Chapter 286 The Death Sea

“Blue-soul Blood again! B*stard!” Lyu Liang was outraged.

When he embraced Zhao Mingquan, he scanned this man out of habit. But then, he found that ghostlike blue mark again, and realized that something disastrous would soon happen!

Since Lyu Liang came to the Nether Big World, Xuan’s alarm sometimes failed to work. Xuan explained that this was because something had surpassed the Law of Heaven.

After such a dramatic journey, Lyu Liang had got used to the unconventionality here. Meanwhile, Tian’s importance became more evident. After all, without Xuan’s help, he would have to take other types of precautions.

Lyu Liang broke out of Zhao Mingquan’s embrace not to escape that talisman. Instead, an indistinct black beam caught his attention, causing his Divine Soul to tremble, as if death was approaching! Therefore, he would rather be stuck with a talisman, than touch that black beam.

Of course, although he had avoided a severe disaster, things were still a bit tricky for him!

He did not feel any discomfort from that humble talisman, but then, he felt a fit of dizziness. His experience through the years, told him that he would surely be transferred to another place!

Just as he expected, when he regained consciousness, he was in a chaotic place. At the same time, his resentment for the masked female grew.

“This is… water? What kind of water is this!” After cursing for a while, he looked around, and his pupils narrowed suddenly. He was standing right in the water, whose weird atmosphere showed that it was definitely something extraordinary!

It was like the ocean, enveloped by chaotic fog within a range of 3000 meters around Lyu Liang. Even with Tian’s help, he could not probe much farther.

The water was dark gray, and emitted a putrid stink, from time to time.

Most importantly, the level of this field was rather strange!

Lyu Liang felt that the field kept changing between the middle level and the low level, as a result of which, his cultivation also hovered between the Middle-stage of Heavenly Master and the Peak of Almighty Immortal. Besides, within one and a half hours, the changes did not follow any regular pattern at all!

“You are not tied up by the Void Chain? But even so, you can’t escape from here!” As a surprised voice sounded, six figures appeared around Lyu Liang. All of them were powerful cultivators, wrapped in black robes.

“The Ghost King Sect…” With Tian’s talent, Lyu Liang recognized those golden pupils under the hoods of four people. As for the other two men, due to some their having some secret methods, Lyu Liang could not see through them at all.

As for their cultivation, they were all at the Peak of Supreme Master!

“Boy, be smart! Take defense first, and launch attacks only when the field falls to the low level! But remember that you can use only use the Star-picking Palm three times!” Lyu Liang totally agreed with White’s strategy. After all, he would undoubtedly lose in the middle-level world, especially when he still needed three days to recover his Divine Mark.

But as he moved, he frowned immediately. Even though he had stimulated the Devil Thunder Wing and the Kun Peng Skill, his speed was just a little faster than someone at the Gold Core level…

But to his relief, his opponents’ speeds were also restricted. Besides, their moves were evidently limited by an invisible barrier.

Anyway, since the place was vast and his opponents were not that many, Lyu Liang did not find it hard to avoid the attacks. At least, he would not be besieged by more than two people.

But Lyu Liang was confused as to why there were only six people ambushing him, if this was a deliberate trap.

“Eh? It’s now!” Lyu Liang’s eyes suddenly lit up, because the field had turned to the low level!

Before this moment, six people besieged Lyu Liang first, but owing to the vastness of the space and the restrictions on their moves, only two of them at most, could approach Lyu Liang at the same time.

But when the field level changed, their cultivation also dropped to the Peak of Almighty Immortal.

Just then, Lyu Liang moved instantly!

Instead of defending or escaping, he issued an instantaneous flash and stimulated the Star-picking Palm, which struck the stunned black-robed people, instantly!

Without giving any resistance, the black-robed people broke into pieces, and died immediately!

But Lyu Liang did not feel relieved at all, because, with Tian’s talent, he saw a weird smile on the man’s face, at the last moment!

What the other five people did afterward, also corroborated with the oddness here.

“It seems that, without the Void Chain, we can’t subdue you at all… If so, let me ask you one last time, are you willing to give me the Spiritual Body? As long as you give her to us, I will let you go safely and will not bother you anymore!” The Ghost-faced Immortal’s voice sounded suddenly, and yet it was from the mouth of a black-robed person, who was flying over, at a distance.

“He’s not the Ghost-faced Immortal. The voice was transmitted through a high-level method! Boy, I have a very bad hunch! This place is probably the Death Sea!” White said seriously, in a tone filled with resentment.

“Over my dead body! As long as I’m alive, I won’t let you touch Linglong!” Lyu Liang refused them directly. Anyway, whether he made it clear or not, he was set to oppose them from then on.

The Ghost-faced Immortal seemed to anticipate Lyu Liang’s answer, and made no further remarks. At the same time, the speaker enveloped himself with a gray light cover, and the other four people began detonating themselves!

“What is the Death Sea?” Lyu Liang asked, as he retreated. Although the impact of the self-explosions was suppressed by the weird Power of Law, he knew that these people did not expect to kill him in this way!

“Putridity Qi! It’s the Putridity Qi! The Putridity Qi… of the Death Sea… You’re in great trouble… Boy, you’ve brought me too many surprises…” White said in astonishment, letting out a wry laugh.

