The Sea of Buried Demons lay a hundred miles behind the city of Buried Demons. It appeared to be an ordinary sea, unremarkable at first glance, but thin strands of blood-red mist rose slowly from its surface like steam.
Now, as someone flew above it, he couldn’t help but show astonishment on his face.
Suddenly, a vacuum zone with a diameter of several thousand feet had appeared on the sea surface. All the seawater within had evaporated, leaving countless people gathered around, staring in confusion at the inexplicable phenomenon.
Legend had it that this sea was the burial ground of an extremely powerful ferocious beast. This monstrous creature could darken the sky with a flap of its wings, plunging the world into darkness, and with a single breath, it could swallow an entire ocean.
Of course, these were just legends, and their credibility was questionable. If such a beast truly existed, it would indeed be terrifying.
When Lin Fan landed, he drew the attention of many, but soon they ignored him.
The Yao family in the city of Buried Demons had not expected such an event either.
A black beam of light had persisted for an entire day and night, and no one could approach it. It had only vanished today, drawing the attention of several major sects to investigate the matter.
Lin Fan concealed himself within the crowd, careful not to draw attention.
The major sects present were all powerful, with experts at the Grand Heaven Level among them. If Lin Fan wanted to pull off a major scheme, he had to know his limits.
At this moment, Lin Fan’s gaze sharpened as he spotted an unbelievable figure.
He never expected to see Zou Tenglong, whom he had killed, standing there unharmed. Lin Fan furrowed his brow—something was wrong.
In the Qin Divine Dynasty, Zou Tenglong had clearly been killed by him, yet how could he now be alive and well? Moreover, sensing his aura, it seemed his cultivation had advanced even further.
At this moment, Lin Fan noticed the man standing beside Zou Tenglong, and his heart jolted again.
No… something was definitely off. The auras of these two were completely different from what he had sensed that day.
The King of Qin had clearly only been at the Small Heaven Level before, so how could he now be at the early stage of the Grand Heaven Level?
Lin Fan was now completely baffled, unable to comprehend what was happening.
…
“Yao Tian, although this is your territory, the Sea of Buried Demons does not belong to your Yao family. Now that this anomaly has appeared, everyone has the right to explore it,” several important figures were conversing at this moment, eager to seize the greatest benefits from this event.
“Brother Qinghuo, what do you suggest?” Yao Tian was the current head of the Yao family. He was deeply concerned about the unusual phenomenon at the Sea of Buried Demons. If the Yao family could monopolize it, it would be a tremendous fortune.
But he knew that was impossible.
It was all because the anomaly had lasted far too long, making it impossible to keep secret.
Now that several major sects had arrived, even if the Yao family were powerful, they could not possibly oppose all these sects combined.
“It’s simple—what is found is shared. The Sea of Buried Demons has never shown such an anomaly before. There must be a great treasure hidden beneath. Now that we know the way in, only those below the Grand Heaven Level may enter. Therefore, the six sects plus your Yao family should select disciples to enter,” said a middle-aged man dressed in green robes.
As for the wandering cultivators, they would all be blocked from entering.
“All outsiders, whether from the six sects or the Yao family, must leave now,” Qinghuo declared sternly, staring at everyone at the scene.
With seven major forces already present, adding in the wandering cultivators would create an uncontrollable surge. How could they allow these outsiders to reap the benefits?
Some wandering cultivators were furious but dared not speak out, eventually leaving silently. However, some wore expressions of deep resentment.
“The Sea of Buried Demons belongs to all who see it—why shouldn’t we be allowed in?” one cultivator shouted angrily.
“That’s right!”
“You can’t just act so arrogantly just because you’re powerful!”
…
Lin Fan, hidden in the crowd, watched quietly. He looked at those outspoken cultivators with pity—weren’t they just asking for death?
Sure enough, in an instant, Qinghuo raised his hand, seemingly wielding supreme rule power, lifting those who had spoken into the air. Then, with a flick of his fingers—
Crack!
Those defiant wandering cultivators died instantly.
“I said it clearly—wandering cultivators must leave immediately. If not, don’t blame me for being ruthless…”
…
At this moment, the wandering cultivators were terrified, looking at Qinghuo with fear in their eyes. They hadn’t expected him to kill without hesitation.
Lin Fan looked toward the entrance blocked by several powerful cultivators, feeling helpless. There was no way he could force his way through directly.
Was he really going to give up?
“Blazing Sect.”
“Heaven-Reaching Island.”
“Xianling Sect.”
