Chapter 1298: Enter the Ancient Holy Gulf

Swoosh!

A scarlet light whizzed across the dark sky and dark destructive lightning struck once in a while. Every time the lightning came near to the scarlet light, it would be dissolved by its high temperature.

When one looked through the scarlet light, he would notice that the scarlet was actually a scarlet gourd. Mu Chen, Luo Li and the other two in their group were sitting cross-legged on the gourd, while the Scarlet Flame Deity was at the forefront.

“The conditions in the Holy Gulf Continent are severe.” Mu Chen looked grave as he lifted up his head to look at the raging destructive lightning. Even an Upper Earthly Sovereign would be badly hit if he was not careful.

They were fortunate to have the Scarlet Flame Deity with them to lead the way. Otherwise, it would take them more than 10 days to get out of the space windstorm.

“This is nothing. The conditions in the Ancient Holy Gulf are many times worse than this place,” the Scarlet Flame Deity said.

When Mu Chen heard this, he was shocked. Is the Ancient Holy Gulf such a dangerous place?

“Many masters have died in the Ancient Holy Gulf, but their spiritual energy was so powerful, that it remained behind them. To this day, it still lingers around and forms strange phenomena.” The Scarlet Flame Deity smiled and said, “As the harsh conditions and strange phenomena in the Ancient Holy Gulf could be formed by a Heavenly Sovereign who has passed on, how could these things not be frightening?”

Mu Chen, Luo Li, Ling Xi and Long Xiang gasped when they heard his words. Strange phenomena formed by a Heavenly Sovereign who has passed on? Just the thought of it made them all shudder.

“As the conditions in the Ancient Holy Gulf are extremely harsh, you must be extra careful when you are there, and you also must watch out for the other teams. There are more teams this year, and even the Demon Slayers in the Holy Gulf Continent have joined in. These Demon Slayers’ hands are stained with blood, and they are extremely powerful,” the Scarlet Flame Deity warned them.

When Mu Chen heard this, he was shocked. The Demon Slayers were not to be trifled with, especially the high ranking Demon Slayers. They were not even inferior to Xuan Luo and Mo Xin, who were strong opponents!

“But, they will need the help of the Heavenly Sovereigns to go through the space windstorm.” Mu Chen couldn’t help but ask, “How can they enlist such help?”

“Hohoho, the Demon Slayers belong to the Great Thousand Palace. As long as they have enough Demons-slayed points, they will be able to get the help of the Heavenly Sovereigns in the Great Thousand Palace to get them into the Ancient Holy Gulf.” The Scarlet Flame Deity explained with a smile as he looked at Mu Chen’s baffled face.

“It is nice to have the Demons-slayed points.” Mu Chen smiled. One could use the Demons-slayed points to invite a Heavenly Sovereign to join in.

“If you have enough Demons-slayed points, you can even invite Qin Tian, the Demon Slayer King. But, as he is a Divine Heavenly Sovereign, you must have a valid reason for inviting him. It is important to remember that the Demon Slayer King will not help you with the things that are immoral or against the rules,” the Scarlet Flame Deity said.

Mu Chen and Luo Li looked at each other and shared a meaningful glance. They knew that the Divine Heavenly Sovereign was the most powerful person in The Great Thousand World. After all, he belonged to the supernatural level!

Even for the Flame Emperor and Martial Border, not just anyone could meet them, let alone enlist their help. They must be of a certain status and have a special relationship with them in order to do so.

However, in the Great Thousand Palace, one could even invite the Demon Slayer King! The Great Thousand Palace had indeed gone to great lengths to promote the Demons-slayed points.

The scarlet gourd continued to travel at a great speed. Mu Chen and his company were impressed by the Heavenly Sovereigns’ resources and means, which were far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

After about two hours, they suddenly felt that the fluctuations in the area became a little sticky. They were shocked by this, and they lifted up their heads to see that the space in the area had cracked!

At that moment, they were overwhelmed by a horrifying oppression, which made it difficult for them to breathe. Even the Scarlet Flame Deity turned grave and started to slow down.

