Death Grip
Not good!
Seeing this situation, Xing Chen's expression changed slightly. The Thunderfire Pearl flew back into his body, and a layer of purplish-red light shield instantly rose around him.
Thunderfire Divine Shield!
In a critical moment, Xing Chen activated the Thunderfire Divine Shield. The Nine Nether Phoenix winds that were about to blow towards him were all blocked by the Thunderfire Divine Shield. However, the Vital Energy within him was rapidly depleting.
Moreover, this place did not have as much Negative Power available for him to absorb as outside. Therefore, if his Vital Energy was completely exhausted here, it basically meant that death was already beckoning him.
Feeling the rapid dissipation of his Vital Energy, Xing Chen's face darkened instantly. Even if he wanted to use Shadow Shift to escape to the other side, it was impossible now because the Black Wind Dragon had already charged over. The endless dark winds surged towards him, causing his Vital Energy to deplete even faster.
"Quickly transfer your Vital Energy to me, or we will all die!" Seeing the wind dragon about to attack, Xing Chen shouted urgently. At the same time, the Thunderfire Pearl flew up again, and the violent Nine Thunder Fire surged out instantly, transforming into a Thunderfire Divine Dragon that charged towards the Black Wind Dragon.
"Quickly, everyone transfer your Vital Energy to him!"
Seeing this situation, everyone quickly struck out with their palms in mid-air, sending rolling Vital Energy into Xing Chen's body. With the support of this powerful Vital Energy, the Thunderfire Divine Shield around Xing Chen expanded outward, enveloping everyone within it.
The Thunderfire Divine Dragon in the air also became more solidified, faintly emanating a sense of Dragon Might.
Boom!
The two Divine Dragons clashed together in an instant. The terrifying and violent Nine Thunder Fire burned fiercely in the air as if it could incinerate everything in the world. Meanwhile, the dark winds from the Black Wind Dragon seemed capable of extinguishing anything; both sides were equally matched and unwilling to yield.
"Run!"
Seeing that the Thunderfire Divine Dragon had restrained the Black Wind Dragon, Xing Chen moved. Shadow Shift was instantly activated, and in a flash, he appeared a hundred meters away.
When others saw that Xing Chen had already escaped, they naturally used various means to flee as well without the protective shield.
The one who escaped the fastest was Xing Chen, after all, he had the advantage. With a few flickers, he had already appeared at the end of the passage, and then took a step forward, completely entering the Fireburn Palace.
"Damn it, this guy runs really fast," Zhao Yiming cursed inwardly, but his speed did not decrease at all.
The strong ones among them suffered no losses this time; aside from being somewhat disheveled, there was nothing else. However, those who were forced to come here were in a dire situation. The highest cultivation level among them was only at the Yang Spirit Realm First Layer, and facing the Nine Nether Phoenix, they had basically no power to resist and were blown away, their souls scattered and perished.
Fortunately, Zhang Mengning acted quickly and saved the girl she brought along, swiftly escaping from this place.
After a stick of incense's time, except for the two who had already died, everyone else had arrived at the Fireburn Palace. However, since the Fireburn Palace had long been emptied by Zhao Yiming and others during their previous visits, there was nothing valuable left here.
"Ha—this Yin Wind Passage is finally over, but what should we do about the even more terrifying Ice and Fire Passage?" Lu Yunhe gasped for breath as he looked at everyone and asked.
Since the destructive power of the Yin Wind Passage had been enhanced, the Ice and Fire Passage must have also undergone changes, and its power would definitely be stronger.
"Let's first circulate our energy to recover; we can discuss other matters once everyone has restored their Vital Energy," Zhang Mengning said at this moment. While speaking, she cast a displeased glance at Xing Chen. After all, when Xing Chen fled just now, he showed no signs or warnings to them.
If Xing Chen had just said a word, those two unfortunate Rascals would not have died in the Yin Wind Passage. However, Xing Chen did not give them even the slightest hint, so Zhang Mengning now held a grudge against him.
Nevertheless, considering that they would need him when passing through the Thunderfire Passage, she could only temporarily suppress her resentment.
At this moment, Xing Chen was also circulating his energy to recover. Although what had just happened was extremely brief, his Vital Energy was almost completely depleted.
Therefore, his primary goal now was to restore his Vital Energy; otherwise, if they entered the next passage, Ice and Fire Passage, in their current state, they would definitely meet with disaster.
"That Yin Wind Passage is already so formidable as just an outer passage; the Ice and Fire Passage below must be even more dangerous. I must be fully prepared," Xing Chen thought to himself while circulating his energy.
"Right! I can use the Thunderfire Divine Ring. The Thunderfire Divine Ring can absorb external forces to replenish itself. As long as I have the Thunderfire Divine Ring with me, neither Yin Wind nor Ice and Fire can harm me," Xing Chen recalled the Thunderfire Divine Ring in his hand.
