Chapter 3200: Blood Sea
The light chased above the Nether River. As though provoked, the originally calm and dark river suddenly surged like a tsunami, as though it wanted to drown the light.
The mighty power contained in the Nether River could even destroy the Dao Imprints of the Heavenly Court.
But now, the surging river water could not devour the light.
However, against the obstruction of the layers of huge waves, the speed of the light decreased significantly and the Martial Dao Prime Body was temporarily out of danger.
As the Martial Spirit of the Martial Dao Prime Body ventured deeper into the Nether River, the fearful feeling that originated from the depths of the Nether River intensified!
In the line of water ahead, the Martial Dao Prime Body saw the ball of flames from before once more.
However, this time round, the dilapidated ancient s.h.i.+p was nowhere to be seen beside the flames.
The last time he saw the dilapidated ancient s.h.i.+p, it floated on the river in the distance motionlessly.
At that time, he was still puzzled.
The Nether River flowed continuously and pa.s.sed through the Four Paths. Why did the dilapidated and strange s.h.i.+p stop on the spot and not follow the current?
However, this time round, the dilapidated ancient s.h.i.+p vanished!
The Martial Dao Prime Body did not have the energy to think too much about it. The danger behind him had yet to be resolved.
Even in his peak state with his physical body, crossing the Nether River would consume a lot of energy and was filled with danger.
Right now, he had only the Martial Spirit left. He had just experienced a huge battle and was extremely weak. By the time he escaped all the way here, he was already at the end of his rope.
He did not dare to approach the ball of flames at all.
Even a little damage could extinguish his Martial Spirit completely!
As time pa.s.sed, the flames of the Martial Dao Prime Body’s Martial Spirit became weaker and dimmer.
His consciousness began to blur and he only had a trace of will and instinct left as he continued to escape.
After an unknown period of time, the Martial Dao Prime Body suddenly felt a torrential resentment and anger surge towards him, almost suffocating him! Instinctively, he stopped in his tracks and maintained his last bit of consciousness as he looked over.
What he saw shocked him. The Martial Spirit Fire flickered and was almost extinguished!
Below him was still the Nether River that flowed continuously.
However, right in front of him was an endless Blood Sea with torrential blood qi!
Back then, when he saw the ball of flames, he noticed that the river near the ball of flames was red.
Initially, he thought that it was because of the flames. It was only at that moment that he realized that there was a Blood Sea ahead to begin with!
What was even more terrifying was that the indignant, angry and resentful emotions revealed by the Blood Sea were familiar.
It was extremely similar to the emotions in the drop of blood in the Netherworld Treasure Mirror!
Suddenly, the Martial Dao Prime Body thought of a possibility.
Perhaps the drop of blood in the Netherworld Treasure Mirror originated from the Blood Sea before him!
If a single drop of blood was already so powerful, how terrifying was the power contained in the boundless Blood Sea?!
As for how the Blood Sea was formed?
The Martial Dao Prime Body had once floated down the Nether River for more than a hundred years. He pa.s.sed through Four Paths, the Netherworld and finally returned to his original spot.
In other words, the existence of the Nether River was like a river that flowed around without a true source.
At that time, the Martial Dao Prime Body was puzzled.
In that case, what was in the center of the Nether River?
Since there was no source, where did the power of the Nether River come from?
At that moment, it seemed like there was an answer to everything.
In that short delay, the light behind him had already broken through the obstructions of the Nether River and was getting closer!
Even the Nether River could not block off the light.
As for the endless Blood Sea ahead, everything was unknown.
The Martial Dao Prime Body could sense that the Blood Sea contained an extremely terrifying power that far surpa.s.sed the Nether River!
If his extremely weak Martial Spirit ran to the Blood Sea and was engulfed by the blood qi, it would probably be extinguished on the spot and he would die! The Martial Dao Prime Body turned back.
He had no way out.
The Martial Dao Prime Body no longer hesitated and floated towards the Blood Sea ahead.
s.h.i.+ng!
The moment he arrived above the Blood Sea, endless blood qi surged over and enveloped his Martial Spirit with a sizzling sound.
The Martial Spirit flickered continuously and the flames became smaller and smaller. Before long, they were completely extinguished.
The soul of the Martial Dao Prime Body fell into the Blood Sea and his consciousness sank continuously.
He realized that the Martial Dao Prime Body was finished.
His soul was destroyed!
At the final moment before his consciousness disappeared, he suddenly thought of something.
Since the Blood Sea before him was calm and motionless, why did the dilapidated ancient s.h.i.+p of the past disappear?
Before he could think of a final answer, he lost consciousness.
The light from the major chiliocosm tore through the Nether River waves and chased towards the Blood Sea. However, it suddenly stopped!
The light seemed to have become confused and could not find its target.
It patrolled everywhere but still found nothing.
Under the continuous was.h.i.+ng of the Nether River and Blood Sea, the light dimmed and finally dissipated, fusing into the Blood Sea.
Splas.h.!.+
Right then, the sound of water sounded.
Ripples suddenly appeared in the initially calm Blood Sea.
An extremely simple dilapidated ancient s.h.i.+p that was pitch-black tore through the sea from the depths of the blood fog and sailed over slowly.
Arriving at the place where the Martial Spirit of the Martial Dao Prime Body was extinguished, the dilapidated ancient s.h.i.+p suddenly stopped.
Immediately after, a figure stood up slowly from the pitch-black boat!
The figure curled up and squatted in the sunken s.h.i.+p, almost fusing with the dilapidated ancient s.h.i.+p. If it was motionless, it would be almost impossible to tell them apart!
The figure wore a wide black robe and had disheveled hair. His spa.r.s.e black hair covered his entire face and one could vaguely see his pale skin. However, one could not see his exact appearance and it was unknown if he was a human or a ghost.
The figure turned slowly to look at the soul of the Martial Dao Prime Body in the Blood Sea.
“Hehe…”
A strange laughter sounded from his black hair.
Suddenly!
The black-robed man waved his hand casually and his wide robe sleeves fell into the Blood Sea. He scooped up the soul of the Martial Dao Prime Body and placed it gently on the ancient s.h.i.+p.
Thereafter, the black- robed man beckoned to the ball of flames floating in the Blood Sea and a scarlet flame floated out, landing on the soul of the Martial Dao Prime Body.
Phew!
The Martial Spirit Fire that was originally extinguished burned once more!
Although it was still very weak, the soul of the Martial Dao Prime Body was gradually recovering its vitality!
The black-robed man turned around and his black hair covered his face. His indistinct gaze pa.s.sed through his spa.r.s.e black hair and landed on the Martial Dao Prime Body, as though he was staring at him.
His gaze was strange and indescribable.
A moment later, the black-robed man retracted his gaze. Without doing anything, the dilapidated ancient s.h.i.+p beneath him swayed.
Carrying the Martial Dao Prime Body, they headed deeper into the Blood Sea and gradually disappeared into the vast blood fog.
The Nether River calmed down as well, as though nothing had happened.
