Roar!
The giant head of the Evil Beast was completely exposed. It looked like a giant island. It opened its mouth and roared, causing waves to soar up to the sky.
"Such a powerful sound wave."
Although the Scarlet Wind Warship was an emperor grade warship that could withstand the attack of a Beginner Combat Emperor, and a Middle Combat Emperor wouldn't be able to break the defensive barrier of the Scarlet Wind Warship in a short period of time. However, the roar of the Evil Beast still shook the Scarlet Wind Warship. The pale red defensive barrier kept distorting and deforming, producing a creaking sound that made people's teeth ache.
"Get down."
After the main cannon finished charging, the Scarlet Wind Emperor's thoughts moved, and two beams of red light bombarded the Terror Beast's head. An earth-shattering sound rang out, but it was unknown if the Terror Beast was injured. However, the powerful impact caused the Terror Beast to sink to the bottom of the water. The splashing waves were like flying swords that struck the Scarlet Wind Ship's defensive barrier, making "pa pa" sounds.
Without any hesitation, the Scarlet Wind Emperor controlled the Scarlet Wind Warship and flew away at a low altitude. It was an arduous and unrewarding task to fight a Middle Level Water Monster to death. The combat strength of a Middle Level Water Monster was similar to a Middle Level Emperor, but its life force was thousands of times stronger than a Middle Level Emperor. It was extremely difficult to kill it.
Unfortunately, the Scarlet Wind Emperor had miscalculated the difficulty of dealing with the Evil Beast.
In the white mist, a long black shadow broke through the water and flew towards the Scarlet Wind Warship.
With a bang, the Scarlet Wind Warship was sent flying. It eventually hit the surface of the water, sliding and rolling all the way.
The black shadow was the tail of the Evil Beast. It was a few hundred miles long and was covered with a layer of cuticle like the skin of a crocodile.
Swoosh!
At this moment, a silhouette flew out from the Scarlet Wind Warship and slashed at the eye of the Evil Beast.
Puchi!
No matter how strong the Evil Beast was, it only had the strength of a Middle Level Emperor. It only had a strong life force. The one who attacked was Ye Chen. After casting Momentary Brilliance, he instantly opened up a deep bloody hole on the left eye of the Evil Beast. Countless sword Qi formed a spiral shape and sliced at the Evil Beast.
Roar!
Feeling the pain, the Terror Beast unceasingly slapped the Heavenly River's surface. All of a sudden, a boundless white mist rose up like thick smoke, making one unable to see their own fingers in front of them. However, the Terror Beast was not affected by the white mist, and its tail accurately lashed out at Ye Chen.
"Troublesome!"
Ye Chen frowned. In the Milky Way, his soul power was restricted by the fog and could only spread out a small area. Only when the tail was about to reach him did he react. Clang! The Flying Heaven Sword swept horizontally and Ye Chen firmly blocked the tail of the Terror Beast. However, the tail's power couldn't be removed, and it sent Ye Chen flying backward into the river.
"This is the water of the Heavenly River. It's so cold!"
The moment he entered the bottom of the Heavenly River, Ye Chen's first reaction was cold, and his second reaction was still cold. This kind of cold was not only on his body, but also on his soul. It seemed like even his thoughts were frozen. Moreover, as the depth increased, the temperature of the river plummeted. There were even white ice crystals forming on Ye Chen's body.
However, what made Ye Chen feel strange was that his vision was not restricted at the bottom of the Heavenly River. Although his soul power was slightly restricted, it was not as big as above. He could see the scene tens of thousands of li away. He saw other water beasts. Based on their body shape, they were all low grade water beasts. They didn't compete with the Evil Beast above for food. Moreover, at the bottom of the river, these water beasts were very lazy. They swam very slowly, and their eyes were very dull.
"Too cold!"
When he reached a thousand meters deep, he started to feel that he couldn't bear the cold anymore. If he continued, he might be frozen and fall into an eternal slumber.
Fortunately, the power on his body had disappeared. Ye Chen operated his Zhen Yuan and rushed up. The ice crystals on his body also shattered and fell off.
Boom!
The water column exploded, and Ye Chen rushed out.
