At the edge of the Abyssal Sea, Jiang Hao also noticed the presence of the Heavenly Kings, and their auras were powerful.
However, he had never sensed such a presence in King Hai Luo. Even when he first met Mu Longyu, he hadn’t felt this way.
It seemed that the Heavenly Kings’ strength underwent a significant transformation when they were overseas.
‘They’re probably discussing what to do with the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart. It’s just difficult to reach an agreement since the sea area is not only inhabited by the Heavenly Kings.’ Jiang Hao wondered if they would come to an agreement. As more teleportation arrays appeared, unidentified, powerful individuals emerged from them. The discussions took time, and the whole atmosphere seemed less friendly.
Before long, they ceased their conversations.
As time passed, two more figures appeared in the sky, but they also remained silent, which only increased the sense of unease.
“A storm is approaching,” Jiang Hao said to the elderly man beside him. “Stay further away from here. It won’t do you any good to linger here.” The elderly man expressed his gratitude and quickly moved away.
“Senior, what should we do?” Jiang Hao asked.
She looked at the Abyssal Sea. “We wait.’
Jiang Hao nodded. He could sense that something was struggling to emerge from within.
But they didn’t have to wait long before a sudden roar echoed through the sky.
Boom!
A tremendous force swept in all directions and caused the seawater to rush toward the skv like a reverse waterfall. Blinding lights flashed and something rumbled.
The overwhelming force instantly engulfed Jiang Hao. Without Hong Yuye’s presence, he wouldn’t have had time to escape even with the golden ring. He had to use the Thousand Miles Teleportation Talisman. Otherwise, he wouldn’t make it out in time.
In the aftermath of such a force, Jiang Hao was unable to see the figures of the people at all. He couldn’t even see the battle properly.
So, he could only patiently wait for the force to weaken.
However, after a short while, he frowned and turned toward the Abyssal Sea. The aura had become stronger as if something was struggling to break free. Amidst the eruption of boundless power, Mr. Tao retreated to a more distant location and finally saw the person he had been looking for at the edge of the Abyssal Sea.
It was a figure of a scholar. He gazed at the Abyssal Sea with surging power behind him, yet it couldn’t touch him at all.
“Smiling San Sheng? Is he watching the Abyssal Sea? But wasn’t he supposed to be in the Return to Void Realm? How is he blocking those forces?!” Tang Ya exclaimed.
Mr. Tao didn’t bother with all the questions. He seemed puzzled. “What’s in the
Abyssal Sea that had captured his attention? He is not even looking at the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart?”
The enigma of the Abyssal Sea left not only Mr. Tao perplexed but also Jiang Hao, who could only sense a presence struggling to emerge.
Now, that struggle was becoming evident.
After observing for a moment, he suddenly frowned. It seemed that the other party was about to struggle fiercely.
“It’s coming.”
Hong Yuye, who had been watching Jiang Hao all along, turned toward the Abyssal Sea.
In the next moment, a blue beam of light shot out of it.
Boom!
The speed was unimaginable, and the strength was astonishing.
In an instant, the blue light shot into the sky and illuminated the surroundings.
The eighteen True Dragons came to a halt. They didn’t dare move recklessly.
Both Mr. Tao and Tang Ya were astonished.
The moment the blue light appeared, Jiang Hao instinctively raised his foot to enter the Abyssal Sea.
But he immediately snapped back to his senses.
This beam of light seemed to be seeking his help. It hoped he would enter the Abyssal Sea to rescue it.
‘Is it seeking only my help or calling out to everyone here?’ Jiang Hao looked at the person beside him.
Hong Yuye just stared at him in indifference.
“Do you want to go in?” Hong Yuye suddenly asked.
“Senior, you must be joking.” Jiang Hao lowered his head respectfully, “The
Abyssal Sea is not a place someone like me can enter.”
“Actually, you can.” Hong Yuye raised her hand and gently pulled up her sleeve.
The golden ring was visible on her wrist.
“Now, you can go in.”
