Chapter 237: Blood-Stained Azure Sea

Chapter 237: Blood-Stained Azure Sea

One of the Ten Ancient Fiends, the Kunpeng, had its ancient nest suddenly appear, stretching out before them. The breathtaking sight left everyone in shock and trembling.

A desolate cliff stood in the sea, enormous beyond imagination. The Kunpeng's nest was built atop it, remaining hidden in the vast ocean since ancient times, its unparalleled divine abilities unseen by anyone.

The sea surface had turned red, littered with numerous corpses from various races. The cries of battle shook the heavens, as the supreme treasures of the Kunpeng were about to be revealed and elites from all races emerged.

"Lightning Hound, dare you kill my descendants!" A thunderous roar echoed as a blue bird flapped its wings, creating gale-force winds that stirred the azure waves.

A large blue bird, a descendant of the divine Qingluan, descended from the sky, its entire body glowing and radiant. As it dived down, the ocean surged and the waters boiled, showcasing its immense power and terror.

Up close, a giant glowing dog surged with lightning across the sea, smashing one Qingluan descendant after another, refining their blood to replenish itself.

In the forbidden sea, fluctuations appeared from time to time, suppressing the cultivators’ power and causing them to expend great amounts of divine energy. Those beyond the Spirit Transformation realm found it particularly difficult, needing to replenish vast amounts of vitality and energy.

The blue bird dove down, and a dazzling blade of light slashed through, causing the ocean to explode. The endless waters steamed and vanished under the force of the attack.

Yet, the Lightning Hound was equally astonishing. With a roar, it unleashed a bolt of lightning that engulfed the Qingluan bird.

The place was filled with lightning and blades of light, with blood spattering and feathers flying. Both sides suffered injuries.

At the same time, deep in the ocean, a colossal life form seemed to be breathing, resonating with the entire world, causing ripples to spread through the void.

“This is bad, another wave is coming!” Many beings cried out.

Ordinary beings fared somewhat better, but those beyond the Spirit Transformation realm turned pale. They rapidly ascended, fleeing the battlefield in search of a tranquil place to secure a favorable position.

This kind of fluctuation was a suppression that dragged them down from higher realms, making it extremely dangerous for these powerful beings who could not transcend the Spirit Transformation realm.

Indeed, some strong beings were attacked after being suppressed by this fluctuation. A group of sea demons appeared, leaping into the air to hunt down and kill the weakened strong individuals.

“Pfft.”

The blue bird and the Lightning Hound both met their end, surrounded by thousands of sea demons. It was truly like ants killing an elephant, with blood spilling and them being butchered in mid-air.

Similar scenes played out across various locations. The sea was drenched in red, with bodies floating and a ghastly sight unfolding.

Finally, the suppression dissipated, and another storm passed.

“Roar!”

In the distance, a “Nine-Headed Lion” roared, opening its massive bloody mouth. With nine heads raised high, it shook the heavens. Its entire body radiated golden light, and it inhaled, drawing the sea demons swirling into its mouth.

This display of power stunned many beings, causing them to tremble in fear.

“Could this be the Nine Spirit King?” Shi Hao, standing on a ghostly ship, watched from afar in astonishment. His sworn brother was a Nine-Headed Lion, and his grandfather was known as the Nine Spirit King.

Nearby, a giant fish leaped from the sea, glowing purple like a divine mountain, also swallowing many beings in one gulp.

This was a counterattack from a powerful being beyond the Spirit Transformation realm. Being killed by lower-level beings was a great shame, but this place was unique. With the fluctuations of the Kunpeng’s nest, various changes occurred, constantly suppressing cultivators' power.

The number of corpses on the sea increased, with blood staining the surface.

“Roar!” The Nine-Headed Lion roared loudly, and eventually charged into the distance, leaving behind a blaze of golden light. It fled, fearing death in this place.

In fact, some other powerful beings also retreated, no longer daring to take risks. Some moved back and left the battlefield.

However, there were still mixed entities in the sea, with powerful beings beyond the Spirit Transformation realm continuing to roam. For the sake of the Kunpeng’s treasures, they risked their lives, attempting to approach the ancient nest.

Indeed, there were even venerables and supreme beings among the vast ocean, secretly infiltrating the area.

