The Immortal Sword Intent was invulnerable to all evils, while the Destruction Sword Intent was even more tyrannical, able to destroy any form of existence. According to Ye Chen's understanding, 'ghosts' were a special kind of soul, and the Destruction Sword Intent could definitely harm or even destroy them.
Pop!
Behind the Snow Air Emperor, half of a black shadow's body was blown out, with green smoke rising from its body. However, this shadow was very tenacious. After the Destruction Sword Intent dispersed, it once again entered the Snow Air Emperor's body. Unfortunately, Ye Chen would not give it the chance to control the Snow Air Emperor's body again. Ye Chen's right hand reached out like lightning, pressing on the Snow Air Emperor's shoulder. In the next second, the Immortal Sword Intent, which was different from the Destruction Sword Intent, poured into the Snow Air Emperor's body.
He did not dare to use the Destruction Sword Intent, because while it would kill the shadow, it would also cause unimaginable damage to the Snow Air Emperor.
The shadow tasted pain this time. Although the Immortal Sword Intent was not as tyrannical as the Destruction Sword Intent, it still had the effect of suppressing ghosts. In the blink of an eye, the Immortal Sword Intent filled the Snow Air Emperor's body, forcing the shadow out. The holy white light ignited the shadow's body.
"Die!"
His left hand turned into a claw, and Ye Chen reached into the shadow's body, bursting out the Destruction Sword Intent.
Buzz!
The sharp black ripple spread out, and the shadow suddenly became blurry, almost disappearing. As the shadow tried to escape, Ye Chen's right hand followed, also reaching into the shadow's body. Under the attack of the two Destruction Sword Intents, the shadow let out a silent howl before disappearing completely.
"What happened?"
The Snow Air Emperor and the Scarlet Wind Emperor woke up at the same time. The Scarlet Wind Emperor was only confused for a second, not as badly as the Snow Air Emperor.
The Stone Man Emperor let out a breath of relief. "Just now …"
Hearing the Stone Man Emperor's explanation, the Snow Air Emperor and the Stone Man Emperor both had cold sweat. They did not think that they would encounter such a strange thing here. Now, the Scarlet Wind Emperor was starting to believe that there were ghosts and hell in this world.
"I can't stay here for long. I should leave first."
Ye Chen had a new understanding of ghosts. In the world he was in, there was no proof of the existence of ghosts. But even if ghosts did exist, they would not be this powerful. One had to know that the Snow Air Emperor and the Scarlet Wind Emperor were not ordinary people. Their bodies contained a powerful aura, and these kinds of evil ghosts could not even get close to them. However, this black shadow was able to invade the Snow Air Emperor's body in an instant and control his mind. Then, it confused the Scarlet Wind Emperor the moment their eyes met. If not for Ye Chen having the Destruction Sword Intent and the Immortal Sword Intent, he might not have been able to save the two of them.
Following the flow of air, the five of them flew toward the crater.
Along the way, Ye Chen vaguely felt that his body had passed through something.
"A seal?"
Ye Chen speculated.
Only a seal could explain why there was a bone-chilling cold below and a scorching heat above. Only a seal could explain why there were no ghosts in the outside world, but only this place. Of course, all of this was still uncertain. The Heavenly River was boundless, and there might be ghosts that left this place and wandered around.
Not long after Ye Chen and the others left, a black shadow suddenly emerged from the black magma. This black shadow slowly floated above the black magma, and a black substance slid off its body. Not long after, a lifeless face was revealed. Its eyes had no pupils and were deathly pale, which was horrifying.
…
The Scarlet Wind Ship rode the wind and waves, shuttling above the Heavenly River. Unknowingly, Ye Chen and the others arrived at the intersection of a fifth grade tributary and a fourth grade tributary.
At the center of the intersection, the waves were towering. If one were to get closer, they would discover that there was a huge whirlpool there. This whirlpool was unimaginably huge, and there were layers upon layers of it. It was even bigger than a galaxy. Anyone below the Supreme-Being level would face life-threatening danger if they tried to pass through here.
"There's an island there."
What surprised the five of them was that there was actually a small island at the edge of the intersection point. This island was not very far from the whirlpool, but it was not very close either. The island was surrounded by reefs, and it was very tall. The monstrous waves could only hit the sides of the island, and were unable to completely submerge this isolated island.
