Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

The West Sea Dragon King, Ao Run, was on the verge of madness.

Seeing Ao Lie's mouth covered in blood, he rushed over.

"My child, don't be afraid! I'll save you right now, don't worry!"

Although he was shocked by the thousand-foot ice wave, Ao Run believed it was just a minor deity with water-based术法(shùfǎ) divine powers.

As the Dragon King, Ao Run controlled all the rivers, lakes, and seas under the heavens, manipulating all water. This mere ice-based divine power could surely be easily dispelled!

Without another word, Ao Run took out a fiery red pearl.

"My child, please bear with it for a moment. This is the Fire Spirit Divine Pearl, containing exquisite divine fire separated from the Southern Blazing Fire. It can melt all the坚冰(jiānbīng) toughest ice in the world!"

"I'll save you very soon, rest assured!"

Ao Run was full of confidence. The Southern Blazing Fire ranked sixth among the Ten Great Source Flames, only slightly inferior to the Nine Heavens Profound Fire of the Heavenly Court.

And his Exquisite Divine Fire, separated from the Southern Blazing Fire, possessed power that could even reach one-tenth of the Southern Blazing Fire's strength.

All the toughest ice in the world, nothing it couldn't melt!

Ao Run immediately activated the Fire Spirit Pearl in his hand, and a tangerine flame ignited.

"My child, don't be afraid, I'll hold the flame far away, it won't burn you. This is the strongest flame in the world, it will melt the ice very soon, don't worry!"

Ao Lie was extremely excited, "Good, good, good, Father King, hurry up, I can't wait!"

Ao Run, full of confidence, controlled the Fire Spirit Pearl from a distance.

However, after a long time, Ao Run didn't see any effect at all.

Ao Run's arm was numb from holding it up, but the surrounding profound ice didn't budge. Forget melting, Ao Run could even feel the chill emanating from the surroundings.

This Exquisite Divine Fire couldn't even dispel the cold air from the surrounding profound ice?

"How is this possible?"

"It must be that I'm injecting too little magic power. My child, don't worry, I'll increase the magic power, and I'll be able to save you soon. When that time comes, we'll go and bring that bastard to justice together!"

Ao Lie was still excited: "Father King, I'm not in a hurry, keep an eye on that bastard, don't let him run away!"

Then Ao Run increased his magic power again.

"Huh? Why is it still not working!"

"It must be that I'm too far away. My child, don't panic, I'll get a little closer. It might be a little hot, but I'll save you very soon, he won't be able to escape!"

Ao Lie: "Okay! Father King, I believe in you!"

Ao Run carried the Fire Spirit Pearl, walking towards Ao Lie as if treading on thin ice.

However, it still didn't work!

"Huh? Why is it still not working!"

"It's already so close... could it be that I need to get even closer?"

"My child, don't panic, I'll get a little closer, I might accidentally burn you, but I'll save you very soon, don't worry!"

Ao Lie: "...I'm so hot, no, I'm so cold... Father King, don't come over, you're burning my whiskers, don't come over!!!"

Ao Run: "Almost there, almost there, don't worry, the Exquisite Divine Fire is a flame separated from the Ten Great Divine Fires, it will melt this ice very soon!"

Ao Lie: "Ah ah ah!!! Hot, hot, hot! It's burning my head, it's charred!"

Even though Ao Run had almost pressed the Fire Spirit Pearl to Ao Lie's face, and even the skin on Ao Lie's mouth was almost charred.

How laughable, this Boundless Profound Ice was one of the four Primal Chaos Spirits. Besides the other three Primal Chaos Spirits, nothing in the world could contend with the Boundless Profound Ice.

Even more laughable was that Ao Run actually wanted to use the Southern Blazing Fire, which only ranked sixth, a branch flame he had never even heard of, the Exquisite Divine Fire, to melt the Boundless Profound Ice?

Chu Hao only felt that even a little bit of melting would be a disgrace to the Primal Chaos Spirit.

Chu Hao was happy to watch the show, sitting calmly and elegantly on the Icebound Throne.

Ao Run was covered in sweat, extremely nervous:

"What on earth is going on! Even millennium profound ice would be evaporated under this Exquisite Divine Fire!"

"How can this ice be so hard? Never mind!"

"Now that things have come to this, Father will just chop it with a knife. My child, don't worry, I will definitely not cut you!"

Ao Lie's mind had become somewhat stiff from being frozen, and he was also burned by the Exquisite Divine Fire just now, severely dehydrated.

Living was worse than death, that was Ao Lie's current feeling.

And at this moment, hearing that Ao Run was going to chop with a knife again, Ao Lie was terrified. Even enduring the pain, he desperately shouted:

"No, no! Father King, no!"

"I've already tried it, this ice is impervious to knives and spears, let me go! Let me go!"

"Don't do it, please don't do it, I beg you!"

Ao Run, however, was full of confidence, patting his chest and saying:

"The reason you couldn't chop it open is because your strength is still a bit lacking, but your dad is already in the Golden Immortal realm, I can definitely do it!"

"Don't worry, you are my most beloved child, there are no parents in the world who would hurt their own children."

"I will definitely control my strength. Here it comes, here it comes, be careful!"

Ao Run was anxious to save his son, fearing that being frozen in the profound ice for too long would damage Ao Lie's primordial spirit, so he was so frantic.

Immediately, Ao Run didn't waste any words, directly taking out a large knife. This was his Dragon Palace's treasure, and also his most precious magic weapon.

Acquired Spiritual Treasure, Water Severing Blade!

"Eat my blade!"

Ao Run raised the large knife high, aimed at the ice on Ao Lie's shoulder, and suddenly brought it down.

Ao Lie closed his eyes in terror.

Clang!

Ao Run, who had gathered all his strength, chopped down with the knife, but only left a white mark on the Boundless Profound Ice.

Ao Run and Ao Lie were stunned on the spot.

A single strike from an Acquired Spiritual Treasure, and only a white mark was left?!

Thus, Ao Run's stubborn temper flared up again.

"It must be that the strength was too weak just now, my child, don't panic..."

"No, no, don't come again, I'm so scared, Father King, spare your child, I know I was wrong!"

"Eat my blade! Drink!"

"Ah ah ah ah, I'm going to die, I'm going to die..."

"Huh? Still not working? It must be that the angle was wrong just now, my child, don't panic, I'll get a little closer..."

"Dad, dear dad, you are my dear dad, let me go, I'm so scared and worried!"

"Eat my blade again, drink!"

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die!"

"Huh? Still not working? It seems like the posture must be wrong, come, come, come, my child, don't worry, I'll definitely succeed this time!"

"Daddy, daddy, dad! Let me go, I only burned the pearl given to me by the Jade Emperor, it's not worth killing me, is it? I'm your own son!"

"Eat my blade again!"

"Ah ah ah!! I'm dead, I'm dead, being born as a dragon, I'm so sorry!"

"Huh? Still not working? My child, don't..."

"I'm so scared, I'm so panicked, I'm so anxious, I'll be scared to death even if I don't die! Dad, why don't you chop my head, it'll be simpler!"
