Chapter 2099: Opportunity Beneath the Blood Sea
Chapter 2099: Chapter 2099: Opportunity Beneath the Blood Sea
"Should we take action?" Tian Qi asked.
"No rush. Ye Feng said he has a way to escape; we just need to wait. With the cycle of Heavenly Tribulation happening every month, he can break through to Heavenly Venerable within a year. If he still can’t escape, we’ll ask for help."
Zhou Yan spoke in a deep voice.
His father is the Sect Master of the Chaos Dao Sect, a powerful existence at the Peak of Dao Monarch, comparable to the Blood-Colored Ancient Tree.
If he takes action, he can save Ye Feng.
But doing so would create enmity between the Chaos Dao Sect and the Blood Moon Clan, which would be disadvantageous for the Chaos Dao Sect.
"I’ll send a message first."
For safety, Zhou Yan crushed a spirit talisman and sent a message to his sect master father.
Half a day later.
"My father responded, indicating that if Ye Feng can’t escape after advancing to the Heavenly Dao Realm, he will step in to take Ye Feng away." Zhou Yan said smilingly.
With his father taking action, the matter became much easier.
"That’s good." Tian Qi sighed in relief; he wanted to ask his own father for help, but his father was only equivalent to mid-stage Dao Monarch, which couldn’t compete with the Peak Dao Monarch strength of the Blood-Colored Ancient Tree.
Luckily, the Blood-Colored Ancient Tree couldn’t move.
Aside from the Blood-Colored Ancient Tree, the remaining Dao Monarchs of the Blood Moon Clan were just at the initial and mid-stages, equivalent to the Space Clan’s Clan Leader.
Thus, without certainty of wiping out the Space Clan, the Blood Moon Clan dared not start a war.
As for the Godly Ape Clan, though their Dao Monarchs could move around unlike the Blood-Colored Ancient Tree being confined to one place, they were also at initial and mid-stages, akin to the Space Clan.
Throughout Haizhou, there were over ten hegemon-level powers with Dao Monarchs overseeing them.
However, powers with a Peak Dao Monarch were few.
A power with a Peak Dao Monarch stationed could live uneventfully unless deliberately seeking trouble.
Under the Blood Sea.
Ye Feng was undergoing tribulation, but a giant blood-colored light sphere with a diameter of ten thousand feet restricted it, constantly striking Ye Feng’s body without affecting other areas.
"Peak of Dao Monarch, indeed very strong."
Ye Feng thought to himself.
In the Ancient City where Tian Qi and Zhou Yan were located, Radiant Daoist concealed his presence, observing the transmitted images from Ye Feng, immediately analyzing and realizing his own gap compared to the Blood-Colored Ancient Tree, thereby further consolidating his cultivation.
"Once I forge a new life-bound divine weapon and practice a top-tier divine skill, my strength at the peak of Dao Monarch would be considered top-notch."
Radiant Daoist thought to himself.
Among those he offended back then, one had a backing of a Peak Dao Monarch; once his strength improves, he might be able to seek revenge on his own.
Rumble!
Under the Blood Sea, Ye Feng was pressured to descend continuously, reaching a seabed tens of thousands of miles deep, observing the unique scenery there as the tribulation gradually faded.
Soon, he passed the second Heavenly Tribulation.
The Chaos Origin in the Three Realms Universe grew denser, with chaotic secret realms appearing in various places, making Ye Feng feel his strength has progressed further.
"I’m close to confronting an Eighth-Turn Heavenly Venerate head-on."
Ye Feng thought to himself.
Once he passes nine tribulations, he can officially break through to the Heavenly Dao Realm and evolve the Three Realms Universe into a Chaos Three Lives Universe, allowing him to navigate the Heavenly Dao Realm.
Pop!
As Ye Feng concluded his tribulation, the giant blood-colored light sphere suddenly contracted into a cocoon less than two meters in diameter, encompassing Ye Feng, pressing him deep into a trench, buried under countless massive stones.
Thump, thump, thump!
He attacked with all his might but couldn’t break open the cocoon, reminiscent of Radiant Daoist’s prior suppression in the Cosmic Sea.
"Radiant Daoist, familiar?"
Ye Feng transmitted through the Void Heavenly World, sending the surrounding images over.
In the Ancient City.
Radiant Daoist clenched his fist, showing hatred and murderous intent, transmitting, "Very familiar, indeed! Back then, the backing of those enemies seemed to be this Peak Dao Monarch Blood-Colored Ancient Tree!"
"What a coincidence, our enemies turn out to be the same." Ye Feng said.
"Sect Leader, why not request that great being’s intervention? A mere thought from him could kill the Blood-Colored Ancient Tree remotely."
Radiant Daoist started suggesting bad ideas.
Ye Feng shook his head, transmitting, "He won’t intervene; I must grow on my own."
"But, being trapped under the Blood Sea, can you escape?" Radiant Daoist worried.
"Escape? That’s easy enough!"
Ye Feng grinned, disappeared, returning to the Three Realms Universe, cutting off the footage from above the Ancient City, making everyone think he was suppressed.
