Other Shore Sea of Blood

Biodata

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

The creator was Jiang Wang, who refined the sea and established a divine-soul tether there rather than leaving a trace of Spirit Soul Consciousness behind. Its original materials and inscribed Laws were sufficiently powerful to sustain it despite its subsequent changes and the increasing burden of its prisoners. 2762 2764

To accelerate the development of the spirituality needed to operate the construct, Jiang Wang used the body of the defeated Wraith Clan Chief as refining materials and made the chief's heart its controlling core. The heart greatly accelerated the refinement of qi and blood and the absorption of remnant souls, contributing substantially to the sea's eventual scale. 2769

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

They discovered that the proliferation of sentient beings within the sea had increased its energy consumption beyond what its absorption of blood essence could replace. Their efforts to resolve this crisis developed into a struggle for control, temporarily displacing their original goal of restoring the sea's prosperity. Ying Hong's infiltration eventually prompted them to suspend their conflict and address the external threat together. 2545 2546

The Jiang Clan also used the sea to cultivate its own forces. Its expansion consumed the sealing power Jiang Wang had established, helping create the conditions for the evil-spirit uprising and the Demon Ancestor's attempted escape. 2702 2728 2741

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

The breach did not immediately result in the sea's permanent destruction. Jiang Wang reinforced its seals, subdued its rioting spirits, and later intervened when Yao Ben and Zou Yan's battle threatened to collapse its space. After driving their avatars away, his avatar repaired the sea and strengthened its formations. 2764 2791 2800

The repaired sea remained intact while Jiang Wang's Soul Guide, controlling Chi Tian's body, fought Tu Tong's remnant soul for possession of it. The strengthened formations confined their battle's effects to a limited area. Outside, Qionggang and six other Unity Realm Giants attempted to reopen a passage, but their combined attack had almost no effect. 2792 2798 2800

After the sea's eventual 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

Its destruction removed a major threat to the domain, but did not by itself repair the damage associated with the Law of Destruction. Di Yue explained that the return of the Chaos Void Lord God was needed to purify that Law and allow the domain's damaged regions to recover. 3046

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
• The entire sea constitutes a gigantic independent space refined through artificial means. 2712
• Its environment is saturated with violent blood qi and the Law of Destruction, which can erode Mystic Treasures and Law Power. Jiang Liu's resistance to this erosion surprised Chi Tian. 2678 2743 2754
• Although destructive power predominates, other complete Laws are concealed within its waters. Cultivators able to withstand or refine its bloody aura can benefit from these resources. 2521
• The sea's destructive order is not compatible with every form of power: the eruption of Chi Di's life-bearing power threatened to disrupt its surroundings rather than nourish them. 2743

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
• Jiang Wang established an array in the True Realm that continuously collected the flesh and bodies of the fallen, allowing the sea to accumulate power over an extended period. 2939
• The Wraith Clan Chief's heart accelerates the processing of qi and blood and the absorption of remnant souls. Its beating also strengthens the qi-and-blood phantoms and silhouettes gathered around it. 2769
• Souls nourished by its resentment and blood essence can become stronger than they were in life. After escaping, such remnants could devour living souls or seize bodies. 3036

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
• The Law of Life and Death leaking out before an Other Shore Flower blooms provides an opportunity to locate the Void Source. Its completeness contrasts with the incomplete Law Power generally available in the True Realm. 2437
• Compatibility matters: during the alliance's breach, some cultivators advanced through resonance with the escaping Laws, while the Twelve True Lord Clans initially failed to find complete Law Power suitable for their own breakthroughs. 2751
• The Three Gods could draw on the sea's abundant resources to replenish themselves, while Chi Tian could directly mobilize its Law of Destruction to sustain and strengthen his attacks. 2545 2753
• After the alliance's assault, the True Realm experienced improved cultivation conditions. New Phoenix Clan breakthroughs produced complete Law Power, reducing the obstacles that had burdened Feng Jiu's generation. 2794

