At the core of the Blood Sea Suspended Coffin.
The thousand-foot blood coffin, shrouded by a pitch-black giant net, erupted with terrifying deep red blood light, lifting a corner of the dark net.
Demonic light surged, and the entire Endless Land began to churn. Hu Yan Zan and Abbot Shi Tu were suppressed by the blood light emanating from the blood coffin. As time went on, they could no longer take a single step forward, their primordial spirits beginning to fade, as if they would merge with this world in the next moment.
Outside the Blood Sea Suspended Coffin.
Huang Zhong was filled with unease. The blood-red seal before him began to liquefy, dripping drop by drop like fresh blood. The moment the scarlet liquid touched the ground, wisps of black mist erupted, staining the earth a deep black.
This made Huang Zhong fearful. However, he was not afraid of the strange phenomenon before him, but for Abbot Shi Tu and Hu Yan Zan, who were inside the Blood Sea Suspended Coffin. Even the blood-red seal outside the coffin had begun to change, and the ethereal black liquid possessed the ability to corrode everything. Streams of energy flowed through the void, causing Huang Zhong's hair to stand on end.
What unimaginable terror had Abbot Shi Tu and Hu Yan Zan experienced within the Blood Sea Suspended Coffin that even its outer perimeter had been affected?
Inside the Blood Sea Suspended Coffin, through a torn corner of the pitch-black net, rolling blood-red qi drifted out from the coffin seams. A colossal shadowy phantom of an unclear form flickered into existence in this realm. The massive phantom radiated deep red light, shimmering in the dark space like a river of blood flowing from the depths of space, interspersed with lightning. The phantom was as deep red as blood, and in some parts where it flashed, there were scales resembling dragon scales. However, these dragon-scale-like scales erupted with boundless thunder, and blood light surged.
"Boom!!"
Layers of deep red gas completely enveloped Abbot Shi Tu and Hu Yan Zan, then attached themselves to their primordial spirits.
"Roar!"
At this moment, the shattering armor shone with divine light once more, and the White Tiger divine beast and the Gluttonous fierce beast reappeared, their blood-red eyes fixed on the mysterious phantom hidden in the pitch-black space.
Facing the might of the White Tiger and the Gluttonous, the colossal phantom moving in the dark space erupted with indescribable blood light, merging with the lightning that filled the sky. It was like a giant blood-silver net stretching across the heavens, enveloping the condensed White Tiger and Gluttonous, with traces of scarlet and lightning coursing over them.
With every clash of lightning, the armor on Hu Yan Zan and Abbot Shi Tu gradually dimmed, the armor began to recede, disappearing into the dark void.
Accompanied by cries of agony, the White Tiger and the Gluttonous were completely swallowed by the blood-silver net, and wisps of blood qi converged towards the colossal mysterious phantom.
"Ah!!"
Hu Yan Zan and Abbot Shi Tu's legs could no longer withstand the immense pressure and shattered, turning into specks of starlight. Already depleted of spiritual energy, their legs now gone, they collapsed to the ground, both looking in terror at the mysterious phantom hidden in the void.
The pitch-black void, scales as deep red as blood—only this much could they see clearly at this point. As for anything else, they saw nothing.
Divine thunder rumbled across the sky, and under the silver light of the divine thunder, they still could not discern what creature the colossal phantom was.
"General Hu, catch!"
Abbot Shi Tu took out a pill he had prepared long ago and, with great effort, threw it to Hu Yan Zan. With the boost from the pill, they recovered some spiritual energy. Su Dan Novel Network
However, they still did not dare to move. The mysterious phantom that had emerged from the thousand-foot blood coffin had not attempted to kill them. Their current state was merely a phenomenon brought about by the phantom's divine power as it broke free from the pitch-black net and the thousand-foot blood coffin.
A mere display of its power had suppressed Hu Yan Zan and Abbot Shi Tu, rendering them immobile. Perhaps if the phantom had merely exhaled lightly, they would have vanished from this world.
"Whoosh~~~"
A breath-like sound emanated, and the entire pitch-black land shook as if the sky was collapsing!
"White Tiger?"
"Gluttonous?"
"Such a familiar scent, yet it feels so ancient. Lacking the essence of a true physical body, a mere illusory manifestation!"
A voice of great authority resounded from the boundless heavens!
"Mortal beings, do you know who rules this realm? And what day is it today?"
"Hmm?"
After waiting for several breaths and receiving no answer from Hu Yan Zan and Abbot Shi Tu, the voice began to show displeasure.
This was not entirely their fault. The Great Han Imperial Dynasty's current knowledge was limited to only a few Dao Provinces, let alone the three thousand Dao Provinces of this realm.
What day is it today?
Who rules this realm?
How could they possibly know!
"Presumptuous!"
A roar of fury erupted, and lightning surged across the sky, like the firmament collapsing and a thunder pool pouring down upon them!
Witnessing this terrifying scene, they both closed their eyes. How could they possibly withstand this thunderous wrath!
"Boom!!"
A deafening sound, like surging waves!
They waited for a long time, but instead of the thunder striking, the divine might and pressure that filled the sky completely vanished after a loud roar.
"You two brats!"
"In Blood Sea City, didn't I tell you not to approach the core of the Blood Sea Suspended Coffin?"
Hu Yan Zan and Abbot Shi Tu slightly opened their eyes and saw the old man with a gray and white tall hat, the one who sold spirit servants in Blood Sea City, casually dusting the dirt off his clothes.
"Now you know my words were not spoken idly. This place is too ancient, far older than the three thousand Dao Provinces of this realm, and it's not something you or your Great Han Imperial Dynasty can comprehend!"
"Zhu!"
The old man with the gray and white tall hat looked up at the colossal phantom hidden in the deep red in the pitch-black void and said softly, "It seems some restrictions need to be strengthened!!"
"You!"
"You have imprisoned me for several epochs. Has he truly forgotten the favors from back then?"
"Does he still remember the blood battle I fought for him to cleave open the heavens and reach the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?"
The colossal phantom, hidden in the pitch-black void, sounded somewhat angry.
"Alas!"
The old man with the gray and white tall hat shook his head slightly, his tone filled with sorrow. "You are unlikely to see him in this lifetime. Perhaps even I will never see him again!"
"This realm has weathered the fall of gods and has gradually stabilized. The Tree of Heaven that connects to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths has been burned by him. Abandon your fantasies and sincerely repent and atone here!"
"I will wait until the day your chaotic divine blood is completely worn away!"
After the old man with the gray and white tall hat finished speaking, he pointed his finger. The pitch-black energy filling the sky gradually pressed down, like a dark firmament descending. The arrogant and terrifying phantom was once again locked back into the thousand-foot blood coffin!
