A strange look appeared on Qin Wentian's face. But a moment later, the tiny astral-being fell silent again, no longer emitting any aura. Rumbling sounds rang out as the statue on the stone pillar moved again. It was like a heavenly deity pressing down on Qin Wentian.
Upon seeing this scene, Qin Wentian's eyes narrowed. The aura radiating from the tiny astral-being was actually able to cause the statue to return to its original position? Was it because the tiny astral-being was a supreme treasure? Or was it because the tiny astral-being had a connection with the Heaven Vault?
This caused Qin Wentian's interest in the Heaven Vault to grow even more intense. His grandfather died here, the tiny astral-being was acting strangely here. Was there a connection between all of these?
He didn't have time to think too much. In the air, that divinity-like statue descended from the sky. He wielded a gigantic axe in his hands that could split the heavens and earth apart. That gigantic axe cleaved downwards, even space itself seemed to be on the verge of being torn apart. Qin Wentian who stood on the ancient pathway felt extremely tiny and insignificant. He could feel a powerful pressure enveloping him, his entire person seemed to be enveloped by the will of the gigantic axe. A terrifying fissure appeared in the sky, wanting to cleave his body into two.
Qin Wentian had a feeling that the space he was in was about to be torn apart by the giant axe. He had nowhere to escape to.
Behind him, a bright light flashed. Above Qin Wentian's head, numerous ancient characters manifested, revolving around him, transforming into a spatial light screen that resembled a diagram of the Great Dao. In an instant, that incomparably terrifying attack was completely absorbed into the spatial light screen. After that, it dissipated into nothingness. It was like no matter how terrifying the attack was, it had no way to touch his body. Qin Wentian stepped out, exuding an incomparably carefree aura. He directly stepped onto the ancient pathway and passed through the region of stone pillars.
"Another supreme existence." The spectators at the back felt somewhat numb. The Sword Monarch Jian Junlai, the mysterious and powerful Hua Taixu. Now, another supreme existence appeared, easily blocking that tyrannical attack. It felt as though his attack was nearing the level of heavenly dao energy. However, no one knew who this person was.
After Qin Wentian walked past, Jun Mengchen was eager to try. He followed Qin Wentian's footsteps and walked past the stone pillar. Naturally, the attacks he faced were the same.
Many years ago during the convention of myriad realms, Jun Mengchen had already comprehended an extraordinary world heart and became a transcendent-level world overlord. Now that so many years have passed and he was cultivating in the ancient battlefield of Ancient Azure Mystic, with a heavenly deity guiding him as a master, his strength could no longer be compared to the past. His senior brother easily passed the test, Hua Taixu did the same as well, destroying a powerful statue with a single glance. He naturally couldn't lose too much face.
Jun Mengchen stepped out, and in an instant, it was as though all the energy in the world was under his control. Instantly, Jun Mengchen was like an emperor of the mortal world. He stretched out his hands, and beneath his palms, there seemed to be a world of its own. After which, he clenched his fists, and instantly, terrifying beams of light penetrated through his body, shooting up into the clouds. His entire person's aura had reached an inconceivable level.
"What ability is this?" The eyes of everyone flashed as they stared at Jun Mengchen. This man was like the reincarnation of a heavenly deity. The light radiating from him was so dazzling that it was blinding. He lifted his fist and with a roar of anger, he punched out towards the gigantic axe that was flying towards him. His fist light penetrated through the heavens and earth, like a hot knife cutting through butter, destroying everything. The gigantic axe was destroyed, and the gigantic statue directly exploded into pieces.
"Not bad." Jun Mengchen smiled. His cultivation method was different from many people. With a step out, he also walked out of this region. Finally, Qi Yu followed after him. He drew in a deep breath, after inheriting the Battle Saint Bone, he cultivated for many years. Although he sparred with others in the ancient battlefield, this was the first time he came out for a true battle.
From Qi Yu, a world-shaking battle intent gushed forth. Although his body didn't grow larger, the aura he exuded wasn't any weaker compared to the newly formed statue.
An extremely strong battle intent seemed to be about to burst out of his body. The experts behind him could all feel the violent power accumulated in his body.
Finally, Qi Yu let out a thunderous roar, causing the heavens and earth to tremble. Within his roar, numerous runes appeared. These runes contained the battle intent of the heavens and earth, capable of destroying the heavens. When they slammed into the gigantic axe, the runes directly shattered it. After that, they slammed into the gigantic body of the statue, penetrating through it.
"Battle runes?" The people behind watched as Qi Yu left. A look of contemplation could be seen in their eyes. In the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, there were many people who infused their dao energy into runes to attack. Would there be any special meaning behind the runes of battle?
After that, the experts all tried to pass the trial. However, it seemed that only extremely powerful world overlords would be able to do so. For ordinary world overlords who came to the Heaven Vault, they had no way to pass the first trial. In fact, there were even quite a few world overlords who died here.
The Heaven Vault didn't seem to be so easy to barge into. If one didn't know their own strength, there was a high possibility that they would die.
Deities falling wasn't a lie. This was true history.
Qin Wentian and his group walked past the stone pillar region and continued forward. Very soon, they saw many people ahead of them. All of them were standing there, staring ahead, not daring to advance recklessly. They chose to halt their steps. However, when Qin Wentian saw the scene ahead, his heart involuntarily trembled. Within the Heaven Vault, it was truly a different world with each step. Before this, it was like a desolate land with ten heaven-reaching stone pillars blocking the way. But after they stepped past it, what appeared before their eyes was actually a sea. A sea of blood.
