Qin Wentian's body sank into the blood sea. He could feel his body gradually disappearing, transforming into nothingness. When he completely entered the blood sea, he could sense that he no longer had a body of flesh and blood. There was only a soul of nothingness left.
"The blood sea can corrode one's body but is there still a soul?" Qin Wentian asked himself. As long as one's soul remained, one's body could be regenerated. As long as one's soul didn't die, they would be indestructible.
The white bone boat continued sinking, sinking into the depths of the blood sea. Qin Wentian's soul was sinking as well. At the same time, he floated forward. Even if only his soul remained, he wanted to traverse this blood sea.
The Heaven Vault was able to attract heavenly deities to take the risk. There was definitely a secret behind it. But right now, he had yet to come into contact with anything.
Ahead, in the blood sea, a black-colored energy current drifted towards Qin Wentian's soul of nothingness. This was none other than the energy current that corroded the defenses of the experts in the blood sea earlier. This black-colored energy current actually transformed into a humanoid figure. Its eyes were pitch-black, incomparably evil, like an evil spirit. After that, not only did Qin Wentian see a single evil spirit, there were many of them. These black-colored energy currents transformed into evil spirits that directly lunged towards his soul.
Qin Wentian's soul radiated light, it was the light from his astral soul, wanting to block the invasion of the evil spirits. However, when those evil spirits lunged over, they instantly engulfed the astral light. Countless black-colored evil spirits lunged towards his soul. At this moment, Qin Wentian only felt his soul being devoured bit by bit. He suddenly felt a sense of terror. The terror these evil spirits gave him caused his consciousness to dissipate.
"Am I dead?" Qin Wentian felt his consciousness gradually turning blurry. After that, he seemed to have returned to Ancient Azure Mystic, floating in the airspace above it.
He saw Qing 'er, he saw Qingcheng, he saw Ye Qianyu, he saw Youhuang and Bai Qing. All of them were waiting for him. Day after day, year after year, yet he still hadn't returned.
It was as though he could see Qing'er cutting off all her white hair, her heart like dead ashes. She could also see Qingcheng being heartbroken.
His will also drifted to the Demon God Mountain. He saw his grandfather and Lei`er. When they learned of his death, Lei`er cried. His grandfather inclined his head to the sky and sighed. His uncle had a look of sorrow on his face. Everything has ended. There was no one to avenge the death of his parents. There was no one to take care of his wife and she had to stay in this world to suffer. Such terror caused him to despair, causing his will to grow weaker and weaker. It was like he didn't want to continue watching.
"Since I can see all of this, it means that my consciousness still exists in this world. I am not completely dead." Qin Wentian's dissipating will suddenly returned, pulling him back into the blood sea. The countless evil spirits continued to corrode his soul but at this moment, Qin Wentian's will was incomparably resolute. His soul floated forward, allowing the evil spirits to corrode it as they pleased.
These evil spirits formed from the black qi currents couldn't truly destroy his soul and wipe away his will. It was like a form of consciousness, it was ethereal and filled with fear. If he lost his consciousness in fear, most probably, his soul would truly dissipate here, sinking into this blood sea for all eternity.
Qin Wentian's soul continued moving forward, following the blood sea. The evil spirits kept on invading him. With his first experience, he no longer wavered and continued forward with incomparable determination.
Not only for Qin Wentian, everyone who entered the blood sea would be corroded by the evil spirits.
Goddess Nichang was surrounded by countless evil spirits but she still radiated a holy light. She also had an ethereal body but tears could be seen at the corners of her eyes. But even so, she still continued moving forward.
In the blood sea, Qin Wentian didn't know how many people had entered. He couldn't be bothered with them anymore. The him now could only rely on his powerful will to resist everything.
He believed that there would be a day where he would be able to exit this blood sea.
However, Qin Wentian's firm conviction wavered after a period of time. As time flowed by, he felt that he had spent a few centuries in the blood sea. However, the blood sea seemed boundless, as though he had no way to exit it. He was unable to reach the other shore.
The evil spirits formed from the black air currents never stopped invading him, bringing with them all sorts of negative emotions. One day, two days, one year, two years … Qin Wentian felt that he had been walking in the blood sea for far too long. However, there was still no end to the blood sea. He kept telling himself that he had to hold fast to his original heart and not waver. There would be a day where he would be able to exit this blood sea. Maybe, the day would be tomorrow.
Hope rose time and time again, but he was disappointed again and again until it turned into despair.
The blood sea was still the same blood sea as before. It was like he had never moved before, like he had always been wandering at his original location. However, tens of years seemed to have passed. He continued walking forward like this, walking for tens of years. Only he knew how much despair he felt. In addition, there was also fear constantly invading his heart.
Fear and despair were sufficient to destroy a person completely.
He involuntarily thought of Qing'Er and Qingcheng. Every time he felt that he couldn't persevere anymore, he would think of them. He could still continue on.
