Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 592 - 566: Eternal Mystery_1
The Boundless Sea!
Located to the south of the world, it was a sea within a sea, with no specific location; one only needed to fly south continually to reach it.
After leaving the Imperial Capital, Qin Wudao piloted his warship. He spent two days crossing the East Border, the Middle Region, and the South Territory, then continued southward, venturing into a vast and boundless azure sea.
"Such rich spiritual energy!"
Standing on the warship’s deck, Qin Wudao looked around, astounded by the scene before him.
Looking into the distance, towering white waves tumbled from the horizon. They resembled a roaring tiger, surging powerfully and stirring up raging torrents. Wave after wave rolled in, from far to near. The closer they came, the higher they rose; the higher they rose, the louder they crashed. Their might was like ten thousand bolts of thunder, their momentum like a galloping herd—truly spectacular.
The most astonishing part was the particularly concentrated spiritual energy on the ocean’s surface. It formed a spiritual fog that transformed into various shapes with the rolling sea waves.
If there are creatures beneath the sea, they would be formidable rivals for the mainland! Qin Wudao thought with a smile.
Previously, he had believed that the harsh living conditions in the ocean prevented any species from existing there. Now, however, it seemed he was mistaken. The spiritual energy within the sea was no weaker than that on the mainland. It was merely that the spiritual energy in the waters near the continent was comparatively more diluted.
"Ha, there’s much you don’t know!"
"Before the Primordial Era, the Primeval Continent was called the Continent of the Sea God. The entire world was under the rule of the Sea Clan, who enslaved all races living on land!"
"At that time, both the demon and human clans were enslaved..."
Hearing Qin Wudao’s words, Jade Noble laughed heartily and began to explain. Thanks to the inheritance from Immortality Mountain, he knew many secrets unknown to the world, much like a living encyclopedia.
"So that’s how it was!" Qin Wudao expressed his astonishment after listening.
And when he looked at the vast sea again, it was as if he beheld a brilliant civilization standing in its depths. The surging waves, one after another, seemed like countless Sea Clan soldiers riding the currents, their overwhelming aura suppressing all defiant clans in the world. These soldiers included Prawn and Crab Generals wielding tridents, sea turtles as large as islands, and sharks with blood-red eyes...
At the head of these forces coiled a ten-thousand-foot sea dragon. Its azure-blue scales reflected a dazzling light under the combined refraction of sunlight and seawater.
"What’s the matter?" Seeing Qin Wudao staring at the sea without speaking, Jade Noble asked.
"Nothing! I was just lamenting how times change. The former rulers of the world have vanished without a trace. I wonder if any descendants remain!" Qin Wudao waved his hand, his tone slightly heavy.
"There probably aren’t any left. After all, so much time has passed!" Jade Noble shook his head. With his hands clasped behind his back, he leisurely walked back into the cabin to rest.
Was everything I just saw an illusion? Leaving Qin Wudao alone on deck, staring at the vast sea, his mind filled with doubts.
In the following days, the journey was calm. Qin Wudao occasionally went to the deck to look at the sea, but no further unusual occurrences were noted.
「 」
He’s about to break through!
In the Forbidden Land of the Eternal Temple, ’Calamity’ had completely absorbed the resentment. He looked at Soul Heaven Emperor within the Soul Swallowing Immortal Array and nodded lightly.
A terrifying aura erupted from Soul Heaven Emperor’s body, carrying threads of immortal power that pervaded the sky.
On the ground, only a few dozen generals above the Great Emperor Realm still clung to life, their breathing faint as they awaited death. More common were the scattered bones covering the vast land. The faces of the dead were twisted in terror, their eyes wide open, unblinking even in death. Their clenched fists spoke of the endless torment they had suffered before dying.
BOOM!
Suddenly, a blood-red beam of light burst from Soul Heaven Emperor’s body, shot directly towards the heavens, and dyed the sky red. The Void exploded, sending out a wave of spatial cracks that spread like a spider’s web across the sky of the Forbidden Land’s mustard seed world.
