Chapter 343: Where Even a Feather Would Sink
“Divine Kingdom of Fire!”
A flaming giant suddenly walked out of the airship. It growled and swept up a ball of flames, instantly vaporizing the water pillar and disappearing without a trace.
Swoosh.
In the void, the Nine Sages walked out of the airships and looked at the Dead Sea below in shock.
In the Dead Sea, there was a huge demon that looked like a fish but was not. It had two tails and many densely packed maws. It looked very sinister and terrifying as it stared coldly at the airships in the void.
!!
“This is a demon king, the Millemaw Fish! It has exactly a thousand mouths, and it eats constantly every day. It almost never stops eating, as if its stomach is a bottomless pit. It’s a dire beast unique to the Dead Sea. In an environment like the Dead Sea, even Sages like ourselves are unable to do anything to it.” Sage Bingyu explained.
She and Sage Ca.s.s guarded the vicinity of the Dead Sea of Abyss all year round, so they naturally knew very well.
“Millemaw Fish? It’s just a demon king. How can a Sage not be able to deal with it? Watch me!”
The Invincible Fist Sage did not care about a mere demon king. Moreover, this demon king actually dared to take the initiative to go on the offensive against Sages like them just now. This would never have happened elsewhere in the Outland.
Hence, the Invincible Fist Sage attacked. His Divine Kingdom of Fire swept down majestically.
Swish.
When the Divine Kingdom of Fire enveloped an area of a thousand meters, it seemed to have encountered some terrifying power. The Divine Kingdom instantly shattered, and even the flames in the Divine Kingdom disappeared without a trace.
“What’s going on?”
The Invincible Fist Sage was very surprised. He had never encountered such a situation.
“Invincible, don’t waste your effort. The environment of the Dead Sea of Abyss is very special. Our Divine Kingdoms can’t be used in the Dead Sea at all. Once it encounters the seawater of the Dead Sea, the Divine Kingdom would collapse.” Sage Ca.s.s explained with a smile, shocking all the Sages.
The Dead Sea of Abyss was actually so strange?
Boom.
The Millemaw Fish in the Dead Sea seemed to be “ridiculing” the Invincible Fist Sage as well. It suddenly slapped the seawater in the Dead Sea, causing waves to surge and billow. It was a rather spectacular sight.
The Invincible Fist Sage was a little embarra.s.sed. Be it Meta-divine Realm martial artists or Sages, their strength was actually due to the Divine Kingdom.
Once the Divine Kingdom lost its effect, relying on Astral Power alone, they were actually not stronger than demon kings.
Hence, if this Millemaw Fish was in the Dead Sea, the Invincible Fist Sage would really be unable to do anything to it.
Seeing the Millemaw Fish constantly “provoke” them in the Dead Sea, the Invincible Fist Sage could do nothing. However, he was also a little angry. A dignified Sage was mocked by a demon king in the Dead Sea. Didn’t this mean they were incompetent?
“Let me try!”
Lin Feng stared at the Millemaw Fish, then extended his arm.
Boom.
Lin Feng’s arm instantly expanded, like a pillar that held up the sky, and extended directly into the Dead Sea. His huge palm actually grabbed the Millemaw Fish from the seawater of the Dead Sea at once.
The Millemaw Fish panicked. Its hundreds of meters long body flailed continuously in Lin Feng’s palm, but it was futile.
“The seawater of this Dead Sea is a little special!”
When Lin Feng’s arm reached into the Dead Sea of Abyss just now, he immediately felt a kind of “corrosion” in the Dead Sea. However, his combat body was very strong, and he did not care about a little corrosion at all.
However, if other dire beasts entered the Dead Sea rashly, they would probably be instantly disintegrated by the corrosive force.
“Even a feather would sink in the seawater of the Dead Sea of Abyss, and it is also very corrosive. Even demon generals on the sh.o.r.e will be disintegrated in a very short period of time if they rashly enter the Dead Sea, and eventually be dissolved into the entire Dead Sea.”
Sage Ca.s.s’s gaze was very solemn. This was also where the name of the Dead Sea came from. It was almost deathly silent. When lifeforms entered the Dead Sea, they would immediately sink and disintegrate, until not even their bones were left behind.
The Invincible Fist Sage threw out a piece of white paper from his body. As soon as it came into contact with the seawater of the Dead Sea, it quickly sank. True enough, even a feather would sink here.
“This Dead Sea is really strange. As expected of one of the Four Forbidden Places, second only to the dangerous place in the Black Wind Canyon.”
Many Sages’ expressions turned solemn. This was the first time most of the Sages had seen such a strange place.
Lin Feng observed the Millemaw Fish in his hand. It was not very strong, but its entire body was slippery. Moreover, there was a corrosive power on its body, similar to the corrosive power in the seawater of the Dead Sea. It seemed like it had completely adapted to the environment of the Dead Sea. Its entire body structure was already different from those dire beasts on land.
However, Lin Feng was more concerned about whether there were any life core fragments in the Dead Sea of Abyss.
Thud.
Lin Feng squeezed hard, and the Millemaw Fish was instantly crushed. The pungent smell of blood filled the air. Lin Feng sensed carefully. There was no aura of any life core fragment in the flesh of the Millemaw Fish.
“Nothing?”
Lin Feng frowned. This demon king had never come into contact with a life core fragment.
“Sage Ca.s.s, Sage Bingyu, do you know which demon emperors are in the Dead Sea of Abyss?” Lin Feng asked the two Sages.
“We’ve encountered demon emperors before, but we’ve only encountered them occasionally. Moreover, in an environment like the Dead Sea, we didn’t dare to attack rashly. Most of the demon emperors are in the depths of the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is unfathomable. No one knows how deep it is. That’s how the Abyss got its name.”
Sage Ca.s.s’s expression was very solemn. He and Sage Bingyu had guarded the Dead Sea of Abyss for a long time, but the number of times they had encountered demon emperors could be counted on one hand.
In addition, the Divine Kingdoms of Sages were useless when encountering the seawater of the Dead Sea. It was all the more reason they did not dare to approach the Dead Sea lightly, let alone venture into it.
If they ventured into the Dead Sea and the Divine Kingdom lost its use, forget about demon emperors, they probably wouldn’t be able to deal with even some demon kings.
“I can go down and take a look.” Lin Feng suddenly said.
No matter how dangerous the Dead Sea of Abyss was, it did not affect his combat body much. The only inconvenience was that Lin Feng’s combat power was slightly weaker in the seawater.
“Sage Lin Feng, is it necessary to do this? It’s too risky. Although the Dead Sea of Abyss is dangerous, the demons in the Dead Sea rarely come ash.o.r.e. They’re actually not much of a threat to us humans.”
Although Sage Bingyu and Sage Ca.s.s were guarding such a dangerous place, they also knew the demons in the Dead Sea of the Abyss very well. They would not come ash.o.r.e easily.
After all, once they left the special environment of the Dead Sea, those demons would also become much less threatening.
“We don’t have much time. I have to go down and search if there are any scarlet crystals.”
Lin Feng was not worried about the demons in the Dead Sea. He was looking for life core fragments. There might be many demon emperors in such a vast Dead Sea. He did not believe that there were no life core fragments within.
“All right, we’ll wait here for Sage Lin Feng. Whether you can find the scarlet crystal or not, Sage Lin Feng must return within a month.”
Sage Kang thought for a moment and finally came up with a compromise.
“All right, I’ll return within a month, whether I find the scarlet crystal or not.”
With that, Lin Feng deployed the Tidal Combat Body and walked into the Dead Sea step by step.