The absorption limit of the Thunderfire Divine Ring is at the Peak of Fate Observation Realm. As long as the total amount of those forces does not exceed that level, the Thunderfire Divine Ring can absorb them all.
Moreover, even if it exceeds that limit, Xing Chen could use that powerful attack to break through all obstacles and then absorb the forces again. This would definitely be a win-win situation.
First, he no longer had to worry about being harmed by those powerful forces.
Second, the Thunderfire Divine Ring could be charged with power, unleashing an attack equivalent to that of a Peak Expert of the Fate-Observing Realm.
Third, he no longer had to fear people like Zhao Yiming. As long as the power within the Thunderfire Divine Ring was fully charged, exterminating them would be a matter of mere moments.
Thus, Xing Chen finally let go of his worries regarding this matter and no longer had to live in constant fear for his life.
Half an hour later, everyone had basically finished their adjustments. Zhao Yiming stood up and said, "Next, we will enter the Ice and Fire Passage. I believe everyone has seen the situation in the Yin Wind Passage. The power of the Yin Wind there has increased by a third compared to before. The Ice and Fire Passage will surely be the same, if not more."
"This time, everyone must be fully prepared; otherwise, we might lose our lives in the Ice and Fire Passage."
"Alright, stop rambling. As per usual, I'll take care of the first half of the Ice and Fire Passage while you handle the second half," Qiu Pengchi said with an eye roll.
"Okay, if that's the case, let's enter the Ice and Fire Passage!" Zhao Yiming nodded, and then everyone stepped into the Ice and Fire Passage. As soon as they entered, a bone-chilling wind and snow swept over them.
However, as soon as this ice and snow appeared, Qiu Pengchi suddenly produced something in his hand: an Oil Lamp. A flame flickered gently on the wick of the lamp, seemingly eternal, releasing endless warmth that illuminated everyone. A warm sensation immediately rose within all of them.
"Treasure! This is definitely a treasure, and it must be from the Sword Mound," Xing Chen exclaimed with green light in his eyes as he looked at the Oil Lamp in Qiu Pengchi's hand. He could still sense the immense Negative Power emanating from it.
The reason why it was called Sword Mound was not just because it contained broken swords and similar weapons; there were many other treasures within it. It was named Sword Mound because it had the most sword-type Divine Weapons.
"Tsk tsk, you really have good luck. This Immortal Lamp is probably one of the best-preserved treasures from the Sword Mound!" Zhao Yiming remarked in admiration as he gazed at Qiu Pengchi's Oil Lamp.
"Nonsense! The most important lampshade is missing, and there's an alarming amount of Negative Power inside. If it weren't for my strong Soul Power, I would have likely become a Puppet with lost consciousness as soon as I took it out," Qiu Pengchi retorted. He had possessed this Oil Lamp for ten years but still hadn't thoroughly studied its functions. Besides knowing that it could ward off coldness, he hadn't discovered much else.
Moreover, the most frustrating part was that he couldn't dispel the Negative Power inside; even the golden light from the Golden Palace couldn't eliminate it.
This meant he couldn't use this Oil Lamp for extended periods; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to withstand the Negative Power within it.
"Fortunately, the negative energy here hasn't been dispelled; otherwise, it would truly be a waste of resources and would definitely attract lightning."
Xing Chen stared at the Oil Lamp, his eyes gleaming with determination. He secretly decided that he must seize this Oil Lamp. With this Oil Lamp, if Xing Chen could absorb the Negative Power within, he would surely break through to the Yang Spirit Realm.
"Stop complaining. Among the treasures we have, yours is probably the best Immortal Lamp. Moreover, it seems that this Immortal Lamp has no trouble resisting the surrounding Ice and Snow Power!"
Zhao Yiming continued to exclaim. He could feel that the power of the ice and snow around them had grown significantly stronger than before, yet Qiu Pengchi's Oil Lamp showed no signs of strain against this Ice and Snow Power, which made him admire the Oil Lamp even more.
At this moment, Xing Chen was no longer focused on Qiu Pengchi's Immortal Lamp but was instead contemplating how to absorb the Ice and Snow Power. After all, everyone was currently illuminated by the light of the Immortal Lamp; if he suddenly drew in the Ice and Snow Power, he would likely become the target of everyone's ire.
After thinking for a while without coming up with a good solution, Xing Chen reluctantly abandoned his previous plan and sighed inwardly, realizing that these people often acted out of turn when they shouldn't and failed to act when they should.
"Alright, now it's your turn." Soon, everyone had traversed the icy path, and ahead lay the Fire Path. Before them was a scene of blazing red; both the walls and ground were glowing crimson, with wisps of heat continuously rising, giving anyone who looked a sense of burning warmth.
