The temperature below had more than doubled. If not for the Great Perfection will of ice, Xiao Chen would have already died. While Xiao Chen's bones might not melt, his skin, flesh, and blood would definitely turn into a pool of blood.
Fortunately, Xiao Chen still had the Neptune Headscarf. At the crucial moment, it would send out a cooling energy that spread throughout his body.
Not only did it reduce the body's heat, but it also allowed Xiao Chen to maintain a clear head at all times. He could think clearly at any moment.
Although the Neptune Headscarf did not have any substantial offensive power, it was much more important than several Secret Treasures in Xiao Chen's eyes.
The old man from the Eastern Sea Divine Dragon Palace wanted Xiao Chen to hand over the Neptune Headscarf. How could that be possible?
Xiao Chen did not know what the Eastern Sea Divine Dragon Palace was thinking. The Divine Dragon Palaces of the other three seas only wanted the Neptune Headscarf. Only the Eastern Sea Divine Dragon Palace wanted the Neptune Headscarf.
"Whoosh!"
Xiao Chen, who had been traveling against the flow of lava to its source, fell into the air. Then, he found himself in a vast flaming cavern.
Everywhere Xiao Chen looked was a dazzling, glaring, painful light.
Xiao Chen adjusted his position and looked from the air. The source of the golden light was Little Yellow Feather. At this moment, it was in its combat mode, just like when it was running wildly in the Desolate Sea.
Little Yellow Feather was currently in an intense battle with a three-headed flaming Profound Beast. Most of the explosions outside came from this battle.
That flaming Profound Beast was not famous. Its three heads looked like a wolf, a lion, and a tiger. Its aura was extremely horrifying, at least as strong as a Superior Grade Profound Beast. That was, an existence equal to the Blue Robed Emperor.
Even though Little Yellow Feather entered a berserk state, it was still at a disadvantage. The three-headed Profound Beast had a strong immunity to flames.
Hence, Little Yellow Feather's killing move was somewhat weak. The dense Solar Flame could not do much damage when it struck the other party.
If not for its advantage in size and agility, Little Yellow Feather would have fallen long ago.
"Thousand Frost Battle Snow, Jagged Bones!"
Xiao Chen's figure flashed, and he joined the battle. He did not hesitate to send out a Profound Martial Technique.
Frost spread under his feet. The temperature of the entire flame cavern plummeted. Large snowflakes began to fall. The three Xuan Beasts were the first to bear the brunt of the attack. The flames on their bodies were immediately extinguished and covered with a layer of white frost.
When the saber light slashed out, it was filled with an indomitable spirit. It pressed forward with an indomitable will. If not me, then who else?
The three Xuan Beasts, whose defenses had dropped significantly, were directly cut into two halves by the saber, dying on the spot.
When faced with a Xuan Beast that was only comparable to the Blue Robed Emperor, it would not take much time for him to use a targeted martial technique to launch a surprise attack.
Little Yellow Feather sheathed its saber and scattered its light. Its eyes flickered with excitement as it charged at Xiao Chen.
"Little fellow, this should be enough to shock you." Seeing Little Yellow Feather flying towards him, Xiao Chen smiled to himself, not revealing any of his strength.
Given the pride of the Golden Crow, it would never submit to you.
Whoosh!
Little Yellow Feather brushed past Xiao Chen. Then, it opened its tiny mouth and quickly picked out the Profound Cores of the three Xuan Beasts. Then, it chewed on them with relish.
Xiao Chen could not help feeling depressed. Once again, the little fellow ignored him.
Ao Jiao flew out of the Immortal Spirit Ring and floated over to Little Yellow Feather. Then, she teased it and asked what made it so impulsive.
"Flap! Flap! Flap!" After Little Yellow Feather finished eating the Profound Cores, its feathers became much brighter. It flew over to Xiao Chen and proudly pointed its butt at him.
This is too much. What is it doing?!
Just as Xiao Chen was about to dodge, the three golden tail feathers of the Golden Crow suddenly lit up. Flames burned around them, flickering with a crystalline light.
One of the tail feathers slowly fell off. Then, Little Yellow Feather turned around and placed the fallen tail feather in its mouth. Then, it brought it to Xiao Chen.
"This is the Solar Plume Feather of the Golden Crow Holy Beast. There are only three of them. Every one that falls off means one less. This is the life-saving trump card of the Golden Crow Race. In times of danger, you can use it to save your life. I want to give it to you. "
Ao Jiao gently drifted over with a smile as she explained the situation.
Xiao Chen suddenly understood. At least this little fellow still has some conscience. He stretched out his hand and held that tiny tail feather in his hand.
Xiao Chen sent in his Spiritual Sense. Initially, he did not care much about it. Now, his expression turned grave.
The energy contained in the tail feather actually made Xiao Chen feel some fear. It contained a boundless ancient aura.
It seemed like the Golden Crows of every generation passed down their energy before they died, accumulating it generation after generation. Xiao Chen did not know how strong this energy was.
Xiao Chen estimated that with this energy and the tiny golden domain, it would not be difficult for him to kill Emperor Wu.
