Divine King of Honour

Near Shendang Mountain, at this moment, a group of cultivators was frantically fleeing.

These cultivators cursed under their breath as they ran.

That damned guy angered the giant dragon. Doesn't he know that this is a True Dragon with power comparable to the Earth Immortal Peak?

If they had known this True Dragon would be alarmed, they would never have come near Shendang Mountain.

At the entrance to Shendang Mountain, a beautiful figure was swiftly escaping.

Behind her, a giant dragon several hundred feet long was in hot pursuit.

The dragon roared fiercely while chasing, its roar shaking heaven and earth.

The dragon's iron-like tail struck the nearby peaks, shattering them to pieces.

If Xu Nian saw this woman, he would be extremely surprised, because it was none other than Sun Yuxiang, who had left earlier.

Sun Yuxiang's speed was astoundingly fast and bizarre.

Her figure moved like a phantom, forming hundreds of human-like shadows, even the True Dragon couldn't catch up with her.

"Whoosh!"

Sun Yuxiang's form turned into a fleeting shadow, escaping beyond the outer perimeter of Shendang Mountain.

The giant dragon stopped its pursuit, bound by its duty, unable to leave.

"It is indeed somewhat difficult." Sun Yuxiang frowned slightly. She opened her palm, revealing a purple mark in her palm.

It was a blooming purple petal, yet extremely strange, even Xu Nian wouldn't recognize what kind of petal it was.

Sun Yuxiang looked at the petal in her palm, which had a total of nine petals, one of which had already dimmed.

Obviously, she used the power of the petal just now, which allowed her to escape the mouth of the True Dragon.

She originally planned to use the power of the petal to enter the depths of Shendang Mountain to obtain the token of the mountain, but unexpectedly encountered great difficulties at the first stage.

This True Dragon was more terrifying than she had imagined.

"It seems I still need to find an ally." Sun Yuxiang looked charmingly into the distance, apparently having someone in mind.

...

As Xu Nian and the others headed towards Shendang Mountain, the Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar and its group had also arrived at the Hell Sea.

Xu Nian and his crew disembarked from the ship, and what unfolded before them was an immensely vast ocean.

Though it was called an ocean, it was not a real sea.

Because this ocean was not composed of water, but of an endless sea of energy.

The energy here was extremely violent, quite unlike the calm spiritual energy. Once it entered a person's body, it would trigger their True Essence and Immortal Essence, driving them into madness.

The most frightening part was that within this sea of energy, numerous extraordinary creatures were lurking.

These creatures were extremely ferocious, their numbers terrifyingly high.

"This is the Hell Sea, the most perilous dead zone in our Tianhen Star Domain," Liu Bai Ru said to Xu Nian.

Xu Nian frowned, looking at the energy sea in front of him.

Although there was no sound transmission in this boundless void, he could feel the intense surging of energy within the Hell Sea.

If there were sound, their ears would be filled with deafening roars at this moment.

Moreover, Xu Nian could feel the terrifying power waves brought about by the energy surging, enough to threaten any strong person at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage.

"This Hell Sea is indeed extremely terrifying. Those creatures that can survive inside likely have formidable strength. Yet, the expanse of this Hell Sea is unknown," Xu Nian said.

"Those creatures are incredibly frightening, with power at least at the Early Stage Earth Immortal, some even comparable to Middle Stage or Late Stage Earth Immortals. As for the range of the Hell Sea, that would be something only Elder Yu Mo knows," Liu Bai Ru spoke.

She used Immortal Essence while speaking, so everyone heard her voice.

Thus, all eyes turned to Elder Yu Mo.

Obviously, they also wished to know the extent of the Hell Sea, as it concerned their survival.

"The scope of the Hell Sea is extremely vast. Once entered, it's easy to lose your way. Even if you don't encounter any formidable fierce beasts, you might not find your way out. The key is, within the Hell Sea, you cannot absorb spiritual energy. Once it depletes, you can only wait for death," Elder Yu Mo said.

All around, people frowned, clearly realizing that the Hell Sea was even more dangerous than they had imagined.

"How long does it take to get out of this Hell Sea?" the Tianbao Pavilion Master asked.

Even he, a Late Stage Earth Immortal expert, dared not underestimate the Hell Sea.

Similarly, the assassin from Mu Residence did the same.

"I once got lost in this Hell Sea, and it took me three hundred years to traverse it," Elder Yu Mo said.

Everyone around gasped in shock.

Some were so disappointed, they were ready to turn back.

Three hundred years?

With that time, they would have completed their cultivation long ago, why would they care about the Ancient Sage Sect's legacy?

Xu Nian also frowned; if it truly required that long, he would turn around and leave immediately.

"But rest assured, this time I've found the Pathfinding Talisman at the Ancient Sage Sect. With it, we can reach the interior in the shortest time, only needing three months if we encounter no obstacles," Elder Yu Mo said.

Everyone around breathed a sigh of relief at these words.

Three months; that duration they could accept.

"However, at present, there are only three Pathfinding Talismans, and one talisman can lead eight people. So the grouping is up to you," Elder Yu Mo said.

At this, everyone around erupted in astonishment.

Three Pathfinding Talismans, each capable of leading only eight people.

This meant they had to form three teams to enter this Hell Sea.

Wouldn't that increase their risk?

Xu Nian also frowned; this aspect was something Elder Yu Mo hadn't mentioned during their journey.

Bringing it up now was clearly intentional.

There might be a conspiracy in this.

But many had no choice and had to form teams.

The Guihai Family naturally teamed up with Mu Residence, making a total of six people.

The two remaining spots, which the Mountain Sea Sect initially wanted to seize, were unexpectedly taken by the Batian Sect.

Other experts from various factions teamed up, forming an eight-person squad.

In this way, only the Tiande Sect, Tianbao Pavilion, and Mountain Sea Sect remained.

Xu Nian and the Tianbao Pavilion naturally teamed up without issue, but forming an alliance with the Mountain Sea Sect was bound to be problematic.

Yet, the current situation seemed to leave them no room to refuse.

Liu Bai Ru also frowned.

The Mountain Sea Sect Master approached with a smile, saying to Liu Bai Ru: "Since we've already teamed up, I'm willing to set aside our past grievances and work together. Would Master Liu be willing?"

"Humph, hypocrite," Liu Bai Ru retorted bluntly.

The Mountain Sea Sect Master letting go of his grievances? Is that possible?

The Mountain Sea Sect Master smiled; he wasn't surprised by this answer.

However, when he exchanged glances with his son Lin Wu, a gleam of cunning flickered in his eyes.
