Seeing that the ship had reached the edge of the chasm and was about to fall into the bottomless chasm, many people's faces turned pale. The courage and composure that they had just regained were all gone.
Tang Zheng took a deep breath and finally couldn't help but shout, "Fu Yao —!"
Amidst his shout, the others tightly gripped the ship's railing and gritted their teeth. Their eyes couldn't help but reveal a look of despair.
The Empyrean Fairy remained motionless like a statue. Her eyes emitted a dazzling light like resplendent stars, so bright that no one dared to look directly at them. Suddenly, her cherry lips parted slightly and the corners of her mouth blossomed with pleasant surprise. She shouted, "Don't be impatient, we're saved!"
As if to fulfill her words, with a rumble, a huge wave surged out from the crevice shrouded in dense mist. It was dozens of meters tall and seemed to have erupted from the bottom of the sea.
The seawater flowed backwards, counteracting the force of the downwards flow.
The ship immediately came to a stop.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, something floated up from the crevice.
In front of this thing, the battleship from before was like a tiny dot. This was a towering mountain rising from the bottom of the sea, with the seawater parting on its own.
Hiss!
The crowd stared fixedly at this scene and gasped. The battleship was already shocking enough, but this mountain rising from the bottom of the sea made them unable to find any words to describe it.
"What is this?"
Question marks appeared in their minds one after another, but no one could answer.
Tang Zheng's eyes were also filled with suspicion and shock. This sudden change made him unable to guess what was going to happen, and it was impossible for him to predict what was going to happen.
But when he saw the Empyrean Fairy's reaction, he couldn't help but ask, "Empyrean Fairy, do you recognize this mountain?"
A mountain peak floating on the surface of the sea was already extraordinary, but the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden seemed to be very excited, as if she knew this mountain peak, causing Tang Zheng to mutter to himself.
The Empyrean Fairy looked straight ahead and said, "Of course I know it, this is the destination we've been looking for."
"Destination?" Tang Zheng was suspicious. A light flashed through his mind. "You mean the Gate of Heaven?"
The Empyrean Fairy smiled and nodded slightly. "Of course, other than the Elysium, what else is there?"
Elysium?
Tang Zheng looked up, but he didn't see the door that Yan Qingyi had drawn. He only saw towering mountains that seemed to reach into the clouds.
"This is the Gate of Heaven!" The Empyrean Fairy pointed at the mountain and jumped from the deck to the mountain. The mountain was verdant and lush. It was hard to believe that it actually floated up from the bottom of the sea.
The others looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Yan Qingyi walked up to Tang Zheng and said, "What are you waiting for?"
As if waking up from a dream, Tang Zheng hurriedly turned around and returned to the cabin. He picked up Ye Dingdang and glanced at the others. "We'll go up the mountain. The crew will stay."
"… Is there no danger?" The crew members were trembling with fear.
Seeing the Empyrean Fairy walk up the mountain without looking back, Tang Zheng said thoughtfully, "Everyone, don't worry. There won't be any danger. The crack has already been filled up by the mountain and the water flow has stabilized."
The crew members didn't refute. They just looked at the others in shock.
Ye Tianlei and the others naturally wouldn't stay on the ship. They all jumped off the ship. Yan Qingyi didn't know martial arts. Yan Liuyun brought her up the mountain and the group chased after the Empyrean Fairy.
The Empyrean Fairy walked for a while before stopping. She looked up at the towering mountain.
The others caught up with her and asked curiously, "The Gate of Heaven is in this mountain. Why is it so different from what you've seen before?"
From the Empyrean Fairy's reaction, they could tell that she had never seen the Sea of Death before. That meant that it was very different from the last time she came to the Gate of Heaven.
That was why Tang Zheng asked this question.
The Empyrean Fairy said in a deep voice, "When I saw this mountain, I understood everything. The reason why I didn't see the Sea of Death when I saw the Gate of Heaven was because the Sea of Death was created by the Gate of Heaven."
"Is that so?" Everyone's hearts trembled. They couldn't believe it.
"The world changes. Anything can happen. The Gate of Heaven is a place of absolute yin. Over time, this area of the sea has been affected and turned into the Sea of Death. Any ship that passes by will be imprisoned in the Sea of Death. It's difficult to escape. This is the danger of a place of absolute yin. "The Empyrean Fairy explained without stopping.
Everyone fell into deep thought. They gradually understood.
"If a place of absolute yin is so dangerous, what will we encounter?" Fang Shishi asked curiously.
The Empyrean Fairy glanced at her and said, "Things have changed. We didn't encounter too much danger back then, but it's hard to say now."
Everyone's heart sank. It seemed that this trip would really be dangerous. If the Sea of Death could be created, this mountain would definitely have unknown dangers.
"Everyone, be careful. I'll be at the front. If there's any movement, I'll definitely warn everyone." The Empyrean Fairy said dutifully as she walked at the front.
"Follow closely. Don't fall behind!"
