"I'll spare your life for now."
The Green Demon Emperor could also see the destruction caused by the aftermath of the battle. After this battle, not even a single fire crystal could be seen. Instead of that, it was better to collect fire crystals first. After collecting all the fire crystals, he would kill Ye Chen and seize his wealth and crystals.
With their abilities, collecting fire crystals was naturally very fast. In less than half an hour, all the fire crystals had been collected. Ye Chen obtained 28 high-level fire crystals, 980 mid-level fire crystals, and more than a thousand low-level fire crystals, totaling more than 1,500. The Green Demon Emperor, on the other hand, had much less than Ye Chen. He only obtained 12 high-level fire crystals, more than 300 mid-level fire crystals, and more than 500 low-level fire crystals.
"Brat, spit out the fire crystals, and I can show mercy and leave your corpse intact."
The Green Demon Emperor's pair of green eyes stared at Ye Chen. As a three-star general, the Green Demon Emperor had a mid-level Emperor-grade armour and a low-level Emperor-grade weapon. Although his strength couldn't compare to a four-star general, it would still be difficult for a four-star general to kill him. In terms of difficulty, a general's promotion was definitely more difficult than a purple gold commander's. A purple gold commander's combat strength was high enough, but if a general wanted to promote, they would have to step over the corpses of other generals to succeed. However, sometimes, even if the difference in combat strength was ten times or even tens of times higher, they might not be able to kill the other. After all, which general didn't have an Emperor-grade armour?
"I'll return those words to you."
Ye Chen didn't take the other party seriously. At his level, even a four-star general could only defeat him at most. They wouldn't be able to cause too much damage to him.
"Courting death."
With a flick of his tail, the Green Demon Emperor appeared in front of Ye Chen like a ghost. A thick green palm slashed towards Ye Chen.
Ye Chen unsheathed his sword and blocked this attack.
Peng!
A shockwave spread out, causing cracks to appear in the lava space.
"Hm? There's something going on! "
The Green Demon Emperor was somewhat astonished. Ye Chen's cultivation base was at the fifth layer of Life and Death realm, which was two whole heavens lower than him. Normally speaking, the difference in Zhen Yuan between a fifth layer and a seventh layer was a thousand times. Of course, this was the sum of Zhen Yuan quantity and quality.
"It's not over yet?"
His body suddenly spun in the air as the Green Demon Emperor's thick tail swept over. The tip of the tail contained a green light. Obviously, the Green Demon Emperor had concentrated a large amount of his Zhen Yuan there.
Although the Green Demon Emperor's movement was as fast as lightning, without the slightest gap, unfortunately, he was facing Ye Chen. In a battle, Ye Chen would never give his enemies any chance to take advantage of him. Shoo! Ye Chen quickly retreated, dodging the Green Demon Emperor's attack. Then, he used the Sword Domain's condensing power to eliminate the retreating force and changed it into a forward force. Right at this moment, the Green Demon Emperor was in the midst of using up all of his energy. Shoo! The Dragon Spring Sword drew a bright beam of light in the air, piercing towards the Green Demon Emperor's throat.
"Not good!"
The Green Demon Emperor didn't expect Ye Chen to attack so quickly. Having miscalculated, he hastily crossed his arms and blocked Ye Chen's sword.
Sparks flew everywhere as the Green Demon Emperor's body was blasted back, crashing through several rock walls.
"It's a mid grade Emperor grade armor." Ye Chen shook his head helplessly. If the Green Demon Emperor's armor was a low grade Emperor grade, he would've had the confidence to kill him. But now, it was even more difficult than before. After all, every time an Emperor grade armor's grade increased, its defensive power would greatly increase. After being weakened by the Emperor grade armor, the true destructive power transmitted to the Green Demon Emperor's body was limited.
Not wanting to waste any more time, Ye Chen gave up on the battle and turned to leave.
"Want to leave? Not so easy!"
The Green Demon Emperor flew into a rage out of humiliation. In any case, he was a Three Star General of the Greenmen Race. Yet, he was beaten black and blue by a mere fifth layer Life and Death King. How could he not feel angry and humiliated? Roar! With a loud roar, the Green Demon Emperor raised his right hand, and a dark green light sphere condensed in his palm. As the light sphere became more and more solid, a character appeared within it. This character was the character of the Greenmen Race, 'Exterminate'.
"Go die!"
His right hand fiercely pushed forward, and the light sphere shot out at a speed that was hundreds and thousands of times faster. Even from far away, Ye Chen could feel the intense destructive power.
"Third Revolution Martial Skill!"
Ye Chen was not surprised that the Green Demon Emperor could use a third revolution martial skill. Under normal circumstances, any titled Monarch could create a third revolution martial skill. It should be known that the higher one's cultivation base was, the higher one's comprehension would be. This was similar to the height one was at. If it were a ninth layer Life and Death King, they would be able to create a third or fourth revolution martial skill in an instant. This was because their height was so high that they could already see through the mysteries of martial skills.
Not daring to be negligent, Ye Chen used Extreme Sun Essence Transformation to meet the attack head-on. The sword Qi was countless times more dazzling than any sunlight. It was like the first ray of light since the creation of the world, colliding with the dark green light sphere.
Crack!
Without any suspense, the dark green light sphere only lasted for a split second before it was cleaved apart by the sword Qi. The sword Qi's momentum didn't dissipate as it continued on its path toward the Green Demon Emperor.
