"Boom!"
With a thunderous crash, the pitch-black seawater stirred up sky-shaking waves. Long Chen stepped on lightning, soaring through the air. The ghostly path beings pursued relentlessly, crashing headfirst into the Ink Sea, which instantly boiled over.
Immediately, an aura that made Long Chen's scalp tingle surged. Sensing trouble, the thunder wings behind him suddenly trembled as he rapidly ascended.
"Boom!"
At that moment, a giant mouth emerged from the Ink Sea, devouring the ghostly beings. Immediately, the sea surface rose rapidly, and one sea monster after another burst out from the depths, frantically killing those ghostly beings.
In an instant, all the seawater boiled as the sea demons frantically killed and devoured those ghostly beings.
Meanwhile, the ghostly beings began to frantically attack the sea demons. In moments, the scene became chaotic, but most of them still stared at Long Chen.
With nowhere to escape, Long Chen had no choice but to risk his way into the Ink Sea, followed by a large group of ghostly beings rushing into the Ink Sea.
Beneath the Ink Sea was pitch black, with no light visible. Even a person's divine sense was suppressed to an extremely small range, making one feel as if entering an unknown world, instinctively filled with fear.
Entering the Ink Sea, Long Chen's speed was restricted, and those ghostly cultivators were even more restricted than he was.
The commotion here attracted countless sea monsters, some of whose pressure was even more terrifying than that of a Heaven-grade Underworld King.
However, these ghostly beings were also extremely formidable. They were either devoured or frantically ravaged the sea monsters. For a moment, massive sea monster corpses appeared on the Ink Sea.
After entering the sea, Long Chen clung directly to the head of a shark-like sea monster, no matter how much the sea monster swung it, he just wouldn't come down.
This was Long Chen's only chance to survive. Even if he died of exhaustion, he couldn't kill all these ghost cultivators. He could only borrow the power of the Ink Sea monster to drive the tiger down the wolf.
These ghostly beings seemed to lack intelligence, fighting only by instinct until they were completely destroyed.
There were too many Ghost Path beings, but fortunately, there were plenty of sea monsters here. The huge commotion attracted countless sea monsters, who were fiercely battling, and the numbers on both sides were rapidly decreasing.
Long Chen kept dodging attacks from sea demons and ghostly beings in the water. In the end, the sea monsters of the Ink Sea were strong enough, and the number of ghostly beings kept dwindling. However, the floating corpses above the Ink Sea had already covered millions of li, making it extremely brutal.
Seeing that there were few ghostly cultivators left, and with his current strength, he should be able to handle them, so Long Chen prepared to leave.
After all, sea monsters can't get on land, and even if they do, they can't run fast and can't threaten Long Chen.
But just as Long Chen was about to emerge from the water, he was stunned. It seemed there was a barrier on the water's surface, and after several attempts, he was bounced back.
"How could this be?"
Long Chen was startled; for the first time, he felt fear. If he couldn't break through, he might be forever sealed beneath this sea of ink.
Moreover, Long Chen also noticed that after the ghostly path beings entered the Ink Sea, they all sank, and the only ones left floating were the corpses of sea demons.
Long Chen tried to climb up along the sea demon's corpse, but found that as soon as he approached the water, the corpse would sink, preventing Long Chen from appearing on the surface.
Moreover, after soaking in the ink sea for a long time, Long Chen felt increasingly uncomfortable, as if someone was about to drown. His breathing became unsteady, and his chest tightness was severe.
"No way, there's something strange about this Mohai?" Long Chen seemed to finally understand why Leng Yueyan and Ming Cangyue, though considered deities, were so wary of Mohai.
What left Long Chen most helpless was that, seeing that all the ghostly beings were about to be slaughtered, these sea monsters began to set their sights on him. Clearly, to them, Long Chen was no different from these ghostly beings.
"Long Chen."
Just then, Long Chen heard an anxious call. Long Chen was overjoyed—it was Leng Yueyan's voice. At the critical moment, Leng Yueyan and the others arrived.
"I'm here!"
Long Chen shouted, but to his shock, he realized his cries had no sound at all—even he couldn't hear them.
"Long Chen, where are you?"
Ming Cangyue's voice was choked with tears. Clearly, she was completely at a loss, staring at the endless sea of corpses but unable to find Long Chen.
Long Chen took out the Nether God card, hoping it would make the two resonate, but when he took it out, he found its power was actually blocked.
Long Chen was both shocked and furious. He drew his long knife and slashed toward the water above. A blade shadow hit the water, leaving only a faint ripple. Surrounded by so many corpses, no one could detect it.
"Long Chen, Long Chen... Leng
Yueyan and Ming Cangyue shouted desperately, their voices shifting back and forth. Clearly, they were searching everywhere for Long Chen.
At this moment, Long Chen seemed to be trapped in a nightmare. The voices of Leng Yueyan and Ming Cangyue grew more distant. Only then did Long Chen realize he was already several hundred li above the water's surface, slowly sinking.
"Bastard, don't run down, charge up!" Long Chen was both furious and anxious, frantically shaking the giant shark's head, trying to command it to charge upward.
But Long Chen's soul power was almost useless in the Ink Sea, and he couldn't control the sea demon at all.
"What should we do? What should be done? "
Long Chen felt as if he was being swallowed by darkness. He was like a drowning man, trying to grasp at a lifeline. Long Chen had never felt so helpless as he was today. This Ink Sea was like a sea of curses, stripping him of all powers.
"There will definitely be a way. Calm down, calm down." Long Chen forced himself to calm down. At this moment, the voices of Leng Yueyan and Ming Cangyue were growing farther and farther away, almost inaudible.
"Divine Ring—Manifest!"
"Battle Body—Open!"
At this moment, Long Chen could no longer care about anything else. He could only unleash his full power. With a furious roar, his divine ring split open the seawater, six stars swirling, and divine power soared to the sky.
"Boom!" Long Chen's
entire body was covered in golden dragon scales. At the same time, a phantom appeared behind him—a long dragon tail.
"Buzz!"
With a flick of its tail, Long Chen shot toward the sea like a furious arrow released from a bow. With a thunderous crash, a massive wave tens of thousands of miles high was swept up across the sea.
Leng Yueyan and Ming Cangyue, who had been searching for Long Chen in all directions, suddenly saw a strange phenomenon and also saw Long Chen in the waves.
However, Long Chen charged with all his might, pushing the sea surface upward but failing to break free. The sea surface was like a soft barrier, unresponsive to force. After arching up, it quickly descended slowly.
"Long Chen, don't worry. This is the law of Mohai. Hold on for now, Yueyan and I will be able to save you soon."
Seeing that Long Chen couldn't break through the sea and was about to keep pushing forward, Ming Cangyue hurriedly stopped him, because she knew that once a living being was devoured by the Ink Sea, they would never escape—someone outside had to help him.
Ming Cangyue and Leng Yueyan raised their bone swords at the same timeforming a cross, and the Underworld God pattern on their foreheads instantly lit up, their divine light illuminating millions of miles of ink sea.
However, as soon as the Ink Sea was lit, Ming Cangyue and Leng Yueyan's expressions changed instantly. Seeing their expressions, Long Chen immediately sensed something was wrong and hurriedly looked down.
He saw countless lanterns reflecting light. When Long Chen looked closely, he was nearly scared out of his wits. The lanterns were pairs of demonic eyes, carrying an evil aura, slowly approaching Long Chen.
