Having stepped onto the path of cultivation for a long million years, or at the shortest a few hundred thousand years, excluding those nurtured in the sea of blood, the vast majority were like flowers in a greenhouse, their hands not even stained with much fresh blood, unaware of the deceit and treachery of the mortal world.
The scene before them was a tremendous shock. This was precisely why the masters of the Gate of Creation chose this place as a training ground. The high-ranking sects, ruling over a state, their positions already secure, had no need for slaughter and conquest. Their disciples, apart from a few chosen for special training, mostly lacked fighting spirit.
A tour through this blood sea and suspended coffins would bring about significant changes in both strength and mindset, another form of growth, and a mandatory lesson on the path of cultivation.
"Roar!!"
A thunderous roar, like a dragon's cry or a tiger's howl, so distant that the friction of space distorted it beyond recognition. Following this roar, the entire blood sea and suspended coffins transformed as if awakening from a long slumber.
The dim heavens of the blood sea began to gradually brighten, the crimson hue, like the fresh blood of living beings, spreading across the sky.
"That must be Netherfire!"
A Void God being from the Gate of Creation gazed at the faint green divine light flickering within the ancient forest in the distance. Sudan Novel Network.
Reminded by his words, many beings immersed in fear began to calm down, scanning their surroundings for the flickering faint green divine light.
"Indeed, that is Netherfire. I saw it in Blood Sea City, it's this color!"
Countless beings became frenzied. The allure of Netherfire's power completely overwhelmed their inner fears, even driving them to lose their reason.
That was Netherfire, possessing immense energy, a unique boon of the Blood Sea Suspended Coffins. So many densely packed Netherfires, how terrifying it must be.
At this moment, following the first wave of beings to arrive at the Blood Sea Suspended Coffins, more and more creatures appeared on the blood-red land as if by teleportation.
The scene was now entirely different from that of the earliest arrivals. The latecomers had no buffer time at all; the moment they opened their eyes, they were met with a crimson void, the faint green divine light dancing like a swarm of demons before them, accompanied by terrifying roars.
"Is this the Blood Sea Suspended Coffins?"
Appearing in this blood-red world, even Shang Shitu and Hu Yan Zan, who had charged through hordes of enemies, were slightly taken aback. It truly lived up to its name. Apart from the absence of coffins, Hu Yan Zan commented lightly, looking at the realm.
"Blood Sea Suspended Coffins!"
Shang Shitu gravely observed the dense faint green divine light before him. Those were all ownerless Nascent Souls at the Void God realm!
Though they appeared as divine lights, they harbored hidden killing intent. The beings who stepped into this realm craved the energy of Netherfire, while these ownerless Nascent Souls equally craved the vital energy of living beings.
Here, it was unlike the outside world. This realm was abandoned by the Great Dao and sealed by supreme beings. A place abandoned by the Great Dao naturally did not align with the cultivation paths of the Dao Provinces, and thus, there was no spiritual energy to speak of!
Without spiritual energy, the ownerless Nascent Souls existing in this realm could only survive by relying on the unique power of the Blood Sea Suspended Coffins. For these ownerless Nascent Souls, the spiritual energy contained within the Nascent Souls of beings from the outside world was no less than an ancient precious medicine.
"Do not move rashly. Though the flickering divine lights are Netherfire, they are not for beings to pluck at will. They are contained within the ownerless Nascent Souls of this realm. To collect Netherfire, one must first kill the ownerless Nascent Souls."
An elder Void God roared, his voice echoing. For powers like the Gate of Creation and the Ancient Lion Kingdom, they naturally knew Netherfire was not easily obtained. However, for most beings from lower-tier sects, they had no access to this level, some not even knowing what Netherfire looked like.
Netherfire! A unique boon of the Blood Sea Suspended Coffins. Within the countless secret treasures and forbidden zones of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces in this high-level dimension, Netherfire, though not ranked at the very top, was still relatively high.
Prompted by the elder Void God, countless beings suddenly jolted, their faces turning pale. Yes! Although the Blood Sea Suspended Coffins contained the most Netherfire, its acquisition was not that simple, especially for those beings from the outside who willingly abandoned their physical bodies and hid within this realm.
Their Nascent Souls possessed sentience. Among these densely packed flickering Netherfires, there were surely some cunning old foxes, fishing with bait, waiting for beings to arrive.
Most of these sentient Nascent Souls were from beings who had entered the Blood Sea Suspended Coffins in the previous era. Relying on the mysterious power of the Blood Sea Suspended Coffins, they had lived for a full five million years at the Void God realm. Who knew how far their cultivation had reached? Although suppressed by the Blood Sea Suspended Coffins, preventing them from reaching the True God realm, they had likely reached the peak of the Void God realm.
Peak Void God. Among the many divinities present, who could extract that mysterious Netherfire from the hands of a peak Void God?
Of course, apart from Hu Yan Zan and Shang Shitu, the Gate of Creation had also sent many peak Void Gods into the Blood Sea Suspended Coffins this time.
For these powerful factions, the Netherfire contained within the peak Void Gods was their primary target for this expedition. As for the cultivation methods of the supreme True Gods, that would depend on luck.
After all, tens of millions of years had passed, and the cultivation methods of the supreme True Gods remained a mystery to this day!
However, the vast majority of beings present were of low cultivation. Apart from the five major powers of the Ancient Lion Kingdom who possessed lower planes, the Void Gods present had all entered the Void God realm through ordinary Divine Fire extreme realms.
For them, and even for beings in the Divine Fire realm, the cultivation methods of the supreme True Gods were their primary objective. As for Netherfire, if they encountered ownerless Nascent Souls, they might have a chance. But if they encountered those cunning old foxes, they would undoubtedly die.
Countless beings looked around, dazed and without direction. However, it seemed there was no other path to choose but to advance into the ancient forest ahead.
As for flying, no being dared to attempt it yet. No one had stepped forward to test it, and the danger remained unknown. Consequently, all beings stood frozen in place.
"General Hu, let's go!"
At this moment, Shang Shitu scanned his divine sense in all directions. His divine sense could only penetrate five miles into the ancient forest, beyond which it could go no further. The situation inside was unknown, so they could only enter personally to find out.
"Alright!"
Hu Yan Zan looked at the ancient forest in the distance. Peak Void Gods? True Gods would die before them. This ancient forest was like level ground before them.
"Cannot fly?"
