Chapter 464: Beneath the Dragon Palace
As the path of incense flourished, more and more powerful figures emerged, and Zhang Chen became increasingly cautious.
Those tenth-order deities were already comparable to the Celestial Immortals of his original world, let alone the eleventh-order, twelfth-order, and even the existences of the 'fruit' rank.
Each one was terrifying!
Even if they were all nerfed versions, they were still terrifying.
"Close!" Seeing Zhang Chen and Xie Lingyun falling into the magma, Gu Mingyue slowly clasped her hands together, and the torn earth miraculously closed up again, seamlessly.
"Boy, no matter how great your abilities, once you are trapped in the magma, you can only be refined to death," Gu Mingyue said triumphantly, then flashed and soared into the sky, directly attacking Xie Xuan and joining the battlefield to encircle him.
Xie Xuan was already at a disadvantage against the three ninth-order deities, struggling to resist, but fortunately, the Tiger Strength Great Immortal had been frightened away by Zhang Chen, otherwise today would be Xie Xuan's day of tribulation.
Xie Xuan was a Yang God Grand Master who had comprehended the mysteries of the laws of heaven and earth, and was by no means comparable to those counterfeit deities who relied on incense and faith to accumulate power.
Seeing the deities constantly besieging him, a hint of retreat appeared in Xie Xuan's eyes: "This place is not suitable for a long stay, I need to leave as soon as possible, otherwise if that Tiger Strength Great Immortal makes a surprise attack, I will surely be doomed here.
If I can rely on the fortune gathered by my 50,000 troops, I may have a chance to fight against these old guys."
Thinking of this, Xie Xuan slapped his palm, and bursts of thunder and fire shot out, forcing back the three Yellow Heaven Path Grand Masters who were attacking, and then he flashed and disappeared from the spot.
"Xie Xuan is really difficult to deal with!
We were originally here to assist the Tiger Strength Great Immortal, but who knew that the Tiger Strength Great Immortal would retreat inexplicably.
We can't keep Xie Xuan either, it's really troublesome," Gu Mingyue said, looking at Xie Xuan's departing figure, without continuing to pursue him, because her speed simply couldn't match his.
If they wanted to besiege a ninth-order expert, unless they had the right timing, geographical advantages, and popular support to force the opponent into a desperate situation, otherwise no one could stop them from retreating.
In the underground magma,
An ice boat shuttled through the magma.
Zhang Chen held the Fire Aversion Pearl in his hand, and the Fire Aversion Pearl emitted a warm aura, turning into a red light罩, enveloping Zhang Chen and the ice boat.
No matter how scorching the flames outside, they couldn't harm the slightest bit within the light罩.
"What a treasure!" Xie Lingyun looked at the peanut-sized red pellet in Zhang Chen's palm and praised it.
She was not someone who lacked insight, and she recognized the extraordinary nature of the Fire Aversion Pearl at a glance.
"It can only ward off fire, and has no other abilities besides that, it's just a chicken rib," Zhang Chen said indifferently.
This Fire Aversion Pearl was indeed not very useful to him.
Xie Lingyun said unhappily: "This is underground magma, which can be regarded as the fire of the earth, and also a kind of heaven and earth flame.
Your pearl can easily block the power of the earth fire, is that also a chicken rib?"
Zhang Chen remained noncommittal, raised his head and looked at the closed earth fissure above: "Gu Mingyue wants to completely trap us here and refine us alive with the earth fire."
"Without your Fire Aversion Pearl, we would be dead, so Gu Mingyue's plan can't be considered a failure," Zhang Chen's eyes scanned the surroundings, only to see a vast sea of fire everywhere, and he couldn't see the road ahead at all.
"How do we escape?" A trace of worry appeared in Xie Lingyun's eyes.
Although the two of them would not be refined to death in the sea of fire, they would be trapped here if they couldn't escape.
As for relying on Xie Xuan to rescue them?
Magma also belonged to earth fire, a kind of heaven and earth strange fire, and the aura it emitted would interfere with the heaven and earth Qi, even a Yang God True Person would not be able to find the target in this vast sea of fire.
Moreover, the flame itself had the effect of refining, and as soon as the two people's aura left their bodies, it would be refined by the raging earth fire, and even if the people outside wanted to trace the aura, they couldn't do it.
"Don't worry!" Zhang Chen comforted Xie Lingyun: "I naturally have a way to bring you out of this alive."
Zhang Chen urged the ice boat to shuttle through the magma for dozens of miles, and stopped at a magma pool.
Then he raised his head and looked at the earth's crust above, and then activated the Earth Control Technique, and the Earth Authority operated, and a passage slowly appeared before the two of them.
Zhang Chen abandoned the ice boat, grabbed Xie Lingyun's soft hand, and said: "Go!"
Then the two stepped onto the passage, and as the two passed, the passage closed again, not giving the magma a chance to leak out.
"You still have such means, I really didn't see it in the past.
How many means are you hiding, kid?" Xie Lingyun looked at Zhang Chen with a curious face.
Zhang Chen smiled lightly: "I have many hidden means, Sister will know later."
As Zhang Chen continued to open up passages, after only an hour, when Zhang Chen opened up the passage again, the clear blue water bottom appeared before his eyes.
However, the water flow was not pouring into the passage because Zhang Chen was controlling the water.
