Black Wind Island
The howling sea breeze brushed past his face and blew up Zhuo Wen's dense black short hair. Zhuo Wen stood silently on the deck and looked down at the deep and pitch black surface of the Sea of Misery, and his gaze flickered endlessly. The monstrous and enormous black waves that casually gushed out from the surface of the sea were like a shapeless hand in the darkness that grabbed the hearts of everyone.
However, when these huge black waves crashed onto the surface of the Sun Shuttle, the surface of the Sun Shuttle would emit a blazing light. If one were to take a closer look, one would be able to see that there were complicated runes within the light. This was the Defensive Yuan Array that Grandmaster Mu Feng had drawn. He must have spent a lot of precious materials to create such a powerful defense.
After all, the towering black waves couldn't shake the Sun Shuttle at all. Even Zhuowen, who was on the deck, didn't feel the Sun Shuttle shaking. It was extremely stable.
The five geniuses of the inner courtyard standing on the other side of the deck looked at Zhuowen with unfriendly gazes, especially Lan Jue. He didn't even bother to hide the murderous glint in his eyes. When Zhuowen had defeated him, he had lost all his face. The other four geniuses were Lan Jue's senior and junior brothers. Naturally, they didn't like Zhuowen.
With Zhuowen's perception, he naturally felt the unfriendly gazes of the five geniuses. However, he didn't care too much. The strongest among the five geniuses should be the white-clothed man called Bai Yu. His cultivation was around the fourth level of the Emperor Realm. Lan Jue was the weakest among the five, only at the first level of the Emperor Realm.
Although Bai Yu didn't like Zhuowen, he didn't show it. Or rather, he didn't care too much about Zhuowen. After all, Zhuowen was only a peak Heavenly Venerate. Even if he had the strength to defeat Lan Jue, Bai Yu wouldn't pay too much attention to him. After all, he was a genius of Sky Capital Peak and a mid-level Emperor Realm expert. His horizons were much higher than Lan Jue's.
After Zhuowen boarded the Sun Shuttle, he used a communication jade talisman to contact Lü Hantian, the Grand Demon Lord, and the other four who were still in the main city. They were to head to the shore of Jianshen Island to buy tickets and meet up on the island near the tomb.
At this moment, Zhuowen suddenly walked over to Elder Huaxie and asked in a low voice, "Elder Huaxie, can you tell me the method to enter the inner court?
After all, I'm already an in-name disciple of the inner court. "
Elder Huaxie glanced at Zhuowen indifferently and waved his sleeve, "Although the inner courtyard is extremely mysterious to outsiders, it's not that mysterious to us. This is a map of the Divine Specter Realm. The method to enter the inner courtyard is marked on it."
Zhuowen did not expect Elder Huaxie to agree so readily. He kept the map, cupped his hands, and walked to the side of the deck.
The Emperor's Tomb could be said to be the center of the entire Sea of Bitterness. In the region of the Emperor's Tomb, the sea water was exceptionally black, like ink. It was impossible to see what was in the water.
A giant black storm swept through the entire Emperor's Tomb sea region. It was about ten miles wide. Above the black storm, there were countless black clouds. Within the black clouds, there was a mix of purple and blue lightning.
Rumble!
A purplish-blue thunderbolt streaked across the void from the dark clouds in the sky, illuminating the black storm and making it look particularly conspicuous and ferocious. It was like an ancient giant beast that was about to devour everything in the world.
"That's the most famous black storm in the Emperor's Tomb. The black storm has the power to devour everything. If a warrior's strength is not enough to enter, he will be devoured by the black storm. Not even his bones will be left."
Moyan Wushang slowly came to Zhuowen's side. His beautiful eyes stared at the giant black storm in the distance. His eyes were filled with fear. The black storm should be extremely terrifying. Not only did he see fear in Moyan Wushang's eyes, even the dean and Elder Huaxie's faces changed slightly.
"The black storm can only be said to be the first obstacle in the Emperor's Tomb. What's more terrifying is the Nine Heavens Purple Profound Lightning that is mixed in the black storm. The Nine Heavens Purple Profound Lightning is an extremely terrifying lightning energy that is born from the black storm. It is said that if it hits a mid-level Emperor directly, even a high-level Emperor will be severely injured." Moyan Wushang continued to speak slowly.
"What?
It's that terrifying? "
Hearing this, Zhuowen's heart trembled. The black storm was already terrifying enough, but the Nine Heavens Purple Profound Lightning that was mixed in the black storm was even more terrifying. A mid-level Emperor would be blasted to pieces, and even a high-level Emperor would be severely injured by the Nine Heavens Purple Profound Lightning. If he was unlucky enough to be struck by the Nine Heavens Purple Profound Lightning, there would be nothing left of him.
"Hehe!
Zhuowen, you don't have to be so surprised. The Nine Heavens Purple Profound Lightning has a difference in strength. Wushang is just bluffing.
If the Nine Heavens Purple Profound Lightning is completely purple, a mid-level Emperor might not be able to withstand it. However, if it is a blue Nine Heavens Purple Profound Lightning, its power is much weaker. Ordinary low-level Emperors can withstand it. The Purple Profound Lightning that is in between the two should be able to threaten low-level Emperors, but not mid-level Emperors. "
The dean came to Zhuowen's side unknowingly and explained with a smile. However, his face soon became serious and he said in a deep voice, "However, for you guys, even the weakest Nine Heavens Purple Profound Lightning might not be able to withstand it. Therefore, when you enter the black storm, try to be as careful as possible."
Zhuowen and Moyan Wushang nodded their heads when they heard the dean's serious advice.
