The distance of over seven hundred miles, under normal circumstances, would take Ye Zhen less than two hundred breaths to traverse at his speed.
If utilizing Wind Flash and Sweep, or riding the little cat, the speed would be even faster.
However, today in this subterranean passage, Ye Zhen took more than two hours to slowly make his way through the seven hundred miles.
Despite this speed, the movent still caused significant air currents during the journey.
Yet again, Wang Baimu offered Ye Zhen so advice.
This advice was sothing Wang Baimu had risked his life to figure out.
When exploring this area earlier, Wang Baimu triggered the Dragon Tornado Lava Storm five tis before discovering the proper way to get through.
In that Dragon Tornado Lava Storm, Wang Baimu barely survived by transforming into a black mist but still sustained varying degrees of injuries each ti, requiring a period of recovery.
Thus, the thod of passage ca at a significant cost.
The thod of passage could be considered simple, but generally, no one would think of it.
When going through the lava basin, one must fly sideways.
At the sa ti, by releasing Protective Spirit Force, a streamlined arrow shape is ford between the body and the Protective Spirit Force, with the front part as sharp as a blade, slicing into the mist as Ye Zhen flies through.
It’s like a knife entering water, creating very small splashes compared to a flat board smacking the water surface, which creates a huge disturbance.
This way, the induced air movent is minimal.
However, upon entering the core area where hot and cold alternate, the convergence of the ice river and lava, Wang Baimu advised Ye Zhen to walk, taking fifteen minutes to slowly pass through the core area.
Thus, after passing through this lava basin, Ye Zhen was sowhat out of breath.
Not from exhaustion.
But because the ever-present toxic mist in the lava basin severely depleted Ye Zhen’s Protective Spirit Force and Protective Spirit Armor, leading to significant Spiritual Power consumption.
"Is it over now?" Ye Zhen sighed in relief after crossing seven hundred miles of the lava basin.
"Yes, but the dangers ahead are even more difficult," Wang Baimu said.
"Aren’t you here....?"
Before he finished speaking, Ye Zhen’s face suddenly changed as his Divine Sense detected that the Fire Spirit Power mark left on the opposite side of the lava basin was suddenly blasted by a powerful force.
Ye Zhen glanced back at the recently crossed lava basin, and his face changed again.
The next mont, Ye Zhen grabbed Wang Baimu and rushed deep into the passage.
Almost simultaneously, the Second Elder of the Three-eyed Demon Clan, Jii Gongyue, and Jii Yan, who had pursued into the lava passage, appeared on the other side of the lava basin.
Jii Yan moved swiftly, sniffing like a beast.
If soone were to observe with Divine Sense, they would notice that as Jii Yan sniffed, invisible light waves radiated in all directions.
"Second Elder, forward, they moved forward, lingered slightly here, hmm, their aura is getting stronger...."
The Demon Clan Dao Realm Venerable Jii Yan, like a hunting dog, sniffed rapidly while advancing quickly.
Under the guidance of Jii Yan, Jii Gongyue didn’t hesitate, charging full speed into the lava basin’s mist.
"Hey, Second Elder, be careful, there’s poison in this mist, and it’s quite potent... Ah-choo!" Jii Yan sneezed loudly.
"There’s mist here and a taste of Water Spiritual Power, rather peculiar... be cautious!" Jii Gongyue stated.
"Second Elder, I can sll the scent of Di Kuohai and Wang Baimu appearing hundreds of miles away; their scent intensity hasn’t changed much, no ambush," Jii Yan said confidently.
"That’s good."
The Second Elder of the Three-eyed Demon Clan, Jii Gongyue, had great faith in Jii Yan’s Innate Divine Ability.
The two Mid Dao Realm experts flying at full strength, their speed was incredibly fast.
As they passed, the whistling wind sounded like thunder, creating fifteen-grade strong winds wherever they went.
From the mont they charged into the lava basin, the howling winds they stirred caused the hot and cold air at the core of the lava basin to explode instantly.
Almost as Jii Yan and Jii Gongyue rushed into the lava basin’s center, a terrifying tornado erupted instantly.
This tornado’s wind power wasn’t significant for Dao Realm experts, but the terror lay in the toxic gas it swept up from the entire lava basin.
While spinning at high speed, every point of air turned into countless high-speed rotating poison arrows, bombarding down on Jii Yan and Jii Gongyue.
Amassing such a volu of air, the poison arrows hitting Jii Yan and Jii Gongyue in that instant couldn’t be less than tens of thousands; it was like tens of thousands of poison arrows firing simultaneously.
Even so, the tens of thousands of poison arrows only consud a small portion of their Spiritual Power, which wasn’t much for Dao Realm experts.
Compared to their profound Cultivation, the consumption of this small amount of Spiritual Power was negligible.
However, when the increasingly violent tornado swept up the subterranean red lava, their expressions finally changed.
The countless scalding lava rotated at high speed, pounding them, causing their Protective Spirit Armor’s Spirit Light to vibrate intensely.
Even for Dao Realm experts, they could not endure the bombardnt of such a worldly might for long.
The most critical threat was that with the growing tornado, Jii Gongyue and Jii Yan were horrified to find themselves surrounded by the Dragon Tornado Lava Storm.
Exerting considerable effort, Jii Yan imdiately raised his Supre Demon Suppression Armor, standing like a demon god filled with Evil Qi in the storm’s center.
The spinning, splashing red lava, at this point, had a touch of Heavenly Punishnt.
"Charge out!"
With a roar, Jii Gongyue opened his golden eye blood pupil again; this ti, the shot-out golden light ford a hollow tunnel straight through the storm’s center.
"Go!"
With a flash, Jii Gongyue and Jii Yan dashed through the hollow tunnel of light, out of the Dragon Tornado Lava Storm’s core.
Jii Yan, panting heavily, sowhat disheveled, retracted his Demon Suppression Armor, chest heaving intensely.
"Be careful, let’s go slower, this place, capable of simultaneously presenting ice river and molten lava, is likely not simple," Jii Gongyue advised, looking towards the distant passage as his eyes suddenly sparked a brilliant light.
At the sa ti, after the shortest ti sprinting dozens of miles, Ye Zhen, upon seeing the surging lava in the lava basin, turned and left.
"If you want to survive, don’t hold back. Say everything, so I can advance as quickly as possible," Ye Zhen stated coldly.
Ye Zhen understood well that while the lava basin was perilous, it wouldn’t trap two Mid Dao Realm experts for long.
Wang Baimu, who was savvy from his Jianghu experiences, certainly knew that those Dao Realm experts had already pursued them.
If those Dao Realm experts caught up, Wang Baimu would be the first to die.
Consequently, Wang Baimu held nothing back, disclosing all hazardous areas and passage thods in the subterranean passage as Ye Zhen approached them.
Many places were indeed incredibly dangerous.
Without Wang Baimu’s warnings, Ye Zhen might need to use all his strength and techniques just to survive, possibly sustaining serious injuries or even losing his life.
But with Wang Baimu, the pathfinder’s place markers, the later dangerous areas were passed through thrillingly yet safely.
After half a day of rapid flying through the subterranean passage, Ye Zhen ca to an abrupt halt, eyes suddenly filled with wild joy upon sighting a rather expansive underground swamp lake.
Five Seed Pogranate Fruit!
With Ye Zhen’s present Eye Power, as long as the straight-line distance was unobstructed, even from a hundred miles away, he could see quite clearly.
In the very center of the swamp lake before him, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects, the Five Seed Pogranate Fruit depicted in the Shadow Capture Jade Slip, were shining brightly!
