Chapter 1289: Holy Gulf Continent

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Holy Gulf Continent was located in the far west of the Great Thousand World. In a sense, it was not a continent, but a unique space in the Lower Plane that connected it to the rest of the world.

In those ancient times, this Holy Gulf Continent was one of the critical battle areas between the Great Thousand World and the Extraterritorial Race. Therefore, in this Holy Gulf Continent, there were countless Sovereigns who had fallen there.

Even those Heavenly Sovereigns that fell there exceeded the number of fingers on both hands. Countless inheritances, Super Powers, and Sacred Artifacts had also been lost there for thousands of years.

There were just a handful of lucky people, who had managed to spirit away some of the inheritances. They then took these priceless items and used them to transform themselves from relative unknowns to reputable figures. Due to these successes, more and more powerful sovereigns were flocking to the area, hoping to be the next lucky ones to discover such a wealth of spoils!

However, although the Holy Gulf Continent contained many benefits and adventures, its perils were beyond imagination. The decisive battle of the ancient age had led to the space being extremely unstable, as within it, there existed all kinds of cruel and unexpected circumstances.

Even Complete Earthly Sovereigns would face devastating fates if they were careless. What was most dangerous was that, in this Holy Gulf Continent, the Extraterritorial Race would often emerge!

In the ancient times, the Holy Gulf Continent was occupied by the Extraterritorial Race. Therefore, they naturally held some space passageways and could enter the place at will.

Their purpose of entering into the Holy Gulf Continent was the same as that of many sovereigns in the Great Thousand World. And likewise, due to the decisive battle, many of their people had fallen here, too.

Therefore, the powerful beings of the Extraterritorial Race who broke into the Holy Gulf Continent were also trying to find the most powerful ones among their race who had fallen there. After which, they could obtain those inheritances and strengthen themselves.

Due to these many reasons, the Holy Gulf Continent instantly became a point of convergence between the Great Thousand World and the Extraterritorial Race. Once the formidable figures of both sides met in it, it would be a true life and death struggle! In a sense, the Holy Gulf Continent was now one of the front lines of the Great Thousand World and the Extraterritorial Race.

...

It took two months for Mu Chen and his party to get to the Holy Gulf Continent. The large amount of time that this distant journey had taken came as quite a shock to them all, even Mu Chen.

After all, the Scarlet Flame Deity had shuttled through space in his journey to this place! But, although Mu Chen's party's speed was not as fast as that of the Transfer Spiritual Array, it was more convenient, as they didn't need to search for the array.

”This is the Holy Gulf Continent?” Mu Chen asked, while he overlooked the place from his perch above a barren mountain.

Where his sight reached, the sky was dim, and the whole world seemed to be under some kind of extreme oppression. Between the heavens and the earth, the spiritual power had become somewhat obscure and was not as active as it was in the Great Thousand World. In such a place, it was clearly several times more difficult to absorb spiritual power from the heavens and the earth than in the Great Thousand World.

From time to time, in the distant world, there was a flicker of red thunder, which caused a crackling destruction of the earth to occur. The ferocious fluctuations contained in those crimson thunderstorms startled even the Earthly Sovereigns. The continent, as if it was in an extreme rage, was filled with crises.

”Once upon a time, this Holy Gulf Continent was actually a treasured place of practice, but after being occupied by the Extraterritorial Race, it was polluted by evil energy. Even though it had been purified many times by the Great Thousand World, it was still difficult for it to recover to its former peak.” Beside them, the Scarlet Flame Deity spoke with regret.

Mu Chen, Luo Li, Ling Xi and the others also sighed. That Extraterritorial Race was indeed an irrevocable mortal enemy of their vast Great Thousand World.

Their way of doing things was too overbearing, and when evil energy invaded them, it polluted even their spiritual energy. If this same pattern was to continue, the spiritual energy practitioners of the Great Thousand World would be completely cut off!

”Elder, is the Ancient Holy Gulf in the middle of this continent?” Mu Chen turned to him and asked.

The Scarlet Flame Deity nodded and said, ”This is just the outer part of the Holy Gulf Continent, but in the most central part of the continent, the space has been shattered and covered by space windstorms. So, we have to wait until the storms abate before I can send you in.”

When talking about the space windstorms, even a character like the Scarlet Flame Deity became instantly somber. Upon hearing that, Mu Chen and his party were astonished. They were shocked at how terrifying the space windstorms of the Holy Gulf Continent were!

”The destructive power of the space windstorms is a secondary concern, however, as the most troubling thing is that once one is caught in it, one would likely be randomly transmitted to the Extraterritorial Race's territory!” Looking at their faces, the Scarlet Flame Deity shook his head exasperatedly, then tried to explain further.

He said, ”This Holy Gulf Continent connects the Great Thousand World and the Extraterritorial Race. If one falls into the Extraterritorial Race, even a Heavenly Sovereign would face great danger. This happened many times in the past.”