Shi Hao felt a surge of excitement and observed carefully, but did not act recklessly. The danger here was extreme, with many formidable figures in hiding.

“Boom!”

The waves roared, and the sea surface裂开，露出一条灰色的山岭，巨大的有点吓人，海中的许多生灵都颤栗，迅速逃亡。

而后，那山岭浮出水面的部分越来越大，简直像是一块大陆，壮阔无比。

“天啊这是一头古蛟”

“它是蛟尊者”

许多生灵惊呼，各个种族，无论海洋中的还是陆地上的，全都颤栗，因为他们知道来者是谁，为一方至强者。

蛟尊者，其威名震动这方海域，与海魔尊者一样，统御一方，就是海神岛的生灵都要忌惮一二分。

蛟尊者亲临，强大无比，即便被压制了境界，光凭其肉身也足以横扫这里，怎不让人惊呼。

轰

天地炸开，黑雾滔天，一只巨大的魔禽横空而来，压盖满了海面，直接就要向着那宏大的枯崖俯冲。

“吞天雀，它还没死”石昊吃惊，眼睛睁的很大，充满了恨与怒，补天阁毁灭与其有直接关系。

若非是它与穷奇，神藤不会战死，而那些教门也不敢来攻打。

鬼爷出手后虽然斩落它的翅膀，又剁下了它的爪子，但显然没有将它真正击杀，依旧被它逃走了。

此时再现，有惊天动地之威势，宛若一头鲲鹏般，同为鸟类，它对枯崖上的宝术最为渴望。

“咚”

海中，一条巨大的蛟身出现，浪涛无尽，海域沸腾，溅起的水花都将云朵震散了，可见其威势多么的恐怖。

很多生灵都被浪涛拍飞，难以在这个地方立足，唯有那枯崖巍峨，难以撼动，且水浪不能接近，难以淹它。

灰蛟不是冲着其他生灵，而是向吞天雀攻杀，要将它赶走，不想让其染指这海中的神崖，它想独战宝术。

“轰”

两个生灵激战，符文如雷海，惊天动地，将这片海域都打的近乎干涸，化成无尽水汽。

“果然出了问题，超越化灵境的强者也能进来。这可真是糟糕。”石昊遗憾。

突然，那古老的崖壁发光，像是有所感应，散发出一道又一道金色的涟漪，很轻柔，于虚空中蔓延。

吞天雀惊叫，翎羽纷飞，鲜血洒落，它极速冲起。浑身剧震，冲向远方。

同一时间，那灰蛟沉入海中，让那里出现一个巨大的漩涡，留下一缕血。它也遁走了，因为方才受到了可怕的压制。

这个地方强者林立，像蛟尊者、吞天雀这样的生灵肯定不止一两头，为了鲲鹏宝术不惜以命来搏。

总的来说，荒域要乱了，将有大事件发生，这些至强者都在寻觅。欲得鲲鹏宝术，用以强壮己身。

海面平静了，海水发红，尸体成片。其他生灵再次涌来，只是不知道还有多少极强的人隐伏、依旧未退。

Moments later, the sea boiled once more. Many beings surged forward, yet they could never get closer to the desolate cliff. The Kunpeng’s nest seemed within reach but remained perpetually distant, like a mirage.

The ghostly ship continued its journey, with Shi Hao seated in meditation, observing quietly. Whenever conflicting races encountered each other in this sea, it was always a fight to the death, with the cries of battle shaking the heavens.

Most were powerful races; ordinary, weaker races did not have the qualifications to come here.

Of course, the sea was dominated by its own beings, making up ninety percent of the forces. Whenever a race appeared, it would be in the thousands, resulting in a massive, sky-splitting battle.

“Why is it so strange?” Shi Hao wondered.

Three days passed in a row, witnessing numerous bloody battles along the way. Even his ghostly ship faced several attacks, and countless corpses littered the sea.

Yet, people still could not approach the ancient divine cliff.

It appeared so close, so clear from a distance. The Kunpeng’s nest hung from the cliff, releasing streams of chaotic energy, yet it was impossible to truly ascend or get close.

