Xie Lingfeng sighed incessantly.

Xu Yan had entered the Inner Domain from the Border Wilderness and quickly became famous throughout the Inner Domain, sweeping through it invincibly.

Upon entering the Spiritual Realm, he had a similar trajectory, rising through the ranks and sweeping through all opposition, his fame echoing throughout the Spiritual Realm, with no one to rival him!

Now, after only a few years in the Divine Realm, he had already spread his fearsome reputation, having slain the Immortal Heavenly Venerable with as much ease as swatting a grasshopper!

“I have a chance too!”

Xie Lingfeng’s fighting spirit surged.

As long as he broke through to the Void-breaking Realm, with the might of his Sword Dao, slaying an Immortal Heavenly Venerable wouldn’t be too difficult.

Indeed, it may not be as effortless as Xu Yan or Meng Chong, who slay Immortal Heavenly Venerables as if swatting grasshoppers, but killing an Immortal Heavenly Venerable wouldn’t be too hard.

As long as he broke through to the Void-breaking Realm, even if he encountered a top Immortal Heavenly Venerable, he could still emerge victorious.

The difficulty indeed increased a notch, but it was enough to fill him with pride.

If his strength were to advance to Minor Achievement or even Great Achievement within the Void-breaking Realm, slaying a top-tier Immortal Heavenly Venerable would become easy.

“Breaking through the Void is too hard.”

Xie Lingfeng sighed, realizing that advancing through the Physiognomy Realm in such a short amount of time was already quite an achievement.

It was impossible to break through to the Void-breaking Realm in a short time.

“Twenty or thirty years?”

At his level of strength, twenty or thirty years was considered short.

“I’ll find an opportunity to return to the Qinghua state and seek advice from Xu Yan, perhaps I can make an early breakthrough.”

Xie Lingfeng thought to himself.

He continued his arduous cultivation.

Arriving at the Azure Sea Sphere’s Yuntian Island, his talent was not lacking and his mastery of the Sword Dao was exceptional, naturally affording him some preferential treatment.

The Heavenly Grotto was relatively calm, without any major disturbances, and aside from the occasional venture into the Heavenly Grotto for training, he spent most of his time in seclusion and rigorous cultivation.

Xie Tianheng was also in seclusion and rigorous cultivation, his own son had surpassed him, and although he had anticipated it, when the day came so swiftly, the father’s heart was somewhat gloomy, only through arduous cultivation could he dissipate the gloominess in his heart.

In seclusion, the concept of time weakened, and one might not even realize how long had been spent in rigorous cultivation.

One day.

Boom!

A thunderous noise like roaring waves erupted, and Yuntian Island shuddered slightly, awaking all the Martial Artists who were in deep cultivation.

“Something big has happened!”

In that moment, all the cultivators hastily left their secluded spots.

Their first thought was that great chaos had broken out in the Heavenly Grotto!

Xie Lingfeng’s expression tightened as he emerged from his seclusion chamber.

“Dad, what’s happened?”

Xie Tianheng, with a grave expression, looked out into the distance without answering.

Xie Lingfeng followed his gaze and saw a streak of blood-red rising into the sky far away, resembling a massive funnel, like a bloody vortex.

Despite the vast distance, one could still feel that terrifying aura.

“What is that?”

Everyone was astonished.

Suddenly, underneath the blood-colored vortex, as if it was a giant maw, a huge blood-colored shadow could be seen looming in the waves, faint but discernible.

“Not good, that’s Xiaoheng Island!”

In a moment, a Martial Artist cried out in alarm.

Xiaoheng Island was one of the great islands in the Azure Sea Sphere, neighboring a Heavenly Grotto, with an Immortal Heavenly Venerable stationed on it.

The blood-colored vortex was directly above where Xiaoheng Island was located.

Boom!

A series of powerful auras emanated from the direction of Xiaoheng Island and chains forged from the Power of Domain Laws materialized in the sky soon after.

Then the voice of the Sea Spirit Tribe’s Great Elder rang out!

“All Martial Artists above the Truth Refinement Realm, seal off a hundred thousand li of the sea domain, and slay the Blood-colored Sea Beast!”

Following the voice of the Sea Spirit Tribe’s Great Elder, the figure of the Yuntian Island’s lord descended from the sky and entered the Elders’ Council on Yuntian Island.

Immediately, a radiant halo began to diffuse, spreading across the entire island.

Boom!

The Yuntian Island’s lord, utilizing the power of a Divine Artifact, gained control over this domain of Yuntian Island.

“All Martial Artists above the Truth Refinement Realm, head to Xiaoheng Island to assist in the suppression. There must be no mistakes!”

The solemn voice of Yuntian Island’s lord rang out.

In an instant, numerous Martial Artists soared toward Xiaoheng Island.

The Yuntian Island’s lord had returned to oversee Yuntian Island, to prevent any unforeseen incidents!

“Dad, let’s go!”

Xie Lingfeng spoke with an unparalleled solemnity,

“Azura Sea Sphere is facing a great crisis!”

