In the Dead Sea, after flying through for a while, Qin Chen and the others quickly noticed that the color of the Dead Sea ahead was gradually changing.
If the original Dead Sea was a light black, then the current Dead Sea was a deep, rich black, as if a large amount of ink had been mixed into the ocean, dyeing it pitch black.
“Sir, we are approaching the inner sea of the Dead Sea,” the Mysterious Ghost Old Demon said respectfully as he approached Qin Chen.
“Inner sea?”
Looking at the pitch-black Dead Sea ahead, Qin Chen's expression became slightly serious. He had not yet entered the inner sea, but he could already sense that the aura contained within the Dead Sea before him was far more terrifying than that of the outer sea where they had been previously. The two even formed a clear barrier between them, as if the distinction was starkly evident.
“After flying for so long, we've finally reached the inner sea. It seems that the Dead Sea is truly vast,” said the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor as he glanced at the Mysterious Ghost Old Demon. “Mysterious Ghost, where exactly is the Dead Sea Forbidden Area that you mentioned, the one that can lead out of the Abandoned Land?”
The Mysterious Ghost Old Demon hurriedly clasped his hands and replied, “Sir, Senior of Ten Thousand Bones, the Dead Sea Forbidden Area is located in the heart of the innermost part of the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is actually divided into three areas: the outer sea, the inner sea, and the core area. The killing intent in the outer sea is not particularly strong, and ordinary ghost cultivators can even enter and explore. However, there is not much of interest in the outer sea; although it is not dangerous, there are no treasures, and nether beasts rarely appear.”
The Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor frowned and said, “Wait a minute, the outer sea is not dangerous? What about the two ghost cultivators we encountered earlier...”
“The two ghost cultivators had already reached the transcendence second layer of the divine manifestation of all creation realm. They probably came from the inner sea to the outer sea,” the Mysterious Ghost Old Demon paused for a moment before continuing, “However, the inner sea is vastly different; its dangers are many times greater than those of the outer sea. Not only is the killing intent several times stronger, but there are also various natural disasters and nether beasts frequently appearing in the inner sea.”
The Mysterious Ghost Old Demon explained, “Nether beasts are a type of ghost beast unique to the Dead Sea. They live within the Dead Sea and contain terrifying killing intent, posing a great threat to us ghost cultivators. However, if we manage to kill them, we might obtain the Killing Intent Soul Crystals they condense within them. Refining these Killing Intent Soul Crystals can help us comprehend killing intent and enhance our resistance to the Dead Sea.”
“Additionally, due to countless years of changes, there are also some Killing Intent Crystals condensed beneath the inner sea. If one ventures deep into the Dead Sea, they can find these Killing Intent Crystals, and refining them can also enhance one's understanding and resistance to killing intent.”
“The Dead Sea Source Crystal that the King of the Forest of the Underworld had was one of these exceptional Killing Intent Crystals,” the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor suddenly interjected.
“Can we actually dive to the bottom of the Dead Sea?” he asked.
The Mysterious Ghost Old Demon looked at the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor in shock, then realized something and nodded, “Of course, the reason the Dead Sea is called 'Dead Sea' is because it is composed of countless waters; one can certainly dive below.”
“Won't we be eroded by the killing intent in the Dead Sea?” the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor asked in disbelief.
It was said that the water of the Dead Sea was exceedingly terrifying. The Dead Sea Spring Eye that Young Master Chen obtained was rumored to be inaccessible even to the master of the forbidden zone, but this Dead Sea water...
