Chapter 380 - 380: Spirit Realm Power
It was like piercing through a layer of soap bubbles.
With a pop sound, the Desolate Demon Lord bringing the Boshi Tower, passed through the Ten Thousand Devil Abyss and arrived at the realm called the Dead Sea.
A viscous, liquid-like black mist enveloped the Desolate Demon Lord, making him feel like he was walking in water, its every move greatly hindered—this had nothing to do with whether he was an anomaly or not.
What was even more uncomfortable was that the Desolate Demon Lord, wrapped in the black mist, felt its source power and spiritual qi constantly draining away.
Although the speed was not fast, the Dead Sea was already a source power wasteland, and sustaining oneself here without gaining anything was not a long-term solution.
Although this was not his first time here, the environment here still made the Desolate Demon Lord feel immense pressure.
He used conversation to alleviate the oppression in his heart.
“After entering the Dead Sea, it’s like diving into deep water.”
“There’s liquid black mist everywhere.”
“This liquefied black mist has different properties compared to the gaseous black mist.”
“The liquefied black mist has the characteristic of actively absorbing source power while significantly weakening the perception of Transcendent beings. Even if possessed by an anomaly, it can’t resist this effect.”
Just like now, the Desolate Demon Lord’s perception was greatly weakened.
Originally, he could sense the situation within a province with just his five senses, but upon entering the Dead Sea, his perception range was immediately compressed to the level of an ordinary person.
Lu Ming’s voice came from the Boshi Tower, “My perception has also been compressed.”
“Moreover, the energy in the Boshi Tower is also dissipating.”
“But for now, it’s not a big problem.”
The group of Divine Spirit Realm experts in Boshi Tower could serve as the source power batteries for both Boshi Tower and the Desolate Demon Lord.
Although it was still a one-way outflow, holding out for a hundred and eighty years at this place was not a problem.
However, this was also because Lu Ming was special. Moreover, the strength of this team was somewhat out of the ordinary.
If ordinary Transcendent beings ventured deep into this place, the outcome could be easily imagined.
They could hardly explore far before having to return due to power loss or directly perishing here.
“Speaking of which, where did you explore the last time you came here?”
Bai Zhe’s voice sounded from Boshi Tower. The Desolate Demon Lord replied, “I don’t know.”
“How could you not know!?”
“Because there’s no reference here.”
The Desolate Demon Lordr pointed ahead.
And there was nothing ahead.
It was unknown where the name Dead Sea originated.
However, it was indeed very appropriate.
This sea composed of liquefied black mist had nothing and no reference target.
It was like an ocean without a seabed.
Although venturing into this place could still retain the perception of an ordinary person, in the endless and bottomless ocean, who could know how far they had walked? And who could know where they were now?
The Desolate Demon Lord strode forward and slowly swam into the depths of the Dead Sea. As he moved forward, he said, “The last time 1 came, I indeed had the intention to explore this place, but I soon knew that I was thinking too much.”
“The Dead Sea is vast, boundless, and bottomless. Other than the water surface above being a clear reference point, there are no other targets to refer to in any other direction.”
“There’s not even a rock or an island.”
“Other than water, there’s only an anomaly. And anomalies that can move naturally can’t be considered a reference.”
Lost.
This was the only word to describe the state of the Transcendent beings who went deep into the Dead Sea.
It was like an ordinary person being thrown into an endless desert. The dangers within were obvious.
The Desolate Demon Lord muttered as it avoided a dragon-shaped monster.
Just then, Bai Zhe spoke again, “Then how do we find the escape passageway?”
If there was really an escape passageway out of the Black Mist Zone in the Dead Sea, how would they find it in this situation?
The Desolate Demon Lord smiled bitterly, “I don’t know…”
“The last time, my method was to keep swimming downstream. But after swimming for a long, long time, when I was about to lose my sense of direction, 1 still didn’t find the so-called escape passageway.”
In any case, even if there was an escape passageway here, finding it was not an easy task.
Just then, indistinct noises sounded from above.
The Desolate Demon Lord looked up.
One could clearly see that the membrane at the bottom of the Dead Sea and the
Ten Thousand Devil Abyss was faintly trembling.
The commotion caused by Vicky above was getting louder and louder.
Not far from Desolate, the dragon-shaped monster suddenly shook its head and looked at the sea with its five pairs of dragon eyes.
A faint low moan sounded from the dragon-shaped monster’s mouth, causing ripples in the seawater.
Then, it swung its tail and rushed up like a sharp sword.
Not just that.
As the ripples spread farther and further away, more faint sounds rose from the bottom of the sea.
The waves began to surge, and the undercurrents began to churn.
In the turbulent waves, one after another anomaly rushed out of the sea, following the footsteps of the dragon-like anomaly, in an attempt to leave the Dead Sea and kill their prey.
A large number of anomalies stirred the seawater into a turbid mess.
The Desolate Demon Lord did not dare to move at all.
Until Lu Ming’s voice suddenly sounded from within the Boshi Tower.
“Go, let’s go down.”
“Go in the direction these anomalies came from.”
No one knew how the anomalies were born.
But the recent influx of anomalies allowed Lu Ming to vaguely discern a pattern—many of them seemed to be swimming from the same direction.
This made Lu Ming think that there might be something there.
The Desolate Demon Lord nodded when he heard this. He quietly took a step forward and swam towards the depths of the Dead Sea against the tide of anomalies.
Above the Dead Sea, at the bottom of the Ten Thousand Devil Abyss.
Vicky’s eyes were already red from killing.
The densely packed anomalies advanced one after another, devoid of intelligence and without fear. They only had the persistence to hunt and kill prey, and the resolute insistence on not stopping until their goal was achieved.
Vicky could not communicate with these brainless fools.
However, these brainless beings were an unavoidable obstacle when it came to pursuing Lu Ming.
Sensing that Lu Ming and the others had already ventured deep into the Dead Sea, about to leave its perception range, Vicky was both angry and anxious. He could no longer care about hiding his aura but just use his full strength to try to quickly open a passageway downward.
At this moment, Vicky finally revealed the terrifying aspects of a Spirit Realm expert.
Inside his body, more than a thousand Spiritualized Blood Patterns simultaneously emitted light.
A colorful glow covered Vicky’s body, like a close-fitting armor.
This was the power of the Spirit Realm: the Light of Spirit!
When transcendent beings under the Source Power system advanced to the Spirit Realm, the Spiritualized Blood Patterns would grant the transcendent beings the innate ability of the Spirit Realm—the Light of Spirit!
This was a talent that instinctively served as both an offensive and defensive tool, with minimal consumption but tremendous power.
Absolute Defense, Absolute Attack, and Absolute Recovery!
Anyone without the Light of Spirit would absolutely be unable to break through the protection of the Light of Spirit.
Anyone without the Light of Spirit would absolutely not be able to resist the attacks of the Light of Spirit!
As long as the Spiritualized Blood Patterns did not extinguish, the Light of Spirit would not fade, and as long as the Light of Spirit did not fade, the spirit realm would not die!
At this moment, the Light of Spirit pierced through heaven and earth, even rendering the entire Ten Thousand Devil Abyss in colorful hues.
However, the anomalies were not to be underestimated either.
Their characteristics of devouring Source Power and Spiritual Qi could still have an effect on Spirit Realm experts.
The Light of Spirit, which was originally invulnerable, was gradually plundered and disintegrated under the onslaught of the anomalies.
Source Power and Spiritual Qi were also drained away at the same time.
Although the magnitude was small, and the damage to Vicky was relatively weak, it indeed had an effect..
