Chapter 1877 - Realm Sea
The black ancient ship was extremely large, rising and falling in the sea. Sometimes, it would be sent high into the air by sky reaching waves, but it just refused to be destroyed.
One had to understand that this was the Realm Sea, not even true immortals able to smoothly cross it. Shi Hao already saw undying existences dying in the sea with his own eyes, unable to cross.
Every single wave seemed to contain a ruined ancient world!
That black ancient ship could move through the sea, undamaged. It really was extraordinary.
Of course, the most important thing was that it was extremely familiar!
The malevolent giant ship gave everyone a feeling of pressure, the black color terrifying. He immediately realized why he felt this way, it was too similar to the blood-soaked black ancient ship in the void.
“It’s similar to that ship, could they be from the same place?” Shi Hao was suspicious.
When one moved through the void, the most terrifying thing was seeing that blood dyed black ancient ship, primal chaos palace, and other things. There was more than one of these ancient ships? Shi Hao was stunned, greatly shaken up.
That ship was special, there should only be a single blood dyed black ancient ship that moves aimlessly through the void.
However, there was another one that was similar in this Realm Sea.
“There really is more than one!” Shi Hao cried out in shock. It was because his supreme Heavenly Eyes saw another ship that was damaged, drifting even further out.
That ship was extremely large, looking like a star. Unfortunately, it was destroyed. One could vaguely see that there were corpses hanging from that ship, the remains of the most powerful beings.
Why was it like this? Shi Hao frowned.
Soon afterwards, he recalled some things.
“There are creatures coming out alive from the sea!”
Shi Hao realized that apart from the restricted region lord, there were other creatures who came out alive. The blood dyed black ancient ship was most likely the ‘carriage’.
What creatures came out during that age? There was no way for him to find out!
As the waves rose and fell, as the years passed, Shi Hao personally saw some creatures die in this sea.
When he carefully counted them up, the number of living creatures wasn’t high. It was hard to cross the sea, most of them were corpses. They were of all different species, some humanoid, some he had never heard of or seen before.
For example, he saw a creature that had the head of a golden lion, incredibly majestic, as if it was a great ruler, but it had a long dragon body, as well as spider-like long legs.
“En?” Half a year later, Shi Hao made a new discovery, seeing a great tomb floating in the sea, faintly discernible.
Why was this the case? Shi Hao really was stunned. That ancient tomb looked familiar. It rose and fell in the sea, closing in, drifting towards this side of the ocean.
A great tomb was being used to cross the ocean, cross this Realm Sea, to reach this shore?!
It was clear that the speed of the great tomb was definitely not below the other creatures’, it might even reach the shore first.
“It looks too similar to the Three Thousand Dao Provinces Fiend Island’s Immortal Tomb!” Shi Hao was stunned.
He carefully examined it, making sure that he wasn’t seeing incorrectly. Apart from this tomb not carrying his grandfather and A’man, the other parts were exactly the same.
One had to understand that he went to that place more than once, the impression this Immortal Tomb left him with was too deep, firmly engraved in the depths of his memories, yet now, it actually appeared in the Realm Sea.
“Could it be that this Immortal Tomb represents a certain creature, or a clan, their emblem?”
Shi Hao frowned. The more he thought about it, the more he felt like this was a possibility.
Then, he looked into the sea, seeing a massive humanoid being standing on an island, not moving at all. What did this represent?
He turned around, looking towards another area of the sea. There was an unrivaled, powerful creature who held a blood -olored lantern, moving through the sea. Did this symbolize another powerful being?
After more than a decade of observation, Shi Hao also received the tempering of Realm Sea’s power.
It was because in the sea, there were ripples that came out. Normal people couldn’t tell, it was completely formless, but at Shi Hao’s cultivation level, he could sense it. It was as if divine light swept out.
Even though he was sitting, not making any other movements, only looking towards the sea, he had always been resisting these ripples, enduring tremendous pressure.
Being able to sit here for a long time was a type of tempering in itself!
As Shi Hao watched this Realm Sea, his mind was truly attacked. Could it be that some members of the great showdown were arriving through the sea?
Right, he suddenly realized. This was the Realm Sea, the name itself containing true meanings. This should be the case!
Great era after great era, they didn’t belong to the same time. The unrivaled creatures who overlooked the long river of time were all going to appear, there was going to be a battle sooner or later!
Only, who could cross this sea and arrive at this shore first?
Moreover, back then, why did they enter this sea, rush in like ducks? Doing so would clearly most likely result in death, what did they obtain in return by doing this?
From the past until now, there were immortal dao experts who wanted to head into the sea, and now, there were creatures who wanted to cross the sea and come back?
Shi Hao sat there just like that, not moving, observing the great sea, staring at the waves. In the blink of an eye, thirty years passed. During this period, he personally saw some of these creatures, who weren’t that many to begin with destroyed in the sea.
He saw undying experts die, falling into the sea. They were no different from ordinary mortals, unable to fly.
Shi Hao noticed that the Immortal Tomb didn’t sink, still getting closer.
He really was shocked. Just how vast was this Realm Sea? So many years passed, yet the creatures who survived were still too far away from shore.
“There are some separated by the distance of many ruined ancient realms, while some are likely separated by one or two great eras…” Shi Hao said quietly.
The great sea was endlessly, surging crazily, but everything was stopped by this dam. That sea couldn’t cross over at all.
After thirty years passed, Shi Hao advanced further, starting to absorb this sea’s ‘mist’, using it to wrap it around himself, carry out a baptism, using this type of method to cultivate the dao.
This result was effective after all, but it was also rather cruel.
Shi Hao knew why even when undying beings and true immortals moved through the sea, they still might die at any time.
What he experienced was merely the ‘mist’, yet he still almost died several times. It dissolved tangible matter, corroded the primordial spirit, made one’s body and spirit melt into the dao laws of heaven and earth.
