"The distance is somewhat great, and if we were to force our way through, I fear that we wouldn't even make it to the other side before being ground to death by the Heavenly Venerable's Sword Intent," Iron-Crutch Li couldn't help but remark.
"It's also unclear what the situation is on the other side. I see this Sea of Blood is most likely coming from the outside, and this small world is that of the Thunder World. How could there possibly be such a bizarre and domineering Sea of Blood here?" Lu Yu shared his views.
"Yes, this Sea of Blood likely has something intricately linked with Leize's fall. Could it be that the Patriarch of the Nether River took action? However, with the Nether River's methods, I'm afraid he wouldn't be a match for Leize, the Ancient Great God."
"I once had a brief encounter with the Patriarch of the Nether River. This Sea of Blood contains a tyrannical and bloodthirsty aura, which is very different from the Sea of Blood under the Patriarch's command," Lu Yu revealed the information he knew.
No matter what, the two of them couldn't speculate who the master of this eerie Sea of Blood truly was. Lu Yu couldn't help but sigh and said, "Now that the Abyss is difficult to cross, could it be that we are doomed to be blocked here?"
Having already come this far, Lu Yu really didn't want to give up halfway. The Thunder Seal was not an absolutely necessary conquest for him; this incredibly novel experience was his best gain.
"There's no need to worry about that. Although I unluckily ended up among the Thunder Beings, it also led to me receiving a piece of news. Every two hundred and ten days, these two great seas will break through the Sword Intent, creating a brief convergence.
At that time, it is also when they and the Blood Beasts on the other side engage in a life-and-death fight," Iron-Crutch Li revealed all he knew without holding anything back.
"Blood Beast?"
"Exactly. According to them, these Blood Beasts were born in the vast Sea of Blood, with strange and bizarre forms, almost devoid of reason, with only the most basic desires driving their actions. Both sides are highly hostile to each other. It seems as if a voice in their bones tells them that they are mortal enemies, hence this battle has been going on for countless years."
"I wonder when this convergence will happen," asked Lu Yu.
"It seems to be in ten days. The two seas will converge above the Abyss at that time, and the epic battle between the Thunder Spirits and the Blood Beasts will commence. We could take advantage of this opportunity to make our way to the other side.
However, with the Thunder Spirits being volatile and the Blood Beasts bloodthirsty by nature, we must be extremely careful not to get caught up in their conflict," Iron-Crutch Li informed them, sharing all the information he had without any reservation.
"How leisurely the two of you seem to be!" a familiar voice came from afar. Focusing their eyes, they saw Han Zhongli, standing on a brown fan, leisurely drifting over from a distance.
He wore a naive smile, and in no time had already arrived beside Lu Yu and Iron-Crutch Li, with the endless Abyss instantly drawing his attention.
"Wow, what a vast Abyss, actually able to separate the two great seas," he said, and then nonchalantly stepped into the Abyss. His movements were a bit quick; before Lu Yu and Iron-Crutch Li had a chance to persuade him otherwise, they saw that Han Zhongli had already stepped one foot into the Abyss.
Soon, his robust body began to shiver uncontrollably, as if he had seen something terrifying, with sweat the size of soybeans incessantly appearing on his face.
It took him quite a while to regain his composure before he hastily withdrew his foot from the Abyss. With a shocked expression on his face, he asked, "Could this Abyss be the doing of Lord Lingbao? Only he would possess such terrifying Sword Intent. Just now, in that instant, it was almost as if I saw the end of the world," Han Zhongli quickly guessed the origin of the Abyss.

"How goes it? Is there a good way for us to reach the opposite shore? The Thunder Seal might just be over there." Iron-Crutch Li asked Han Zhongli with a smile.
"Tough, I certainly don't have such ability. You've seen the width of this abyss. With my power, I'm afraid I'd be a dead man before I even got to the other side. Old Lee, you always have clever ideas. Why not come up with a good strategy for us?"
"Since you have no good methods, then let's wait together for the two seas to converge before crossing." Iron-Crutch Li said with a smile.
The three sat down on the Thunder Sea and began to idle chat. After all, they were cultivators of some accomplishment, and soon their conversation turned to the ways of cultivation. All three were Heavenly Immortal Daoists who stimulated the Five Qi, so they could verify a great many cultivation doubts with each other.
At the same time, Hydra also entered this realm, only he appeared within the Sea of Blood. Experience new tales on My Virtual Library Empire
"Is this the place where the Patriarch met his demise? I wonder where his cast-off remains now lie. As long as I can obtain a drop of his Essence Blood, I will be able to purify my bloodline a second time, and then my strength will surely make great strides." A smug look appeared on Hydra's face; he was determined to obtain the Essence Blood of his ancestor.
Just as he was full of pride, a strange creature suddenly burst forth from the Sea of Blood beneath him. It was covered in fresh blood, with a colossal dragon's head and the body of a crocodile – an odd sight indeed, resembling a clueless infant's clumsy attempt to combine two utterly disparate creatures. It was a Blood Beast, unique to the Sea of Blood in this world.
Hydra dodged the Blood Beast's attack, and his brow furrowed. He hadn't expected that living creatures still existed in this world, especially Blood Beasts, wild and driven by desire, completely lacking in reason and impossible to communicate with.
He didn't show courtesy either, punching directly on the head of the Blood Beast, shattering the dragon head to pieces. To his surprise, this action was like stirring up a hornet's nest. The roiling Sea of Blood surged with waves, and a countless number of grotesque Blood Beasts emerged, each with its own bizarre form.
However, there was a pattern: the Blood Beasts with more heads were stronger and their wisdom was greater.
Seeing this, Hydra turned tail to flee, only a fool would bother fighting these fearless Blood Beasts – it was no different from seeking death. He deftly chose to run away.
In an instant, he revealed his true form, flapping his wings to take flight. His speed was unimaginably fast, and soon he had left the Blood Beasts far behind, eventually disappearing from sight.
"That was close. Who knew there would be so many Blood Beasts in the Sea of Blood? Lucky for me that I'm quick on my feet. If I had been even half a step slower, I would probably have been torn to shreds by those bloodthirsty beasts." Even now, Hydra felt a tinge of fear, the recent sight of numerous Blood Beasts chasing after him having been quite terrifying.
On the other hand, the old man riding a donkey backward rode leisurely atop the Thunder Sea, mumbling to himself as he went along.
"I seem to smell an old friend. Could it be he's still alive? Quite the long life he has if so. Don't you think, donkey?"
The donkey seemed not to heed the old man's words, continuing its steady pace, carrying the old man forward unhurriedly, although at its speed, reaching the Abyss might still take some time.
"I wonder where Leize's demise happened, and who will ultimately end up with the Thunder Seal." The old man said, shaking his head with a smile.
