The lightning ball and the meteor sword light clashed. In the next moment, a faint crack appeared. This was a spatial crack. Normally, only a battle between peak Emperors could tear the space apart. Ye Chen was still some distance away from peak Emperors. However, the Doomsday Meteor Sword and Primal Chaos Lightning Ball had a special nature, so it wasn't hard to understand why they would create spatial cracks.
The appearance of the spatial crack caused the entire space to shake. The Yuan Qi of the heaven and earth turned chaotic, showing signs of going berserk.
"Found it!"
Emperor Xue Kong formed hand seals, searching for the weak point of the minor five elemental thunder light array. It had to be said that the minor five elemental thunder light array was practically flawless. Even if it had a weak point, it was not something that a titled monarch like Emperor Xue Kong, who had yet to become an emperor, could detect. Even if Emperor Xue Kong had done some research on arrays, the appearance of the spatial crack, no, to be exact, it was Ye Chen's attack on the great array that had caused the great array's operation to pause for a moment. It was precisely this slight pause that Emperor Xue Kong caught. He hurriedly took out a small array flag from his storage ring, and with a flick of his hand, inserted it into the weak point of the great array. This array flag was no ordinary item, but a formation breaking flag. Its value was no less than a low grade emperor grade weapon. With the existence of the array flag, the minor five elemental thunder light array's operation would have to pass through the array flag. In other words, the array flag had already fused with the minor five elemental thunder light array, becoming a part of it. It could be described as a 'tumor'.
Finding the weak point would make breaking the formation much easier. Of course, if they relied on Ye Chen to forcefully break the formation, their attacking power wouldn't be enough.
"Not good!"
Demon Array Emperor's face turned ashen. Originally, he had the confidence to exhaust Ye Chen's group of five to death by relying on the formation. However, with the Snow Air Emperor's existence, this plan was ruined.
"Let's go!"
Without any hesitation, Demon Array Emperor took the lead and left the great formation, rapidly flying away from the island. He still had self-awareness and knew that he wasn't Ye Chen's opponent. Once the latter broke out of the formation, the five of them wouldn't be able to stop him.
With a huge bang, the formation collapsed. As for the five, they had long since left the place.
"They're lucky they ran fast."
The Scarlet Wind Emperor was extremely depressed. They had been trapped in the formation for no reason at all. If not for Ye Chen, they would have died without even their ashes remaining. His heart was extremely sullen.
Taking out an elementary inner core, Ye Chen replenished his lost sword energy. He glanced at the direction that the Demon Formation Emperor and the others fled to. If he was alone, he wouldn't mind chasing after them. However, this was the Heavenly River. It was inconvenient to communicate with each other and it would be easy to get separated.
…
The Heavenly River had no year, moon, or day, but it had endless flowing water.
The river flowed at an extremely fast speed, and it possessed the property of spatial fluctuations. Often, it would travel hundreds or even thousands of light-years without anyone noticing. Of course, spatial fluctuations didn't happen all the time. There was a pattern to it. The time of the tide was the peak of spatial fluctuations, and it was very difficult to encounter it during normal times.
On this day, as the tide rose, the scenery around the Scarlet Wind immediately became blurry. The next moment, the world spun and the Scarlet Wind arrived at an archipelago.
"An archipelago?"
The Flamingo Emperor cried out in alarm.
In the Celestial River Domain, encountering an island was already a fortunate thing, but encountering an archipelago was a sign of great luck. It was possible that one would never encounter an archipelago in their entire lives.
"It is indeed an archipelago."
The Stone Man Emperor revealed a smile and let out a sigh of relief. In the blink of an eye, they had drifted on the Heavenly River for almost two years. If they still couldn't find the Imperial Spirit Root, he had the thought of returning home. After all, he couldn't let Ye Chen and the others keep drifting on the Heavenly River with him.
"Maybe we can find the Imperial Spirit Root this time."
The Scarlet Wind Emperor and the Snow Air Emperor smiled.
Although it was called an archipelago, the number of islands was actually limited. There were eight in total. The two larger islands were the closest to each other, while the other six guarded the two larger islands.
Among the eight islands, seven of them were lush and full of life. The last island was a volcanic island, and the smell of sulfur spread far and wide.
However, what disappointed the five was that this archipelago seemed to have been visited before. There weren't many precious primordial spirit herbs, and even if there were some, their age was very young. It seemed that they had only grown in the last thousand years and weren't very useful.
"Let's go to the volcanic island and have a look."
Soon, the five of them had searched the seven lush islands and decided to search the last one, the volcanic island.
The five didn't know the growing environment of the Imperial Spirit Root. Perhaps, the volcanic island still had a glimmer of hope.
Arriving at the volcanic island, the Snow Air Emperor couldn't help but cough a few times.
The smell of sulfur here was too dense, and different from ordinary sulfur. The sulfur on the volcanic island carried an intense fire poison that could instantly kill any King under the sixth layer of Life and Death realm. Although it couldn't kill the five, it wouldn't feel good either. Only the Fire Sparrow Emperor wasn't affected. She was a fire attribute demonic beast, the descendant of the phoenix. She naturally liked places with fire.
After searching for a while, the five still didn't find anything. Eventually, their gazes landed on the active volcano at the center of the island.
"We can only enter the volcano."
The Snow Air Emperor said.
"I'll lead the way."
The Fire Sparrow Emperor soared into the sky and turned into a line of fire, shooting toward the active volcano. Ye Chen and the others followed behind her.
The active volcano was huge, tens of thousands of meters tall, and immeasurably deep. The fiery mouth at the top was like a fiery abyss, making one's heart tremble with fear.
Waves of heat rose up, bringing up thousands of meters of pale red Qi flow. Ye Chen gave it a try. Merely the pale red Qi flow could melt a Heavenly King grade artifact. Ye Chen wondered if the Emperor grade artifact would also be melted if he went deeper. This place naturally contained extreme fire profound, poison profound, yang profound, and earth profound.
Caw!
Along with the pale red Qi flow, a red figure suddenly shot out and attacked the Fire Sparrow Emperor.
"Courting death!"
The Fire Sparrow Emperor spat out a fire dragon, using fire to fight fire.
The phoenix flames were the strongest flames in the world. The red figure was clearly a fire monster, but it was unable to block the phoenix flames. It cried out miserably as it was burned. The five of them looked carefully and saw that it was a fire monster that looked like a crow.
Puchi!
The flame extinguished, and the fire monster was burned to ashes, leaving behind a red crystal.
Holding it in his hand, the Fire Sparrow Emperor said, "This is also a Beast Dan."
The Beast Dan of a fire monster wasn't very big. It couldn't compare to the Beast Dan of a low-level water monster, and its effect was much weaker. But different from the water monster Dan, the fire monster Dan had an element, so it wasn't suitable for people who didn't cultivate fire element arts.
With the Fire Sparrow Emperor leading the way, the five went deeper and deeper.
Along the way, more and more fire monsters appeared.
At first, there were fire monsters that looked like crows, and they had the strength of three-star generals. Later, three-headed fire birds appeared. Three-legged fire birds had the strength of five-star generals. Continuing down, human-faced bird monsters suddenly appeared. These human-faced bird monsters were no weaker than low-tier water monsters, and they had the strength of low-tier emperors.
Although the Fire Sparrow Emperor was a descendant of the phoenix and could naturally suppress fire element beasts, the difference was still the difference. Therefore, the Scarlet Wind Emperor and Ye Chen had to take the lead.