"We're out!" Xie Lingyun looked at the clear water above her head and let out a long breath, and the suppressed feeling in her heart disappeared completely.
"Where to next?" Zhang Chen asked Xie Lingyun.
"Without my burden, my father, even if he can't defeat the three Grand Masters of the Yellow Heaven Path, it's still no problem for him to escape.
Let's go to the Spring Pavilion Lake Dragon Palace, explore the creation in the Dragon Palace, and then evacuate the Northern Territory," Xie Lingyun's voice was very calm.
Zhang Chen followed Xie Lingyun's words without refuting, regrouped the ice boat and appeared on the water surface.
Looking into the distance, the entire Northern Territory was flooded, and the turbulent atmosphere between heaven and earth had gradually stabilized, and it was clear that the battle between the masters had stopped.
Zhang Chen drove the ice boat all the way and rushed towards the Yellow River.
Before long, he had already arrived at the Yellow River, and he saw that the Yellow River had been filled in, completely integrated with the flood, and was surging endlessly, and he could no longer see the appearance of the riverbed.
But Zhang Chen mastered the Water Control Technique, so it was not difficult to find the underground entrance.
The underground entrance was already filled with water.
Zhang Chen's ice boat stopped on the water above the underground entrance.
Xie Lingyun said from the side: "There were originally experts from the Inspection Department stationed here, but now that the flood has struck, those experts must have fled for their lives."
Without the burden of the army, those experts had a greater chance of surviving than ordinary people.
They ran faster, climbed trees faster, and hugged trees tighter, so they were not easily washed away by the flood.
All of this was the capital for experts to survive.
Zhang Chen's heart moved, and the water flow opened up a passage, turning into a staircase.
Zhang Chen and Xie Lingyun stepped on the stairs and walked into the underground cave.
"Speaking of which, your Water Control Technique and Earth Control Technique are really powerful, you are simply invincible whether you go to heaven or earth," Xie Lingyun stepped on the water stairs, feeling the heavy feeling like a dirt staircase, and praised him.
"It's just a small trick, how could it be seen in Sister's eyes?" Zhang Chen said with a smile.
"This is not a small trick.
If you master the right timing and geographical advantages, even ninth-order experts can't do anything to you, what is this if not a small trick?
I want a stack of these small tricks," Xie Lingyun said unhappily.
Zhang Chen smiled.
Following Xie Lingyun back into the underground Dragon Palace, Xie Lingyun began to introduce the information in the underground Dragon Palace to Zhang Chen: "Didn't we fight Zhang Shicheng's first body in the Spring Pavilion Lake Dragon Palace before, interrupting his plan to transform into a Heavenly Dragon?
Later, when the Inspection Department was cleaning up the battlefield, with the dragon Qi of the Northern Territory's earth veins moving, they discovered that there was actually a secret realm hidden under the Spring Pavilion Lake, and there was a different world in that secret realm.
It's just that there is great terror hidden there, and no matter how many experts go in, they all perish.
Even my father once came to explore it himself, but unfortunately, before he could step into that secret realm, he was already frightened away."
Zhang Chen stopped when he heard this and turned to look at Xie Lingyun: "You want me to go to something that your father can't handle?"
"My father can't handle Zhang Shicheng, but you have handled him twice.
The things that my father can't handle don't mean you can't handle them," Xie Lingyun blinked her big eyes: "I believe in your strength!
Moreover, there is definitely a great creation under the Spring Pavilion Lake Dragon Palace, and it will never disappoint you."
Zhang Chen remained noncommittal when he heard this.
He already had enough treasures, so where did he need other treasures?
There were fewer and fewer treasures in this world that could move his heart.
Treasures are not necessarily better the more there are, the main thing is to be proficient and comprehensive.
The two came all the way to the Spring Pavilion Lake Dragon Palace, and saw that the Spring Pavilion Lake Dragon Palace had been turned into ruins, destroyed by Zhang Shicheng's anger that day.
"The entire palace was cast from crystal, and it can be used to create various crystal objects, which made my Inspection Department a fortune.
It was also when they were transporting the crystal in Spring Pavilion Lake that they discovered the mysterious entrance in the ruins," Xie Lingyun said.
While speaking, the two had already come to a corner of the Spring Pavilion Lake Dragon Palace ruins, and they saw that the broken crystal at that corner had been cleaned up.
In the ruins, there was a three-meter-diameter hole that went straight down, dark and bottomless, and at a glance, it was like the giant mouth of a beast, seemingly able to devour all matter.
"This is it," Xie Lingyun said.
Zhang Chen stood at the entrance of the Spring Pavilion Lake Dragon Palace and looked around, inspecting the changes back and forth.
His Righteous God's golden light was flowing in his eyes, and after a while, he said: "What danger is there inside?"
He didn't notice any dangerous aura in this black hole.
"It can take people's lives," Xie Lingyun said.
Zhang Chen's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he had an urge to leave immediately.
He didn't have much lifespan left, and if he accidentally lost one or two years of lifespan, then he might as well just slit his own throat, what was the point of tossing around?
"Don't be afraid, the thing that takes people's lives may be the thing that extends life.
My father once felt a very strong vitality deep in the cave, and there may be a power inside that makes people immortal," Xie Lingyun's voice was very serious.
