Chapter 654

Especially in the sea regions, and in the more distant oceans, there were even experts at the Venerable realm who had personally dived in, braving mortal danger just to take part in this struggle for supremacy.

The fighting here grew ever fiercer; any seemingly ordinary creature might well turn out to be the master of some Shenshan, or the island lord of some Sea God Island.

This place teemed with the strong, and the battles were intense. A few youths carved out illustrious renown, their valor unstoppable, as if war gods reborn, their might shaking the entire sea region.

Even cultivators at the Spirit Transformation realm were slain by them. The few of them claimed to be invincible here; even the reincarnation of a divine spirit seemed no match.

Even in the course of the fighting, the famous Wang Hou was cut down by one of these very youths.

"Marquis Xuanhai has fallen in battle, withered away in this stretch of sea!"

Once such news spread, it shocked the entire North Sea. Marquis Xuanhai was a rising powerhouse of his generation, ennobled at a young age, a symbol of boundless potential — and yet he had died here in the North Sea.

"Marquis Kunyu has perished!"

The beings of the land were also shocked, for this Wang Hou was a marquis of great fame, a name that carried tremendous weight.

The news was sensational. All manner of great figures had perished in the chaotic fighting. Some of them came from enormous backgrounds — marquis-level figures of both sea and land, beings above the Spirit Transformation realm — yet all of them had fallen here.

Not a single one of the dead was a weakling; the news swept across this stretch of sea.

By this time, Fang Yu and Little Dummy Shi Hao had long since left the land and arrived before a great Ducheng.

This Ducheng looked rather grand. Its ancient city walls, as if cast from metal, carried a cold, austere sheen — towering and magnificent, like a great city left behind from the age of gods and demons.

"Master, we've now arrived at the Ducheng of Stone Country. It seems several years earlier than we imagined."

Little Dummy gazed at the Ducheng before him. This was a place where he had once lived, but due to all manner of unpleasant events, he had left it behind.

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Little Dummy, if it's time to come back, then come back."

Fang Yu said at his ease.
