"Is this some kind of sealing formation?" Chen Tong examined it carefully, pondering for a moment! His expression then sank as he sensed Guanyin getting closer.
"Good! I'd like to see if you dare to follow me in!" Chen Tong gritted his teeth and walked directly into the vortex gate, disappearing within.
A moment later, Guanyin also arrived! Looking at the giant vortex before her, she frowned deeply. After observing for a long time, she still shook her head!
"Forget it, perhaps this is fate!" she sighed, the meaning of which was unclear. She then ascended rapidly, leaving the area.
She did not dare to enter the vortex gate! Firstly, time was running out; secondly, the Sea of Death was too bizarre; thirdly, even if she found Chen Tong, it would be difficult to take him away in his current state.
Inside the vortex gate, Chen Tong was like a curious baby, constantly observing his surroundings.
Although it was still a sea area, the difference was that the sea here had formed a passage. The passage was transparent, no different from other seawater! However, the surroundings were filled with restrictions, isolating it from the outside.
"What exactly is this place?" Chen Tong slowly advanced, extremely cautious with every step.
As he walked, he suddenly noticed a twinkling light ahead! This was a miracle in the dead, silent sea.
Chen Tong didn't think much of it and quickly moved towards the twinkling lights. However, when he was still dozens of meters away, he immediately stopped, looking around nervously.
These weren't twinkling lights at all, but bone light emanating from bones. From a distance, he hadn't noticed, but up close, this was practically a burial ground.
Seeing the strangely shaped skeletons, it looked like a place where some creature had defecated. The thought made Chen Tong's hair stand on end, and he nervously scanned his surroundings.
There should be no living creatures in the Sea of Death. If there were, they would definitely be dead things born from the death qi! "No, this place is too dangerous, I need to leave quickly."
Chen Tong looked left and right, suddenly noticing that there seemed to be quite a few things around the skeletons. He casually picked up a few precious pills and put them into his storage bag, then quickly returned the way he came.
[Beep, congratulations to the host for triggering the hidden quest: Subdue the Death Underworld Dragon]
"Huh...!" Chen Tong was stunned: "What the heck is a Death Underworld Dragon?"
"System...!" Just as he was about to ask the System, the seawater began to churn. Soon, a head as large as half a mountain appeared above him.
Chen Tong was dumbfounded, not knowing what was happening. In a panic, he didn't know what to do. Suddenly, he felt something above his head. He slowly looked up!
"Ah!!" Chen Tong was startled and collapsed onto the ground. "Wh-what is this?"
The head was dark and incredibly huge, with two blood-red eyes. It slowly lowered its head, and only then did Chen Tong realize it was a dragon's head.
Dragons, Chen Tong wasn't afraid of them, but it depended on the level. This one before him gave him a suffocating feeling. Even a powerful Grand Unity Golden Immortal seemed like an ant in front of it.
"This... this is the Death Underworld Dragon the System mentioned? And it wants me to subdue it?"
As soon as Chen Tong finished muttering, the Death Underworld Dragon opened its mouth, as if to swallow the sun and moon, and suddenly roared at the terrified Chen Tong on the ground! "It seems to be saying, 'Come out! Be good and let me eat you.'"
"Damn it! This System is deliberately trying to screw me over." Chen Tong thought, quickly running back the way he came.
With the Death Underworld Dragon's roar, the sky above the Sea of Death changed color. Dense death qi began to spread outwards wantonly.
"Hmm...?" The Jade Emperor in the void looked puzzled: "Taibai, what exactly is happening?"
"Your Majesty! Your humble servant does not know." Taibai Jinxing had just replied when a white light flashed from the sea area. He suddenly said, "Your Majesty, Guanyin Bodhisattva has emerged."
"I know," the Jade Emperor said. With a wave of his hand, his illusory figure appeared before Guanyin with the emergence of a purple light.
Guanyin had just emerged from the sea, and the death qi had left her extremely weak. Before she could even recover her breath, the Jade Emperor appeared before her.
"Jade Emperor!" Guanyin was first stunned, then looked at Taibai Jinxing beside him. After pondering for a moment, she asked, "Why are you two here?"
"Heh heh...!" The Jade Emperor looked at Guanyin with a half-smile: "This is the question I should be asking Guanyin Bodhisattva!"
"Seeing that you didn't bring Chen Tong out, I assume you have already obtained what you desired!"
Guanyin's expression darkened: "What does the Jade Emperor mean by this? I do not understand."
"You don't understand, or you're pretending not to understand!" The Jade Emperor looked meaningfully at Guanyin: "That commotion just now, you caused it, didn't you?"
"The commotion just now?" Guanyin glanced sideways at the sea below and denied it: "Of course not."
"Heh heh..., whether it was you or not, I'll say the same thing; you know in your heart." The Jade Emperor's voice was cold, showing no emotion. "I just thought Guanyin could come to the Heavenly Court for a visit, how about it?"
Guanyin looked deeply at the Jade Emperor, then closed her eyes, as if resigned to fate: "Forget it, I will do as the Jade Emperor says."
She knew that no explanation would be useful now, and besides, her condition was extremely unstable and she desperately needed to recover. Since that was the case, it was better to grant his wish.
Beneath the sea, the Death Underworld Dragon thrashed its enormous body, violently crashing against the passage. Chen Tong within the passage was thrown about by the tremors.
It was strange, really. This invisible restriction could actually block the Death Underworld Dragon's attacks. Realizing this, Chen Tong finally felt a little relieved.
"Damn it, this terrifying creature actually wants me to subdue it! System, are you out of your mind! Oh... no! You don't even have a brain."
Despite his complaints, Chen Tong still felt a little tempted. If he could really subdue this guy, wouldn't he be incredibly cool wherever he went in the future? "But how should I do it?"
"Rumble!!"
The Death Underworld Dragon's blood-red eyes glared fiercely at Chen Tong. Its sinister, heart-chilling fangs were like a starving wolf that hadn't eaten for decades seeing a sheep, constantly drooling.
"Damn it, I'm not even enough to fill your teeth, why are you acting like this!" Seeing its appearance, Chen Tong shivered violently.
"Human, I will make you die," a huge, hoarse voice sounded.
"Uh... you can talk?" Chen Tong looked at it in disbelief.
"Hmph, I have cultivated my form for millions of years. How could mere language stump me?"
"Then why didn't you speak earlier!" Chen Tong rolled his eyes at it, thinking it was an inanimate object without consciousness! He didn't expect it to be a living creature.
"Hmph! Human, you trespassed into my forbidden land, stole my things, I should have torn you to shreds. Moreover, you are a creature of life, and we are mortal enemies."
"Uh...!" Chen Tong was full of bewilderment. "Aren't you also a creature of life?"