"Impossible!" The Green Demon Emperor had been shocked too many times today. In his eyes, Ye Chen's battle strength was simply inconceivable. He had never seen a fifth layer Life and Death King with such battle strength. Bang! Rays of light exploded, and the Green Demon Emperor was once again blasted away. He flipped several times in the air, and a trace of blood leaked out of the corner of his mouth. Although the armor was powerful, it couldn't block all attacks.
"Green Demon Emperor, you are not my opponent. If not for your armor, today would be the day of your death." Ye Chen's voice came from afar as he left.
"Damn it!"
The Green Demon Emperor's face turned ashen, and his eyes were filled with a cold killing intent.
"This kid is a freak. Next time I see him, I'll definitely kill him without leaving any future troubles." The Green Man Race and the human race were also mortal enemies. The appearance of a frightening genius in the human race was not a good thing for his race.
Swish!
With a flicker, the Green Demon Emperor entered another lava passage.
"Twenty-eight high grade spirit energy fire crystals should be enough to upgrade my spirit body to the sixth step." Looking for a slightly smaller lava space, Ye Chen stopped and flipped his hand. Twenty-eight high grade spirit energy fire crystals appeared in his palm.
When he was in Elysium, Ye Chen's spirit body had already reached the late fifth step. After leaving Elysium, his spirit body had made some progress, reaching the peak of the fifth step. However, he was not a body refining King. Although he could upgrade his spirit body slightly, upgrading it to the next step was extremely difficult. Without treasures, it was basically impossible.
Peak fifth step spirit body and sixth step spirit body didn't seem to have much difference, but the significance was completely different.
Once the spirit body reached the sixth step, not only would the physical body's defense be stronger, but it would also have the ability to absorb damage. For example, the opponent could make you vomit blood with a single palm, but with a sixth step spirit body, it would be many times more difficult for the opponent to injure you. The majority of Monarchs' spirit bodies were the same as Ye Chen's, peak fifth step, unless they had treasures that could temper their spirit body. However, such treasures were too difficult to find.
So far, the one with the highest spirit body that Ye Chen had seen was Peerless King Ah Jiu. In the Divine Trial Field, Ah Jiu had revealed his spirit body to be at the late sixth step.
Of course, Ye Chen also had the seventh step Immortal Sword Intent. With the Immortal Sword Intent protecting him, Ye Chen's pure defense was stronger than a late sixth step spirit body, equivalent to a peak sixth step spirit body. If his spirit body also reached the sixth step, it would undoubtedly be like adding wings to a tiger.
Putting away the twenty-four high grade spirit energy fire crystals, Ye Chen held two in each hand and sat down cross-legged, preparing to absorb the energy from the fire crystals to temper his spirit body.
Gurgle!
The energy in the high grade spirit energy fire crystals was too majestic. Four scorching currents flowed through the Laogong Meridian on his palm and entered his body, rapidly tempering his flesh and bones, changing his physique.
When he finished absorbing the energy from the four high grade spirit energy fire crystals, a layer of scarlet flame appeared on the surface of Ye Chen's body. This was a sign that his blood and Qi were too vigorous.
Without wasting any time, Ye Chen took out another four high grade spirit energy fire crystals …
Twelve!
Sixteen!
By the time he had consumed sixteen high grade spirit energy fire crystals, Ye Chen's body had undergone earth-shaking changes. As his flesh and bones wriggled, a violent qualitative change occurred. It was as if he had turned from an infant to a child. His appetite increased greatly, crazily absorbing the energy from the fire crystals to strengthen his body. Not only that, his flesh and bones also contained the power of decomposition. Much of Ye Chen's Zhen Yuan had been decomposed. Fortunately, after a period of time, his flesh and bones had familiarized themselves with the Zhen Yuan and no longer decomposed.
"So, the sixth step spirit body doesn't absorb damage. Instead, it first absorbs and then decomposes."
At this moment, Ye Chen had finally upgraded his spirit body to the early sixth step. He had also understood the profoundness of the sixth step spirit body. Compared to the fifth step spirit body, the sixth step spirit body no longer passively received damage. Instead, it absorbed the damage and decomposed it. As the saying went, there was no such thing as the strongest defense, but there was always the strongest defensive method.
Zi zi zi!
As soon as the sixth step spirit body was formed, Ye Chen's vitality field immediately erupted. Earth, water, fire, wind, and lightning flashed in the lava space, making Ye Chen look like a god.
Gradually withdrawing his vitality field and blood and Qi, Ye Chen stood up.
"Why do I feel a little empty?"
He punched out, creating a gust of wind. A few cracks appeared in the lava space. However, Ye Chen felt a little empty and was in a hurry to replenish his energy.
"Could it be that the sixth step spirit body can stimulate cultivation?"
Ye Chen guessed inwardly.
Ye Chen's guess was both wrong and wrong. It was not that the sixth step spirit body could stimulate cultivation, but that the higher the spirit body's rank, the greater the thirst for cultivation. Thus, the body naturally reacted. The reason why body refining kings could dominate the world and occupy important positions was closely related to their spirit bodies. It was said that the ninth step spirit bodies of Life and Death Supremes could be called Undying Body. This was a physical power that was millions of times more frightening than the Undying Body. It was simply unbreakable, and even injuring it would be difficult. Of course, body refining supremes were much weaker than other Supremes in terms of domains. There were gains and losses.
"There are still twelve high grade spirit energy fire crystals left. I wonder if I can upgrade my spirit body to mid sixth step?"
"Forget it, let's wait until the sixth step spirit body stabilizes first. I don't want to waste them."
As this thought flashed through his mind, Ye Chen continued deeper into Desolate Planet.
