night.
In a Little Tree forest, the refreshing evening breeze blew the leaves, leaving jagged tree shadows under the moonlight.
"Why did I faint like that?" Gu Tianchen woke up from his coma. He subconsciously covered his head and almost sat up suddenly after reacting, looking around.
But what came into view was a pile of bonfires. Under the burning flames, Little Huo stars burst out one by one. A series of "crackles" were particularly obvious in the quiet night.
Beside the fire, apart from the unconscious self, there was only Chen Junting who was fiddling with the fire out of boredom.
"Old Gu, you're awake."
Chen Junting was not too surprised. It seemed that he expected that Gu Tianchen would wake up at this time.
"Where are we?"
Silently glancing at the surrounding environment, Gu Tianchen almost understood that they were no longer where Secret Realm was before, and even the plain where Greatsword Mountain was was definitely no longer.
"Where? Maybe it's the Little Tree forest on the border of a certain empire."
"Maybe?"
Gu Tianchen was so surprised that Chen Junting waved his hand and responded, "Because I don't know exactly where this place is. You should understand that I can't take an unconscious guy running around in this deserted place. Anyway, you are just fainted, not injured. So when you wake up, we will find out where this place is."
Gu Tianchen didn't pay much attention to this. But what puzzled him was... "Then how did we get here from the Secret Realm?"
"That's hard to say."
When answering this question, Chen Junting didn't even blink. "Perhaps it was because we all fainted, so the Deity who arranged the Secret Realm place kicked us out?"
"What a lame excuse you have."
Gu Tianchen couldn't help but roll his eyes, unable to complain. But the one who responded again was just Chen Junting who shrugged and a sweet potato he pulled out from the fire.
After looking at Gu Tianchen who took the sweet potato and began to chew it without any image, Chen Junting secretly shook his head.
In fact, he really didn't know where they were.
After all, after Necromancer Demigod Plane swallowed Secret Realm, their location was no longer Greatsword Mountain. So when they came out of the demiplane, they came to this Little Tree forest.
Under the dark night, the sea seemed extremely quiet.
A Soul Guidance Ship belonging to the Sun Moon Empire is sailing on the rolling sea. The bright light is like a dazzling lighthouse in this dark sea, which is extremely conspicuous.
"Boy Lin! How is the sea condition!?"
"Captain, everything is calm now!"
The crew member responsible for detecting sea conditions held the Soul Guidance Telescope and carefully observed the changes in the sea surface. After all, the sea changes rapidly, and a simple accident may cause the ship to capsize, and all the crew members who go to sea will be buried in the sea.
But at this moment, the alarm on the ship suddenly sounded!
In the monitoring Soul Guidance Radar screen in the captain's room, a Raging Wave King Squid was about to attack them from the sea below the ship. And according to Soul Guidance Radar's monitoring, this Raging Wave King Squid's cultivation was actually a hundred thousand years old!
"Captain!"
The deputy captain was immediately shocked!
They are currently the captain with the highest cultivation level on the entire ship, but they only have the cultivation level of Soul Saint! Facing the attack of a hundred thousand year old Sea Soul Beast, they have no ability to resist!
"Don't panic! Calm down!"
Although the captain looked panicked, he was much better than the other crew members. Because he had rich sailing experience, he knew that natural disasters were inevitable when sailing on the sea, but man-made disasters could always be changed. Therefore, if you want to sail on the sea, you must have strong strength or deterrence. In this way, you might be able to escape the crisis of man-made disasters.
Therefore, the captain who has been sailing for many years has already spent most of his savings in the first half of his life and bought a trump card to go to sea.
"Quick! There is a Level 8 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon Shell installed on the bottom of the ship, aim at the one hundred thousand year old Raging Wave King Squid and launch it!"
"Yes!"
As soon as the order was given, the bottom of the ship opened immediately.
With the influx of sea water, a Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon Shell, which was ordinary but could bring life-threatening consequences to ordinary Titled Douluo, was also aimed at the Sea Soul Beast that was attacking the ship.
The next second, "Boom--"
The huge waves set off even pushed the ship out. Level 8 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon Shell exuded frightening power, threatening the life of Raging Wave King Squid!
"Boom--"
Violent shocks suddenly came from under their feet, and along with the violent explosions that temporarily deafened everyone on the ship, their bodies were thrown into the air along with Soul Guidance Ship.
When the ship descended again, the captain quickly called the crew to monitor the radar to see what was happening to the one hundred thousand year old Raging Wave King Squid. However, the next second...
"Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep." The alarm sounded far more urgently than before, and the personnel responsible for monitoring saw that the signs of Raging Wave King Squid energy that had just existed on the radar suddenly disappeared, and were replaced by a larger energy fluctuation.
Before they could react, a shock far greater than before came from the bottom of the sea. The ship made of steel was not only lifted off again, but also turned into pieces under the violent impact.
The sea water violently churns, and under the turbulent waves, a thick water column with a diameter of fifteen meters rises into the sky! As the surrounding air twists, and all humans are buried under the sea, a huge body as big as a small island slowly rises from the water. All the surrounding sea water is filled with a thick dark purple light, as if the sea has turned into a hell.
The originally calm night sky was now filled with dark clouds, and the roaring thunder continued to fall. It was dark and dull, giving people a feeling that the sky was about to fall and the end was coming.
At the same time, a huge body emerged from the sea. Its entire body was dark purple, and the cold luster in its eyes showed its indifference to life. Its body moved slightly, and a huge tail had been raised from behind, with a twisted dark purple light, slapping heavily on the sea surface.
At this moment, the sea water continued to roll, forming a huge whirlpool, like a Black Hole that swallowed everything. Its big mouth opened below the whirlpool. Regardless of whether it was a thousand-year Soul Beast or Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, all life in this sea area was swallowed up.
"This speed is too slow."
It spoke human words, and a female voice filled with resentment echoed in the air, "Sea Soul Beast has devoured nearly a hundred sea areas and it's hard for me to take that step. Then when can I take revenge on Sea God!"
At this moment, its identity is ready to be revealed.
It is Deep Sea Demon Whale Queen, Demon Empress!
"I hope that cooperation with those humans and them will allow me to successfully step out. But..." Demon Empress's eyes flashed with Youyou's fear, "I can't pin it all on them. If I want to become a god, maybe I can find other Deity to start with. For example..."
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Demon Empress's mind.
"Haha - yes, not only Sea God became a god that year. If I remember correctly, two Deity died that year."
Thinking of this, Demon Empress's Deep Sea Demonic Whale body transformed into a woman wearing a dark purple dress. She soared out into the sea and stepped on the void. The terrifying Soul Power fluctuations emitted directly caused the sea area that had fallen into deathly silence to stir.
"Now go find those humans and find out where those two Deity came from. If I find their corpses, I will devour them all! Even if it is just a chance to win!"
"Hahaha--Sea God Tang San!"
Suppressing his crazy words, Demon Empress disappeared into the sea in a flash, speeding away in the direction of the Sun Moon Continent!
More than three months later.
"I didn't expect that we would be so far away."
Looking at Greatsword Mountain not far away, Gu Tianchen's tone was full of emotion. God knows when he came out of the Little Tree forest, he was shocked when he learned that the place they were in was almost in the center of the Dou Ling Empire. You know, this journey can be said to span half of the original Douluo Continent!
But because they were originally going to travel, it didn't matter. But because Chen Junting's travel plan that they had made early on included the original Spirit Hall Worship Hall ruins that were at the intersection of the Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire, so they could only turn around and return to the border between the two countries.
As for why it took three months...
Of course, Chen Junting stopped and walked along the way, appreciating the mountains and terrain, and at the same time, he also relied on nature to create sword skills.
It seems like I have already gained something in these three months.
"Okay, let's go."
Chen Junting looked around and roughly locked the direction, "There won't be much to experience along the way, so just rely on my Sword Flight to get there."
"Okay."
In this regard, Gu Tianchen naturally has no reason to refuse.
The next second, two flying swords soared into the air!
After aiming in the direction of Spirit City, it disappeared into the sky.
With just one stick of incense, Spirit City came into view.
Ten thousand years ago, Deity fell, Spirit Hall Empire was destroyed, and Spirit City was naturally defeated by the two empires at that time.
Since Tang San at that time came from the Heaven Dou Empire, who was also the teacher of Heaven Dou Emperor at that time. Therefore, Star Luo Empire voluntarily gave up the competition for Spirit City. After that, Heaven Dou Empire split, and Spirit City was also divided under the rule of the Heaven Dou Empire.
As for the destruction of the Spirit Hall and Elder Hall...Spirit Hall Empire in Spirit City, these two halls were naturally completely destroyed. Only Worship Hall has survived to this day because Titled Douluo of all generations were enshrined in it and were buried in the hall.
But even so...
"Is this Worship Hall from ten thousand years ago?"
Gu Tianchen glanced at the buildings in front of him with complicated eyes.
Perhaps out of some taboo, Worship Hall has never been repaired, and few people have visited it. Therefore, after thousands of years of time, Worship Hall has become a ruin and overgrown with weeds.
