Chapter 1379: One of the Realm Seas
In the Realm of Remote Heaven.
Human starships that were deployed here burst into flames and exploded one after another.
A mighty Bonebrute that was as large as a lofty mountain peak flew into the midst of the human starships.
It was Grand Monarch Pale Bones.
As he swung his huge arms, misty gray death power was stimulated by his bloodline talent and rapidly enveloped the entire area.
On the starships, those with low cultivation bases felt as if their seas of awareness were engulfed in a sea of death.
Their glittering eyes instantly grew dim and lifeless. Tainted with death power, their skin became pale-gray and shriveled, like the skin of corpses that had been left in the sun for ages.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
A large number of Bonebrutes swarmed over under Pergson’s command, and started killing Void and Saint domain humans.
Gutas of the Demons suddenly stepped out of a portal. “It’s nice to see you again, Pergson.”
Immediately afterwards, Grand Monarch Blood Axe and Grand Monarch Illusory Demon of the Demons, along with a large number of ninth grade Demon grand patriarchs, streamed through the portal.
Upon arriving, the invading outsiders snorted and muttered derisively, “The Realm of Remote Heaven...”
A fierce battle instantly broke out.
In a place not far from them, Han Wanrong from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace suddenly let out an agonized scream.
SPLASH! SPLASH!
With his huge pale-white bone arm, Grand Monarch Pale Bones casually stirred her water domain, giving rise to loud splashes.
Soon, death power shot out of Grand Monarch Pale Bones’ fingertips, and sliced Han Wanrong’s water domain like sharp blades.
Grand Monarch Pale Bones then pointed his huge palm at Han Wanrong in her mangled domain. “Go to hell!”
A cluster of strange devilish flames suddenly appeared, and flew into Han Wanrong’s water domain, right before it disappeared into her sea of awareness.
FIZZ! FIZZ!
Gruesome white flames could be seen burning in Han Wanrong’s eyes, as if her sea of awareness was burning.
It wasn’t long before her soul was burned away.
Just like that, the late Saint domain Han Wanrong, who was one of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s twelve elders, perished.
“Spread out and take the Realm of Remote Heaven.”
In other locations, Grand Monarch Dark Nether of the Phantasms and Grand Monarch Nether Channeler of the Fiends led their clansmen to attack the parts where the Five Elements Sect, the Void Spirit Society, and the Heaven Span Pavilion had set up defenses.
No one had expected that the outsiders would quietly appear here after retreating from the Realm of Maelstrom.
The Realm of Remote Heaven was easily overwhelmed and fell.
...
In the Void Spirit Society.
“Vice Sectmaster!” Fan Wen exclaimed, looking anxious. “There seems to be something wrong with our teleportation portal in the Realm of Remote Heaven, as it’s no longer accessible. We don’t know what happened there. Also, I just contacted the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, the Heaven Span Pavilion, and the Five Elements Sect. And they’re all experiencing the same thing.”
Xuan Guangyu, who was spinning the Magic Gold Mirror, went blank for a brief moment before asking, “The Realm of Remote Heaven?”
“Yes! The Realm of Remote Heaven!” Fan Wen answered.
After pondering for a while, Xuan Guangyu said, “The Realm of Remote Heaven is rather special. Given my cultivation base, it’s going to be hard for me to break the spatial barrier and get there directly. I can only teleport to a nearby location, and then travel to the Realm of Remote Heaven from there to see what’s happening.”
Fan Wen bowed and said, “Please do that and find out what’s going on as soon as possible, Vice Sectmaster. The other sects are waiting for information from us.”
“Alright.” Xuan Guangyu rose to his feet and started casting a spell.
...
At the Seven-star Blue Sea.
Figures were floating high above the sea and looking down with grim expressions.
Those that the five major sects and three major clans of the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries had stationed here looked nervously at them, so much so that they didn’t even dare to breathe loudly. In very low voices, they explained the strange things that had appeared in the sea to them.
Nie Tian was floating in the blue sea, still surrounded by his Primal Chaos.
The twisting and ripping energies were still slowly spinning around him as he floated motionlessly at the sea floor.
No one knew why Nie Tian had been attracted by a mysterious force and suddenly appeared in the Seven-star Blue Sea.
What was more surprising was that he was accumulating power at an incredible speed.
“He seems to have stabilized his middle Void domain cultivation base,” Yu Suying whispered.
Frowning, Ye Wenhan turned to look at Ji Yuanquan and Pei Qiqi. “Do you know what’s going on? Why did a mysterious connection suddenly form between Nie Tian and this sea, and why was he suddenly dragged here?
“Also, I heard that those Stone Golems that showed up in the Shatter Battlefield first appeared here.
“Are there secret tunnels at the bottom of the Seven-star Blue Sea that connect to some special realms?
“If there are, where do they connect to?”
Not just Ye Wenhan, but all of the other Saint domain experts that had come here from the Realm of Maelstrom showed strong interest in these questions.
Patriarch Pure Heaven and many other powerful experts from the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries had also rushed to the Seven-star Blue Sea upon receiving word of what had happened. Staring down at the sea, they also didn’t know what to do.
“This is a Realm Sea,” Zhao Shanling suddenly said.
