586: Arrived at the Nether Sea, the remains of the ancient monks
Buzz!
The Void Realm trembled.
A giant golden boat, glowing with light, emerged from a vortex.
On the golden boat stood four figures: Chu Jiang, Old Ten, the Great Clan Elder of the Ferryman, and the Nine Nether Saint.
Chu Jiang looked around; as far as his eyes could see, there was a vast, boundless ocean, with ceaseless waves, the sea was pitch black and unfathomably deep.
On the surface of the sea, there were also clusters of mist, this eerie mist could suppress both magical power and Divine Sense.
However, the Physical Body was less affected.
Hiss…
The Nine Nether Saint exclaimed, “The Spiritual Qi here is twice as high as outside; it truly lives up to its name as the core of the Nether Abyss.”
Chu Jiang naturally noticed that not only was the Spiritual Qi abundant here, but although the Law was still incomplete, it was two to three tenths more complete than in the outside world.
Bang!
Splash!
The Due Golden Boat landed in the Nether Sea, as stable as a mountain; the surrounding waves crashed against the golden boat without causing it to shake in the slightest.
At the same time.
Around them, two Due Sub-Boats appeared, also landing in the Nether Sea.
One carried a blue-robed elder wearing a Ghost Face Mask (ghost-faced mask), with fifteen people on board: three Rongtian Cultivators and twelve Heaven and Earth Realm Cultivators.
The other carried a silver-robed elder, with seven or eight people on board.
Chu Jiang looked over; the identity of the person with the ghost-faced mask was unknown.
But the silver-robed elder was none other than the great Loose Cultivator of the Nether Abyss’s other shore, Moyun Sanren.
Although he was only at Rongtian Level Seven, he possessed a demon cloud vine that was cultivated to be nearly Huatian Level, with incredibly vigorous vitality.
As for the other seven boats, they did not appear within the range of Chu Jiang’s Divine Sense.
Entry into the Nether Sea was mostly by random teleportation.
Having a few boats in one area was already an event of extreme Luck.
The Due Golden Boat had Void Realm maps engraved on it, which would constantly record the navigation route, allowing for a return along the original path.
“This is the Nether Sea? Didn’t they say there were Treasure Troves everywhere? Where are they…”
“Such dense Heaven and Earth energy! If I could stay here indefinitely, this old man might even have a chance to Breakthrough to the Rongtian in his lifetime.”
“Don’t dream. Ancient texts record that the Nether Sea has several major taboos. Every three months, the Black Yin Wind will blow, strong enough to tear apart ninety percent of Rongtian Cultivators; without a Transformation Heaven Realm Physical Body, death is certain.”
On the ghost-faced elder’s Due Sub-Boats, several powerful Cultivators exchanged words.
“Within the Nether Sea, there are some floating islands scattered about, which might contain some remaining Treasure Troves of ancient Cultivators.”
“Senior Kumoku, where should we go next?”
A young Cultivator looked at the ghost-faced elder steering the boat.
Kumoku was the elder’s name.
“Everyone, my ancestor once coincidentally obtained the coordinates of a large floating island, which contains the Legacy Treasure Trove of a Reaching Heaven Realm mighty expert.”
“If you are interested, you can explore it with this old man.”
“Of course, all of you have paid. If you do not wish to go, when we encounter a floating island, this old man will leave you there and, after returning, will escort you out of the Nether Sea. How does that sound?”
Kumoku said with a smile.
“To be frank, everyone, that floating island still holds some dangers, so please consider carefully.”
“Senior Kumoku, we are completely clueless about this Nether Sea anyway. Since your ancestor has been here before, it’s good for us to go together for mutual support.”
The Cultivators on the boat responded, and not a single person chose to leave.
Now that the Due Sub-Boats was in Kumoku’s hands, who knew if he would return after leaving them? If he forgot them there…
When that Black Yin Wind blew, wouldn’t they surely die?
Moreover, those who sold tickets were mostly Loose Cultivators, who simply did not have the financial means to purchase a Due Sub-Boats.
Their understanding of the Nether Sea was even less than that of someone like Kumoku, whose ancestors had visited.
