Fire Bird King's graveyard was extremely vast, and the open space was only the center. There was still half a way to reach White Sheep King's graveyard.
The open space at the center was already hot enough, and the fiery Qi would condense into various fire birds from time to time to attack outsiders. However, as they passed through the open space, Ye Chen discovered that the temperature was still rising, rising from a thousand degrees to two thousand degrees.
"The previous temperature could already melt ordinary steel. The temperature here can more or less melt low grade metals."
Metals also had grades. Low grade metals could be used to forge low grade artifacts and were extremely hard. Metals below low grade could only be used to forge ordinary weapons.
Murong Qingcheng said, "There's lava ahead, and there's a passage leading down."
"Lava … No wonder."
Everything on True Spirit Continent couldn't be compared to the things of Ye Chen's world. For example, the titanium alloy of Ye Chen's world was only an ordinary precious metal in this world, not even comparable to low grade metals. Moreover, the lava of the two places couldn't be compared either. The temperature of True Spirit Continent's lava could easily reach several thousand degrees, and the temperature would also vary according to the environment.
In a short while, the three arrived at the periphery of the lava.
This place was the same as the empty space in the center of the cemetery. It was also a large empty space, but this empty space was filled with magma and red jade-like stones. In the center of the magma, there was a staircase leading downwards. The temperature there was much higher than the surrounding temperature. It seemed that the lower one went, the higher the temperature.
"Come, let's go in."
Ye Chen disregarded the high temperature and took a step forward, arriving at the top of the stairs.
Swish! Swish!
Murong Qingcheng and Sun Tianlang followed behind.
Raising his Protective Zhen Yuan, Ye Chen faintly sucked in a breath of air. His feet landed on the stairs, and he walked down.
Creak Creak!
Although the stairs didn't conduct heat, the surface temperature was still quite high. When the Protective Zhen Yuan came in contact with it, it emitted a faint burning sound and smoke.
Soon, the three arrived at the bottom of the stairs.
"Ye Chen."
Ye Chen and the other two had just gotten down when they heard someone calling out to them. They turned their heads and saw Qing Liu and Yan Fengfeng. Not far away from them, there were even more people who were standing in a circle. In the middle was a hundred-meter radius lava lake. The color of the lava was not the normal red or yellow, but blood red. It was extremely pure, without any impurities.
In the center of the magma lake, there was a circle of orange-yellow light coming from the bottom. An incomparably majestic energy wave swept out in all directions, causing people to hold their breaths.
"Senior."
Ye Chen and the other two walked over.
Qing Liu smiled, "As long as you guys are fine."
"What's the situation here?" Ye Chen asked.
Yan Fengfeng pointed at an orange-yellow halo at the bottom of the lake and said, "There is a half-step extreme grade Sky Fiend Fire Spirit Fruit at the bottom of the lake."
"Sky Demon Fire Spirit Fruit?"
This was the first time Ye Chen had heard of it.
"What? Sky Demon Fire Spirit Fruit? "Sun Tianlang cried out in shock.
Ye Chen looked at Sun Tianlang, "Brother Sun, you know about the Sky Demon Fire Spirit Fruit?"
Sun Tianlang said, "The Sky Fiend Fire Spirit Fruit above ten thousand years old is a top-grade spirit fruit. Consuming one will allow a Monarch's spirit body to rise by one level. Normally, both Monarchs and Monarchs have fifth-grade spirit bodies. Consuming a Sky Fiend Fire Spirit Fruit will allow them to rise to the sixth-grade. The higher the cultivation, the greater the increase. Eight thousand years ago, there was a Body Tempering Monarch whose spirit body had reached the sixth-grade. Coincidentally, he found a fifty-thousand-year-old Sky Fiend Fire Spirit Fruit, which allowed his spirit body to rise to the eighth-grade. He instantly became an undefeatable Monarch. Even Monarchs were no match for him."
"A fifty thousand years old Sky Demon Fire Spirit Fruit can increase one's spirit body by two ranks, and from rank six to rank eight!"
Ye Chen was quite shocked. The higher one's spirit body was, the harder it would be to increase. Rank five spirit body was the standard of Life and Death Kings. Even titled monarchs could only reach rank five spirit body. If it was a king who focused on body refining, they could reach rank six. The gap between rank six and rank five was huge, not to mention rank eight and rank five. It was like heaven and earth, and it would be easy for a king to sweep the whole world.
Sun Tianlang continued, "Of course, a Sky Demon Fire Spirit Fruit that has matured for ten thousand years and above is a rare occurrence. One that has matured for fifty thousand years and above has only appeared once in history. After all, the Sky Demon Fire Spirit Fruit is not an ordinary spirit herb that can easily reach ten thousand years and above."
Qing Liu nodded, "This Sky Demon Fire Spirit Fruit is not more than five thousand years old. It is impossible for it to increase our spirit body by one rank, but half a rank should not be a problem. If it is at the peak of rank four, then reaching rank five is almost certain."
Rank five spirit body was the king's spirit body!
"Most of the people here have rank four spirit body. I'm afraid this Sky Demon Fire Spirit Fruit will make everyone go crazy." Ye Chen used his soul eye and saw that there was a one meter tall purple-red tree under the lava. On top of the tree, there was a purple fruit, and there was a red light flashing on the surface of the fruit from time to time.
