Chapter 2414: Volume 11: The True Immortal Descends to the World, Chapter 2396: The Change in the Blood Sky

Above a certain sea area in the Spirit Realm, two groups of unknown low-tier sea beasts resembling giant whales were tearing at each other for some unknown reason.

Severed beast carcasses floated up from the seawater from time to time, and plumes of blood-stained water completely dyed the nearby sea surface a bright red.

Suddenly, a terrifying aura surged out from the depths of the seabed.

Upon being struck by this aura, the two groups of sea beasts were immediately alarmed; without the slightest hesitation, they stopped fighting and scrambled to flee in different directions, covering their heads.

In the blink of an eye, apart from those severed limbs and a faint scent of blood, the sea surface had actually returned to its former tranquility.

Just then, the seawater in this area rolled and parted to both sides, and a pitch-black giant ship flew out from within; it was a full thousand zhang long from front to back, resembling a ferocious black giant beast.

The front and back ends of the giant ship were crowded with many human cultivators, most of whom looked quite young, yet each was extremely excited, pointing and gesturing at everything on the sea surface from time to time.

Some young cultivators even had their eyes slightly closed, as if silently sensing something where they stood.

This giant ship was naturally the Ink Spirit Holy Ship that had just returned to the Spirit Realm from the Small Spirit Heaven.

The moment this ship returned to the seabed, the passage formed by the seven-colored halo finally collapsed, unable to hold on any longer.

If Han Li wanted to go to the Small Spirit Heaven again next time, he did not know how long it would be, and he would have to find an ancient altar to calculate it again before there would be even a sliver of a possibility.

At this moment, Han Li and Nangong Wan were also standing side by side at the very front of the ship's bow, while the crowd around them respectfully kept a large distance away, not daring to approach even an inch.

"This is the true Spirit Realm; the purity of the spiritual energy is indeed incomparable to the Small Spirit Heaven. Only in a place like this can cultivators like us possibly advance further and eventually reach the realm of ascending to the Immortal Realm," Nangong Wan murmured after taking a light breath of the slightly salty sea breeze.

"The Spirit Realm is indeed stronger than the Small Spirit Heaven, but there are not many existences who have cultivated to the Great Ascension stage. For a weak race like our human race, under normal circumstances, possessing one or two Great Ascensions is enough to gain a foothold in the Spirit Realm. However, for some super-large races, the number of Great Ascension existences can even reach double digits or more. Of course, even among Great Ascensions, there are differences in strength. Some true powerhouses among the Great Ascensions can fight against True Spirits without falling into a disadvantage, and it is an easy matter for them to annihilate several existences of the same rank with their own strength," Han Li said with a faint smile.

During his time in the Small Spirit Heaven, he had naturally explained the general situation of the Spirit Realm and the human race to the others, so these people returning from the Small Spirit Heaven were no longer completely ignorant of the Spirit Realm.

"Looking at my husband's confident appearance, he must be one of these so-called 'powerhouses.' I hadn't expected the situation of the human race in the Spirit Realm to be so pessimistic. Now that I have my husband's words, the situation should improve a bit," Nangong Wan said with a sigh.

"I dare say that in a one-on-one fight, I am not inferior to any powerhouse among the Great Ascensions, but after all, I have only recently advanced to the Great Ascension stage; truly revitalizing the human race will require long-term planning," Han Li said with a solemn expression.

"That goes without saying. I believe that with my husband's strength, there will be a day when you can accomplish this," Nangong Wan said, gazing at Han Li with a flash of tenderness on her face.

"I hope so," Han Li said, his eyes flashing.

"How will we return to the Wind Origin Continent below? Are we going to cross the sea directly?" Nangong Wan asked again after looking at the distant sea surface.

"That won't be necessary. I am acquainted with the person in charge of the Helian Merchant Alliance in the nearby Blood Sky Continent. Through the teleportation array he controls, we should be able to arrange our direct return to the Wind Origin," Han Li said without hesitation.

"That would be best. I really want to see the place where our human race resides in the Spirit Realm as soon as possible," Nangong Wan smiled sweetly.

Han Li smiled slightly and said no more. The giant ship beneath them had already adjusted its direction, and with a boom, it shot toward the direction of the Blood Sky Continent.

Several months later, the Ink Spirit Holy Ship had already appeared above a giant port city on the Blood Sky Continent, and it hovered grandly directly above a triangular building, remaining motionless.

Han Li and Nangong Wan were currently in a hall in the belly of this building.

A terrified middle-aged man, drenched in sweat, was telling the two of them something.

"What? Your alliance has now shrunk most of its strength, and Fellow Daoist Biying has also fallen? Are you sure you aren't deliberately teasing me? I've only been away from the continent for such a short time, how could such a thing happen?" Han Li asked coldly, his face exceptionally gloomy as he stared at the man before him.

"Senior Han holds our alliance's VIP token, how would this junior dare to speak any falsehoods to you? Moreover, these matters are almost known to everyone in the Blood Sky now. If Senior does not believe me, you can find out that my words are not false by asking around a little after you go out," the middle-aged man said, bowing repeatedly while smiling bitterly.

"That ferocious demon is actually so powerful that he slaughtered so many Great Ascension powerhouses with his own strength. Regardless of what heaven-defying means he used, this is an unimaginable matter. Your alliance has always been well-informed, have you investigated the origin of this demon?" Han Li asked again after his expression flickered for a while.

