The Chaotic God Sea had finally arrived.
Fang Han and his group shuttled across the sea, taking almost several days and nights before reaching the mysterious immemorial battlefield, the Chaotic God Sea.
Looking at the Chaotic God Sea at a glance, it was pitch black layer upon layer, forever shrouded by a mass of fog. This fog gathered without scattering, drifting everywhere, somewhat similar to the evil fog in the Fallen Evil Valley of Quanzhou.
Though called an ocean, it was actually not entirely a boundless sea, but consisted of floating continents. Many continent islands with a radius of hundreds of millions or even billions of miles floated within the endless black fog.
Fierce winds howled across the ocean from time to time, making the fog inside roll and scatter, yet it would never recede.
This ancient battlefield was forever in the mystery shrouded by the thick fog.
Immemorial heroic spirits wandered within it, and ancient souls roared inside. Mysterious and dangerous, Fang Han faintly looked over at a glance and discovered that on some continents, white bones piled up like mountains. Mysterious and terrifying divine wills lingered among them, seemingly indicating that some overlord-level existences were hiding there, ready to deal a fatal blow to anyone at will.
"Inside the Chaotic God Sea, it is even more dangerous. The demonic beasts hidden within are unparalleled in their might. There are even some immemorial dead spirits drifting about inside that can strangle Golden Immortals at any time. We must be exceptionally careful. Moreover, rumor has it that the army of the God race has also entered the Chaotic God Sea to lie in wait, similarly seeking the Ghost Martial Sage Lord's tomb…"
Murong Shi's face grew thoroughly solemn. A pure, transparent, jade-like sword light surfaced on his body, displaying formidable protective capabilities and lethality.
"Crown Prince Murong, you are a member of the Heavenly Court's Jade Mansion. With you inviting us to come this time, you definitely have a map of the Ghost Martial Sage Lord's tomb on you. Otherwise, for us to search aimlessly everywhere in this Chaotic God Sea, encountering the God race army, various demonic beasts, and immemorial dead spirits, it would be extremely dangerous."
Fang Han spoke directly: "It would be better to take the map out so we can carefully study it together. Find the Ghost Martial Sage Lord's tomb first, then we can go deep inside to obtain the various treasures and the fragments of the Ghost Martial Holy Diagram. We can talk after that."
Fang Han had long seen that this Chaotic God Sea was indeed incomparably treacherous, and Golden Immortals entering it were absolutely fraught with grim possibilities. He was not willing to waste more time idling here.
"Hmm?" Hearing Fang Han tell him to take out the map of the Ghost Martial Sage Lord's tomb, killing intent surfaced on Murong Shi's face, though it flashed past fleetingly.
"Audacious!"
Su Feiyang spoke up instead: "Feng Yuan, for you to say such words is simply great treason. This time, Crown Prince Murong is the leader, guiding us here to complete the Heavenly Court's mission. All matters should be arranged by the Crown Prince. It is not your place to point fingers and make remarks. In the battle with the Divine Turtle Heaven King Beasts, you obtained a fortuitous encounter and collected four threads of the Sword of Loss qi, which you should have offered to Crown Prince Murong with both hands, letting him distribute them. Yet you spoke without shame and exacted payment from him. Your malicious intent deserves to be destroyed by heaven and earth! And now you dare to force Crown Prince Murong to take out the map of the Ghost Martial Sage Lord's tomb? What exactly are you trying to do?"
Su Feiyang's words were sharp, every sentence ostensibly for Murong Shi's sake, yet filled with provocation.
"Is it your turn to speak here?" Fang Han stepped forward, "Roll away for me! Otherwise I will kill you right now!"
"You!" Su Feiyang sneered gloomily: "Feng Yuan, one day, I will let you know the formidable might of my Myriad Beginnings Sword Sect."
"Right now, I want to know exactly how formidable the Myriad Beginnings Sword Sect is." Fang Han extended his large hand, grabbing toward Su Feiyang, "I merely made a suggestion, yet you provoke so maliciously with evil intentions. It seems I must kill you before you will quiet down completely for a moment."
"Bang!"
At this time, Murong Shi took action.
He brought two fingers together, and a sword light shot out, slashing onto Fang Han's large hand. Instantly, golden light scattered in all directions, and Fang Han retracted his hand like lightning. He feigned the appearance of having suffered a loss.
"Crown Prince Murong, you!"
Fang Han knew just now that Murong Shi would strike, but he hadn't truly intended to grab and kill Su Feiyang; he only wanted to probe just how formidable Murong Shi's "Jade Emperor Holy Dao Wondrous Great Venerable Sword Incantation" was.
Upon that slight collision, he felt as if the Golden Immortal laws within his body were in danger of being cut and pierced. However, although he could dissolve it, he deliberately retreated to numb Murong Shi's vigilance.
"Enough! I will make the decisions regarding this matter." Murong Shi looked at Fang Han's reaction, even taking Fang Han's look of surprise into his heart, feeling quite satisfied, "That is correct, I do possess the map of the Ghost Martial Sage Lord's tomb on me, which is the reason for summoning you all to come this time. However, I cannot let you view it because this is a Heavenly Court secret, and once leaked, there will be punishment. You just need to follow me, I will absolutely not let you suffer a loss, that's all."
"I am willing to follow."
"I am also willing."
Wei Dongsheng and Fen Chen quickly echoed their agreement.
"Humph! Crown Prince Murong, to think your Jade Emperor Holy Dao Wondrous Great Venerable Sword Incantation is so wondrous. It seems that selling you the two threads of the Sword of Loss qi was a mistaken choice. Fine, you command, let's go to the Ghost Martial Sage Lord's tomb!"
