Martial World's
Ch 2171 - Emperor of the Bone Sea
…
…
…
The world of the Demon God Tomb was stable; this was a world that had survived the great Destruction.
The space here was difficult for even a True Divinity to be destroyed. As for earth and stone, although a master like Sheng Mei had the ability to destroy it, it was impossible for her to do so as easily as Lin Ming had just done. If Lin Ming poured his energy into the evil bones then the power displayed could be imagined.
“If so, even if you can't see anything from this evil bone and even if you don't manage to swallow its energy, at least it can be used as a weapon?”
A light lit up in Sheng Mei's mind. This demon spine was 13 feet long and as thick as Sheng Mei's thighs. In fact, with such length and width, in some ways it was similar to a master spear!
Such a gigantic spear was too big to use Lin Ming's true self. But, if the demon avatar Lin Ming used it then it would be appropriate.
Previously, Lin Ming's demonic avatar used a Black Dragon Spear wrapped in bone fragments. This spear seemed extremely strong and sturdy, but once it was hit by the impact, the bone fragments would actually break apart, causing its combat efficiency to drop as well.
As for these evil bones, it was impossible for such a thing to happen. And not only that, but the spine itself has cartilage and even connects with meridian channels, which allows it to have a certain degree of flexibility.
This spinal spear could be used by Lin Ming's demonic avatar. As for the Black Dragon Spear, it would be handed over to Lin Ming's true self.
“Mm... It looks like I can only do this for now.”
Lin Ming turned his hand, sealing the spine with a layer of seals before placing it in his inner world.
“Let's adjust for a few months. Then, we can start looking for an exit.”.
“Mm.”
………
In the Demon God Tomb, lonely loneliness flooded the ground. Only time passed by monotonously and without change, an unstoppable force that kept ticking.
Two years had passed since Lin Ming discovered that evil bone.
In the vast and boundless black desert, the air was polluted with a light scent of blood. The dried corpse lay on the boiling hot sand, its blood vitality was already sucked dry with only the remaining skin and bones withered.
Even so, there were some predators who were very interested in this withered corpse. If someone tore the corpse apart, they could see a huge black corpse insect the size of a fist digging their way, and the sound of bone gnashing gushed out that caused one's scalp to tingle.
But at this time, not too far away from the corpse, a sand dune appeared. The sand dune grew bigger and sand started flowing down from both sides. After a while, the entire sand dune exploded and an iron tower-like abyss leaped out from the black sand!
And on the shoulder of this ravine sat a peerless woman.
This woman was slender and skinny and she was wearing a black dress. He jumped down from the shoulder of the ravine, his clothes fluttering in the wind as he gently landed on the black sand.
And at this time, the black insect hiding in the corpse froze in vigilance. They stared at the two unexpected arrivals, motionless.
These two people were Lin Ming and Sheng Mei; they had just come from the underground mystic realm.
Originally Lin Ming had said that they only needed to adjust for a few months. However, Sheng Mei could not bear to let Jiu’er, who had just been born, follow Lin Ming in his battle so quickly. He wanted to enjoy a quiet and comfortable time with Jiu’er.
So, they stayed in the cave for one year and three months.
During this one year and three months, the boy grew very fast. As for his basic lessons, he learned everything at first glance.
However, Jiu’er's talent in body transformation isn't particularly outstanding. So Lin Ming and Sheng Mei decided to make Jiuer follow the dual cultivation path of energy and divinity; this was the same path that the heavenly Dream traveled.
Now, Jiuer had already completed Pulse Condensation. What happened next was to open up his sea of soul in his dantian and officially step onto the path of dual energy and heavenly cultivation.
A year three months later, Lin Ming and Sheng Mei began to search for a way out of the underground mystic realm. They used a full nine months before they could leave.
Perhaps this underground cave had a way out or perhaps not, but in short, when Lin Ming and Sheng Mei wanted to leave, they could not find a way out no matter how hard they searched.
Finally, they chose a relatively weak spot in the underground magic, and then used the evil bones to forcefully tear apart the part of the curse seal and dig a channel.
Then, they used the evil bones to dig up the ground and continued upwards.
Even with the help of the evil bones, Lin Ming and Sheng Mei had to spend a lot of time and effort before they finally dug out a layer of rock and appeared above the ground.
The underground stone layer of the Demon God Tomb was even stronger than the stone above. In addition to the enormous underground pressure, if an ordinary True Divinity or Empyrean was buried within it then they could give up on coming back out.
