Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao

The oceans on both sides gradually became turbulent, with colossal waves slapping against the abyss. As time passed, the commotion intensified, eventually giving rise to towering waves that crossed over the abyss as if a heavenly bridge had been erected above it.

The blue Sea of Thunder and the red Sea of Blood began to intertwine, creating a tremendous sound that echoed through the heavens.

The two forces, as incompatible as fire and water, unleashed astonishing power in that instant.

The sea roiled and roared. The two seas seemed to possess their own wills, ceaselessly clashing against each other, with blue and red reflecting off one another, generating a peculiar beauty.

"I never imagined such a spectacle could exist in this world." Iron-Crutch Li, despite having lived for eons and witnessed a variety of sceneries, was seeing such a marvel for the first time, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Lu Yu also nodded in agreement, "The wonders of heaven and earth's creation are not easily fathomed by the likes of us."

As they spoke, eerie roars rose, and from the side of the Sea of Blood surged countless strange and surreally shaped creatures. It seemed as if a mix-and-match of frantic beasts were charging towards this side.

At the same time, a cacophony of crackling cries came from the Sea of Thunder. The thunderous beings had also arrived at the scene, and the battle that took place every decade was about to erupt.

The bizarre roars and strange crackling sounds resonated across the ocean, making one feel exhilarated yet mixed with a hint of absurdity.

Lu Yu and his companions discreetly retreated a certain distance, knowing that these two species were the protagonists of today's world. If they carelessly became embroiled in their war, it would be hard to extricate themselves.

The Blood Beasts and thunderous beings paid no attention to the actions of Lu Yu's group. For them, the beings across were their mortal enemies, a will ingrained in their bodies and fused into their souls.

The grand battle between the two species erupted. The Blood Beasts had powerful bodies while the thunderous beings boasted formidable attacks. They slaughtered each other in a scene of extreme brutality.

It was the first time Lu Yu had witnessed warfare between species, an authentic life-and-death struggle without the slightest hint of morality. Every being fought with all their might.

Continuously, Blood Beasts and thunderous beings perished, falling into the sea below, returning to their origins. After a while, they would be reborn from this ocean, destined to repeat their previous fates.

"It seems to be a war between two species, yet it is actually the continuation of a struggle between two Great Spiritual Practitioners. One side is clearly the fallen Celestial God Leize, while the other must be an entity born from the Sea of Blood, but it's certain that it's not the Patriarch of the Nether River," Iron-Crutch Li said gravely.

This existence capable of contending with Leize must be formidable, and how could it silently vanish from the world? He had never even heard its name.

And why had Lord Lingbao intervened? Was it to deal with this enigmatic entity? These enigmas were like a fog, obscuring clarity.

Meanwhile, Hydra had already reached the depths of the Sea of Blood. It dived into the sea and arrived at the ocean floor where an immense White Skeleton appeared before it.

The White Skeleton had nine heads and looked exceedingly ferocious, with sharp bone spurs emanating a chill gleam.

Even though it had died many years ago and turned into dry bones, the immense aura had not faded in the slightest. Hydra felt such an oppressive force that, upon seeing the White Skeleton, it knelt on the ground.

"Worthy of our ancestor, even after death, to remain so powerful," Hydra murmured to itself as it knelt, its face alight with fanatic fervor.

The immense pressure made it difficult for him to move, but he still bit his teeth and slowly pushed forward, having exhausted all his thoughts to come this far, how could he possibly give up halfway.

Although the distance was not far, Hydra's progress was extremely difficult, but eventually, he came before the White Skeleton, and though he was gasping for breath, his face was filled with wild joy.

He stretched out his hand and slowly caressed the White Skeleton, muttering to himself, "Such a perfect body, I can imagine how powerful he was in life, and soon I too will have such a powerful strength."

Hydra took out a scale shining with nine-colored light and activated his demonic power, preparing to transfer the residual power of the White Skeleton onto the scale.

But at this moment, an unexpected change occurred, as the scale, utterly beyond Hydra's control, flew out of his hand and landed beneath the White Skeleton's neck.

This scale was like a switch, unlocking the power of the White Skeleton, and a massive suction force immediately emitted from the skeleton's body, absorbing the entire surrounding Sea of Blood into itself with such speed that it created a void in the sea.

The endless Sea of Blood kept pouring into the huge White Skeleton, which started growing flesh at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In less than a moment's time, it had completely changed its appearance.

This was a creature with nine heads, every one of them different, and its body was unmistakably that of a dinosaur.

Like a Blood Beast, this creature seemed to be a piecemeal product as well, filled with a sense of discordance.

An aura that was powerful, brutal, and strange instantly spread throughout this small world.

The creature raised its nine heads and let out a cacophony of roars, the sound was so piercing that Hydra felt dizzy and his head throbbed.

When he looked up, he found the creature staring intently at him, its eyes filled with murderous intent that made Hydra's heart tremble.

He suddenly felt that perhaps this ancestral figure never cared about his progeny at all, this was a mad Great Spiritual Practitioner with no so-called reason or emotion, only the desire for madness and slaughter.

But at this critical moment, the creature seemed to sense something, and immediately looked towards the distance, where the Blood Beast was battling with creatures of the Thunder.

The creature roared angrily and leaped out of the Sea of Blood, spread its wings and took flight, heading straight for the Abyss.

Watching the departing creature, Hydra quietly breathed a sigh of relief, touched his head where no cold sweat existed, and suddenly sat down deep within the Sea of Blood.

He had thought he would be able to smoothly obtain the Essence Blood of his ancestor, thus purifying his own bloodline and increasing his strength.

He hadn't expected that all of this was merely his wishful thinking; this ancestor was clearly a mad creature, perhaps leaving their bloodline behind was simply due to an animal instinct. Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire

Watching the fading figure, Hydra felt very complicated, suddenly disheartened, the very thing he had been desperately seeking turned out to be a fantasy he had conjured up; this blow made him feel utterly dejected.

However, he was also aware that this was not a place to stay for long, this creature clearly only knew slaughter, and would not look upon him favorably just because he shared its bloodline; had it not been for the commotion in the distance, he might already be dead.
