Chapter 1070: Chapter 1053: Into the Sea of Suffering Again, Hard to Find the Other Shore!

The Ziyang God Marquis departed, and the Human Ancestral Court disappeared from everyone’s sight, leaving the Gu Yuan Tribe as the uncontested sovereign of the Border Wilderness Region.

After seeing off the Ziyang God Marquis and having arranged the affairs of the tribe and the entire Border Wilderness Region, Xiao Chen took out another day to spend with his two wives and children, for he did not know how long his meditative retreat would last.

As for the conquest of the Beast Underworld, it would not cease. Under the leadership of the strong ones from the Border Wilderness Region, the clans would take turns raiding the Beast Underworld. Moreover, as for the subsequent war masters’ conquest, he had left the imperial command with the Grand Elder.

"Qing Er, if there is a time of crisis, crush this jade talisman, and I will sense it and break my retreat!" Xiao Chen softly said as he handed a green-colored jade pendant to Mu Qing.

"As for the matters of the tribe, you can leave them to the clan elders, you and Nianhua just need to focus on nurturing your pregnancies," he said.

Unconsciously, Xiao Chen felt himself becoming increasingly anxious and hung up. Holding the jade hands of Mu Qing and Nianhua, he softly said.

"We sisters have long since stopped dealing with clan matters," Mu Qing chuckled, placing her jade hand together with Xiao Chen’s.

"Now that our tribe abounds with strong ones and all aspects of development have also stepped onto the right track, Qing Er and I have long become idlers," Nianhua said, giving Xiao Chen a glance.

With Chunmu Old Ancestor sitting firmly in the Border Wilderness Region, there was naturally a guarantee of safety, and Xiao Chen planned to let Lord Qingjiao enter the Beast Underworld.

The Mountain and River Seal could not move by itself; it needed something to attach to. Originally, this was his task, but now that he was going into retreat, Lord Qingjiao was more than suitable.

As his original body was that of the Jiao Long exotic beast and the Beast Underworld also had evil beasts, by using this identity, he could take the Mountain and River Seal all around the Beast Underworld so the war masters from the Border Wilderness Region could ambush and attack the tribes of the Royal Beast Race unexpectedly.

...

After settling everything, Xiao Chen did not choose the Mountain and River Herb Garden for his retreat, but instead disappeared into the depths of the Mountain and River Seal World’s chaos.

This chaos refers to the hazy spatial form, from which small worlds and space are created.

In this place, Xiao Chen had no sense of direction, as though enveloped in an egg.

He was like a formidable being born from the chaos, each breath he took swirling endless blood energy, which he consumed.

The refined blood energy, despite its purity, still expelled a large amount of impurities from Xiao Chen’s body after he ingested it.

His body was now extremely dominant; even tens of thousands of blood energies, once absorbed by his body, would only truly assimilate one percent of it, as what he required was the purest force.

Hu!

A moment later, Xiao Chen awakened with a wry smile in his eyes, and in the next instant, a large number of low-grade spirit crystals appeared before him, immediately enveloping his body in rich spiritual energy.

Boom!

Inside him, there was a surging storm, as though the parched earth suddenly received sweet rain. Only when these spirit crystals were fully absorbed did Xiao Chen feel that the drain on his body from past battles was barely replenished.

Gradually, the divine brilliance that boiled over his body began to dim, and Xiao Chen held his breath and concentrated, beginning to sort out what he had learned. The division of power for peak monarchs as discussed by the Mountain Ghost and the Ziyang God Marquis gave him significant insights. Now, relying on his current realm, his power could no longer advance, and he also realized that his clan was somewhat too immersed in the power of the Mountain and River Seal.

It seemed that if any strong one couldn’t be defeated, once the Mountain and River Seal was summoned, that strong one would perish. After a few lucky encounters, he unconsciously took it for granted and became too dependent on the Mountain and River Seal.

The path of the monarch is reflected in the realm. Once a warrior is listed as a Half-King Peak Realm, if they see no hope in breaking through to monarch, then there is no further progress to be made. If the realm cannot be advanced, then the only option is to increase one’s power, which is why there is a division of power among the four levels of the Half-King Peak Realm.

This is to differentiate the strength among those in the Half-King Peak Realm.

Actually, in these recent days, with the use of divine power, he perceived that the cultivation of divine power and the current mainstream cultivation of the Desolate Wilds were not contradicting each other; they were in fact complementary.

At least at his current realm, he could transform all his cultivated forces into vast divine power.

Even the laws he had not completely understood could be considered nourishment for advancing divine power. Now that he had stepped onto the path of Cultivating Divinity, the various methods he had learned before no longer mattered.

Now, his cultivation could simply be summarized as, divine power, divine body, and spirit.

Although the realms he cultivated still followed the division of the current Desolate Martial Realm, there was a fundamental difference.

Divine power was based on the combat Qi, blood Qi, soul power, and various mysteries cultivated during his martial arts practice. With each force merged into it, the grade of divine power would rise, rivaling the force of monarchs.

The divine body still followed the method of the Ancient road of flesh.

As for the spirit, it refers to the immortal soul of spiritual beings, a state not even the former Desolate Gods had fully transformed their own into true spiritual soul force.

Moreover, now, he did not need to change his previous cultivation; he just needed to imprint all his previous learnings with divine power.

