Xiao Chen vaguely saw a huge mountain in the seventh ring. It looked very similar to the Fire Li Sect's treasure mountain that he saw in the Cloud Sea Domain.
Xiao Chen landed on a floating piece of land in the seventh ring. He descended at a startlingly fast speed. However, there was not much recoil when he landed.
Xiao Chen sized up his surroundings. He did not know where the path ahead led to.
The ground was hot and dry. Volcanoes could be seen on the magma ground, continuously spewing flames into the sky.
After the flames burned, they produced fiery clouds that covered the sky. One could not see the end of it.
Ao Jiao introduced this place to Xiao Chen softly, "This is the outermost ring of the Seven Rings of the Heart of the Ocean. It cannot even be considered a corner of this world. However, it produces all sorts of fire-attributed gems. Every volcano has a palace in it, and you can search for treasures there."
"How do I leave this place?" Compared to searching for treasures, Xiao Chen was more concerned about how to leave this place.
Earlier, he had roughly sized up the structure of this space. From its outline, it looked like an incredibly huge disk. The center of the disk was the heart of the ocean.
Seven rings of land stuck to each other, forming the outer circle.
The rest was a pitch-black space; there was no way to find a way out.
"This is the first ring of flames. Follow the path under your feet. At the place where it connects to the second ring of ice mountains, you can choose to continue down. You can also choose to leave from the transportation formation at the side.
"Each of these seven rings of land is more dangerous than the one before. However, the deeper you go, the more good things you will find. Since ancient times, many Martial Emperors have died on this path to the heart of the ocean."
Ao Jiao explained, "Those outstanding talents and the Blue Robed Emperor loose cultivators will probably only stop when they reach the third ring. If you go any further, you will die for sure."
"They are chasing me!"
Xiao Chen looked up and saw four black dots descending quickly. Then, he did not linger any longer. He quickly headed for the front of the volcano path.
Xiao Chen walked this path of burying Martial Emperors.
The four people behind him lingered like ghosts, causing Xiao Chen to lose interest in searching for treasures. He only wanted to leave quickly.
Otherwise, he could leave the lava path beneath his feet and search the Ring of Fire for a while. It would be a pity to miss such an opportunity.
At first, Xiao Chen did not care much about it as he ran. However, after five kilometers, he felt something was wrong.
The gravity here was not right; it was at least a hundred times stronger than the outside world. Xiao Chen kept running. If he were in the outside world, he would have crossed fifty kilometers long ago without any pressure.
He hadn't even walked ten miles, but he already felt fatigued. His forehead was covered in sweat.
After a few more tests, Chen was finally certain that the gravity was two hundred times stronger. If one wanted to fly in the air, the consumption of Law Energy would be multiplied by a thousand times. It was practically impossible.
It was no wonder that when he first landed, there was no recoil at all. It was all offset by gravity.
"Xiao Chen of good. Chen," said, "Xiao of Chen said. good. "Martial" Chen, Profound. "Chen" Xiong "of Chen's to Dragon Chen's Sea.
Many hurried footprints could be seen on the path. There were also Profound Beasts that died not long ago, all killed in one move.
There was no need to guess. This was definitely the work of a major character.
"This damn place is extraordinarily hot!"
Xiao Chen stopped and wiped his sweat. Then, he took out a waterskin from the Universe Ring and took a big gulp.
This was just the first ring, and the environment was already so harsh. It was hard to imagine how many Martial Emperors had to pass before they reached the most dangerous place, the heart of the ocean.
Since ancient times, many Martial Emperors had died on this path.
"Flap!"
Little Yellow Feather suddenly flew out of the Immortal Spirit Ring, crying out endlessly. It appeared very happy, like it had returned to its first home.
"What's wrong with it?" Xiao Chen asked, feeling suspicious.
Ao Jiao also showed a confused expression. She said, "Little Yellow Feather said that it wanted to find its own food. The Profound Cores you gave it tasted awful."
Xiao Chen smiled helplessly. What a picky eater. The quality of those Profound Cores was not low. They were no less expensive than Astral Cores.
"Call it back. This is not a place where it can run around. Hey! Where are you going?!"
Before Xiao Chen finished speaking, Little Yellow Feather flapped its wings like a faint fiery light and flew away from the path, heading for the distant volcano.
Little Yellow Feather's small body did not seem to be affected by gravity. It flew very fast.
Along the way, everything seemed peaceful.
However, that was a major character making a move, wiping out all the Profound Beasts on the path. If Little Yellow Feather ran away, it would be very dangerous.
Xiao Chen's expression changed. He quickly stopped and chased after Little Yellow Feather. The other party had only been out for one month. A few Inferior Grade Profound Beasts would be enough to take its life.
However, Little Yellow Feather's speed was no slower than Xiao Chen's in the first place. After Xiao Chen was affected in this damn place, he could not catch up at all. In a few moments, Little Yellow Feather disappeared.
"Xiao Chen, I'll go and take a look first!"
Ao Jiao felt anxious and flew after Xiao Chen. As a Spiritual Body, she was less affected by gravity, so she was much faster than Xiao Chen.
With Ao Jiao giving chase, Xiao Chen relaxed somewhat. With the Blue Robed Emperor's cultivation, he could deal with most of the Profound Beasts in this area.
Occasionally, hot lava spewed out of the scarlet cracks on the ground.
Although Xiao Chen was slower, he still had his Movement Technique. He moved very quickly, his figure flickering. As he flew, he did not touch any lava at all.
