Infinite secrets were hidden in the vast ocean. Even the Sea Clan, the dominators of the ocean, could only live in the resource-rich coastal waters close to the continental shelf.
The sky-hunting warship snuck in the deep sea for an entire day. After making sure that nobody was following them, it finally leaped out of the deep sea and flew at a high speed close to the surface of the ocean!
Half a day later, they arrived at the Silver Continent, which was the smallest continent of the three in the Blood Demon Sector and had the least resources and almost no vegetation.
In the cabin that was filled with buffer liquids, a synthetic nerve that could be extended and extended at will had been buried in the cabin behind every passenger. Through the ports on the back of the neck of the Cell Infiltration Combat Suit, it was very convenient for the passengers to connect their brains to the entire skeleton warship, thereby establishing an enormous command and battle network.
Dozens of enormous biochemical eyes were growing on the surface of the skeleton warship. The biochemical eyes, which were based on the eyeballs of the deep-sea squids and had been modified through various genetic modifications, were the most precise observation tools in the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector. On every square millimeter of the retina, there were more than a million cones that were used to perceive light. The sensitivity of their senses was hundreds of times higher than that of ordinary people. They could easily see through the bottomless ocean and observe the environment hundreds of meters below.
When the passengers' brains were connected to the skeleton warship through the synthetic nerves, they would be able to share the vision of all the biochemical eyes and enjoy the magnificent nature.
The Silver Continent lived up to its name. As far as the eye could see, it was a splendid world made of silver.
After flying for more than two hours, they did not see a single demon beast or even a single plant. As far as their eyes could reach, there was nothing but a monotonous desert.
The seemingly glamorous environment was hiding the coldest killing intent.
Because of the weather and the magnetic field, the entire Silver Continent was made of a special kind of sand named 'White Veluriyam Sand'. It was a desert continent, also known as the 'White Veluriyam Death Desert'.
The White Veluriyam Sand was extremely smooth on the surface. It was even more delicate and soft than mercury. When the wind blew, it would form a terrifying quicksand.
On the continent, the environment was changing every second. There was no fixed shape at all. Any creature that touched the White Veluriyam Sand would be drowned in it. In only a few minutes, they would be completely drowned.
On the other hand, the White Veluriyam Sand was extremely reflective and could almost completely reflect sunlight. Not only was it impossible for the White Silver Death Desert to accumulate any energy, but every minute of the day was also illuminated by sunlight from all directions without any blind spots. It was simply a death zone with strong light.
No creature could survive in the White Silver Death Desert. Even the demons, who were known for their tough bodies and adaptability to all kinds of environments, regarded the White Silver Death Desert as a hot and lonely graveyard.
After thousands of years of exploration, they hadn't found any important resources on the Silver Continent. The only thing this continent had was sand that covered the sky and covered the earth.
Therefore, the Pantheon of Demons would rather explore new world fragments at risk than waste precious resources in such a bottomless pit.
A black spot gradually appeared on the horizon. It was the exact opposite of the White Silver Death Desert. It was like a flat black hole that absorbed all the light.
It was the Star Swallowing Sea, the largest lake in the Blood Demon Sector!
To be able to get its name from the word "sea", one could imagine how vast this inland lake was.
In the middle of the barren White Silver Death Desert. The existence of an enormous lake was a weird thing in itself. But the weirdness of the Star Swallowing Sea was not limited to that.
The Star Swallowing Sea was like Void Turmoil City and the Dark Desolate Domain. It boasted an independent microclimate. Dark clouds were everywhere, lightning was flashing, and the tides were tearing apart the sky and the earth.
The water of the Star Swallowing Sea, on the other hand, contained a lot of heavy metals. The lake water was as thick and viscous as ink, and contained a deadly poison.
The entire lake that contained heavy metals triggered the abnormal blast of the magnetic field. Not only did invisible turbulences form above the Star Swallowing Sea, they would also disrupt the magnetic field of the brain of any creature. Any creature that entered the lake would gradually lose their direction and be involved in the invisible turbulences, falling into the Star Swallowing Sea, where they would be buried deep inside the lake.
That was how the Star Swallowing Sea got its name. It was a terrifying lake that could even swallow stars!
In the past, a lot of experts of the demon race had been curious about the environment of the Star Swallowing Sea and conducted large-scale exploration, only to find nothing. In the most serious exploration, more than ten skeleton warships and thousands of warriors were lost.
However much they explored, they failed to find any valuable mother lodes, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, or powerful demon beasts near the Star Swallowing Sea. Even if there were indeed abundant mother lodes at the bottom of the Star Swallowing Sea, the cost of mining them would be astronomical with the technology of the demon race right now. The losses outweighed the gains.
Therefore, since decades ago, the White Silver Death Desert and the Star Swallowing Sea had been in the most primitive state without any traces.
At this moment, the sky-hunting warship of the Blade of Chaos had barged into the most dangerous water of the Blood Demon Sector.
