The lava tunnel was connected in all directions, and it was a hundred times more complicated than the most complicated maze. Hundreds of thousands of experts of various races were 'walking' inside. Some were alone, like Ye Chen, some were in groups, obviously friends, and some were a well-disciplined army. Fortunately, the lava tunnel was very wide, and it didn't seem too crowded.
In one of the lava tunnels, a five-thousand-strong Evil Spirit army was advancing.
"Leader, why do I feel that the temperature is rising, and the airflow seems to be speeding up?"
A person beside the Evil Spirit leader said.
"Perhaps they're going deeper and deeper into the Desolate Planet!"
This life planet was called Desolate Planet, and it was a fire-attributed planet.
"Leader, do you think it's the Perish Fire Storm?"
"Don't jinx it. How can a Perish Fire Storm appear so easily? It usually only appears once every few decades. The last time was more than a decade ago, which is still a long time ago."
The Perish Fire Storm was the most frightening disaster on Desolate Planet. Once it appeared, anyone below the seventh layer of Life and Death Realm would be in danger. However, the Perish Fire Storm did not appear often. According to the pattern, it would appear once every few decades. As for the reason for its appearance, it was related to the planet's energy exhaustion. Every time a Perish Fire Storm occurred, the planet's energy would weaken by a bit.
After flying for dozens of li, a dazzling spark suddenly flashed on the Evil Spirit leader's protective evil power. At the same time, the airflow in the lava tunnel crazily accelerated.
"F * ck, it's really the Perish Fire Storm! Retreat!"
The Evil Spirit leader let out a mournful scream and turned around to flee. When the others heard the words' Perish Fire Storm ', their minds went blank. Perish Fire Storm, it was actually the Perish Fire Storm! Didn't they say that it only appeared once every few decades? It had only been a decade or so since the last one!
They were a beat slower in their daze. Only when the Evil Spirit leader and the others disappeared without a trace did they react. Immediately, ghostly wails and wolf howls rang out. Thousands of people were like bees in a nest, exploding with their speed to the limit. Some even used secret arts that would damage their cultivation base just to increase their speed a bit.
The ghostly wails and wolf howls were not limited to this place. As long as one entered the Desolate Planet, who would not be afraid of the Perish Fire Storm? After all, there were not many who had reached the seventh layer of Life and Death Realm.
"What's the situation?"
Compared to before, the airflow in the lava channel was several hundred times faster, and it was still increasing. With every breath, there would be a new change. After several breaths, the airflow had surged a thousand times faster than before. Not only that, but on the surface of Ye Chen's Protective Zhen Yuan, sparks were flying everywhere. It was as if his Protective Zhen Yuan had been ignited.
Not daring to be negligent, Ye Chen instantly stimulated the power of the Iron Blood Deep Blue Set. The set light combined with his protective Zhen Yuan, making him impregnable.
Chi chi!
Two thousand times!
Three thousand times!
Five thousand times!
Six thousand times!
Eight thousand times!
Ten thousand times!
Soon, the speed of the airflow reached an astonishing ten thousand times. Coupled with the frighteningly high temperature, it could melt almost any metal material. Ye Chen estimated that this high temperature airflow could most likely kill a first layer Life and Death Realm Heavenly King, and even a second layer Life and Death Realm King would not be able to hold on for long.
"I'm afraid this is just the prelude!"
The high-temperature airflow was not scary. What was scary was the disaster that followed. Ye Chen could vaguely feel that the entire planet was shaking.
Boom!
This guess didn't last long, and it quickly came true.
From the center of the Desolate Planet, an extremely frightening black-red energy erupted. Since this energy wasn't powerful enough to tear the planet apart, it urgently needed to vent. Therefore, the lava channel became the best outlet. Compared to the high-temperature airflow, the black-red energy surged at an astonishing speed, causing the entire planet to shake and rumble.
"Ah!"
Miserable screams resounded without end. The Life and Death Kings who were relatively close to the center could only let out a scream before they were ignited and turned into ashes. Under the wash of the black-red energy, unless one escaped from the Desolate Planet, they could only passively endure. If they couldn't, they would naturally perish.
"Run!"
"Run!"
The Kings who had just entered regretted so much that their intestines turned green. Why didn't they come a bit later? Why were they so unlucky to run into the Fallen Fire Storm? They didn't want to die! Their lives had just begun, and only a fraction of their hundred thousand years had passed.
"There's actually such a frightening energy storm!"
Ye Chen crossed his arms in front of him, but his body was still pushed back by the black-red energy. His Zhen Yuan flowed out like water, unceasingly replenishing his Protective Zhen Yuan.
Even Ye Chen found it so difficult to resist, let alone others.
The first to die were the Kings with cultivation base lower than fourth layer. Before the Fallen Fire Storm, they were nothing but cannon fodder. The black-red energy first tore apart their Protective Zhen Yuan, then turned their bodies into ashes. From start to finish, they didn't have any leeway to resist. Soon after, some fifth layer Life and Death Kings died. They were different from Ye Chen. Ye Chen had the Iron Blood Deep Blue set, as well as the mid fifth layer Sword Domain. In terms of defense, they were much weaker than Ye Chen.
