Peerless Dragon Sovereign-Chapter 651: Waters of the Sea of Suffering

The Dragon Beast spoke at this moment: "Xiao Long is connected to the master's soul, so I can be sure that the master has not been possessed by Qiu Huang."

Seeing even the Dragon Beast saying this, Lu Daochang finally let go of his worries. He sighed and said, "I really didn't expect Qiu Huang to just die like this."

Through the ebb and flow of time, Qiu Huang has existed since the division of the two realms and had even once joined the Ancestor Sect.

After the realms split, taking advantage of the disappearance of all the powerful figures, Qiu Huang occupied the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, which even a Heavenless Realm expert might not possess, establishing what was recognized as the so-called oldest faction.

Standing firm in the southern desert, it almost single-handedly matched the Royal Family and Strong Races of the Qin Kingdom, leaving them helpless. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Yet ironically, to cling to this Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, he sacrificed everything, even his life.

After this battle, this once terrifying force, able to contend with the Royal Family, was left with only Jiang Meier as a strong figure; the rest were all dead.

If this news were to spread, who knows what kind of sensation it would cause.

However, the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall hadn't opened, and aside from Jiang Meier, no one could spread this news.

"Sect Leader, since Qiu Huang is dead, we should now see the Supreme Treasure of this Desolate Ancient Holy Hall." Chu Nan's eyes gleamed with excitement, even though he couldn't help it at this moment.

Before the division of the two realms, the Ancestor Sect had jointly built three Heaven-grade Holy Halls.

Among them, the True Martial Holy Hall collected countless Cultivation Techniques and Martial Dao from the lower realm, while the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall gathered countless Spirit Martial.

Chu Nan had already acquired a Holy-grade item here.

If placed elsewhere in the Celestial Crossing Realm, it would have been unthinkable.

Besides Emperor Martial and Holy Martial, the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall also possessed, perhaps, the only item in the entire Celestial Crossing Realm capable of traversing the Endless Sea of Suffering.

Lu Daochang's purpose for coming to the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall this time was precisely for this!

Chu Nan's mind moved, connecting with the Eye of Wild Flame behind him; this device was the core of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, and through it, all information about this Holy Hall could be known.

The Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, a Heaven-grade Spirit Martial, contained a total of 360 Spiritual Martial Spaces, cleverly aligned with the mysteries of the cosmos.

Each of these 360 Spiritual Martial Spaces concealed a piece of Spirit Martial, most of them Emperor Martial, but quite a few were Holy Martial too.

They varied widely, some being incredibly powerful, while others possessed bizarre and special abilities.

For instance, Chu Nan's Golden Sun Bloodbath Sword was one of the extremely formidable Spirit Martial.

However, at this moment, Chu Nan couldn't unleash its full power.

Although Chu Nan used the True Martial Holy Hall to force the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall to recognize him as the master, just like the True Martial Holy Hall, he couldn't wield its full capability, and most spaces could not be opened.

He still needed to rely on his strength as the Hall Master to pass the trials required to obtain them.

With his current cultivation, he must pass the trials to acquire the Spirit Martial.

With a thought, Chu Nan quickly found the space hiding the Spirit Martial capable of crossing the Endless Sea of Suffering with the help of the Eye of Wild Flame.

A portal opened in front of the two men and the dragon, and Chu Nan said, "Sect Leader, according to the information from the Eye of Wild Flame, this Desolate Ancient Holy Hall indeed has a piece of Emperor-grade Spirit Martial capable of crossing the Sea of Suffering!"

Hearing this, excitement immediately appeared on Lu Daochang's face.

The two realms are hard to cross due to the Endless Sea of Suffering separating them. The depth of this sea is unknown and too vast to fly over; even feathers can't float, and ships can't pass through.

If touched by the waters of the Sea of Suffering, one's cultivation would be sealed.

This Endless Sea of Suffering is an absolute dead end for the martial artists of the Celestial Crossing Realm, blocking countless extraordinary geniuses.

"Finally, the moment has come!" Lu Daochang did not care about the treasures of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall; he only hoped to cross the Sea of Suffering, reach the Heavenly Balance Realm, and advance to the Unity Realm.

This was both for his martial path to reach greater heights and to extend his life, as Lu Daochang's lifespan was nearing its end.

Chu Nan led one man and one dragon through the portal into a new space.

The sound of rushing water slapping against stones was heard as soon as they stepped in, and a cold wind blew towards them, causing their clothes to rustle.

The Dragon Beast's golden pupils showed a curious look as it exclaimed, "Master, look, it's a creek."

Chu Nan looked at the rushing stream in front of him with a strange expression in his eyes.

This space wasn't large; besides the riverbank, there was only a stream about a dozen meters wide.

Across the stream was a forest with no end in sight, and a small boat was tied on the shore, swaying with the waves.

Chu Nan once again merged his consciousness with the Eye of Wild Flame, and suddenly a realization came to him: "Sect Leader, look quickly. The Eye of Wild Flame informs me that the seemingly ordinary small boat is the treasure capable of crossing the Endless Sea of Suffering."

"But the way to obtain it is strange, or rather, too simple."

"The Eye of Wild Flame tells me that all we have to do is reach the other side of the stream to get that boat. Sect Leader, do you think there might be any traps here?"

After speaking, Chu Nan looked at Lu Daochang, only to find his lips suddenly turning pale, trembling slightly, his eyes vacant, with a hint of despair.

This was a look Chu Nan had never seen before, not even when facing Qiu Huang at his peak. He had never shown such despair tinged with fear.

"Sect Leader... what's wrong?" Chu Nan asked curiously.

"Ah?" Lu Daochang snapped back slightly, his face showing sorrow, and laughed maniacally, "Can't cross, can't cross anymore!"

"There's no way, no way to reach the Heavenly Balance Realm; we're all going to be trapped in the Celestial Crossing Realm, never to leave."

It seemed Lu Daochang had been greatly provoked, appearing almost deranged.

The Dragon Beast, seeing this, said angrily, "Old fool, why are you acting crazy? Such a simple test, I, Xiao Long, can clear it in no time."

Even though she looked like a girl, the words spoken by the Dragon Beast were nothing like a girl's.

She suddenly flew towards the stream, intending to cross it and retrieve the little boat.

The moment she flew up, Lu Daochang shouted in alarm, "Don't... don't go!"

But it was too late; the Dragon Beast quickly reached the edge of the stream. The distance of over ten meters was too short for her to even think of it.

Just then, there was a splash, and the Dragon Beast, who was flying in the air, suddenly fell into the stream.

She floundered in the water, as if she had lost all strength.

"What's happening, I, Xiao Long, can't fly anymore? Where's my strength, where's my cultivation?"

"Master, save me, Xiao Long can't swim~"

As those words fell, the Dragon Beast, having transformed back into her original form, did not reach the length of dozens of miles, but only a mere one or two meters, shrunk to resemble a crocodile.

Seeing the mighty Eight-layered Heaven Dragon Beast about to drown in the creek, Chu Nan acted decisively, grabbing the Dragon Beast's tail that landed on the shore and pulling her up.

Lu Daochang then said, "No wonder, the creek water is actually the water from the Sea of Suffering~"