“Senior, you’re joking, right? What if…” Jiang Hao noticed her sharp gaze. “I’ll go in!”
He was indeed helpless in front of a powerful individual.
He did want to go down and look, but he wasn’t the type to act recklessly when he knew it was dangerous.
Regardless of what was down there, he wouldn’t risk himself for the sake of curiosity.
However, Hong Yuye’s words reassured him. He didn’t want to be careless, though.
He had prepared all teleportation methods in case something went wrong.
After that, he took a step forward and leaped to make contact with the blue beam of light. Then, he began to fall into the Abyssal Sea.
“Mr. Tao, Mr. Tao, he… he jumped in!” Tang Ya exclaimed.
She saw clearly that Smiling San Sheng had jumped in.
The Abyssal Sea was an endpoint. It was hard to turn back from there. Even someone as great as Mr. Tao dared not enter it.
But Smiling San Sheng had jumped in willingly.
Mr. Tao just looked in the direction of the Abyssal Sea. The blue beam of light was now disappearing.
This sudden change didn’t stop the powerful individuals as if such disturbances weren’t that unusual here. People would jump in from time to time, and no one paid much attention because nobody ever came out.
Hong Yuye, on the other hand, kept her eyes fixed on the Abyssal Sea and didn’t look away.
Jiang Hao, who had leaped into the Abyssal Sea, plummeted. He couldn’t use any techniques or spells at all.
His strength was compressed within him. It was difficult to move. It would take a long time before he could use anything to save himself.
Moreover, his descent was much faster than expected.
During the descent, Jiang Hao saw stars. At first, they appeared as faint points of light, then they multiplied into a multitude of stars.
Soon, it was as if a galaxy was surging, but the further he descended, the more unsettling it felt. It was as though the galaxy was converging downward.
The stars gathered like a vast river flowing downward.
He, too, seemed to be in that state and unable to escape the Abyssal Sea. His powers were suppressed, and his body was under immense pressure.
He looked up at the sky and could see the stars winding down and eventually converging below.
“This won’t work. If I keep falling like this, I won’t be able to get out of here at all. ”
By now, the blue light was nowhere to be seen. The distress he had sensed from this place had disappeared. It might as well have been an illusion. After waiting for a while, he suddenly saw several floating rocks.
Bam!
Jiang Hao fell heavily onto one of the rocks. His legs were a bit sore.
Looking around, he noticed several people sitting cross-legged. Most of them had weak auras as if they were resisting the pressure from the Abyssal Sea.
“Another corpse has fallen,” said a middle-aged man.
‘A corpse? Is he referring to me?’ Jiang Hao wondered.
He didn’t pay it much mind and instead approached the edge of the rock to look down.
At that moment, he felt something coming up from below as if it had locked onto him.
“Is this the Abyssal Sea?” Jiang Hao asked the middle-aged man sitting on the rock beside him.
“The Abyssal Sea? This is just the edge of the Abyssal Sea. If you want to see what the Abyssal Sea truly looks like, you’ll have to go further down,” the middle-aged man said.
“Do you know what the Abyssal Sea is, sir?” Jiang Hao asked curiously.
The man didn’t respond.
Jiang Hao turned to look at his side and noticed that the seawater was still rushing downward without an end.
“Some say there are True Dragons down there, while others say it holds the secret to becoming a Heavenly King. Do any of you have any clue as to what might actually be there?” Jiang Hao asked.
As soon as he entered, he had communicated with the golden ring to see if it was still connected to the outside. It set his mind at ease.
After he finished speaking, two more elderly men suddenly appeared behind him. Each wielded a weapon.
Jiang Hao was puzzled.
“Hand over the storage treasure,” one of the men said.
Jiang Hao was astonished. These people, who appeared so feeble, wanted to rob him of his spirit stones?
“I advise you not to struggle. It takes a long time to adapt here, and you’re not a body cultivator, so you’re no match for us ,” said the middle-aged man beside him. “Of course, we won’t be brutal. We’ll leave you with something at least.”
Jiang Hao was speechless..