Kumoku nodded in satisfaction, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes inadvertently.
Suddenly.
From within the Nether Sea, a surge of waves rolled, and blood-red bubbles emerged.
Plop!
Splash, splash, splash!
Skulls emerged from the Nether Sea, breaking through the water. There were large numbers of humanoid skeletons, as well as giant beast skeletons. Some skeleton people rode flying bone horses, treading on flames… all rushing towards the three Due Sub-Boats.
Red light glowed in their eye sockets.
“Not good, these are the remains of ancient Cultivators who slumbered in the Nether Sea.”
Moyun Sanren’s face changed. These people had died countless years ago, but their bones, soaked in the Nether Sea, underwent unknown changes. Although they had no magical power, their bodies were indestructible and extremely troublesome.
“Zheng—”
A humanoid skeleton, walking on water, dragged a long saber and approached the Due Sub-Boats where Moyun Sanren was, striking down with a single slash, its blade light illuminating the world.
“Attack together!”
Moyun Sanren roared.
Rumble!
Everyone on the boat unleashed their martial arts, various killing moves deployed simultaneously.
This skeleton was struck down, sinking back into the Nether Sea.
However, there were not just a few of these skeletons; some giant beast skeletons were larger than the entire boat, giving off an immense sense of oppression.
Chu Jiang’s Due Golden Boat also encountered an attack from blood skeletons, with a scale several times larger than the other two boats.
But they were all swept away by Old Ten.
A two-meter-tall humanoid skeleton, wielding a blood-colored bone spear, directly thrust it fiercely at Old Ten.
It struck Old Ten’s body, instantly sending sparks flying, but his entire body was forged like divine iron, leaving not even a trace.
Clang, clang, clang!
This skeleton attacked like a furious storm, each spear seeming to pierce through the Void Realm, but it simply couldn’t break through his defenses.
Swish!
Another avian skeleton swiftly flew, aiming to cut Old Ten’s Physical Body, but it was shattered into several pieces by Old Ten’s palm.
For a time, over a dozen giant beast skeletons simultaneously came to besiege him, various sharp claws, broken swords, battle sabers, and meteor hammers all striking Old Ten at once.
“Die for me!”
Old Ten soared high, standing in the sky, the golden iron feathers on his wings shedding like peerless sharp swords, all piercing towards the group of giant beast skeletons.
Crack!
The dozen giant beast skeletons that were besieging him were instantly disintegrated and cut apart.
The Cultivators on the other two Due Sub-Boats saw Old Ten endure such swift attacks without any injury, instead easily slicing through the skeletons like cutting vegetables.
As for Chu Jiang, he was even more exaggerated.
Any skeleton that approached him was directly shattered into pieces by a single palm, turning into dust.
He was simply monstrous, not human.
Although the Nether Abyss had changed, Nine Nether, as the Saint of the Ferryman, controlled the Due Golden Boat with ease, receiving a huge bonus, and its speed soared, quickly exceeding the speed of sound.
“Fellow Daoist Chu, please help us repel these skeletons. Afterwards, we can explore that large floating island together, how about it?”
Kumoku asked.
“No interest!”
Chu Jiang stood with his hands behind his back, responding indifferently. He had his own mission, to find the blood of the god slayer, and had no time for other things.
Even if he were to go, it would only be after obtaining the blood of the god slayer first. Moreover, the information about the Nether Sea that King Guang of Qin gave him was left by the Great Chu’s First Old Ancestor, making it far more valuable than Kumoku’s.
“Damn it!”
Kumoku cursed under his breath.
However.
This fellow didn’t even care for the Legacy of a Reaching Heaven Realm mighty expert, he must have coordinates of higher value than his. Unfortunately, the Due Golden Boat, as the main boat, was too fast.
He simply couldn’t catch up.
He would use these ants for a blood sacrifice to awaken the Demon King, and then he would seek out this Chu Jiang.
After escaping the pursuit of the skeletons, Chu Jiang entered the coordinates into the Due Golden Boat, heading directly towards the location where the blood of the god slayer was stored.
Soon, he disappeared into the ends of the world.
