The myriad blood springs surged ceaselessly, resembling a rectangular prism, yet not a perfectly regular one, more like a coffin!
"What in the world is this?"
Stepping into the blood that was a foot thick, Shang Shitu's face turned pale. The events they had encountered thus far far exceeded their expectations.
What was this notion that beings above Void God could not enter? The ancient forest's mysterious blood-red net alone was enough to slay True God level beings!
The two stood frozen in place, not daring to move an inch. The terrifying scene before them, coupled with the utter unknown, made them even more hesitant.
"What aura is this?"
"It's the aura of death!"
"This is the aura of death!!"
Hu Yan Zan's gaze trembled as he watched the wisps of aura rising from the blood. They permeated the surroundings, making the land appear like an ancient battlefield.
"Indeed!"
"It's the aura of death!"
"Very ancient!"
Shang Shitu extended his palm, touching the formless aura. The moment it made contact with the death aura, his primordial spirit, despite its robust and blood-filled skin, rapidly oxidized, revealing patches of corpse spots.
"It's poisonous!"
Shang Shitu brought his palm down, directly severing that patch of primordial spirit skin. The dissipating fragments of primordial spirit skin vanished completely under the erosion of the death aura.
"Such terrifying death aura!"
"Guard yourselves!"
The two donned their armor, the auras of the White Tiger and Taotie divine beasts resisting wave after wave of death aura erosion.
After dozens of breaths, the violent blood sea before them gradually stabilized. As far as the eye could see, there were dense blood springs. The viscous blood water obscured their view, preventing them from seeing the true scene beneath.
Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle~~
That eerie sound from the ancient forest again. The two quickly turned their heads, only to see dense blood-red nets crisscrossing the forest behind them. They dared not step into the area covered by the blood sea.
"What are they afraid of?"
Hu Yan Zan looked at the blood nets stopped at the edge of the ancient forest and said with a solemn expression. These terrifying blood nets were capable of sealing True Gods. Such fearsome killing power, yet they dared not tread half an inch into this blood sea.
"Did we take a wrong turn?"
Shang Shitu looked at the blood-red nets, then turned back to gaze deeply at the dense blood springs, their shapes eerily like coffins.
"This is a straight path. We haven't deviated from our course, so it shouldn't be wrong. Perhaps the Blood Sea Suspended Coffins are no longer what they used to be!"
Just as Hu Yan Zan's voice fell, hundreds of figures, blood-stained and disheveled, rushed out from the ancient forest. Each of them fell into the blood water. Seeing the blood-red nets behind them cease to advance even a millimeter, all the surviving beings let out a sigh of relief.
Terrifying!
Too terrifying!
Tens of thousands of beings entered, and ninety-nine percent of them died in the ancient forest.
"Look!"
Hu Yan Zan pointed at the disciples of the Gate of Fortune and whispered, "Even they are so battered. This shows that the current Blood Sea Suspended Coffins are incomparable to what they were before!"
"They are the sect with the most comprehensive information on the Blood Sea Suspended Coffins. Now they are almost wiped out. We must be extremely cautious!"
"Hahaha!!"
"Hahaha!!"
A Void God being, lying in the blood water, laughed wildly, looking at the motionless blood-red nets. They seemed to have been driven mad by the stimulation, rejoicing in their survival.
"Gurgle, gurgle!!"
Shang Shitu and Hu Yan Zan heard the sound and immediately turned their heads. They saw the myriad blood springs making a series of noises.
Streams of blood water began to recede, revealing their true forms beneath the blood water!
"Coffins!!"
"Those are coffins!!"
Dense, countless coffins, numbering tens of thousands, lay before them, all of them blood-red!
Shang Shitu and Hu Yan Zan's pupils dilated. Staring at the myriad blood-red coffins, both felt their hearts tremble.
Hundreds of surviving beings hastily stood up from the blood water, instinctively huddling together.
Each coffin exuded scarlet blood aura!
"Blood Sea Suspended Coffins!"
Hu Yan Zan uttered the name again, heavily!
The scene before them absolutely matched this land abandoned by the Great Dao. Even though it was just a tip of the iceberg of this world, the scene itself sent chills down the spines of even Hu Yan Zan and Shang Shitu!
Why?
Because the scarlet blood aura bursting forth from each coffin was on the True God level!
Myriad in number!
Who could resist?
Who would not fear?
Crack~~
After a light sound, there was a series of dense coffin grinding noises. The coffins began to stir!
"Be careful!"
Shang Shitu and Hu Yan Zan immediately retreated a step, preparing their defenses.
Hum~~~
Streams of scarlet light shot out from the coffins, like myriad blood-red divine lights illuminating the four directions!
Crack, crack~~
Hum~~~
Boom!!!
The lids of the coffins exploded upwards, and in an instant, all the coffins opened, revealing streams of black gas.
The black gas dispersed, revealing the true appearance of the coffins' interiors!
Corpses lay peacefully within. Although the corpses were completely dead, they still burned with twelve divine fires!
Within the countless coffins were the corpses of beings who had broken through the extreme of the Divine Fire realm and opened the "One into Two Mansions"!
Myriad Dao, such a grand undertaking! Who was responsible for sealing here all beings who had opened "One into Two Mansions" and achieved True God status?
Judging by the ancient aura, it must be tens of millions of years, or even older, possibly beings from the previous epoch!
Hum~~~
The moment all the corpses were exposed, the eyes of the myriad corpses opened simultaneously, black gas filling the air and death aura shrouding the sky!
Hum~~~
At the end of the endless blood sea, behind the myriad coffins, hundreds more blood-red coffins emerged.
This time, however, these hundreds of coffins contained no corpses. But the moment these hundreds of coffins appeared, all the beings, including Shang Shitu and Hu Yan Zan, felt their hearts tremble.
The newly appeared coffins perfectly matched the number of beings who had rushed out of the ancient secret realm and now stood alive in this blood water!
Was this a coincidence?
"What is that?"
Shang Shitu grabbed Hu Yan Zan's arm, seeing that hundreds of figures were condensing within the new coffins, each bearing a striking resemblance to the beings present.
"How can this be?"
Shang Shitu looked in horror at a corpse identical to himself lying peacefully in a coffin.
Creak~~
In the depths of the endless blood sea, two black vortices gradually formed. Two scarlet red lights swept out, directly enveloping Shang Shitu, Hu Yan Zan, and the hundreds of beings present!
At this moment, a pair of blood-red giant eyes opened, their divine light scanning downwards. All the beings lost their consciousness, their gazes vacant, frozen in place, only their chests still rising and falling.