This Realm Sea was too extraordinary!
It broke down one’s body and spirit, turning them into natural laws, spiritual essence, and other things, making them die without a proper corpse to bury.
Shi Hao released a sigh. There were several times where his body was almost destroyed, but he still made it through in the end. He sensed how terrifying this Realm Sea was, it really was a good place for forging an unmatched body.
This was, of course on the premise that one could live, that this didn’t become one’s own burial ground.
Shi Hao got up. Thirty years had passed, he wanted to see how Mu Qing, Heavenly Horned Ant, and the others were doing.
During these thirty years, his own gains weren’t small. At the very least, his flesh became as tough as Immortal Gold, his primordial spirit becoming sparkling, as if undying. This was the result of the baptism.
His dao skills didn’t change, he still couldn’t break through into immortality!
This left Shi Hao regretful. He released a light sigh. However, soon afterwards, he no longer felt depressed. Just how old was he, how much time had he cultivated for? His cultivation time was still too short in the end.
In the Nine Heavens Ten Eraths, there had never been a supreme being under five hundred years old, so there was even less of a chance of a true immortal being under this age.
Lightning flashed and thunder rolled in the lightning abyss. Dragons cried and tigers howled, this place was extraordinary.
Shi Hao stood still, he couldn’t help but feel shocked. In the sea of thunder, there were several true dragons moving about, fighting viciously.
He was stunned. It was actually the three Lightning Spirits facing the crimson dragon.
This left him extremely shocked. The Lightning Spirits’ evolution was actually this fierce, now having dragon appearances, looking strong and thick.
“No, they only look that large, these aren’t their true bodies.” Shi Hao said to himself. If the lightning spirits really were that large, just how terrifying would they become?
These things, normally speaking, with just the length of an arm, they were already exceptionally strong!
Sure enough, after three light sou sou noises, as Shi Hao approached, the three Lightning Spirits revealed their original bodies. They were all a foot or so in length, entire bodies flickering with cold light, appearing before Shi Hao.
“It seems like you three really did obtain quite the benefits.” Shi Hao said with a sigh. It was merely three decades, yet the Lightning Spirits grew so much. This was a place of great natural luck after all.
“If we really were to fight to the death, a single arm of mine could crush them all to death!” The crimson dragon said.
“Your cultivation realm is higher than theirs, of course you can do it.” Shi Hao tapped his forehead.
“In the future, they can still become stronger. Two years ago, the three Lightning Spirits ate a lightning pool.” Mu Qing said. He was a bit jealous. Who could obtain the most benefits here? It was obviously the Lightning Spirits!
That lightning pool was picked up nearby, unknown what era it was left behind from. It wasn’t one of the ones floating in the lightning.
There was even Lightning Tribulation Liquid at the very bottom of the lightning abyss.
They devoured lightning, even dared to eat lightning pools!
After having a taste of this, they previously attacked other lightning pools. Some lightning pools were extremely astonishing, carrying immortal energy, and then turned into immortal light, scattering down. They were too rash, causing a huge disaster!
That time, everyone captured a lightning pool. It actually released immortal energy, almost wiping them all out here.
Not far out, a butterfly fluttered its wings. With a move of its golden wings, lightning surged boundlessly, the scene horrifying!
This butterfly’s strength was also astonishing now. Even though it looked beautiful and gentle, when it really did move its wings, it tore through everything in its way. After experiencing the lightning abyss’ baptism, it became increasingly terrifying.
On the other side, the Heavenly Horned Ant sat down. It ingested some Lightning Tribulation Liquid, bathed in the sea of lightning, not moving at all. It was currently comprehending the dao, allowing the lightning to hack its body.
Many streaks of electricity entered its body, but it was absorbed just like the Lightning Tribulation Liquid.
What kind of situation was this? Shi Hao was stunned.
“He is just like me, using this chance to make up for his inherent weaknesses!” The crimson dragon said.
The descendants of the Vicious Ten, like the Heavenly Horned Ant, crimson dragon, and others nearly went extinct, their offspring almost dying while still fetuses. It was because they were harmed when they were still in their eggs.
It could be said that they were still rather lucky. Their parents used tremendous magical force to replenish their essence, allowing them to live, smoothly emerge in the world.
Even though they seemed to be fine, in reality, they were still innately deficient.
This sea of lightning was rather special, possessing violent destructive energy, but what was within it was also the most basic life energy, able to heal their natural wounds.
On the other side, Cao Yusheng was sometimes stupid, in a daze, sometimes crazy and deranged. He sat next to the lightning abyss, in his hands a broken lightning pool fragment.
That was the bottom of the lightning pool, right now being studied in his hands. The expression in his eyes was sometimes crazy, sometimes sluggish, his mood rising and falling intensely.
“This lightning pool naturally contains formations. If I really want to completely understand it, then I’ll most likely have to understand the mysteries of life and death, the obscureness of long life!” He screamed strangely.
Shi Hao was shocked. That was a fragment left behind after the Lightning Spirits had their meal. He went over to take a look at it, discovering that there really were great dao patterns, natural formation patterns.
“Gather and absorb life energy, while amidst destruction, in lightning tribulation, refine the profound mysteries of life and death, gather essence, produce Lightning Tribulation Liquid.” Cao Yusheng muttered.
Shi Hao entered the lightning abyss, putting this directly into practice. In the end, he endured the hacking of the lightning, bathed in endless lightning radiance, seizing a lightning pool.
This was another experience of cultivation. Even though it was bitter and painful, the benefits were too great! He was forging the body!
In the end, Shi Hao drank some Lightning Tribulation Liquid, and then gifted the rest of it to the three Lightning Spirits. He then once again left this place to cultivate alone.