In fact, on the Shenzhou Continent.
Ye Feng appeared here, then walked toward a Door of the Outer Realm.
The next moment.
At some place within the Blood Sea, Ye Feng emerged from there, covered by blood seaweed, unknown to anyone there stood a Door of the Outer Realm.
This was left by Ye Feng privately when entering the Blood Sea.
He easily creates Doors of the Outer Realm.
Casually tossing a stone on the ground can evolve into a Door of the Outer Realm, allowing entry and exit from the Three Realms Universe.
With this, he escaped.
Very easily.
Whoosh!
Ye Feng carried the Door of the Outer Realm, delving into the Blood Sea, placing it deep on the seabed, obscuring it with various natural prohibitions for future use.
Then, he wandered along the seabed.
The Blood-Colored Ancient Tree was strong, a Peak Dao Monarch, but it couldn’t always monitor the entire Blood Sea, unaware Ye Feng had escaped and was treasure hunting on the seabed.
Deep beneath a sea territory.
Ye Feng observed a blood coral about ten thousand feet tall, containing Coral Heart Crystals within, rich in Origin Substance and array patterns, useful for alchemy to aid Heavenly Venerates in breakthrough.
"Great, it’s mine now."
Ye Feng directly excavated the whole blood coral, storing it in the Shenzhou Continent of the Three Realms Universe.
After a while.
Ye Feng discovered a seven-colored shell with a diameter of several hundred meters, he entered, defeated the guardian, and acquired a Heavenly Venerable-level treasure bead to enhance his physique.
"Tut tut tut, the Blood Sea has an abundance of treasures!"
Ye Feng eagerly ransacked treasures, boundlessly delighted, even excavating an Origin Stone vein, gathering over three hundred million pounds of fine Origin Stone.
"Blood Moon Clan, eh? Your treasures now belong to me!"
Ye Feng laughed heartily.
At this moment, he cast the Law of Chaos, appearing and sensing like a Sea Demon, plus everyone believed Ye Feng was suppressed by the Blood-Colored Ancient Tree, none suspected this Sea Demon would be Ye Feng.
Deep beneath a sea territory.
The transformed Sea Demon Ye Feng was treasure hunting, suddenly detecting multiple figures approaching, quickly hiding.
"Did you hear? A Dao Monarch within our clan seems to be having a birthday soon; all clans in the Blood Sea are preparing gifts to present to him!"
"What should we prepare?"
"Let’s fetch a branch of the Blood Sea Ancient Tree. We are Tree Ancestor’s clansmen and can surely acquire some branches through prayer for gifts."
"Alright."
The group of Sea Demons quickly flew by.
Hidden in the shadows, Ye Feng heard, his eyes filled with excitement.
"I can intercept the birthday gifts!"
"Haha, watch them get infuriated!"
Ye Feng grinned.
The Blood Sea was vast, albeit not as huge as the Cosmic Sea, yet it split into numerous small powers, each a branch of the Blood Moon Clan, each with a Heavenly Venerable guarding it.
Their wealth was considerable.
Ye Feng prepared to intercept one by one, waiting for that Dao Monarch to receive the empty gift boxes, afraid he would be hopping mad.
In a small clan within the Blood Sea.
Ye Feng sneaked in here, with just a sweep of Divine Sense, he knew there was only one Third Turn Heavenly Venerable here, so he stealthily emptied the prepared gift boxes without anyone noticing.
Soon after, he went to another place.
In just a few days, Ye Feng had looted hundreds of gift boxes prepared by dozens of branches.
In a certain sea area.
Ye Feng sat on a reef, holding a blood-red tree branch in his hand, feeling the rich vitality contained inside, it was a branch of the Blood-Colored Ancient Tree.
A small clan offered numerous treasures in sacrifice to get the Blood-Colored Ancient Tree to grant this branch.
Now, Ye Feng had taken it away.
"With this item, I can continuously analyze the weaknesses of the Blood-Colored Ancient Tree, and one day, when I develop a powerful curse Divine Skill, I can start with this branch and curse the Blood-Colored Ancient Tree in advance. During the battle, she won’t be at her peak, and I and the Radiant Daoist can succeed."
Ye Feng secretly planned.
Days later.
An island in the Blood Sea.
Here, only hundreds of millions of miles away from the Blood-Colored Ancient Tree, a hegemon at the early Dao Monarch Realm resided discreetly, today was his birthday celebration, all clans came to pay respects.
"Congratulations Dao Monarch, congratulations Dao Monarch!"
Even the Clan Leader and Great Elder of the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan came to congratulate, bringing numerous gift boxes.
Other branches of the Blood Moon Clan also sent people.
For a moment, the island was abuzz.
"Hmm, I appreciate your kind intentions." An elder in a blood robe sat in his seat, waved, and those beside him began to have the guests open the gift boxes one by one.
Then, everyone was dumbfounded.
Including the gift boxes prepared by the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan, all the guests’ gift boxes on site were unexpectedly empty!