"The edge of the intersection is still relatively safe. Let's go and take a look." The Stone Emperor suggested.
Ye Chen and the others had no objections. They had finally found an island, but they would definitely regret it if they went and took a look.
The island seemed very close, but time and space were unpredictable above the Heavenly River. Sometimes, it seemed close, but it was actually very far. Sometimes, it seemed very far, but it could be reached with a single step. After a full day and night, the Scarlet Wind Ship finally reached the shore.
"What a terrifying Heaven Earth Yuan Qi."
When they arrived at the island, the five were shocked by the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. The density of the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi here was beyond imagination. There were layers of clouds in the sky, which were condensed from the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. The rain of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi nourished the flowers and trees on the island.
As far as the eye could see, there were spirit grasses everywhere. Even the most common weeds were superior-grade.
Of course, the five of them had high standards. They wouldn't be interested in ordinary spirit grasses. Only monarch spirit grasses and above could enter their eyes.
"Extreme Yang Wood!"
"Profound Yin Grass!"
"Seven-colored Divine Fruit!"
"Five Elements Flower!"
Leaving aside the monarch spirit grasses, there were many monarch spirit grasses on the island. After a short while, Ye Chen found four stalks of monarch spirit grasses. Extreme Yang Wood and Profound Yin Grass were mid-grade monarch spirit grasses. With the two of them, one's Yin Yang Qi would be more harmonious, which was quite useful in improving the spirit body. Ye Chen's current spirit body was at the early-stage of the seventh rank. With the Extreme Yang Wood and Profound Yin Grass, along with some other materials, he had a certain degree of confidence in breaking through to the mid-stage of the seventh rank.
One had to know that the higher one's spirit body was, the harder it was to improve. Except for body refinement monarchs, after reaching the seventh rank, every step forward would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens, requiring the assistance of extremely precious treasures. However, treasures weren't cabbages that could be easily obtained. Moreover, he had used the Extreme Yang Wood and Profound Yin Grass this time. The next time he used these two, it wouldn't have any effect, and he would have to use more precious treasures.
As for the Seven-colored Divine Fruit and the Five Elements Flower, one was a high-grade monarch spirit grass, while the other was a supreme-grade monarch spirit grass. The Seven-colored Divine Fruit was a rare treasure that could strengthen one's Yuan Spirit. As for how much it could strengthen, it depended on the age of the Seven-colored Divine Fruit. This Seven-colored Divine Fruit grew on the ground, and it was at least a hundred thousand years old. It could make Ye Chen's Yuan Spirit more condensed, and once the Yuan Spirit grew stronger, his talent in martial arts would also improve.
The Five Elements Flower contained the profound of the five elements. Observing the Five Elements Flower might allow one to comprehend a supreme martial art that integrated the profound of the five elements, which was equivalent to ascending to the heavens in a single step.
Unknowingly, the five of them arrived at the center of the island.
At this moment, the five of them stopped.
There was a glacier in the center of the island, which looked rather strange and out of place with the environment of the island.
Ye Chen was about to activate his Soul Eye to see through the glacier.
Crack!
Cracks spread out on the glacier, and the cracks grew larger and larger, spreading in all directions. Eventually, the entire glacier shattered, and there was an icy white ball of light in the center.
"Let's go."
Ye Chen had a bad feeling. He could clearly see a figure sitting in the icy white ball of light. This figure's aura was restrained, but the pressure he emitted was much stronger than that of the Golden Spear Marshal. He was at least a peak Martial Emperor, or even a Quasi-Venerable. It was best to run as far as possible when encountering such an expert on the Heavenly River. Even if he was from the human race, he couldn't be careless.
"Where are you going?"
The icy white ball of light shrank and merged into the body of an old man with a cold expression. He reached out his right hand and made a grabbing motion. The time and space started to shrink, and Ye Chen and the other four, who had flown far away, were like small fish swimming against the current. They were instantly caught in the old man's palm. It was as if his right hand was a world of its own, an ancient mountain, and the five of them couldn't move at all.
This was not something a peak Martial Emperor could do. This was definitely a Quasi-Venerable.
