Chapter 486: Chapter 486: The Relationship Between the Sacred Flame and the Source of All Things

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

In the night sky above the East Sea, lightning flashed and thunder roared, with immense peals of thunder continuously exploding in the sky.

On the calm sea surface, sudden massive waves churned, and tsunamis raged incessantly. At this moment, even the merchant ship that had already far escaped the thick fog also suffered the assault of the huge waves, violently rocking without cease.

However, the turbulent waves in this area of the merchant ship paled in comparison to the violent billows far ahead in the distance.

The people on the merchant ship stood on the deck, swaying with the vessel’s rocking, but at this moment, each Martial Artist wore a face filled with horror and shock, staring ahead.

Where dense fog had just been, now a pitch-black and broken vessel was revealed, a ship twice the size of theirs.

At that moment, the sea around the black ship seemed as if it were boiling, churning violently as if the Sea God had been angered, with waves sweeping rapidly in all directions.

The people on the merchant ship saw that the black ship was the originating point of the waves and tsunamis—the waves on their part of the sea were rolling in from there.

On their side, the merchant ship was shaking violently in the sea; meanwhile, the old and battered Ghost Ship was shaking even more intensely. With the giant waves, it moved rapidly up, down, left, and right, resembling a mere leaf boat in a gale, seemingly on the verge of being flipped by the waves and submerged at any moment.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" As the night sky was continually punctuated by peals of thunder, thick purple lightning streaked, making the already severe weather out on the great sea look even more menacing.

The people in the merchant ship also noticed that the thunder and lightning seemed to be erupting above the Ghost Ship.

What had been a calm sea, the heavens and earth suddenly transformed drastically, and all the adverse conditions appeared to originate from this eerie Ghost Ship!

In the bottom hold of the Ghost Ship, the Source of All Things and the ghastly white coffin continued to collide, causing space to continuously tremble and ripple-like fluctuations to occur. Their collision produced thunderous booms, resonating with the thunder above the sea’s surface. Each collision, in addition to emitting an explosive sound on the Netherworld Ship, coincided with the claps of thunder.

It was as if the force of their collisions triggered the powers of heaven and earth, inciting the tumult of tsunamis and great waves.

The Ghost Ship, under the impact of their collision, "Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!" issued a series of cracking and bursting sounds. The ship was constantly being damaged, as if it could be destroyed at any moment.

Shi Feng and Shi Jinsuai, as the two Divine Grade Artifacts collided more and more fiercely, were forced by an invisible force to continuously retreat backward. With the violent shaking of the Ghost Ship, both their figures became extremely unsteady. With a "bang," Shi Jinsuai, having lost his balance, was viciously flung against the wall behind him.

"Argh!" Shi Jinsuai let out a painful groan.

Shi Feng, swaying unsteadily, retreated next to Shi Jinsuai. Looking at the two Artifacts clashing in front of them, he said, "We need to get out of here fast, or we might really be in danger!"

While Shi Feng spoke, he swung the Full Moon Scimitar in his hand, cutting a hole above them with a series of "crack" sounds. One after another, large holes appeared above their heads.

"Right! Let’s go!" Shi Jinsuai nodded after seeing Shi Feng blasting open an escape route, and immediately, along with Shi Feng, they both moved swiftly, shooting up through the holes in the roof, escaping from the Ghost Ship.

The sound of destruction continued relentlessly, "Crack crack crack crack crack!" The violently tumbling waves poured into the Ghost Ship like wild beasts from ancient times, charging down toward Shi Feng and Shi Jinsuai as they shot upward.

"Break!" Confronting the surging waves, Shi Feng shouted and punched upward, his fist’s force carving a path through the oncoming torrent. Then, he kept rising, and with a "snap," Shi Feng shot out of the tumultuous waves, emerging from the half-submerged, wrecked Ghost Ship and continued to ascend into the sky.

Shortly after Shi Feng flew out, with a "snap," Shi Jinsuai also burst forth from the Ghost Ship, swiftly reaching Shi Feng’s side. After a distance, their bodies then began to retreat in flight, putting distance between themselves and the chaotic area.

"The Young Master! It’s the Young Master and Brother Shi, they’re not dead, they’ve come out of the Ghost Ship alive!" someone on the merchant ship exclaimed upon seeing Shi Jinsuai and Shi Feng.

"The Young Master is the heir of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Building, a man of good luck protected by heaven. I knew he would be safe!"

Shi Feng and Shi Jinsuai flew back above the merchant ship, hovering in the Void, looking at the chaotic land they had just escaped from.

Then, Shi Jinsuai asked, "Brother Shi, what on earth is that golden sphere of yours? It possessed such immense power? And that coffin, these two strange treasures seem to have their own lives and even drew upon the power of heaven and earth, causing chaos in this sea area. Presumably, even the fabled Divine Artifacts are nothing more than this, right?"

"This is something I stumbled upon during one of my training experiences; I’m not exactly sure what it is," Shi Feng replied. Naturally, he wouldn’t tell Shi Jinsuai that this was the Source of All Things, which once caused a struggle among the powerful. Otherwise, if Shi Jinsuai were to leak this information, it would surely attract the world’s mighty to their doorstep.

"The Source of All Things! Boy, you actually possess such an evil thing, the Source of All Things!" At that moment, the Sacred Flame within Shi Feng spoke in shock.

Perhaps because of that coffin, the Source of All Things had appeared so directly and forcefully, breaking the Barrier and then attacking the coffin without imprisoning Shi Feng or causing the Sacred Flame to fall into slumber.

"I didn’t expect you to recognize the Source of All Things!" Shi Feng communicated with the Sacred Flame using his Soul Power.

"Hmph! Hmph! The Source of All Things! Even if it turned into ashes, I would not forget it! That beast back then wielded the Source of All Things to seal me within the Ice Ice Evil Punishment Heavenly Array! I suffered through the ages, tormented by the loss of freedom, the agony of solitude! Without that damned evil Source of All Things, the outcome of that great battle—who would win or lose, who would live or die—was uncertain! The Source of All Things! I swore back then that one day, I would personally destroy it!"

The Sacred Flame spoke of the past, of the Source of All Things, its voice filled with hatred.

"What! The one who sealed you back then? He wielded the Source of All Things?" Shi Feng, hearing the Sacred Flame’s words, was immediately startled!
