Chapter 223: The Creature That Tore Through Space
The sudden change made both of them freeze on the spot. Lin Bai frowned as he looked at the crack. At first, it was only the size of a finger’s, but all the hair on his body stood up. This was a human’s instinct for danger.
He had a premonition that this was the biggest enemy he had ever faced. Sensing the imminent danger, the Ruoshui sword let out a humming sound, and the body of the sword trembled violently.
The crack was rapidly expanding outward, as if there were a pair of invisible hands tearing apart this space. In just a short while, it was already as wide as a forearm. The inside was bottomless, as if it was a passage connecting to hell. It was impossible to see the scene clearly.
Lin Bai gathered all the spiritual energy in his body and focused his gaze. His eyes emitted a deep divine light that was able to see through all illusions and illusions.
The black fog in front of him surged into the sky, like an endless sea. The resentful energy could even materialise and gather in the black, sticky, and fishy sea water.
Countless skeletons rolled and gathered in it. The sound of the cold wind and the wailing of the vengeful ghosts was incessant. The sharp cries of the vengeful ghosts could cause one’s eardrums to explode. However, no matter how they struggled, they could not escape the shackles of the black fog.
The souls struggling in the sea could never be reincarnated. They kept cursing all the time. When they saw the breath of a living person, they were like wolves who had smelled the stench of blood. They scrambled to reach out half of their rotten bodies from the sea. They wanted to drag a living person into hell,
in just a few breaths’ time, Lin Bai retracted his divine sense. He sensed the cold air coming from his hand. If he stayed any longer, he might be assimilated. An unprecedented sense of danger surged in Lin Bai’s heart.
At this moment, there was already black qi emanating from his body. The Ruoshui sword had a spirit. With a flash of the sword light, the black qi that followed him vanished into thin air and gradually drifted into the sea above his head.
“It’s really too terrifying…”
He Qingyuan, who was on the ground, opened his eyes wide. His eyeballs were so wide that they almost bulged out. They were filled with red blood threads that were densely packed like a spider web. He was the insect on the web.
“Don’t look!” Lin Bai noticed He Qingyuan’s strange behavior and tried to stop him, but it was too late.
He Qingyuan kept murmuring. His eyes were fixed on the top of his head as if he was attracted by something. He stood up from the ground without caring about his serious injuries and reached out to touch the crack.
If Lin Bai had not pulled him back in time, he would have thrown himself into the crack and been devoured and assimilated by the vengeful souls inside. He would have become an evil creature with no consciousness in this evil sea and would never be able to escape.
“Let me go. That, that is the place of liberation…”
He Qingyuan seemed to have been possessed and did not listen to anyone’s advice at all. Although he was severely injured, his strength was unusually great.
Countless black fog surged into his wound. The originally cracked skin actually showed signs of healing. The blood gradually solidified into dark red scabs. Lin Bai had no choice but to knock him out with a palm strike.
He looked at the crack above his head, which was now as large as a black cave hole. Lin Bai also noticed that the evil sea was not calm. On the surface of the sea were the skeletons of the vengeful souls, but there was an undercurrent surging under the sea.
A huge vortex slowly rose up. The originally ferocious and twisted ghosts now had an extremely terrified expression on their faces. They all crowded to the side, densely packed like shrimps. There were countless of them.
Many of them were even stepped into the sea by their companions. It was as if they were swallowed by something and could no longer climb out. There was an even more terrifying creature in the vortex that was about to awaken.
What exactly was it that could cause these thousand-year-old ghosts to reveal such a terrified expression? Lin Bai did not dare to imagine that it might be that creature from the ancient battlefield.
A red light suddenly appeared in the vortex. Upon closer inspection, it was actually a huge scarlet eye that was coldly staring at Lin Bai. The evil aura filled with curses ravaged. In short, such a gaze could not be described with words.
The instant he was glanced at by it, Lin Bai only felt the shadow of death passing by. There had never been a moment that was so close to death. Just one of its eye was so huge. He did not dare to imagine what its true form was like.
Its eyeball spun faster and faster, the scarlet light flashing deeper and deeper. Soon after, the shape of four limbs appeared around it. He could not see the outline clearly in the sea, but it was definitely an unimaginable giant.
There seemed to be something invisible that separated the space above Lin Bai from reality, so that the black sea could not pour into reality. Even so, the pressure and danger that it brought to Lin Bai was huge.
He had a premonition that although the evil sea could not penetrate reality, this monster had the power to tear space apart, and it might even come out in its true form. If it were to appear, it might be unstoppable. Even if all the capable cultivators in the entire capital gathered together, they would not be its match.
Lin Bai made a prompt decision. He swung his Ruoshui sword and produced a sharp sword light to meet the sky, wanting to shatter the crack. As long as the crack disappeared, the creatures in the evil sea would naturally not be able to come out.
However, no matter how sharp the sword qi fell into the crack, it was useless. It was instantly swallowed. Not even the slightest wave was stirred up..
