Chapter 439: Chapter 177: Breakthrough, Limit Talent! In order to experiment with the effects of his new talent, he found Amy who was reading, and engaged in dual cultivation. [You completed a cultivation session, Ice Element Mark +6897] As the cultivation completed, he could feel a surge of energy integrating into the Ice Element Mark. Indeed, cultivating with Amy can also enhance the power of the Ice Element Mark! However, wanting to upgrade the Ice Element Mark to the second ring astonishingly requires a billion experience points, leaving him somewhat flabbergasted. It seems that Amy’s Tier Six wizard power is not enough, she must be further enhanced to Tier Seven, or even a higher level. Of course, the Ice Element Mark’s boost to his strength is evident. Moreover, the Ice Element Talent has now materialized into the tangible Ice Element Mark, with each cultivation session slightly strengthening it. This is an immediate boost in combat strength, fueling David’s drive to cultivate even further. "Going forward, I still need to continue strengthening talent!" David took a deep breath. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚 And in order to enhance his cultivation efficiency, he must help the witch complete her breakthrough as soon as possible. ... Three days later. David headed to the Jingge Kingdom. During this time, Jingge Kingdom has been at the forefront of resisting the Demon Tide. Especially recently, more undead have appeared in the Far North, transforming the Far North into an Undead World. David planned to take Reina into the Far North. The Far North not only possesses a large amount of ice attribute resources, but those undead themselves are undead resources. As an undead mage, Reina has been collecting undead resources to enhance her strength during this time. Now, his strength has already been elevated to Tier Eight, even capable of exhibiting Tier Nine combat power, making him fully eligible to explore the Far North. This time, he plans to head to the Barbarian City’s original location, which is rumored to be occupied by a powerful witch demon. Aside from this, he also wants to see the legendary entrance to the Ice Hell, to determine whether there is a passage connecting the Ice Hell at the Far North’s end. Reina was quite pleased with David’s arrival. During this time, although Reina often returned via the teleportation array, she hasn’t spent much time together with David. Upon arriving at Jingge Kingdom, David naturally wanted to spend more time with Reina. On the night of their arrival, the two engaged in cultivation, continuously enhancing the experience of the Snow Demon Spirit. A few days later. David led Reina secretly out of the Jingge Kingdom, into the Far North. The Far North is currently a dangerous place, not only because it is a gathering ground for the undead but also due to the hostile weather and terrain. Now entering the Far North, one has to face the extreme cold climate and the occasionally emerging undead creatures. Of course, all of this poses no issue for David. With the Ice Element Mark, he can freely command the power of ice, like a king of this icy world. Even the Snow Demons, who can harness the power of ice, cannot seize control from him. Soon, they reached the core area of the Far North. The undead creatures here are stronger, not just ordinary skeletons and zombies but higher-level undead such as ghosts, witch demons, and even death knights. Utilizing his extraordinary perception, David also discovered a hidden ice cave. Inside the ice cave, they found a Tier Seven Snow Demon, whose body was filled with terrifying necromantic energy. David also sensed different auras from it, possibly from the legendary power of Ice Hell. After a battle, he effortlessly slew the Tier Seven Snow Demon. Subsequently, they discovered a blue glowing crystal from inside the Snow Demon, the Snow Demon Core. The Snow Demon Core not only contains powerful necromantic energy but also carries the aura of Ice Hell, with purity and strength that are exceedingly rare. "Such an object has appeared." "It’s already akin to a crystal of gaseous spiritual power." David’s face revealed a look of surprise; the Snow Demon Core was incredibly suitable for Reina’s breakthrough. "Thank you, Lord Duke." Reina carefully put away the Snow Demon Core. She had a feeling that simply absorbing the energy contained in the Snow Demon Core, she could break through to Tier Six. And this was just after beginning their journey into the Far North, making her even more intrigued by the exploration ahead. Following this, David continued to clear away the undead. Reina followed behind, relying on the Snow Demon Spirit to continuously absorb the power of the undead, constantly enhancing her spiritual power. After several days of arduous travel, the two finally stood before the ruins known as Barbarian City. This city is now occupied by the undead, enveloped in silence. David cautiously observed the movements within the city using his keen intuition. The air was suffused with the scent of death, and whispers of the undead echoed at his ears. They cleared away Snow Demons along the way, passed through dilapidated buildings, and ultimately arrived at the city’s central square. There, they discovered a large altar, with ancient runes carved on it, emitting a ghostly blue glow. In the center of the altar, a massive crystal hovered. This core was larger than the one Reina had obtained before, and its emitted glow was even more dazzling. It not only contains necromantic energy but also carries the aura of Hell, featuring purity and strength exceptionally rare. Both David and Reina understood that this core would greatly aid Reina’s breakthrough.