"Are you all conspiring to trick me?"
The Blood Robe Dao Monarch slapped the armrest in anger.
He holds a celebration once every ten thousand years, and all clans send gifts, including Supreme Treasures, even Dao Monarchs send disciples to congratulate.
But this time, all the gift boxes were empty.
It’s simply... intolerable!
The Blood Robe Dao Monarch suddenly stood up, a terrifying pressure swept across the entire island, forcing thousands of guests who came to congratulate to the ground, shaking in fear.
"Ancestors, we’re innocent!"
"Ancestors, we clearly prepared generous gifts, but who knew they all disappeared."
"Surely, someone stole them!"
Everyone hurriedly pleaded.
The Blood Robe Dao Monarch’s face darkened, sensing something odd about the situation, retracted his aura, allowing everyone to stand up, still trembling.
"Who dares to steal from our Blood Moon Clan?"
The Blood Robe Dao Monarch slapped the armrest angrily.
"It must be Ye Feng!" someone said, from the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan, it was the Clan Leader.
"Bang!"
The Blood Robe Dao Monarch slapped the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan Leader away; his cheek swollen high.
"You fool! Ye Feng is already suppressed by the Blood Sea Ancient Tree’s Ancestor, how could he escape to steal?"
After being scolded, the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan Leader covered his cheek, with blood oozing from his mouth, not daring to utter a word.
"Could he have already escaped?"
The Great Elder of the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan tentatively asked.
Bam!
The Blood Robe Dao Monarch slapped out again, the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan Great Elder was also sent flying, and fell to the ground beside the Clan Leader, rubbing his cheek, feeling internally wounded.
"Idiots, are all of you in the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan idiots? Just Ye Feng, a mere Quasi-Heavenly Venerable, dares escape the seal of the Blood Sea Ancient Tree?"
The Blood Robe Dao Monarch cursed.
Countless years ago, a blood moon descended from the heavens, landing in this area, subsequently evolving into a vast Blood Sea, and growing into a Blood-Colored Ancient Tree.
This ancient tree kept growing, eventually reaching over billions of miles in height, becoming a Dao Monarch at peak.
The Blood Sea, meanwhile, kept expanding annually.
As for the Blood Robe Dao Monarch and others, they were all nurtured by the Blood-Colored Ancient Tree, considered her descendants, having innate reverence and protection for her.
He won’t allow anyone to challenge the Blood-Colored Ancient Tree!
"But, Ye Feng is rather odd, is there possibly a slight chance he’s escaped? If not, then who took the gifts?"
A clan leader spoke softly.
He was also a Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable at peak, slightly stronger than the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan Leader.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
The Blood Robe Dao Monarch waved his hand, not giving the murmuring clan leader a slap.
Seeing this, the Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan Leader and Great Elder exchanged looks, internally disgruntled, unsure why the Blood Robe Dao Monarch didn’t hit the clan leader.
"Forget it, your presence at my birthday celebration makes me happy, but since even the gifts are missing, let’s end this, dismiss!"
The Blood Robe Dao Monarch waved his hand, seeing off the guests.
Soon, everyone dispersed.
No one knew that the person who stole the gifts was Ye Feng, disguised as a sea demon.
He had long since escaped.
Below the Blood Sea.
Ye Feng arrived here, seeing the countless thick roots embedded in the earth, all belonging to the Blood-Colored Ancient Tree, able to absorb the Origin from the earth.
"Let’s see how I chop you!"
Ye Feng struck with a sword, but was bounced off by the root system, unable to break through the defense.
"Wow, it’s so hard?"
Ye Feng was shocked, knowing through deduction that at least late Dao Monarch level power was needed to break through the Blood-Colored Ancient Tree’s roots.
"I’ll have to wait to chop the tree later."
Ye Feng thought, flying towards another place, finding more Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, all collected.
However, most treasures in the Blood Sea had been occupied by the Blood Robe Dao Monarch and others.
To obtain them, he would have to raid their treasure vaults.
"Since I’m here, I might as well do something big, directly raid those Dao Monarchs’ treasure vaults."
Ye Feng grinned.
Half a day later.
The secluded island of the Blood Robe Dao Monarch.
Ye Feng used the Law of Chaos to transform into a two-meter-tall sea demon, blended in with the island’s group, quickly identifying the Blood Robe Dao Monarch’s place of treasures.
It was a medicine garden.
Inside were countless Eternal Divine Medicines, the garden also contained an altar, stacked with various temporarily unused Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, including special Immortal Gold, various Origin Substance crystals, and Spirit Medicine Seeds.
"All mine now!"
Ye Feng entered the medicine garden, pretending to fertilize the Spiritual Medicine, taking the opportunity to get close to the altar, ready to secretly breach the restriction and take the treasures.
But just at that moment.
A massive pressure fell, tightly pinning Ye Feng on the spot, unable to move.
"Damn it, I’ve been discovered!"
Ye Feng was shocked, his gaze shifted, seeing the Blood Robe Dao Monarch already standing not far away, coldly staring at him.
