Chapter 1141 The Killing Intent of Heaven and Earth

After slowly adapting to the underwater world, Ding Hao felt that this place did not seem to be much different from the world on the land. He felt as if the air had been replaced by seawater. The terrain below the sea level wasn’t flat, and light black plants were swaying back and forth. Some strange marine organisms were shuttling leisurely, and the light spots were shining like stars.

Ding Hao was having a poor sense of direction again.

Fortunately, he could follow along the low seafloor, so his general direction should not be wrong.

After a few hours.

“It’s strange. According to my speed, I’ve gone nearly a million kilometers deep into the Seven Seas, and I’m almost 20,000 meters deep. But why haven’t I encountered any powerful Abyss Demons along the way, nor have I seen any signs of the Sea Clan? Could it be that the Seven Seas are really vast, and the area I’ve entered is only the periphery?”

Ding Hao was a little confused.

He had been scanning the surroundings with his Divine Senses and saw everything within a radius of nearly 1,000 kilometers, but he did not find anything.

If this went on, when would he be able to find the Sea Clan?

Just when Ding Hao felt that his exploration was a little reckless, and it was time to change a way, he got feedback from his Divine Senses. Behind an imperceptible valley in front of him, an area of buildings similar to an underwater city suddenly appeared. He was overjoyed and immediately sped up.

At the next moment, Ding Hao arrived at this place.

“It is indeed a city of the Sea Clan…” Ding Hao glanced around and was overjoyed.

However, he soon discovered that something was amiss.

The city seemed to be quite empty.

As his Divine Senses carefully scanned it, Ding Hao’s expression became a little strange.

The small city in front of him was probably comparable to a colony of millions of people on the land. The shape of the buildings was a little strange. Most of them were made according to the appearances of some sea beasts and sea monsters. It was a bit like an underwater fairy tale world. A towering spiral stone tower was located in the center of the city, and it was also filled with the faint aura of the five elements. After Ding Hao scanned it with his pupil technique, he knew that the stone tower was built to suppress the terrain, seawater, and other environmental factors within a radius of hundreds of miles so that the city would not be invaded by the sea currents and would not be destroyed by the movement of the earth shell.

The cities of the Sea Clan were quite different from those of the Human Clan.

Ding Hao could not figure out the division of some functional areas at the moment.

Of course, these were not the points.

The point was that after Ding Hao entered the city and observed it for a while, he could be sure that it was not an ancient site or a declining city, but a brand new city. Judging from the signs in all aspects, there were millions of creatures of the Sea Clan living here less than a month or two ago. But about a dozen days ago, they completely abandoned this city and left it like refugees.

Judging from the layout and other aspects of the city, Ding Hao could not tell which branch of the Sea Clan the city belonged to for the time being, but at least he knew that it didn’t belong to the Mermaid Clan.

Why did they suddenly abandon their home?

It was as if they were trying to avoid some disaster.

The thing was that there was no sign of damage in the whole city, and there was no trace of fighting, which showed that it was not an invasion by foreign enemies or an escape because of the war.

Ding Hao could not figure it out.

He searched the whole city but found nothing.

He had intended to find some books or maps, but unexpectedly, the city had been completely emptied, leaving nothing useful. Moreover, the language of the Sea Clan was obviously different from that of the creatures on the continent. It was obscure and difficult to understand. Even the Saber Master and the Sword Master, the two old monsters, didn’t understand the language.

Ding Hao did not stay in the city for too long before he continued to move forward.

About two hours later, more than a hundred thousand miles away, he came across another city of the Sea Clan.

This city of the Sea Clan was more magnificent than the previous one. It was surrounded by inscription tactical deployments. The buildings inside were as continuous as deep forests and mountains. The divine statues were towering and extremely magnificent. One could see the military camps of the Sea Clan, but they were also empty. There was not even a single living creature of the Sea Clan inside. All the core positions of the tactical deployments had been removed. Some low-level sea beasts and fish were swimming in the city.

“It seems that they were avoiding something. They must have been retreating in an orderly manner, not fleeing in a hurry!”

Ding Hao rubbed his temples. This discovery was a little incomprehensible.

He suddenly felt that the sea area seemed to be enveloped by an invisible aura, and the atmosphere was a little weird.

With a flash of inspiration, Ding Hao realized that not only the city was empty, but he also did not encounter any other sea Abyss Monsters, not even any slightly fiercer sea beasts, on his way, except for the octopus-like monster. It did not make sense.

The sea area Ding Hao passed by was already extremely vast, but along the way, he saw all kinds of low-level sea beasts and fish. These creatures were like ants on land, and they even had no basic intelligence.

Could it be that some sort of danger was about to befall this place?

Was that why the relatively stronger or smarter creatures of the Sea Clan had already left here in advance?

Ding Hao was lost in thought.

Without stopping, he continued to move forward.

