Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 788: Crossing the Sea of Fire

Having arrived at this gateway, Qinchuan paused and scanned the group of people behind him.

"We have journeyed together, which must be fate. I'll offer a word of advice to you all: the area beyond this gateway is increasingly dangerous. I earnestly advise those who have not reached the Emperor Realm to stop here.

If you insist on forcing your way through, you're merely offering up your lives for naught."

"Hmm?"

There were thousands of cultivators following Qinchuan, among which there were over a hundred of the Emperor Realm, while the rest were all of the Supreme Saint Cultivation Level.

They had faced many dangers on their way and finally reached this place, only to hear from Qinchuan that the area ahead was not for those below the Emperor Realm, which immediately made them tense.

"Young Master, since you say that only those of the Emperor Realm can enter, I wonder whether you can yourself?"

A cultivator asked aloud.

That person was hiding in the crowd, and the voice came from all directions, clearly expressing distrust in Qinchuan's words and trying to lead the mood secretly.

Qinchuan knew these people were not willing to give up so easily, and he had no need to waste words with someone who didn't dare to step forward and speak.

He just snorted coldly, "I have already warned you. Whether you believe it is up to you. If you're not afraid of dying, then come follow me."

After saying that, Qinchuan swept a glance at Ji Huo'er, Bai Ruoxi and Ling Xian'er and others, and whispered, "Be careful, and try to stay close to me."

Having said that, Qinchuan's figure entered the swirling vortex of the grand gateway.

Passing through the gateway, Qinchuan and the others immediately felt a scorching wave of heat washing over them.

They stood upon a dike, and behind the dike lay a sea.

This was no ordinary sea, but a sea of fire ablaze with fierce flames.

Each wave was a flame rising to its peak, and at the center of the flames, fragmented worlds were nurtured, with countless Great Dao Laws sinking within.

This was a Flame Ocean formed by the condensation of Fire Element Laws.

At a glance, the sea of fire seemed to stretch to the end of the world, with no opposite shore in sight.

"What a magnificent sea of flames!" Ji Huo'er and the others, seeing such turbulent flames for the first time, were deeply moved.

Though this boundless Flame Ocean seemed calm, with only many flames rising, they understood that a tremendous energy lurked beneath the fire sea. Should they set foot within, the violent Flame Laws would consume them.

"Whoosh!"

At that moment, the sound of the void being pierced echoed from behind.

At the same time, several muffled hums arose.

"My heavens, such a powerful soul attack!"

A few of the Supreme Saint Experts did not heed Qinchuan's advice and forced their way through the gateway. They instantly felt their souls being wrenched from their bodies. Then the terrifying aura emitted by the vast sea of fire shattered their True Spirits, and their physical bodies plummeted down towards the fire sea.

Before the bodies could even fall into the sea of flames, they had utterly turned to ash in mid-air!

"It's the Soul Burning Sea!" Ling Fei, a Loose Cultivator Great Emperor in the distance, gasped in a low voice.

Qinchuan couldn't help but take another curious look at Ling Bo, feeling quite intrigued by this Ling Fei's background.

This Soul Burning Sea was formed by the gathering of Fire Spirit Elements from within the bodies of top-tier and fire-adept Divine Level experts after their deaths.

The formation conditions for the Fenhun Sea are extremely harsh, and most divine tombs do not contain this sea. Even Qinchuan was seeing it for the first time and didn't expect that this Ling Fei would actually disclose it so vividly.

With this thought, Qinchuan opened his Innate Pupils and scanned Ling Fei up and down.

"A genuine native of the Divine Wilderness, not a cultivator from the Upper Realm! The paths of cultivation are disordered, the spiritual energy within the body is not systematic, has at least cultivated numerous vein mental methods, practices Divine Skills abundantly and indiscriminately, but isn't proficient in any.

Among the many Great Emperor Experts, his strength can only be considered at the bottom! Yet, he knows so much."

"Fenhun Sea? What is that? How are we supposed to get past this place?"

Standing beside Ling Fei was a Great Emperor called Old Daoist Tongshan, who asked out of curiosity.

"This Fenhun Sea is formed when the fire element spiritual energy within the top-notch experts of the Divine Race who have fallen generates its own will and converges here.

Passing through the Fenhun Sea is quite simple, there are two methods.

First, see over there, there stand nine steles, as long as one completely comprehends the Laws on those steles, it is equivalent to gaining the recognition of the Fenhun Sea, sufficient to cross the sea safely."

Ling Fei pointed into the distance.

Casting their gaze far, indeed, they saw at the end of the levee world towering steles, nearly too tall to see the tops, each inscribed with complicated and ornate Divine Race characters, exuding the majestic will of the Great Dao even after a billion years.

"To comprehend the secrets of these nine steles would probably be impossible even if one exerted their whole life." The numerous Great Emperor Experts shook their heads and asked, "What's the second method?"

Before Ling Fei could speak, a shriek interrupted everyone.

"You, you lads over there, how come they are crossing the sea unscathed!"

Everyone followed the direction of the voice, and to their shock, they saw Qinchuan's group maneuvering a crystalline magical treasure, traveling across the Flame Ocean and advancing towards the end of the Fenhun Sea.

The group moved through the sea region safely and undisturbed.

Only then did Ling Fei leisurely say, "As for the second method, well, that requires sufficiently powerful magical treasures, Divine Skills, Physical Body, and Soul to withstand the scorching flames of the Sea of Fenhun. Naturally, one can forcefully cross the sea, just like Young Master Qin and his companions."

Having said this, Ling Fei paused and added, "However, I would advise you all not to try it rashly. If you do not have the means to withstand the fierce flames of the Flame Ocean, the consequence would be complete annihilation."

"Hmph, this lad is merely at the Supreme Saint Early Stage, whether it's his Soul or Physical Body, any of us could crush him, and I bet his magical treasure isn't that strong either. Since they can forcibly cross the sea, it seems the Fenhun Sea is merely formidable in name only."

At this moment, a Great Emperor Expert snorted coldly.

Immediately after, blue flames enveloped his body without a hint of hesitation, and with a leap, he shot towards the direction of the Fenhun Sea.

"It's Great Emperor Yan Yi!"

The numerous Emperor Realm Experts put away their thoughts and watched Yan Yi with intense eyes, eager to see if he could successfully cross the sea.

"He's made it! He hasn't been devoured by the Laws of the Fenhun Sea!"

On the shore of the levee, many cultivators erupted into an uproar.

Because they saw Yan Yi's aura billowing, his body engulfed in blue flames, he had already entered the domain of the Fenhun Sea.

"It seems the Fenhun Sea isn't much after all. If those at the Supreme Saint Early Stage can enter, Great Emperor Experts should be able to as well. It looks like there's no need to comprehend whatever stele Dao intent!"

At that moment, many cultivators whispered among themselves, making preparations to cross the Fenhun Sea.

But just then, an anomaly occurred.

Yan Yi had only flown less than ten li when suddenly a dazzling flame rose from the midst of the Fenhun Sea, like a fire dragon, directly engulfing him.

Yan Yi didn't even have time to utter a sound before his body completely turned to ash, disappearing amidst the Flame Ocean.
