Chapter 979: Chapter 495: Difficult to Cross the Bitter Sea
Boom!
At this moment, the fog covering the Bitter Sea dispersed, and one after another, peaks appeared, glowing brightly enveloped in mist, mysterious beyond measure, resembling Divine Peaks.
There were seven Divine Peaks in total, each taller than the last, shrouded in the deepest depths of the Bitter Sea, rising to the skies, with the Great Sun embedded in the void hanging halfway up its mountainside.
And it was on this seventh Divine Peak that the Divine Palace was situated.
At this point, everyone went insane, rushing forward, wishing to traverse the Bitter Sea, ascend the Divine Peak, and reach the palace that symbolized the true inheritance.
An Daochen had no time to worry about the fleeing Golden Lion, casually stowing away the severed lion head he had cut off, and surged forward on a tattered old piece of cloth.
Not to mention that those who first entered the Divine Palace would have an advantage and seize the transformative inheritance, just the very Divine Peaks towering over the Bitter Sea possessed great opportunities.
Lu Yun and Zhou Yichen and several fellow disciples from the Green Flame Palace gave one another a look and also crossed the Bitter Sea, their strong aura keeping most people at bay.
Huge waves surged, anomalies abound, as fierce beasts with exceptional strength appeared in the Bitter Sea, opening their enormous mouths to devour the Heavenly Prides attempting to cross.
Born in the Bitter Sea and feeding on the blood essence of the Heavenly Extinguishing Supreme, these fierce beasts’ physical bodies were terrifying, and their power was awe-inspiring, with even the weakest possessing the strength of the Unity Realm.
But these were the Heavenly Prides from the True Fire Domain and its surrounding realms, possessing Great Divine Powers and great fortune with extraordinary strength. How could mere Bitter Sea fierce beasts pose a threat to them? With a mere wave of their hand, these beasts were blasted into smithereens, their blood staining the Bitter Sea.
However, these Heavenly Prides were not so engrossed in battling the fierce beasts, as their main goal was to ascend the Divine Peak and compete for opportunities; defeating the beasts was just a side effort.
“Is this the First Divine Peak?” Lu Yun exclaimed in shock, witnessing various anomalies, runes branding the void, Divine Mountains erupting divine sounds; he stood above the void, feeling an inexplicable power.
“This place is bizarre, we must be cautious and careful,” Xie Yushi’s white skirt fluttered as her voice echoed like a spirit in a valley.
Zhou Yichen and the others also surveyed their surroundings, then chose a spot and dived down, landing in an area with an open view.
“It truly is a place of inheritance for the Supreme, indeed there is something remarkable.”
After landing on the Divine Peak, they felt as though they were sinking into a quagmire, their movements sluggish. Even with fast movement techniques allowing them to shrink distances, it was extremely difficult to execute here.
Looking up into the void, they faintly saw metallic runes forming a mysterious Prohibition, not only greatly enhancing the gravity of this place but also making it difficult to employ Divine Abilities to traverse the void.
Moreover, there were powerful fierce beasts on the Divine Peak, and carelessly entering their territory could lead to violent blood battles.
“Junior Brother Ye, are you alright?” Zhou Yichen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth; he was injured, but not severely.
Similarly, Ye Zhiying had a deep wound on his chest, showing the bone with a black aura permeating it, but it was quickly dispersed by a strong sword Qi.
Thinking back, it felt unlucky; they had actually encountered a terrifying fierce beast in the early mid-phase of the Entering Saint Realm. Even with both joining hands, they could barely contend with it. If not for Lu Yun’s timely assistance, their injuries would not have been so light.
Lu Yun looked at the massive body of the fierce beast on the ground, his Divine Dawn surging as the Hell Furnace appeared.
The blood and flesh of beings in the Saint Realm contained astonishing energy, refined through the smelting of Primordial Essence, awakening more and more Elephant Microparticles within their bodies.
Seeing Lu Yun’s aura growing ever stronger, Zhou Yichen and the others exchanged looks and gave a helpless smile.
They were all true inheritors of Heavenly Pride from the Green Flame Palace, possessing unbeatable strength in their own realms, regarded as true prodigies throughout the entire True Fire Domain.
But before Lu Yun, they suddenly seemed ordinary.
“I’m afraid Junior Brother Lu’s strength could now be compared to those in the late or even Perfection phases of the Saint Venerate Realm,” Zhou Yichen sighed.
The Entering Saint Realm had three phases: Saint Realm, Saint Venerate Realm, and Saint Exalt Realm.
Each realm was divided into the early phase, middle phase, late phase, and Perfection.
The strength differences between each minor phase were enormous, and it was not difficult for a prodigy to cross one realm.
But crossing two realms, or even more…
Undoubtedly, it was very difficult, even with strong Divine Abilities and Dao Weapons.
But Lu Yun was breaking this norm without even using powerful Dao Weapons, which simply felt too outrageous.
It was fortunate that Lu Yun had such strength, or else they wouldn’t have even reached the Divine Palace, having been severely injured by the beings of this First Divine Peak.
Indeed, not just them, but the Divine Flame Youth and Ye Zhentong were also injured, with two fewer Heavenly Prides accompanying them.
Their luck was even worse, encountering a being in the late phase of the Saint Realm, close to Perfection; just one confrontation, and a Heavenly Pride had fallen.
Others, although they managed to escape in time, all suffered injuries of varying degrees.
