Five and a half million miles was a long distance, and it took Ye Chen ten days to arrive at the underground crack from the East Royal City with his flying puppet. Fortunately, those ten days were not wasted either, as his Sky Thunder Cut and Amaranthine Nature had made breakthroughs one after another. The former had reached eighty percent, and the latter was catching up as well, reaching eighty percent as well. Originally, when the Sky Thunder Cut was at seventy percent, its power combined with the Reverse Sky Thunder Cut would be equivalent to the ninety percent Gold Resonant Radiance Sword Art. Now that it had reached eighty percent, its power had almost doubled. It had even surpassed the completed Gold Resonant Radiance Sword Art, becoming Ye Chen's number one ace attack.
Amaranthine Nature did not seem to be as powerful as the Gold Resonant Radiance Sword Art, but in terms of attacking skills, it was not something that the latter could compare with either. Its effect could not be ignored at all.
With the improvement of the two top sword attacks, Ye Chen's overall power had reached a whole new level.
Unfortunately, ever since his Void Shattering Finger Art had reached fifty percent, it had been stuck there for a long time. Ye Chen knew that there was a huge gap between the space mentality and the space profound, which would not be that easy to cross. But, once he did, it would bring about a huge change in his power.
Putting away his flying puppet, Ye Chen released his soul power. Everything within five hundred miles was within his detection range.
"Hm? Nothing? "
Ye Chen frowned. Within his soul power's detection range, there was no sign of the underground crack.
"Could it be fake news?"
"No, the information from the pavilion is a gold brand. Without solid proof, they would not sell it. There must be something blocking my soul power detection."
"Soul Eye, open!"
Opening his eyebrows, a silver vertical eye appeared on Ye Chen's forehead. It was half squinted, revealing only a slit. A silver light shot out of it, traveling through the surreal space and reaching thousands of miles away. Everything within those miles was like a phantom, appearing in Ye Chen's mind one after another.
Pap!
Closing the vertical eye, Ye Chen's face was slightly pale.
"It's too hard to control the Soul Eye. With my current power, I can only use a small part of its power. Plus, I can't control it as I please. I wanted to see everything within five hundred miles, but I could only see a few thousand miles away. I wasted a lot of my soul power. My Soul Eye can see far and near. I can see billions of miles away, even the stars. When I'm close, I can see everything around me."
The Eye of the Soul was Ye Chen's special ability. As Ye Chen reached the Sea of Souls Realm, Ye Chen had slowly mastered a bit of the usage of the Eye of the Soul, which was even more powerful than the soul power. Things that could not be detected by the soul power would be exposed under the observation of the Eye of the Soul. Just now, he had already seen everything within thousands of miles.
In his mind, countless images flashed. The things that the Eye of the Soul saw would not disappear, but would be stored in his mind so that he could flip through them at any time. Otherwise, there would be way too many things within thousands of miles, and even Ye Chen would not be able to tell which was which, since the human memory was limited after all.
"There is an underground crack here. No, it is only a small crack, less than a thousand meters deep. It should be left behind after the battle between Sea of Souls Realm warriors."
"Underground river!"
"Volcano hot spring!"
"Big valley!"
"Inside the mountain, there is black qi coming out … There is a crack … This is it!"
As more images flashed past, Ye Chen's attention landed on the latest one. It was a huge mountain three hundred miles away. There were many tunnels inside the mountain, crisscrossing like a web. In the upper right corner of the mountain, there was a cave with a hundred-meter-long crack. Rolling black qi was spreading out of the crack, which seemed to have the ability to devour soul power. That was why Ye Chen did not notice it before.
…
Ten thousand miles away, a huge weird bird with burning wings was flying at an extreme speed. On the back of the bird, there was a group of people, led by Gu Ping.
"Master Ping, the Thousand Miles Soul Chasing Incense has lost its effect!"
Behind Gu Ping, a person's expression changed as he said hurriedly.
Gu Ping frowned, "The tracking range of the incense is eighteen thousand miles. You said earlier that it was thirteen thousand miles away. How come it is gone now?"
"I do not know either. Perhaps he had found out about the incense?"
"Impossible!" Gu Ping shook his head, "The incense is colorless and odorless. It is made with top rank Shadowless Plants and other precious materials. Without the senses of a king warrior, it would be hard to notice. Plus, if he had found out about the incense, he could have just thrown it on the ground. There would be no need for him to destroy it, since it would be the same as telling us that he had found it."
"That is true."
"He should have entered some unknown place, right?" Gu Ping's face darkened as he said, "The place where we went was the same as where he went. Perhaps, he had asked for the same information in the pavilion as I did, or maybe there is some kind of connection between them."
"What is Master Ping planning to do?"
"Let's not worry about him for now. Let's find the underground crack first. If he is in there as well, then it would be killing two birds with one stone."
A creepy cold light flashed through his eyes. No one knew what Gu Ping was planning.
…
Arriving inside the mountain, Ye Chen soon found the entrance of the crack.