Meanwhile, Lyu Liang smelt a queer aura coming from the East, which was something between the Life Qi and the Death Qi. Besides, the still water began flowing slowly!

“Hiss!” An oppressive shriek stunned Lyu Liang’s tough Divine Soul greatly. Then, a stink of rancidity began to surround him!

“I did not expect that a Chaotic Ancient Place would exist in a middle-level world. It should have disappeared a long time ago… Is that a horror beast?” “It should have died! Boy, try to escape and don’t fight. Even an Emperor can’t subdue that creature! Unless… forget it… it won’t try to appear…” White murmured, seemingly having understood something, “The weird creature in the mine… I should have thought of this earlier…”

White’s words confused Lyu Liang greatly.

He knew that his opponent this time was something intractable, but what was the horror beast? He had heard about the demon beast, the spirit beast, the wild beast, but the horror beast was a new term to him.

But still, he followed White’s instruction at once, directly dashing in the opposite direction. However, as the stink became stronger, he could feel that his speed was slowing down considerably!

“In the ancient time of the Chaos World, there was a group of formidable creatures called horror beasts. All of them had invincible power and an instinct for swallowing and fighting. Besides, they were immortal! During that age, no other living things or cultivators could survive alongside them. Therefore, that age was also called ‘Dark Turmoil’.” White swallowed and went on, “Fortunately, about one million years ago, the universe fell apart, and these horror beasts gradually lost the space and environment for living, which threatened their survival and suppressed their powers greatly. After hundreds of thousands of years, the Divine Clan Space came into being. Numerous Emperors began exterminating the rest of the horror beasts, who posed a huge threat to them. Although they succeeded, the cost was too immense.”

Then, White raised his tone, “It appeared! Move faster! Don’t touch the gray fog!”

Stunned, Lyu Liang scanned with his Divine Sense and became alarmed!

This was a creature totally different from what he had imagined!

The outline of an over-three-hundred-meter tall monster gradually appeared against the chaotic fog, in the East!

It looked like a massive blood-red mushroom! At its top were innumerable bleeding blisters, and its stout lower part had about 1,000 elongated, white tentacles attached to it. The end of each tentacle was covered by a gray fog, revealing two yellow light spots. Seeing that, Lyu Liang immediately thought of the weird creature in the mine, mentioned by Feng Mazi!

The horror beast moved slowly, but as the chaotic fog emerged, the gray clouds on its tentacles left its body and chased after Lyu Liang, at a rather high speed!

Escape!

This was Lyu Liang’s only thought! When the opponent was such a monster beyond one’s cognition, any idea of fighting it, would be foolish and ridiculous.

“Avoid the lightning!” As White warned hastily, Lyu Liang dodged aside. A slender, golden flash of lightning emerged suddenly, and then vanished.

“Lightning in the water?” It really drove Lyu Liang crazy…

“This is its talent, which is not what you can tackle with your Five-Elements Body! There is an entrance at the front! Break that fog!” White’s voice sounded hopeful again, which inspired Lyu Liang to strive on.

Afterward, Lyu Liang rushed forward as he tried to dodge the irregular lightning strikes. Of course, the greatest threat were the gray fogs. As long as they were less than 30 meters away from Lyu Liang, it would swell and turn into a huge mouth to snap at him! Besides, it exuded a formidable aura all over, which also discouraged Lyu Liang.

But as Lyu Liang approached the entrance, the black-robed people, who had been staying in the gray light cover, appeared. Then, the Ghost-faced Immortal’s manic voice sounded again, “I can let you go if you give me the Spiritual Body! Or…”

But before he could finish talking, his chest was penetrated by a silver flash, which shot out from Ly Liang’s body, and died instantly!

At the same time, Linglong appeared beside Lyu Liang, with her golden eyes. Together with another two silver figures, she rushed at the countless gray fogs behind him!

“Come back!” Lyu Liang dragged Linglong back at once, and stimulated a golden flash, planning to stun her and get her back into the cave residence.

However, to his surprise, Linglong flashed away with a sly smile and said softly, “My cultivation is not suppressed here, so I can hold them off for you! It has always been you protecting me. But this time, let me protect you!” Then, she flew back directly.

“No! No!” Suddenly, Lyu Liang felt fearful and anguished. For him, the greatest pain was not dying, but seeing someone die for him!

At this moment, the field changed to the middle level again. Lyu Liang gritted his teeth, the soul spirit rising from his head. With several instantaneous flashes, he caught up with Linglong and dragged her back, defending in front of her, with determination.

The entrance was near, but he had lost the last chance to get there. Over 10 gray fogs besieged them entirely, and revealed their scaring red maws, exuding the horrific aura of almost the Early-stage of Tao Ancestor!

“Why did I destroy the Human-skin Scroll at that time…” Lyu Liang gave a wry smile as he turned around. He held Linglong tightly, stroking her long, beautiful hair.

“It’s so good… to meet you…” Linglong gradually relaxed her body, gazing at this resolute man with tenderness. Leaning in his arms, she murmured internally, “Perhaps, I was destined to meet my doom here with him …”