Tang Zheng reminded. He carried Ye Dingdang and walked forward. He was half a body's length behind the Empyrean Fairy. His eyes were on the six directions and his ears were on the alert.
Boom!
A loud sound rang out. The ground beneath their feet shook violently.
Everyone stopped in their tracks at the same time and looked around. The loud sound rang out again. It was like the sound of footsteps. It came from afar and approached, shaking everyone's hearts.
"What is it?" Yan Liuyun cried out in alarm, but his face was flushed red, and his heart was excited.
This was a combination of fear and excitement. He wanted to come out on an adventure to see the new world and new things. But when he heard those loud sounds, his blood seemed to be trembling.
The Empyrean Fairy gazed at a nearby mountain peak with a burning gaze.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up. She tapped the ground lightly with the tip of her foot and flew out like a bolt of lightning.
Boom!
Another loud sound rang out as a gigantic creature walked out from behind the mountain peak and entered everyone's line of sight.
"A giant!"
This word immediately popped up in everyone's minds.
However, Tang Zheng had a different idea in his heart. This giant was not made of flesh and blood, but a stone giant. Its entire body was made of stone, and it was over a hundred meters tall. In front of it, humans were insignificant, extremely tiny.
A stone turning into a human didn't give everyone too much of a shock. It was just that the giant's body was somewhat intimidating.
There was no doubt that the Empyrean Fairy had never seen this stone giant before. It must have been born later. Looking at its huge body, its combat power couldn't be underestimated.
The Fairy of the Nine Heavens rushed forward fearlessly. The Painting of Mountains and Rivers of the Gods of Earth and Vale flew out from her hand and suspended in mid-air. A gust of wind swept out from the painting and wrapped around the giant.
Boom!
The giant staggered a few steps. The tall trees around it were trampled under its feet and turned into debris.
The giant waved its fist and tore through the gust of wind. It rushed out of the encirclement. It raised its head and opened its mouth as if it was roaring silently at the Mountain River Map.
The Empyrean Maiden frowned when she saw that her attack had failed to injure her opponent. She cast another spell, and a huge stream of water gushed out from the Painting of Mountains and Rivers of the Gods of Earth and Vale. It was as if the water of the Milky Way was pouring down on the giant's head.
Under the impact of so many water droplets, the giant bent down and supported itself with its hands on the ground, resisting with difficulty.
Bang!
Finally, the giant couldn't bear it and fell on its knees, creating a large pit. Smoke and dust rose and the ground trembled.
The Empyrean Fairy said with a stern expression, "How dare you stir up trouble in the Divine Gate left behind by my father. If I don't kill you, I'm not the Emperor Of Heaven's daughter."
Swoosh!
The Mountain River Map shone brightly and once again, something glittering with cold light fell.
Ice blades!
Everyone saw it clearly.
The Mountain River Map was all-encompassing and its attacks were endless.
The ice blades hit the giant's body and left white marks. The giant couldn't even raise its head. This storm-like continuous attack made the giant unable to resist at all.
When the others saw the Empyrean Fairy's true strength, they were shocked.
Yan Liuyun smacked his lips and exclaimed, "This is an expert!"
This subverted his understanding once again.
He was already considered experienced and knowledgeable, but what he saw and heard this time opened the door to a new world in front of him.
"Don't worry, the giant is no match for the Empyrean Fairy." Tang Zheng's eyesight was better than others, so of course, he understood everything.
As soon as he finished speaking, the giant was completely prostrated on the ground. He no longer had the strength to resist. He hung his head dejectedly and stared at the Fairy of the Nine Heavens and the Painting of Mountains and Rivers.
The Empyrean Fairy landed and stood in front of the giant.
Her body was as small as an ant, and the giant was like an elephant. However, the giant submitted at her feet and didn't dare to act rashly.
"What are you?" The Empyrean Fairy asked with an ashen face.
The giant opened its mouth, but no sound came out.
"So it's just a useless thing." The Empyrean Fairy shook her head and said regretfully.
The others also caught up and looked at the giant at close range. One could imagine the shock in their hearts.
"What do we do now?" Tang Zheng asked.
The Empyrean Fairy looked behind the mountain peak and said, "There must be more dangerous things behind. Just be careful. As for this thing …" The Empyrean Fairy pondered for a moment, then rushed out with a swoosh and hit the giant's chest with her fist.
The thin fist was insignificant compared to the giant's body, but the power that burst out of the fist was enough to split mountains. There was a loud bang, and from the center of the giant's heart, cracks quickly spread in all directions, covering the giant's entire body in an instant.
Ka-cha!
The giant shattered, turning into giant rocks that scattered all over the ground. It no longer had the awe-inspiring aura it had before.
The Empyrean Fairy clapped her hands and walked through the rubble, heading deeper into the mountain.
The others looked at each other, then came to and followed her.
The air was filled with an austere aura, as if there was an invisible pressure pressing down on everyone's hearts. Even their breathing became heavy. Looking at the unfathomable mountain and the endless dense forest, no one had any confidence in their hearts. They didn't know what was waiting for them.
