Death Grip
The Ice and Fire Passage is divided into two parts: the first half is a corridor covered by endless snowstorms, while the second half is a corridor of blazing red flames.
Although there are no raging fires burning in the passage, the intense heat is something even the strongest in the Yang Spirit Realm might struggle to endure.
To withstand the fiery power here, they can only rely on Zhao Yiming, who possesses a treasure specifically designed to resist fire, known as the Ice Soul Pearl.
It is said that the Ice Soul Pearl is a divine pearl embedded in the Ice Soul Divine Sword, possessing extraordinary cold power. However, since the Ice Soul Divine Sword was destroyed, the whereabouts of the Ice Soul Pearl became unknown until it was fortuitously obtained by Zhao Yiming.
Even without the Ice Soul Divine Sword, the power of the Ice Soul Pearl alone is already comparable to that of the Thunderfire Pearl in Xing Chen's possession.
As everyone stepped into the Fire Path of the Ice and Fire Passage, Zhao Yiming took out the Ice Soul Pearl, a crystal-clear blue orb that emitted a faint blue light, spreading an icy power quietly.
The terrifying high temperature around them was suppressed, and even a layer of Thin Ice formed on the ground, allowing everyone to walk on it without feeling any heat.
"Why am I so unlucky? Why is it so difficult to gather some power for the Thunderfire Divine Ring?" Xing Chen thought angrily as he followed behind everyone.
The appearance of Zhao Yiming's Ice Soul Pearl and Qiu Pengchi's Immortal Lamp completely disrupted Xing Chen's original plan, shattering his hopes of taking advantage of the situation to accumulate some power for the Thunderfire Divine Ring.
"Your Ice Soul Pearl is way better than my broken lamp. At least all the Negative Power in your Ice Soul Pearl has been dispelled, and you can use it freely. I can't do that with my Immortal Lamp. The Negative Power inside it cannot be dispelled at all, and I still haven't figured out what its actual use is!"
Looking at the floating Ice Soul Pearl above Zhao Yiming, Qiu Pengchi said somewhat enviously.
"You two shouldn't act all coy. The treasures we have are definitely not as good as yours," said Zhang Mengning, rolling her eyes at their mutual flattery.
Although Zhao Yiming and Qiu Pengchi may not be the strongest among the five, their treasures are undoubtedly the best among them. Moreover, they have all cultivated the Soul Devouring Refinement Technique, making their cultivation levels equal.
In this situation, what determines their strength is naturally their treasures; whoever has higher-level treasures will be considered the strongest among them.
"Hehe, although the ice and fire powers in this Ice and Fire Passage have been significantly enhanced, with your two treasures protecting us, we should be able to pass through here without encountering situations like those in the Yin Wind Passage."
As soon as Zhang Mengning finished speaking, Lu Yunhe on her left opened his mouth.
The power of ice and fire in the Ice and Fire Passage is definitely not weaker than the Nine Nether Phoenix in the Yin Wind Passage. The reason it did not pose any threat to everyone is entirely due to the effects of the two Rare Treasures in Zhao Yiming and Qiu Pengchi's hands.
"Heh heh, this is just luck. It just so happens that Brother Qiu and I have Rare Treasures that can counter the power of ice and fire. Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to pass through this Ice and Fire Passage!" Zhao Yiming said with a smile.
Xing Chen, listening to their conversation, couldn't help but curl his lip. These people were indeed as he suspected; their internal relationships were not that good. From their dialogue, it was clear that there were intrigues among them.
However, there had never been a catalyst to trigger their conflicts, which is why they had been getting along peacefully.
"As long as there are contradictions among you, it will be easier to deal with you!" Xing Chen thought to himself, though he did not show any signs of it on the surface.
"However, no matter what these people are like, if possible, I should still escape first. Otherwise, my fate will be in their hands."
Originally, Xing Chen planned to use the Thunderfire Divine Ring to absorb the powers in the passage. Once the Thunderfire Divine Ring was filled with power, he wouldn't have to fear these people anymore. But now it seemed that this plan might not work, so Xing Chen was already considering how to escape.
When he had just passed through the Yin Wind Passage, he had an opportunity to escape. However, since he knew nothing about this mysterious palace and had no idea what dangers lay ahead, he decided to play it safe and did not immediately flee but continued to mingle with these people.
This time passing through the Ice and Fire Passage went relatively smoothly; they encountered no dangers and safely made it through. After resting briefly in the Second Palace's Ice and Fire Palace, they entered the Puppet Passage leading to the Third Palace. The Puppet Passage was filled with numerous Puppets.
These Puppets were made from extremely special materials; not only were their bodies exceptionally hard and difficult to damage, but their strength was also outrageously powerful.
The weakest of these Puppets could rival those in the Yang Spirit Realm, while the strongest could even match those at the Yang Spirit Peak or even Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm.
