Jiang Yi was just about to say something when the Buddha Emperor waved his hand. “Jiang Yi, don’t bother arguing. You saved all of our lives. How can we just stand aside? Do you think that we would be able to do something like that? What’s more, we will stand strong if we stand together. We can figure out a solution together. We have to work together in order to have more hope of coming out unscathed. Or… do you think that we would burden you?”

“Of course not, Uncle, I did not mean that…” Jiang Yi quickly waved his hands around, trying to explain himself. The Buddha Emperor firmly said, “That’s it then! The East Imperial Continent is peaceful anyway. We will go into the Death God’s Dense Sea together.”

“Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing, too?” Jiang Yi rolled his eyes. What kind of person was the Buddha Emperor? How could he put his own daughter in harm’s way?

The Buddha Emperor smiled gently. “I cannot control my own daughter anymore. What’s more, everything has been predestined. Whatever happens, happens. If we perish inside, that is our fate. There is nothing more to say.”

Jiang Yi was completely speechless. The Buddha Emperor’s character was too strange. Ordinary people would not be able to understand him. The Yin Emperor started to say something, but at that moment, he caught sight of Yin Ruobing’s determined expression. In a low voice, he shouted, “Let’s go. We’ll all go.”

“Alright!”

Jiang Yi did not want to waste anymore time talking nonsense. He did not even want to persuade Jiang Xiaonu to sit out. This girl was so stubborn; Jiang Yi knew that nothing would convince her. If all else failed, they would all die together. At least they would not be alone.

“Hu-hu!”

Jiang Yi let out a huge sigh. For some reason, he felt like a thousand weights had been added to his back. Whether this group made it out alive or not was all dependent on him. The Buddha Emperor and the others had great battle skills, but they were not as good as him. His only hope was that they would win the number game.

The group rested for a while as the Buddha Emperor and Yi Chan updated them on the situation outside the Black Sea. Jiang Yi interrupted them and told them about how Ao Lu was not the mastermind for sure. The Yin Emperor was still bearing grudges, but his heart seemed to soften slightly toward Jiang Yi.

At least… Jiang Yi risked his life to come to the Black Sea to rescue them. This showed that he was a loyal man, not some sadistic, evil demon.

“If Ao Lu is not the mastermind, then who is it?”

The Yin Emperor frowned, confused. He thought that what Jiang Yi and Yi Chan said was logical. The Mystic Thearch kept a wisp of his soul spirit in the Mystic Divine Palace until the Mystic Divine Palace was passed down to Jiang Yi. This meant that he purposely let Ao Lu out of the palace. Someone like the Mystic Thearch could predict the future. Of course, he would not have allowed Ao Lu to go out and destroy humanity. What’s more, the Endless Deep Sea suffered huge losses as well. Ao Lu stood to gain nothing.

“Keke!”

The Buddha Emperor smiled and rubbed his bald head. “Let’s stop this guessing game. When we get back this time, I think the mastermind would have shown himself. I think that the Clan Head and the others have already figured it out. Yi Ruo, go back to the Buddha Mountain secretly and bring my command token. If anything happens on the continent, don’t resist. Even if someone intrudes the Yi Clan and tries to subdue it, just submit to them. Wait until we get back before you do anything. If someone asks where we are, just say that we’ve all perished.”

The Yin Emperor’s eyes lit up. The Yin Emperor, Night Emperor, and Xuan Emperor all took out their command tokens and handed them to a Demigod from their clan. The Xuan Emperor was more extreme. He instructed his Demigod to let Ling Qijian be the new Xuan Thearch and then inform the entire continent that the Xuan Thearch and Xuan Emperor were dead.

“Lure the snake out of the cave!”

Jiang Yi nodded subtly. This was a wise move. If so many thearchs had fallen, the mastermind would become even braver. They must be after something if they bothered to plan this entire catastrophe for such a long time. They might have been doing this to take control of the world. Thus, while all of them were in the Black Sea, the outside world might fly into a mess.

After the emperors left their instructions, Jiang Yi got Mei Ru to send a few Demigods back secretly. The rest remained in the Black Sea Palace for two days until Mei Ru returned. Then, they set off.

