History
Ancient formation
Accounts describe the Other Shore Sea of Blood as having been formed from the blood spilled during an ancient starfield war. A great power gathered and refined that blood into the sea, whose original function was to suppress an ancient Fiend—later identified as the Demon Ancestor of the Fierce Demon Clan. 2702 2764
The sea also contained the remnant souls left by the war. As more demon remnants were sealed within it, remnant souls from other races were added rather than allowed to scatter across surrounding realms. 2764
Growth and deviation
Over time, the sea began actively absorbing the souls of the tragically dead and blood scattered across multiple realms. This accumulation expanded its size and power, but also increased the resentment within it and altered the sealed Fiends and remnant souls. 2764
Its growth was not permanent. Chi Tian and Chi Di observed that its area had already shrunk by more than one-fifth since their arrival, despite its surface still appearing stable and energy-rich. 2545
Exposure and collapse
The sea remained difficult to locate because it moved through the Void in accordance with Law Power rather than remaining in a fixed position. Its entrances appeared periodically and unpredictably, allowing it to avoid most outside incursions for a long period. 2440 2472
Repeated internal conflicts, outside infiltration, and the weakening of the Demon Ancestor's seal eventually released Fiends throughout the sea. The resulting chaos enabled True World forces to open a Void passage and invade. 2741 2747 2750
After the sea's destruction, the vengeful spirits, blood spirits, Fierce Demon Clan divine souls, and other remnant souls it had contained spread into the True Realm Domain. 3036
Characteristics
- The sea is a vast blood-red body of water within the Void Source whose waters darken and become more energy-rich toward its depths. 2472 2491
- It is not stationary: it follows the movement of Void Law Power in order to absorb sufficient blood and nurture the Other Shore Flower. 2440
- Its waters contain blood traces and manifestations of numerous True World races, including ancestral blood of the True Dragon Race. 2480
- Complete Law Power exists within the sea, making it a uniquely valuable cultivation environment and a potential route to the Perfected Unity Realm. 2686
- The sea's violent blood essence carries Grievance Souls capable of assaulting intruders' souls. 2750
- Its deeper regions can contain dense crimson bubbles that burst into blood arrows, as well as illusions and unidentified controlling forces. 2493
Abilities & Functions
Blood and soul accumulation
The sea gathers the blood of powerful beings from across the True World and turns the blood essence and divine souls of the dead into cultivation resources. 2500 2764
- Its concentrated blood contains ancestral traces capable of benefiting descendants, such as the Giant Race's Progenitor Blood. 2506 2507
- Grievance Souls within it can be refined into battle troops and used as expendable combat forces. 2735
- The sea's resources are generated through the extraction and refinement of living beings' souls, corpses, and blood essence. 2728
Complete Law Power
The Other Shore Sea of Blood contains Law Power more complete than that available in the fragmented True World. 2686
- Beings near an opened passage can sense their cultivation bottlenecks loosen and may break through into the Unity Realm. 2750
- Its energy can replenish and enhance cultivators, including those refining blood-colored energy or ancestral blood during combat. 2497 2506
- This same power made the sea a target for forces seeking advancement beyond the Unity Realm. 2686
Spatial concealment and confinement
The sea's shifting position and unstable entrances make it difficult to enter, leave, or investigate. 2440 2472
- Passages can collapse, trapping intruders inside. 2488 2492
- It has been completely sealed off from the True World at several points, cutting off outside contact. 2525
- During Chi Ling and Chi Xing's battle, Law Power extending beyond a limited area was assimilated by the sea itself. 2530
Autonomous defenses
The sea possesses intelligence through the Spirit of the Sea of Blood and can react differently to individual intruders. 2492
- It forms tentacles from its waters to attack those within or above the sea. 2488 2492
