The clash between the emperors shook heaven and earth while the slaughter below was bloody and brutal. Neither was something Ye Chu could get involved in. He avoided them and searched frantically for the evil objects inside the Twin Fish Basin Valley. Ye Chu had no interest in their fight. He only hoped to find the evil object quickly and leave this troublesome place.
Ye Chu recalled the aura of the eight trigrams diagram and searched in the directions of Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen and Dui. His luck was neither good nor bad. In the Li direction he finally spotted signs of the evil object.
Li belonged to fire. As soon as Ye Chu stepped into this area he felt the scorching heat and sweat was baked out of him. He endured the high temperature and his gaze fell on the centre of Li. There was a stone mountain there. The stone mountain was not large but a burning flame plant grew within it.
The flame plant was entirely fire red and shaped like a tiger tail orchid. Its branches and leaves shot straight up like swords. The firelight flickered. No other creatures could survive around it. The aura that permeated from the firelight was violent and destructive and could wipe out life force.
“Flame Fire Evil.” Ye Chu recognised the evil object before him. The Flame Fire Evil was famous for its scorching heat. It could burn away the life force of living beings and was quite well known among evil objects. Once it invaded the body it would first burn a person’s life force then burn their physical body. Even kings would not dare to provoke this kind of evil object lightly.
Relying on his special physique Ye Chu walked forward and carefully dug out this evil plant. The underground heat continuously flowed into the Flame Fire Evil to supply it with essence and help it grow. After Ye Chu dug it away the surging heat sprayed into the empty air and turned into evil qi that infected the surroundings.
Evil qi was different from spiritual qi because evil qi could erase a person’s life force. If one could remove the life erasing power from the evil qi it would become a great tonic among cultivation resources.
However the attribute of the power was hard to change so the vast majority of cultivators feared evil qi like a tiger and it became a nightmare in cultivation.
This was just like eating pufferfish in his previous life. Pufferfish is highly poisonous but if one has the skill to cook and remove the poison it becomes an excellent delicacy. Evil qi was the same.
Evil spirit cultivators had the means to remove the poison while Ye Chu’s situation was even more special. He was immune to all poisons which was much better than evil spirit cultivators.
It was like eating the delicious pufferfish. Removing the poison would destroy some components but if one could resist the poison and survive one could fully preserve the original flavour.
Ye Chu put the Flame Fire Evil into a jade box and let out a light breath. He thought that although he had encountered the two troubles Bai Xin and Bai Rou on this trip it had gone fairly smoothly.
With the evil qi in hand he could find a place to refine it safely and his strength would definitely increase. Unfortunately he did not have the methods that evil spirit cultivators used to wield evil qi and could only use the most basic way to circulate it. Otherwise with refined techniques for using evil qi this would definitely greatly increase his own strength.
After taking the evil object he wanted Ye Chu had no intention of looking for anything else and prepared to leave this place.
But what Ye Chu did not expect was that once the evil object left the small stone mountain the mountain collapsed and pieces of green rock rolled down.
Ye Chu’s expression changed dramatically. His figure flashed quickly to dodge the rolling green rocks from the stone mountain.
The vibration here alerted the Ice Emperor. The Ice Emperor shot a cold gaze over and roared in complete fury. “You dare to touch the evil object. You are courting death.”
The Ice Emperor was furious. This evil object was the foundation of the stone mountain. It absorbed the underground heat which was why the stone mountain could stand firmly in the Twin Fish Valley. Now that it had been taken away the stone mountain began to fall apart like something lacking glue.
He did not care about the stone mountain collapsing but the problem was that the things inside would be exposed.
The Ice Emperor looked at the figure running below the stone mountain with eyes cold to the extreme. The cold light made the temperature around drop. Ye Chu felt immense chill on his back and moved even faster.
The Ice Emperor wanted to kill Ye Chu with a strike but he was still fighting the Fox Emperor and could not spare a hand.
“Ma Tie Wang take people and kill him.” The Ice Emperor was thoroughly enraged and ordered the old man who was fighting Bai Xin.
The Ice Emperor’s aura was imposing and his terrifying voice shook out. Many cultivators obeyed his command and pounced towards Ye Chu to kill him.
“Damn it.” Ye Chu cursed but he had no choice but to attack and kill them.
“Anyone who blocks me dies.” Ye Chu roared in anger. Terrifying power surged out. At this moment Ye Chu held nothing back. His power was like a fierce beast and surged endlessly.
This was the first time Ye Chu fully exploded with his own power. His true essence shook and true intent spread. It caused the void to tremble continuously with immense majestic aura sweeping out and instantly sent several cultivators flying.
Ye Chu’s powerful outburst made Bai Xin and Bai Rou glance at each other. Both saw the shock in the other’s eyes. It had not been long since they left Ye Chu yet his strength had grown to this level.
The surging spiritual qi that was almost solid was enough to tell them how powerful the energy in Ye Chu’s qi sea was.
The Axe King was the most shocked. When he fought Ye Chu before Ye Chu was only at the primordial spirit realm. Although he could fight him with secret techniques his own strength was actually very limited.
But now he had not only stepped into the profound life realm but his power surged like rivers. The Axe King knew Ye Chu could not have reached the profound life realm for long. To burst out with such power right after reaching it what kind of transformation had he gone through?
The Axe King saw that profound life realm cultivators were not even a match for Ye Chu in one exchange and were easily killed. He slaughtered his way forward with the might of a divine being.
“I see the bearing of a prodigy.” The Twin Swords King had met Ye Chu once before. At this moment he could not help but exclaim as he watched Ye Chu. This explosive strength was far stronger than his own son the Little Sword King whom he was so proud of.
The old man called Ma Tie Wang saw this and shouted loudly. “Profound life realm below the third layer are not his opponents. Fifth layer and above go and kill him.”
These words made the Axe King’s heart shake even more. He had just stepped into the profound life realm yet he could already compare with cultivators above the fourth layer. This definitely allowed him to contend with prodigies.
“This guy could fight me with secret techniques before but he did not show any prodigy bearing.” The Axe King cursed. If he were not held back by Bai Xin and Bai Rou he would have gone up to fight Ye Chu again.
Killing someone comparable to a prodigy would feel very satisfying.
“Get out of the way.” Ye Chu attacked and killed several cultivators as he tried to break out of the encirclement.
But there were too many enemy cultivators. After killing the weak ones stronger ones came. This made Ye Chu’s scalp go numb.
“Two sisters how about we join forces to kill these cultivators?” Ye Chu shouted across the air to Bai Xin and Bai Rou in an extremely affectionate tone completely forgetting how he had fled from them earlier.
“Little brother Ye Chu use the courage you had when peeking at the water pool and kill them.” Bai Xin and Bai Rou remained unmoved and giggled at Ye Chu. They had no intention of helping him at all. Instead they drove the nearby fox group to let many cultivators go so they could free up their hands to kill Ye Chu.
Bai Xin and Bai Rou wished Ye Chu would die. They guessed that the madman would not dare to kill him easily but if the Ice Emperor’s subordinates killed him then it would have nothing to do with them.