…

The Death God’s Dense Sea did not only refer to one mystic realm. Instead, it also included the sea region around the mystic realm. Jiang Yi and the others were confused at first, but when they arrived at the sea region six days later, they finally understood.

“Horrifying!”

“So scary!”

Both Yi Chan and Yi Ruobing trembled upon processing the scene in front of them. They were still at the boundaries of the Death God’s Dense Sea, but they could already see how frightening the entire place was.

In front of them was a huge whirlpool, which spanned more than three hundred kilometers. All around, the seawater kept spinning in circles. Aside from this, divine lightning struck down from the Nine Heavens above as well, right to the center of the whirlpool. The whirlpool seemed to stretch toward the sky, forming a tornado. Within the tornado were countless black clouds. One could only guess how poisonous the fog was.

Hu-hu-hu~

Jiang Yi and the others stood tens of kilometers away and observed the whirlpool as well as the tornado. They watched as the divine lightning struck down. At that moment, they realized that their own bodies were being pulled toward the center of the whirlpool. Although they were moving so slowly that they did not even realize they were moving at first, they were sure that they were moving!

All of them present were powerful. The lowest-skilled among them was a peak-stage Heaven Monarch. Yet, all of them were being moved uncontrollably? One could only imagine how strong the attractive force of the whirlpool was and how much stronger that force would be in the center of it. If a Heaven Fate Ship were to enter the whirlpool, it would surely be crushed to pieces.

Jiang Yi, Yi Chan, and Yin Ruobing exchanged a meaningful look. Buddha Emperor and the Yin Emperor looked at each other in shock as well. Even Mei Ru looked afraid. It was obvious that she was very unwilling to go near that region.

Hu, hu! Swish, swish! Boom, boom, boom!

The wind howled, the water crashed, and the thunder roared. This scene was one straight out of hell. At that moment, all the Demigods from the various clans were stunned. Jiang Yi quickly regained his composure. He turned to Mei Ru and asked, “Is the Death God’s Dense Sea below the whirlpool?”

Mei Ru nodded somberly. “Yes!”

“Everyone.”

The Mystic Divine Armor appeared around Jiang Yi’s body and the Fire Dragon Sword in his hand lit up. He stood upright as he said, “Go inside the Mystic Divine Palace. Once we enter the mystic realm, I will teleport all of you out. My defense is good. I will be at the front lines.”

“Alright!”

The Buddha Emperor was decisive, and he did not stand on ceremony. As he nodded, he said, “Young man, don’t act tough. Teleport us out the moment you meet with any danger. If you die, we will perish, too.”

“Jiang Yi, be careful!” Yin Ruobing called out, worried. Yi Chan turned to give Jiang Yi a deep, loving look.

“Hehe, don’t worry.”

Jiang Yi retrieved the Mystic Divine Palace and teleported everyone apart from Mei Ru into it. He turned to look at Mei Ru’s cool expression and then pointed to the middle of the whirlpool with his Fire Dragon Sword. “Mei Ru, pave the way.”

“My Lord…”

Mei Ru’s expression was filled with indignation and helplessness. She did not dare to go against Jiang Yi’s orders, but she feared the Death God’s Dense Sea to her very core. Thus, she had no choice but to throw a pitiful look at him.

Smash!

Jiang Yi waved the Fire Dragon Sword around and used the sword to smack Mei Ru on her full butt. Outraged, he shouted, “Are you going or not? If you’re not, you will die immediately.”

“I’ll… go!”

Mei Ru’s red lips trembled as she turned around and shot forward indignantly. Jiang Yi’s Mystic Divine Armor lit up a thousand times more as he followed closely behind her. The man and demon made their way through the sea, their swords pointed toward the middle of the whirlpool.

Hoo-Hoo!

The closer they got to the center of the Death God’s Dense Sea, the stronger the wind felt. By the time they got within a few kilometers of the middle, Jiang Yi found that he had totally lost control of his body. All he could do was wait as he got pulled closer into the center.

“This Chief wants you broken!”

Jiang Yi really did not like feeling out of control. He tightened his grip around his sword and tried to wave it around, causing the winds and clouds to stir. At that moment, he released the Divinity Slayer. Three Fire Dragons congealed in front of him, flying aggressively toward the tornado. He was going to destroy this tornado.