This was a sea of blood, so bright that it was dazzling to the eyes.
On the shore, there was a bone boat that floated there. Qin Wentian saw a stone monument erected at the edge of the blood sea. This stone monument was the color of blood, and there were words engraved on it: Blood as the sea, bones as the boat.
Qin Wentian's heart trembled. Using blood as the sea, the blood of a person transformed into a sea of blood. Using bones as the boat, the boat floating in the sea of blood was formed from bones.
What sort of place was the Heaven Vault exactly?
Using blood as the sea, what did it mean?
"Everyone, why are you all not continuing forward?" Qin Wentian came over and asked a person beside him. That person glanced at Qin Wentian. He came here much earlier than Qin Wentian and also wanted to cross the sea. However, when he saw the scene a few days ago, he hesitated.
"This blood sea will melt the moment you touch it. If you sink into it, your bloodline will become a part of the blood sea." That expert calmly spoke. Qin Wentian's expression trembled as he asked, "Has such a situation happened before?"
"Yes." That person slowly nodded, his expression was heavy. "There was a hegemonic-level world overlord who entered the blood sea and rode on a bone boat. It was unknown what he encountered but the bone boat capsized and he was buried in the blood sea, directly transforming into blood. Not even his bones remained."
Qin Wentian's heart pounded violently. The blood sea was actually so terrifying. If a heavenly deity rode on a bone boat and capsized, what would happen to him?
"What about heavenly deities? What would happen to them? " Qin Wentian asked. That person was actually willing to tell Qin Wentian. He continued, "Even heavenly deities would be suppressed after entering the blood sea. Before this, there was already a heavenly deity who tried but he didn't manage to travel too far and returned halfway. Someone asked him what he experienced but he didn't say anything. After a period of time, he turned and left this place, no longer wanting to take the risk."
Jun Mengchen and Qi Yu also walked over. From afar, they could hear the conversation between Qin Wentian and that person. Their hearts trembled. Jun Mengchen spoke, "In that case, we just entered the Heaven Vault and we already encountered an unknown power that could threaten heavenly deities? Even heavenly deities retreated. How many people would dare to enter the blood sea? "
"Heavenly deities have already cultivated to that level and have towering authority. They naturally wouldn't be willing to take the risk." That person laughed. Qin Wentian understood that this was the truth. Since one has already entered the deity realm, why would there be a need to take the risk? If this blood sea truly had the power to kill heavenly deities, there would surely be many heavenly deities who chose to retreat.
"Dangtian, have you made your decision?" At this moment, Qin Zheng also came over. He spoke to Qin Dangtian who was beside him.
"Mhm, I'm willing to continue roaming the world." Qin Dangtian nodded. So what if the blood sea existed? Back then, someone from the Qin Clan had done this before. How could he retreat? After all, he was the Heaven's Son.
"Alright, since this is the case, go ahead. Father will return to the clan and wait for your good news." Qin Zheng spoke. He didn't wish to enter the blood sea. To him, his cultivation base has already reached an extremely high level and he was also the Qin Clan Leader. There was no need for him to take the risk of entering the Heaven Vault.
Back then when Qin Tiangang and his wife died in the Heaven Vault, according to what his father said, their cultivation bases weren't comparable to his current level.
But since his son wanted to enter, he still supported him.
"There are only places I don't wish to go. There's no place I can't go." Qin Dangtian's eyes gleamed with sharpness. He stared at Goddess Nichang beside him as a hint of gentleness flashed in his eyes. "Nichang, the blood sea is extremely dangerous. Don't head there and wait for me to return. How about it?"
Goddess Nichang shook her head lightly. The Heaven Vault was the place where her father died. She wanted to see what secrets this Heaven Vault had exactly.
Seeing Goddess Nichang shaking her head, Qin Dangtian stared at her beautiful eyes and nodded, "Might as well. Let's head there together then. If there's any danger, I will send you back."
As he spoke, he stepped out and boarded a bone boat as he flew forward. The bone boat entered the blood sea. The two of them traveled side by side, resembling an immortal couple.
Many people weren't in a hurry. They wanted to see what would happen to Qin Dangtian and Goddess Nichang. But at this moment, sword intent gushed forth. The ancient sword on Jian Junlai's back was unsheathed and landed on a lone boat. He stepped out and stood on the ancient sword. As for the ancient sword, it was on the bone boat. In the blood sea, only bone boats could travel forward.
"Since Qin Dangtian can enter, why can't I?" Many supreme characters of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms no longer hesitated when they saw someone taking the lead. They all stepped out and steered the bone boats.
Qin Wentian glanced at Qin Zheng who was at the edge of the blood sea. He only heard Qin Zheng mumbling in a low voice, "Back then, I didn't do what you all did. But my son will definitely accomplish it for me."
After speaking, he turned and actually left, heading towards the exit.
Sometimes, he was filled with admiration for his clan brother. Many years after his parents died, the Heaven Vault opened again. He definitely had to enter the Heaven Vault to take a look.
"Let's go." Qin Wentian heard Qin Zheng's words. Who was the 'you all' he was referring to? His grandfather and grandmother came before. Where was his father? Did they enter the Heaven Vault before?
