The forbidden area is located at the core of the inner sea of the Dead Sea, which should be extremely difficult to reach. Have we really arrived at the core of the inner sea?” The Mysterious Ghost Old Demon looked incredulous.
The killing intent in the core of the inner sea is so strong that even a late-stage powerhouse at the third layer of the eternal order realm could hardly approach it. Only when the Dead Sea Forbidden Area opens will a faint pathway appear for passage. However, they had unknowingly arrived at the core of the inner sea, which left the Mysterious Ghost Old Demon utterly surprised.
Or perhaps the killing intent would weaken significantly if they approached from the seabed?
At this moment, the Black Demon of the Underworld said respectfully, "My lord, this place is where the Image of the Sea God appeared back in the day, and it is also the origin of our nether beasts. The earliest nether beasts awakened their consciousness here and gradually formed a clan. But that was in ancient times; our nether beast clan hasn't received an image from the Sea God in a long time. Even approaching this area is impossible, as we would be torn apart by the forces within."
“Oh?”
Qin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, focusing on the enormous whirlpool in the distant seabed.
Before him, countless waters of the Dead Sea twisted violently, continuously being drawn into the pitch-black whirlpool, forming a massive spatial black hole. Within that whirlpool, terrifying spatial power spread out, emitting a chilling aura.
Although Qin Chen and the others were still some distance from the whirlpool, they could clearly feel the horror of the spatial vortex. It was a terrifying force that would instantly shred anything pulled inside.
The mouth of the seabed whirlpool extended upward as if it were a tornado located at the bottom of the sea.
“Big brother, there is a familiar aura inside,” the little girl suddenly said. “Big brother, I want to go in; it seems like there is something very important to me inside.”
“Something very important?”
Qin Chen looked at the little girl, slightly stunned.
Based on the current information, Qin Chen had already figured out that this whirlpool was the origin of the nether beasts and the place where the Image of the Sea God appeared. Furthermore, this location was also found by the masters of the Abandoned City, and it was rumored to be a place with a chance to leave the Dead Sea.
Moreover, it seemed that the little girl had some familiarity with this place, as it contained something extremely important to her.
Regardless of what lay within, Qin Chen was certain that this place was likely linked to the secrets of the entire Abandoned Land and even the birth of the Dead Sea. Most crucially, to save Sisi, he had to leave the Dead Sea and the Abandoned Land, so he had to explore this whirlpool.
“Don’t worry, Xiaoxiao, I will definitely take you in,” Qin Chen said, turning to the Black Demon of the Underworld and the Mysterious Ghost Old Demon, “How do we enter this place?”
“My lord, our nether beast clan cannot enter here,” the Black Demon of the Underworld hurriedly replied. “The entrance to the seabed whirlpool is above the sea surface, but we cannot get close. Once we do, the special power in the entrance will trigger the killing intent within us, causing our bodies to explode and our divine souls to perish, making it impossible for us to survive.”
The other nether beasts nodded in agreement.
The Mysterious Ghost Old Demon continued, “My lord, the entrance to the Dead Sea Forbidden Area is located at the sea surface. However, according to the calculations for the opening time of the Dead Sea Forbidden Area, it is about to open now. It is estimated that quite a few powerhouses from the Abandoned Land have already gathered on the sea surface.”
“My lord, according to the intelligence returned by our clan's scouts, the sea surface has indeed gathered many ghost cultivators, many of whom are the ghost cultivators known as masters of the forbidden zone here,” the Black Demon of the Underworld added.
