Chapter 109: xuanhuang boundary breaking boat, Can’t Afford to Use It!

Ning Yun hurried out of the cave as if fleeing, and once outside, she could not help but retch.

"Junior Sister Ning, what is wrong?"

Ye Chen, who was behind her, saw this and chased after her, but to his surprise, Ning Yun waved her hand at him and actually vomited.

Only then did Ye Chen realize that the smell on his body was off. He dove back into the cave, burned his original clothes, and changed into a brand-new Yanhuo Holy Land Disciple robe.

When he came out, his expression was full of gloom, and his heart was instantly filled with disgust toward Ning Yun.

If he did not still need her to lead the way, Ye Chen might have already been unable to control the killing intent in his heart.

"Junior Sister, I am truly sorry. It is possible that there was some Yao Beast excrement in that pool water. I have offended you."

Ye Chen was good at disguising himself; in the blink of an eye, he put on a genial, spring-breeze-like expression.

"Senior Brother Ye, I do not blame you. I also did not expect it to be like this."

Ning Yun had also collected herself by now and spoke up to comfort Ye Chen.

On the other side of Burning Heaven Valley.

Miao Dandan was dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, and standing beside her was a figure exuding the aura of the tenth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

There was no vitality on that figure, only a faint trace of Death Qi.

It was clearly a black zombie exuding a terrifying aura.

If one observed carefully, one would find that purple fuzz had already begun to grow on the black zombie's body.

This was precisely the renowned corpse-refining technique of the Black Abyss Holy Land.

Black zombies are impervious to swords and spears; at the same cultivation level, even Vicious Beasts struggle to be a match for them.

The moment the purple fuzz covers its entire body, this black zombie will advance into a purple zombie, and the strength of a purple zombie corresponds to the Saint Realm of humans.

However, the process of advancement requires absorbing a large amount of essence blood from Yao Beasts or Cultivators, making it extremely difficult to refine.

"Hahaha, stop running! Just obediently become nourishment for Little Black!"

Miao Dandan had a playful look on her face.

The demonic blade in her hand was covered in Black Abyss Devilish Qi, and she appeared behind several Cultivators like the Grim Reaper.

The terrifying black zombie was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it killed several straggling Cultivators. They did not even have time for their Nascent Souls to escape before being swallowed by the black zombie in one bite—it was extremely bloody and terrifying.

Most of these Cultivators had cultivation levels below the third level of the Nascent Soul stage, and the scene was a one-sided massacre.

The Cultivators in the distance were terrified out of their wits and quickly fled in different directions.

…

Zhou Chen had arrived outside a Restriction at this moment.

Through the Restriction, he could faintly see a crimson flying boat.

The strength of this Restriction was far less than the one outside Burning Heaven Valley.

Zhou Chen did not know Formation techniques and could only attack with brute force.

Undying Golden Body Art!

Boom!

Zhou Chen threw a punch, and the light of the Restriction instantly dimmed significantly.

Zhou Chen was overjoyed and threw another punch.

After striking about a dozen times, this Restriction finally shattered.

What met Zhou Chen's eyes was a massive flying boat.

It was unknown how many years had passed for the flying boat, and its thin Spiritual Qi light film was covered in dust.

Generally speaking, refining an ownerless flying boat is very convenient and does not require refining others' Divine Thought.

A beam of Spiritual Qi shot out, and the flying boat was instantly refined by Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen only felt a faint, tenuous connection.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for intercepting someone else's Opportunity—a Saint-Rank Top-Grade Space-Breaking Boat, triggering a ten-thousand-fold return! Obtained an Imperial Rank Top-Grade flying boat, the xuanhuang boundary breaking boat! Do you wish to claim it immediately?]

The moment the crimson flying boat was in his hands, a notification rang in Zhou Chen's mind.

"Claim!"

Zhou Chen entered the Guiyi Secret Realm and claimed the xuanhuang boundary breaking boat.

Hum.

The sky-covering xuanhuang boundary breaking boat suddenly appeared. The flying boat was exceptionally magnificent and could accommodate at least tens of thousands of people. The flying boat's built-in Formation also carried a terrifying aura.

Information about the xuanhuang boundary breaking boat flooded into Zhou Chen's mind, and Zhou Chen was instantly surging with emotion.

