Just as Li Yue had imagined, the Chief Sovereign of Light, Augusta, had indeed sent his subordinates into the Infernal Realm to search for him.
Unfortunately, he had received the news too late. By this time, Li Yue had already left the Redbud Continent and appeared in the boundless Stellar Sea.
The Infernal Realm had a total of five continents. These five continents formed a circle, and within the circle was the Stellar Sea. It was also known as the Starmist Sea, or simply as the 'internal sea'.
Although it was an internal sea, the Starmist Sea was larger than any of the continents.
Rumble …
The clear, slightly violet waters of the sea rippled. In this boundless Starmist Sea, even if there was no wind, there would still be three-foot-tall waves.
"Swish!"
A dragon-shaped metallic lifeform was charging forward at high speed, breaking through the waves. This dragon-shaped metallic lifeform was nearly a hundred meters long, and at its widest point, it was nearly thirty meters. There was no cover at the top, and the metal on the sides was completely transparent.
Li Yue calmly looked at the scenery on both sides. This was the first time he had entered the Stellar Fog Sea. As far as the eye could see, the lavender seawater stretched as far as the eye could see. It was like a silky thin mist, and cool water vapor was rising.
The metallic lifeform flew close to the surface of the water at high speed. When it first entered, there was no mist, but as time passed, the mist gradually grew thicker and thicker, swirling above the metallic lifeform.
However, the mist was very faint, and didn't obstruct one's vision too much.
From the introduction to the Infernal Realm which Beirut had given him, Li Yue knew that the mist was very dangerous. Upon entering the mist, one would be attacked by lightning, and the deeper one went, the more powerful the lightning would be. Even Highgods wouldn't dare to fly too high.
Because of this, in the depths of the Fog Sea, there was no lack of experts of the Laws of Lightning who would go deep and use the lightning to temper their divine bodies.
As for how effective it would be, one would only know after personally trying it out.
Li Yue wasn't interested in the boundless sea of fog. His current body's toughness had almost reached the level of a Sovereign artifact. Refining his body with lightning was completely useless. There was no need to waste time on it.
The metallic lifeform whistled as it advanced, its speed extremely fast. The wind outside was also extremely strong, and the waves of sea wind were like steel blades slicing through. Just this wind alone was enough to kill any lifeform below the Deity rank.
Beneath the lavender seawater, one could occasionally see large black shadows swimming past. It was unknown what kind of creature they were. Thus, in this sea region, it was best not to fly alone if one was not strong enough. Generally, one would fly a metallic lifeform or travel in groups of three to five.
As time slowly passed, the metallic lifeform ventured deeper and deeper into the sea.
From time to time, there would be howling winds, surging seawater, and thunder and lightning in the sky above the sea of fog.
"The environment is quite bad, much worse than what the introduction said!"
Li Yue frowned. Although he had only encountered such a harsh environment by chance, his mood was not that good.
Originally, he had planned to search the surroundings to see if there were any islands that could be used for cultivation. However, after seeing this scene, he understood that even if there were islands nearby, the good ones would have been occupied by either bandits or experts.
The remaining islands were probably nothing much.
Li Yue naturally wouldn't engage in battle for the sake of a mere island. It wasn't worth it.
"Then, let's change targets. Let's see what the bottom of the sea is like!"
To Deities, there was no difference between the surface of the sea and the bottom of the sea. They could both live there.
Only, the surface of the sea was more in line with the choices of most Deities. As for the bottom of the sea, unless one was an expert of the Laws of Water or a Godbeast, one wouldn't like to live in the water.
Li Yue didn't avoid such taboos.
With a thought, the high-speed metallic lifeform instantly disappeared, collected into his interspatial ring. After doing this, he lowered his head to look below, then dove down, diving into the lavender seawater.
…..
The Bloodridge Continent. Indigo Prefecture. Indigo Prefecture occupied a vast area, with row upon row of buildings. Coming and going, one could see rows of leather-armored soldiers shuttling back and forth.
The Lord Prefect of Indigo Prefecture was Beirut.
He was known as the 'number one figure below the Sovereigns'.
At this moment, within a palace, Beirut was staring at the scryer image in front of him with a strange look on his face. His long beard trembled slightly.
A look of disbelief was on his face.
"This …"
"How could he have become a Paragon in such a short period of time? The King of Killers … can it be … "
The scryer image in front of him was showing Li Yue's battle. Many people had seen it, and Beirut was no exception.
This was his divine darkness clone. Not long ago, it had come to the Infernal Realm from the Yulan continent. Originally, it had been planning to wait for Linley and Bebe, but in the end, it had accidentally heard the news that a Paragon had appeared in the Infernal Realm.
Naturally, it valued this news. Curious, it had watched the scryer image.
"How unexpected!" Within the palace, Beirut stroked his beard, his little eyes narrowed slightly. No one knew what he was thinking.
"I had always thought that he was a genius who had a chance to become a Paragon. But I didn't expect that in just a few hundred years, he would succeed."
This was something completely impossible. It was completely unexpected.
Beirut stared at the scryer image of Li Yue insta-killing Ionick, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Although on the surface, Beirut was just a Lord Prefect, in truth, Beirut was a Sovereign. Unlike others, his insight was naturally extraordinary.
He could tell at a glance that Li Yue's power had indeed reached the Paragon level, but it seemed as though he hadn't used the power of Will.
That sort of feeling … it was as though time had stopped.
"Time naturally can't be stopped. For Ionick to be insta-killed without being able to fight back at all, it should have been because of the power of Will, right?"
He couldn't be certain about this either.
"However, this kid really is quite bold." Beirut stared at Li Yue in the image, then laughed and shook his head. "Although the Sovereign of Fate, Kanur, is just a Lesser Sovereign, a Sovereign is still a Sovereign. In addition, this fellow has a bad temper to begin with, and he cares a lot about face. This time, Li killed his Emissary as well as his descendant. I wonder if this Kanur will intervene or not! "
Generally speaking, Sovereigns wouldn't act against Deities. This was the pride of Sovereigns, as well as their face.
This was what Li Yue had previously believed. He believed that Sovereign Kanur wouldn't act.
But there were exceptions.
Beirut, as a Sovereign, naturally knew that Sovereigns had their own personalities and temperaments. Although the vast majority of Sovereigns were exalted figures who didn't care about worldly affairs, some Sovereigns were different.
For example, the Chief Sovereign of Light. For example, Kanur.
Proud, arrogant, and bad-tempered.
"Although Li has become a Paragon, he is still quite a bit weaker than a Sovereign. In addition, he hasn't just offended a Sovereign; he has also offended that fellow, the Chief Sovereign of Light."
"Since I can see this scryer image, the Chief Sovereign of Light can naturally see it as well. When the time comes … he will definitely send people to hunt him down, or even personally attack!"
"I hope … it isn't the latter."