Soon, Xiao Chen awakened again and suppressed various thoughts, exploring the path of martial arts, which naturally made his cultivation much more efficient.

In this moment, waves of soul power radiated from Xiao Chen, and suddenly, in his Soul Sea, a mottled Bronze Ancient Gate appeared, representing the Gate of Reincarnation.

Last time, due to the impending battle, he did not experience a transformation of soul power when he entered the gate and reached the other side of the Sea of Suffering World.

Humm!

A vague figure materialized from the Soul Sea, took a step, and crashed into the Bronze Ancient Gate.

It is said that the Boundless Sea of Suffering exists in a phantom dimension, away from the main world, and some things from the main world cannot manifest in the Sea of Suffering.

Hum!

In a daze, Xiao Chen found himself in a dim space-time, with the sky vault a grey color, seemingly pressing down low, making it difficult for him to breathe, carrying a sense of decay.

Below was a boundless ocean, the water also grey, the entire world a monotone of grey.

Under his feet was a bamboo leaf-shaped small boat, and as for size, it barely allowed his two feet to stand firm.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Everything here felt very real, Xiao Chen saw illusion upon illusion around him, all the other people’s phantoms were just like him, with a bamboo leaf boat beneath their feet.

"Hundred Clans."

As thoughts flowed, Xiao Chen was shocked by the spiritual fluctuations he felt. He saw around him phantoms of various shapes and colors; some had double horns, with a human body and a bull head, those were the Double-Horned Iron Horn Bulls that had entered the Demon Realm long ago and became part of the Demon Race.

Some had bat wings on their backs, handsome in appearance, yet possessed tusks, the Blood Clan; some figures flickered, the Shadow Clan; and some were completely golden, as if even in a spirit state they were still made of gold, the Saint Clan.

Of every hue and shape, these encompassed all the clans within the Hundred Clans of Heaven, and even Xiao Chen found the soul powers of some races that had already perished.

Suddenly, Xiao Chen came to a realization. Around him, those soul bodies, like him, still possessed agility and were the people undergoing tribulation. Whereas those with dim soul power, floating above the Sea of Suffering, continuously struck by the seawater, were the warriors whose Divine Soul Tribulation had failed and who were trapped in the Sea of Suffering.

The Boundless Sea of Suffering, Xiao Chen had no idea how vast it was, but within the range of his perception, the soul bodies of the Hundred Clans added together were numerous and layered, some even emitting a scent of decay.

Even the souls had decayed, which indicated how long they had existed!

What surprised Xiao Chen was that although he could sense other warriors around him and they could sense him, there was no way to communicate with each other!

This was probably the most harmonious space-time between the Hundred Clans and the Human Race!

Whoosh.

The sea surged, a soul body devoid of spirituality was swept into the midst of the sea. In the next moment, the entire soul body melted and became a part of the Sea of Suffering.

Suddenly, Xiao Chen was horrified, feeling the relentless waves lapping beneath him, he made a terrifying guess—the boundless waters of the Sea of Suffering were composed of countless souls.

A true Sea of Soul Power!

Trapped in the Sea of Suffering, with no shore in sight, Xiao Chen didn’t notice, nor did he know how to find the so-called Soul Beyond.

With a single thought, the bamboo leaf boat beneath his feet cut through the Soul Sea, rippling out waves.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Occasionally, waves from the Sea of Suffering would crash down, and Xiao Chen struggled to maintain his balance to avoid falling into the Sea of Suffering, which would truly make his annihilation inevitable.

Hum, hum, hum!

Desperately controlling the bamboo leaf boat beneath his feet, Xiao Chen didn’t change direction. Since he could not discern where the shore was, he could only continue moving forward, all the while carefully observing his surroundings.

In the Sea of Suffering, dangers not only came from the waves. Through ancient and modern times, countless warriors were buried in this Sea of Suffering.

In this Sea of Suffering, his perception could only detect a distance of a hundred zhang; if there were an attack, a hundred zhang would not be sufficient to react.

Whoosh!

Beneath the raging waves, a ripple rushed rapidly towards him, and by the time he noticed it, it had already reached his feet.

Hu!

Grey waves surged, and a phantom soul shadow emerged.

Soul Nightmare!

Xiao Chen was startled, hurriedly shifting direction beneath his feet, but as the creature leapt out of the Soul Sea, its claws shimmering with black light, it lashed towards his legs!

"Evil being!"

Xiao Chen roared, suddenly lifting his legs up in a downward chop, pressing down the black cold light.

Sea of Suffering Wraiths form barriers of evil, timeless in their attempt for rebirth!

It was these ghostly creatures that were being referred to, remnants of the warriors who had failed the Divine Soul Tribulation, whose consciousness had slowly converged into a host of soul bodies.

They were filled with the desire for life!

Roaming the Sea of Suffering, their purpose was to devour the soul body of a person who had come to undergo tribulation, to obtain their soul imprint, in an attempt to return to the real world!

There were precedents, indeed, a long time ago such a monster had appeared, the only time when the Hundred Clans of Heaven and the Human Race issued a joint Kill Order.

The Soul Nightmares floating in the Sea of Suffering, absorbing countless remnants of living souls, came from the Human Race and the Hundred Clans. They returned to the real world where their sense and reason had long transformed into a Demon.
