The Blood Sea was really deep, with the ocean floor a whole hundred thousand meters below the surface.
As they went deeper, the environment became more pressurized, the scent of blood got thicker, and the numbers of blood beasts increased.
These fish type blood beasts were grouped together in millions and they charged towards Qingfeng Li.
Qingfeng Li’s eyes were cold as he said, “These damned things, do they really think they can kill me?”
Qingfeng Li opened his mouth and used the lion’s roar, creating a strong sonic wave attack which entered the heads of the fish type blood beasts, ripping their spirit energy apart. Their corpses dried up and floated above the blood sea.
Qingfeng Li glanced at the Saint of the Blood Sea and asked, “Are the blood beasts in the Blood Sea no longer under your control?”
The Saint of the Blood Sea bitterly laughed before shaking her head and saying, “Yes, I do not control the blood beasts anymore. They’re controlled by a hive mind in the Abyss of the Blood Sea. I don’t know what he is using to control the beasts.”
Qingfeng Li nodded and answered, “Fine. We’ll figure it out when we reach the abyss.”
The Saint of the Blood Sea led the way as Qingfeng Li and the others slayed blood beasts. Qingfeng Li estimated that the kill count was more than a billion.
Later, Qingfeng Li lost track of how many he had killed. The blood beasts that blocked their path were continuously destroyed by his sonic wave attack or strangle hell fist. None were left alive as they all became a part of the blood sea, their own blood mixed with that of the sea.
Within 15 minutes, they had already reached the sea bed, which was 150,000 meters beneath the surface.
At the bottom, there was immense pressure above them. Any normal human would be crushed into bloody paste even before they reached the ocean floor. Since Qingfeng Li and the others were saints, they were not afraid of the pressure at all.
The Saint of the Blood Sea’s slender finger pointed to a rift in front of them and said, “Qingfeng Li, that’s the abyss of the blood sea.”
Qingfeng Li’s vision concentrated and looked in the direction the Saint of the Blood Sea was pointing at. He discovered a gigantic rift in the sea bed.
The rift continued for countless miles and seemed endless.
Bloody water and mist flowed out from the rift.
A terrifying aura emitted from the abyss and feared the blood beasts away.
Qingfeng Li used his spirit energy in an attempt to detect the contents of the abyss.
Unfortunately, as Qingfeng Li’s spirit energy went a few hundred meters below, he encountered a gust of blood demon spirit.
The blood demon spirit seemed like a gigantic and terrifyingly strong sea monster. It opened its gaping mouth and bit towards Qingfeng Li’s spirit energy in an attempt to rip it apart.
Qingfeng Li coldly snorted and said, “I don’t think you can fight my spirit energy.”
Qingfeng Li controlled his spirit energy, creating a black vortex with suction force. It began sucking the blood demon spirit up towards Qingfeng Li.
However, the blood demon spirit formed a red vortex as well, which went against Qingfeng Li’s black vortex.
The two rays of spirit energy clashed a few hundred meters into the abyss. Huge amounts of sea water was displaced and crushed the strong blood beasts into shreds.
Everything around became cloudy due to the blood mist. It was blurry as if there was a huge earthquake.
In the next moment, the blood colored vertex retreated to the depths of the abyss. It clearly was no match for Qingfeng Li’s spirit energy.
Qingfeng Li lightly smiled and retracted his spirit energy instead of chasing it.
He knew that the blood sea abyss was unpredictable, and did not realize how deep it actually was. He was afraid that entering without precautions would cause harm to his spirit energy.
When the Sea of the Blood Saint saw the scene unfold, her jaw dropped. With surprise, she said, “Qingfeng Li, you are too overpowered. Before, my spirit energy was deflected immediately. I can’t believe that you are completely fine.”
Qingfeng Li lightly smiled without speaking a word. Although he was only a low grade saint, his spirit energy was extremely strong and was comparable to that of mid-grade saint’s. The blood vertex was no match for him.
But, Qingfeng Li had discovered that there was a malevolent force within the blood vortex. His spirit energy could not extinguish that force and had let it escape.
Qingfeng Li had felt that there was an unusual force underneath the abyss of the Blood Sea and was completely different than any on the Crimson Fire Continent. The force did not belong to that of a self cultivator but to an evil entity.
Qingfeng Li glanced at the Saint of the Blood Sea and inquired, “Have you been down the abyss before?”
The Saint of the Blood Sea shook her head and answered, “Ever since I became the ruler of the Blood Sea, I’ve known of the existence of the abyss. My teacher once told me that there was great danger within and I should never approach it, hence why it is a restricted area. It’s the real restricted area of the Crimson Fire Continent.”
Qingfeng Li nodded, as he had felt that the abyss of the Blood Sea was different than the other three restricted areas that he had cleared. The feeling was a prediction.
Qingfeng Li was the planet ruler of the Crimson Fire Continent and controlled the entire Continent. He obviously had to consider the hundreds of billions of humans on the Continent before leaving them.
If the evil entity broke out, it may consume the entire human race on the Crimson Fire Continent. So before he leaves, he must rid the danger from the Blood Sea Abyss.
Qingfeng Li contemplated for a moment before saying, “I’ve decided to explore the depths of the Abyss of the Blood Sea. Do you want to come with me? If you feel threatened, you can stay back.”
The Saint of the Blood Sea shook her head and said, “I’m coming with you. I’m a part of the Crimson Fire Continent too, and I am supposed to rule the Blood Sea. Now that my subordinates have been controlled by an evil force and I had to watch them die horrible deaths, my heart aches. I must know who has taken control of them, and I will tear him to pieces.”
Qingfeng Li nodded and said, “Good, I’ll lead the way. You and the demonic beasts should follow close behind and try not to get separated, as great dangers lurk ahead.”
Qingfeng Li stepped out towards the Abyss of the Blood Sea.
The Saint of the Blood Sea followed him, and Black Puppy, Sky Devouring Snake, and the Treasure-Hunting Mouse did as well. The group headed towards the depths of the abyss.