Moreover, these Puppets lacked intelligence, giving them a significant immunity to soul attacks. Essentially, Zhao Yiming and others' powerful Soul Power would have little effect; at most, it could assist in combat.
"There are countless Puppets in this Puppet Passage. It is impossible to completely eliminate them. So once you enter the passage, just run forward. When facing Puppets, avoid them if you can; if you can't avoid them, then you can either destroy the Puppets or be killed by them."
Before entering the Puppet Passage, Zhao Yiming glanced at Xing Chen and reminded him.
Xing Chen nodded. Even if Zhao Yiming didn't, he would escape the Puppet Passage as quickly as possible. After all, the Puppets in this passage were virtually endless, and it was nearly impossible to eliminate them completely. The only way was to escape the Puppet Passage swiftly and enter the Puppet Palace.
"Remember, no matter what, you must not get entangled with those Puppets. Otherwise, there will only be one outcome for you: death!"
Zhao Yiming reminded Xing Chen once more before joining the others in entering the Puppet Passage.
As soon as they stepped into the Puppet Passage, they were met with a dense swarm of dark red Puppets. Each of these Puppets had blood-red eyes, sharp fangs, and hands with claw-like fingers. Their bodies were covered in dark red scales, exuding a violent and fierce aura that surged toward Xing Chen and the others almost instantly.
"Leave here as quickly as possible; don't worry about anyone else—just take care of yourself. Let's meet up in the Puppet Palace." Seeing the mass of Puppets ahead, Zhao Yiming shouted loudly and then moved first to charge forward.
The Puppets also sprang into action at almost the same moment, low growls echoing as they swung their claws and lunged at the group. The fierce aura they emitted was intimidating.
"These Puppets are so strong; they're much tougher than the one I encountered in Thunderfire Temple," Xing Chen thought while using Shadow Shift, his gaze flickering slightly.
The Puppet Passage was at least several thousand meters long and dozens of meters wide. Based on the current density of Puppets, there were at least tens of thousands of them.
"Seven Killing Blood Seal!"
As he advanced, a Puppet comparable to Yang Po First Level suddenly lunged at Xing Chen. A flash of blood light appeared in Xing Chen's eyes as a surge of murderous intent erupted. Five Blood Seals transformed into a Blood Dragon that charged toward the Puppet.
The Puppet was not to be outdone; it swiped its claw, producing a sound that seemed to tear through the air. This ferocious claw collided with Xing Chen's Seven Killing Blood Seal.
Boom!
Although the Puppet was powerful, it would gain no advantage by clashing head-on with Xing Chen's Seven Killing Blood Seal. Almost instantly, the Puppet was sent flying by Xing Chen's strike.
Its chest caved in deeply as it flew backward, crashing into more than ten other Puppets along the way.
"Indeed, this child has some skills." Zhao Yiming, who had been secretly observing Xing Chen, couldn't help but nod to himself as he saw Xing Chen knock the Puppet away with a single move.
Although this Puppet was only at the level of a Yang Po First Level expert, in actual combat, it would definitely not be weaker than an ordinary Yang Po Er Chong. After all, the Puppet did not feel pain and had an incredibly tough body, surpassing even the same-level Yang Spirit Realm experts who specialized in body refinement.
Moreover, with the Puppet's reckless fighting style, an average Yang Spirit Realm expert would absolutely not be its opponent.
After repelling this Puppet with one strike, Xing Chen had no time to care about its fate and vanished from the spot in a flash.
Along the way, facing these Puppets, Xing Chen avoided them whenever possible. For those he couldn't avoid, he resolved them quickly. Fortunately, he had not encountered any Puppets whose strength exceeded his own by too much.
The strongest Puppet he encountered was only equivalent to a Yang Po San Chong expert. Faced with this Puppet, Xing Chen almost immediately took out the Thunder God Sword.
Using his agility, he struck down the Puppet's head with one sword swing. It was precisely because of this Puppet's appearance that Xing Chen realized that although the Thunder God Sword was an Earth Grade Divine Weapon, it could at most sever the head of a Puppet at the Yang Po San Chong level.
If it were a Yang Spirit Realm Fourth Layer Puppet, the Thunder God Sword would not be sufficient to cut it down. After all, the materials used for a Yang Po Fourfold Puppet were even more precious, and its body was tougher. An Earth-Level primary Divine Weapon was no longer enough to break through its defenses.
Based on Xing Chen's estimation, to breach the defenses of a Yang Po Fourfold Puppet, a mid-level Earth-Level Divine Weapon would be necessary.
"Not good, it's a Yang Po Fivefold Puppet." At that moment, Xing Chen suddenly noticed that a Yang Po Realm Fifth Layer Puppet had locked onto him and was rapidly approaching.
