Chapter 229: Blood Sea Beneath the Golden Entrance Gate

Blood Sea Beneath the Golden Entrance Gate

Leon ignored him and chased after the Inferno Swift Bird.

For a time, the entire Land of Silence was in chaos because the opening of the Martial Emperor Tomb meant that a great competition had officially begun.

The first wave of impact was too powerful because it was the tomb of a Martial Emperor realm expert. The power that had been sealed for tens of thousands of years had completely erupted.

The sky trembled.

Invisible ripples spread endlessly through space like waves across a silent lake. Cracks formed in the air itself, and the ground beneath countless cultivators shook violently. Dust rose into the sky as mountains split apart and ancient trees collapsed under the pressure.

Cultivators with low cultivation levels were unable to withstand the pressure at all. They could only watch from the outside and wait for this power to reduce.

Many had pale faces.

Some coughed blood.

Others sat cross-legged on the ground, desperately circulating Mana through their bodies to resist the crushing pressure descending from above.

"Damn it... is this truly the power left behind by a Martial Emperor?" someone muttered with trembling lips.

Another person’s eyes were full of unwillingness.

"We came all this way only to be blocked outside?"

The atmosphere became heavy with frustration and greed.

Yet inside all of them, desire continued burning.

Because everyone understood one thing.

Inside that tomb... opportunities capable of changing one’s fate existed.

Meanwhile, Leon had already entered.

His midnight robes with thin amethyst embroidery fluttered gently as he crossed through layers of distorted space. His shoulder-length black hair danced behind him, while his purple eyes calmly watched the world around him.

Leon was immersed in the void coast after he entered the tomb. The situation inside was completely different from what he had imagined.

His brows slowly furrowed.

This was not some underground maze buried beneath mountains and stone walls.

No.

This was a very special Small World.

An independent world.

A world soaked in death.

It was a sea of blood. Unlike the beautiful scenery outside, the inside was more like a Demon world. The blood-colored sky, the blood-colored sea, the hundred miles of bones, and the gloomy world.

Silence.

Absolute silence.

No birds.

No wind.

Only waves.

The blood sea rolled endlessly beneath the crimson sky, producing low sounds that resembled whispers from countless dead souls.

Crash...

Crash...

White bones stretched endlessly like ruined mountains beneath the sea surface.

Some were enormous skeletons nearly hundreds of meters long.

Ancient creatures.

Unknown beasts.

Their remains had become part of this terrifying world.

A bloody smell came. Leon frowned because this smell was nauseating.

The scent was thick.

It felt sticky.

Almost as though blood had soaked into the air itself.

Leon narrowed his eyes.

"This place..."

For some reason, even his instincts felt slightly uncomfortable.

The huge turtle swam towards a Golden Entrance Gate at the end of the sea. The Inferno Swift Bird chased after it with all its might behind. The Smoke Darke Lion and Earth Kong followed closely behind.

The old earth spiky turtle moved steadily across the sea, appearing slow, yet every movement crossed incredible distances.

Behind it, flames erupted from the Inferno Swift Bird’s wings.

Screeeech!

Its cry pierced the sky.

The Smoke Darke Lion roared furiously while black smoke surrounded its body.

Earth Kong leaped across the air, creating explosive sounds every time its feet landed.

Leon didn’t hesitate at all and immediately chased after them.

His figure instantly transformed into a streak of purple light.

Space distorted around him.

He crossed through layer after layer of void at astonishing speed.

However—

As he passed through the void, he suddenly discovered that he had entered a strange domain. He had been teleported away...

Buzz.

Space twisted violently.

Leon felt the world spin for a moment.

The sea of blood vanished.

The Golden Entrance Gate disappeared.

Everything became blurry.

Then—

Silence returned.

Leon stood rooted to the ground and observed his surroundings. He fell into deep thought.

"Pocket Dimensions?"

His voice echoed softly.

The place around him was strangely quiet.

Ancient trees towered overhead while strange silver grass covered the earth beneath his feet.

The air here felt completely different.

It was cleaner.

Calmer.

No blood.

No death.

Only a faint spiritual pressure lingering in the surroundings.

This was a very strange domain. Leon had just stepped across the sea of blood when he felt a strange power testing his cultivation. After the test, he was teleported here...

Leon finally understood what was going on after pondering for a long time. It turned out that this tomb was a spatial world with multiple domains. Everyone who entered this place would be teleported to the domain corresponding to their cultivation realm.

The domain Leon was currently in was the domain of a Sage.

Leon sighed softly.

"Sigh, isn’t this delaying things?"

His expression became somewhat helpless.

Compared to this Martial Emperor Tomb, he valued the Tomb Treasure on the giant turtle’s back more.

Unfortunately, his realm was not enough to enter the Pinnacle realm domain, so he could only watch as they left.

Leon rubbed his forehead.

A little unwillingness flashed through his eyes.

That old turtle definitely wasn’t ordinary.

And that Tomb Treasure...

For some reason, his instincts had reacted strongly the moment he saw it.

"Looks like I have to break through to the Pinnacle realm as soon as possible. Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t have the chance to obtain that Tomb Treasure."

Leon muttered quietly.

After calming himself down, he began seriously considering the situation.

Even with the Mana Principal Condense Fruit, condensing an Instinct Supreme Body would still require a considerable amount of time.

Would he still make it?

Would he miss the opportunity completely?

He narrowed his eyes.

After a moment—

"Forget it. I’ll find a quiet place and enter seclusion."

Leon looked around and flew forward.

His robes fluttered softly in the wind.

He knew Dario had also entered this place, but he seemed to have been teleported somewhere far away.

So Leon had not met him.

After passing through a coastline, he suddenly felt a chill beneath his feet.

Leon frowned.

Splash!

The blood-colored water exploded upward.

A massive creature suddenly emerged.

Leon saw a sharp fang karken baring its fangs and pouncing towards Leon.

Rows of sharp teeth reflected cold light.

Its eyes carried violent killing intent.

Its massive body blocked the sky itself.

"Get lost."

Leon shouted angrily and suddenly slapped down.

The Ultimate Hand Strike instantly activated.

Boom!

A giant hand descended from the heavens.

Space shook.

The sharp fang karken didn’t even have time to scream.

Its body exploded into countless pieces.

Blood rained from the sky.

Soon, a precious bone appeared and Leon accepted it.

He casually placed it into his Storage Space.

After all, free treasures were free treasures.

No reason to waste them.

Soon, after traveling further, Leon arrived before a huge mountain.

He suddenly felt waves of dense Mana coming from ahead.

Leon raised an eyebrow.

"Oh?"

Curiosity appeared in his eyes.

Without hesitation, he walked forward.

Leon gently slapped open a stone wall and walked in. He was suddenly stunned by the scene in front of him.

"Spiritual Mana powered cave?"
