Under Qiu Yu’s leadership, Zhang Ruochen and his group broke through another killing formation inscription and walked down the Phoenix Sacred Mountain to the edge of the crimson sea of fire.
The heat released from the sea of fire was extremely high, and the heat waves that surged from the sea, impacting on top of the skin, actually caused one to feel some pain.
If it was just ordinary flames, the few people present were naturally unafraid.
However, in the sea of fire, there was a mass of greenish-white intertwined flames that would surface from time to time. That kind of flame was quite terrifying, and in just an instant, it calcined a Thousand Stripes Saint Weapon that Zhang Ruochen had struck into a golden droplet.
“What kind of flame is that, how could it be so powerful?”Princess Baili asked.
Beside her, Qiu Yu, who was dying from the killing formation’s bombardment, also showed a few shades of fear in her eyes, apparently not daring to go and break into the sea of fire, saying, “That kind of flame, even a Ten Thousand Lines Saint Artifact is probably able to melt, it’s not something that a Saint can fight against at all.”?Zhang Ruochen was calm and said, “Pure Destruction Divine Flame.”
Princess Baili was a little puzzled, saying, “How is that possible? The Patriarch has also taken in a Pure Destruction Divine Flame, however, it seems to be much weaker compared to those green and white intertwined flames in the Sea of Fire.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Even if a cultivator has taken in the Pure Destruction Divine Flame, it is still just the initial fire. It needs to be continuously nurtured and provided with energy constantly before it can grow and become more powerful.”
“Generally speaking, the Pure Extinction divine Flame is divided into three levels, Lower Extinction, Middle Extinction, and Upper Extinction.”
“The Lower Extinction Flame, which is green in colour, is known as the Min Flame.”
“The Middle Extinction Flame, which is an intertwined green and white colour, is known as the Ministerial Flame.”
“The Upper Extinction Flame, which is a pure white colour, is known as the Emperor Flame.”
“The Pure Destruction Divine Flame in my body is now the Lower Destruction Flame. The Pure Extinction divine Flame in the sea of fire, however, has reached the level of Middle Extinction. The power of the two is like the difference between a Saint and a Great Saint.”
Zhang Ruochen propped up his spatial domain, a large amount of Saint Qi erupted from his body, and with his feet stepping on the silhouettes of a luan and a phoenix, he actually took a step into the sea of fire.
“Sovereign ……”
Princess Baili was quite worried about Zhang Ruochen’s safety and wanted to stop him.
“There’s no harm, I’ll give it a try.”?It was so hard to come across a Middle Extinction level Pure Extinction Divine Flame, so of course, Zhang Ruochen wanted to take in a strand of it.
As long as he could take in a strand of the Middle Extinction divine Flame, he would be able to transform all of the Lower Extinction divine Flames in his body to the Middle Extinction level more quickly. At that time, when it was used as an attacking means to strike the Pure Extinction divine Flame, who under the Great Saints would be able to block it?
Unfortunately, Zhang Ruochen had still underestimated the power of the Middle Extinction divine Flame, and merely stayed in the sea of fire for less than a quarter of an hour before fleeing back.
The Hundred Saints Blood Armour on his body was incinerated into a crimson red, as if it was about to melt.
It was only after putting the Hundred Saints Blood Armour away that the crowd saw that Zhang Ruochen’s entire body had been scorched, with some parts becoming charred black, while others were a bloody mess.
Seeing this scene, a cold laugh came out of Qiu Yu’s mouth.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes flinched as he stretched out a hand and grabbed it towards Qiu Yu through the air, then, threw him inside the sea of fire.
In the sea of fire, screams came out one after another.
Zhang Ruochen swallowed a Healing Holy Pill, and a few moments later, the injuries on his body recovered quickly and he reached his full strength again.
“The Middle Destruction Divine Flame is quite terrifying, with our current cultivation level, it is impossible for us to cross the sea of fire unless our luck is heaven-defying.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Princess Rakshasa said, “Then we can only try the Underwinter Cold Sea at the other end.”
Right at this moment, Zhang Ruochen raised his head and looked towards the direction of the Sacred Mountain of Qifeng.
Only to see that two silhouettes hurriedly swept down from the top of the Sacred Mountain, quickly arriving in front of Zhang Ruochen and the others.
It was none other than Han Qiu and Demonic Sound.
Both of them had suffered considerable injuries, and even after swallowing the Healing Holy Pill, their injuries still hadn’t healed.
Devil Yin clasped her hands together and said, “Master, we were besieged by a large number of experts from the Rakshasa Clan, so we came back a little late.”
Han Chu’s eyes were quite cold and sharp, locking onto the Rakshasa Princess’s body as he said, “I suspect that someone amongst us has defected to the Rakshasa Clan, which is why those Marquises of the Rakshasa Clan were able to know of the whereabouts of the Devil’s Tone and me. This person, who could it be?”
The Rakshasa Princess stretched out a slender jade arm and took the initiative to hold Zhang Ruochen’s hand, charmingly saying, “This Princess is the Boundary Son of the Great Demon Ten Realms, it is possible for anyone to defect to the Rakshasa Clan, but it is impossible for me to do so.”
Han Chu looked at how close Princess Rakshasa was with Zhang Ruochen, his face became even more sullen and cold as he said, “Is that so? Why do I feel that that person is you.”
Princess Rakshasa revealed an aggrieved look, raising a charming and pretty face as she stared at Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen coldly glanced at Han Chu and said, “You must not be rude to the Demon Princess, if the Demon Princess had defected to the Rakshasa Clan, with the strength of the Great Demon Ten Directions Realm and the Rakshasa Clan, if they had joined forces, we would have already been dead.”
Han Chu was very unconvinced and was about to retort.