Mu Chen and his company shivered when they saw his expression. They realized that they had reached the deepest part of the Holy Gulf Continent.

“The space windstorm…” the Scarlet Flame Deity said suddenly.

They looked in front of them and saw that the area in front of them was being smashed, and a silver windstorm raged throughout the area continuously. What was worse, there was nothing outside of the windstorm.

Mu Chen and his company were like mere grains of sand before the humongous silver windstorm. They had a feeling that if they should fall into it, they would turn into ashes instantly. Even a Heavenly Sovereign would be wary of such a natural disaster.

The Scarlet Flame Deity steered his scarlet gourd to stop some distance away from the space windstorm. Even at this distance, they noticed that the scarlet light around the scarlet gourd was deformed.

Throughout their journey, none of the destructive lightning could weaken the scarlet light. Now, however, even though they were some distance away from the windstorm, the scarlet light had finally started to become deformed. This space windstorm was indeed powerful!

“Thirty minutes from now will be the best time to enter the space windstorm,” the Scarlet Flame Deity said as he looked at the raging windstorm.

Mu Chen and the rest nodded, then started to tense up. While they were waiting, Luo Li went near to Mu Chen and said softly, “After we have entered the Ancient Holy Gulf, let’s look for Qingxuan. They seem to have obtained some information on the place where a Heavenly Sovereign has passed on.”

“Oh?” Mu Chen was shocked that Wen Qingxuan and her team had been able to obtain such information. Now, even before they entered the Ancient Holy Gulf, they already knew where to go!

“It does not seem appropriate for us to have a hand in it, since they are the ones who got the information,” Mu Chen said with a frown.

Such information was precious. If they could reach the place before the rest, they might be able to obtain the inheritance and not have to share it with the others!

Luo Li smiled and said, “Qingxuan is the one who suggested it, since we are the best people for her to partner with. They are not the only ones who have the information, so there will be a fierce competition.”

Mu Chen pondered this for a while, then nodded. In this case, they could do it, especially if they tried to get more leads on the Eight Budur.

“In that case, we owe her a favor.” Mu Chen smiled.

There were many groups heading toward the Ancient Holy Gulf, most of whom were more powerful than them. Yet, even though Wen Qingxuan had no lack of partners, she had chosen to work with them because of their good relationship.

Luo Li smiled and said playfully, “They may realize later that they have made the right choice.”

Among their team, Ling Xi seemed to be the most powerful person, as she was an Advance Spiritual Array Ancestral Master. For this reason, many people had overlooked Mu Chen, as he was only an Upper Earthly Sovereign. However, Luo Li knew that he had the greatest combat force.

“Ha, there are indeed many people this time around.” The Scarlet Flame Deity spoke up, clearly having overheard Mu Chen and Luo Li conversing.

Although they could not see anyone, they could indistinctly feel horrifying oppressions all around them. Other than the Heavenly Sovereigns, no one would be able to exude such a strong oppression in the face of the space windstorm.

Mu Chen sensed that there were more than 10 such oppressions, which meant that there were more than 10 Heavenly Sovereigns among them! The Heavenly Sovereigns, who were rarely seen, had all appeared at this moment! This Ancient Holy Gulf was indeed enticing.

Boom! Boom!

The space windstorm suddenly thundered and shook the entire area. At the same time, the raging space windstorm gradually calmed down.

When Mu Chen and his company saw it, they knew that the opportunity to enter the Ancient Holy Gulf had finally come!

“Let’s go!” When the Scarlet Flame Deity saw it, light surged in his eyes. He then stamped his foot, causing a stream that was like magma to whiz out from the mouth of the scarlet gourd.

“Remember, if you want to get out of the Ancient Holy Gulf, just smash the jade talisman and it will send you back to the Holy Gulf Continent!” the Scarlet Flame Deity instructed.

Mu Chen, Luo Li, and the other two nodded. They then tapped their feet and shot out. As they dashed out of the scarlet light, the stream of magma whizzed toward them and covered them up.

The stream of magma was like a scarlet dragon. Once it engulfed them, it roared and carried Mu Chen and his company toward the space windstorm, and they soon disappeared within it.
