The blood-colored sea, the boats made of bones. Each boat could only contain one person.
Qin Wentian stepped onto a bone boat with no hesitation. Jun Mengchen and Qi Yu also had determined expressions as they stood on his left and right, standing on the bone boats respectively. After that, the three of them floated into the blood sea.
Blood as the sea, bones as boats. Qin Wentian was thinking if this sea was formed from the blood of a supreme expert and the boats here…could they be constructed from the supreme expert’s bones?
If it is so, what sort of place is the Heaven Vault exactly?
A suppressive aura permeated the atmosphere. Qin Wentian’s bone boat slowly floated into the horizon. The number of experts proceeding gradually increased, influencing the others who were still watching.
Heaven’s Son Qin Dangtian, Reverend Seven Abstinences, Lin Xiao. Which of them isn’t a heaven chosen that radiated magnificence? All of them were willing to take the risk and for many people here, they originally were already inferior to these supreme characters. Since those supreme characters dared to risk it, why wouldn’t they dare?
Even the mystical maiden from the Nine Heavens Mystic Palace, and the number one beauty of the Heaven Region Goddess Nichang, both of them also proceeded. What reason did the others have to shrink back in cowardice?
Upon thinking of this, more and more people stepped upon a bone boat. Naturally, there were still many who were hesitating. After all, there were many people here. Experts from the eight regions in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms all gathered here for the opening of the Heaven Vault.
At this moment within the crowd, a white-robed figure stepped forward, exuding an air of elegance and carefreeness. He was handsome and extraordinary, everywhere he passed by, the people there were stunned by his aura and involuntarily opened up a pathway for him. He gave everyone an unfathomable feeling. How could this be? Their cultivation bases were at the world overlord realm after all, they actually involuntarily stepped back to open up a path for this young man when he passed by? This caused them to feel chills in their heart. They stared at the white-robed young man in wonder, how strong was he exactly?
The white-robed young man walked to the shoreline and stared at the monument there.
“Transforming blood into a sea, using bones as the boat.” He mumbled in a low voice as a smile appeared on his face. “Interesting.”
After speaking, he directly stepped out. A shocking scene then occurred. This young man didn’t step on a bone boat, he directly stepped onto the surface of the blood sea as he moved forward. In fact, with a wave of his hand, a torrent of water swirled about. He reached out and touched the water, feeling the energy contained in the blood sea.
“Is it worth it…?” He seemed to know something behind the scenes as he softly spoke. He continued walking further into the distance. This blood sea that could even injure heavenly deities was actually akin to an ordinary sea to him.
“This…” The other experts at the shore all had stunned looks on their faces as fierce waves of emotions rose in their hearts. There were still heavenly deities among those at the shore. Even for them, respect appeared in their hearts. In the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, there was actually such an existence. What was terrifying was that no one seemed to know of the existence of the white-robed young man.
Qin Wentian and the others were currently traversing the blood sea. The traveling speed of world overlords was naturally extremely fast, there was no need to speak about heavenly deities. But on the blood sea, no one dared to travel too quickly. All of them honestly stood upon the white bone boats as they controlled it to slowly float forward on the water’s surface. At this moment, the people on the blood sea saw a white-robed figure walking past them, exuding an extremely carefree aura. Great waves of shock rose in their hearts. How could this be? There was actually someone who was traversing the blood sea so easily? From their senses, they could tell that the energy inside this blood sea was able to destroy all living things.
Qin Wentian also saw the white-robed figure and the instant he saw him, his eyes gleamed with a resplendent light. He opened his mouth and wanted to call out a greeting yet he saw the white-robed young man also glancing at him. Although Qin Wentian was in disguise, that white-robed man effortlessly saw through it. The white-robed young man smiled and nodded to Qin Wentian. After that, he simply walked past Qin Wentian’s side.
“This man is so terrifying.” Jun Mengchen’s heart pounded violently. “Senior brother, you know him?”
“I met this senior once before. Since he came here, it’s perfectly normal that he is able to do this. The dangers in Heaven Vault might be able to stop heavenly deities but they won’t be able to stop him.” Qin Wentian replied. Jun Mengchen and Qi Yu by the side froze when they heard that, shocked by Qin Wentian’s words. Since Qin Wentian said this, it was clear that he knew how powerful this white-robed young man was.
“Senior, where have you met him before?” Jun Mengchen was filled with curiosity.
“Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy, the world of reincarnation. Mengchen, do not reveal this matter to anyone else.” Qin Wentian transmitted his voice to Jun Mengchen. After that, he didn’t say anything more. Since this senior wanted to live in seclusion, it would be for the best if Qin Wentian spoke less of his matters.
“Right.” Jun Mengchen nodded, understanding that his senior brother might have had a miraculous encounter with this senior before. This senior must be a transcendent character.
Qin Dangtian, who was ahead of Qin Wentian, also saw the white-robed figure. His gaze froze, filled with shock as he called out, “Sir, please hold on.”
That white-robed figure turned and casually glanced at Qin Dangtian.
“Sir, how did you manage to do this?” Qin Dangtian asked.
The white-robed figure didn’t reply. He turned around and continued on his way. Qin Dangtian stiffened, he was actually disregarded. However, when he saw the white-robed figure easily stepping on the water as he traversed the blood sea, he had no way to say anything. It was highly possible that the strength of this white-robed figure far surpassed his imagination. It’s best not to offend him.
