"This is a quasi Sovereign?"
Ye Chen's strength was at the peak among high-grade emperors, but compared to peak emperors, he was several times weaker. Compared to a quasi Sovereign, the gap was immeasurable. However, he didn't expect the gap to be this huge. The opponent could easily grab the five of them with a single hand. It was like the Buddha's Five Finger Mountain.
Sword Domain and Sword Yuan erupted at the same time. Ye Chen shouted and tried to break free from the opponent's grasp.
"Eh?"
The old man was slightly surprised. The power Ye Chen released was incomparably sharp. It was even stronger than high-grade emperors.
"Hehe, do you still want to run after falling into this old man's hands?"
The palm exerted a bit of force, and Ye Chen's Protective Zhen Yuan and Sword Domain collapsed. He spurted out a mouthful of blood.
"Ye Chen, don't be rash. If he wanted to kill us, he could've killed us all just now. Don't anger him." Stone Emperor hastily transmitted his voice to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen nodded slightly. Just as Stone Emperor had said, with the opponent's methods, they wouldn't be able to kill them even if they had a hundred lives. Even peak emperors wouldn't be able to contend against a quasi Sovereign's methods.
"You're smart. Indeed, I won't kill you. As long as you do me a favor, I can let you go." The old man's voice transmitted over.
Stone Emperor's face paled. The opponent could actually hear his soul transmission. It was too frightening.
"Senior, you're a quasi Sovereign. If even you can't do anything, I'm afraid we'll be even more helpless." Stone Emperor smiled bitterly.
The old man shook his head and sneered, "There's nothing absolute in this world. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any accidents. This old man can't do it alone. With you guys, there's a bit more hope."
"Since that's the case, I'll accept it."
The Stone Puppet Emperor knew that if they didn't agree, they would only suffer more. The other party might kill one of them out of anger, and the gains wouldn't make up for the losses. At this moment, they had no choice but to lower their heads. Even if the other party wanted them to die, they wouldn't be able to resist. At the same time, the Stone Puppet Emperor blamed himself. Ye Chen and the others had come to the Heavenly River mainly to find the Sovereign Path Spiritual Root for him. If it wasn't for him, even if Ye Chen and the others wanted to come, they wouldn't have come now. At the very least, they would only be able to travel the Heavenly River after a long period of time. With Ye Chen's talent, even if he couldn't defeat a Quasi-Venerable at that time, he would at least be able to protect himself.
"I don't know which race this old man is from, but he shouldn't be from the Demons, Yakshas, or Evil Spirits. It's also unlikely that he's from the Green Man Tribe. He should be from another race. That technique just now contained the profound of the five elements, forming a world of its own. However, even I could see some flaws in it. It's probably just superficial. It can't be considered a real supreme martial art."
Supreme martial arts contained several kinds of profound that reinforced and restrained each other, and the profound of the five elements was one of them. The old man's degree of integration of the five elements was not high. Otherwise, Ye Chen wouldn't have chosen to struggle because he had no way to do so.
Of course, even if it was just a superficial supreme martial art, it was still thousands of times stronger than Ye Chen's Doomsday Meteor Sword.
Still sitting cross-legged on the ground, the old man stretched out his right hand and made a grabbing motion. With a pop, a dazzling five-colored ball of light appeared before him. Very quickly, the old man threw Ye Chen's group of five into the five-colored ball of light. Then, he closed his eyes as if he was healing.
The five-colored ball of light was only the size of a palm, but Ye Chen's group of five didn't think so. Ye Chen's Soul Force spread out and immediately discovered that the diameter of the five-colored ball of light had reached an astonishing five million miles. Although it couldn't be considered a world or a plane and could only be considered a subspace, it was still very terrifying.
"What should we do now?"
The Scarlet Wind Emperor frowned. If he had known that there was a quasi-venerable of a foreign race on this island, he wouldn't have come even if he was beaten to death.
Ye Chen said, "Since we're already here, let's just take things as they come. I believe we'll be safe for a while."
The Stone Statue Emperor said, "If I'm not wrong, this old man should be a quasi-venerable of the Spirit Race. His name is Old Ancestor Wuling. It is said that he has lived for almost a hundred thousand years and is reaching the end of his lifespan."
The Spirit Race was a race born from the heavens. Although there weren't many members, each of them was extremely powerful. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that in terms of average battle strength, whether it was the Demons or the Yaksha Race, they were worlds apart. Of course, in terms of overall strength, the Spirit Race was far behind the Demons or the Human Race.
The Spirit Race had a total of five supremes, which wasn't too many or too few. They lived in a star field called the Spirit Zone, which was very far from the four major star fields and the Demon Zone. They were a neutral race.
In the near future, the neutral races wouldn't necessarily continue to live in peace. However, for now, any neutral race would be the target of the Demons and the Human Race. Even if they couldn't win them over, they wouldn't offend them, lest they join the enemy's alliance out of anger.
"Not good! This old man is reaching the end of his lifespan. He must have come to the Heavenly River to find some heaven-defying treasure that can increase his lifespan. The environment of such a treasure is extremely dangerous. No wonder he got injured." The Fire Sparrow Emperor's brows creased.
The lifespan of a Life and Death King was one hundred thousand years. Normally, this was the limit. However, the heavens would always leave a way out. Some heaven-defying treasures could indeed increase one's lifespan. For example, back in Elysium, Dragon King had lived for one thousand years, creating a miracle.
Hearing these words, the Stone Statue Emperor's expression suddenly changed.
"What's wrong?" Snow Air Emperor asked.
The Stone Statue Emperor sucked in a deep breath and said bitterly, "This is indeed bad. Do you know that Old Ancestor Wuling specializes in a secret art called the Sky Seizing Puppet Secret Art?"
"Sky Seizing Puppet Secret Art?"
Ye Chen looked at the Stone Statue Emperor.
The Stone Statue Emperor explained, "The Sky Seizing Puppet Secret Art is an ancient secret art. It's useless to the user himself, but it can turn others into puppets and give them fifty percent of the user's battle power …"
"You're saying that he wants to turn us into puppets to open a path for him?" Ye Chen's heart shook as he said.
"Most likely."
The Stone Statue Emperor's expression was bitter. Soon after, he raised his head and said to Ye Chen and the others, "It's all because of me that you guys ended up like this. In my next life, I, the Stone Statue Emperor, am willing to do anything for you guys."
Although the Scarlet Wind Emperor wasn't in a good mood, he still tried to persuade the Stone Being Emperor, "It's still unknown whether or not we will be refined into puppets. Let's not worry too much. Perhaps the situation will be much better than this."
"I hope so!"
The Stone Statue Emperor nodded.
Ye Chen's mood was also very heavy. However, he had experienced countless adversity and would never give up. This time was no exception.
Getting rid of all distracting thoughts, Ye Chen tried to find a flaw in the five-colored space, hoping to find a way out. The premise was that Old Ancestor Wuling hadn't put away the five-colored light ball.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Ye Chen's face flashed with joy.
The space inside the five-colored light ball wasn't as stable as the outside world. It would occasionally emit clear spatial fluctuations. When his soul force scanned these spatial fluctuations, Ye Chen's Space Profundity seemed to be showing signs of a breakthrough.
"If I can comprehend the Space Profundity to perfection, I might have a chance to escape."
With that thought, Ye Chen sat down and spread his soul force to comprehend the Space Profundity.
