Chapter 456 - The Four Great Factions (1/2)
...In the lower district, somewhere in the north pole...
An ocean could be found here, filled with pitch-black water, causing one to feel suffocated. The ocean was incredibly deep and boundless, as if it were able to suck one’s soul into it. Looking from afar, the ocean seemed to be connected with the sky, with no visible end to it.
This ocean was ranked first among the top ten forbidden areas in the lower district—the Ocean of Death.
There were many rumors regarding the Ocean of Death, but the most convincing one was that a few thousand years ago, someone with the name ‘Death Emperor’ was being hunted by his enemies and ended up falling here, whose figure turned into the ocean.
BANG!
A shocking explosion took place on the calm surface of the ocean all of a sudden.
An ancient door with a length of over three hundred zhang emerged from the ocean, emitting a mysterious aura.
Following this, it was as if the door was being pulled by some sort of mysterious force, causing it to slowly open while emitting a squeaking noise.
The sight immediately captured the attention of the cultivators who had long awaited this day in a nearby small town.
“Look, the Door of Death has appeared!”
“In an hour’s time, the door will be fully opened, and we will then be able to enter!”
“Tsk tsk, I’m not looking forward to finding anything valuable in the Ocean of Death. I just want to see when Feiyang Sacred Area and Qinglong Sacred Area will arrive here.”
“……”
The Ocean of Death was ranked first among the top ten forbidden areas, indicating that there existed countless secrets and fortunate encounters within it. Any cultivator would have the chance of becoming an expert by acquiring them. Despite that, many cultivators had no desire to try their luck, as the place was extremely dangerous. Among ten cultivators who entered the place, at least eight of them would never return.
Most of them were here to witness the duel between Qin Nan and Xiao Zhonghuang!
Buzz!
At that instant, the sky above slightly vibrated as countless rays of light intertwined with one another rapidly in mid-air, forming an over fifty-zhang long formation. Figures continuously appeared from the center of the formation, and in the blink of an eye, over ten thousand figures had appeared from it.
These figures were none other than the disciples, the Peak Leaders, and Sacred Leader Feiyang of the Feiyang Sacred Area.
BANG!
The center of the formation suddenly shattered, and among the scattered pieces, a throne emitting a golden-purple glow flew upward and floated in mid-air. Countless rays of light were shone at the surroundings from the throne, resulting in an imperious aura.
The one sitting on the throne was none other than Progenitor Wen Dao!
However, there stood two figures beside Progenitor Wen Dao. One of them was the currently crippled Jiang Bilan who was wearing a pale face, while the other was Xiao Zhonghuang who had spent half a year cultivating in seclusion.
In the last six months, Xiao Zhonghuang was fully supported by the Feiyang Sacred Area, allowing his cultivation to improve rapidly reaching the seventh-layer Martial Dominator Realm. The aura emanating from his body felt like a black hole.
He hugged Jiang Bilan with his left hand while glancing downward at the crowd of cultivators with a prideful look, as if they were ants to him.
“Look! It’s Xiao Zhonghuang!”
“What a terrifying suppression, does that mean his cultivation has reached the Martial Highness Realm?”
“That’s impossible. They would not let him rank up to the Martial Highness Realm now!”
“The one sitting on the purple gold throne, is he Progenitor Wen Dao from the Eastern Continent?”
“It must be him. Didn’t you realize that Sacred Leader Feiyang was only standing below him!?”
“……”
The cultivators were astonished by the sight before them.
It was the first time for many of them to meet Progenitor Wen Dao and Xiao Zhonghuang, and they were left in complete awe by their auras.
“Set up the place!”
