The smile that was left in the Heavens and Earth seemed to be the last trace that Wen Chiyang left in this world. After that, the projection in the minds of Lin Feng and the others disappeared.
The stone pillar called “Catastrophe” had been re-established in the Netherworld Sea, but Wen Chiyang’s figure was no longer seen anymore.
Although what happened next couldn’t be seen, everyone could tell roughly what happened.
Wen Chiyang borrowed the powers of the Netherworld Sea to return to the Divine Lands and began his final battle in his life. He was killed and the Supreme Heavenly Mirror was damaged once again.
And the result that he got in the end was that Shen Yuan was finally killed.
Lin Feng looked at the stone pillar in front of him and emotions filled him in an instant. A sentence appeared in his mind at this point.
A courageous warrior with a burning passion and responsibility.
Although there was no longer anyone here, Lin Feng still clasped his palm and fist as a show of his respect.
Beside him, Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Yang Qing and Li Yuanfang were all speechless. After a long while, they all looked at the place where Wen Chiyang once sat and bowed respectfully.
Yang Qing sighed, “During that huge war in the Middle Ages, a figure appeared subtly in the Netherworld Sea. That figure indeed belongs to Wen Chiyang. No wonder that figure was crushed completely. To him, as long as he participated in the battle, his fate was already destined.”
Everyone nodded their heads to show that they agreed. After he calmed down, Zhu Yi turned to look at the stone pillar that was flashing with red light, “Wen Chiyang paid a huge price after a long time, and paved the way for others in the future to cultivate the Netherworld Sea. But to really do it, it’s not easy.”
Xiao Yan nodded his head and took in a deep breath. He straightened the Nefarious Almighty Sword and the tip of the sword pointed to the stone pillar in front of him. His other hand then lifted the Catastrophic Broken Rock and red light engulfed his entire body at this point.
The glow of the stone pillar turned eye-blinding at this point and resonated with Xiao Yan. In the space between the both of them, a white light surged and it indeed seemed that the boundary powers were being distorted.
As Xiao Yan walked forward, the void space around the stone pillar seemed to appear with a gate. A powerful yet mysterious force was revealed from there and it was indeed a terrifying scene.
Lin Feng’s gaze brightened and a light spot shot out of his brows. As the light spot flew out, it turned into the Two Elements of Creation Formation in an instant.
And in the center of the Two Elements of Creation Formation, a huge crucible that could carry the entire Divine Lands jerked tremendously.
Besides the Crucible of the Divine Lands, Zhu Yi’s expression also changed slightly. A golden ray appeared above his head and a golden bridge that seemed extremely ancient and appeared to contain the concepts of Dao shone with a bright radiance, as it revealed itself in front of everyone. It was the Higan Golden Bridge.
To be able to resonate with two different destiny level magic treasures, the identity of this stone pillar was naturally not a mystery anymore.
It was a destiny level magic treasure on its own, and it was even a destiny level magic treasure that was nurtured from the powers of the Netherworld Sea. It was tightly linked to the Netherworld Sea.
Lin Feng sensed for awhile and nodded his head, “More accurately speaking, it was a magic treasure embryo previously. During the process of cultivating the Netherworld Sea, it slowly matured and formed its shape. It then became tightly linked to the Netherworld sea and Wen Chiyang, combining to form one entity.
“After Wen Chiyang perished, this magic treasure still remained as the core of the Netherworld Sea, and even controlled this destiny level magic treasure called “Catastrophe”. In fact, this meant that it controlled the Netherworld Sea. This magic treasure did not exist independently and its value was not just restricted to itself.”
“It was birthed from the Netherworld Sea, and now it’s combining with the Netherworld Sea. This is indeed a ferocious weapon to use. To cultivate it and make it submit, I believe that it is as difficult as other destiny level magic treasures. But compared to the Crucible of the Divine Lands and Higan Golden Bridge which were gentler, it was incomparable.”
Around Xiao Yan’s body, red light rumbled and the images of disasters in the Netherworld Sea surged. He said softly, “After seeing this, I understand everything now.”
Lin Feng nodded his head, “Yes.”
Zhu Yi also seemed to be enlightened. Yang Qing, Li Yuanfang and the others looked at him and Zhu Yi explained, “Eldest Senior’s soul was stained with the aura of Catastrophe and the Netherworld Sea during the process of reincarnation. It’s even the aura of the core of the Netherworld Sea. Although it’s weak, it’s very pure and it was almost as if it came from the original source.”
“It’s much purer than the Catastrophic Broken Rock, as well as more original.”
Li Yuanfang asked, “Just like the Divine Body Armor of the Marquis of Jinghuan?”
Zhu Yi shook his head and said, “That’s not so. For the Marquis of Jinghuan, the original soul of the Divine Body Armor was separated out and combined with his human soul. Thus, the Marquis of Jinghuan is like half the avatar of the Divine Body Armor. He’s half human and half treasure.”
“Eldest Senior’s connection with Catastrophe is not that close. The both of them are like companions that grow together. The aura of the Netherworld Sea is like a treasure that follows him.”
He looked at Xiao Yan, “Catastrophe is created by both the Netherworld Sea and Wen Chiyang. While Wen Chiyang is already dead, Catastrophe still remains with a part of him. Although it’s weak, it’s a fact that it exists. Thus, the Crucible of the Divine Lands rejects your Eldest Senior. But because the aura of Wen Chiyang on your Eldest Senior’s body is too weak, the reaction by the Crucible of the Divine Lands is not that intense.”
