  Yan Zhaoge said, “Since he gave up on this chance, it means that in having joined hands with the other experts on the side of Evil, it was only just a means with which to conceal his true target.”

  “At any moment, at any time, improving himself would be the most important and the most pressing concern.”

  “If there was a heaven-defying piece of fortune which Lin Qiancheng understood and others grasped less well, he would definitely think of a way to obtain this fortune, increasing his own strength.”

  At this point, the others gradually came to a realisation, “Bewildering Maze Sea!”

  Yan Zhaoge nodded, “That’s right, it is precisely the Bewildering Maze Sea. Last time, his plans were spoilt by Chief Yan of Myriad Sword Pool and I. This time, with Nian Chen finding trouble with me and Water Crystal Palace along with Myriad Sword Pool in a great battle against the Dragon Slayer Sect and Soul Shocking Island, there is really no one who can interfere with him.”

  “Now would be the most suitable time for him to head to the Bewildering Mist Sea for the obtaining of treasures. It would be simple with the hopes of it being great as well. Having obtained the treasures and obtained the corresponding practical benefits, his strength would rise and such an accumulation over time would be advantageous to him in battling against others in the future.”

  While Yan Zhaoge’s expression was very calm, ripples arose in the hearts of everyone else.

  The Evil Saint Lin Qiancheng was likely going to fail this time.

  Not only had Yan Zhaoge directly determined Lin Qiancheng’s movements, after having taken care of Nian Chen and the others, he had immediately began hurrying over to the Bewildering Mist Sea without rest.

  At the same time, the previous battle between him and Nian Chen had not taken up too much time.

  This was related to Yan Zhaoge’s personal style. He was tyrannical and domineering in his actions. Even faced against opponents whose strength was similar to his, he would also generally decide it within a short period of time, determining who lived and who died.

  Victory and defeat would generally be determined in an instant. Once the momentum of victory had been established, he would immediately break through the opponent’s defences, seldom ending up in protracted battle.

  While it appeared casual, only he himself could clearly know how dangerous it was.

  Therefore, in acting against someone, Yan Zhaoge would almost always leave the opponent injured if not dead.

  This kind of martial arts style was not stable enough. However, when faced against inferior opponents, it would be more clean and straightforward as the opponent would easily be suppressed.

  It was not that Yan Zhaoge could not fight patiently in an intricate manner. However, his personality was such that he did not like that kind of gradual, stable battle, therefore seldom employing such.

  When Yan Zhaoge’s group neared the Bewildering Maze Sea, some martial practitioners around the area reflected how abnormalities had appeared within it.

  At this point, everyone simultaneously sighed in relief.

  Yan Zhaoge’s judgement had been right.

  “This somehow feels like the qi of true dragons?” Looking at the multiple layers of bewildering mist of the Bewildering Maze Sea, Yan Zhaoge saw that they were roiling unceasingly, some of the clouds gradually turning ethereal as they emanated a majestic air of authority.

  The essence qi of the ice dragon in the acupoints of Yan Zhaoge’s body that had not been completely refined seemed to have been simulated at this moment, vaguely being drawn by the existence ahead of them.

  “This Yan will enter deep within. You can surround the outskirts of the area. The matter this day might be a decisive one for Lin Qiancheng. The underlings of his Sacred Evil Sect that seldom appear in the outside world may all be coming out into the open this time.”

  The other martial practitioners of Good who had accompanied Yan Zhaoge here agreed deeply with this.

  Yan Zhaoge looked at Xu Fei and Shi Jun who both nodded towards him. He then brought along the Northern Ocean Clone in directly entering the mist of the Bewildering Maze Sea.

  The bewildering mist ahead of Yan Zhaoge was even denser than the first time he had come to the Bewildering Mist Sea upon his arrival in the Vast Ocean World.

  Entering its depths, the mist grew thicker and thicker, the roars of dragons vaguely resounding from within.

  As Yan Zhaoge proceeded ahead, he could only feel as though countless true dragons lay amidst the dense mist ahead.