Facing him was still the Evil Beast's tail. The Heavenly River was the territory of the water beasts. They could easily observe their movements, but not Ye Chen.
"Open!"
A silver light flickered between his eyebrows as Ye Chen opened his soul eyes.
Once he opened his soul eyes, the situation became much better. His vision could see more than a thousand li away. The Flying Heaven Sword clashed with the Evil Beast's tail. Ye Chen borrowed the force and moved hundreds of li away as if he was weightless. Without any hesitation, Ye Chen performed his strongest sword art at the Evil Beast — Doomsday Meteor Sword.
Ha!
The Flying Heaven Sword was like a huge fire god sword as it slashed out.
The huge sword light was many times bigger than the Evil Beast's body. The Evil Beast couldn't dodge at all, and was directly hit by the meteor-like sword light.
Swoosh!
Black blood burst out. The center of the Evil Beast's body was cut open. Its internal organs were black like the blood. Only that huge Inner Dan was white, as pure as the Heavenly River's water. However, the Evil Beast didn't die after receiving this attack. Its body sank, and it was about to sink into the water.
"Where are you going?"
How could Ye Chen let go of this opportunity? The Doomsday Meteor Sword had used up one-third of his sword energy. If he didn't get anything out of it, it would be a waste.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Chen performed the Doomsday Meteor Sword again. The sword energy in his body was instantly reduced by half.
With a rumbling sound, the Heavenly River's water was cut open, and the Evil Beast's body was cut into four pieces. The violent Doomsday Sword Qi wreaked havoc, killing the Evil Beast's vitality.
After struggling for a while, the Evil Beast finally died completely. It floated on the river's surface, and its black blood dyed the water black.
With a gentle push, Ye Chen landed on the Evil Beast's body. With a wave of his hand, a white Inner Dan the size of a small mountain flew over. By the time it reached his hand, it had shrunk to the size of a bowl. Waves of white light surged around it, and Essence surged.
The Inner Dan of a mid-ranked water monster was worth one billion Essence Stones. It was more or less enough to replenish Ye Chen's sword energy thrice. Of course, Ye Chen himself had lost two-thirds of his sword energy.
When he left, Ye Chen discovered dozens of low-ranked water monsters rushing over, fighting over the Evil Beast's corpse. The black blood seemed to be nourishing to them, and they fought over it crazily. In just a short while, the Evil Beast's mountain-sized body was snatched clean. The river's surface also recovered its white color, without a trace of impurities.
Revealing a pensive expression, Ye Chen didn't go and kill them. The fog here was too thick. If he didn't leave now, he would sink deeper and deeper. Moreover, he could faintly sense a horrifying aura attacking him.
"Ye Chen, what happened to the Evil Beast?"
Seeing that Ye Chen had returned to the Scarlet Wind, the Scarlet Wind Emperor asked.
"Dead!"
Ye Chen took out the Evil Beast's Inner Dan.
"Mid-ranked Inner Dan … It's indeed dead. Impressive! You've just entered the seventh layer of Life and Death Realm, and you already have the strength to contend against high-ranked Emperors. Perhaps in a few years, when you enter the eighth layer, you'll be an invincible existence under Supremes." The Scarlet Wind Emperor raised his thumb. Although he was at the eighth layer of Life and Death Realm, his strength was far inferior to Ye Chen's. He was only equivalent to an ordinary Emperor.
A while after the Scarlet Wind Ship left, an even bigger head appeared. This head's eyes were much bigger than the Evil Beast's, and its body was completely hidden in the river.
…
Time flowed like the water of the Heavenly River. Unknowingly, two years had passed.
During this year, the group didn't find any Heavenly River Islands. They were extremely rare, and not that easy to find. However, they did obtain a lot of low-ranked Inner Dans and mid-ranked Inner Dans, which were better than nothing.
On this day, the five of them observed an island far away from where they were.
"It's an island!"
Fire Sparrow Emperor and Snow Air Emperor were pleasantly surprised.
A joyful expression flickered on Stone Emperor's face as he smiled bitterly, "That's a modified island for trading. There's no harm in going there. Who knows, we might be able to trade for something good."