“Retreat and recuperate properly.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Han Chu was so furious that his chest kept heaving and his eyes turned black, however, he eventually endured this and retreated to the side.
The Rakshasa Princess, however, giggled and understood a truth in her heart, as long as she charmed Zhang Ruochen and took control of him, then, this group of people would have to be at her mercy.
In the sea of fire, once again, a miserable scream rang out, “Zhang Ruochen …… save me up, in the future, I will listen to you in everything ……?””Still not dead? Life force is really tenacious.”
Zhang Ruochen stretched out his two hands and used a spatial distortion technique to grab Qiu Yu out of the sea of fire in the air and threw him heavily on the ground.
Autumn Rain walked ahead and continued to lead the way as the crowd travelled towards the other end of the Underwinter Cold Sea.
The Cold Sea was filled with ice-cold, bone-chilling Underwinter Water, and the area by the water was completely covered in cold ice, but strangely, the Underwinter Water did not solidify.
Zhang Ruochen walked towards the water’s edge, only to feel a wave of ice-cold, bone-piercing wind surging over, and only by fully mobilising his Saint Qi could he withstand the impact of the cold on his physical body.
Princess Rakshasa walked to Zhang Ruochen’s side and took out a palm-sized red boat and threw it towards the Stygian Winter Cold Sea.
“Boom.”
The small red boat continued to grow larger and larger, transforming into a giant ship that was a hundred feet long and floated on the surface of the sea.
On the surface of the giant ship, a formation inscription emerged, transforming into hundreds of wisps of light shuttles that rushed into midair, forming a formation disc.
As the formation disc continued to rotate, it actually dispersed the cold air in the sea.
“What a powerful battleship, comparable to a Ten Thousand Lines Saint Artifact.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Princess Rakshasa’s face, however, changed slightly. Only to see that the huge ship that was originally floating on the surface of the sea was slowly sinking, and in less than a quarter of an hour, it completely sank into the bottom of the water.
During this period, the Rakshasa Princess continuously struck out her holy qi, but she was unable to retrieve the giant ship at all.
Not far away, Princess Baili and Han Qiu and the others, were all slightly stunned, such an outcome was obviously a bit hard for them to accept.
“Can’t the ship float on the surface at all?”
“What now, is there no way to get closer to the Phoenix Nest?”
Qiu Yu’s heart was overjoyed, as long as Zhang Ruochen knew what to do, then, he was considered to have saved his life. Of course, even though he was overjoyed, he didn’t dare to say a word for fear of being thrown into the sea by Zhang Ruochen again.
Unfortunately, even if he remained silent, it was still hard to escape.
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze, fixed on Qiu Yu, said, “Your essence is a divine tree, so you should be able to float on the surface of the Underwinter Cold Sea, right?”
Hearing this, the hairs of sweat stood up all over Qiu Yu’s body as he said, “There is simply …… nothing at all …… that can float on top of the Underwinter Water……”?”One must always try to find out.”
Zhang Ruochen passed a look over to Devil Voice.
Devil Voice understood and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, then, she struck Qiu Yu’s vest with a palm, sending him flying and crashing into the Underworld Winter Cold Sea.
“Plop.”
Falling into the sea, Qiu Yu immediately transformed into his own body, turning into a huge Sycamore Divine Tree, with crimson flames coming out of its trunk, branches, and leaves, emitting a “giggling” sound in the sea.
As the flames and water came into contact with each other, a large amount of water mist rose up around the Sycamore divine Tree.
“Zhang Ruochen, you son of a bitch, you shall not die …… ah …… today’s revenge, shall not share the same heaven ……”
Inside the Sycamore Divine Tree, the sound of Qiu Yu’s curses constantly came out.
All along, Qiu Yu was an elegant person, being able to force him to swear was really not an easy thing.
After waiting for roughly half an hour, the Sycamore Divine Tree was still floating on the surface of the sea, not sinking.
Zhang Ruochen nodded in satisfaction and took the lead to fly down to the top of the Sycamore Divine Tree’s trunk, taking out the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword and inserting the sword body halfway in, saying, “It’s best if you don’t fling your tactics at me, or else I’ll decapitate you at the first opportunity.”
“With this sword of yours, you can’t behead me yet.”Autumn Rain said.
The Sycamore Divine Tree’s trunk was very difficult to chop off, so trying to kill Qiu Yu was an extremely difficult task.
Even though, the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword already had 20,000 inscriptions within it, and its grade had been raised to an extremely high level, it was still impossible to behead the trunk of the Sycamore Divine Tree.
Zhang Ruochen grabbed the hilt of the sword and retrieved the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, but in the palm of his hand, he coalesced a three-foot-long spatial rift and said, “Can a spatial rift chop through you?”
This time, Qiu Yu fell into silence.
If the Sycamore Divine Tree really cultivated into a god and transformed into a spiritual root of heaven and earth, it would be able to change the rules of space to a certain extent, and at that time, even if it was a spatial rift, it would be impossible to chop through the tree trunk.
However, Qiu Yu was still far from reaching that realm, so naturally, it was impossible to block the spatial rift.
“Count yourself ruthless.”
Autumn Rain’s voice came out from the tree trunk.
Next, Princess Rakshasa, Devil Voice, Han Qiu, Princess Bai Li, and Ah Le, ascended the Wutong Divine Tree one after another.
However, Zhang Ruochen didn’t immediately head to the Phoenix Nest, but stopped at the seashore of the Underwinter Cold Sea, waiting for those other Great World Saints to come and exchange merit values with him.
The seashore of the Underwinter Cold Sea was an excellent place to advance and retreat.
If there was a certain Great World with a large number of Saint Saints that wanted to seize the Wall of Merit Book, then Zhang Ruochen could completely escape into the depths of the Underwinter Cold Sea immediately, not fearing them at all.