Fang Han's face feigned an extremely embarrassed look.
"Hahahaha!" Murong Shi laughed: "Once my Jade Emperor Holy Dao Wondrous Great Venerable Sword Incantation is mastered, I am near invincible among Golden Immortals. Feng Yuan, you are quite good, whoever understands the times is a great man. If you continue to be stubbornly obtuse and confront me head-on, when I unleash this sword incantation to its limits, I will definitely be able to slay you."
"Humph humph!" Fang Han grunted twice, seeming extremely unwilling, and retreated. However, in his heart, he stealthily operated the Great Heart Demon Magic and the Dao of Heaven Stealing, exploring the mysteries within Murong Shi's body to see exactly where the opponent's map to the Ghost Martial Sage Lord's tomb was located.
"Feng Yuan, his Jade Emperor Holy Dao Wondrous Great Venerable Sword Incantation is indeed formidable, it can slash Golden Immortal laws. You still need to temporarily avoid its sharp edge." Xu Muyun saw that Fang Han seemed to have suffered a minor loss and quickly transmitted a divine will over.
"No matter, if he wants to do anything to me, he must also pay a steep price. Here, he dares not strike at will. Otherwise, if I risk death, I will also heavily injure him. When that happens, the demonic beasts here will take advantage." Fang Han deliberately spoke, his voice sounding somewhat angered from humiliation.
"You need to be careful…" Bi Yu'er transmitted a message, "It's best not to touch the King grade immortal pills and spirit veins you traded with him…"
"Hmm?" Fang Han took a deep look at Bi Yu'er: "This woman is not simple, to think she actually saw that there are hidden restriction spells within those spirit veins."
"Crown Prince Murong, since your sword qi is mastered and you hold the majesty of the Jade Emperor, why not just go ahead and destroy this Feng Yuan? Along the way, he has stolen all the limelight." Wei Dongsheng also secretly transmitted a divine will to Murong Shi at this time: "Moreover, it is highly likely that he will try to snatch the Ghost Martial Sage Lord's map fragment in the future."
"Humph! He won't reach the Ghost Martial Sage Lord's tomb. Besides, if I want to kill him, I cannot do it so obviously." Murong Shi said: "He is after all a person of the Ascension Sect, with Xu Muyun guarding him. Though Xu Muyun does not count for much, she is a member of the Xu family. The power of the Xu family is ordinarily large. But rest assured, they won't reach the Ghost Martial Sage Lord's tomb. I will lure them into a death trap and find an excuse to kill him! Bi Yu'er and Xu Muyun can be let go, but this Feng Yuan must die. His divine abilities are extremely formidable, I want to imprison him, slowly refine him, and make him wish he was dead. To actually dare to extort me, causing me to lose two tier-one spirit veins!"
"Crown Prince Murong is wise!"
"Indeed wise! This Feng Yuan's methods are very strong, but that's where he stops. This time, we bury him completely."
"His Golden Immortal laws are so thick, I want a section of his body to forge medicinal pills! King grade immortal pills."
"No problem, he is already a dead man. From the moment I mastered the Jade Emperor Holy Dao Wondrous Great Venerable Sword Incantation just now, he was already dead." Murong Shi took another deep look at Fang Han: "Let's go, enter the Chaotic God Sea!"
The group shuttled through, flashing like lightning across the sky, entering the thick fog and flying among the continents.
As soon as they entered the Chaotic God Sea, Fang Han immediately felt the sky spin and the earth turn. His body involuntarily began to tremble because inside the Chaotic God Sea, the turbulent flows of time and space were too strong, not at all like the scenery viewed from the outside.
The space and time inside were layered upon one another, making it fundamentally impossible to see what things exactly lay within. The怪异 laughter of powerful dead spirits constantly flowed past people's ears, lingering without leaving.
Fang Han and the others all felt huge shadows right behind them, ready to launch an attack on them at any time. Yet upon turning back to look, there was nothing there.
Splash splash!
The distortion of time and space became more and more intense. Having no other choice, the group could only land and fly at a low altitude, refraining from spatial shuttling. They gradually ventured deeper into the depths of the Chaotic God Sea. Amidst the continents, a white long river flowed directly, appearing right before everyone.
"That is!"
Even Xu Muyun was shocked, pointing at the white long river ahead that stretched for an unknown number of hundreds of millions of miles and was incomparably wide. What flowed inside was actually not water at all, but countless, untold hundreds of millions of trillions of white bones and white skulls.
A long river formed entirely horizontally out of white bones and white skulls obstructed everyone's path.
This scene was extremely eerie.
One wondered where so many white bones came from.
"Pay attention! This is the Bone River, vast and boundless. Rumor has it that it consists of the various remains left behind from the war waged between the ancient Heavenly Court, the God race, and the Demon race. After being nurtured by Yin baleful qi, it formed this boundless river. Within this Bone River, the Ghost Martial Sage Lord's tomb is hidden." Murong Shi gave a loud shout, instructing the group to halt and stand on the bank, looking down at the rolling flow of the white bone long river, where skulls tumbled inside, flowing far away to an unknown destination.
The Yin wind whimpered, blowing through the skulls in this white bone long river and producing hollow ghostly wails. Everywhere was the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling.
No one dared to venture deep into the white bone long river.
This Bone River was truly too eerie. Fang Han explored it with his divine will but could not find its edges at all, nor did he know how long it was.
Crack!
Suddenly, amid the torrential long river of white bones, a skull close to the bank abruptly flew up from the river, opened its mouth, and bit towards Murong Shi.
