Chapter 575: Sunburst Sea! The Confrontation of the Mighty!
Chapter 575: Sunburst Sea! The Confrontation of the Mighty!
Ancient, decaying mountains and valleys passed beneath them as Qin Zheng followed the Ancestral Demon, riding the Serene Spirit Lotus deeper into the Ancient Realm.
Even a mere fragment of this realm was far vaster than the Chaos Sea, so despite their considerable speed, it took some time to reach the Legacy Land.
Just as a cool sea breeze blew from the distant horizon, a faint blue light appeared in the far distance. Moments later, an endless expanse of the sea came into Qin Zheng's view.
Simultaneously, dozens of towering silhouettes gradually materialized over the sea, their immense auras surging, as if they could lift the entire ocean.
The moment Qin Zheng saw the sea, the first image that flashed through his mind was Hou Shisan's arrow evaporating the sea and shattering the great sun.
This is that sea.
Qin Zheng's eyes flickered. Raising his gaze, he saw the dozens of towering silhouettes. Each of these beings was a powerhouse in the Nine Realms, a mighty figure in the Ancient Realm!
As the Ancestral Demon stepped into the sea, the dozens of silhouettes all turned their attention to him, and then to Qin Zheng, who was behind the Ancestral Demon.
The combined gaze of dozens of Ancient Realm powerhouses made Qin Zheng feel a heavy pressure, as if he were being weighed down by a massive weight that kept increasing, threatening to crush him.
But in the next instant, the Serene Spirit Lotus emitted a brighter light, dispelling the oppressive weight, and Qin Zheng instantly felt a sense of relief.
The Ancestral Demon let out a light snort, flicked his sleeves, and took a step forward. His originally hunched form straightened instantly, and his withered, aged body quickly became robust.
In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a towering, muscular man with two horns on his forehead, radiating overwhelming killing intent and bloodthirstiness, causing the clouds and sea to churn and dispersing the dozens of powerful silhouettes.
After this commotion, Qin Zheng's gaze shifted, and he saw the light change. A Floating Island appeared on the azure sea, with dozens of figures standing on it.
The first to catch Qin Zheng's attention was a figure in a robe, smiling gently. It was none other than Buddha Ancestor, one of the top Beyonds from the Thirty-Three Heavens!
When Qin Zheng's gaze met his, Buddha Ancestor, as if he had seen him long ago, smiled and looked back.
Around Buddha Ancestor were over a dozen other figures, who, like him, glanced past the Ancestral Demon and focused on Qin Zheng, standing atop the Serene Spirit Lotus.
These were the powerhouses who had transcended from the Chaos Ocean and joined forces to enter the Nine Continents!
Qin Zheng realized this and then glanced at the other side of the Floating Island, where he saw dozens of figures with surging auras, the same ones that had appeared in the sky earlier.
These were the remaining powerhouses from the Nine Continents, possessing diluted Ancient Race bloodlines. Although they had been eroded by Curse Power, they managed to remain clear-headed.
As the Ancestral Demon and Qin Zheng landed on the Floating Island, one of the Nine Provinces powerhouses with diluted Ancient Race bloodlines sneered, "I wondered who you went to seek help from."
"Who would have thought you brought a mere worm, not even fully formed in the Ancient Realm. But then again, what kind of help could you lowly, inferior beings possibly find?"
This remark elicited laughter from the Nine Provinces side.
The Ancestral Demon's eyes flashed with cold light, and his killing intent intensified tenfold. But before he could act, a red-haired, red-eyed powerhouse standing near Buddha Ancestor took a step forward.
"You foul beast, unable to speak human words, you deserve a beating!"
He took a step forward and approached the Nine Provinces expert. With a single touch on the other's chest, a burst of red light exploded, and the two figures vanished from the Floating Island.
But then,
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Intense explosions echoed from a distance.
Two towering figures, standing as tall as the heavens, clashed fiercely over the boundless ocean. The essence of this Ancient Realm fragment was extremely high, capable of withstanding even the battle between two Divine Ancient Realm beings without causing any disturbance to the fragment itself.
The intense battle between the two experts drew the attention of most of the powerful figures on the Floating Island, especially those from the Nine Provinces side. After sensing Qin Zheng's Beyond-the-Shore Grade aura, they lost interest.
Even if there was something unusual about Qin Zheng, he was still merely a Beyond Realm cultivator, a mere ant that could be killed with a thought, not worth their attention.
Qin Zheng maintained a calm expression, his gaze fixed on the two Ling Gu experts battling at the horizon. He only averted his eyes when he reached the Buddha Ancestor.
In his inner world, the Skin-Scroll Scripture emitted a brilliant Buddha Light, as if it were about to burst out of Qin Zheng's inner world and return to its original form. However, the Buddha Ancestor smiled, and the Skin-Scroll Scripture's transformation halted, gradually falling back into silence.
"Junior Qin Zheng greets the Buddha Ancestor!"
Qin Zheng first bowed to the Buddha Ancestor, then looked around and bowed again, saying, "Greetings to all the seniors!"
The crowd's expressions varied, with some showing skepticism, but most returned Qin Zheng's greeting with a warm smile, their attitudes generally friendly.
Qin Zheng didn't mind. Upon arriving, he noticed that the Floating Island was where everyone stood, and there was no sign of the Legacy Land. He had a vague guess about the situation.
These Ancient Realm experts, some of whom were Shen Gu level, were still inferior to jigu dao-soldiers. They could sense the location of the Legacy Land but couldn't enter it.
From the Nine Provinces expert's mention of 'bringing reinforcements,' it seemed both sides were employing various methods to find a way into the Legacy Land.
The reason he had come here was that Tao Te Tianzun had sensed his descent and sent an ancestral demon to guide him to this ancient realm fragment.
So, did Tao Te Tianzun believe that he had a way to enter the Legacy Land?
Qin Zheng's thoughts raced, piecing together the clues and reasoning about the current situation and his position.
However, Tao Te Tianzun was nowhere to be seen.
Qin Zheng's gaze swept over the crowd of experts on the Floating Island.
Was it because Tao Te Tianzun, having reached the Dao Gu Realm, was among the top experts of the Nine Continents and needed to stand against other top experts, unable to easily reveal himself?
Just as he was pondering, the Buddha Ancestor spoke up, "Young friend, you have traveled a long distance. It is unfair to involve you in this matter and expose you to the Nine Provinces, but..."
His voice paused for a moment, then he continued with a hint of helplessness, "But this ancient realm fragment is no ordinary place. It may hold the key to solving the Ancient Race's curse. We simply cannot afford to let it go." (End of Chapter)