Seems like there are still some unknown and extremely powerful existences in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. He had to continue to work harder. He could only hope that this trip to Heaven Vault would allow him to make a new breakthrough.
As the experts traveled further, the redness of the blood sea turned deeper. The air above them was tinged with streaks of red as well, illuminating the area. The suppressive atmosphere also grew more and more terrifying.
Up ahead, the blood waves churned wildly, forming giant tides, manifesting a storm of blood. The white-robed figure directly walked through the storm. The blood sea posed no obstruction to him. However, for those experts on the white bone boats, they could feel how dangerous things are.
“Nichang, make sure that you don’t leave my side.” Qin Dangtian reminded. His expression grew heavier as he regarded the surroundings.
As the sound of his voice faded, many ancient characters manifested around Qin Dangitan, transforming into a screen of protective light that engulfed his and Nichang’s bone boats. No matter how wild the blood waves are, they were blocked by the protective light screen, unable to come in contact with Qin Dangtian or Nichang.
The others on the blood sea all encountered the same situation as well. Qin Wentian stared at the churning waves ahead. A screen of isolated space appeared around him, completely swallowing the blood waves that came in contact with it, sending the waves into the void.
As for Jun Mengchen, the phantom of a world appeared, revolving around him protectively. Qi Yu’s battle intent surged as battle runes manifested, blocking the blood waves.
All the experts unleashed their own techniques as they continued to traverse the blood sea.
The storm ahead grew more and more terrifying, the churning waves slammed over, containing immense might. Some defensive measures of the experts on the blood sea were completely overwhelmed by the power of the blood sea. Their defensive measures crumbled away as their expressions changed.
“Careful!” Qin Dangtian’s expression grew increasingly heavy.
“Nichang, the blood sea contains a power that can corrode everything. Let me send you back, okay?” Qin Dangtian spoke to Goddess Nichang. Even for him, his defensive light screen was in the midst of being corroded.
“No need.” Goddess Nichang had a determined look on her face. Blood as the ocean, bones as the boat. There would surely be a way to get through this obstacle.
At this moment, within the blood sea, numerous streams of black-colored air flow suddenly gushed towards the experts on the blood sea. These blood-colored air flows directly penetrated their protection, allowing the blood waves to flow onto the white bone boats.
Up ahead, the treasure light surrounding Reverend Seven Abstinences had completely faded away. His position was the furthest ahead. Gradually, the blood waves submerged the white bone boat he was on and the boat started to sink down. The sight of this caused the hearts of those experts behind him to sink as well.
Reverend Seven Abstinences was already a heavenly deity. What would he choose to do.
Only to see at this moment, Seven Abstinences pressed his palms together and chanted a buddhist verse. After that, he resolutely gave up on the bone boat as he chose to sink into the blood sea. When his legs came in contact with the blood sea, they gradually turned illusory and vanished bit by bit. For every inch of his body sank into the water, that part of his body would become a part of the blood sea.
“This…” The experts behind had terror on their faces. Reverend Seven Abstinences was a heavenly deity. Even he was unable to block the corrosion of the blood sea? Doesn’t this mean that everyone here would perish in the blood sea today?
Finally, Reverend Seven Abstinences completely vanished into the blood sea. A beam of buddhic light flashed from the depths of the blood sea, like the sarira of Buddhism.
“Reverend Seven Abstinences, is he abandoning his physical form (body) to seek the dao?” Someone asked in a trembling voice. Behind, there were several people who decided to turn back. They didn’t wish to take the risk.
“Nichang.” Qin Dangtian stared at Goddess Nichang. Goddess Nichang’s expression was still as calm as water. Her beautiful eyes held no fear as she directly stepped out of her white bone boat, entering the blood sea.
“NICHANG!” Qin Dangtian called out loudly. However, Nichang didn’t care about him. Her body entered the blood sea and she encountered the same situation as Reverend Seven Abstinences. Her body gradually become part of the blood sea as she vanished. The people behind felt their hearts trembling even fiercer when they saw this. The number one beauty in the Heaven Region Goddess Nichang was going to die just like this?
“Wait.” Qin Dangtian’s eyes flashed. The Pureland of Bliss was one of the strongest hegemonic powers in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. There are many secret tomes recorded there, and there might be some records about the Heaven Vault. As for Nichang, her father entered the Heaven Vault before and she might know of some secrets. Entering the blood sea with their bodies might not lead to death.
As he thought of this, Qin Dangtian’s eyes flashed with resolution. He gave up the protection of his light screen and stepped out of the bone boat, entering the blood sea. Even Nichang dared to do this, what does he, Qin Dangtian, have to fear?
“Has everyone gone mad?” The experts behind all felt that this scene before their eyes was unbelievable. These people were all crazy.
Qin Wentian naturally saw what happened. Reverend Seven Abstinences, Heaven’s Son Qin Dangtian, Goddess Nichang. Which of them weren’t characters that exuded magnificence? Yet, they all actually chose to step off their bone boats and directly enter the blood sea. Would this choice really lead to a path of death?
If it is a path of death, how did people in the past manage to get through this obstacle? Although the Heaven Vault was dangerous and heavenly deities might die within, but according to the ancient records in the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy, as long as one was more cautious, the probability of surviving was still very high. This blood sea wasn’t truly a path of death.
Upon thinking of this, he spoke. “Uncle Yu, Mengchen. You guys should make your own choices.”
After speaking, he completely gave up on resisting and let the white bone boat sink down. His body also sank into the blood sea!