…
The Burial Sea of Demons lies a hundred miles behind the Burial Demon City. At first glance, it appears to be just an ordinary sea, but upon closer inspection, one can see faint wisps of blood mist rising like steam from the surface.
Now, as I soar through the air, I gaze upon the Burial Sea of Demons with astonishment.
On the sea’s surface, a vacuum zone with a diameter of thousands of feet has suddenly appeared. The seawater there has completely evaporated, and countless people stand by, watching in bewilderment, unsure of what has transpired.
Legend has it that the Burial Sea of Demons is the resting place of an immensely powerful beast. This beast, with a single flap of its wings, could blot out the sun and plunge the world into darkness. With a single breath, it could swallow the entire sea.
Of course, these are just legends, and their credibility is questionable. If such a beast truly existed, it would indeed be terrifying.
As I descended, I attracted the attention of many, but they soon ignored me.
The Demon Clan of Burial Demon City never expected such an event to occur.
The black pillar of light persisted for a full day and night, and no one could approach it. It wasn’t until today that it finally vanished. Several major sects were drawn here to discuss the matter.
I hid among the crowd, careful not to draw attention.
The sects that arrived this time were formidable, each with a Grand Heaven Realm expert among them. I wanted to exploit the situation, but I also knew my limits.
At that moment, my gaze sharpened as I spotted an unbelievable figure.
I never expected to see Zou Tenglong, whom I had killed, here. My brow furrowed—something was amiss.
Zou Tenglong of the Qin Divine Dynasty had clearly been killed by me, so how could he be unharmed now? Moreover, his aura suggested that his cultivation had advanced further.
Then, I noticed the man beside Zou Tenglong, and my heart skipped a beat.
No… no, the auras of these two were completely different from what I had sensed that day.
The Qin King’s cultivation was only at the Minor Heaven Realm, so how could he now be at the early stage of the Grand Heaven Realm?
I was utterly baffled by these two, completely clueless about what was happening.
…
“Demon Heaven, although this is your territory, the Burial Sea of Demons is not the domain of your Demon Clan. Now that anomalies have appeared, everyone has the right to investigate,” several prominent figures were discussing, each vying for the greatest benefit from the situation.
“Brother Qinghuo, what do you propose we do?” Demon Heaven, the current head of the Demon Clan, was more concerned about the anomalies in the Burial Sea of Demons than anyone else. If the Demon Clan could seize it all, it would be a monumental victory.
But he knew that was impossible.
The anomaly had persisted for too long, making it impossible to conceal.
Now that several major sects had arrived, even if the Demon Clan was powerful, it couldn’t possibly stand against them all.
“Simple—those who see it, share it. The Burial Sea of Demons has never shown such anomalies before, so there must be a great treasure hidden beneath. The method of entry is now known to all, and only those below the Grand Heaven Realm can enter. So, our six sects, along with your Demon Clan, will select disciples to enter. How does that sound?” said a middle-aged man in green robes.
As for the rogue cultivators, they were all to be barred from entering.
“All those outside the six sects and the Demon Clan, leave now!” At that moment, Qinghuo glared at the crowd and barked.
The seven major powers were already numerous, and with the addition of these rogue cultivators, the situation was like a tidal wave. There was no way they would let these freeloaders take advantage.
Some rogue cultivators were furious but dared not speak out, eventually leaving in silence. Others, however, wore expressions of resentment.
“The Burial Sea of Demons—those who see it, share it. Why can’t we enter?” one rogue cultivator shouted.
“That’s right…”
“You can’t just bully us because you’re powerful.”
…
I hid in the crowd, watching quietly, feeling a pang of sympathy for these cannon fodder. Were they seeking death?
Sure enough, in an instant, Qinghuo raised his hand, as if wielding supreme power, and lifted the outspoken rogue cultivators into the air. With a snap of his fingers…
Crack…
The defiant rogue cultivators were instantly killed.
“I said, all rogue cultivators must leave, or don’t blame me for being ruthless…”
…
At that moment, the rogue cultivators were terrified, staring at Qinghuo in fear. They hadn’t expected him to kill without hesitation.
I looked ahead at the entrance blocked by the powerful figures, feeling helpless. Forcing my way through was impossible.
Was I really going to have to give up?
“Flame Sect.”
“Skyreach Island.”
“Spirit Immortal Sect.”
…
The six major sects, each with a Grand Heaven Realm expert, and the head of the Demon Clan, whose cultivation was at the peak of the Minor Heaven Realm. But I knew the Demon Clan’s ancestor was hidden somewhere in the void, watching silently.