“From now on, we better not spread out too much; let’s stay together for mutual support,” Zhou Yichen suggested.
After Lu Yun stowed away the Hell Furnace, the group discussed briefly and started on their journey again, unable to delay any further. Guided by their intuition, they searched for the path leading to the Second Divine Peak.
As of now, the space above the Bitter Sea was sealed by the Prohibition formed by mysterious runes, making it impossible to traverse the Bitter Sea.
The Heavenly Extinguishing Supreme, having left behind his inheritance, certainly did not restrict everyone to just the First Divine Peak. There had to be a passage leading to the Second Divine Peak.
Besides Lu Yun and the others from the Green Flame Palace joining forces, the other Heavenly Prides also set aside their prejudices and banded together. Here, individual martial prowess seemed somewhat meager; only through alliance could they protect themselves and stand a chance to seek great fortune.
Ahead, the mist thickened, becoming harder to discern. Everyone’s pace slowed to a crawl, as if they were old cows, unable to increase their speed.
“Ah…”
Suddenly, a piercing scream came from ahead, startling the other teams and making their hairs stand on end.
“Be careful; there is an abyss ahead!” someone called out.
Ahead was an abyss, pitch black and shrouded in heavy fog, undetectable without special pupil skills. It emitted a terrifying devouring force that could sweep any cultivator or being into its depths if they ventured too near.
Most crucially, the Prohibition here was stronger than in other areas, completely forbidding flight and reducing walking speed to a crawl.
Someone threw a huge rock into the abyss from a great distance. A long time passed without any sign or sound.
It was impossible to imagine where this abyss led or what fate awaited anyone swept up by the devouring force.
“It seems there’s a bridge above. It should still lead to the Second Divine Peak.”
Those with powerful consciousness and those who possessed divine pupil skills quickly noticed a suspension bridge above the abyss. It was pitch black, covered with spots and dark patterns, looking extremely eerie.
Such a narrow bridge, was it forcing the Heavenly Prides to fight each other here?
“Roar!”
Suddenly, a beast’s roar came from behind, packed with a heavy oppressive feeling, belonging to a terribly fearsome creature pursuing them.
“That’s the Qingtian Giant Beast.” Ye Zhentong’s eyes glimmered darkly, runes shimmering as he turned to look at the quickly approaching beast, his voice low.
“This damned beast actually followed us, damn it,” muttered the Divine Flame Youth, touching a faintly painful wound on his abdomen, his expression extremely ugly.
“There’s more than one bridge; there’s another over there. Let’s move first; we can’t let that creature catch up.”
Taking advantage of the chaos, Ye Zhentong led several people swiftly to another suspension bridge and disappeared into the dense fog.
“Hey, there’s another bridge over there; Ye Zhentong and the others already crossed it.”
Someone noticed that Ye Zhentong’s group had vanished toward another spot.
“There are more on this side; more than one bridge. We should hurry or it’ll be too late once that fierce beast comes.”
Soon, several suspension bridges were discovered, and numerous Heavenly Prides frantically vied to be the first to cross. With more people than bridges, a struggle inevitably ensued.
Some successfully crossed the bridges, while others fell into the abyss.
The Green Flame Palace members, strong and led by Lu Yun, the most fearsome among the Heavenly Prides, faced no competition.
Stepping onto the pitch-black suspension bridge, Lu Yun frowned slightly, hearing the screams coming from behind.
Clearly, those Heavenly Prides who had not managed to cross in time were attacked by the terrifying creature that had followed them.
“These individuals, if not for entering the land of inheritance, would remain in the outside realms and at the very least could reach Saint Venerate, or with luck, become a World Master. Now, they fall here fighting for an elusive chance of inheritance; I wonder if it’s worth it,” Zhou Yichen lamented.
“Nothing is unworthy,” responded Ye Zhiying sternly, his expression solemn. His body surged with sword Qi, resisting the devouring force from the abyss.
Once on the suspension bridge, the devouring force from below weakened slightly, the runes on it flickering, blocking the force’s invasion.
Looking out, heavy mists obscured the view, while below was pitch black, as if an unprecedented beast had opened its massive jaws to devour all light and extinguish all life.
“We’re almost there; we are about to reach the Second Divine Peak, but who knows what dangers await us there,” Zhou Yichen said, surrounded by black flames that burned against the devouring force.
Boom!
Suddenly, on the other end of the Second Divine Peak, a terrifying aura erupted, shaking the suspension bridge.
Someone was attacking the bridge Lu Yun and the Green Flame Palace members were crossing, trying to destroy it and make them fall into the abyss.
“Damn!” exclaimed Ye Zhiying in shock as his terrifying sword Qi burst forth.
They were almost across the abyss, spotting the cliff of the Second Divine Peak from afar. However, there was someone there with a cold gaze, focusing on them and unleashing his divine powers to attack the bridge.
“Leng Qianfeng, is he seeking death?”
Ye Zhentong, who had already reached the Second Peak, looked over and immediately recognized the man in black attacking their bridge—a young, strong man radiating an aura of death, his eyes cold and merciless, filled with a strong intent to kill.

“Leng Qianfeng, one of the Netherworld Children from the Death Hall, has also arrived,” the Divine Flame Youth said with a sneer on his face.
Seeing someone targeting Lu Yun interested him greatly, preferably if it would lead to Lu Yun’s demise.