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
• Its repulsive force restricts the strength outsiders can display. For the trapped True Lords, forcibly opening a way out was essentially impossible without Unity Realm strength. 2704
• Long-term residence exposes living creatures to assimilation by the sea, with their strength declining after assimilation. 2517
• Concealed internal spaces can hide major battles from observers on the sea's surface. On Jiang Liu's return, he sensed faint Law fluctuations but could not detect the Chi Yue Space in which Chi Yue, Chi Xing, Chi Ling, and Chi Yang were fighting. 2570
• Following Jiang Wang's repairs, the closed passage resisted a concealed combined attack by seven Unity Realm Giants using coordinates and marks left behind earlier. 2798

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
• The Spirit's control was incomplete. It could not control the appearance of the Other Shore Flower and was barred from three deeper locations by powers strong enough to terrify it. 2517
• Chi Tian and Chi Di could perceive distinctive Law threads associated with outsiders and use them to maintain control over entrants throughout the sea. 2545
• The sea's formations could mend collapsing space, although repeated repairs depleted its crimson light. Jiang Wang later strengthened the formations so that scarlet curtains intercepted the shockwaves of the battle between his Soul Guide and Tu Tong. 2791 2800

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
• By absorbing the Law of Life and Death, the flower allows cultivators to sense the intent of opposing Laws returning to unity, an important requirement for advancing to the Unity Realm. 2437
• Its benefits include helping cultivators sort out True World Power within their bodies and recognize what is missing from their incomplete Law Power, rather than simply guaranteeing an immediate breakthrough. 2440 2495
• The sea expends substantial vital essence to nurture the flower, making it an exceptional resource even within such an energy-rich environment. 2573

Core and suppression system

The sea's deepest controlling core is the enormous, blood-vessel-covered heart of the Wraith Clan Chief. Jiang Wang refined it to supply the spirituality needed for the construct's operation without waiting for a new consciousness to develop naturally. 2769

• The heart had belonged to a being capable of bearing Lord God Realm strength. The rest of the chief's body was divided into materials and incorporated into the sea. 2769
• The Demon Ancestor discovered the core and attempted to exploit it during his escape. He could communicate with the heart but had not gained control over it. 2769
• The heart's thorough refinement resisted contamination. Without that resistance, the sea could have filled with devilish qi, its Grievance Souls could have become devil puppets, and its sealed prisoners could have escaped. 2769
• Jiang Wang could readily mobilize the sea's qi and blood and inscribe crimson runes throughout it to reinforce suppression and quiet the spirits. 2764 2769
• The eventual destruction of the sea also destroyed its associated suppression formations throughout the True Realm Domain, removing the restraints on the imprisoned remnants. 3036

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. Its authority did not extend to all of the sea's deeper powers or the appearance of the Other Shore Flower. 2492 2500 2517 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. Chi Tian and Chi Di supplied additional Fallen Star Stones to support their development into powerful Unity Realm combatants. 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. Known as the Heaven and Earth Gods, they initially remained hidden even from the Three Gods and intervened principally against threats to the sea or powerful invaders. 2545 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. Their cultivators retained their original primary Laws while using the Law of Destruction as an auxiliary power suited to fighting within the sea. 2741 2754 2777
• Jiang Wang's Soul Guide — Occupied Chi Tian's body and defended Jiang Wang's interests in the sea, later fighting Tu Tong's remnant soul for control after their temporary cooperation against the Demon Ancestor. 2774 2792 2800
• Tu Tong's remnant soul — Helped stabilize the sea against the Demon Ancestor, but subsequently resumed its struggle against Jiang Wang's Soul Guide to seize it. 2800
• Void Overlord — Entered the sea unnoticed and discovered that its qi and blood did not erode him. He refined drifting remnant souls and blended scarlet radiance from his body into the sea, increasing his cultivation. 2770 2800