Slipping past several Grand Heaven Realm experts was beyond my capabilities.
Especially since the Qin King, who had a grudge against me, was also at the Grand Heaven Realm.
“Sigh…”
At that moment, I scratched my head, feeling utterly helpless. Was I really going to leave empty-handed today?
Then, I noticed a map in the hands of some rogue cultivators, and my heart skipped a beat.
“The Seven Saints’ Treasure Map?”
But it was only a fragment, incomplete.
So, the reason so many sect disciples and rogue cultivators had gathered in Burial Demon City was because of the “Seven Saints’ Treasure Map.”
But who had spread it? As for the Seven Saints? Impossible—they were all skeletons now. What could they do?
And what about the black pillar of light? Was there something else hidden here besides the “Seven Saints’ Treasure Map”?
“The Demon Clan and the six major sects are going too far,” some rogue cultivators whispered as they left, their hearts filled with reluctance. But if they stayed, they risked their lives.
“What can we do? If we don’t leave, we’ll probably be killed here.”
“Sigh…”
Qinghuo glared at the rogue cultivators, his anger boiling over. He let out a thunderous roar.
“Get out of here now!”
The crowd was shaken by the roar, the power of the Grand Heaven Realm infused with rules, something they couldn’t withstand.
“Boom…”
In an instant, the earth shook, and the Burial Sea of Demons underwent another transformation.
Everyone’s faces turned pale, unsure of what was happening.
At that moment, the solid, yellow ground began to shift, cracks forming in the earth. From within the cracks, a bright light shone, and a mysterious aura emerged.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted.
“This is the entrance! Everyone, hurry down!”
In an instant, the rogue cultivators began to discuss fervently. Qinghuo’s face turned cold. “Seeking death…”
At that moment, the heavens and earth changed color. Qinghuo, the Grand Heaven Realm expert, was about to unleash a palm strike to suppress everyone.
The giant hand formed in the air, blotting out the sky, and a crushing pressure descended.
I knew that if I didn’t run, I would die.
So, through the crack, I leapt down, followed by many rogue cultivators. For wealth, men would risk death; for food, birds would do the same. In such a perilous place, though dangerous, the potential rewards made them forget all risks.
Lin Fan wasn’t arrogant enough to think he could sneak past several Grand Heaven Level experts.
Especially with the King of Qin, who had a grudge against him, also at the Grand Heaven Level.
Sigh…
At this moment, Lin Fan scratched his head, clearly frustrated. Was he really going to gain nothing today?
Just then, Lin Fan noticed some maps in the hands of wandering cultivators, and his heart jolted.
“The Seven Holy Treasure Map”?
But this map was only a fragment, incomplete.
No wonder so many sect disciples and wandering cultivators had gathered in the Buried Demon City—it was all because of the Seven Holy Treasure Map.
But who had distributed it? As for the Seven Sages? That was absolutely impossible—they were all skeletons by now.
But then, what was the black beam of light? Could there be something else hidden here besides the Seven Holy Treasure Map?
“The Yao family and the six major sects are going too far,” murmured several wandering cultivators as they discussed softly and left. They were reluctant, but they knew staying would endanger their lives.
“What can we do? If we don’t leave, we might all be killed here.”
Sigh…
Qinghuo, watching the wandering cultivators, suddenly grew furious and roared with a thunderous voice.
“Get out now!”
Everyone was shaken by this roar. The voice of a Grand Heaven Level expert, filled with the power of rules, was something they could not resist.
Boom!
In an instant, the earth trembled, and the Sea of Buried Demons changed once again.
Everyone’s expressions changed dramatically, unsure of what had happened.
At that moment, the hard, yellow earth suddenly contracted. Cracks tore open the ground, revealing a radiant light and a mysterious aura emanating from below.
At the same time, someone in the crowd shouted loudly.
“This is the entrance—everyone, hurry down!”
In an instant, the wandering cultivators erupted into discussion. Qinghuo’s expression darkened. “Daring to defy me—die!”
At this moment, the sky and earth changed. Qinghuo, a Grand Heaven Level expert, was about to strike down with a palm that would suppress everyone.
The massive hand condensed in the air, covering the sky and casting a terrifying pressure.
Lin Fan’s heart tightened. If he didn’t run, he would die.
He quickly slipped through a gap and leapt downward. Many wandering cultivators followed suit, jumping in as well. Driven by greed, they risked their lives for the treasures below, forgetting all danger.
