Chapter 1824 (Raw 1835): Blazing Sea of Blood

I’ve arrived!

The mysterious cave mouth had already sucked in all the demonic clouds in the sky. The thick, black demonic clouds filling the cave mouth formed various strangely shaped demonic beasts howling, shaking the sky and ground.

There were also all sorts of malicious ghosts and resentful spirits shrieking and wailing in the churning black clouds in the cave. They cried about the misery of the world, their hatred, their helplessness, despair, and many other things.

The boundless hatred was terrifying.

Everywhere that Xiao Chen looked, he saw countless corpses lying around the cave mouth, sprawling in all directions.

The ferocious pirates of the Starlight Sea Region and the three Demonic Dao sects must have had a huge battle here, resulting in many casualties.

However, even more people should have made it into this mysterious cave.

As Xiao Chen looked at this enormous cave, he felt very insignificant and melancholic.

When the Scarlet Blood Pirate King was alive, he must have been a Faux God who already lit up his Divine Flame.

Xiao Chen believed that the Scarlet Blood Pirate King had not reached the True God Realm.

At the True God Realm, one would be one with the world, one’s physical body immortal, one’s soul never to be destroyed, living forever.

However, it was said that there were no True Gods in the world. Like the Immortals of the Immortal Epoch, who mostly lived in the Immortal Court, the True Gods lived in a similar world.

This was because True Gods had struggled free of the Heavenly Dao’s control. They no longer suffered the torture of aging. If they appeared in the Great Thousand Realms, they would disrupt the worldly order. As such, True Gods would not appear in the Great Thousand Realms under normal circumstances.

If one became a Faux God, one would already stand at the apex of this Great Thousand Realms.

One’s physical body would be immortal; one’s lifespan would be very long, practically imperishable.

However, it was just practically imperishable. One could still die like the Scarlet Blood Pirate King before Xiao Chen had.

“What a mysterious cave! It looks like the mouth of a monster swallowing up the millions of kilometers of demonic clouds in one breath.”

“How can this be possible? If this was the mouth of a monster, then how strong would its body be? That is impossible.”

“Strange. Strange, indeed.”

“I heard that the Myriad Holy Temple of the past found out a shocking secret about the Myriad Star Mountain, which resulted in the destruction of the entire sect. I wonder if it has anything to do with the mysterious cave in front?”

Just at this moment, another group of people approached the cave mouth. When they saw the various mysterious phenomena materialized by the demonic cloud in the cave, they did not enter. Instead, they discussed it in whispers.

When Xiao Chen heard this, he looked at the cave once again. It was really possible that this was the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s mouth.

This meant that the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s inheritance should be inside his body.

The body of a Faux God expert would surely have many wonderful and original things in it. It would definitely be very dangerous.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Light appeared. Some Demonic Dao cultivators behind could not resist charging in.

Sensing the presence of people, the demonic cloud in the cave immediately turned into various ferocious beasts that flew out. When those people charged over into the demonic cloud, the ferocious beasts pounced on them, and an intense battle commenced.

Suddenly, miserable shrieks rang out. The people who entered all died.

Many resentful souls appeared in the churning demonic cloud. Those were the Demonic Dao cultivators who just entered.

“Damn! The demonic cloud actually swallowed up those cultivators’ flesh and blood to grow. Even in death, they won’t find peace and move on to the afterlife.”

“This is just the entrance, and it is already too difficult for so many people.”

“This is annoying. Even though we know that this is the entrance to a treasure trove, we have no way of entering.”

Seeing the mysterious phenomena in the demonic cloud, the Demonic Dao cultivators broke out in curses, venting the frustrations in their hearts.

Xiao Chen thought to himself, With my speed, I can instantly break through this demonic cloud with the Thunder Dragon Burst. I do not need to waste time on the demonic cloud and can pass unharmed. This is not too difficult for me.

Just as Xiao Chen was about to make his move, an incredibly strong aura arrived. A shiver ran down his back as a strong chill assaulted him.

A strange, three-hundred-meter-long bird that seemed to exist in between illusion and reality slowly descended from the sky, carrying a few people.

“An Underworld Ghost Bird!”

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows. He had long heard of this strange bird. Its body could turn immaterial, and it naturally possessed a strong spatial attribute. It was said that it was born in the underworld and that its riders could find the gates to the underworld.

“It’s the people of the Blood Demon Palace!”

