Ye Chen's guess was right. A Mid Level Heavenly King Set would not be able to block a full power strike from the Fire Crystal Beast Emperor, and would definitely be torn apart. The Skeleton Ocean Emperor's Mid Level Heavenly King Set had a claw mark on it.
"Run!"
In that instant, the Sword Domain was pushed to the limit, and Ye Chen's speed increased rapidly.
Roar!
The Fire Crystal Beast Emperor suddenly opened its mouth, shooting a golden-red beam of light at Ye Chen, who was following behind the Skeleton Ocean Emperor. Rumble, along the way, any obstacle was pierced through. In the next moment, three Fire Crystal Beasts that were lined up in a line exploded, turning into pools of fiery red liquid. Ye Chen secretly wiped the sweat off his forehead, still feeling a lingering fear. Just now, he had felt an unprecedented danger, and subconsciously rushed in front of the three Fire Crystal Beasts. As expected, the three Fire Crystal Beasts had died instantly. If not for the three Fire Crystal Beasts blocking him, Ye Chen was sure that he would not have been any better off than his opponents, and would have been annihilated.
Compared to combat power, Ye Chen's greatest weakness was his defense.
Defense was related to cultivation level and defensive artifacts. If one's cultivation level was low, their defense would naturally be low, and if their defensive artifacts were low grade, their defense would also be low. With the two combined, Ye Chen's defense was much weaker than the Skeleton Ocean Emperor's, at least dozens of times weaker. This was also with the existence of the Sword Intent Shield, otherwise, the difference would be at least one or two hundred times.
"Escaping also requires a strategy. Hopefully, my luck will be better."
Not every life or death crisis could be turned around. The terrifying attack power of the Fire Crystal Beast Emperor had caused Ye Chen to lose all hope. After all, he couldn't possibly increase his defense by dozens or even hundreds of times in a critical moment. That was impossible.
With an idea in mind, Ye Chen flew towards the area where there were a few Fire Crystal Beasts. If there were too many of them, they would become obstacles, and if there were too few, it would not be enough to block the Fire Crystal Beast Emperor. Only when there were a few of them, could they become Ye Chen's shield and fight for a chance of survival.
"Brat, I can't believe you would have such a moment!"
Skeleton Ocean Emperor was faster than Ye Chen, and with Ye Chen behind him, he was much more relaxed. He suddenly stabbed at Ye Chen with his spear, causing spear images to shoot out.
"Damn it."
Ye Chen didn't dare to face the Skeleton Sea Emperor head-on. If he did, his speed would definitely decrease sharply. Swoosh, Ye Chen's figure refracted and slightly shifted his direction, dodging the spear shadow attack.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Skeleton Ocean Emperor continued to attack Ye Chen.
"This can't go on."
Although he dodged the Skeleton Ocean Emperor's attacks again and again, Ye Chen's speed was still affected. The Fire Crystal Emperor was getting closer and closer to him.
"I need to increase my speed."
After thinking about it, Ye Chen could only think of one way, and that was to increase his speed.
If he was fast enough, he would be able to maintain a certain distance from the Fire Crystal Beast Emperor. There was no other way.
Boom!
The four Fire Crystal Beasts were melted into liquid by the golden-red light. A few drops of liquid splashed on Ye Chen's Protective Zhen Yuan, creating a sizzling sound.
"I can only comprehend the space profound."
Ye Chen gritted his teeth and decided to walk the path of comprehending the space profound.
Ye Chen had comprehended eighty percent of the space profound a long time ago, and he only needed an opportunity to reach ninety percent. God Paradise didn't have the space profound tower, so he could only rely on himself.
Getting rid of all distracting thoughts, Ye Chen entered the ethereal state.
Of course, although he had entered the ethereal state, it didn't mean that Ye Chen had lost his vigilance against danger. Any attack would cause a space ripple, which would transmit to Ye Chen's body. Ye Chen's body would react instinctively. This was an ability that could only be obtained after comprehending eighty percent of the space profound. If it was only seventy percent, then it would be much weaker, and Ye Chen wouldn't take the risk to comprehend it in such a dangerous situation.
"What's going on?"
After several attacks, Ye Chen had dodged them all. The Skeleton Ocean Emperor could tell that something was wrong. It seemed that no matter how he attacked, there wouldn't be much of an effect, unless he could get close to the latter and launch an attack that the latter couldn't dodge.
"Forget it, the Fire Crystal Beast Emperor will catch up to him soon. With him here, I won't be in any danger."
The Skeleton Ocean Emperor gave up on attacking Ye Chen and focused on escaping.
The Fire Crystal Beast Emperor attacked Ye Chen tirelessly. It opened its mouth and shot out a golden-red light beam. The aura of this light beam was a bit like qi power, but it was very advanced. It seemed to be the combination of qi power and fire power.
Three hundred miles!
Two hundred and eighty miles!
Two hundred and fifty miles!
Two hundred and twenty miles!
The distance between the Fire Crystal Beast Emperor and Ye Chen was getting shorter and shorter. The golden-red light beam's power was also getting stronger. Sometimes, there would be a trace of aftershock that would hit Ye Chen's body, causing Ye Chen's escape route to change.
Ye Chen didn't have any distracting thoughts in his mind. He was completely immersed in comprehending space profound.
His eyes looked empty, but they were actually flickering with countless sparks of wisdom.
In his eyes, many spatial nodes appeared, and between them were spatial trajectories. Spatial trajectories weren't static and could change at any time. However, with eighty percent of the space profound, Ye Chen had already grasped some of the rules of spatial trajectories. Everything had rules. If there wasn't a rule, then there was no order, which represented chaos. There was no concept of space, no concept of time, no concept of yin and yang, no light and darkness, and no five elements. Obviously, this was an orderly world, so there had to be rules.
