Divine Brilliance

Three days later, Zong Shou’s back was drenched in sweat as he walked on a blue ocean with strong waves.

This seventh layer was called Spirit Ocean Death Jail. Looking out, it was made up entirely of blue ocean water.

It made one’s heart feel relaxed, however, the deep blue and pure water contained poison.

Apart from that, not only did this world twist all kinds of laws, when one walked on the ocean surface, one would face thousands or tens of thousands of times more magnetism force.

Not only did his body need to suffer from thousands of times more pressure, even the items within his Heaven and Earth Bag couldn’t avoid it either.

He faced the risk of falling into the ocean at any moment. He also had no place to rest at all.

The restrictions here were different from the last few layers.

It was wind! Bone Scratching Wind. At this moment, it was endless and it didn’t come to a stop.

Not only did it cause wave after wave to rise up from the blue ocean, but it was filled with vast amounts of Yin Power which pierced directly into the bone.

Not only was it not weaker than the pain of the Ice Wheel punishment, but if one couldn’t defend against it, one’s Vital Energy and marrow would be decomposed and destroyed, one’s lifespan would be pillaged.

A day ago, Zong Shou personally witnessed an Intermediate Celestial Realm Cultivator finally lose it within the strong wing and large waves, falling into the ocean.

In just 60 breaths, no corpse or bones remained. There wasn’t even any blood.

Who knows what kind of toxin was in the ocean water, even a Celestial Realm Cultivator couldn’t defend against it.

Zong Shou was exhausted, drenched in sweat. Every 100 miles, he would have to stop to take a breath.

The Yin wind continued, causing his Vital Energy to flow in reverse. It continued on and didn’t stop.

Who knows how long he had to bear with it before it would end?

All the things he could throw away from his Heaven and Earth Bag were already cleared out.

However, his body still felt like there was lead injected into it, making him feel really heavy. At this moment, he was still able to hold on but he really wanted to just dive directly into the ocean water and die.

Actually, it would be much simpler if he used the Blue Fire Xuan Turtle to replace traveling on foot.

However, that would make it inconvenient to teleport and also increase the burden on him.

On the contrary, Lu Wubing was in a much better state than Zong Shou.

His energy flowed smoothly and one couldn’t see any expression on his face. However, his eyes were still filled with worry.

Maybe because he saw that Zong Shou was at his limit, he persuaded, “Why is Ruler doing this? That Extreme Flame Saint Venerable possibly knows where we are. No matter how we rush, it would still be useless. The eighth layer is extremely dangerous, so why don’t we rest up and think about it before making a decision…”

Zong Shou scoffed, his expression was really calm. How would he not know about what Lu Wubing said?

At this moment, an extremely strong Spiritual Sense which made Zong Shou have an urge to bow and kowtow entered his soul.

This was something that made him feel much worse than the magnetism of this world.

It was Extreme Flame!

He was somewhere within the Death Jail. He was coldly looking down at him, without even bothering to hide at all.

However, just the suppression from his Spiritual Sense was tough to bear with.

The person seemed to not want to attack him but was rather just looking down from above with a playing and mocking intent.

It gave one a feeling like a noble King looking at a rat dashing in front of him.

Just a little rat that made him feel slightly interested…

There was no killing intent and he didn’t retract his Soul Suppression. He brought with it a bone-chilling coldness that suppressed quietly. It was nearly too much for him to hold on.

Maybe this person was waiting to see how he would collapse, how he would fall into the ocean to have his corpse and soul dissolve like the previous person.

There was also a majestic aura that wanted to make him bow and worship him.

That intent seemed to be speaking to him, asking him to admit his mistakes and then he would be let off.

“No worries!”

He took in a deep breath and then he laughed out loud.

Maybe he was already used to it or maybe because he was a little distracted. The pain of that Marrow Burning Blood Spirit Curse and Vital Energy reverse flow pain wasn’t able to affect him anymore.

Under this suppression, an unprecedented violent aura rose up in his chest.

For some reason, he wasn’t willing to lose face in front of that person and be treated as a joke.

He didn’t know that he was actually so stubborn all the way to his bones. To say it nicely, he was stubborn but to put it bluntly he overestimated his own ability…

However, since he was already in such a desperate situation, then why would he need to lower his head to this person?

He seemingly sensed Zong Shou’s thoughts as the End Realm suppression became stronger.

Zong Shou’s body shook as he stumbled and nearly fell into the ocean.

A moment later, he was barely able to hold himself up.

Lu Wubing who was to the side didn’t sense anything, but his eyes were filled with shock.

Why did he have to go to such an extent?

He also knew that there was something up with Zong Shou’s body. He was most probably affected by the Marrow Burning Blood Spirit Curse. However, with his deep foundations, how could he reach such a level when his body was about to collapse?

Zong Shou didn’t worry. When the pressure was added, his bones and joints crackled. His soul was nearly shattered, but he still continued to hold on.

He resisted the huge pressure and stepped out.

The area in front of him changed. Looking into the distance, he could see a giant whirlpool spinning and spreading thousands of miles away.

There was an intense storm all around, numerous lightning bolts flashed in the storm.

“Is this the Nether Jail Gate you mentioned?”

The seventh layer was the Spirit Ocean Death Jail which had two entrances.

The seventh layer to the eighth layer had only one spot, its position also did not shift.

It was in the middle of the Spirit Ocean.

With Zong Shou’s Star Dao Seed, Instant Space ability, he still took three days to rush here.

Just as he felt that he was unable to hold on, he finally saw the entrance to the eighth layer.

Lu Wubing didn’t reply, his expression dimming slightly.

Zong Shou understood and knew that he was most probably feeling sad about the death of his parents.

He thought about it for a moment and said flatly, “You can remain here and there is no need to follow! If I die, you can fight for your own future. If I can break free, I will go all out to get you out of here!”

After he said this, he threw out a jade plate.

It was the space treasure he got that day in Cangling World.

It was slightly stronger than the Lingjie Ring but it was much weaker than the Juntian Armor he got from that God Realm Cultivator.

However, at this moment, hundreds of Celestial Realm Cultivators hid within.

They were temporarily sealed up and hidden within this Zhanyu Plate.

The Celestial Realm Cultivators within needed to be suppressed time after time. Once he entered the eighth layer, Zong Shou might not have had time to fully take care of it.

Thus, he handed it to Lu Wubing, with his infinitely close to God Realm Cultivation, he would definitely be fine.

Lu Wubing was stunned and knew that it was most probably because his cultivation wasn’t enough. If he followed he would just be a burden.

Thus, he didn’t object and took the plate.

“I understand! I won’t let Ruler down!”