“However, it’s obvious that the Crucible of the Divine Lands discriminates Catastrophe.”
Everyone looked at the Crucible of the Divine Lands in the Two Elements of Creation Formation. With regards to the aura given out by Catastrophe, it indeed held an attitude of discrimination.
While it contained the aura of stability of the Divine Lands that was the opposite of the disasters of the Netherworld Sea, it also inadvertently developed a distaste for Wen Chiyang.
But for Catastrophe, it did not have any emotional backlash when facing the Crucible of the Divine Lands and the Higan Golden Bridge. It was just a resonance between destiny level magic treasures.
Lin Feng kept the Two Elements of Creation Formation and Crucible of the Divine Lands and came beside Xiao Yan, “Let’s go.”
After he finished saying, he entered the gate, while Xiao Yan followed behind him. Zhu Yi and the rest followed behind him.
Behind the gate, everything was a blur, but there was a deep red color that left one feeling suppressed. Entering this space caused one to lose his sense of space and distance.
Meanwhile, one could also feel that things moved slower around him, as if he was moving in mud.
The aura of Catastrophe was everywhere, but its full body could not be seen. Lin Feng and the rest felt as if they had entered the body of Catastrophe, but yet felt that they had not encountered it yet.
“It’s because this treasure is tightly linked to the Netherworld Sea?”
Lin Feng pondered for a moment before his heart fluttered a little. He looked into the distance and saw space opening up over there. A few human figures appeared. They were Yan Nanlai, Wu Mengqi, the Qing Ning Holy Man and the others.
Everyone looked at Lin Feng and their gazes straightened, “Has his actual body come?”
“My friends, it’s been awhile.” Lin Feng said. He looked at Yan Nanlai, Wu Mengqi and the rest, who seemed to be worst off than him. In this space, one felt as if he was moving mud. It was very difficult to move forward.
Lin Feng was enlightened, “Is it because of the fact that the primitive world that Wen Chiyang once lived in has come into close contact with Catastrophe.”
Yan Nanlai, Wu Mengqi and the Qing Ning Holy Man creased their brows. Especially for Wu Mengqi, his pupils flashed with a radiance continuously, “Even if the Ancient Longevity World passed the Catastrophic Broken Rock to the Celestial Sect of Wonders, they shouldn’t find it so relaxed. Don’t tell me Xiao Yan is really related to the Netherworld Sea?”
His vision landed on Xiao Yan, filled with scrutiny, while Xiao Yan stared back at him calmly.
Yan Nanlai passed a message to Wu Mengqi, “The Celestial Sect of Wonders is on the front foot. I’m afraid that because they stepped foot into here, they must have activated something that allowed us to come here from somewhere else.”
Wu Mengqi nodded his head, “The key may lie in the first small world of the Netherworld Sea. The path into here comes from there. It’s likely that the Celestial Sect of Wonders came through to this world from that world. My concern is, how did they find that place?”
“On Xiao Yan, there must be some secret, but I can’t sense it now.” Wu Mengqi’s eyes squinted, “Over here, he seems to combine with the Netherworld Sea to form an entity, but no clues can be derived.”
Yan Nanlai and the Qing Ning Holy Man turned more serious as they heard him.
After Wu Mengqi inherited the legacy of Wen Chiyang, he could summon the powers of the Netherworld Sea. His sensitivity in the Netherworld Sea was very strong, but he could not tell the background of Xiao Yan. This abnormal situation caught their attention.
At this point, in another direction, void space opened and a figure appeared. It was a young man who only seemed like he was only 10 years old.
This person’s appearance seemed unfamiliar, but Lin Feng and Yan Nanlai could tell immediately, “Emperor of the Dead?”
This youth was the reborn Emperor of the Dead. He looked at Lin Feng and nodded his head, “Lin Feng, it’s been awhile.”
After that, he looked at Yan Nanlai, “Leader of the Great Void Sect? When I see you, I think of Yan Xinghe.”
Yan Nanlai remained calm, “Emperor of the Dead, do you think this is the time to reminisce about the past? It’s fine if you don’t want to reveal yourself. But since you have revealed yourself, you better stay here today.”
The Emperor of the Dead disagreed, “Things in the Netherworld Sea are of paramount importance. I had no choice but to come. Otherwise, my plans will go to waste. Moreover, inside this Netherworld Sea, keeping me here will take quite some effort.”
Lin Feng and Yan Nanlai thought, “He has regained his powers. Don’t tell me he used some special ritual that has something to do with the Netherworld Sea?”
“Emperor of the Dead, aren’t you too careless.” A figure suddenly walked out from the crack in void space behind Yan Nanlai and the others. She looked like a young lady who was only 14 or 15 years old. She seemed calm and indifferent. She was the Qing Yi Holy Woman.
If the Supreme Heavenly Mirror did not want to delay its recovery, it was very difficult to send someone into the chaotic Netherworld Sea. What more sending someone into the core region where Catastrophe was.
When Wu Mengqi first entered the Netherworld Sea, the Qing Yi Holy Man had already entered the Netherworld Sea through his guidance and with the help of the Supreme Heavenly Mirror.
After seeing the Qing Yi Holy Woman, the expression of the Emperor of the Dead did not change. He shook his head slightly, “All of you are the careless ones. The threat that you bring to me is not comparable to that of Lin Feng’s actual body over here.”
