Chapter 222: The Outer Eastern Sea, Breaking Free from Shackles, Traces of a Divine Artifact!

Crack!

In an instant, a massive rift suddenly appeared in the sky above the plaza!

It spread like thunder, stretching a thousand miles long!

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

The sound of surging waves echoed from the rift, and a faint projection of an endless sea appeared in the sky.

“Wild Sea!”

Everyone instantly grew excited, including Han Yuanzhen, who clenched his hands slightly.

He had been stuck at this level for a long time. His peers, like the one from the Western Desert, had already reached the rank of Marquis, while others sought out ordinary divine artifacts to break through. He couldn’t afford to delay any longer. Otherwise, he’d miss his time to shine!

“Remember, if your power isn’t enough, don’t try to seize that Divine Spirit Fruit. Focus on second-tier artifacts, which are excellent, too.

“Once you’re in the Wild Sea, your landing point is random, but you’ll gather at the agreed location.

“You all fall short of the top-level, so you need to stick together.”

The Grand Elder reminded them once more.

“Yes!” Mo Xiaoyu and the others nodded immediately.

“And you.” The Grand Elder looked at Yun Bujue. “Even if you don’t have much longer, make sure to die in the sect, not outside.”

“All right.” A smile appeared on Yun Bujue’s aged face.

The others glanced over at him.

By comparison, Elder Yun wasn’t often seen, but he held a high rank, second only to the Grand Elder.

Within the current generation, the Grand Elder was the highest, ranking as the second senior brother. Then came Yun Bujue, ranking as the third.

Luo Qingtai of Medicine King Peak ranked fourth. Shangguan Zhi ranked fifth. Mo Shukuang sixth. The elder of Purple Nourishment Peak was eighth. Xi Yingqing ranked ninth. Xu Lingyue of Formation Peak was tenth. Hua Ciyan was thirteenth. Ku Fengchun sixteenth.

And then there was Meng Changqing.

“Finally, to you. Do your best.” The Grand Elder looked at Meng Changqing without many words since, so far, Meng Changqing had never disappointed him. “Continue to overpower your way through, shaping your invincible presence!”

“I will.” Meng Changqing smiled.

This so-called invincible presence was a type of momentum, a belief, and a will. In the original championship format, he could have achieved it quickly.

But with the format changed to sect-based teams, he encountered too few opponents to form it, even with consistent wins.

However, now things were different.

In the Wild Sea, there were eighty exceptional talents, not even counting those from the demonic factions — a huge number!

If he defeated them all, he could form that presence. The Divine Spirit Fruit would undoubtedly attract everyone’s attention and serve as a focal point.

Boom!

The rift in the sky shook again, growing wider, releasing a rich aura entirely different from reality — ancient and primal.

“You may enter!” The Wanxiang Pavilion officials announced loudly.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

In an instant, beams of light shot into the rift, leaving only the guardians of the major powers, who remained, their eyes filled with anticipation.

It felt like stars were shifting, the surroundings ablaze with light, stunningly beautiful. When visibility returned, they found themselves in a new world, with the sound of the sea wind roaring in their ears.

Meng Changqing looked around and saw a vast sea, its shores out of sight, with occasional hazy islands in the distance.

Suddenly…

Clack!

A mysterious force bound his body like shackles, slowing the flow of his internal energy and soul power.

His strength, once fully available, now capped at eighty percent.

“Interesting. This is the ancient restrictions of this place,” Meng Changqing noted.

To this land, they were intruders and thus faced rejection from its laws. But because this wasn’t a complete world, merely an ancient remnant, the rules were incomplete, offering only limited suppression.

With this thought, Meng Changqing’s mind focused, and the aura of his sword domain pulsed slightly, instantly dispelling the shackling force.

Martial realms were also forces of the law, so breaking through the incomplete laws here was easy.

Bang!

Just as Meng Changqing was adjusting to the environment of the Wild Sea, the ocean beneath him suddenly exploded!

A massive creature leaped out, its mouth wide open.

The beast’s aura was intense, reaching level five. However, Meng Changqing didn’t even glance at it. He just raised his foot and stomped.

Boom!

A terrifying force shot downward, instantly shattering the beast into a mist of blood that stained the sea below.

“A Wild beast.” Meng Changqing looked down.

In the Wild Sea, two types of creatures existed: the Wild beasts and the Wild tribes.

The Wild beasts were similar to demon beasts, but unlike demon beasts that could unlock new abilities with each breakthrough, a Wild beast’s talents were fixed at birth.

The Wild tribes, however, were more human-like in appearance. Yet in specific ways, they were different. Some had three heads or six arms and were usually enormous. Additionally, they were not very intelligent. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be hiding in this small ancient land.

The Wild beasts were the same. If they had greater intelligence, they would have known better than to attack him despite sensing his presence.

A mere level-five Wild beast only corresponded to the Supreme Transcendence Realm of humanity.

“Let’s determine our location first.” Meng Changqing took out a map.

The Wild Sea was round and divided into the outer and inner seas. Based on the surrounding landmarks, he estimated he was in the outer eastern sea.

According to the Grand Elder’s information, this area seemed to contain a divine artifact, although it was an ordinary one.

“But even an ordinary divine artifact can’t be missed.” Meng Changqing’s eyes gleamed.

Divine artifacts were rare, even the ordinary ones. Even if he couldn’t use it, it could benefit others. With suitable talent, an ordinary divine artifact could create a Marquis.

With this in mind, Meng Changqing identified the location of the divine artifact and sped off in that direction.

As previously mentioned, after so many years of human control over the Wild Sea, every location where divine artifacts could appear was well-known.

As for the legendary Divine Spirit Fruit, it didn’t ripen until the final day in the Wild Sea, so there was no need to rush over.