- It heavily targeted Chaos True Lord after he stole an Other Shore Flower, while treating the other True Lords differently. 2492
- Its Spirit can manipulate the waters to suppress the Blood Sea Giant and restore the crimson nets binding it. 2499
- A consciousness sent to test Jiang Liu was destroyed by the Chaos Divine Axe, revealing that the sea's Spirit could probe intruders directly. 2500
Other Shore Flower cycle
An Other Shore Flower is born in the sea once every ten thousand years. It absorbs the sea's bloody aura while blooming and can help complete a cultivator's Law Power for a Unity Realm breakthrough. 2439 2472
- The flower is a Law flower suited to the evolution of all types of Law Power. 2472
- Powerful guardian creatures normally wait for its maturity and consume it, making successful theft extremely rare. 2472
- Chaos True Lord concluded that the sea may use the flower and its opened passage to lure in fresh blood and cultivate controlled subordinates; this remained his deduction rather than a confirmed explanation. 2492
Inhabitants and Internal Powers
- Spirit of the Sea of Blood / Chi Ling — The sea's sentient Spirit, capable of manipulating its waters and pursuing its own cultivation. It sought to use Jiang Liu to eliminate the sealed Blood Sea Giant. 2492 2500 2524
- Blood Sea Giant — A body recondensed from Giant Race ancestral blood. It struggled against the Spirit of the Sea of Blood for control but was restrained by crimson nets. 2499 2507
- Chi Yang, Chi Yue, and Chi Xing — The Three Gods of the Sea of Blood. Their bodies originated from Fallen Star Stones from the Sun, Moon, and surrounding starfields that gained intelligence after being nourished by the sea. 2545 2731
- Chi Tian and Chi Di — Guardians tied to the sea's survival and acknowledged as its controlling masters by its internal forces. They opposed attempts to seize or destabilize it. 2731 2753
- Demon Ancestor and Fiends — The Demon Ancestor was sealed within the sea, while Fiends included ancient Fierce Demon Clan remnants and vengeful souls corrupted by the Demon Ancestor's influence. 2731 2764
- Jiang Family forces — Jiang Shuo and allied Jiang Family members cultivated forces within the sea, draining its sealing power and contributing to the Fiend uprising. 2741 2754
Relationships
- Other Shore Flower — The sea's most coveted product; its ten-thousand-year bloom draws outside cultivators seeking complete Law Power and Unity Realm advancement. 2472
- Chaos True Lord — Stole an Other Shore Flower and was subsequently subjected to the sea's particularly focused attacks. 2486 2492
- Jiang Liu — Entered the sea during the struggle for the flower, absorbed its energy, and became a target of the Spirit's attempts to manipulate him against the Blood Sea Giant. 2491 2500
- True World races — Their ancestors' blood and later victims' lives sustained the sea, leading many races to form an alliance to destroy it. 2480 2697 2712
- Dark Divine Hall — Attempted an invasion but lost its infiltrators; Chi Tian and Chi Di later created Blood Servants from captured invaders for retaliation. 2555 2557
- Ancient Evil Demon — A suppressed force whose release destabilized the sea and created the opening that outside alliances exploited. 2704 2712
Story Role / Major Arcs
Other Shore Flower conflict
The sea became the battleground for True Lords competing over the Other Shore Flower. Chaos True Lord successfully hid one flower after killing blood-colored giant dragons, but the sea retaliated and its passages collapsed, trapping the contenders within. 2486 2492
Sea of Blood internal struggle
Its Spirit restrained the Blood Sea Giant while several factions competed for control: the Spirit's side, Qiong and Qionggang, Chaos True Lord, and the trapped True Lords. 2499 2510
Fiend crisis and outside alliance
The manifestation of a Fiend exposed the sea's threat to the broader True World. True World races, believing the sea had oppressed and secretly massacred their peoples, began forming an alliance to breach and destroy it. 2696 2697 2712
Breach and destruction
As Fiends rioted and the Demon Ancestor's seal weakened, the alliance opened a Void passage into the sea. Unity Realm cultivators fought to prevent Ancient Evils from escaping while internal factions battled for control. 2747 2750 2755
The sea was ultimately destroyed, releasing the blood- and soul-based entities it had contained into the True Realm Domain. 3036
