In the lower reaches of the Heavenspan River, the disciples and elders of the River-Defying Sect, as well as the Nascent Soul patriarchs, stood on the deck of several enormous battleships, looking down at the river with excited expressions.
Massive waves rose up from the golden waters of the river, and rumbling sounds could be heard as a head the size of an island slowly rose up from beneath the surface of the Heavenspan River!
As the head rose up, the river water surged, and the 30,000-meter Heavenspan Battleships began to tremble. Countless gasps could be heard, and looks of astonishment could be seen on the faces of many onlookers.
Slowly, the giant's head lifted up a bit more, revealing … a pair of eyes that caused everyone's hearts to tremble. Gradually, a nose appeared, and then a mouth appeared. Then, a roar that caused the sky to tremble erupted from the giant's mouth.
This giant was named the Blood Ancestor, and was the foundation of the Blood Stream Sect's cultivation techniques. Under Bai Xiaochun's control, the 30,000-meter giant's corpse suddenly began to move. Even as the Heavenspan River and the land quaked, it slowly rose to its feet.
Its broad shoulders were only slightly narrower than the width of the Heavenspan River itself, and its thick flesh and blood radiated terrifying pressure. Everything below its waist sank down into the Heavenspan River, and if anyone could see through the water, they would see that the Blood Ancestor's lower body was now at the bottom of the river!
To cultivators, the Heavenspan River was very deep, but to the Blood Ancestor, it wasn't!
"Greetings, Blood Ancestor!!"
"Greetings, Blood Ancestor!!" One roar after another rose up into the air above the Heavenspan River, filling the air with dazzling energy!
At some point, the black-robed, long-haired, expressionless Cheng Hao suddenly appeared on the Blood Ancestor's head. This time, he was in his true form, and invisible ripples spread out in all directions, making it impossible for even the Nascent Soul patriarchs to see him.
At the same time, a blurry figure appeared on the Blood Ancestor's head, facing Cheng Hao.
The figure was wearing a long black robe. It was impossible to see his face clearly. Even Cheng Hao could only vaguely tell that the figure was an old man with a deathly aura when he was not using the ability of his left eye.
He silently looked at the Blood Ancestor's body, his eyes filled with complex emotions and memories.
"The Blood Ancestor … what a pity!"
Cheng Hao's voice was calm, and the sound waves did not spread outwards. Only the old man opposite him could hear it clearly.
"What a pity!"
The old man sighed and raised his head to look at Cheng Hao. His eyes were filled with complex emotions.
"Sir, you're from the Outer Realm. Did you show yourself to me today because you want to obtain the key to leave this world from me?"
"The key to leave?" Cheng Hao chuckled, but his eyes were unusually calm. "You … Do you really have the key?"
"You!" The old man's expression was one of shock as he stared unblinkingly at Cheng Hao. Then, he straightened up, as if he were preparing to attack at any moment.
"This world is reaching its limit. It won't be long before it completely collapses. If you can't produce a suitable successor to the arch-emperor before that happens, then most of the people in this world will end up as playthings for powerful experts in the outside world!" "That's right," Meng Hao said.
Cheng Hao turned a blind eye to the old man's intention to attack and continued to speak in an unhurried manner.
"Sir, do you know a lot about the Outer Realm?" the old man asked, frowning. Reining in his aura, he seemed to have no intention of attacking Yang Qi.
"I don't know a lot, but I know a bit more than you do." Cheng Hao sighed. "It's a mess out there. The only reason I'm here is because I need some peace and quiet to work on my cultivation. Even if it's only for a few decades, that's more than enough.
"If you're here to work on your cultivation, then I'll welcome you. But if you get in the way of my plan to raise the Arch-Emperor, then I'll take you with me, even if I have to die in the process!"
Sensing that Cheng Hao wasn't easy to deal with, the old man hesitated for a moment, then decided against attacking him. With that, he turned and vanished ….
This old man was the Hell-Emperor of the Arch-Emperor Realm, and could control the Underworld River. He was as strong as a Sage, and not even Cheng Hao was confident in being able to defeat him. Therefore, after a bit of verbal sparring, the meeting was over.
"River-Defying Sect … all forces, move out!!"
No one had seen what had happened between Cheng Hao and the old man. After the Blood Ancestor rose to his feet, he threw his head back and roared, then took a step forward. Rumbling sounds echoed out as the river water parted to allow the giant to advance!
Next, the three 30,000-meter Heavenspan Battleships exploded with shocking power as they followed the Blood Ancestor through the river water.
Looking from afar, under the setting sun, the giant was in front. Above its head stood a blurry figure that was invisible to outsiders. Three battleships were behind it, moving against the current. Its aura was so powerful that it shook the heavens and earth, causing the sky to change colors and the clouds to swirl in reverse!
"Patriarch Spirit Stream," he said, "why doesn't that Senior from your restricted area come?"
Standing on the deck of one of the battleships was Patriarch Spirit Stream, who wore a blood-colored robe. His expression was unsightly.
"No, the Senior is already here!"
Patriarch Spirit Stream shook his head and looked up at the setting sun, bathing in the golden light of the waves. A mysterious smile could be seen on his face.
"Although I can't see where the Senior is, I can sense that he can. However, I can sense that Senior Haotian is already here. Although the pressure on his soul is very faint, I … can still sense it! "
Patriarch Spirit Stream and the other patriarchs exchanged confused glances. None of them had sensed the pressure Patriarch Spirit Stream was talking about. However, considering how certain Patriarch Spirit Stream was, it seemed likely that he had used some special technique to sense it. Therefore, there was nothing they could really say.
The Heavenspan Sea was divided into four directions: east, west, south, and north. There were four major rivers, and the Heavenspan River that Cheng Hao and the others were currently on was the eastern branch of the Heavenspan River. The Blood Ancestor's battleship was heading downstream toward the Middle Reaches.
The headquarters of the Middle Reaches sect, the Sky River Court, was located next to the Heavenspan River, and was at least ten times larger than the Heavenspan Stream in the Lower Reaches. At a glance, one could barely make out the images on either side of the river.