However, despair was eternal. It was able to destroy his conviction bit by bit. It was unknown how many years had passed but he was still walking in the blood sea. If this was the case, even if there would be a day where he could exit the blood sea, it would already be countless years later.
Qin Wentian was tired. He felt that he was truly exhausted. He wanted to give up and allow himself to sink into despair.
His consciousness dissipated bit by bit, as though he had no way to persevere any longer. But at this moment, he shivered as he felt a chill in his soul. In an instant, all the illusions vanished. He broke free from the despair. His body was currently being invaded by many evil spirits. Those tens of years of despair, it was as though they were nothing but a dream.
Evil spirits, not only could they bring about fear, they could also bring about despair. These evil spirits in the blood sea contained all sorts of negative emotions. They only had a single purpose, to cause people to crumble.
"Too terrifying." Qin Wentian felt a chill in his heart. Unknowingly, they could cause you to sink so deep that you couldn't extricate yourself. You thought that you had just walked out of the illusion and entered reality, only to discover that reality was still an illusion.
Qin Wentian continued forward. He saw a beautiful figure ahead of him. That was Goddess Nichang's soul. She was currently struggling and seemed to have fallen into despair and terror. Qin Wentian's soul floated forward. A strand of his soul energy entered Goddess Nichang's world of despair. Their souls were connected.
"It's you?" Goddess Nichang's beautiful eyes stared at Qin Wentian.
"It's me. The evil spirits in the blood sea have the ability to bewitch the hearts of people. They can create all sorts of negative emotions, causing people to feel despair and fear." Qin Wentian spoke. "Don't be moved by them."
Goddess Nichang's beautiful eyes flashed. After that, she seemed to break free from the despair. Her soul trembled and her beautiful eyes turned to Qin Wentian, "Thank you. Let's leave together."
"Right." Qin Wentian nodded. The two of them continued forward, continuing to walk through the blood sea. However, they still couldn't exit. During the process of walking, they encountered many dangers and kept on resisting the invasion of the evil spirits.
"Will we be trapped here forever?" Goddess Nichang's beautiful eyes stared at Qin Wentian.
"We won't." Qin Wentian shook his head. At this moment, Goddess Nichang stretched out her slender hand and held Qin Wentian's hand, "I'm tired. I want to give up."
Qin Wentian's hand trembled. He stared at Goddess Nichang, "Even if this blood sea is truly boundless, we will still exit it."
"I'm really tired. Can you stay here and accompany me?" Goddess Nichang moved closer to Qin Wentian, wanting to lean against Qin Wentian. Upon seeing this scene, Qin Wentian closed his eyes. He sighed, "When will I be able to experience reality exactly? Could it be that these evil spirits are able to bring me into an illusory realm endlessly?"
When he opened his eyes, Goddess Nichang was no longer here. Everything was fake. Before this, he felt despair and fear. What was this? Was this the desire and greed in his heart?
Goddess Nichang was the number one beauty in the Heaven Region and had a period of interaction with Qin Wentian before. It was impossible for Qin Wentian to not have any desire and greed in his heart. There would always be desires and greed in the heart of everyone. It was just a matter of how strong they were. Qin Wentian didn't have any thoughts about Goddess Nichang, but the desire in his heart was actually dug out by the evil spirits.
"Using blood as the sea, using bones as the boat." Qin Wentian mumbled. He no longer wanted to continue forward. With these countless evil spirits around, he couldn't even differentiate between reality and illusion.
"Since this is the case, I will use my soul as the boat and my will as the sea. The blood sea won't be able to block my path forward." Qin Wentian mumbled. His soul transformed into a small boat. His powerful will floated forward in the blood sea. His powerful will seemed to fuse together with the blood sea, protecting the soul boat as it moved forward. No matter how the evil spirits tried to corrode it, it was unaffected. He didn't use the blood sea to move forward, he only relied on his own will to move forward.
After a very, very long time, Qin Wentian felt a gentle breeze blowing over. He opened his eyes, only to feel incomparably comfortable. He came to the shore of a seashore and continued forward. His soul was in perfect condition, as well as his physical body. It was as though everything he experienced earlier was nothing but an illusion. However, the sea of blood behind him was so real.
But no matter what, he managed to reach the other shore.
On the other shore, there were only a few people. Compared to the people on the other side of the blood sea, there was an intense contrast.
Among these few people, there was the Sword Monarch Jian Junlai, Reverend Seven Abstinences and Hua Taixu.
Hua Taixu actually managed to reach the other shore with such speed. He cultivated the cycle of reincarnation. Those illusions couldn't obstruct him at all!
"Using blood as the sea, using bones as the boat. All the evil spirits are evil. This Heaven Vault, could it be …" Reverend Seven Abstinences mumbled, thinking of a possibility. His calm heart involuntarily trembled!