  “Hmmm, could it be that the fortune this Lin Qiancheng is searching for is the legendary burial ground of numerous dragons entering the sea?” Yan Zhaoge guessed as he saw this.

  The memory fragment of the beam of the Divine Palace had recorded how that black-clothed man had not returned upon his departure, his whereabouts unknown.

  It was unclear whether he had returned to the World beyond Worlds due to some urgent matter or if he had met his end here in the Vast Ocean World.

  However, Yan Zhaoge had previously feigned nonchalance in asking the Vast Ocean World martial practitioners about this. They had generally reflected that they had not heard of that man before.

  It was only to be expected that the black-clothed man had concealed himself in doing what he had set out to do. If he had died in the Vast Ocean World, he should have died in some mysterious land that others were unable to easily reach rather than in some area of the outside world.

  This burial ground of numerous dragons entering the sea was the most possible location for this.

  In the Vast Ocean World, from a material perspective, Yan Zhaoge was the most interested in this legendary place.

  Progressing onwards, the Northern Ocean Clone’s gaze abruptly flashed before it brought Yan Zhaoge along in directly shooting away.

  The mist was instantly ripped apart, the space completely empty within.

  However, the Northern Ocean World directly punched out towards the air.

  The mist there distorted abruptly, seemingly being dyed by a layer of ink before it transformed into a black shadow.

  It was shockingly the Evil Saint, Lin Qiancheng!

  The Northern Ocean Clone’s fist had yet to make contact when Lin Qiancheng’s figure swayed slightly, the wind swooshing by.

  Yan Zhaoge said quietly, “Today is the eleventh of this month. You are currently amidst your period of weakness. We are foe rather than friend, so I’ll be politely kicking you when you’re down. Thank you, thank you.”

  HSSB549: The dragon gate opens!

  Yan Zhaoge’s Northern Ocean Clone expanded his arms, a Heaven Suspending Cloud of the Northern Ocean Divine Spear stabbing over towards Lin Qiancheng.

  The spear forged of the spine and the white bone essence qi of the Chief of the Evil Shifting Sect, Feng Jingsheng, was not a real weapon at the end of the day, only having been temporary.

  However, substituting the spear with the fists and incorporating spear arts into fist arts, majestic might and authority was contained within his attacks as well.

  Lin Qiancheng cultivated in the Illusory Shadow Devilish Art, head-on attacks not being his forte. Currently being within a weakened state, he was even more unable to stand against the Northern Ocean Divine Spear.

  Where the tip of the spear surged, Lin Qiancheng’s body that resembled a black shadow instantly swayed like water as he seemed about to be ripped apart.

  He dared not continue to linger, transforming into numerous black aftershadows which shot into the distance, escaping towards the depths of the Bewildering Maze Sea.

  Yan Zhaoge’s eyes narrowed momentarily into slits. He did not halt, controlling the Northern Ocean Clone to give chase.

  Even as his peak, comparing pure speed alone, Lin Qiancheng would still not be the Northern Ocean Clone’s match.

  Therefore, while he could flee, there was no way at all for him to avoid Yan Zhaoge’s pu
rsuit.

  However, Lin Qiancheng seemed to be holding some kind of special treasure. Every time Yan Zhaoge and the Northern Ocean Clone were too close to him, light would flicker within his hand.

  Yan Zhaoge focused on it. It seemed to be an orb.

  This orb resembled the eye of a dragon. Every time it flickered, the roiling cloud qi of the surroundings would become much more condensed, manifesting in the form of a true dragon as it assisted Lin Qiancheng in obstructing Yan Zhaoge.

  It was like the mystical addition of eyes by an artist to a dragon.

  As the dragon eye flickered, the surrounding qi of true dragons grew denser as well as more condensed.

  Having been dissipated by the Northern Ocean Clone, it would reform into bewildering mist. However, as the dragon eye within Lin Qiancheng’s hand again flickered, the surrounding clouds would begin to congregate once more.

  Just like this, with the aid of that treasure, Lian Qiancheng stumbled along, finally fleeing into the innermost area of the Bewildering Mist Sea.

