204: Chapter 203, Cabin 44

As time passed.

The Ancient Ship had been drifting in the Land of No Law, with no intention of docking.

"There's no way back. It seems I can only go aboard and take a look."

Ye Xiu's expression was grave. After the Star Emperor left, he truly had no sense of direction. In this Land of No Law, losing one's way after having gone so deep...

If not for the existence of this Ancient Ship...

He would likely be lost here forever.

However, this Ancient Ship was also strange; it had been followed for over a hundred years, yet it showed no sign of wanting to dock.

Another hundred years passed.

Ye Xiu sighed inwardly, "It seems I have to go aboard first. Continuing to follow like this isn't a solution."

His footsteps drew near.

He slowly entered the blood mist.

Sizzle...

An Ominous Power appeared within the blood mist, burning his body like flames.

"The power level isn't high, at most belonging to the King Realm."

Ye Xiu felt the Ominous Power within the blood mist; although the burning seemed terrifying, it didn't actually affect him.

Tap...

His foot landed.

He transmigrated the blood mist, his whole body landing on the ship's deck.

It was somewhat dim on the Ancient Ship.

Everything was shrouded in a dark red mist; even with Ye Xiu's vision, it was difficult to see through the mist and clearly discern the environment.

Tap, tap, tap...

As the sound of footsteps rang out...

He slowly walked toward the cabin area, and before he had gone far...

A faint 'woo woo...' sound echoed from within the cabin, as if some monster were hidden inside.

"I'll see what kind of thing is playing tricks here."

Ye Xiu gave a soft shout. Great Power surged within his body as he directly ignored the Ominous Power in the mist and forced his way toward the cabin.

Tap, tap, tap...

Following a series of rapid footsteps...

He quickly crossed the forward deck and reached the cabin area.

The mist here already carried a hint of black, and even the Rank of the Ominous Power had reached the Venerable Rank level.

Boom...

The first wooden door was violently kicked open.

Inside was a small room of a few square meters, quite ordinary, with nothing strange about it.

Ye Xiu scanned the room and then moved toward the next one.

Boom... Boom...

After kicking open seven in a row, he still saw nothing unusual.

Woo woo...

The originally faint whistling sound now seemed to ring right by his ear.

"Playing tricks."

Ye Xiu gave a soft shout, and Great Power erupted from his body. A Golden Radiance transformed into a Light of Death, blasting out in all directions.

But a strange scene appeared.

The radiance broke through the mist but failed to destroy anything inside the ship, not even leaving a single mark.

"The material of this ship is quite remarkable."

Amidst his surprise...

The wangquan sword appeared in his hand.

Clang...

The sound of a sword chime rang out.

Carrying Great Power, the blade slashed down fiercely toward the wood of the cabin.

Clang...

Sparks flew in all directions, dispersing much of the surrounding mist.

As the blade struck the wooden cabin, a piercing sound of metal clashing rang out.

"Interesting."

Holding the wangquan sword, Ye Xiu didn't try to destroy the cabin again and continued walking deeper into the cabin area.

There were over a hundred small rooms in this cabin area. The deeper he went, the more condensed the Ominous Power in the mist became, and the more powerful the corrosive force within it grew.

Tap, tap, tap...

His footsteps drew closer to the depths.

He kicked open the wooden doors one by one until he reached the 44th, where something unexpected happened.

This door wouldn't open!

No matter how much strength Ye Xiu put into his kick, he couldn't force open this wooden door.

Jie jie...

A strange laugh came from inside the door. It was as if some monster were hidden in Cabin No. 44, letting out a bizarre laugh just as Ye Xiu kicked the door.

"Heh... a living thing. That makes it easier."

Great Power erupted throughout his body, and the wangquan sword began to tremble, bursting with an extremely dazzling light.

At this moment, he struck with all his might.

The blade slashed down fiercely.

Boom...

The wooden door trembled, and a tiny crack appeared.

"It's working!"

Seeing that he could break it, Ye Xiu didn't care about anything else. He swung his sword rapidly, striking the No. 44 wooden door again and again.

With the continuous strikes...

The tiny crack in the No. 44 wooden door gradually widened.

Wisps of black mist drifted out from within, carrying a very thick intent of death.

Jie jie jie...

The strange laughter became increasingly piercing.

This No. 44 wooden door was like it was sealing some monster; as the crack on the door grew larger, the effect of the Seal gradually weakened.

"What the hell are you laughing at?"

Ye Xiu cursed and slashed down violently, carving a large opening directly through the crack.

Through the opening...

One could vaguely see some of the situation inside the cabin.

"Nothing? Or is it intentionally hiding in a blind spot?"

He frowned slightly.

He had no intention of stopping his destruction of the wooden door.

As the hacking continued, the No. 44 wooden door was eventually shattered completely.

A corpse?

Looking at the withered corpse in the corner of the room, the strange "jie jie" laughter was coming from it.

Ye Xiu was bold due to his high level of skill.

Ignoring the deathly aura in the room, he walked straight to the corpse, grabbed the withered body, and began to study it carefully.

It had been dead for countless years.

Its original power had completely dried up, and even its Origin power on this Ancient Ship had been worn away by the Ominous Power.

It was strange that this corpse could still let out such bizarre laughter.

Just as he had put down the corpse...

The withered corpse suddenly grabbed his arm, and a consciousness surged straight into his Sea of Consciousness.

"Heh... you've got something. You're actually not dead and even want to achieve Rebirth through Possession."

Ye Xiu sneered.

He immediately transformed into a state of consciousness and appeared within his own Sea of Consciousness.

"Heavenly Emperor Sutra!"

That consciousness formed the shape of a middle-aged man. Upon seeing the ancient rune of the Heavenly Emperor Sutra in Ye Xiu's Sea of Consciousness, a burning light flashed in his murky eyes.

It ignored everything else.

It rushed straight toward the ancient rune.

"Heh... you really know how to pick a treasure."

Ye Xiu sneered, stepped directly in front of the middle-aged man, and threw a punch.

The entire Sea of Consciousness flashed with a blinding light.

Crack...

The middle-aged man couldn't dodge and was directly shattered by the punch.

But he immediately reformed and continued to rush toward the ancient rune of the Heavenly Emperor Sutra.

"Seeking death."

Ye Xiu was furious.

Although he didn't know the exact deal with this middle-aged man, entering his Sea of Consciousness and trying to perform a Possession was purely an act of seeking death.

Boom...

The Sea of Consciousness trembled violently.

The Great Power formed from the Fusion of Immortal Power and the Power of Heaven and Earth entered the Sea of Consciousness at this moment, forcibly compressing the middle-aged man who had intruded.

Ah...

A scream rang out.

With the blessing of the Great Power within the Sea of Consciousness, a Golden Radiance immediately rose.

That hard-to-kill middle-aged man wailed in pain within the radiance, gradually dissolving as time passed.

Memories from the depths of the Soul were forcibly stripped away by Ye Xiu.

"To think you were an existence from the Boundary Sea; I truly underestimated you."

After Ye Xiu completely decomposed the middle-aged man's consciousness...

His mind finally returned to his body.
