Chapter 945: The Eerie Outer Sea

The sky was not entirely pitch black!

The blood-colored clouds had become a light source, casting a blood-red hue in all directions!

Xu Qing and Erniu stood within the clouds, listening to Yu Liuchen’s words while gazing at the sea surface!

On the sea, black and purple were stitched together, forming an endless scar!

Like a dividing line, it split the Forbidden Sea into the inner and outer regions!

The Inner Sea, while dangerous, was still relatively controllable!

Whether it was the Yinghuang Province, the Nanhuang Province, the Nanyu Great Domain, or the countless islands on the sea, they had been explored extensively over these tens of thousands of years!

Although the scope of exploration varied due to differences in cultivation bases, through the efforts of generations, the Inner Sea... was, to a certain extent, no longer mysterious!

But the Outer Sea... even when the sun and moon once patrolled the boundaries, it was a forbidden land for all living beings of Wanggu!

Those qualified to step foot there were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns!

If one’s cultivation base had not reached a certain level, forcing a way in would result in the destruction of both body and soul before long!

Often, one might not even know how they had perished!

Not to mention that the fall of the siblings, the Golden Crow Crown Prince and Zhi Geng, tens of thousands of years ago, had left the Outer Sea without a sun or moon, swallowed by darkness year-round!

Those capable of exploring it were naturally even fewer!

A melody!

Mystery and the unknown had increasingly become the masters of the Outer Sea.

Yu Liuchen’s words regarding the Outer Sea, even though they lifted the first veil, remained beneath this veil—

Boundless secrets!

Endlessly profound!

Erniu was silent, lost in thought, but his eyes, looking toward the Outer Sea, revealed a trace of complexity!

As for Xu Qing, his heart was also filled with a thousand thoughts!

The matters of the Outer Sea spoken of by Yu Liuchen, combined with what he had seen while riding the dragon chariot and the inheritance he had obtained, made him very clear that what the other party said was, in all likelihood, true!

"The history of the Outer Sea is even more ancient than the Huangtian God Race..."

"The Huangtian God Race came from the Outer Sea..."

"Origin?"

Then what exactly was this so-called Outer Sea? A guess rose faintly in the depths of Xu Qing’s heart, and he looked up at the sky, toward the God’s Remnant Face floating high above Wanggu!

"Why... did he come to Wanggu?"

This question had lingered in the hearts of all living beings for tens of thousands of years,

without an answer!

At this moment, as the speculation rose in Xu Qing’s heart, Yu Liuchen took a deep breath and spoke softly!

"Do you smell it!"

Xu Qing nodded!

It was the scent of blood!

Drifting from the Outer Sea... to be precise, this was the scent of the Outer Sea!

It was similar to the fishy smell of the Inner Sea, but its essence was completely different!

"Actually, before the Father God descended, the color of this Outer Sea was like this. The black was the divine breath of the Huangtian God Race, mixed with the blood of an unknown existence, and thus... it made the color of the sea purple!"

"After the Father God descended, the divine breath shrouded heaven and earth and also invaded the Outer Sea. Thus, the divine breath here—what you cultivators call 'aberrant substances'—became more numerous, more complex, and extremely dense!"

"And so, it formed this wonderful scent."

"This reminds me of a legend circulating in all the star rings!"

Yu Liuchen took another deep breath, savoring the bloodiness of the Outer Sea, a strange light appearing in his eyes!

The words he spoke fell into the ears of Xu Qing and Erniu, who couldn't help but look at each other, and then Xu Qing spoke in a low voice!

"May I ask what legend the senior is referring to?"

Yu Liuchen looked at Xu Qing meaningfully, then raised his head to look at the vast Remnant Face hanging high in the firmament, his voice faint!

"It is a legend about the Father God!"

Clearly, Yu Liuchen was unwilling to say more about the specifics of this legend. At this moment, he raised his right hand and waved it, and the red cloud he was on spread toward the boundary of the Outer Sea!