"This junior cannot say! Perhaps the main alliance has exact news, but I am only a person in charge of a branch alliance, so I really don't know much about this," the middle-aged man hesitated before replying.

"You don't know much, so you still know something. Fellow Daoist, there is no need for any misgivings, just say what you know directly. Could it be that with my husband's status, he cannot know this information?" Nangong Wan said with a light laugh from the side.

Han Li had naturally already told her a thing or two about this peerless ferocious demon.

When she first heard that there was such a ferocious demon in the Spirit Realm who didn't take blood sacrifices seriously, she was naturally shocked at the time.

"How would this junior dare to think that? If Senior Han wants to know, this junior will definitely tell you truthfully," the middle-aged man felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly explained.

Hearing this, Han Li nodded with a softened expression.

Nangong Wan beside him also tightened her expression, preparing to listen carefully.

"The appearance of this peerless ferocious demon is very strange; it seems to have appeared out of thin air in the Blood Sky, and judging from some of the cultivation techniques and divine abilities he has displayed, it is certain that he is definitely not a person from this continent, or even this realm. Therefore, it is rumored outside that he is either a cross-realm powerhouse from another powerful interface or a person who has descended from a higher interface. And according to the news I have obtained, it is ten to nine that it should be the latter," the middle-aged man subconsciously lowered his voice, and when he said the last sentence, the corner of his eye couldn't help but twitch.

"A person who has descended? You mean this ferocious demon is an immortal who has come down from the Immortal Realm! How can you be so sure?" Even Han Li couldn't help but feel a trace of horror in his heart upon hearing this.

Nangong Wan's jade-like face changed instantly.

"It is said that someone once peeked from afar and saw this ferocious demon displaying some kind of great divine ability, which seemed to have angered the interface power, causing chains of laws to emerge and immediately pierce through his flesh and bones, sealing most of his magic power. If he weren't an immortal from the True Immortal Realm, how could such a thing happen? As for other powerful interfaces that are known, perhaps they can indeed give birth to some extraordinary great existences, but to say that he is a super powerhouse who wiped out so many powerhouses like Lord Biying and others like the ferocious demon, it is still unlikely. For such things, even some legendary True Spirits like the Heavenly Phoenix and True Dragon should not be able to do it," the middle-aged man finally stated his judgment, which actually hit the mark regarding the true origin of the "ferocious demon."

"If the matter of the chains of laws is true, your judgment does indeed have some truth to it. However, I still find it hard to believe that a True Immortal has appeared in the Spirit Realm. I will make a trip to your alliance's main altar myself to verify this carefully. By the way, since Fellow Daoist Biying is no longer here, who is in charge of your alliance now? And where is this ferocious demon now? Is he still blood-sacrificing living beings everywhere?" Han Li said, exhaling lightly.

"After Lord Biying fell, our alliance is temporarily jointly managed by several elders until the next chief executive is elected, at which point the full power will be handed over. As for that ferocious demon, he has blood-sacrificed more than ten places in the western part of the Blood Sky Continent, almost wiping out all the living beings in the entire west. However, about two months ago, this ferocious demon suddenly rushed into the Blood Trace Sect, slaughtered two Great Ascension ancestors and thousands of high and mid-tier disciples of this sect in one breath, and then activated the cross-continent array in the sect's forbidden area, teleporting away directly," the middle-aged man replied honestly.

"A cross-continent array? He went to another continent; do you know which continent he went to?" Han Li was finally shocked.

Nangong Wan also suddenly remembered something, and a look of worry appeared on her face as well.

"According to the subsequent investigation, it seems that the ferocious demon went to the Thunder Roar Continent," the middle-aged man replied after thinking for a while.

After hearing this, Han Li's expression softened slightly, but the trace of solemnity between his brows did not dissipate. After continuing to ask the middle-aged man about some related matters, he left the hall with Nangong Wan amidst the other party's respectful farewells, and immediately flew away from the building, heading straight for the black giant ship in the high sky.

Above an endless emerald lake on the Thunder Roar Continent, a crystal thread was shooting forward at an incredible escape speed; in a flash, it arrived thousands of zhang away amidst the sound of breaking air, and it continued to sneak forward, increasing its speed without the slightest pause.

Just as an island with sparse trees appeared ahead, the crystal thread suddenly turned and shot downward.

"Bang!"

A large pit appeared out of thin air at the top of the only yellow dirt hill on the island, and a white-clothed youth kneeling on one knee and a silver-robed woman were revealed inside.

"Rest for two hours, then continue on our way," the white-clothed youth said through gritted teeth, standing up shakily in the pit after spitting out a mouthful of essence blood.

"Are two hours enough? Your vitality is already severely damaged. Even if there is a way to make up for some of it, if you continue to use secret techniques so frequently, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on any longer," the silver-robed woman said after a moment of silence.

"Hmph, then what other way do you have? That guy doesn't know what medicine he took; he actually stopped blood-sacrificing and instead chased us relentlessly. Back at the Blood Trace Sect, if it weren't for the other party suddenly chasing us closely, how would we have ended up teleporting to the Thunder Roar Continent in such a rush without even having time to adjust the teleportation array?" the white-clothed youth replied with a huff.