He had struck it rich!!!

An Imperial Rank Top-Grade flying boat!

This was a top-tier existence throughout the entire Tianxuan Continent!

As far as Zhou Chen knew, even the Taichu Holy Land only had a few Imperial Rank Low Grade flying boats, one of which was for the exclusive use of the Supreme Elder of the Taichu Holy Land, Dao Xuan.

However, as more information came in, the joy on Zhou Chen's face was instantly extinguished.

To activate the Imperial Rank Top-Grade flying boat once, the minimum consumption is one hundred thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones!

Zhou Chen simply could not afford to play with it right now.

Enraged, he cursed it as a "tasteless chicken rib" and decisively turned around to leave the Guiyi Secret Realm.

Deep in the Burning Heaven Valley, at the foot of a volcano a few miles away.

A strange ice cave appeared.

"Junior Brother Ye, according to the previous intelligence from our Yanhuo Holy Land, the Strange Fire should be right here."

Ning Yun checked the surrounding terrain and said to Ye Chen.

"Thank you for the trouble, Junior Sister. Let us go in."

Just as they walked into the ice cave, the terrifying Divine Sense pressure caused Ning Yun's face to turn pale.

Ye Chen was slightly better off, but he was also under considerable pressure.

"Senior Brother Ye, do not worry. Before coming here, I borrowed a Mind-Stabilizing Pearl from my Master, specifically to enhance Divine Sense resistance."

Having said that, Ning Yun produced a white bead from her hand, which instantly enveloped the two of them.

Their expressions relaxed, and the pressure on their Divine Sense instantly lessened.

Before long, Ye Chen and Ning Yun reached the end of the ice cave. In front of them was a smooth, mirror-like ice wall, resembling ten-thousand-year profound ice.

"Senior Brother Ye, there seems to be something inside."

Ning Yun shouted happily.

Through the ice wall, Ye Chen could faintly see a flame flickering with a faint white light.

Ice Spirit Cold Fire!

Twenty-first on the Strange Fire Ranking!

"It is indeed here!"

Ye Chen was trembling with excitement, but the Formation fluctuations emanating from the ice wall made Ye Chen frown.

The ice wall clearly had a powerful Restriction on it, covered with complex patterns.

If he destroyed it by force, it might trigger serious consequences, leading to failure. Ye Chen hesitated for a moment.

"Master! Tell me how to break this Formation!"

Ye Chen's tone was urgent, and he had lost his usual respect.

"Left three, Kan position, seven parts Spiritual Qi. Right seven, Li position, you must strike the Kun palace node with full force…"

Deep in the Sea of Consciousness, the Ring Spirit did not waste words, though its aged voice seemed to carry a hint of exhaustion.

After speaking, the Ring Spirit let out a sigh that only it could hear.

Rumble!

After listening, Ye Chen's face showed joy. He circulated his Spiritual Qi according to the Ring Spirit's instructions and violently struck the Restriction node.

Before long.

Crack!

The ice wall shook violently, cracks continued to spread, and finally, it cracked open completely.

The moment the ice wall shattered, a bone-chilling cold aura rushed toward them!

"Senior Brother Ye is amazing!"

Ning Yun, not knowing the situation, exclaimed in admiration; in her eyes, it seemed Ye Chen could solve anything.

"It's mine! Hahaha, the Strange Fire is mine!"

Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and he could not wait to absorb the Strange Fire.

"Yo, isn't this the great Genius Ye Chen with the Fire Spirit Body? Long time no see. Your cultivation has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage? And with a beauty by your side, you are living quite well."

A playful voice rang out abruptly in the ice cave.

Hearing this unforgettable voice, Ye Chen felt his whole body stiffen and shiver uncontrollably!

Ning Yun looked toward the entrance of the ice cave, her eyes filled with hostility, and she stepped back half a step behind Ye Chen.

In the shadows of the cave entrance, Zhou Chen stood with his hands behind his back, a trace of mockery hanging on the corner of his mouth.

"Zhou Chen!!!"

Ye Chen squeezed the two words out from between his teeth, his eyes instantly bloodshot, transforming into monstrous rage.

"It is I, Junior Brother Ye Chen."

Zhou Chen walked over slowly, as if taking a leisurely stroll, his gaze sweeping over Ye Chen.
