Chapter 1114: Contesting the Blood Sea (2/2)

“What do you think?” he carefully asked the snake in human form.

“It’ll be fine,” chuckled Carmine Eternal. She stood in front of the land of white bones and flared with bloody light, broadcasting the image of a bloody sea in the air. That instantly stilled the creatures stirring from the ground and they laid down again as disassembled skeletons.

“The Blood Sea is ahead of us and about to recede fully. We can still catch a wisp of its tail if we hurry.” Carmine Eternal suddenly looked forward with alarm. “Someone else is trying to capture it!”

Whoosh!

She streaked forward as a bloody shadow and vanished at the end of the land of white bone.

“Bridge of Forgetfulness!!” Lu Yun roared.

Boom!

The bridge barreled out of nowhere and set itself on the two sides of the land of white bone. Lu Yun and Qing Yu walked onto it and instantly passed through the domain.

When Carmine Eternal left, the creatures of the Blood Sea showed signs of awakening. However, they all shrank back again the moment the Bridge of Forgetfulness appeared.

No, not shrank back. They fled away.

In the eyes of the Blood Sea, the bridge was much more terrifying than Carmine Eternal!

……

“Arrogant cretin, how dare you try to take my Blood Sea!” The moment Carmine Eternal arrived at the end of the land of bones, she violently expanded her aura to call out to the Blood Sea.

Locked down in place, the bloody waters frothed and churned to break out of their restraints.

Carmine Eternal was only at empyrean realm and yet to recover her full strength. But within the Blood Sea, she was almost invincible.

The Blood Sea had been ready to recede gracefully, but an undefined power had trapped it and wanted to lead it in another direction. A tall and magnificent figure stood atop the Blood Sea, directing the boundless waters to an unknown land.

The body of water was so vast that it couldn’t be captured by any singular power. The figure on top of it wasn’t forcing it to bend to his will, but using its momentum upon departure to direct it into another world.

With Carmine Eternal on the scene, she immediately forced the Blood Sea out of its restraints and sent it roiling through the void.

“Vile spawn!” the figure cursed at seeing its target agitate with resistance. “How dare a tiny carmine snake ruin my plans?! Die!”

It pointed at Carmine Eternal, a gesture that expanded violently into a mountain that bore down on the snake.

“Just one moment, I get it! You’re the one who created the Blood Sea in Life Province of the world of immortals. You want to use that Blood Sea to claim the real Blood Sea here!” The truth of the matter suddenly struck Carmine Eternal and she also understood where the figure wanted to take the Blood Sea—to Life Province, the world of immortals!

But hot on the heels of her revelation, she realized with shock that her connection to the bloody waters had been severed by that point!

With nothing calling out to it anymore, the churning Blood Sea returned to its tranquil state and continued flowing to an unknown space. Meanwhile, Carmine Eternal was firmly suppressed in the void, blood oozing out of the corner of her lips.

Boom!

An enormous bridge rushed out of thin air, crashing down upon the shadowy figure.