  According to the common knowledge of the Vast Ocean World, even Martial Saints were very cautious about coming here, seldom entering within.

  Yan Zhaoge did not hesitate as he along with the Northern Ocean Clone pursued Lin Qiancheng closely into this dangerous area where extremely few people ever ventured.

  Here, he felt the qi of true dragons to be even denser, as though there really was an elusive true dragon concealed somewhere amidst all these surrounding clouds.

  Yan Zhaoge seemed to be considering something before he saw the black shadow that enveloped Lin Qiancheng plummeting straight down into the great sea.

  The Northern Ocean Clone punched downwards, splitting the seawater apart. Below existed a deep sea abyss whose depth seemed unfathomable.

  Lin Qiancheng’s figure merged within, gradually vanishing.

  However, the Northern Ocean Clone brought Yan Zhaoge along in going after him in hot pursuit, forever keeping his gaze fixed firmly on him.

  Lin Qiancheng gazed back at Yan Zhaoge. He brought his palms apart, striking out into the distance. He did not launch an attack towards his pursuers, instead shocking the surrounding deep abyss.

  Within the deep abyss, a large amount of black qi instantly emerged, actually resembling numerous vicious dragons as they assaulted towards Yan Zhaoge and the Northern Ocean Clone.

  With a single glance at this black qi, Yan Zhaoge recognised it as the flourishing essence qi of life having been reversed and transformed into death qi. The level at which the life force had flourished prior to death corresponded to how heavy this death qi was now as it caused one to feel virtually suffocated.

  The majestic death qi seemed to want to devour all lifeforms that entered this place, leading them along into death as they remained here forever.

  Yan Zhaoge thought, “No wonder this is a great danger ground, few people ever venturing within.”

  Previously, no one had been able to explain the origins of this death qi. Yan Zhaoge, however, was now aware of it. This greatly flourishing death qi likely originated from that burial ground of numerous dragons.

  Dragons, possessing extremely strong qi and blood at birth, with even their young possessing an extremely powerful physique and life force.

  A majestic death qi might already be produced when any dragon died, let alone a burial ground of many.

  Having arrived here, Lin Qiancheng instead resembled a fish in water as originally having been amidst a weakened state, his power actually seemed to be gradually recovering.

  Yan Zhaoge knew that this was because the Illusory Shadow Demonic Art was proficient in stealing the essence qi of living beings.

  While this was dense death qi, it had all been converted over from the essence qi of lifeforms. Lin Qiancheng could absorb the death qi into his body within a short period of time, instead gaining a boost in strength.

  Yan Zhaoge’s expression was unchanging as the Northern Ocean Clone’s arms shook, breaking through the black qi that resembled numerous vicious dragons before continuing to shoot towards Lin Qiancheng.

  Lin Qiancheng struck out with a palm behind him, forcibly clashing with the fist of the Northern Ocean Clone!

  As the two Martial Saints clashed, violent streams of qi instantly expanded into the surrounding area, actually dispelling all the black qi within the deep abyss as a true vacuum appeared within.

  Both sides expended all their strength, the Illusory Shadow Demonic Art against the Northern Ocean Divine Spear.

  The Northern Ocean Clone’s right hand that seemed formed of jade now completely lost its lustre and moisture, seemingly turning shrivelled and dry, skinny and decrepit, resembling a dry corpse.

  Meanwhile, while Lin Qiancheng’s right arm had transformed into a blurry, indistinct shadow in working hard to dissipate the powerful force of the Northern Ocean Divine Spear, it still finally exploded before completely breaking apart!

  That single exchange had seen great intensity!

  The Northern Ocean Clone inhaled deeply, circulating his profound art in silence as his true essence circulated. While his right hand still remained shrivelled, some blood as well as bulk had returned to it.

  Seeing this, Lin Qiancheng snorted, turning and fleeing once again towards the bottom of the deep abyss down below.

  Yan Zhaoge and the Northern Ocean Clone pursued him without rest.

