Chapter 1446 Bizarre Outer Sea



1446 Bizarre Outer Sea

....

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


The sky wasn’t completely dark this time.


The blood cloud became a source of light, scattering redness in the surroundings.


Xu Qing and Erniu stood in the clouds, looking at the sea while listening to Jade Flowing Dust.


On the surface of the sea, black and purple fused together, forming an endless long line.


It was like a dividing line that divided the Forbidden Sea into the inner and outer.


The inner sea, while dangerous, was relatively manageable.


Regardless of whether it was the Yinghuang Province, the Nanhuang Continent, the Southern Isle Region, or the countless islands on the sea, they had already explored a large part of the inner sea in the past tens of thousands of years.


Based on the cultivation bases, the range of exploration was also different. However, with the efforts of generations, the inner sea… could no longer be considered mysterious to a certain extent.


However, in the outer sea… even when the Sun and Moon were patrolling the world, it was still a forbidden place for all living beings.


There were extremely few who were qualified to enter it.


If one’s cultivation didn’t reach a certain level and they forcefully stepped over, it wouldn’t be long before their bodies and souls were destroyed.


In fact, most of the time, they would not even know how they died.


Moreover, Crown Prince Golden Crow and Robin had fallen for tens of thousands of years, so the outer sea had no sun or moon, causing it to be engulfed in darkness all year round.


Those who could check its situation became even fewer.


Mystery and the unknown became the main theme in the outer sea.


Jade Flowing Dust’s introduction of the outer sea removed the first veil of the outer sea, but there were still endless secrets under this veil.


It was endlessly deep.


Erniu fell silent. It was unknown what he was thinking but his gaze carried a hint of complexity as he looked at the outer sea.


As for Xu Qing, he had a myriad of thoughts in his mind.


What Jade Flowing Dust said about the outer sea, combined with what he had seen from inside the dragon carriage and the inheritance he had obtained, made him aware that what the other party said was most likely true.


‘The history of the outer sea is even older than the Brilliant Heaven God Race…’


‘The Brilliant Heaven God Race came from the outer sea…’


‘In that case, what exactly is the origin of this outer sea?’


A guess rose in Xu Qing’s mind. He raised his head and looked at the fragmented-face of the god floating high in the sky outside Wanggu.


‘Why… did He come to Wanggu?’


This question had been lingering in the minds of all living beings for tens of thousands of years and there was no answer.


At that moment, just as Xu Qing was making guesses, Jade Flowing Dust took a deep breath and spoke softly.


“Can you smell it?”


Xu Qing nodded.


It was the smell of blood.


It drifted over from the outer sea… To be precise, this was the smell of the outer sea.


It was similar to the fishy smell in the inner sea but its essence was completely different.


“Actually, before Father descended, the color of this outer sea was like this. Black was the divine aura of the Brilliant Heaven God Race and it was mixed with the blood of unknown existences. Hence… it caused the color of the sea to turn purple.”


“After Father descended, His divine aura enveloped the world and invaded the outer sea. Hence… the divine aura here, which is the anomalous substances you cultivators speak of, is even more mixed and extremely dense.”


“Thus forming such a beautiful smell.”


“This reminds me of a legend that circulated in all the star rings.”


Jade Flowing Dust took another deep breath, appreciating the smell of the outer sea. A strange glint appeared in His eyes.


When the words He said landed in Xu Qing and Erniu’s ears, they couldn’t help but look at each other. After that, Xu Qing spoke in a low voice.


“I wonder what the legend Senior mentioned is?”


Jade Flowing Dust cast a meaningful glance at Xu Qing. He looked at the vast fragmented-face hanging high in the sky, speaking calmly.


“That’s the legend of Father God.”


Jade Flowing Dust clearly didn’t want to talk about the specifics of this legend. At this moment, He waved His right hand. Immediately, the red cloud He was in spread toward the boundary of the inner and outer seas.


At the next instant, the red cloud swept Xu Qing and Erniu across the boundary of black and purple.


They had truly stepped into the outer sea!


Here, the red cloud didn’t continue forward but rapidly dissipated.


At the same time, Jade Flowing Dust’s voice arrived.


“You guys will have to move here on your own and move as far into the depths of the outer sea as possible.”


“There’s no need for you to do anything else. Just by appearing here, you are already baits.”


As the voice rang out, there was also a repulsive force that pushed Xu Qing and Erniu’s figures out of the dissipating red cloud.


They landed on the purple sea.


In that instant, Xu Qing’s old hag-like great wing appeared and landed on the surface of the sea.


If it was the inner sea, the descent of the great wing would definitely cause a huge commotion.


However, in the outer sea, even if it was only the edge, the seawater was clearly more viscous. Hence, the waves were so faint that they couldn’t be seen. If one didn’t take a closer look, they wouldn’t be able to discover the waves at all.


The entire surface of the sea was like stagnant water, motionless.


It was the same for the great wing on it.


Xu Qing and Erniu, who were standing on the great wing, felt the heaviness of the outer sea. While they maintained their vigilance, the mystery from the outer sea transformed into an inexplicable pressure. Accompanied by a terrifying aura, it mixed with unknown substances, forming an invisible mental storm that surged toward them.


Xu Qing’s body trembled and Erniu’s breathing became hurried.


At this moment, they both felt their souls trembling.


An intense palpitation rose uncontrollably in their hearts and spread throughout their bodies.


This feeling reminded Xu Qing of his first experience going out to sea in the Seven Blood Eyes.


