her spirit sense carefully.

Sheng Tian"s expression also turned serious, and he raised an eyebrow at the Flood dragon.

Like a little child who was caught for unattempted crime, it shook its head and pleaded "Young Master, I am fully under your control, it"s not me. This is the first time I"m seeing something like this."

"What happened to you?" He held her soft hand and patted her back, and asked gently.

Leng Yue Yan looked at him, her eyes had a trace of confusion and panic. His actions soothed her soul and she let out a deep breath.

"Something is calling me. I can feel it. It requests me to take it away." She said, trying not to sound stupid.

"Well?" Sheng Tian tried to figure out the reason. "Do you know what did it look like? Do you know where it is?"

Leng Yue Yan shook her head "I can only feel it. It"s very cold and very soft." She pointed in a direction forward and stared ahead "It"s coming from there. I am sure."

Sheng Tian"s eyes widened. That is the location the primal seed showed a reaction to. At this moment, the corner of his eye caught the abnormal expression of the Flood Dragon.

"Spit it out! What is in that direction?" a tyrannical aura rose from his profound veins and shook the air, emitting a deep killing intent.

The Flood dragon closed its eyes "Lake of Frozen Tears. I don"t know anything else. There are no myths, no legends, no records of that place. No one dares to enter that place. The giant poison curtain and the frozen army are the two layers of protection to the Lake from the West side.

There were no creates in the desolate snow mountains of the West, so it was ignored. Who would"ve thought that today…"

Sheng Tian understood the underlying meaning of its words.

If it was from any other direction, they would have to face absolute powerful enemies whom they couldn"t hope to win against.

The West side had the lowest protection and thus, allowed them a victory.

"So we get to the lake right after we cross the mountains?"

"Yes"

"Are there any dangers in the Lake?"

"Of course. Few can survive the horrible weather. But none can dive into the lake. A mysterious force is present inside. It freezes anyone who enters it. Not just their body, even their soul! From the dawn of history, no one knew about the true source of the power. However, the Founders of the Empire had guessed that it hides a heaven defying secret. Thus, though no one can touch the lake, it is heavily guarded." Saying so, it stared at Leng Yue Yan in shock.

"Forbidden, huh." Sheng Tian turned to Leng Yue Yan, asking for her opinion.

"We will go, we must." Her cold voice suddenly seemed a lot colder.

"Well then, we will get going. So, pa.s.s on that secret you are hiding already." He kindly smiled at the Flood Dragon.

"How do you know?" It exclaimed in shock.

"I can see every inch of your body, it is only natural." He stretched out his hand and looked at the Flood Dragon with a enigmatic smile.

Like a deflated balloon, the flood dragon spit out a pitch black ring.

Sheng Tian withdrew his hand and held the ring in the air with his profound energy.

With a thought, he examined the storage s.p.a.ce of the ring.

"d.a.m.n!" He shouted, startling Leng Yue Yan who was silently observing the ring.

"Haha, I have earned it big this time." With a hearty laughter, he snapped his fingers and a pair of long black wings appeared in the air.

"This…flying profound treasure?" Leng Yue Yan tried to suppress the shock in her heart.

"Yes. Not a normal one. It can let a cultivator at any cultivation base fly. Though an Elementary Realm cultivator will not be able to compete with a Sky Realm Expert, reaching the speed of a Realm above his is not a problem.

With the formations engraved on it, I can catch upto cultivators in Sky Realm." He winked at her, hinting that they could fly together.

Leng Yue Yan rolled her eyes and said "Are we ready to go?"

Exchanging a look, Sheng Tian dripped a drop of blood essence mixed with spirit sense onto the wings.

They were more than 4 meters tall. They didn"t have any feathers and instead looked like a hybrid of Dragon and Phoenix Wings. Yet, they emitted a horrifying aura, as if they were the bane of living.

After his blood essence was absorbed by the wings, a name appeared in his mind "Wings of Heaven"

Sheng Tian glared at the Flood Dragon "I would have missed out. Tsk. As a punishment, you stay here for until we finish our business."

A majestic dragon aura exploded from his body and locked the Flood Dragon immobile. It would not be able to move till a week.

"Let"s go"

With a light flap, he soared into the air.