On the path, the four old men of the Divine Dragon Palace, who had been chasing relentlessly, stopped. They entered deep thought as they watched Xiao Chen's departing figure.
"That brat is no longer heading to the path. There are volcanoes everywhere. It will not be easy to find him."
A ruthless look flashed in the eyes of the old man from the Eastern Sea Divine Dragon Palace. He said, "We will stand guard at the transportation formation at the first pass. I don't believe that he will hide there forever."
"Good, let's do that, then."
Relying on his senses, Ao Jiao and Little Yellow Feather stopped at the mouth of a volcano. Xiao Chen climbed up after much difficulty and saw a flabbergasted scene.
Heat waves surged, and Profound Beasts burned to death lay at the mouth of the volcano. Little Yellow Feather excitedly used its mouth to pick out the Profound Cores of the Profound Beasts.
Ao Jiao watched with a smile, indicating to Xiao Chen that Little Yellow Feather killed these Profound Beasts by itself.
With a cursory glance, Xiao Chen saw the corpses of Inferior Grade Profound Beasts on the ground. These were existences equal to grandmaster-level Martial Sages. Unexpectedly, they all died to Little Yellow Feather's flames.
"Hehe! Don't listen to it when it says that those Profound Cores are not tasty. They are actually great nourishment for it. They contain some Immortal Qi and are the best nourishment of all nourishment. Look at it, it has already doubled in size, "Ao Jiao said softly with a smile.
That was indeed the case. Previously, the Golden Crow that Xiao Chen could easily catch with one palm was now larger than a palm.
The most important thing was that the feathers on its body had turned from their original pale yellow color to a brighter shade. The spirituality in its eyes became even stronger.
Xiao Chen shook his head and smiled helplessly. "This fellow startled me. It turns out that the fire-attributed Profound Beasts at the mouth of the volcano attracted it. To think that it ate so happily. With this delay, the four old fellows behind us will definitely reach the first gate before us. "
Ao Jiao said in a vexed manner, "This is indeed somewhat annoying. With four old fellows guarding the transportation formation, there is nothing you can do."
Xiao Chen had not been in such a sorry state for a long time, surrounded and blocked by so many people.
The reason for this was that he did not have any true trump cards. If he still had the Qing Emperor's medallion, these four would not have been able to act so wantonly.
Furthermore, if he were on the surface of the sea, he would still be able to use the crown of Neptune, and he would not have to fear these four.
"Dragging things out like this is not a solution. You only have five years to advance to Martial Emperor. You need to find a large amount of resources."
At this point, Ao Jiao paused for a while. It seemed like she had made a decision but did not know whether to make it or not.
"Damn! Little fellow, what are you trying to do?"
After Little Yellow Feather finished eating the fire-attributed Profound Core, it patted its belly with its wings. Then, it flew into the mouth of the volcano and spread its wings.
Xiao Chen and Ao Jiao's expressions changed as they looked down from the mouth of the volcano.
"Boom!"
Horrifying lava spewed out of the mouth of the volcano, accompanied by a horrifying heatwave. Explosions rumbled endlessly within the volcano, looking very frightening.
The two moved quickly and dodged in advance. The earlier scene was rather thrilling.
"Little Yellow Feather!"
Ao Jiao revealed a worried expression as she cried out, wanting to rush over in a hurry.
Xiao Chen quickly grabbed her and said, "Calm down. It is a Holy Beast of Flame in the first place. Such an environment will not be able to harm it. If you rush over, you will only harm yourself."
Xiao Chen's words startled Ao Jiao out of her reverie. She said, "Little Yellow Feather is normally very obedient. There must be something under the volcano that attracts it. Otherwise, it would not be so disobedient."
"That is most likely it." Xiao Chen frowned and said, "However, there are Medial Grade Profound Beasts, even Superior Grade Profound Beasts, in the volcano. It is truly worrying for it to be so impulsive."
"What should we do? What should we do if this little fellow gets eaten by someone?" Ao Jiao showed an anxious expression, but she could not do anything.
The surging flames slowly subsided, and the mouth of the volcano calmed down. However, the explosions did not stop at all, continuing to rumble endlessly. Something must have happened.
"I'll go down and take a look!"
It was rare for Ao Jiao to be so concerned. Xiao Chen did not want her to be disappointed, so he spoke up.
"However, the temperature of this volcano is at least ten thousand degrees Celsius. It is too risky for you to go down." Ao Jiao was still rational, not willing to let Xiao Chen take the risk.
"It's fine. I have the Neptune Headscarf, a Rank 4 Sage Body, a Great Perfection will of ice, and this Blue Dragon Robe. That is enough."
After Xiao Chen spoke, the azure energy of the Blue Dragon King insignia on his chest moved according to his thoughts. It quickly radiated out and dyed his white robes azure, protecting Xiao Chen.
"Come in, then!"
Ao Jiao nodded and turned into a beam of light, entering the Immortal Spirit Ring.
Xiao Chen took a deep breath, and his forehead flickered. The will of ice spread throughout his body, and the azure Neptune Headscarf gave off a faint light.
As Xiao Chen stood at the mouth of the volcano, he leaped down to see what the little Golden Crow had encountered in there.
The lava flowed like water at the mouth of the volcano. Xiao Chen leaped down and instantly sank in.
Even though Xiao Chen was fully prepared, he still found the temperature of more than ten thousand degrees Celsius unbearable. As he continued to sink, he found it even more unbearable.
Xiao Chen's entire body turned bright red and incredibly hot. He felt like his internal organs were burning.