It was not until he entered the lake that Li Yao realized why an inland lake could be called a 'sea'!
Looking back through the biochemical eyes outside of the skeleton warship, the White Silver Death Desert was nothing but a shallow white line, and the boundless lake in front of his eyes was as vast as the ocean that they had crossed the day before.
The black lake seemed to be connected with the clouds in the sky. It was like a bloody mouth that was slowly opening and swallowing them into a bottomless abyss.
BOOM!
BOOM! CRACK!
The lightning pierced into the Star Swallowing Sea from the sky like thousands of tusks in the bloody mouth, raising tides that were each higher than the last. Every tide was like a mountain that rose into the clouds and could swallow the tiny sky-hunting warship easily!
Under the assault of the lightning and the tides, the sky-hunting warship struggled to dash left and right, as if it were moving at a high speed in a deep valley. The tides were the cliffs on the two sides. Even Li Yao could not help but feel nervous.
Very soon, almost a hundred islands appeared in front of them.
Every island was no more than dozens of meters in diameter. They were barren and devoid of any sign of life, like fish that were struggling to survive in a swamp.
Chi!
Right then, deafening noises echoed outside. The tides in the Star Swallowing Sea were getting more and more turbulent. Enormous swirls were forming on the surface of the ocean, giving Li Yao the feeling that the bottom of the lake was full of giant drainage holes, and the water was leaking to the ground!
No. It was not an illusion. It was real!
The Star Swallowing Sea was indeed shrinking at a visible speed. The water level of the lake was lower and lower. The evidence was the islands that were slightly exposed!
A moment ago, only the peaks above the surface of the lake were revealed in the hollows of the swirls. Those islands were all mountains that stood at the bottom of the lake!
The sky-hunting warship sank abruptly and descended into the swirls below the surface of the ocean.
The black lake water around them was like a tall wall that could collapse at any moment and swallow them completely.
Huala!
A few enormous cracks appeared on the abdomen of the sky-hunting warship, from which black cocoons in the shape of spindles were thrown into the depths of the water.
Li Yao knew that they were the special biochemical beasts that were used to explore the terrain at the bottom of the lake.
Yuchi Ba's voice echoed next to his ears through the neural network that was connected to the entire warship. "The greatest feature of the Star Swallowing Sea is that the water level changes regularly every day. During the day, the water level of the lake will drop nonstop, but at night, the water level of the lake will rise crazily, like … breathing!
"Nobody knows where the billions of tons of lake water are leaking to in the time it takes to breathe."
"According to the conclusion of our specialists after analyzing all the files, the entrance to the Mausoleum of Chaos is very likely to be in one of the mountains at the bottom of the lake.
"Usually, the mountains at the bottom of the lake are completely drowned by the Star Swallowing Sea and are hundreds of meters away from the surface of the water. That's why nobody has discovered it for thousands of years.
"Even when the water level of the Star Swallowing Sea is at the lowest, the mountains will only surface in one to two hours!
"Locking onto the mountains at the bottom of the lake will be the key to finding the Mausoleum of Chaos!"
The sky-hunting warship searched quickly hundreds of meters below the surface of the ocean.
Bo! Bo! Bo! Bo!
The monotonous information sent back by the biochemical beasts that crawled into the Star Swallowing Sea gradually formed a complicated map of the mountains at the bottom of the lake.
As the water level of the lake continued to drop, countless mountains at the bottom of the lake were already protruding out of the water. The high, rising mountains were zigzagging deep inside the Star Swallowing Sea like countless dragons.
Right then, Li Yao heard exclamations around him.
As far as his eyes could see, an enormous beast that was more than ten times larger than the sky-hunting warship crawled out of the black lake on their left. The beast looked like a whale that was wearing iron armor and had long tusks. There was no doubt that it could tear the sky-hunting warship into pieces with a yawn!
However, the primeval beast did not have a chance to wreak havoc at all, because it was tied up by a bright gold squid. Every tentacle of the super large squid was thousands of meters long. Some of the tentacles were strangling the bone armor of the enormous beast, crushing it into pieces. The other limbs, on the other hand, pierced deep into the body of the enormous beast and devoured its internal organs and flesh crazily like leeches.
The roars of the two enormous beasts almost drowned out the noises caused by the swirls.
Most of the warriors were so scared that their faces were pale as they watched the two enormous beasts crashing at the sky-hunting warship.
If the sky-hunting warship was truly crushed by them, there would be nothing left of the sky-hunting warship.
"Shua!"
The two enormous beasts, however, were like air. The sky-hunting warship passed through them without being damaged at all!
When they looked back, the two enormous beasts were gradually blurred and disappeared into the depths of the black lake in streaks of brightness.
"Don't panic. This is the information of light and shadow from tens of thousands of years ago, recorded by the special magnetic field inside the Star Swallowing Sea. The two enormous beasts perished tens of thousands of years ago!"