Qing Liu said, "Although there are a lot of people here, only a few have the chance to get the fruit, such as Punishment King, Ice Spear King, Moqi Tiger, Forest King, and Armored King. Wait until the fruit ripens, I will go down alone. You guys stay up here."
She still did not know that Ye Chen's power had reached a horrifying level. Even Wind Storm King and Iron Hand King had died in his hands. But, she could not be blamed for not having a good eyesight. Who would know that Ye Chen had only broken through a small realm, and his power had increased by several folds?
"Senior, I will go down with you later."
Ye Chen was a bit tempted by the Sky Demon Fire Spirit Fruit. Who would not want to strengthen their spirit body?
"You will go down with me?"
Qing Liu's brows creased as she looked at Ye Chen.
Murong Qingcheng explained in place of Ye Chen, "Senior, Ye Chen has already broken through to late Sea of Soul realm. His strength is very powerful."
She did not say that Ye Chen had killed Wind Storm King and Iron Hand King, as it was not the right time yet.
"Right, Ye Chen's strength will certainly surprise you."
Sun Tianlang's tone was certain.
"Oh? In that case, you must be extremely careful. "
Qing Liu was still not convinced. However, Ye Chen's strength was indeed not weak before. Now that his cultivation base had reached late Sea of Soul realm, his improvement should not be small.
"Right, senior, this Sky Demon Fire Spirit Fruit's effect is so powerful. The Fire Spirit Tree should be able to be cultivated, right?" There was only one Sky Demon Fire Spirit Fruit. If he could obtain the tree, he would be able to grow more Sky Demon Fire Spirit Fruits in the future.
Qing Liu smiled bitterly, "It would be great if that was the case. The Sky Demon Fire Spirit Tree is very strange. After producing a Sky Demon Fire Spirit Fruit, it will die. Some trees will bear fruit in a thousand years, some in five thousand years, and some in ten thousand years. There is no clear pattern, and one can only rely on luck. Therefore, the Sky Demon Fire Spirit Fruit is the peak among the same grade spirit fruits."
"I see."
Ye Chen still planned to obtain the Sky Demon Fire Spirit Tree. This kind of spirit plant could only be found by luck.
Buzz!
Suddenly, ripples appeared in the center of the lava lake, spreading toward the edge. At the same time, an extremely hot Qi current spread out.
"So hot!"
The experts surrounding the magma lake retreated one after another, leaving only a few of the most powerful people behind.
"The temperature of this Qi current is probably above five thousand degrees." The temperature was too high, and Ye Chen could no longer estimate it. After all, he did not have a temperature measuring device. He could only make a rough estimate based on his own feelings.
Buzz!
Buzz!
The waves in the magma lake became more and more numerous. In the end, huge bubbles emerged on the surface of the magma lake one after another. These bubbles were pure gold in color. After leaving the magma lake, they suddenly burst, releasing an even hotter Qi flow. Even Ye Chen's body was covered in sweat. Although he was powerful, his cultivation base was only at late Sea of Soul realm, which couldn't compare to half-step Kings.
"The Sky Demon Fire Spirit Fruit has matured!"
Qing Liu's eyes brightened.
Obviously, the others had also guessed that the fruit had matured as well. Otherwise, there would not be such a weird phenomenon. All of a sudden, everyone around the lava lake started to move, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
But strangely, no one made the first move.
They all seemed to be worried.
"Fortune comes from danger! Let's do it!"
A half step king warrior flashed his body and jumped toward the lava lake. Seeing that, the people around him hesitated a bit, but did not stop him.
Qing Liu said to Ye Chen, "The lava lake is extremely dangerous. The first one to go down will have to bear the most danger. If he is not careful, he will be killed. Let's wait."
"Yeah!"
Ye Chen nodded. The first one to go down was indeed the most dangerous. Even if he could get the fruit, he would be the target of everyone else. Perhaps this half step king warrior thought that he was quite powerful, and wanted to give it a try. If he succeeded, his spirit body would reach rank 5 soon.
Plop!
Lava splashed everywhere as this half step king warrior jumped into the lava lake.
Ye Chen used his soul eye and observed carefully.
At the bottom of the lake, apart from the boiling magma, there were also countless scorching Qi currents. These surging Qi currents formed bubbles on the surface. The half-step King unceasingly evaded the Qi currents, gradually approaching the fruit.
When he was less than fifty meters away from the Sky Fiend Fire Spirit Fruit Tree, a golden stream of air suddenly shot up and swept past.
A shocking scene occurred. The half-step King didn't even have the time to let out a scream before his entire body was burned into ashes by the golden Qi flow. Only his semi extreme grade artifact remained, sinking into the depths of the lava lake.
"This gold Qi flow is very scary."
Ye Chen's pupils shrunk. Outside, he could not feel the temperature of the gold Qi flow, but if a half step king warrior could not handle it, it was obvious that the temperature was horrifying.
With the first one dead, the rest of the people started to hesitate even more. They looked at each other, knowing that they would not give up on the fruit. But before that, they had to figure out the danger under the lava lake first. Therefore, they all hoped that someone else would go down first. Of course, the condition was that the one who went down was not too powerful. If he was too powerful, then once he got the fruit, there would be no hope left for them.