“Now is the time to reveal my unparalleled Sword Dao!”

Xie Tianheng nodded and said.

“Be careful, don’t be careless!”

Fu Yun warned with a worried face.

“No big deal, I have the Elder’s Jade Talisman, I won’t die!”

Xie Tianheng patted his chest and said.

Xie Lingfeng stepped out and turned into a sword light, flying toward the direction of Yuntian Island.

Yuntian Island had vanished without trace, and all the creatures on it had perished.

The Heavenly Grotto seemed like a gaping maw, spewing forth rolling clouds of blood qi, turning this area of the sea into a veritable Blood Sea.

A blood-colored monster as huge as a crocodile opened its gaping maw, swallowing Yuntian Island whole, and within it, an Immortal Heavenly Venerable could be seen being devoured.

Boom!

“Netherworld Blood Crocodile!”

The Sea Spirit Tribe Great Elder’s expression became extremely grave.

At this moment, he realized that something was amiss.

This Heavenly Grotto was under control, and clearly, a being stronger than the Immortal Realm had acted, forcibly expanded the Heavenly Grotto, and allowed Netherworld Qi to seep in, wanting to turn this area of the sea into the Netherworld Blood Sea.

“How could a Netherworld Blood Crocodile lurk in the Azure Sea without us noticing, how was this possible?”

The Sea Spirit Tribe Great Elder and a group of powerful Sea Spirit Tribesmen wielded Divine Artifacts, marshalling the power of the Azure Sea, continuously suppressing it.

However, the Netherworld Blood Crocodile was difficult to kill, and it even pushed the Netherworld Qi toward the Firmament, shifting the Power of Domain Laws, causing turmoil within Heaven and Earth.

One after another, blood-colored figures surged out of the Heavenly Grotto that resembled a gaping mouth, forming a tide of beasts that started to spread in all directions.

The Blood Sea surged, polluting this part of the sea, and the Sea Spirits within this filthy water were greatly distressed.

It was as if a person with a compulsion for cleanliness had been thrown into a muddy pit, incredibly uncomfortable.

Swooosh!

A sword light cleaved through the air, instantly slaughtering a Netherworld monstrous beast.

“Not a single Blood Disciple or Xuezhi, only Netherworld beasts have entered, is this an attempt to invade the Azure Sea with Netherworld beasts?”

The Sea Spirit Tribe Great Elder’s expression turned dark.

Boom!

Another thunderous sound rang out, shaking the entire waters of the Azure Sea. The Sea Spirit Tribe Great Elder’s heart sank; another Heavenly Grotto was in turmoil.

“Without a sound, Yuntian Island has fallen, and this Heavenly Grotto has been occupied—but who orchestrated this in secret?”

At one point, the image of Xu Yan, who had entered the Azure Sea Sphere and then completely disappeared, came to the Great Elder’s mind.

He immediately shook his head, “It can’t be Xu Yan.”

The only solution now was to figure out how to suppress the Netherworld Blood Crocodile back into the Heavenly Grotto and eradicate all the Netherworld beasts invading the Azure Sea.

However, the Sea Spirit Tribe Great Elder failed to notice that as the Netherworld blood qi surged into the sky, at the very top of the Firmament, there was a faint light that seemed to be absorbing the Netherworld blood qi, or perhaps emitting some sort of signal.

Xie Lingfeng was in the midst of hunting down Netherworld monstrous beasts, using this as an opportunity to hone his Sword Dao.

At one moment, he looked up towards the Firmament, and his expression turned into one of utter shock.

At some point, at the end of the trail of blood, there seemed to be an eye appearing in the sky.

However, when he focused to look again, the eye seemed to have vanished, or perhaps, it appeared that the shape of the eye was merely formed by the dense blood-light.

Giant waves arose in the Azure Sea, shaking the whole ocean, sweeping across islands and destroying buildings in their path.

Many Martial Artists rose into the air, defending in all directions, with some attempting to hold back the giant waves from the islands.

Boom!

The Netherworld blood qi began to condense into a column of blood-light several feet in diameter, shooting straight into the Firmament, standing like a bloody pillar between Heaven and Earth.

Vaguely, the Heaven and Earth Laws were agitated.

Even the more profound and mysterious Domain Power was being stimulated.

Crack!

At one moment, the Sea Spirit Tribe Great Elder puzzledly looked up; it could have been an illusion, but he thought he heard a crackling sound from somewhere in the Firmament.

“The Firmament can’t possibly crack.”

The Sea Spirit Tribe Great Elder continued with a grave expression, leading a group of Immortal Heavenly Venerables, working together to suppress the blood-colored giant crocodile.

The Blood Crocodile looked up to the Firmament, its eyes seemingly seeing something.

“Almost there, this Blood Crocodile body is reaching its limit of endurance.”

Then it gazed towards a certain direction, where Yuntian Island lay.

“Using the last bit of my strength, annihilate that island. This will become the breach through which the Netherworld enters Taicang.”

More powerful blood-light surged from the giant crocodile, and a formidable aura was erupting within.
