Chapter 196: Daoist friend, let's fight to the heavens

It is hard to imagine what a terrifying number the seawater swallowed by this sea abyss every day is.

"Is it Guixu?"

If the legendary Guixu exists in this world, the sea abyss before him is no worse than that so-called Guixu.

He couldn't help but think a lot.

A sea abyss that couldn't see the end, just stretched here, I don't know how many years it had existed.

He tried to cross it, but as soon as he stepped onto the sea abyss, he felt a massive resistance.

He only crossed a thousand miles before he could no longer advance an inch.

Returning to the edge of the sea abyss, he carefully sensed the source of that resistance; it was of the same origin as the unknown power contained in the giant monster, but undoubtedly more powerful and pure.

A figure appeared in his mind, Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun was a prodigy from overseas; he originally thought he came from the East Sea, but there was no human gathering place on the East Sea.

So, where exactly is this overseas?

Is it the other side of the sea abyss?

After a moment of silence, he shook his head; it was not that he didn't want to believe this possibility, but it was simply too outrageous.

With his strength, he could only cross a thousand miles; how could Jiang Yun cross this sea abyss that couldn't see the end?

Is there any special way? But he didn't think any special way could cross the several chasms between Divine Martial, True God, and True Immortal.

Without thinking too much, he made several more attempts later, but none exceeded three thousand miles.

Looking at the boundless sea abyss, he shook his head gently and flew toward Dragon Island.

Not long after, before he landed on Dragon Island, the Dragon Emperor came to meet him.

"Daoist friend, have you finished eating so soon?"

The Dragon Emperor's voice was hearty, but it sounded a bit guilty.

Qin Jiang was stunned, and then he realized that the other party was talking about the specialties he had taken away before.

"No, I was just attracted by a giant monster earlier, arrived at the edge of the sky, and saw a sea abyss. I wonder if Daoist friend knows any information about this sea abyss?" he asked.

The Dragon Emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and then had some doubts, "Is it the sea abyss at the edge of the East Border? Why did Daoist friend go there?"

The environment in that place is extremely harsh, and even existences at the True God level could encounter danger if they went there.

Moreover, there are many monsters hidden in that sea area, without any rationality; the weakest are comparable to top-tier Demon Kings, and there is no shortage of True God levels.

Even, when he went there to suppress the sea eye back then, he had encountered three initial-stage True Immortal-level snake mothers.

If it weren't for the Golden Dragon Crown, he would probably have been severely injured.

"Exactly. I was practicing in the seabed earlier and was accidentally swallowed by a giant monster and brought there," Qin Jiang said.

"So that's it. There are many records about this sea abyss in my clan, but there is no record of the cause of its formation. Why don't I take Daoist friend to look it up?" the Dragon Emperor asked.

Their dragon race doesn't have much else, but they have many of these ancient objects, and many secrets can even be traced back to two or three hundred thousand years ago.

"Sorry to trouble you, Daoist friend."

Arriving at a cave, it was much smaller than the huge and magnificent Dragon Emperor residence, only less than five meters high, and sealed by a bronze gate.

"This is the Scripture Pavilion of my Dragon Island. Generally, only those who have reached the Demon King level are qualified to enter."

As he spoke, the Dragon Emperor waved his fingers, a beam of golden light flashed, and the bronze gate slowly opened.

Walking into it, a long-standing musty smell entered his nose, and there were even spider webs on the corridor of the cave.

"Cough, cough, our dragon race mostly inherits cultivation methods through bloodlines, so this Scripture Pavilion is rarely visited by clansmen," the Dragon Emperor said somewhat embarrassedly.

Passing through the corridor, the two came to a karst cave, which was much cleaner inside because the walls were cast from gold, making it difficult to deteriorate. The Dragon Emperor walked to the side, looked through the thick catalog, and after a while, pointed to a golden bookshelf.

"Daoist friend, that side is the record about the sea abyss. Just take your time to look, and if you need anything, just call me."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Qin Jiang looked at the departing Dragon Emperor with some surprise, but didn't ask much, and walked to the golden bookshelf.

There were at least a hundred books in total; it was worthy of being the dragon race, the foundation was indeed profound, far exceeding ordinary ancient kingdoms.

Half an hour later, he had already read all the books; it was not that he couldn't be faster; if he wanted, he could finish reading in one thought.

It was just that he liked this feeling of flipping through books; for him, there were few such opportunities.

Putting the last book back on the bookshelf, he had a rough understanding of the sea abyss.

Yes, a rough understanding.

The history of this sea abyss was extremely ancient, having existed for hundreds of thousands of years.

Moreover, this sea abyss was not unique to the East Sea; it also connected the South Sea and the North Sea, and later connected to the boundless snow mountains at the western foot of Shenzhou.

A map appeared in his mind; no matter how he looked at it, Shenzhou seemed to be a corner trapped between the sea abyss and the snow mountains.

It's just that I don't know if this was formed naturally or controlled by humans.

If it was controlled by humans, then how terrifying must the person who laid down such a heaven-defying method back then be? An End Realm True Immortal probably didn't have this strength; Ao Yun back then almost reached the end of the End Realm True Immortal, but was still trapped in this place.

Suddenly, the four words "Huangtian Shenmu" appeared in his mind.

The name of this ancient existence had been sung for at least a hundred thousand years; this lifespan had already exceeded the scope of True Immortals.

In other words, this person was very likely an existence at the Immortal King level; only existences at the Immortal King level could control the power of time and thus live forever.

When Ao Yun became the first demonic dragon between heaven and earth back then, it might not have been without this person's calculation.

After all, the timing of the surging demonic Qi and the destruction of the Ancient Yu Kingdom back then was a bit too coincidental.

Was it this person who opened the sea abyss? What was the purpose? To keep the creatures in this sea area in captivity and harvest them every once in a while?

Then, when will the next harvest be? What is outside that sea abyss? If Huangtian Shenmu is truly powerful and invincible, why would she need to keep a place in captivity for harvesting? He suddenly discovered that his understanding of this world was still too little.

Walking out of the cave, the Dragon Emperor had been waiting for a long time, with a huge package behind him.

"Daoist friend, have you finished reading so soon?" he asked with a smile.

Qin Jiang nodded slightly, "I have finished reading, sorry to trouble you, Daoist friend."

Hearing Qin Jiang's words, the Dragon Emperor laughed, waved his hand, pulled the bag behind him, and was about to say something when Qin Jiang's voice sounded in his ears again.

"Daoist friend, let's spar a little? My divine art is complete, and I hope Daoist friend can give me some pointers."

"Ah?"

The Dragon Emperor was stunned, looked at Qin Jiang somewhat blankly, and smiled dryly: "Uh... this... no need, right? To be honest, my position as Dragon Emperor is actually obtained because of this Five-Clawed Golden Dragon bloodline.

Actually, my cultivation realm is entirely due to the blessing of the ancestors, and my combat power is completely useless."

He retracted his hand, feeling a bit conflicted inside. No way, Daoist friend? I'm just balancing the accounts and asking you to help me balance them, right? It's not necessary to beat me up, right?

I manage such a large dragon race, it's normal to do this kind of thing, right? "Daoist friend is too modest. The dragon race has always been arrogant; how could they choose a Dragon Emperor based on bloodline?

I observed that the two previous Dragon Emperors were not Five-Clawed Golden Dragons either; it seems that the position of Dragon Emperor has little to do with bloodline.

Daoist friend, don't be modest. Just spar a little, let's fight to the heavens."

After saying that, Qin Jiang stepped into the sky, and surging demonic Qi erupted from his body. For a time, the demonic dragon race on Dragon Island roared one after another.
