Chapter 383: A Boat in the Sea of Blood (Part I)
All the classics related to the underworld only record the environment of the underworld, the unique natural treasures, the powerful ghosts and monsters native to the underworld, etc., but no one has ever recorded how big the underworld is. From the moment he felt the existence of the two mirrors of heaven and earth in the town, and used this to determine the location of the underworld, Xu Changqing had been on the road for a long time, and it had been almost a month since he converted it into the time of the human world. Along the way, he barely took a break, and Fenris was also running at full speed, no slower than his flying method, and the road he traveled added up to tens of thousands of miles. But even so, he still did not reach Hades, as if when he was approaching Hades, Hades was also moving away at the same speed, and in the end the distance between the two did not change at all.
Xu Changqing didn't feel that he had fallen into some kind of formation seal, but his divine thoughts did not feel any formation-related power appear. Just when he felt a little distraught, the seemingly endless barren mountains and hollow valleys had come to an end, and after passing through a canyon, the scene suddenly opened up in front of him, and at the same time he stopped moving forward. The reason why this is so is not that there are some fierce gods and evil ghosts blocking the way in front, but that there is no way ahead, and a boundless sea of blood is blocking the front.
Although there was an extremely thick Yin Death Qi and countless resentful qi entrenched above the Blood Sea, making the surrounding aura chaotic, Xu Changqing could still feel that a large number of whirlpools formed by the power of reincarnation were hidden in the Blood Sea. The power of these whirlpools was so strong that it could almost swallow a qiē, and even he wasn't sure if his body would be able to withstand the tearing of these reincarnation whirlpools.
Fenris also seemed to feel the power of reincarnation contained in the sea of blood, and felt a little scared, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly, if he hadn't gotten Xu Changqing's permission, he was afraid that he would have run back from the canyon a long time ago. Fenris's fear of the power of reincarnation was also transmitted to Xu Changqing's mind, he patted the wolf on the back to calm Fenris's mind, and then took out the human mirror from the chaos bead, and injected his divine thoughts into the human mirror again, looking for the location of the two mirrors of heaven and earth.
"Huh!" Xu Changqing's face suddenly flashed with a hint of surprise, because he clearly felt through the human mirror that the second mirror of heaven and earth was actually in the sea of blood in front of him. At this moment, the immortal qi on the mirror suddenly injected into the four human head reliefs representing joy, anger and sorrow around the mirror, and a light rushed out of the mirror and entered the sea of blood. Immediately afterwards, I saw the sea of blood in front of me like stagnant water churning waves, and a wooden boat that looked very dilapidated floated up from the sea of blood, and under the traction of the mirror light, it staggered to the shore not far away.
After the wooden boat docked, the light of the mirror dissipated, and the only trace of immortal energy in the mirror also dissipated, and at the same time, Xu Changqing could no longer feel the location of the two mirrors of heaven and earth. Looking at the person who had lost any effect in his hand, Jing Changqing's brows furrowed slightly, and his face became gloomy, and then he looked at the wooden boat in front of him for a long time, as if he was hesitating whether he should get on the boat and enter the sea of blood. After thinking about it repeatedly, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and he reached out to pat Fenris, motioning to get on the boat, but in his opinion, it was better to fight than to be alone in this lifeless dead place.
Sensing Xu Changqing's decision, Fenris also suppressed the fear of the sea of blood in his heart, and jumped onto the wooden boat with Xu Changqing on his shoulder. As soon as they landed on the deck, the wooden boat moved on its own and slowly headed for the middle of the sea of blood.
Although when making the decision, Xu Changqing was still a little afraid and afraid in his heart, but after the ship started, all the abnormalities in his heart disappeared and became extraordinarily calm. Perhaps under the influence of Xu Changqing's mind, Fenris no longer seemed scared, and stood quietly on the deck, the power on his body forming a shield to protect Xu Changqing and it.
The wooden boat staggered to a distance of more than a few miles from the shore, and suddenly a huge suction force came from under the hull, dragging the wooden boat into the sea of blood. The surrounding sea water squeezed Fenris's shield like a mountain, and at the same time, the yin death qi and boundless resentment in the sea water also adhered to it, quickly corroding the power on the surface of the shield.
Just as Fenris exerted his strength to block the attack of the Blood Sea, Xu Changqing's attention was focused on the direction in which the wooden ship was traveling. He found that the force that pulled the wooden boat actually came from a huge whirlpool formed by the power of reincarnation, and it was precisely because of this power that the wooden boat rushed straight towards the whirlpool of reincarnation.
As the ship got closer and closer to the reincarnation vortex, the power on the Fenris shield was also consumed faster and faster, and with the erosion of various forces in the surrounding sea of blood, it was difficult for the shield to support it. At this time, Xu Changqing felt through his mind that Fenris seemed to be ready to use his Divine Soul Origin Power when he was exhausted, using himself as the source, and turning into a shield to protect Xu Changqing. After feeling Fenris's decision, Xu Changqing's heart suddenly swelled up with an inexplicable warmth, and at the same time, his physical body had an impulse that affected his Dao heart, making him can't help but restrain Fenris in his mind and prevent it from using the Divine Soul Origin. Then the strange primordial god who couldn't be driven by him actually gushed out a stream of fairy qi, which was injected into the Chaos Bead, emitting a suction force and containing Fenris.
After losing the power of Fenris, the outer shield immediately shattered, and the sea of blood and sea water squeezed over, impacting Xu Changqing's body. The clothes on his body were instantly corroded into ashes by the seawater, and all kinds of corrosive forces in the sea water stuck to his body, as if they wanted to melt him in the sea of blood.
However, Xu Changqing's physical strength far exceeded his own estimates, and these powers that were enough to kill immortals and Buddhas could not even hurt the skin of his physical body, at best, they could only make him feel a little sore. After discovering that the ordinary power in the sea of blood could not harm his own flesh, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the heart he had just lifted was also half relaxed, and while focusing on the reincarnation vortex he was about to enter, he couldn't help but start thinking back to what had just happened.
According to Xu Changqing's code of conduct, he would never put his body in danger for the sake of one of his incarnations. Perhaps after Fenris uses the Divine Soul Origin, there is a high probability that his soul will be lost, but compared to his own safety, this is obviously a little insignificant. However, the instincts of his body affected his mind and caused him to do things that violated his code of conduct, and in this case, he could even use the immortal qi of the Yuan Shen, which seemed very strange.
Xu Changqing felt that the reason why he did something that he had never done before was not because of the control of some unknown force, but more like he was acting according to his heart. At that moment, his original heart completely suppressed the absolutely calm Dao heart, thus doing this kind of thing that went against his own code of conduct, and at the same time, the original spirit also seemed to follow the will of his original heart and was driven by it