There were only three life-saving chances, and this little fellow was actually willing to give him one. He had not expected this.
When Little Yellow Feather saw Xiao Chen holding the Solar Plume Feather and flapping its wings, joy was evident in its eyes. It was extremely happy that Xiao Chen accepted its tail feather.
"I asked clearly. There is an Earth Core Flame at the bottom of the lava lake. After Little Yellow Feather swallows it, its strength will soar," Ao Jiao continued.
An Earth Core Flame! No wonder it was so rash. That is one of the peak Yang flames.
Xiao Chen put away the golden Solar Plume Feather and said, "There should still be Profound Beasts in there. I'll go down alone and help him extract the Earth Core Flame."
Ao Jiao nodded and watched as Xiao Chen jumped into the lava lake. Then, she carried Little Yellow Feather to a rock and sat down with a complicated expression in her eyes.
Little Blondie was in a very excited mood, chattering non-stop.
Ao Jiao maintained a faint smile on her face. However, as she gazed at the calm lava lake, she would occasionally get distracted.
Naturally, Ao Jiao was not worried about Xiao Chen's safety. Even if there were Superior Grade Profound Beasts in there, no matter how many there were, Xiao Chen would have a way to deal with them.
What Ao Jiao was worried about was the demonic curse of advancing to Martial Emperor in five years.
The Thunder King advanced to Martial Sage at the age of thirty and became the Blue Robed Emperor at the age of thirty-five. After that, he spent ten years before becoming Emperor Wu.
Ao Jiao was clearer than anyone else on how arduous the path to Martial Emperor was.
Just reaching Small Perfection of the Blue Robed Emperor would take an ordinary person ten years to slowly cultivate.
Xiao Chen's situation was even worse. His accumulations were deeper. As a result, the resources required for the Blue Robed Emperor to reach Small Perfection were even greater.
Should I tell him where the Thunder King's treasures are? Ao Jiao thought, feeling somewhat conflicted.
If she told Xiao Chen about the Thunder King's treasures, she would have to shoulder the burden of the Thunder King's death.
However, the person who killed the Thunder King was definitely not the Changtian Martial Emperor, someone who could fight a Prime as a conferred King. How strong was the Thunder King? Even if he was injured, he was not someone that a mediocre expert like Xie Changtian could kill.
A faction that dared to kill even a Prime, what kind of backing did it have? No one dared to underestimate it.
"Boom!"
Lava splashed in the center of the lake. Xiao Chen leaped out while holding a clump of hot flames. The Golden Crow cried out happily and quickly flew over to catch the flame.
Ao Jiao smiled faintly and collected her thoughts. Then, she flew over and asked, "Are you injured?!"
"I'm fine. They are just some Medial Grade Profound Beasts. Aside from one King Grade Profound Beast, there is no threat."
Xiao Chen circulated his energy and scattered the lava on his body. He did not notice the strange expression on Ao Jiao's face. "Little Yellow Feather, refining the Earth Core Flame will take some time. I can use this time to break through to the second layer of the Blue Dragon Body Nourishing Art.
"Once I reach the second layer, I will be able to condense the Blue Dragon Battle Armor. At that time, if Little Yellow Feather can advance further and the four old fellows dare to stop me, I will fight it out with them."
Xiao Chen had already reached ten Dragon Force long ago. The first layer of the Blue Dragon Body Nourishing Art was already at the peak. He could have broken through long ago.
However, he had not been willing to use that damaged Emperor Grade Secret Treasure with a dragon soul back then, so he had delayed until now.
He could not keep getting chased. Since he could not shake off the four old fellows from the Divine Dragon Palace, he would fight them head-on.
Even if he could not beat them to death, he had to beat the four old fellows until they were afraid and wary of him. The Blue Dragon King was not someone they could chase casually.
Back then, Xiao Chen had tossed away the Emperor Grade Secret Treasure with a dragon soul, delaying the advancement of the Blue Dragon to the second layer until now.
Now that he thought about it, Xiao Chen did not feel any regret. He disdained using a soul that had lost the pride of a dragon.
With a thought, Xiao Chen sighed and took out the True Dragon King spine from the Universe Ring.
The soul of the long and narrow True Dragon spine was still present, and its Dragon Might did not scatter. The moment Xiao Chen released it, a vast Dragon Might spread throughout the entire flaming cave.
As the True Dragon spine vibrated, the entire cave trembled. Rocks fell continuously amid rumbling sounds.
Originally, Xiao Chen had intended to use this True Dragon spine to obtain Heavenly Star Island's Luck. Now that the situation forced him, he could only use it himself.
Actually, there was a better choice — the Dragon's Gate's mountain tablet, Heaven Subduing Stone. If he could suppress the outstanding talents in Bright Moon City one year later, he could bring the mountain tablet back to Heavenly Star Island.
Xiao Chen's eyes sank as he circulated the Blue Dragon Body Nourishing Art. A strong suction came out from his palm.
The True Dragon spine flew into the air and slowly entered Xiao Chen's body along with the suction.
