254: Chapter 254 Chaotic Immortal Bone, Life-or-Death Crisis

Within the Chaos Sea, a chaotic mist as heavy as mountains filled the entire world.

There was no distinction between up, down, left, or right here, nor any clear boundaries of time and space. As far as the eye could see, everything was a murky grey, as viscous as mercury that would not dissolve.

Every wisp of chaos qi seemed to contain the weight of a hundred thousand Primordial Divine Mountains.

"Rumble—!"

Violent chaotic air currents raged madly in the surroundings, squeezing and colliding with each other, producing deafening roars. If an ordinary expert of the Great Emperor Realm were to enter, they probably wouldn't last half a breath before their Physical Body was instantly crushed into a cloud of blood mist and even their Divine Soul was completely obliterated by this level of crushing force.

The Nine Tribulations Immortal Light sustained by Su Xuanchen was like a bright lamp in this murky grey world.

The immortal light transformed into an absolute defensive shield with a radius of ten zhang, firmly isolating the terrifying gravity and violent air currents of the outside world.

Inside the shield.

Ji Luanxi and Chang Xiyue snuggled closely by Su Xuanchen's side.

Even with the absolute protection of the immortal light, they still felt waves of palpitations and lingering fear as they watched the chaotic mist outside the light shield, which twisted madly as if it wanted to swallow everything.

"Husband, the environment of this Chaos Sea is simply too terrifying."

Ji Luanxi patted her high chest, her exquisite Face somewhat pale. She could clearly feel that without this layer of immortal light shield, given her current cultivation, she would be crushed into meat paste the moment she was exposed to the outside. It would be impossible to move even half a step here.

Chang Xiyue also took a deep breath, her cool eyes full of solemnity: "No wonder the Chaos Sea has been listed as a restricted zone for life since ancient times. A place like this, where even the Laws of Heaven and Earth do not exist, is simply not somewhere living beings can set foot."

Hearing this, a very casual smile curled at the corner of Su Xuanchen's mouth.

"Terrifying?"

Far from feeling any discomfort, he instead stretched lazily with great ease.

The moment Su Xuanchen stepped into this Chaos Sea, the long-hidden Chaos Immortal Bone within his body became extremely active, like a sponge that had been parched for countless years encountering a vast ocean!

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—!"

A very dull vibration of bones, like the sound of thunder, emanated from within Su Xuanchen's body.

Immediately afterward, a jaw-dropping phenomenon occurred.

Every pore on Su Xuanchen's body completely dilated at this moment. A terrifying devouring force erupted, centered on his Physical Body!

Boom!

Outside the immortal light shield, those mountain-heavy and incredibly violent chaos qi seemed to be drawn by some fatal attraction, surging madly towards Su Xuanchen.

This chaos qi even directly penetrated the obstruction of the Nine Tribulations Immortal Light, transforming into vortices of greyish-white air currents that were madly absorbed into his body through his pores like a whale swallowing water!

Su Xuanchen slightly closed his eyes, a look of extreme enjoyment appearing on his Face.

The chaos qi, which was enough to crush a True Immortal, not only failed to cause him any harm after entering his body but was instead instantly refined by the Chaos Immortal Bone, turning into the purest Origin power that madly nourished his entire body.

In this peril-filled Chaos Sea, Su Xuanchen was simply like a fish in water!

Outside the immortal light shield.

Gu Hongchen, who was struggling to lead the way ahead while enduring the terrifying gravity, inadvertently looked back and happened to see this scene.

"Hiss—!"

Gu Hongchen sucked in a cold breath, her beautiful eyes instantly widening into circles, her pupils undergoing a violent earthquake.

What did she just see?

The chaotic mist that even she, a True Immortal, had to exert all her strength to resist and feared being tainted by in the slightest was actually being madly absorbed by Su Xuanchen as if it were a tonic?!

"You... are you even human?!"

Gu Hongchen couldn't help but cry out in alarm, her voice tinged with an extreme shock that couldn't be hidden.

She only felt her scalp go numb. Looking at Su Xuanchen, who almost merged with the surrounding chaotic environment and was even continuously devouring chaos qi, her worldview was once again violently impacted.

"When others enter the Chaos Sea, it's a narrow escape from death, and they are trembling with fear. But you, it's as if you've returned to your hometown!"

Gu Hongchen complained madly in her heart, gritting her teeth.

But on second thought, this guy Su Xuanchen could even rub the Immortal King of the Dark Great Realm into the ground; it seemed perfectly reasonable for him to have a few more freakish Physiques or bones.

"Forget it, comparing myself to this freak is just looking for trouble."

Although Gu Hongchen was shocked once again, she had long since become accustomed to it. She could only sigh helplessly, forcibly withdraw her gaze, grit her teeth, and continue to try her best to adapt to this dangerous place.

As the group continued to go deeper, the scenery inside the Chaos Sea gradually appeared before their eyes.

This world was simply devastated to the extreme.

The ground beneath their feet was a deathly blackish-brown. The rocks here had been washed and squeezed by chaos qi for years; their hardness was definitely comparable to the top-tier refined iron and immortal gold of the outside world.

However.

Even such hard ground was currently shattered and fragmented.

The earth was covered with countless bottomless and terrifying ravines. Some ravines were millions of miles long and as wide as abysses, spanning across the world.

In some places, there were massive deep pits, with glass-like crystals remaining on the edges of the pits—the result of being melted by extreme heat and then resolidifying.

