Chapter 1794 is locked; the Nine Infants have recovered.
The vast sea of blood stretches to the horizon. No one knows how it was formed, nor how vast it truly is.
On the shores of a sea of blood.
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the sky that was originally shrouded in gray fog, and two huge beast claws emerged from the crack, then ripped it apart in two directions!
The spatial barrier was as fragile as paper, and it was instantly torn apart, as if a huge crack had appeared in the sky.
Just then, a giant beast flew out from the spatial rift.
This beast was extremely strange, with a human head and a dragon's body, its entire body shrouded in a layer of black mist. It circled several times above the sea of blood before finally hovering in mid-air.
The head suddenly split open between its brows, and a beam of light poured out from it, as if illuminating the heavens and the earth.
The void beside them silently cracked open, and a cloud of black mist drifted out from it, then coalesced into a human shape, but its appearance was not clearly visible.
"Drum, how's it going? Any discoveries?"
The humanoid black mist looked at the giant beast.
"My laws can reflect some scenes from a few days ago, but I didn't find anything. I guess it's been too long, and even my laws can't reflect them."
The behemoth known as "Drum" shook its head slightly, then turned to look into the depths of the Blood Sea, saying hesitantly, "However, I sensed an aura that does not belong to this world, and I have already headed into the depths of the Blood Sea."
"An aura that doesn't belong to this world?"
The humanoid black mist was taken aback upon hearing this, then asked in a deep voice, "Could it be those cultivators from the Spirit Realm?"
"I don't know. Didn't you have the Preservation Crystal that Jiuying passed down to you?"
"You'll know once you show me that crystal," Gu said calmly.
"it is good."
The humanoid black mist nodded and casually waved its hand, sending a blood-red crystal flying towards the drum.
"It is indeed this aura, there's no mistake, and it's the aura of a living being!"
After sensing the remaining aura within the crystal, Gu frowned and then said calmly, "I didn't sense the Nine-Headed Serpent's aura just now. It's very likely that it has already perished."
"Although Jiuying is a newly promoted Ghost Emperor in our Soul Sea, his strength is not weak. The cultivators who can kill him are at least at the early stage of Great Saint, or even the middle stage of Great Saint."
If he is truly a cultivator at the mid-stage of the Great Sage realm, even if you and I join forces, we might not be able to capture him.
As Gu spoke, he turned to look at the humanoid black mist, as if waiting for him to give his opinion.
The humanoid black mist did not answer immediately, but after a moment of contemplation, it said in a deep voice: "In any case, this matter must not be left like this!"
Great Saint Realm cultivators are a scarce resource of combat power for my soul sea, and can be considered a foundation. Losing any one of them would have a profound impact on the plans of our ancestors.
Logically speaking, since the Nine-Headed Serpent was killed within our jurisdiction, we must give our ancestors an explanation.
He paused briefly, looking at the giant beast drum, only to see that the other party's expression changed slightly upon hearing the words "ancestor." He then continued, "Besides, Jiuying gave me all the resources in his cave when he asked for my help this time. I can't just take the money and not do anything, can I?"
"Isn't this your main purpose for taking action?" Gu immediately rolled his eyes.
"There's no way around it; after all, you're beholden to someone who pays you a price."
"Besides, don't you want to see who dares to trespass into my Soul Sea territory and kill my Soul Sea Ghost Emperor?"
"That's true. From both a moral and logical standpoint, they shouldn't have been allowed to escape the Sea of Souls alive!"
The two Soul Sea Ghost Emperors exchanged a glance, and then flew towards the depths of the Blood Sea at the same time.
……
A figure sped past on the vast sea of blood.
Suddenly, he vanished and stopped on the surface of the sea.
"Kid, what's wrong?"
Grandpa Qian's voice asked in Mo Fan's mind.
"Just now, my Toad Eyes Observing Calamity Divine Power suddenly activated automatically, and I felt a chill creep into my heart," Mo Fan said, his brows furrowing slightly.
"Your supernatural power is related to the power of time, which allows you to see some future tribulations. Have you been able to see what kind of tribulations they are?" Grandpa Qian asked.
"No, I didn't see any of the scenes I had before, I just sensed something unusual."
Mo Fan spoke, then said in a deep voice, "It must be that the cultivators participating in this calamity are far more powerful than me, which is why my Toad Eye Calamity Observation Divine Power cannot detect any useful information."
"Far superior to you..."
"It seems the Ghost Emperor is about to make a move!"
Grandpa Qian's tone also became somewhat serious.
"It doesn't matter. If I was still wary of these Ghost Emperors before, I'm not so afraid now."
Mo Fan chuckled softly, his grip on the Soul-Devouring Banner tightening involuntarily.
He had been flying through the sea of blood for more than half a month. During this half month, the Soul Devouring Banner was far from calm, or rather, it had undergone earth-shattering changes.
It all started when the Nine-Headed Ghost Emperor entered the Soul-Devouring Banner.
In order to help the Nine-Headed Ghost Emperor recover from his injuries as soon as possible, Mo Fan manipulated the Soul-Devouring Banner to make the vengeful ghosts inside devour each other. Unsurprisingly, even the Nine-Headed Ghost Emperor, whose strength had greatly diminished, was still the most powerful being in the Soul-Devouring Banner.
For this reason, the vengeful ghosts inside the Soul-Devouring Banner suffered.
In just half a month, the Nine-Headed Ghost Emperor devoured nearly 200 million vengeful ghosts.
Even so, the Nine-Headed Ghost Emperor's injuries were not fully recovered; he only recovered about 70%.
Afterwards, Mo Fan searched for some islands in the sea of blood and found that almost all of these islands had soul crystal mines. So he gave some of the soul crystals, including soul liquid, to the Nine-Headed Ghost Emperor to heal his injuries.
In fact, his method was correct. After absorbing the pure Yin energy in the Soul Crystal and Soul Liquid, the Nine-Headed Ghost Emperor recovered from all his injuries in just a few days.
Although the Nine-Headed Ghost Emperor within the Soul-Devouring Banner has not yet returned to its peak state, it already possesses the formidable combat power of a Great Saint, and even the eight heads that were severed from its body have regrown.
That's why Mo Fan felt even more confident.
Even if he were to encounter the Bone Demon Emperor at his peak again, he would be confident of fighting him!
"Now you really don't need to worry about early-stage Great Saint cultivators much anymore. As long as no high-level Great Saints of the mid-stage or above appear, you can walk around with your head held high!"
Seeing Mo Fan's expression, Grandpa Qian couldn't help but chuckle.
"Now that you mention it, I realize I need to be even more discreet. If I really attract the attention of a high-level Great Sage, wouldn't that be the end of me?"
Mo Fan shrank back, a sense of vigilance rising in his heart.
After all, this is the Sea of Souls, the lair of those vengeful ghosts. Who knows if there are any high-level Great Saints inside who are even more powerful than the Bone Demon Emperor?
"It's right to be careful, but high-level Great Saints aren't everywhere; there aren't nearly as many as you imagine."
But every high-level Great Saint is extremely terrifying. If you really encounter one, you can only pray that you can escape alive.” Grandpa Qian said, then suddenly sighed.
"No way?"
"Is it really that powerful?" Mo Fan asked, somewhat skeptical.
“A high-level Great Saint has mastered several complete arrays of laws, and his combat power far exceeds your imagination. If you really encounter him, even the white-robed Netherworld Gate might not have a chance to be used.”