Finally, it was the turn of the sixth layer Life and Death Kings.
The majority of sixth layer Life and Death Realm Heavenly Kings were very ordinary. They didn't have Heavenly King grade suits, nor did they have powerful domains. They could only rely on their higher cultivation base to resist. Unfortunately, in front of the Meteor Fire Storm, only seventh layer Life and Death Realm cultivation base could do anything.
Looking from the outside, the entire Desolate Planet seemed incomparably majestic. Tens of thousands of li thick black-red energy pillars erupted one after another, reaching hundreds of millions of li away. It looked like a huge hedgehog, or a glowing hornet's nest. However, this hornet's nest was a bit too big.
After about twenty breaths of time, the Fallen Fire Storm gradually weakened.
Of the hundreds of thousands of Kings, less than a hundred survived. The death rate was over ninety-nine percent, no, nine hundred and ninety-nine percent.
"Huff!"
Letting out a deep breath, Ye Chen uncrossed his arms.
In a short period of time, he had consumed thirty percent of his Zhen Yuan. It was more intense than a battle of several thousand rounds. Fortunately, there was no mishap in the end. The black-red energy wasn't enough to tear apart his defense.
In another lava passage, a beautiful woman wearing a fiery feather robe also lowered her slender right hand that was blocking the Fallen Fire Storm. Her expression was calm, but the aura leaking from her body was incomparably fiery, as if she herself was a fiery energy body.
"The second Fallen Fire Storm in a dozen years … Seems like the Desolate Planet has entered a true energy exhaustion period."
…
One!
Two!
Three! Four!
Ten!
Ye Chen suddenly discovered that the number of sparks had increased. Every now and then, there would be a fire crystal. Before long, Ye Chen had obtained twenty-four fire crystals, eighteen of which were low grade, and six of which were mid grade.
"Could it be that the energy storm brought the fire crystals out?"
Ye Chen guessed.
Ye Chen's guess was right. The fire crystals did come from the center of the Desolate Planet. Every time there was a Fallen Fire Storm, there would be a large amount of fire crystals spewing out.
As he went deeper, Ye Chen obtained more and more fire crystals. In the beginning, there were more low grade fire crystals, and then there were more mid grade fire crystals.
After two hours, Ye Chen had obtained a total of one hundred and fifty low grade fire crystals and one hundred and twenty mid grade fire crystals. Unfortunately, he hadn't found a single high grade fire crystal yet.
Fire crystals were divided into three grades: low grade, mid grade, and high grade. Fire crystals were divided into nine grades, and high grade fire crystals were equivalent to grade five or grade six ones. If he could obtain one, it would be extremely useful for Ye Chen. If he could obtain ten or more, he might be able to help Ye Chen break through to a grade six spirit body.
As for the spirit crystals, they were too rare. If one had a grade one spirit body when they were alive, only grade one spirit crystals would form in their bones after death, and it would take a long time. For example, if Ye Chen's body wasn't destroyed, his bones would only form grade five spirit crystals after death. There was no way he could form grade six spirit crystals. However, other than body refiners, how many people could have a spirit body above grade six, and the prerequisite was that their bodies weren't destroyed?
Of course, there were some treasures that could refine the spirit body, such as the Blood Crystal Flower, the Blood Demon Crystal, and the extremely rare Sky Demon Fire Spirit Fruit.
Unknowingly, Ye Chen had arrived at the depths of Desolate Planet.
This was a huge lava space. In the center of the lava space, there was a lava pillar that was hundreds of meters thick, connected to the top. The surface of the lava pillar was shining with a fiery red light.
"This is …?"
Ye Chen's eyes lit up. There were thousands of fire crystals on the lava pillar. His previous harvest paled in comparison to the fire crystals on the lava pillar. Most importantly, there were dozens of extremely powerful fire crystals. They were clearly high grade fire crystals.
"Hehe, the heavens are really kind to me, the Green Demon Emperor. Dozens of fire crystals are enough to upgrade my spirit body from early grade six to mid grade six."
From the third passage, a green-skinned titled monarch walked out. He was more than three meters tall and had thick muscles. He even had a crocodile-like tail behind him.
"Titled monarch of the Green Human Race."
Ye Chen looked over.
"Brat, if you leave now, I can spare your life. Otherwise, you won't be able to leave alive." The Green Demon Emperor released his aura and threatened.
"Childish."
In an instant, Ye Chen spread out his sword domain and rushed toward the lava pillar.
"Bastard."
The Green Demon Emperor's eyes were filled with killing intent as he also rushed over.
Shua!
With a suction force, hundreds of fire crystals fell into Ye Chen's hand. But at the same time, the Green Demon Emperor had already closed in and slashed at his head.
Boom!
The energy exploded, and the lava pillar broke apart. The remaining fire crystals scattered in all directions, hitting the walls of the lava space and making puffing sounds.
"Collecting the fire crystals first is more important."
Ye Chen didn't want to fight with the Green Demon Emperor for the time being. The shockwaves from their battle might destroy this space, and it would be difficult to collect fire crystals.