At the entrance, black qi was everywhere, and a cold wind was blowing. Soul power spread out, but most of it would be devoured by an invisible power. It was as if there were many horrifying 'monsters' inside the black qi, eating away at the soul power.
"Thunder Bird Change!"
Ye Chen waved his right hand, and a bird made of thunder and lightning flapped its wings, drawing a perfect arc in the sky before diving into the crack.
Pap!
Countless thunder sparks exploded, and the blue light did not go out for a long time.
Shoo!
Seeing that there was no danger at the entrance, Ye Chen flashed his body and jumped into the crack. Right after that, the rolling black qi covered up the entrance once again.
Stepping on the uneven hard rock, Ye Chen could feel the cold qi entering his body through the soles of his feet. Under this kind of cold qi, normal people could easily fall sick and have hallucinations. Even the energetic and brave men would start to feel fear.
Ye Chen had the slaughter sword spirit, which made him invincible. Once the cold qi entered his body, it would be destroyed by the pure slaughter qi.
The crack was a slope. Ye Chen followed the slope and slid down, waving his hand to cut off the sharp rocks that were reaching down from above.
"Demon Evil Stone!"
With a quick glance, Ye Chen saw a silver-black crystal stone on a rock wall. It was indeed the Demon Evil Stone that could only be found in the Extreme Yin Region.
Waving his hand, the Demon Evil Stone left the wall and landed in Ye Chen's hand.
"The Yin qi in this place is extremely heavy, even more than the Extreme Yin Region. The Demon Evil Stones that are exposed outside are all top grade. One of them would be equivalent to four to five normal Demon Evil Stones."
Putting away the Demon Evil Stone, Ye Chen continued to slide down.
Soon, Ye Chen had gotten dozens of Demon Evil Stones. For people who had not trained their martial spirit, it would be a great treasure to train their will power. For Sea of Souls Realm warriors with low rank martial spirits, it would be useful as well. However, Ye Chen's slaughter sword spirit was already at peak level rank 4, so no matter how good the stones were, it would be useless unless he could find some Demon Evil Crystals.
Hualala!
The sound of running water was heard from ahead, making the crack even more deadly silent.
Hearing the sound, Ye Chen frowned. According to the information he had gotten from the pavilion, the Rootless Flower would appear in places with lakes.
With that thought in mind, Ye Chen increased his speed, flying toward the source of the sound like a ghost in the dark.
Stopping his steps, Ye Chen stopped in front of an unknown river. Obviously, it was not a lake, since there were no light spots on the surface of the river. Even his soul power would be absorbed by the river. The deeper he went, the more his soul power would be absorbed. Ten meters down, he would not be able to sense anything at all.
It was unknown where this river led to, but it was getting further and further away. It seemed like it was connected to hell, making people feel extremely depressed.
"Ah!"
An extremely horrified sound was suddenly heard from afar. It sounded like a ghost's scream, but also like a ghost's haunting. In this creepy environment, it would be enough to scare any normal person to death.
Ye Chen frowned. He thought about it and decided to check it out.
Right then, a weird snake with a tumor on its head jumped out of the river. It opened its mouth, shooting out a stinky poisonous qi like an arrow, aiming right at Ye Chen's face.
Ye Chen did not even look at it. He threw out a thunder lion with his left hand. It was the Thunder Lion Transformation of the Thunder Beast Transformation.
The brutal thunder power was the nemesis of these kinds of evil creatures. The weird snake was instantly burnt, falling into the river. No one knew if it was dead or alive.
Inside a dead silent cave, a young man and a woman appeared.
The young man's face was full of fear. His eyeballs almost popped out of his eye sockets. He opened his mouth and let out an inhuman scream from time to time. Chilling wind blew on his body, and the cold air was very obvious. Behind him, it seemed like something was invading his body. Occasionally, he would glance at it and see a blurry human figure. That person's face was blurry and cold, making one's scalp go numb.
"Go! Go!"
The young man held his neck with one hand and tried his best to push the girl away with the other.
"No!"
The girl's tears kept falling down. Her face was full of fear and unwillingness. If they had known that this place was evil, they would not have come here in the first place.
"Go! If we don't go now, I … I will not be able to control myself. It is trying to take over my body. Go!"
"Let's go together!"
The girl was very unyielding. She waved her hand and attacked the young man's back. Unfortunately, her Zhen yuan could not reach the blurry human figure at all. It went right through and caused half of the cave to collapse.
"Ah!"
The young man's eyes turned white, and his pupils could not be seen anymore. The cold air on his body had even frozen the air, leaving only a trace of the blurry human figure outside.
Shoo!
The dead silent air moved slightly. Out of nowhere, a young man in blue appeared not far away from the two. His pupils shone with a silver luster, seeming to be a bit surprised.
"Who are you? Go! If you don't go now, you will die with us." The girl's face flashed with surprise at first, then joy, and then despair. She and the young man were both master level warriors, but even they could not deal with this thing, so it would be even worse for the other side. She did not want to drag someone down with her before she died.
"Maybe I can deal with it."
The young man in blue appeared in front of the young man with one step and put his hand on the latter's shoulder.