The next instant, the red cloud wrapped around Xu Qing and Erniu, crossing the border between black and purple!

They truly stepped into the Outer Sea.

Here, the red cloud did not continue forward but rapidly dissipated!

At the same time, Yu Liuchen’s voice echoed!

"Next, you must set sail on your own and head as deep into the Outer Sea as possible!"

"You don't need to do anything extra; the fact that you have appeared here means you are already the bait!"

Along with his words came a repulsive force that pushed the figures of Xu Qing and Erniu out of the dissipating red cloud!

They fell toward the purple sea surface!

In an instant, Xu Qing’s large wing, shaped like an old woman, appeared out of thin air and landed on the sea!

If this were the Inner Sea, the landing of the large wing would surely have stirred up huge waves!

But in the Outer Sea, even if it was just the edge, the seawater was clearly more viscous, so the waves were imperceptible; if one didn't look closely, one wouldn't be able to detect any ripples at all!

The entire sea surface was like stagnant water, motionless!

The large wing upon it was the same!

Standing on the large wing, Xu Qing and Erniu felt the heaviness of the Outer Sea. While they were vigilant, the mystery of the Outer Sea transformed into an inexplicable pressure, accompanied by a terrifying aura and mixed with unknown substances, forming an invisible mental storm that rushed toward them!

Xu Qing’s entire body trembled, and Erniu’s breathing also became rapid!

In that instant, both of them felt their souls tremble!

A strong sense of palpitation rose uncontrollably in their hearts, spreading through their entire bodies!

This feeling reminded Xu Qing of his first time sailing out to sea back at Seven Blood Eyes!

At that time, the Inner Sea was both mysterious and infinitely dangerous to him!

At that time, the Inner Sea was both mysterious and infinitely dangerous to Xu Qing!

It wasn't until a long while later that the two adapted. After looking at each other, Erniu sighed!

"I thought he was going to take us directly to the destination and then use us to fish, but I didn't expect... we'd actually be left to fend for ourselves!"

Erniu was somewhat helpless. He felt that this god, Yu Liuchen, was truly a bit lazy; using him and little Ah Qing as bait was one thing, but he even made the bait run itself!

"He doesn't look professional at all!"

Erniu squatted down and looked at the purple seawater all around!

After thinking for a moment, Xu Qing decided to give a reminder!

"Senior Brother, on the Golden Crow dragon chariot, I caught a glimpse of the inner appearance of the Outer Sea. There are too many terrifying things here, so you... must not court death!"

Upon hearing this, Erniu was immediately unhappy!

"Little Ah Qing, how can you say that about your Senior Brother? That’s too hurtful. I never do things that court death; otherwise, how could I still be alive and well right now!"

"Little Ah Qing, how can you say that about your Senior Brother? Those words are too hurtful. I am a person who never does things that court death; otherwise, how could I still be alive and well right now!"

Xu Qing didn't speak, just looked at Erniu calmly!

Under his gaze, Erniu slowly began to feel a bit guilty, and finally coughed!

"Alright, alright, I won't go courting death!"

They were broken and floating on the sea, seemingly impossible to sink!

Every piece radiated an ancient aura, as if it had witnessed infinite years!

Xu Qing had seen a similar scene before on the dragon chariot and knew that many areas of the Outer Sea were covered in floating ruins, so he shouldn't have been too heavy-hearted, but at this moment, a dark light appeared in his eyes!

"Senior Brother, something is not right..."

As Xu Qing spoke, he walked to the edge of the large wing and, gathering divine source into his eyes, looked toward the direction from which the stones were drifting!

On the pitch-black sea, behind those stones, there was a stretch of ruins!

It was as if a city had collapsed and, after falling apart, had spread its broken walls and ruins across the sea; the area was not small!

And in the very center, there was a tilted, ruined temple.

On the ruined temple, there was actually a small, young figure.