  Both sides clashed numerous times. As they progressed downwards, the surrounding death qi grew denser and denser such that even Lin Qiancheng dared not to absorb it lightly lest he die at any moment.

  As they travelled, Lin Qiancheng suddenly halted.

  Then, he suddenly raised his hand, light flickering amidst the all-encompassing black qi.

  It was none other than that dragon eye.

  Yan Zhaoge’s heart grew cold before he saw that black qi converging madly towards that dragon eye before finally transforming into a massive black dragon.

  While the black dragon only had one eye, at this moment, it was like a true dragon had revived.

  Its terrifying authoritative might enveloped the heavens and covered the earth as it assaulted over, causing one’s heart to palpitate. It was not inferior at all to Nian Chen wielding the Nine Dragon Fingers.

  However, the worst was yet to come.

  Lin Qiancheng continuously flung outwards, eight more dragon eyes flying out before guiding along the majestic death qi in the deep abyss and transforming into eight more massive black dragons!

  A total of nine one-eyed black dragons roared frenziedly, intermingled together as they sealed off the entire deep abyss.

  Yan Zhaoge, the Northern Ocean Clone and Lin Qiancheng were all locked down by those nine powerful black dragons.

  In just an instant, Yan Zhaoge could feel his life essence currently in the midst of disappearing.

  He looked over, seeing that the bottom halves of the nine black dragons were concealed amidst the deep abyss down below, seeming as though they were connected to something.

  Amidst the darkness of the deep abyss, light actually flickered before gradually forming a tightly shut great gate.

  As these nine black dragons coiled, their tails held onto the great gate, attempting to pull it apart!

  The power through which the gate was being forced open clearly originated from the life essence of Yan Zhaoge, the Northern Ocean Clone and Lin Qiancheng.

  “Sacrificial ritual?” Looking at Lin Qiancheng, Yan Zhaoge saw that he was circulating the Illusory Shadow Demonic Art to the maximum, his entire person resembling a floating shadow that did not exist in this world.

  Like this, the nine one-eyed black dragons momentarily overlooked Lin Qiancheng a little in devouring the life essence of living beings as they instead primarily targeted Yan Zhaoge and his Northern Ocean Clone.

  Being a Martial Saint with extremely flourishing life force, the Northern Ocean Clone especially became their primary target.

  From that illusory dark shadow resounded Lin Qi
ancheng’s ethereal voice, “The opening of this legendary dragon gate requires immense life force to be sacrificed. Martial Saints are required.”

  “I myself would be unable to open the gate. I was specifically waiting for some smart aleck to come along over. It could be Zhao Zhong, it could be Lin Shi or it could also be you.”

  Yan Zhaoge said, “No need to be polite. Like you said, I too wouldn’t have been able to open the gate on my own.”

  HSSB550: Claiming his life when he is enfeebled

  The roars of dragons reverberated unceasingly within the deep abyss. However, they were no longer majestic and stately, authoritative and vigorous, instead being filled with a violent killing intent.

  The nine one-eyed black dragons locked down the surrounding space together, unceasingly devouring all life force within the deep abyss apart from the death qi.

  Their massive dragon bodies whose length could be calculated in miles were drawn taut as this moment, their tails leaning against the massive gate down below as they pulled with all their might.

  As the nine dragons opened the gate, the great gate shook unceasingly.

  When the radiance was no longer too dazzling to look at, gazing over carefully, it was clearly apparent that that great gate was formed of bright white bones, all looking to be dragon bones.

  Absorbing the life essence of living beings, the dragon gate that was dense with death qi seemed to have been given a new lease of life as it gradually showed signs of opening.

  However, wanting to completely open this massive dragon gate would require copious amounts of life essence.

  Yan Zhaoge could feel that the life essence of his Northern Ocean Clone was currently flowing away unceasingly.

  Lin Qiancheng’s entire body had transformed into a faint shadow amidst the dense darkness of the deep abyss, virtually being unable to detect.

  His voice seemed to resound from every single corner, “I believed that there would definitely be some smart guy who was able to determine that I had come to the Bewildering Maze Sea, attempting to locate the dragon tomb.”