Ye Wenhan’s expression flickered. “Realm Sea?”
“The Seven-star Blue Sea down there has absorbed a large number of outsider grand patriarchs’ flesh aura seas and human experts’ broken domains,” Zhao Shanling explained. “I came to derive enlightenment from this mysterious sea before, but failed due to my low cultivation base.”
With these words, he turned to Ji Yuanquan and Pei Qiqi. “Your sect should understand the wonders of Realm Seas better than anyone.”
He had learned everything he knew about Realm Seas from the Voidspirit Pagoda, whose original owner was Qu Feng, Qu Yi’s son.
Since both Pei Qiqi and Ji Yuanquan were from the Void Spirit Society, they should know more about the Realm Seas’ unique features, and why they existed in the first place.
“Are you sure that this is a Realm Sea?” Ye Wenhan wanted to make sure.
Apparently, this senior member of the Heaven Span Pavilion had heard about Realm Seas.
However, since he wasn’t well-versed in spatial power, he couldn’t tell that the Seven-star Blue Sea below was one of them.
Only after hesitating for a long while did Ji Yuanquan give an affirmative answer. “According to our sect’s records, the Seven-star Blue Sea in the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries is indeed one of the Realm Seas. In our history, several of our sectmasters and powerful God domain experts have entered this Realm Sea in an attempt to find the truth about it.”
With these words, he sighed. “However, none of them were able to uncover its secrets.”
Those who had lived their whole lives in the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries and had come to explore the Seven-star Blue Sea many times, including Patriarch Pure Heaven, were dumbstruck.
“Realm Sea?”
This seemed to be the first time they had ever heard that the Seven-star Blue Sea was something called a Realm Sea, and that it wasn’t the only one.
Seeing the baffled expressions on everyone’s faces, Ye Wenhan took the initiative to explain, “It’s hard to say how Realm Seas have come to form, and what wonders they hold. We just need to know one thing.”
Curious, Xie Qian asked, “What is it?”
“A Realm Sea is usually a bridge that connects two realms,” Ye Wenhan said.
“Connects two realms?”
“Or you can say two heaven and earths.” Ye Wenhan tried to explain with the simplest words possible. “Like our realms, outsiders’ realms, and Ancientspirits’ realms, they can all be connected through Realm Seas.”
After hearing these words, all those who hadn’t heard about Realm Seas felt suddenly enlightened.
“If that’s the case, what about the Dead Star Sea?” Dong Li asked.
Pei Qiqi nodded. “That’s right. The Dead Star Sea is a Realm Sea as well. It’s a bridge that connects our world and the outsider world. If we don’t use teleportation portals or spatial tunnels, we’ll have to cross the Dead Star Sea in order to reach the outsider world, which is actually where the human race was first born.
“It’s just that this is the part of the starry river where we derived the methods through which we could practice cultivation with the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. Gradually, we grew stronger here, and gained the ability to stand up to the outsiders.
“As time passed, we even forgot that the ‘outsider world’ was in fact our ancestral land.”
Taken aback, Dong Li said, “I can understand if you call the Dead Star Sea a Realm Sea because it connects the human world and the outsider world. Also, it’s incomparably vast and filled with countless dead realms and broken meteors, which makes it hard for even ancient starships to sail through it. But what qualifies the Seven-star Blue Sea as a Realm Sea?”
The azure sea surrounded by seven dead stars didn’t even take up a large area of the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries.
However, the Dead Star Sea was at least ten times vaster than the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries. The Seven-star Blue Sea was to the Dead Star Sea like a rock was to a mountain peak.
Did such a sea deserve to be called a Realm Sea? Did it really connect to another heaven and earth?
Dong Li found this hard to believe.
Assuming a serious face, Ji Yuanquan said, “Realm Seas are full of mysteries. Even our sectmasters of different generations didn’t dare to say that they had uncovered their mysteries. Also, don’t underestimate the Seven-star Blue Sea. Since it’s defined as a Realm Sea, it means it can connect to another heaven and earth.”
“Those Stone Golems came from the bottom of the Seven-star Blue Sea,” Patriarch Pure Heaven said.
“See?” Ji Yuanquan said, raising his voice slightly, “The Stone Golems were gone for hundreds of thousands of years. We all thought they had died out. Who would have thought that some of them would walk out of the bottom of the Seven-star Blue Sea? You should know that it was a great era-changing war that killed the majority of the Stone Golems.
“Right before that war, they sent a handful of their clansmen to explore a newly found area. They might have entered the Seven-star Blue Sea from there.
“Back then, we weren’t the masters of this part of the starry river yet. Instead, it was the outsiders and Ancientspirits that ruled here.”
Many powerful experts couldn’t help but marvel as they heard Pei Qiqi, Ji Yuanquan, and Ye Wenhan explain the wonders of the Seven-star Blue Sea.
Ye Wenhan took a deep breath and said, “Through a Realm Sea, one might be able to find a brand new heaven and earth. As you must have heard, all of our late God domain experts are away on trips. Many late tenth grade outsider grand monarchs seem to have disappeared recently as well. Do you know where they went?”
“Where?” Mo Qianfan asked.
“They went to another Realm Sea.”
