Ye Chen turned around and saw Little Purple and Monkey sticking their heads out of the long and narrow passage between the ice and fire arrays. The two of them had already returned to the size of their original bodies and looked very majestic. Coupled with this somewhat cute action, it was more or less a joke, making Ye Chen laugh uncontrollably.

“Master, it's about time,” Monkey shouted at him.

Little Purple retracted its head. Then, a gust of cold air spread out from the tunnel, causing Monkey to shiver.

Little Purple also felt comfortable after doing this. It stuck its head out and looked at Ye Chen, gathering its Spiritual Energy. The Titan's Eye on its forehead flickered with purple light. Then, it turned around and left the tunnel quickly. When Monkey, who was originally here to help, saw that its words had already been passed on, it immediately left as well.

This was because they had to ensure that Ye Chen, the messenger, could smoothly pass between the two arrays. Before breaking the array of the secret chamber, Little Purple and Monkey were in charge of cleaning up the Spirit Stones in the passageway and creating a huge hole in the middle. Then, Little Purple would attach the Ice Fire Armor to the surface of the hole and create an ice cave to prevent the Spirit Stones from growing out too quickly and hindering Ye Chen's movements.

The two of them started this work after Zhurong returned to the fire array. Now, they were just waiting for Ye Chen to open the Titan's Eye and start the countdown with Little Purple.

“Then go into the secret chamber,” Ye Chen said to Goulong.

He extended his hand and aimed it at Goulong's back. Then, he calculated the time and opened the switch for the Divine Descendant Body, choosing the skill of the Titan's Eye.

As the skill lit up, Ye Chen's eyes lit up slightly. In the illusionary mist, he could finally see what was inside clearly again.

The appearance of Goulong possessing the body of the leader of the Feather Dragons could be seen very clearly from the Titan's Eye. However, to his surprise, Ye Chen could also see the abnormality inside this body through the Titan's Eye.

Inside the body of the leader of the Feather Dragons, an empty Qi vein appeared from its sac. The Spiritual Energy inside did not belong to any type of Spiritual Energy that he had seen before. However, the color was similar to the wind attribute he had seen when he was looking at the proportion of Spiritual Energy in the Petrified Dragon Claw Grass.

This Qi vein had already spread out in the body of the leader of the Feather Dragons, forming a completely different circuit from its original circuit of Spiritual Energy.

However, this circuit did not have the tendency to forcefully change the structure of the original meridians. It was much gentler than the dangerous situation Ye Chen encountered when he was cleansing his blood.

This was undoubtedly the effect of the Dragon Claw Grass.

Ye Chen was watching it seriously when he heard Little Purple's voice.

“Master, has the sensory sharing succeeded?”

“It has already succeeded.”

Ye Chen immediately focused and received Little Purple's message.

From the image shared by Little Purple, a high protruding stone platform had already appeared on the ground of the fire array. It was light blue in color. It was probably made from some Spirit Stones that had been broken in the ice array. Little Purple had already used the Ice Fire Armor to strengthen the Spirit Stone platform so that they could support each other while absorbing its Water Spiritual Energy to strengthen themselves.

The Divine Beasts had already stood on the stone platform. There was also a protective shield made of the Ice Fire Armor there, leaving only a gap near the tunnel.

That was for Ye Chen. Now, he could let Little Purple stick its head out and half of its long body to observe Zhurong's situation in the secret chamber.

The gel in the fire array had already been removed and his vision was completely unaffected by the illusionary mist. Zhurong, who was using the Immortal Phoenix's body, stood in the middle and was looking up in the direction of the covered fragment of the Spirit Pool.

“Senior Zhurong, I'm starting the countdown.” It was still Little Purple's voice.

Zhurong nodded.

“Start preparing.” Ye Chen also told Goulong.

“Five—”

Zhurong took a step back while Goulong moved forward a little. At the same time, he tilted his head back to prevent his senses from being affected by the illusionary mist.

“Four—”

Little Purple shrank back a little. Ye Chen heard the sound of the Ice Fire Armor forming. It was probably Little Purple shrinking the gap in the Ice Fire Armor.

“Three—”

Zhurong had already raised one of its wings and its entire body was emitting golden light. This was the characteristic of the Immortal Phoenix's body. Before it activated its Spiritual Energy, the golden light on its body would be even more eye-catching. Goulong no longer made any unnecessary movements. It was obvious that it had already focused.

“Two—”

From the image transmitted by Little Purple, it had almost completely shrunk into the Ice Fire Armor. The voices of the other Divine Beasts were already in his ears. Zhurong was only left with a golden figure. Ye Chen had already activated his Extreme Speed Mystic Ability and was prepared to leave the ice array immediately.

“One!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhurong and Goulong had already mobilized their Spiritual Energy to activate their Mystic Abilities. The traps in the two secret chambers were instantly triggered. While Little Purple retracted into the Ice Fire Armor, Ye Chen also activated Extreme Speed and headed towards the ice cave that had already been opened. Before it was affected by the heat of the fire array, he rushed back into the Ice Fire Armor that Little Purple had prepared and plunged into Kun Peng's cold and soft feathers.

Little Purple quickly sealed the gap in the Ice Fire Armor.

The entire process didn't take more than five seconds.

Ye Chen pulled himself out of the feathers on Kun Peng's chest and observed his surroundings. The Ice Fire Armor's resistance was basically useless with the Titan's Eye.

He realized that he had thought too much.

When he asked Little Purple to use the Ice Fire Armor to create an ice cave, he was worried that the ice cave would be affected by Zhurong's Spiritual Energy and disappear faster. Although Little Purple's Ice Fire Armor had undergone the test of lava at the third level of the Ice Fire Beetle Mystic Realm, Zhurong hadn't awakened at that time so the attack power of the lava wasn't strong since it wasn't active enough. It wasn't wrong for him to be worried.

However, in reality, the ice on the other side of the ice array had already spread over and had already frozen another layer inside the ice cave before the lavlike Spiritual Energy in the trap covered the oval space of the fire array. Moreover, it had already invaded a portion of the main space of the fire array.

“After all, it turns out that what Goulong said is true. The Spiritual Energy on the ice array is so fast?” Ye Chen was stunned. “This is too fast. Am I going to be frozen half a second later?!”

Little Purple nodded at him.

Ye Chen continued to look outside the Ice Fire Armor. At this moment, the slow Fire Spiritual Energy in the fragment of Zhurong's Spirit Pool started to flow faster. It slowly passed through the Ice Fire Armor created by Little Purple and counterattacked the invading ice, slowly counterattacking and forcing it into the tunnel.

Little Purple calmly strengthened the Ice Fire Armor inside.

Ye Chen and the Divine Beasts waited quietly.

About ten seconds later, the surrounding golden-red Spiritual Energy started to dissipate, revealing the bare appearance of the fire array.

The Spirit Stones had already been completely melted. It would take a while for them to form again, but the two Spiritual Energies from before had already disappeared.

Little Purple removed the Ice Fire Armor.

The scene in front of him meant that the power of the traps had been temporarily exhausted and their effects had been offset.