At that time, to him, the inner sea was mysterious but also endlessly dangerous.


Just like now.


It was only after a long time that the two of them got used to it. After looking at each other, Erniu sighed.


“I thought He was going to bring us straight to our destination and then lure His target. I didn’t expect… to be set loose immediately.”


Erniu felt a little helpless. He felt that this god was somewhat lazy. It was fine if He used him and Little Qing to fish, but He let the baits run by themselves.


“I can tell that He’s not a professional.”


Erniu squatted down and looked at the purple seawater in the surroundings.


After some thought, Xu Qing still reminded him.


“Eldest Senior Brother, I roughly saw some aspects of the outer sea from the Golden Crow Dragon Carriage. There are too many terrifying things in this place, so you… shouldn’t court death.”


When Erniu heard this, he was instantly unhappy.


“Little Qing, how can you say that about your Eldest Senior Brother? Those words are too hurtful. I’m a person who never courts death. Otherwise, how could I still be alive and well?”


Erniu was dissatisfied.


Xu Qing didn’t say anything and only calmly looked at Erniu.


Under his gaze, Erniu slowly felt a little guilty. In the end, he coughed.


“Alright, alright. I won’t court death!”


Xu Qing nodded. He performed a series of hand seals; immediately, the defense of the great wing was activated. Under his spell, the special great wing that looked like an old woman rumbled as it slowly moved forward.


Time flowed by and three days passed.


During these three days, there was no distinction between day and night in the outer sea. It was always pitch-black.


Moreover, it was quiet.


The sound of the waves rarely appeared, causing one to have the illusion that they weren’t at sea.


However, the humidity from the seawater and the increasingly intense stench of blood constantly reminded Xu Qing that this place… was indeed the outer sea.


The great wing was also affected. Regardless of whether it was in the inner sea or the Wanggu, this huge ship showcased powerful defense, but in just three days in the outer sea, its surface was covered in a layer of purple fog.


A sense of corrosion gradually appeared.


After sensing carefully, Xu Qing and Erniu’s expressions turned solemn.


It was a kind of corrosion that appeared with the flow of time.


“This outer sea is indeed strange. Not only is it pitch-black and quiet, but the anomalous substances are also denser and more mixed. The effect on external objects is clearly more bizarre… What it displayed on this great wing in just three days is as though a thousand years have passed.”


Erniu took a deep breath and raised his hand to touch the mist on the surface of the great wing.


Xu Qing’s expression was solemn. Just as he was about to speak, he looked into the distance.


The captain also sensed something and looked over.


With their cultivation bases, although their vision wasn’t completely clear in the dark outer sea, they could still make out outlines. At that moment, they had already noticed the item floating on the surface of the sea in front of them.


There were some irregular rocks.


They were dilapidated and floated on the surface of the sea, as though they couldn’t be sunk.


Each of them emitted an ancient aura, as though they had witnessed endless time.


Xu Qing had seen a similar scene from the dragon carriage before. He knew that many areas on the surface of the outer sea were littered with floating ruins, which shouldn’t have been too serious. However, at this moment, a gloomy light appeared in his eyes.


“Eldest Senior Brother, something’s wrong…”


As Xu Qing spoke, he walked to the edge of the great wing and looked in the direction of the rocks. His divine source gathered in his eyes and he looked over.


On the pitch-black surface of the sea, behind the rocks, there were ruins.


It was like a city had collapsed and shattered, spreading broken walls and ruins on the sea. The range wasn’t small.


In the center, there was a tilted ruined temple!


On the ruined temple, there was actually a young figure!


It was a little girl dressed in ancient clothing, sitting on the broken wall of a temple, barefoot, with its legs swinging up and down, seemingly very happy.


Its mouth was open, looking like she was singing, but there was no sound.


The only exception was the numerous ghostly shadows, so many that it was astonishing, densely surrounding it as if worshiping it.


The instant he saw this little girl, Xu Qing’s heart trembled. A chill rose from the bottom of his heart for some reason.


That was an instinct that came from his soul, revealing intense signs of danger!


Erniu also used his own method to see this scene. His pupils suddenly constricted and he gasped.


“What the hell is it?”


“It doesn’t look like a ghost, a god, or a cultivator. This thing doesn’t even have the aura of death on it. No, there’s no aura at all!”


“Could this be the god Jade Flowing Dust is fishing?”


“But I feel like this thing is even more terrifying than the Jade Flowing Dust!”


Erniu’s breathing was hurried. His intuition had always been accurate. At this moment, there was clearly a danger that surpassed Jade Flowing Dust and was rising rapidly.


“Little Qing… Do you think that guy, Jade Flowing Dust, might end up baiting a shark while fishing and get himself killed?”


Erniu trembled and quickly transmitted his voice to Xu Qing. Xu Qing’s expression was solemn as he controlled the great wing he was on, preparing to circle around this range.


However, at this moment, the little girl sitting on the ruined temple suddenly turned its head and looked at them with its pitch-black eyes.


Its lips curled up into a smile.


At the next instant… Xu Qing’s heart trembled. The divine source that gathered in his eyes instantly collapsed. Even his vision disappeared and turned black, directly losing his sight.


At the same time, he felt his back turn cold, as though there was something lying on his back.


Immediately after, a tender voice rang out clearly from behind him, as though it was stuck to his ear.


“Little brother, don’t go any further. Ahead is the end of the sea and the end of life..”
