Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

This news came suddenly, yet it was not surprising.

A powerhouse of Zhen Yuanzi's level always acts swiftly and decisively; since he brought Ping'an into the Chaos Sea, he absolutely could not simply wait outside.

Xu Zhangqing gazed at the surging gray-white sea of mist, remaining silent for a moment.

Although the Spirit Plant Division's supply line runs right beside the Chaos Sea,

this place is ultimately just the edge of the Chaos Sea, and a relatively remote stretch of that edge at that.

The main eruption point of the cosmic tide is on the other side; that is where the true battlefield lies.

The direction Zhen Yuanzi took Xu Ping'an into should be the core area where chaotic qi is densest and tidal fluctuations are most violent.

Therefore, what is salvaged from the core area is richer and rarer than what is found here.

Linglong tugged at Xu Zhangqing's sleeve, looking at him expectantly: "Father, when are we going in?"

Xu Zhangqing glanced down at her, then looked at Ruo Qunshuang, Qingyao, and Zhang Zaizhi, and after thinking said: "No rush, let's try our hand at the edge first."

Just like that, they waited another half an hour or so.

The rhythm of the cosmic tide clearly quickened.

Previously, waves crashed roughly once every incense stick's time; now it had shortened to half an incense stick's time.

The waves were more ferocious; each time one crashed, the edge of the chaotic qi would be torn open with dense black fissures.

Those fissures vanished in an instant, but each one spewed out a large amount of spiritual light.

Xu Zhangqing led the four of them out of the Spirit Plant Division's defensive array range and stood on the last safety line at the edge of the Chaos Sea.

The void beneath their feet began to tremble, and gray-white chaotic mist surged outward beyond the light wall.

Xu Zhangqing's gaze locked onto a streak of light thrown out from the tidal wave: "Starting from this distance."

That streak of light moved extremely fast, trailing a golden tail, flying toward the direction of the camp.

He moved his foot, his figure vanished from the spot, and the next moment he appeared several li away.

He immediately extended his right hand, five fingers grasping in the air.

Hum!

A five-colored radiance transformed into a large hand, precisely seizing that streak of light.

The streak of light struggled violently within the five-colored hand; the golden radiance on its surface was crushed hard, and then its true form was revealed.

It looked like a palm-sized piece of black metal.

It was extremely heavy in hand, its surface covered in natural patterns, and deep within the patterns, a dark red glow flowed slowly.

Xu Zhangqing flipped it over twice, then casually tossed it to Zhang Zaizhi: "Elder Zhang, what is this?"

Zhang Zaizhi caught it and weighed it, raising an eyebrow: "Chaos Xuan Iron, not a low grade; it is top-grade material for the embryo of an immortal artifact.

Just this small piece, outside it could at least be exchanged for a small spirit stone mine."

He paused, then added: "But this is just debris washed out; there are larger chunks in the Chaos Sea."

Xu Zhangqing nodded, about to speak, when the void beneath their feet shook violently.

Boom!

A tidal fluctuation far more violent than before rolled over from the depths of the Chaos Sea.

The gray-white chaotic mist was pushed by this fluctuation, sweeping toward the edge like a tsunami; the Spirit Plant Division camp's defensive array was shaken until it flickered uncertainly, emitting a piercing hum.

Immediately after, a fissure burst open on the surface layer of the chaotic mist.

Something drilled out from the fissure.

It was a gray-white snake-shaped unique species, over a hundred zhang in length.

It had no eyes; its head had only a constantly opening and closing circular mouthpart, inside which were densely packed inward-curving barbs.

After drilling out from the fissure, its entire body emitted a suffocating corrosive qi, and the surrounding void was eroded by this corrosive qi, making a "hissing" sound.

"Chaos Species!"

Zhang Zaizhi's expression changed; subconsciously he stepped forward, shielding Ruo Qunshuang and Linglong behind him, an array plate already pinched in his hand.

Ruo Qunshuang drew the Azure Horn Dividing Water Sword; the chi dragon phantom on the sword body sensed the threat and let out a low dragon roar.

The Spirit-Locking Ring on Qingyao's wrist lit up automatically, and seventy-two restrictions began to flow.

Linglong slapped the Glazed Pure Fire Lamp at her waist; the lamp wick "poof" shot up several zhang of glazed flame, burning the approaching corrosive qi clean.

Xu Zhangqing looked back at them and said calmly: "I'll handle it."

Before his voice faded, he moved.

Shrinking Ground to an Inch.

He took a step, and was already directly above the snake-shaped unique species.

The unique species sensed his aura; its mouthpart opened wide to the limit, and a stream of gray-white corrosive liquid spurted out, melting the void wherever it passed.

Xu Zhangqing neither dodged nor evaded; he clenched his right hand and threw a punch.

Boom!!!

The fist gang smashed onto the top of the unique species' head; the hundred-zhang-long snake body was pierced from head to tail by this punch, its gray-white body exploding section by section, chaotic corrosive qi and flesh fragments scattering everywhere.

The snake-shaped unique species couldn't even cry out; its entire body collapsed into sky-filling gray powder under the impact of the fist gang.

Then it was swept away by the chaotic mist and dissipated cleanly.

From throwing the punch to the end, it took only a single breath.

Xu Zhangqing withdrew his fist and turned back to the front of the group.

Ruo Qunshuang's hand gripping the Green Chi Water-Splitting Sword remained frozen in mid-air.

Zhang Zaizhi held an array plate in his hand, and the spiritual light on the array plate had not yet had time to brighten.

Qingyao opened her mouth but could not utter a single word.

Linglong poked her head out from behind Ruo Qunshuang, her eyes wide and round: "Father is so powerful!"

Xu Zhangqing rubbed her head and smiled: "Keep going deeper inside."

Next, the five people advanced deeper along the edge of the Chaos Sea.

The deeper they went inside, the higher the concentration of the Chaos Fog became.

Visibility shrank from several hundred zhang to several dozen zhang, then shrank to within ten zhang.

The surrounding void was eroded by Chaos Qi into unevenness, and some places even had permanent space folds.

The number of Chaos Species also clearly increased; every certain distance, several black shadows drifting in the fog could be seen.

Xu Zhangqing took action several more times.

A multi-eyed strange species fifty zhang in length was turned into powder by him with Five-Colored Divine Light.

A group of small strange species were scattered and fled in panic by him being deterred with the breath of the Ten Thousand Insects Mother Nest.

An Ao Shrimp strange species lurking inside a space fold failed in its ambush and was finally shattered by him with one palm, dead beyond death.

Zhang Zaizhi remained silent and taciturn all the way, only occasionally appraising the scattered objects flying out from the tide.

He was very clear in his heart that Xu Zhangqing was exploring the environment of the Chaos Sea and the distribution patterns of strange species, preparing for deeper exploration.

Ruo Qunshuang and Qingyao were not idle either; the two cooperated with Zhang Zaizhi to collect the scattered spiritual light within a safe distance.

Although it was not a great opportunity, they had gathered more than a dozen chaos mineral stones of decent cultivation grade.

Only Linglong was protected by others the whole way, occasionally patting the glazed lamp at her waist to help everyone clear away the decaying qi near them.

They had entered several hundred li deep.

The Chaos Fog ahead suddenly became somewhat thinner, and a relatively open area appeared in their field of vision.

And there were already people in that area!