In the next half a day, he encountered dozens of cities of the Sea Clan one after another. They were of different sizes. Several of them were in excellent geographical conditions. The terrain contained great opportunities. There were underground Dragon Veins gathering. The Spiritual Qi in the sea here was much more abundant than in other places. Judging from the architectural style, they were likely to have existed for thousands of years.

However, without exception, all these cities had been abandoned.

Ding Hao became more and more serious.

It should be noted that the power of the Sea Clan was not weaker than that of the creatures on the land. The Seven Seas were divided into seven major clans. Each clan was powerful enough to fight against the top clans on the land, such as the God’s Palace and the Feather Clan. The large population made the Sea Clan produce a large number of experts and God Realm Masters. This was a very powerful clan. What kind of a disaster had made them willing to give up the cities where they had lived for thousands of years and retreat?

An invisible danger also made Ding Hao feel depressed.

By the second day, he had already traveled at least millions of kilometers, but he still didn’t find any trace of the Sea Clan, except for the abandoned cities.

What exactly happened to the Sea Clan?

Ding Hao didn’t know if it was because of his psychological effect or his Mind Essential intuition that he had a hunch. Gradually, he could feel that there was an indescribable destructive power between heaven and earth.

This kind of destructive power was not the suppression of some kind of power, nor was it the might of an expert. Instead, it was a kind of true killing intent of heaven and earth.

In the kung fu/martial arts world, killing intent could be divided into three types, which were the killing intent of Human Attack, Earth Attack, and Sky Attack.

When people released killing intent, it would overturn heaven and earth.

When the earth released killing intent, dragons and snakes would rise from the ground.

When the sky released killing intent, the stars would change in position.

If it were truly the killing intent of heaven and earth, it would definitely make even the immortals tremble.

According to the legends in the Land of Infinity, since the chaotic beginning of the world, when the stars were nourished and the living creatures were bred, the killing intent of heaven and earth had only appeared once. At the end of the Immortal Period, killing intent was released by heaven and earth. As a result, countless immortals died, celestial beings fell into a deep sleep one after another, the six paths collapsed, and Reincarnation disappeared. The giants of the Immortal Period died one after another. From then on, the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth declined, and there was chaos in the martial arts world. At that time, countless sects collapsed, many powerful forces were destroyed, many magical powers were lost, and so did countless legendary martial arts manuals.

It wasn’t a great tribulation.

Countless stunning beings were unable to avoid the killing intent of heaven and earth, and they perished in the end.

That disaster had changed the world.

The prosperity of the Immortal Period had disappeared, and the six paths had collapsed. This world’s order was then in chaos.

It happened only once, but the consequences were already so terrifying.

“If this happens again…”

Just thinking about it made Ding Hao shudder a little.

But now, he vaguely felt a hint of the killing intent of heaven and earth in this ocean.

Thinking of this, he seemed to understand why the Sea Clan made such a choice. They even gave up the ancient cities built by their ancestors. In the face of the killing intent of heaven and earth, they did have no way to resist. Not to mention the Sea Clan, even if all the living creatures on the Land of Divine Grace joined forces, they still couldn’t resist the power of heaven and earth.

Right at this moment-

Boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of rumbling sounds came from a distance.

Following that, the ground trembled violently, and the calm water suddenly became chaotic. About 10 kilometers away, rays of crimson brilliance suddenly rose into the sky from the dark sea, illuminating the surroundings. It was as if it were daytime. Only then did the marine fish and low-level sea beasts seem to have sensed the danger and swim wildly. Some of them rushed into the flames in a panic and turned to ashes.

“That’s magma… It’s the eruption of the underwater volcanoes!”

Ding Hao could tell in an instant.

The temperature of the surrounding seawater rose sharply, and in the blink of an eye, it became hot. A large number of low-level sea beasts and fish struggled and screamed before they died immediately. Since they had gotten used to the cold environment at the bottom of the sea, they could not survive under such a high temperature at all and were instantly boiled.

“Meow. Should I try some of them?” Evil Moon was a little hesitant. It had never eaten such natural seafood before.

Ding Hao ignored that dorky guy. After running his power a bit, the Yin and Yang Pisces Diagram on his back flashed. At the next moment, he came to the place where the crimson flames broke out. He was shocked when he saw the scene.

As far as the eye could see, there was a completely crimson sea of magma. The boiling magma spurted out from the ground and dyed half of the sea red. The temperature of the seawater was too high to cool down the magma, and it was like a sea of fire everywhere.

It was too terrifying.

Ding Hao’s Divine Senses had scanned this place less than a quarter of an hour ago. At that time, it was still a thick rocky mountain range.

In an instant, the place turned into a sea of magma.

Ding Hao stood thousands of meters away from the ground, and he saw that the crimson sea of magma was spreading wildly. In less than ten breaths, he could not find any unmelted rocks below. An abandoned city in the distance was instantly swallowed up by the boundless sea of fire.