Upon seeing the Underworld Ghost Bird, the people nearby immediately recognized its riders’ origins.

“Underworld Ghost Birds are very rare. Only the true inheritors are qualified to have them. The aura of the leader is so strong. Could he be the strongest true inheritor, Yun Mubai?!”

The strongest true inheritor!

Xiao Chen’s heart skipped a beat. He could not help waiting and observing. He saw that the leader on the Underworld Ghost Bird wore white and that his complexion was very fair like a woman’s. He had a scarlet moon mark on his forehead, and there were four pretty maidservants around him.

“Whoosh!”

Before Xiao Chen could see much more, the Underworld Ghost Bird went into the demonic cloud in a breath of time.

The Underworld Ghost Bird slowly immaterialized, merging even the people on its back into the air. Then, it silently entered unscathed.

“It is truly an Underworld Ghost Bird. How mysterious!”

“Yun Mubai already appeared. In that case, the Fantasy Cloud Sect’s Xiahou Xuan and the Heavenly Eagle Castle’s Long Tingyu should be arriving soon.”

“They are all strong people. I heard that the three of them are late-stage Star Venerates and are known as unrivaled among Star Venerates. Short of a Holy Venerate, no one can harm them. Anyone who tries would just be seeking death.”

These three were indeed strong; however, that was all there was to them.

A brilliant light flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes, and the Thunder Dragon Burst erupted. As thunder roared, he instantly traveled through the demonic cloud like a laser beam.

“Damn! Who is that? He is really fast.”

“Since when did such an expert appear?”

“It should be an elite of a 7-Star pirate ship. I heard that the three great 7-Star pirate groups of the Starlight Sea Region—the Silver Fox Pirate Group, the Blood Shadow Pirate Group, and the Berserk Wind Pirate Group—are all here.”

“It is really getting messier. We can’t even enter this cave. It looks like we won’t gain any benefit at all.”

After traveling through the demonic cloud, Xiao Chen continued down the only path, looking around.

The walls were as tough as divine materials, appearing as mysterious as could be. When he touched the walls, he got an eternal and immortal feeling from it.

Experts with sharp eyes could tell that the walls were extraordinary. Some had used their Dao Tools on the walls, wanting to break off some of the material.

However, no one succeeded. Some of the weaker Dao Tools even cracked, showing signs of the Great Dao in them collapsing.

“Damn it! What kind of blasted place is this? To think that my Dao Tool is damaged.”

“This is inconceivable. An entire Great Dao actually crumbled.”

Some of these Star Venerate experts felt regret and wanted to cry.

Xiao Chen looked at the long passageway and entered deep thought. If the cave was the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s mouth, then he was now walking in the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s throat.

When he saw the long passageway and the incredibly hard walls, he could not help his amazement.

How strong exactly was the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s physical body when he was alive?

“My name is Scarlet Blood. I have a body of scarlet iron with burning-hot blood!”

These words were the starting lines of the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s last message. Now that Xiao Chen saw it for himself, he realized that they were true and even possibly an understatement.

He continued forward, and after five hundred kilometers, the temperature suddenly rose sharply.

A vast sea of blood appeared in front, surging like lava, gurgling and giving off hot air.

This was a blazing sea of blood. The blood sea was vast, with a large continent floating in the center.

The blazing sea of blood was another challenge. Not only was its temperature high, but there were also many blazing blood fish monsters in it. With one glance, it was clear that they would not be easy to deal with.

As for that continent…

Xiao Chen frowned slightly. There seemed to be a whole world within that continent. When he looked at it, he could vaguely make out two different lights shining everywhere.

“My heart is like the sun and the moon, shining bright for ten thousand years!”

Could that continent be the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s heart? It was very possible that the inheritance was in the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s heart.

“My body is like a sword, filled with a firm and unyielding pride; my heart is like the sun and the moon, shining bright for ten thousand years.”

The burning blood was the boundless blazing sea of blood burning endlessly. The huge continent floating on the sea of blood was the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s heart.

There was a whole world within the continent, with both sun and moon, shining bright for ten thousand years.

If one could find the firm and unyielding sword in the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s heart, one would be able to obtain the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s inheritance and receive the treasure that he left behind.

Perhaps people like Yan Zhe would not understand what “my body is like a sword” meant.

However, from a certain angle, Xiao Chen and the Scarlet Blood Pirate King were the same kind of person. Now that he had arrived at the place that the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s last words indicated, he immediately understood.