The dean chatted with Zhuowen and Moyan Wushang for a while before he left. Zhuowen came to Jia Nan and Mo Lingtian's side and said in a serious tone, "This trip to the Emperor's Tomb is extremely dangerous. The four of you have to be careful. When the time comes, follow me closely."
The strength of Jia Nan and the other three had increased quite quickly. Among them, Jia Nan had reached the peak of the Golden Venerate level, while Mo Lingtian had reached the Heavenly Venerate level. What surprised Zhuowen the most was that Gatha had also reached the Heavenly Venerate level. Her cultivation speed was so fast that it exceeded Zhuowen's expectations.
"The Heaven's Wrath Armoured Soul is indeed powerful. It can actually help Gatha cultivate so quickly. I wonder how much power Gatha can use from the Heaven's Wrath Armoured Soul."
Zhuowen took a deep look at Gatha and muttered in his heart. Xiao Hei had praised Gatha's Heaven's Wrath Armoured Soul very much. It was said that if this Armoured Soul could be completely controlled, Gatha would definitely become an expert in the future.
As for Jia Nan, because he had the Undying Armoured Soul, his skin was rough and his flesh was thick. Although his cultivation was at the peak of the Golden Venerate level, an ordinary Heavenly Venerate level warrior would find it difficult to deal with him.
On the other hand, Xuan Xing's talent was much worse than Jia Nan and the other two. She was still only at the Sovereign level. Entering the Emperor's Tomb with such a cultivation was actually an act of seeking death.
Perhaps because she felt Zhuowen's surprised gaze, Xuan Xing's beautiful eyes flashed and she forced a smile, "This time, I'm only here to take a look at the Emperor's Tomb. If it's really too dangerous, I'll just take a look from the periphery. I don't plan to enter the Emperor's Tomb."
Hearing Xuan Xing's words, Zhuowen nodded and said, "The Emperor's Tomb is indeed too dangerous for you. Ordinary Heavenly Venerates have a high chance of dying in the Emperor's Tomb, let alone you."
Zhuowen's words were not polite. He knew that if he didn't point out the main point, it would be very difficult to dispel Xuan Xing's impulsive thoughts. Sure enough, after Zhuowen's words fell, Xuan Xing lowered her head and nodded, not saying a word.
Mo Lingtian chuckled and said, "Xuan Xing!
Zhuowen, he's doing this for your own good. Your cultivation is indeed a little weak. It's not very suitable for you to enter the Emperor's Tomb. "
"I know." Xuan Xing suddenly smiled and said.
Seeing that Xuan Xing had thought it through, Mo Lingtian and Zhuowen also relaxed. Next, they just had to wait for the Sun Shuttle to land.
There was a rather large island in the periphery of the black storm. This island was called Ravengale Island because it was located near the black storm.
Because the Emperor's Tomb was about to open, the Ravengale Island, which was usually cold and cheerless, was now extremely lively. There was an endless stream of people and it was bustling with activity.
The landing of the Sun Shuttle attracted the attention of countless Ravengale Island cultivators. When they noticed that it was the Sun Shuttle, fear appeared in their eyes.
In the entire Bitter Sea, only one person possessed the Sun Shuttle. That person was Master Mu Feng of the Excellent Divine Academy. He was the only Heavenly Arcana Master in the entire Bitter Sea. His spiritual cultivation was unfathomable and he was publicly acknowledged as an existence that couldn't be provoked.
Moreover, the Excellent Divine Academy was also one of the five strongest islands in the Bitter Sea. Due to Master Mu Feng, it was ranked first among the five islands. Regardless of talent, strength or foundation, it was stronger than the other four islands.
After walking down the Sun Shuttle, Master Mu Feng and his group casually chose a large mountain peak and sat cross-legged on it. They silently waited for the Emperor's Tomb to appear. After all, there was still half a month before the Emperor's Tomb appeared. Thus, they weren't in a hurry.
"Master Mu Feng, Dean Mo Yan and this should be the famous Inner Academy Elder, Hui Xie. Asura is fortunate to be able to meet the three of you. It's truly a blessing of three lifetimes."
A rather candid voice resounded. Soon after, a middle-aged man wearing a blood-red robe rushed over with a group of people and landed in front of Master Mu Feng and his group.
Standing behind Grandmaster Mu Feng, Zhuo Wen's gaze landed on the blood-red robed man as a deep smile appeared on his face. This blood-red robed man was not unfamiliar to him. He was actually the Asura Island's Island Master, Asura Li Di. Back then, Zhuo Wen had been forced into an extremely miserable state by this fellow.
Asura Lidi clearly didn't recognize Zhuowen. After all, when Zhuowen participated in the Asura Island's training, he had used the Hundred Transformation Divine Art to change his appearance. Therefore, after shooting a glance at Zhuowen, he started chatting with Master Mu Feng and the other two with a flattering smile.
Master Mu Feng narrowed his eyes. He was extremely cold towards Asura Lidi's friendly behavior. This caused Asura Lidi to feel awkward. However, he wasn't angry at all. Master Mu Feng's position in the Bitter Sea was extremely high. Even the Excellent Divine Academy's Outer Academy was polite to him, let alone Asura Lidi.
Since Master Mu Feng wasn't willing to pay attention to him, Asura Lidi turned his attention to the Dean and started chatting with him.
The Dean was originally a nice guy. In addition, Asura Lidi was the Island Master of Asura Island. Therefore, he naturally wouldn't be as cold and indifferent as Master Mu Feng.
"Asura Lidi, I heard that your son, Yama Crown Prince, was killed a few months ago. Is that true?"
