After leaving the Blood Sea Sect, Fang Hong flew rapidly toward the south.

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.

On this day, Fang Hong’s figure finally stopped above a vast and boundless sea.

Fang Hong hovered high in the sky, looking downward; below him was the mysterious sea recorded in the memories of the Blood Sea Emperor.

Following the guidance of his memories, Fang Hong soon found a hidden mark left by the Blood Sea Emperor years ago on an inconspicuous reef on the seabed nearby.

It was an extremely faint blood-colored mark that would be impossible to detect without stopping to investigate carefully.

The seawater in this area was unusually dark, appearing as a bottomless ink-blue.

Fang Hong dove into the sea and continued to descend.

One hundred li.

One thousand li.

Ten thousand li.

...

Following the route in the Blood Sea Emperor’s memories, Fang Hong continuously dived toward the depths of the seabed. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

After an unknown amount of time, when Fang Hong had descended to a depth of one million li, he finally arrived at the location of that mysterious stone grotto.

What came into view was a flat seabed plain, and in the center of the plain, a huge black hole appeared!

This black hole was dozens of zhang in diameter, and the edges of the opening were smooth and even, as if it had been forcefully carved out by some powerful force.

Gray, hazy Qi was constantly drifting out from inside the cave!

These gases collided with the surrounding seawater but were not tainted by it; instead, they remained distinct and appeared completely out of place.

Upon seeing this gray, hazy Qi, Fang Hong’s pupils constricted, and an expression of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

He was actually somewhat familiar with this gray, hazy Qi!

After thinking carefully, this Qi was remarkably similar to the "Chaos Qi" said to have been born when the heavens and earth first opened.

Beside the Chaos Green Lotus Dao Foundation within Fang Hong’s body, a layer of Chaos Qi lingered, though it was much weaker than what was drifting out from the black hole before him.

"Could it be that a Chaos-level treasure is hidden inside this cave?!"

Fang Hong secretly guessed in his heart, and an irrepressible sense of anticipation welled up, causing his heartbeat to quicken.

Chaos treasures were legendary existences with infinite wonders; if he could obtain one, it would undoubtedly greatly improve his Cultivation.

Subsequently, Fang Hong immediately mobilized the Great Dao of Space, and a blue light flashed across his eyes as he attempted to see through the situation inside the black hole.

As the Great Dao of Space operated, the scene inside the black hole gradually became clear before his eyes.

The Chaos Qi inside the cave was much denser than at the entrance; the deeper one went, the thicker the Chaos Qi became.

Soon, Fang Hong’s vision pierced through layers of Chaos Qi and saw a dazzling golden light cluster suspended at the end of the black hole!

That golden light cluster was about the size of a human head and emitted a mysterious aura; even from a distance, one could feel its extraordinary nature.

"There really is a treasure!" Fang Hong’s face instantly revealed an expression of great joy.

Although he could not yet see exactly what this golden light cluster was, based solely on this aura and the phenomenon, it was definitely an extraordinary supreme treasure.

However, the Chaos Qi at the end of the black hole was simply too thick; to see the true appearance of the golden light cluster, he had to go deep into the cave.

Fang Hong did not hesitate any longer and flew cautiously toward the interior of the black hole.

He dared not be the slightest bit careless, as Chaos Qi existed here, and no one knew what other dangers were hidden inside the cave.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

As soon as Fang Hong’s figure flew into the black hole, the surrounding Chaos Qi immediately swept toward him.

These Chaos Qi appeared gentle, but they actually contained extremely violent power; striking his body, they actually made him feel a burst of pain.

Even the circulation of his Immortal power became slightly sluggish.

Even more strangely, this Chaos Qi could penetrate his physical body and directly sting his soul.

"As expected of Chaos Qi!"

Fang Hong was secretly startled and dared not delay; he immediately activated the Devouring Tribulation Divine Art, wanting to attempt to use this Chaos Qi for body tempering.

Although Chaos Qi was dangerous, it was also an excellent resource for Cultivation; if he could refine and absorb it, the improvement to his physical body and soul would be immense.

Once the Devouring Tribulation Divine Art was activated, a layer of faint black halo appeared on the surface of Fang Hong’s body.

The Chaos Qi that swept over was cleverly neutralized the moment it touched the black halo.

Then, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, it slowly merged into Fang Hong’s body.

"Hahaha, it really works." Fang Hong was overjoyed.

After these Chaos Qi merged into his body, they were continuously tempering his flesh, blood, and bones.

Using this Chaos Qi for body tempering was actually even more excellent than using heavenly lightning for body tempering before.

"This mysterious stone grotto is simply a natural treasure land for body refinement!"

Filled with anticipation, Fang Hong continued to fly deeper into the cave.

While moving forward, he fully activated the Devouring Tribulation Divine Art, crazily absorbing the surrounding Chaos Qi for body tempering.

As he continued to go deeper, the Chaos Qi in the cave became increasingly dense, and its power grew stronger and stronger.

Fang Hong was not the least bit afraid; on the contrary, he became even more excited.

The stronger the Chaos Qi, the better the effect on his body tempering; he wished this Chaos Qi could be even stronger!

Under the continuous tempering of the Chaos Qi, the strength of Fang Hong’s physical body was rapidly increasing again.

The bones within his body emitted crisp "cracking" sounds, and every inch of his muscles was filled with destructive power.

...

After flying for about twenty or thirty li, Fang Hong’s figure finally approached the end of the stone grotto, getting closer and closer to that golden light cluster.

Just at this moment, a brilliant golden light suddenly erupted from Fang Hong’s body, and his entire aura instantly surged.

At this moment, the strength of Fang Hong’s physical body had another breakthrough, reaching the peak level of an Immortal Emperor directly.

The surrounding Chaos Qi was already quite dense.

However, Fang Hong stood motionless amidst the Chaos Qi, not activating the Devouring Tribulation Divine Art to absorb or resist this force.

After this period of adaptation, Fang Hong had by now completely become accustomed to the Chaos Qi here.

Looking up, the golden light cluster suspended in the depths of the Chaos was now only a hundred zhang away from Fang Hong.

Fang Hong once again mobilized the Great Dao of Space, his gaze piercing through layers of Chaos Qi and landing directly on that golden light cluster.

This time, because he was closer, Fang Hong could see it with absolute clarity.

Inside the golden light cluster, a primitive little bell was actually suspended!

This little bell was about the size of a palm, with a heavy dark gold color throughout its body, and its surface had many mysterious patterns.

These patterns were constantly flowing and evolving, sometimes turning into rushing mountains and rivers, and sometimes manifesting soaring birds and charging beasts.

There were even scenes of the Human multiplying and living, and the birth and destruction of heaven and earth; every image was vivid and lifelike, as if it contained the life, death, and Reincarnation of a world.

"It’s actually it."

"Innate dao artifact, chaos bell."