Eventually, after half a month of warfare and conflict among the races—some seeking revenge, others aiming to gain advantage and eliminate competitors—hope finally emerged.

After traveling for half a month, the ancient cliff wall suddenly grew vast and towering, covered with claw marks and sword scars, bearing the traces of countless ages.

A stone staircase stretched out in the sea, leading to the cliff.

This staircase was immense and awe-inspiring, boundless in its expanse. It could accommodate countless troops ascending simultaneously without any crowding.

Such a grand project was breathtaking in its magnificence and scale.

Even though everyone could ascend and walk side by side, there were still fierce battles. After the strong races reached the top, many continued to fight, leaving numerous corpses behind.

“This doesn’t look like a sea cliff anymore; up close and after ascending, it resembles a vast land,” Shi Hao marveled. This was clearly the work of the ancient Kunpeng.

He restrained himself from ascending and observed from the nearby sea. Other powerful races had protectors like venerables and even mingled among the crowds. If he acted recklessly, he could easily fall into danger alone.

Days passed, and the fluctuations on the cliff grew more frequent, eventually merging into a continuous wave of ripples that swept across the entire area.

This indicated that those beyond the Spirit Transformation realm were experiencing severe suppression and trouble. Despite ascending the staircase for several days, no bad news had yet emerged.

The young warriors could no longer sit still and were eager to act; otherwise, they might end up with nothing.

“Since the supreme beings have retreated, we can act now,” someone whispered in the distance. Many beings with similar thoughts appeared in a new wave, climbing the staircase in groups.

“Be careful. I’ve heard that some venerables are taking risks, ignoring their safety, and mingling in the crowd to enter the Kunpeng’s nest.”

“What? Have they gone mad? How difficult it is to cultivate to that level, enduring long years of hardship to reach the pinnacle. If they fall here due to suppressed cultivation, wouldn’t it be a tragic waste?”

“The treasures of the Ten Ancient Fiends are too powerful to surpass. Securing even one would grant the qualification to vie for supremacy. Even the mighty become desperate.”

Many beings discussed, the atmosphere tense.

Shi Hao, hearing this, suppressed his inner impulse and remained calm. He decided to wait for the fluctuations on the cliff to merge into a single entity. At that point, when the supreme suppression was fully formed, it would be safer for him to enter.

After two more days, the conditions were met. The fluctuations intensified, and ripples in the void spread, thoroughly suppressing the area.

During this time, he saw many terrestrial beings. Several groups of pure-blooded creatures, all extraordinarily powerful, ascended the staircase with the company of divine servants.

“That’s from the other Divine Mountain Alliance. They are so strong. Those young ones are impressive,” Shi Hao remarked.

Those youths stood out with their exceptional talents and formidable presence, all top figures in the Spirit Transformation realm. In battle, they could sweep away all enemies.

The beautiful young women were like celestial beings, some possessing extraordinary beauty and charm, regarded as peerless beauties.

Among the sea’s pure-blooded beings were also young faces, rumored to be descendants of sea gods or progeny of venerables, transformed into human form and exceptionally transcendent.

A great battle for supremacy was destined to occur here, with heroes and strong figures rising. The young talents and peerless beauties would all be present, showcasing truly invincible duels. Only the strongest would have the chance to obtain the treasures.

Shi Hao abandoned the ghostly ship and finally stepped onto the stone staircase extending into the sea, making his way toward the grand ancient land.

As he neared the desolate cliff, it grew increasingly magnificent, almost like a realm of its own, vast and boundless, no longer resembling a sea cliff.

“Ah, you’re still alive.”

Just as he left the vast ocean and stepped onto the stone steps leading to the ancient land, someone noticed Shi Hao, displaying a look of surprise and coldness.

It was evident that Shi Hao also noticed them; they were beings from the Divine Mountain Alliance, including the purple-clad girl, Yin Xue, Chi Huo, several divine servants, and Qing Yun, who had spoken earlier.

Shi Hao remained calm, but his gaze was cold. Not long ago, these people had not only refused to help him but had even tried to make his situation worse, aiming to put him to death.

The image of the original drawing of the Willow Goddess that was posted last time received high satisfaction, many said it looked very similar. Have any brothers missed it? You can go check it out, it’s remarkably similar.
