The volcano was thirty thousand meters high, and Ye Chen's group gradually went deeper. Due to the powerful updraft, their speed was not fast. After half a cup of tea's time, they had only reached six thousand meters from the bottom.
"The color has changed!"
The updraft turned from light red to dark red.
Three thousand meters from the bottom, the color changed again, turning scarlet.
At three thousand meters, the scarlet color turned black.
When they reached the bottom of the volcano, the color of the airflow had turned black, and the origin of the airflow was the black magma at the bottom of the volcano. Although it was called magma, the strange thing was that the temperature around the magma was very low. The ground was covered in black ice, and when one stepped on it, the bone-chilling cold immediately drilled in like little snakes.
"Strange, there is actually bone-chilling magma, so why is the updraft hot?" Snow Air Emperor could not figure it out. She cultivated an ice attribute art, and although she still felt a little uncomfortable, it was not a big deal.
Stone Emperor bent down and touched the black ice. Kacha! It seemed that he did not use Zhen Yuan to protect himself, and his palm immediately turned into a black ice sculpture. When Stone Emperor circulated his Zhen Yuan to expel it, his palm instantly shattered. This black ice was extremely tyrannical, and once frozen, it would be impossible to expel the cold qi.
Stone Emperor circulated his Undying Body, and his palm recovered. He sighed and said, "If I guessed correctly, this is the legendary Nine Nether Cold Ice, which can freeze everything in the world. Moreover, it is divided into nine grades. If it was high grade Nine Nether Cold Ice, we would have been frozen and shattered the moment we landed."
"Nine Nether Cold Ice?"
It was Ye Chen's first time hearing about such a strange thing, and from Stone Emperor's tone, it seemed to be very frightening.
Stone Emperor explained, "I'm afraid you all do not know this, but in the ancient era, this Sky River was not only called Sky River, but also Nine Nether Yellow Spring, which connects to hell. Legend has it that hell has ice and fire. The ice is the Nine Nether Cold Ice, and the fire is the Hell Fire. Being sealed by the Nine Nether Cold Ice, even the soul would be frozen and turned into powder.
"This is not possible, right? Is there really a hell? "
The Scarlet Wind Emperor had a look of disbelief.
The Fire Sparrow Emperor looked at the Scarlet Wind Emperor with disdain and said, "Although I haven't seen any information about Hell, my Phoenix Clan has heard of Hell since ancient times. It is said that one of my Phoenix Clan's primogenitors entered Hell, but there was no news of them afterwards. However, another primogenitor said that the primogenitor who entered Hell had already fallen."
Hell was a synonym for mystery and terror in every race. It was just that no one had ever entered Hell before. Perhaps some people had entered Hell before, just like the ancestors of the Phoenix race, but none of them had ever come out. Naturally, there was a lack of evidence.
"Then why is there Nine Hells Frozen Ice here? Nine Hells Frozen Ice should only appear in Hell!" Snow Air Emperor asked.
Ye Chen guessed, "Perhaps this is an entrance to hell."
"Entrance?"
Hearing Ye Chen's words, the Scarlet Wind Emperor and the others couldn't help but take a step back. They didn't want to enter Hell. Not to mention anything else, just the black lava alone was unbearable.
Stone Emperor said, "There are many entrances to Hell. Every living world has a Blood Weeping Ghost Region. It's said that it's a small projection of Hell, and those with great abilities can find the entrance. As for the depths of Heavenly River, there is a barrier that can only be seen after reaching a certain depth. If you want to enter, it'll be much more difficult. You'll have to break the barrier in order to enter, and that's Yellow Spring. Yellow Spring and Heavenly River are two sides of the same coin."
Ye Chen faintly nodded. Elysium indeed had a Blood Weeping Ghost Region, and Ye Chen had entered it once. However, it was very desolate, and there wasn't anything that Ye Chen needed. Therefore, Ye Chen hadn't entered again. For some reason, Ye Chen thought of the Blood Severing Ghost Finger he had obtained in Dragon God Celestial Palace. This thing was very strange. Once cultivated to greater completion, a ghostly shadow would appear behind one's back. Moreover, this ghostly shadow didn't seem to be illusory, and seemed to have its own thoughts. Ye Chen had once seen this ghostly shadow reveal an eerie smile.
A long time ago, Ye Chen had stopped using the Blood Severing Ghost Finger. Apart from discovering the flaws of the technique, the ghostly shadow was also too strange.
Although the five had determined this was the entrance to Hell, they didn't intend to return empty-handed. They began to search the surroundings for treasures.
"Eh? This seems to be the Nine Hells Frozen Ice Pearl!"
Soon, the Snow Air Emperor found the first treasure.
Ye Chen looked over and saw that the Snow Air Emperor was holding a dark green pearl in his hand. The cold Qi inside the pearl was restrained, but the aura emitted from it still caused ice to form on the Snow Air Emperor's palm. Fortunately, the Snow Air Emperor had already circulated his Zhen Yuan, and the cold Qi was isolated outside of his Zhen Yuan. Therefore, his hand wasn't injured.
Nine Hells Frozen Ice Pearl was a treasure on the same level as the Darkness God Crystal. After pouring Zhen Yuan into it and throwing it out, it could create a cold Qi whirlpool. Under Emperor realm, almost no one could escape from it.
Soon, Ye Chen also found a Nine Hells Frozen Ice Pearl.
Nine Hells Frozen Ice Pearl was the essence of Nine Hells Frozen Ice. Ye Chen didn't dare to be careless, so he circulated his Sword Yuan and picked it up. This thing was useless to him, but he could give it to the people around him. The more the better.
The volcanic area was tens of thousands of meters wide. Nine Hells Frozen Ice Pearls were usually hidden in the Nine Hells Frozen Ice. It was hard to scan with soul power, so one could only search with their eyes. After half a day, Ye Chen had collected a total of ten Nine Hells Frozen Ice Pearls.
"No more. Let's leave!"
After searching for a while, the Stone Emperor suggested.
"Alright."
Everyone nodded. This place was too cold. Even with the protection of Zhen Yuan, it wouldn't feel good after a long time.
Just as they were about to leave, Ye Chen suddenly saw a black human figure in the black lava.
This black human figure climbed out of the black lava and stuck close to the ground, silently shooting towards the Snow Air Emperor who was the closest to it.
"Watch out!"
Ye Chen instantly pulled out his flying sword and threw out a beam of sword Qi.
Swoosh!
The black shadow was split into two. However, not only did the two halves of the shadow not die, they even dashed towards Emperor Xue Kong at an even faster speed. Emperor Xue Kong's figure suddenly stopped, and soon after, his eyes began to turn black, and the whites of his eyes disappeared.
In Ye Chen's previous life, he had always heard people talk about being possessed by ghosts. Now, it was his first time seeing it for himself.
"Xue Er, are you okay?"
The Scarlet Wind Emperor hurried to the Snow Air Emperor's side and grabbed her shoulders.
The Snow Air Emperor smiled weirdly. His eyes turned into two black whirlpools as he stared at the Scarlet Wind Emperor.
The Scarlet Wind Emperor only felt a wave of coldness pouring down from the top of his head. In the next second, his expression became sluggish.
"Don't get close to them. Let me do it."
Ye Chen warned the Stone Emperor and the Fire Sparrow Emperor as he carefully walked over.
As he approached, the Snow Air Emperor suddenly turned his head and stared at Ye Chen with his black eyes.
"Destroy!"
Ye Chen roared as his Destruction Sword Intent burst out of his body.
Whoosh!
A cold wind spread out, and the surrounding temperature dropped even more.