Eighty percent of the space profound allowed Ye Chen to grasp some rules, but it wasn't enough for him to reach the speed of light in space. He had to grasp more rules.
If his space profound could be perfected, teleportation would be easy. That was because the perfected space profound could allow him to understand the rules of spatial trajectories.
Forgetting the existence of time, forgetting the existence of danger, and not knowing how much time had passed, Ye Chen's mind gained a new understanding. This understanding was like a spark on a prairie. Once it formed a climate, it would be enough to sweep the entire prairie.
The Barren Planet was huge, with a diameter of tens of millions of miles. Flying inside the Barren Planet, there were many obstacles, and the speed wasn't even one ten-thousandth of the speed in space. Even so, Ye Chen was gradually approaching the core of the Barren Planet.
…
Boom boom boom …
The battle between the Dark Dragon Emperor and the Fire Crystal Beast Emperor was shocking. Explosions rang out everywhere, and the surroundings were completely destroyed, forming a huge spherical space.
In the center of the spherical space, the Dark Dragon Emperor and the Fire Crystal Beast Emperor were constantly fighting.
"Powerful indeed."
The Dark Dragon Emperor stared at the Fire Crystal Beast Emperor. Its attacks were very strong. If he wasn't wearing top-tier Emperor armor, he would have been injured long ago. Especially the golden-red pillar of light that the Fire Crystal Beast Emperor shot out. Even through the top-tier Emperor armor, the Dark Dragon Emperor could feel waves of heat passing into his body.
"But you don't feel good either!"
The Dark Dragon Emperor was wearing a pair of black and gold steel gloves. These steel gloves were called the Sky-Rending Gloves, a low-tier Emperor weapon. With his rank as a five-star general, he didn't have the right to buy low-tier Emperor weapons. Low-tier Emperor weapons seemed to be the weakest among Emperor weapons, but they were still ten or twenty times stronger than top-tier Emperor weapons. The Sky-Rending Gloves were obtained in a secret territory, and he viewed them as his most precious treasure. Without them, he would be an ordinary five-star general.
Following the Dark Dragon Emperor's gaze, one could see that there were many claw marks on the Fire Crystal Beast Emperor's body. The claw marks were difficult to heal, and they contained the power of an Emperor weapon.
Roar!
The Fire Crystal Beast Emperor growled. Its blood-gold eyes were full of murderous intent.
It was more intelligent than ordinary Fire Crystal Beasts and Fire Crystal Beast Kings. It understood that with its strength, it couldn't do anything to the Dark Dragon Emperor in a short time. The Dark Dragon Emperor's defense was stronger than its own, and it was practically indestructible. However, it wasn't in a hurry. Its power could be said to be endless, and Barren Planet was its home. The Dark Dragon Emperor's power would be depleted sooner or later.
It wanted to exhaust the Dark Dragon Emperor to death.
Just like the Fire Crystal Beast Emperor, the Dark Dragon Emperor also wanted to exhaust the Fire Crystal Beast Emperor to death.
The Dark Dragon Emperor's demonic body had already reached the seventh level. Ordinary high-level Fire Crystals were useless to him. Only the Fire Crystal Beast Emperor's body was useful to him. If he could kill the Fire Crystal Beast Emperor and take its more precious parts, he might be able to upgrade his demonic body from the early seventh level to the middle seventh level. After all, the demonic body and spirit body were harder to upgrade, and the treasures needed were more precious. It was rare to encounter a Fire Crystal Beast Emperor, so the Dark Dragon Emperor wouldn't let it go.
Unfortunately, the Fire Crystal Beast Emperor wasn't completely made of Fire Crystals. It was a mixture of many different materials, and only the most essential parts seemed to be top-level Fire Crystals. Top-level Fire Crystals were very rare, and could be used to refine a seventh level spirit body.
Of course, if the Fire Crystal Beast Emperor was completely made of Fire Crystals, the Dark Dragon Emperor probably wouldn't be its opponent.
…
One hundred and fifty miles.
One hundred and twenty miles.
One hundred miles.
The distance between the Fire Crystal Beast Emperor and Ye Chen was only one hundred miles. If this distance was in a vacuum, it wouldn't be anything. Even inside the Desolate Planet, it would only take one or two breaths. Boom! In such a short distance, the Fire Crystal Beast Emperor's golden-red light pillar's power increased exponentially. Three or four normal Fire Crystal Beasts couldn't be used as a shield anymore, and were directly evaporated into a fiery red mist. The shockwave hit Ye Chen's body, almost breaking Ye Chen's protective Zhen Yuan.
Eighty miles!
Seventy miles!
Fifty miles!
Finally, the distance between the two was only fifty miles.
This time, the golden-red light pillar was unstoppable.
It looked like Ye Chen was about to be hit.
"Success!"
Ye Chen shuddered, and his speed increased drastically. The golden-red light pillar brushed past his lower body. Boom! A huge lava tunnel was blasted into nothingness, turning into a black-red liquid.
"So close!"
Ye Chen was both surprised and happy.
Shocked because he almost died, but happy because his space profound had reached ninety percent completion. This meant that his speed in vacuum could reach light speed, which was not inferior to Skeleton Ocean Emperor's.
However, Ye Chen could feel that his light speed was different from Skeleton Ocean Emperor's. Skeleton Ocean Emperor's light speed wasn't very agile, but Ye Chen, who had comprehended ninety percent of space profound, was not only fast, but also incomparably agile. He could change his direction at any time, just like a favored child of space.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Flickering, Ye Chen easily dodged the golden-red light pillar.