"Break!" Soul Heaven Emperor roared, his eyes opening to reveal a radiant, blood-red light as he looked up to the sky.
An even more terrifying suction force erupted from his body, devouring all the flesh and blood essence of the remaining dozens of Great Emperor Realm generals.
Then, auspicious light descended from the heavens, golden lotuses bloomed and fell to earth, and thousands of divine beasts galloped... The myriad celestial phenomena indicated that he had broken through to the Semi-Immortal Realm!
Such powerful strength! Soul Heaven Emperor stood up, sensing the spiritual energy within him had transformed into immortal power. He grinned widely, his agitated heart taking a long time to calm.
After a moment, he calmed down. He walked over to ’Calamity,’ knelt on both knees, and said, "Thank you, Master, for granting me this new life!"
"Stand up. You’ve earned this," ’Calamity’ said with a faint smile. He looked up at the sky, noticed the dark clouds gathering, and warned in a deep voice, "When the heavenly tribulation descends, it will temper your body, pushing it to the limit of the Semi-Immortal Realm, enabling you to defeat Jade Noble. You absolutely must *not* resist it!"
"Understood!" Hearing that he could defeat Jade Noble, Soul Heaven Emperor was secretly overjoyed and sneered.
Jade Noble! My old friend! You never imagined I, too, would break through to the Semi-Immortal Realm, did you!
"The next time we meet will be the day you die!" Soul Heaven Emperor declared firmly. He then tore open the Void at will, constructing a spatial passage to leave the mustard seed world.
This was the terrifying aspect of wielding immortal power; even a mustard seed world, dependent on the main world, could be torn apart as easily as a fragile sheet of paper.
In the next instant, Soul Heaven Emperor appeared in the sky above the Middle Region. A terrifying pressure spread out, sweeping across the entire Middle Region continent. The surging immortal power made billions of living beings tremble in fear, becoming as silent as cicadas in winter. Even the ancestors of the Sacred Lands shivered with fear, utterly horrified.
Soon, thunderclouds spanning thousands of miles gathered. Thunder rumbled, and countless heavenly bolts of lightning struck Soul Heaven Emperor, only to transform into pure energy and vanish completely.
Soul Heaven Emperor has broken through! Zhuge Liang thought, gazing westward from the East Border where he was handling administrative affairs. A hint of worry touched his eyes. I hope His Majesty finds the last Dao seal soon!
Then, as he watched the heavenly tribulation tempering Soul Heaven Emperor’s body, a bone-chilling killing intent glinted in his eyes.
What a double-standard heavenly tribulation!
「 」
"Huh?"
On the Boundless Sea, Jade Noble, who was sunbathing on the deck, suddenly turned his head to look north, an expression of disgust on his face.
Inside the cabin, Cao Cao, who had been cultivating with his eyes closed, silently opened them. He gazed towards the Middle Region, a frigid killing intent flashing in his eyes, instantly freezing the sea for dozens of miles around.
He actually broke through? Jade Noble was somewhat vexed. Didn’t Soul Heaven Emperor destroy his own foundation? How could he still break through to the Semi-Immortal Realm?
Qin Wudao, having received Cao Cao’s telepathic message, speculated, It must have been the work of the Great Dao or ’Calamity.’ It’s not difficult for beings like them to help someone achieve a breakthrough.
Soul Heaven Emperor’s breakthrough had once again evened the odds between the two factions. A fierce battle was likely to follow. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"Uncle, how much longer until we reach the center of the Boundless Sea?" Qin Wudao asked.
"At our current speed, it will take another two days," Jade Noble replied after a quick mental calculation.
Qin Wudao nodded, gaining a new appreciation for the sheer vastness of the Primeval Continent. The warship beneath their feet, forged by Gan Jiang Mo Ye and enhanced with various Formations, possessed the maximum speed of the Ten-thousand-year Emperor Realm. Even so, they still had to fly for seven days to reach the center of the Boundless Sea.
And reaching the center of the Boundless Sea meant they had only traversed half of its total expanse.