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. After advancing to the Unity Realm, he departed rather than remain under its pressure. 2486 2492 2704
• 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. He later returned to investigate its hidden powers, refined the Chi Yue Hidden Pearl, and used the evil-spirit uprising as an opportunity to consolidate his cultivation. 2491 2500 2570 2644 2726
• 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. Ying Hong had previously been severely injured while probing its hidden powers. The evil-spirit crisis interrupted Chi Tian and Chi Di's operation against the hall. 2537 2555 2557 2696
• Ancient Evil Demon — A suppressed force whose release destabilized the sea and created the opening that outside alliances exploited. 2704 2712
• Jiang Wang — Its creator and ultimate repairer during the great melee. He reinforced its suppression system and rejected Yao Ben's offer to take over its management. 2762 2764 2791
• Wraith Clan Chief — His defeated body became refining materials, and his heart became the core controlling the sea's operation. 2769
• Yao Ben and Zou Yan — Their Divine Sense Avatars intervened during the sealing crisis and later fought within the sea, bringing it close to collapse before Jiang Wang forced them to withdraw. 2772 2774 2775 2791
• Giant Race — Sought to recover ancestral flesh essence, remnant souls, and corpses distributed throughout the sea. Qionggang led an unsuccessful attempt to force entry after Jiang Wang repaired its formations. 2798
• Voidfolk — Intervened against the escaped remnants after the sea's destruction. Xu Wu directed them to use the Void Soul-Locking Grand Formation against the remnant souls sustaining the vengeful spirits. 3036

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

The conflict also revealed that the sea contained manifestations of numerous True Realm races and ancestral bloodlines. Its abundant reserves sustained the Crimson Dragon's attempted breakthrough despite the True Lords' efforts to exhaust its energy supply. 2480 2481 2482

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

The discovery of the Three Gods and the hidden Heaven and Earth Gods exposed deeper layers of authority beyond the Spirit. When Jiang Liu returned, the surface appeared calm even as a major battle continued within the concealed Chi Yue Space. 2525 2545 2570

After refining the Chi Yue Hidden Pearl, Jiang Liu received memories of a consciousness stronger than the Three Gods that had once overwhelmed it. He suspected that this power had damaged its original awareness and might have left hidden measures within the pearl, possibly in connection with stabilizing the sea. These explanations remained his inferences. 2644

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

Chi Lun's secretly retained wolf-clan soul mark supplied intelligence from within the sea despite the restrictions on communication. Feng Jiu ultimately became alliance leader, with Peng Yuan as deputy, while Di Yue warned that breaching the sea would not solve the danger posed by its powerful surviving defenders. 2704 2712 2719

Chi Tian and Chi Di returned with their elites and initially checked the rampaging spirits. They identified the Jiang Clan's unchecked expansion as a central cause of the crisis, but the confrontation with Jiang Shuo and other internal powers further destabilized the sea. 2728 2741

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

Jiang Wang intervened by imprinting crimson runes throughout the sea, strengthening its seals and silencing its evil spirits and Grievance Souls. The crisis also exposed the Wraith Clan Chief's heart as the sea's core and the Demon Ancestor's attempt to communicate with it. 2764 2769

After the Demon Ancestor was sealed, Zou Yan demanded the elimination of the remaining Devil Race remnant souls, provoking opposition from Jiang Wang's Soul Guide and Tu Tong. The resulting struggle expanded to include Yao Ben, whose later battle with Zou Yan caused widespread spatial collapse. Jiang Wang manifested through the formation, drove both avatars away, and restored the sea before his weakened avatar vanished. 2774 2775 2791

The sea survived this encounter with stronger formations. Jiang Wang's Soul Guide and Tu Tong resumed their contest for possession, while the Giant Race's attempt to reopen an outside passage failed. 2798 2800

The sea was ultimately destroyed, releasing the blood- and soul-based entities it had contained into the True Realm Domain. 3036

The escaped remnants devoured souls and seized bodies, while continued deaths allowed the vengeful spirits to grow. Xu Wu recognized that the remnant souls had to be destroyed first and ordered the Voidfolk to deploy the Void Soul-Locking Grand Formation. Although the sea's destruction ended a longstanding threat, the domain's damaged Laws still required purification and restoration. 3036 3046