It was a little girl wearing ancient clothing, sitting on the broken wall of the temple, her bare feet dangling, her two legs swinging up and down, looking quite happy!

Her mouth was open, as if she were singing, but no sound came out!

Only a multitude of ghost shadows, so numerous they were astonishing, densely surrounded her, as if they were worshipping her!

The moment he saw this little girl, Xu Qing’s mind shook, and a feeling of hair-raising horror rose inexplicably from the depths of his heart!

It was an instinct from his soul, revealing a strong sign of danger!

As for Erniu, he also saw this scene through his own methods; his pupils contracted violently, and he gasped!

"What kind of thing is this?"

"It doesn't look like a ghost, nor a god, and it certainly can't be a cultivator. This thing doesn't even have the aura of death on it!"

Xu Qing nodded. Raising his right hand to form a seal, the defensive barrier of the large wing was suddenly activated. While guarding the surroundings, under his reinforcement, this special large wing, which looked like an old woman, let out a roar and slowly moved forward.

Time passed, and three days went by!

Xu Qing nodded, and as he raised his right hand to form a seal, the protective barrier of the Great Wing he was in suddenly activated; while guarding the four directions, under his reinforcement, this Great Wing, which resembled an old woman, emitted a roar and slowly moved forward.

Time passed, and three days went by!

During these three days, there was no distinction between day and night in the Outer Seas; it was eternally pitch black!

It was also relatively silent!

The sound of the waves rarely appeared, to the point where it would give one the illusion that they were not on the sea at all!

However, the dampness from the seawater and the increasingly thick scent of blood constantly reminded Xu Qing that this... was indeed the Outer Seas!

Especially for the Great Wing they were on—a giant ship that possessed formidable defenses whether in the Inner Seas or on the Wanggu Continent—after only three days in these Outer Seas, its surface was already covered in a layer of purple mist!

A sense of corrosion also began to emerge!

After sensing it carefully, both Xu Qing and Chen Erniu wore grave expressions!

It was a kind of decay brought about by the passage of time!

"These Outer Seas are truly wicked; not only are they pitch black and silent, but the foreign substances are even thicker and more chaotic, and their effect on external objects is clearly more bizarre... In just three days, the effect on this Great Wing is as if a thousand years have passed!"

Chen Erniu took a deep breath and reached out to touch the mist on the surface of the Great Wing!

Xu Qing’s expression was solemn, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly looked up and gazed into the distance!

The Captain also sensed something and looked over as well!

With their cultivation bases, although their vision could not be perfectly clear in these dark Outer Seas, they could roughly make out outlines, and at this moment, they had already noticed the objects floating on the sea surface ahead!

"They are some irregular things... no, wait, they have no aura at all."

"Could this be the god that Yu Liuchen wants to fish for?"

"But why do I feel that this thing is even..."

"...more terrifying than Yu Liuchen."

Chen Erniu’s breathing grew rapid; his intuition had always been accurate, and at this moment, there was clearly a crisis surpassing that of Yu Liuchen erupting!

"Little Ah Qing... do you think that guy Yu Liuchen might have gone fishing for a fish and ended up catching a shark, playing himself to death?"

Chen Erniu shivered and quickly sent a voice transmission to Xu Qing; Xu Qing’s expression was grave as he maneuvered their Great Wing, preparing to bypass this area!

But just at this moment, the little girl they saw sitting on the ruined temple suddenly turned her head, her pitch-black eyes...

...looking toward them!

A smile appeared at the corners of her mouth!

The next instant... Xu Qing’s mind shook, the divine source gathered in his eyes collapsed in an instant, and even his vision vanished; everything went black before him, and he was directly blinded!

At the same time, he felt an instant chill on his back, as if some existence had just climbed onto his back!

Immediately following this, a childish voice came clearly from behind him, as if it were pressed right against his ear!

"Little big brother, don't keep going; ahead is the end of the sea, and also the end of life!"
