Nie Qiu Ying slightly opened his eyes, divine fire blazing within them, a cold glint flashing in the depths. With a mere glance at Yun Si, he did not attack, but closed his eyes again. The conflict between them was far from being resolved by a single battle.
The most important thing now was how to maximize the benefits of his Sword Bone lineage within the Blood Sea Suspended Coffin.
"Uninteresting!"
Yun Si watched Nie Qiu Ying, who remained motionless. The malevolent aura of blood around him dissipated. He glanced at his surroundings, then led the few Void God realm beings behind him to sit down, awaiting the opening of the Blood Sea Suspended Coffin.
As time passed, more and more beings arrived from Blood Sea City, moving with little fanfare. The commotion Yun Si had caused alone had already intimidated the surrounding forces; who would dare to provoke a supreme being at this juncture?
Beings clad in peculiar attire, starkly contrasting with those from the Divine Territories and the Dao Provinces, hurried towards the Blood Sea Suspended Coffin at an astonishing speed, lest they miss the opportunity to enter. After all, missing this chance meant they would likely never enter alive again.
"Why don't I see any other powerful beings from the Divine Territories among these four regions?"
After Yun Si and his group from the Dragon Elephant Ancient Kingdom settled down, no True God realm beings appeared among the densely packed arriving forces, including those from other Dao Provinces.
An elder next to him glanced at a young-looking being beside him, whose cultivation and spiritual energy cultivation were rather poor. It was estimated that this young being was here merely for the experience and was not qualified to enter the Blood Sea Suspended Coffin.
"I see your vitality is strong, though your cultivation and spiritual energy are slightly lacking. You must be here to witness the True God powerhouses, right?"
"There's a reason why the True Gods from other Dao Provinces aren't here!"
"Oh?"
The elder's words immediately drew the attention of many nearby beings.
"This Blood Sea Suspended Coffin has existed since ancient times. No being has been able to fully comprehend what it is, why it's called the Blood Sea Suspended Coffin, why it possesses the terrifying ability to annihilate beings above the Void God realm, and why this land is abandoned by the Great Dao."
"The Divine Territories have weathered the long river of time, and powerful sects and forces have successively been destroyed. Only now has the Gate of Fortune risen in power and unified the Divine Territories. However, its foundation is far from enough to completely control the Blood Sea Suspended Coffin."
"To the northeast of our Divine Territories lies the Lingxu Dao Province, ruled by the Lingxu Palace. Below that is the Yunhai Dao Province, led by the Nangong Family. To the east of Lingxu Dao Province is the Yanyun Dao Province, ruled by the Jiuli Heavenly Dynasty. And to the southeast of our Divine Territories is the Wanyuan Dao Province, governed by the Anyuan Heavenly Dynasty!"
"These four forces are on par with the Gate of Fortune. The five major powers have been in constant friction for control of the Blood Sea Suspended Coffin, resulting in the deaths of countless True God and Void God realm beings, yet no victor has emerged!"
"After considering all factors, the five major powers negotiated for millions of years before establishing a strict rule: each of the five major powers will control the Blood Sea Suspended Coffin for five million years. This way, all five major powers will have the opportunity to preside over its opening once."
"This is relatively fair to the five major powers. Whichever power's turn it is becomes their home ground, and Void Gods from the other four major powers are not allowed to enter the Blood Sea Suspended Coffin, but must await their own turn. However, there are no significant restrictions on other weaker forces and sects within their respective Dao Provinces!"
"According to you, then, this time it's our Divine Territories' home ground?"
A young being frowned, looking at the elder who seemed to know everything.
"That's right. This opening of the Blood Sea Suspended Coffin is our Divine Territories' home ground. According to the rules, Void Gods from the Gate of Fortune can enter. As for the Lingxu Palace, Jiuli Heavenly Dynasty, Nangong Family, and Anyuan Heavenly Dynasty, they will have to wait for their next opportunity. After a rotation, it will be millions of years before it falls into the hands of the Gate of Fortune again!"
The elder sighed wistfully.
"What if the cultivation method of the Supreme True God is found by the Gate of Fortune?"
A being hastily asked. The secrets of the Blood Sea Suspended Coffin were numerous, but the most precious now was the cultivation method of the Supreme True God. Such an opportunity was hard to come by.
"Heh heh!"
The elder chuckled coldly. "What then? Fight! Only the strong deserve to possess the cultivation method of the Supreme True God!"
"Currently, the Blood Sea Suspended Coffin has only been partially revealed by various forces. However, a large part of it is now used by forces like the Gate of Fortune as an excellent training ground for the younger generation. There are countless masterless primordial spirits in the Void God realm here, as well as some beasts unknown to the world. It's perfect for the younger generation of Void Gods and Divine Fire realm beings to hone their combat skills!"
The elder looked at some of the younger Void God realm beings and said solemnly, "If any of you enter the Blood Sea Suspended Coffin and encounter beings from the Gate of Fortune, you must stay far away and avoid any conflict. Don't forget, we share the same sky, and this sky belongs to Fortune."
"Once you offend a being from the Gate of Fortune, you will face utter destruction, even if you escape to other Dao Provinces, you will still die!"
Having spoken his piece, the elder looked into the distance. "And those from the Ancient Lion Kingdom and other forces, if you have great fortune and find the cultivation method of the Supreme True God, I suggest you best keep it quiet. Possessing great fortune without the strength to protect it is a disaster!"
"Rumble~ thud thud thud~~"
Just then, dense clouds of dust erupted in the distant sky. The sound of hooves thundered across the land, shaking the very earth.
As the sound drew nearer, from the direction of Blood Sea City, an iron-clad army clad in blood-red armor galloped forth.
Two banners, like divine swords, vibrated in the void!
One bore the character "Blood!", the other "Guard!".
The two banners pointed the direction of the army. The vast blood-colored army, mounted on steeds, kicked up thick dust on the distant land. Even though the dust obscured the distance, it could not hide the gleam of the blood-red armor, as dazzling as snow!
"Hee-haw!!"
The warhorses whinnied, announcing the arrival of the blood-elemental Heavenly Dynasty army!
The five major powers under the Gate of Fortune in the Divine Territories were all present!
As the warhorses whinnied, the blood-like iron-clad army, upon approaching the sealed land of the Blood Sea Suspended Coffin, slowly reduced their speed. As if parading, they passed by the many onlookers and steadily advanced towards the front.
"Blood Yuan Heavenly Dynasty, Great General of the Guard, True God realm Wei Bo Ping!"
Seeing the "Guard!" banner, as if soaked in blood, many onlookers trembled, gasped, and held their breath.
