321: Return, changes in the sea boundary, the Gate of Bones!

The Boundary Sea temporarily fell into a state of calm.

That was until over a month later.

Suddenly, ripples of space emerged in a certain region of the Boundary Sea.

Kong Wu Dao, who had been missing for nearly half a month, finally emerged successfully from the Other Shore Flower Sea.

"God Child Wudao!"

Almost the very instant he appeared, countless experts of the Boundary Sea sensed it.

They rushed over from all directions and landed before Kong Wu Dao.

"Greetings, God Child Wudao!"

Kong Wu Dao made no effort to conceal his aura.

The many experts of the Boundary Sea gazed at him with astonishment and suspicion.

It had been a mere month, yet Kong Wu Dao had already broken through to the Saint Realm Ninth Level, and was likely only a step away from becoming a Saint Lord!

A Saint Realm Ninth Level at the age of twenty!

Such an achievement, viewed across the entire history of the Myriad Domains of the Heavens, could be considered truly shocking!

The terrifying aura invisibly radiating from Kong Wu Dao's body even caused many older generation experts to tremble with palpitations!

While the Opportunity within the Other Shore Flower Sea might be described as terrifying and Heaven-Defying, for Kong Wu Dao to achieve such a major Breakthrough in such a short time was undoubtedly linked to his own Heaven-Defying talent!

Everyone was struck with shock.

It seemed that in this era... the Space-Time Forbidden Zone was about to produce yet another terrifying, peerless, Heaven-Defying figure!

Kong Wu Dao nodded slightly and said, "For the next few days, this God Child still needs to remain here for some time."

Upon hearing this, many of the Boundary Sea experts were momentarily stunned before quickly snapping back to reality.

They hurriedly crowded forward, their expressions filled with fawning and flattery.

"God Child, rest assured! The Senior had already specifically instructed us beforehand! My Ghost Snake Royal Clan has already prepared a palace for you; please, God Child, follow me!"

"God Child! My Nether Royal Clan has mobilized the strength of our entire clan to specially construct a new temple for you! Please come to my Nether Royal Clan!"

"Hmph! The first place God Child visited was my Yin Sha Royal Clan! We understand God Child's interests and hobbies best and can serve you better during this time!"

"..."

A scene that left countless creatures of the Boundary Sea dumbfounded unfolded.

These Heaven-Defying experts of the Boundary Sea were actually arguing fiercely with one another over whose clan Kong Wu Dao would visit!

Were these really the giants of the Boundary Sea they knew?

One could hardly blame these giants for their exaggerated behavior.

After all, the sheer, terrifying strength displayed earlier by the Fourteenth Ancestor had completely shocked them all.

Moreover, this young god, Kong Wu Dao, was well worth befriending.

If they could seize the Opportunity to latch onto the Space-Time Forbidden Zone—a pillar that reached the heavens—the benefits would be unimaginable!

...

After confirming his subsequent plans, Kong Wu Dao returned to the edge of the Boundary Sea and told Nangong Xinyue that she did not need to wait for him anymore and should go attend to her own affairs.

For certain special reasons, he needed to remain in the depths of the Boundary Sea for some time longer.

He also gave Nangong Xinyue some special cultivation resources unique to the Boundary Sea.

Nangong Xinyue did not ask many questions.

Moreover, since she had always understood Kong Wu Dao's personality, she left quite obediently.

After all, compared to childish displays of romance, she preferred to continue growing stronger—to become an existence not inferior to Kong Wu Dao.

Watching the back of Nangong Xinyue as she departed, Kong Wu Dao shook his head.

"This silly girl actually waited here for me for a full month."

However, what he did not know was that, in Nangong Xinyue's eyes, compared to the long, million-year span she had once spent waiting, a mere month was truly nothing at all.

...

Although the depths of the Boundary Sea were shrouded in special Law mists year-round, making it difficult for outsiders to peer through the white fog to see the specific situation within, the terrifying battle that had erupted earlier had aroused suspicion in many experts.

They secretly dispatched powerhouses to enter the Boundary Sea to investigate.

It was not just the Myriad Domains of the Heavens; the Extraterritorial Land on the other side of the Boundary Sea was equally curious and also sent powerhouses in to investigate.

However, having long anticipated all of this, Kong Wu Dao would naturally not sit idly by.

With ready-made manpower already at his disposal, he directly ordered the Boundary Sea experts to intercept and hunt down any other outside experts who sought to enter.

This situation caused countless Cultivators in the Myriad Domains of the Heavens to feel uneasy and sparked much discussion.

"The Boundary Sea seems very unsettled lately! A while ago, all the major forces sent out experts, and without exception, they all lost contact after entering the Boundary Sea!"

"There were even several powerful Emperor Realm experts who went deep inside, only to completely vanish without a trace!"

"Now that such a major mutation has occurred in the Boundary Sea, do you think Kong Wu Dao, who was the first to enter, might have already met with some misfortune?" someone asked curiously.

This remark immediately caused a sensation throughout the Myriad Domains of the Heavens.

Many people were inclined to believe that Kong Wu Dao had already met with misfortune in the depths of the Boundary Sea.

Otherwise, why would there be no sign of him after more than a month?

However, many old monsters scoffed at this.

If Kong Wu Dao had truly met with an accident in the Boundary Sea, given the operating style of the Space-Time Forbidden Zone, it wouldn't be a matter of simply leveling the entire Boundary Sea—turning it upside down would be a small feat!

As time passed, on this day, without any warning, a strange fluctuation suddenly emerged in several regions of the Boundary Sea.

It seemed as though an indescribable aura was slowly awakening from the deepest part of the Boundary Sea!

The Boundary Sea roared violently, and the Laws trembled and shuddered.

This suddenly appearing power even affected the countless worlds surrounding the Boundary Sea, causing hundreds of millions of stars to flicker, as if they were about to be extinguished at any moment!

"That is..."

The gazes of countless outside creatures were cast towards the Boundary Sea.

When they clearly saw the shocking scene, everyone's mind went completely blank.

Several regions of the Boundary Sea were actually gradually drying up, transforming into a vacuum zone!

The Boundary Sea, which was condensed from Soul Essence that existed beyond the Five Elements, and the Boundary River, which in theory would never dry up... had actually dried up in this era!

However, the shocking scene was far from over.

In the countless regions that had completely dried up, ancient, damaged gates were rising from the pitch-black silt.

These entire ancient gates were crafted from the skeletons of countless living beings.

Even though they had become decayed under the erosion of countless years, they still exuded astonishing divinity and oppressive force.

Even many Saint Realm Experts could hardly withstand it; once they rashly approached, their entire bodies would be completely blown apart by this terrifying power.

Initially, many curious Cultivators wanted to use powerful Divine Ability Spells to directly blast open these ancient gates to enter and explore what lay within.

Yet, even though they exhausted all their strength and used their Divine Abilities to attack, the seemingly fragile White Bone Gate remained completely unaffected.

Moreover, these Cultivators who had attacked suffered a backlash from some strange power.

Under the horrified gazes of countless experts, their Lifespan rapidly plummeted, and their life force withered at a speed visible to the naked eye!

In less than three breaths, right before the eyes of many, they turned into piles of dry bones!

They then merged to become part of the White Bone Gate!