"These... are all traces left behind by the great war back then."

Gu Hongchen's voice became somewhat hoarse as she looked at the shocking scenes below.

She pointed to one of the million-mile-long ravines, her eyes full of awe: "Look at that ravine; it was clearly cleaved out by someone with a single sword strike! After countless eras, even the chaos qi here hasn't been able to obliterate that lingering Sword Intent!"

Even though the rocks here were as hard as refined iron, they were still violently destroyed like this. It was simply unimaginable just how terrifyingly incredible the battle that broke out here back then was.

Deadly silent, desolate, and broken.

This extremely oppressive environment kept Gu Hongchen's nerves constantly taut, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Not only did she have to distract herself by controlling the biluo emperor sword in her hand to guide the way, but she also had to constantly circulate the True Immortal mana in her body to resist the omnipresent terrifying gravity and the erosion of the chaos qi from the outside.

Sweat kept sliding down Gu Hongchen's smooth forehead.

Her breathing gradually became heavy, and the spiritual power in her body was rapidly being consumed due to this high-intensity, continuous resistance.

Inside the immortal light shield, Su Xuanchen watched Gu Hongchen outside, who was walking with difficulty and whose Face was becoming increasingly pale.

He raised an eyebrow and spoke with a casual tone of invitation: "Hey, Grand Elder Gu. You look as tired as a dog; how about coming in to rest for a while? My immortal light shield is very spacious; one more person won't make a difference."

Hearing this, Gu Hongchen's footsteps came to a sudden halt.

She turned her head and looked at the man inside the immortal light shield who was cuddling a beauty in each arm and looking as relaxed as if he were on vacation, then looked at her own sweaty and wretched appearance.

A strong sense of pride welled up from the bottom of her heart.

"I don't need your fake kindness!"

Gu Hongchen bit her silver teeth and very decisively declined Su Xuanchen's invitation.

"I am a core True Immortal of the Gu Family. If I can't even overcome this bit of harsh environment, wouldn't I be a laughingstock if word got out!"

She snorted coldly, reached out to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and forced herself to straighten her back.

"I can still hold on!"

Seeing this, Su Xuanchen shrugged indifferently.

"Suffering for the sake of Face," he muttered under his breath. Since the other party was unwilling, he naturally didn't force it anymore.

"Suit yourself then, just don't fall behind."

Su Xuanchen said no more and continued to lead the two women, following behind Gu Hongchen and moving steadily forward through the murky grey chaotic mist in the direction pointed by the tip of the biluo emperor sword.

Time lost its meaning in this Chaos Sea where there was no alternation of day and night.

It was unknown how long they had been flying.

Perhaps it was a few days, perhaps a few months.

The surroundings were always the same murky grey mist and the devastated, broken earth below.

This extremely monotonous, deadly silent, and oppressive environment was the easiest to wear down a person's will.

The long period of tedious flying caused everyone's spirits to gradually become lax.

Inside the immortal light shield, Ji Luanxi and Chang Xiyue had already sat down cross-legged, closing their eyes to rest.

As for Gu Hongchen outside the shield, her condition was extremely poor.

In order to control the biluo emperor sword and simultaneously divert most of her energy to resist the pressure of the environment, the True Immortal spiritual power in her body had long been mostly consumed.

At this moment, her Face was as pale as paper, her lips were parched, and her forehead was already covered in cold sweat.

Every time she waved her sleeve to disperse the chaotic mist ahead, it became extremely difficult for her. Her reaction speed and perception ability had also dropped significantly due to extreme fatigue.

Just then.

A sudden change occurred!

In the chaotic mist ahead, a very weak ripple appeared without any warning.

There was no sound of breaking air.

There was no warning of mana fluctuations.

Even the surrounding chaotic air currents did not undergo any abnormal changes.

A blackish-grey eerie stream of light silently broke through the thick chaotic mist!

This stream of light almost completely blended in with the color of the surrounding environment, making it hidden to the extreme. It was like a life-taking chain shot from the depths of Hell, carrying a purely icy killing intent, and it struck directly at Gu Hongchen's head at lightning speed!

Fast!

Too fast!

This speed simply exceeded the limit that a True Immortal could capture!

When Gu Hongchen, relying on her True Immortal instincts, was startled by the descent of that bone-chilling killing intent, that blackish-grey stream of light was already less than three feet from her brow!

"What is that?!"

Gu Hongchen's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpricks, and every hair on her body stood on end at this moment.

Her brain fell into a brief blank for an instant.

She wanted to dodge.

However, her exhausted body simply couldn't keep up with her brain's commands! It was already too late to dodge!

"Block it! Block it for me!"

Gu Hongchen roared madly in her heart.

She bit the tip of her tongue, trying to squeeze out the last bit of spiritual power remaining in her body to condense a Law shield in front of her.

However.

Even if she reacted instantly and wanted to activate her spiritual power to block, the lagging speed of her spiritual power circulation simply couldn't catch up with the terrifying speed of this stream of light, which was comparable to teleportation!

Before the shield could form, that blackish-grey stream of light had already torn through the outermost layer of her Protective Aura's defense.

An extremely cold wave of death, carrying an aura of absolute destruction, rushed towards her Face.

The aura of death instantly enveloped her completely. Gu Hongchen cried out in shock in her heart; she was already unable to avoid it.