“There's a corpse..”
Sheng Mei's gaze fell on the withered corpse not too far away. From what he knew, this corpse could not possibly die for too long.
Sheng Mei slowly approached. At this moment, some insects hiding within the corpse suddenly jumped out, shooting towards Sheng Mei like arrows!
Sheng Mei's expression did not change. He just snapped his fingers.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
Like a red lotus blooming in the void, this corpse insect exploded in a bloody flower before disappearing in a wisp of mist.
“This is a corpse insect condensed from the power of the demon god. With them around, after the abyss beneath True Divinity realm died, they would be eaten clean even without their bones remaining. “
Lin Ming stepped forward and looked at this bottomless abyss. The abyssal stomach had completely withered. As for his chest, it still rose high due to the presence of scales, but these scales had been bitten by corpse insects and looked like a beehive from a beehive.
“He is an Empyrean level bottomless pit of the Flood Alliance; I remember him.”
Sheng Mei said after staring at the withered face of the corpse for some time. A martial artist had an extremely powerful memory. Even with a single glance, many useless and unnecessary images would be stored in their minds and could be recalled immediately if necessary.
“She may have just died for a few days, but I don't know how she died.”
Lin Ming rubbed his chin, not having much interest in such things. During the trip to the Demon God Tomb, even the five True Immortals had perished, so what was an Empyrean?
But at this moment, Sheng Mei's complexion changed. “Something went wrong. Too many dead! “
“Mm? What is it?”
“When the disciples from Deep King Road entered the Demon God Tomb, they would leave a simple soul mark mark on the jade slip that Deep Child and I had. This is to facilitate the determination of their location and relative situation. But now, I have just checked the jade slip and found that out of the 20 few Deep King Road disciples that came, most of them have died! ”
Sheng Mei's words caused Lin Ming's heart to sink.
“Most of them have died?”
“Iya. All Empyreans had died without exception.. ”Sheng Mei said with a heavy expression. When the Demon God Tomb was opened in the past, the death rate was always high. Even so, within a few hundred years, 80-90% of participants died as the most extreme end of the spectrum, and those who survived had extraordinary talent. And with a great destiny that would add itself to their bodies, their future achievements would be astounding. In such a situation, a high death rate could actually be borne.
But now, even ten years had passed in the Demon God Tomb and the bottomless pit that Sheng Mei was aware of, almost all of them had died. If another hundred years passed, how many could survive?
Lin Ming frowned. A vague feeling appeared in his heart. He was afraid that there was a terrible danger lurking in the Demon God Tomb at this moment.
He seemed to remember something. He asked Sheng Mei, “According to the jade slip of the Demon God Tomb, the final abyss ritual must take place in the Emperor Bone Sea. When did it start?” Lin Ming traced his spatial ring. Inside were two books of ceremonial rites. Other than Sheng Mei, they had all the ceremonial books.
The ceremonial books were treasures that even a True Divinity level abyss would salivate with envy. This was because those who possessed it would have the opportunity to undergo an abyssal ritual and become an abyssal level totem.
This was also the one most cared about by high-level ravines like Lin Ming and Sheng Mei.
But now ...having more ceremonial books in hand did not bring joy to Lin Ming.
This was because ...he could smell some dark conspiracy in the Demon God Tomb.
Is the Demon God Tomb really a lucky chance? Or could it be a complete trap to begin with?
Sheng Mei said, “I don't know when the Bone Sea Emperor will appear. It could be several years from now, decades from now, or even more than a hundred years from now – ”
Before Sheng Mei finished speaking, she stiffened. Just now, he felt a tremor from the ceremony book in his spatial ring.
“Mm? How can this be.?”
Sheng Mei seemed to realize something. He flew, instantly flying several tens of thousands of feet high.
Lin Ming followed behind him.
As they flew into the higher atmosphere, their clothes fluttered in the strong desert wind as they looked at the horizon.
In the distance, they could see a sea that seemed to be connected to the sky. It was extremely smooth like fog, coiling up with vast and endless waves of smoke, appearing as if it would spread all the way to the ends of the universe…
“It... what is it.. Emperor of the Bone Sea where the abyssal ritual takes place?”
Lin Ming muttered, surprised, as he stared at the incomparable vast sea. The Emperor of the Bone Sea had appeared even before 10 years had passed?
