“This is ……”
Chen Dong looked horrified at the spectral black lotus rising up under his feet.
It seemed to have manifested out of thin air without any warning.
It was clearly black, and the spectral light emitted was also black, but it was just distinct from the endless darkness around it.
“Come~”
The sinister voice resounded once again.
Doubts clustered around Chen Dong and he frowned as he looked ahead.
What exactly was this situation?
Or what exactly was happening?
He could not figure it out, but for a moment, he could not pull himself out of this state.
Perhaps …… it is possible to move forward!
With this thought, Chen Dong lifted his foot once again and took a step forward.
As soon as his foot landed, water ripples once again rippled underneath his feet, manifesting a ghostly black lotus.
This time, Chen Dong did not stop.
One step fell, and once again, he raised his foot and took a step forward.
With every step that fell, the darkness underneath his feet rippled with water waves, manifesting an Eerie Black Lotus holding up his feet.
The front was still endless darkness.
Only a circle of ripples swirled ahead, seemingly guiding Chen Dong forward.
And as Chen Dong’s footsteps did not stop, the sinister voice seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
In the endless dark space.
It seemed that apart from the ripples in front of him and the ghostly black lotus that had manifested underneath his feet time and time again, there were no other changes at all.
Time was blurred and ignored in this endless dark space.
Chen Dong did not know how long he had been walking, he just knew to walk forwards, mechanically repeating the action of taking steps forwards.
Endless darkness and nothing else could be seen.
It seemed that an extremely long time had passed, and it seemed that only a few seconds had passed.
Suddenly.
The ripples in front of him came to an abrupt end and disappeared without a trace in thin air.
Immediately following that, the two spectral black lotuses under Chen Dong’s feet grew larger and bloomed at extreme speed.
Immediately thereafter.
The disappearing sinister voice resounded once again, but this time, it was incomparably hoarse, as if it was issued by countless gravel rubbing against the throat.
It was clearly the same person’s voice, only before and after it was completely two timbres.
“Ready, are you?”
What?
Chen Dong was creeped out, somewhat caught off guard by the sudden appearance of this voice.
Not waiting for him to respond.
Buzzing Rumble!
The two spectral black lotuses that bloomed and grew larger shook at the same time, then quickly peeled off a lotus petal and floated upwards.
The two lotus petals emitting black spectral light were erected in front of Chen Dong.
It then slowly opened.
It was like a large door that was facing Chen Dong, slowly opening.
The light was bright!
Chen Dong instantly captured the light from the gap in the “gate”.
This was also the only light that he had seen after entering this endlessly dark space.
Pale!
Pale light!
Not white light!
But again, it was white light, but it could be clearly felt that it was very different from normal white light, with an unspeakable depression and silence, even sadness.
It was as if this light had existed for ten thousand years, witnessed the changes of history, the vicissitudes of the sea, and ultimately left it alone this light.
Buzz!
As the lotus petals opened, the pale light instantly enveloped Chen Dong.
Chen Dong then felt his eyes turn white and almost subconsciously squinted.
When his eyes adjusted to the white light and opened again, everything around him changed drastically.
An endless colour of blood, churning and rising as if it was a sea of blood, churning with waves that were hundreds and thousands of feet high.
That one wave, even when it surged to the highest point, it transformed into the shape of various ferocious beasts out of thin air.
There is a back body wings of fierce tiger, there are sinuous ferocious might of the dragon, there are also three-headed giant bird ……
Everything, was extremely visually impactful.
It was as if it was a heavy hammer that ruthlessly smashed onto Chen Dong’s heart and also bombarded his soul.
“What is this?”
Chen Dong was in the sea of blood, dazed and confused and surprised.
The hoarse voice, once again, sounded, “Sea of Qi, ah, perhaps …… it will be helpful to you.”
Sea of Qi?
Chen Dong was struck by lightning.
He was certain that this was not his own Qi Sea, then whose Qi Sea was this sudden appearance?
And how could it be this bloody wave?
Buzz!
An ear-piercing powerful wind whistling suddenly resounded in his ears.
Chen Dong then felt that everything around him quickly became blurred before he was pulled by some sort of force as he quickly cruised through the sea of qi.
This oceanic blood-coloured sea of Qi was too wide, with waves of a thousand feet, towering and magnificent.
However, for some unknown reason, as he moved at high speed to patrol the Qi Sea, Chen Dong froze with an oppressive feeling.
He had personally witnessed his own Qi Sea, which was vast and expansive and towered over the nine heavens.
In comparison, this round of blood coloured Qi Sea was more like …… a flat one!
It was broad and vast horizontally, but somewhat flattened vertically.
So much so that Chen Dong even suspected that the round of blood waves that were a thousand feet tall seemed to have touched the very apex of the Qi Sea.
“See it clearly?”
A hoarse voice suddenly sounded.
It did not wait for Chen Dong to reply.
The already blurred space around him directly distorted violently, and two ghostly black lotuses once again arose under his feet.
Buzz!
A powerful wind howled.
Everything around him once again changed drastically.
It was still the colour of blood.
However, Chen Dong just felt that the oppressive flatness disappear.
And he quickly accelerated, blurring around him and patrolling his Qi Sea.
Soon, he was certain that this was another Qi Sea.
Although it was also blood-coloured, this round of Qi Sea blood colour was even more intense and calmer, and the surface of the sparkling Qi Sea no longer lifted towering waves, not to mention that it didn’t manifest all sorts of ferocious beasts.
Most crucially, that oppressive flattening had indeed disappeared, deepening vertically and being smaller horizontally than the previous blood-coloured Qi Sea.
“Are Qi Seas different from each other, even if they are actually different in size, as well as height?”
Chen Dong pondered and murmured softly.
Buzz!
The ears roared once again.
The colour of blood twisted and contracted as much as it could.
“Hiss~ Roar~”
Right in the midst of this extremely rapid contraction, a low, hoarse, aspirating hissing sound resounded violently in Chen Dong’s ears.
Chen Dong immediately felt his soul trembling.
In front of his eyes, it was blackness that could not be seen.
It was very different from the two blood-coloured Qi Seas before.
Under the boundless black shroud, that inhaling hiss was even more so as it caused Chen Dong to feel a great terror that he had never felt before.
Fierce, brutal, and crazy ……
This was his first feeling when he was in this black sea of Qi.
And this, even just now when he was in the sea of blood-coloured Qi that was tossing a thousand feet high waves, he had never felt this before.
“Whose Qi Sea is this again?”
Chen Dong could not help but feel a little puzzled.
“You, don’t you feel familiar?”
The hoarse voice carried a playful tease.
Mine?
Chen Dong froze for a moment and shook his head, “This is not my Qi Sea, but it is more like the feeling of a devil, but does a devil …… have a Qi Sea?”
He was unsure.
To be precise, it was disbelief that a devil would reach this level of possessing a Qi Sea.
When he was in the Heavenly Realm, devils were the ones that Heaven and Earth would not tolerate.
When he stepped on the heavenly path to enter the heavens, he was even tortured and punished because of his body of a great devil.
For a devil to enter the heavens was tantamount to seeking his own death, so how could he go one step further?
“No?”
The hoarse voice, teasingly smiled, “So, what do you, now, see, what is it?”
Chen Dong: “……”
He could not answer.
He did not believe that devils had Qi Seas, but now this dark space, assuming it was a Qi Sea, the fierce and brutal aura emanating from it was indeed too similar and too much like that of a great devil!
