Chapter 1410: Heavenly Venerable Rotating Sea

## Chapter 1413: The Heavenly Venerate's Sea of Bitterness

Ye Fan unleashed a volley of a hundred arrows, each imbued with powerful ancient techniques that tore through the cosmos. They shattered the Blood Beast, its blood staining the world crimson.

Ye Fan stood, bow in hand, his expression cold as he gazed at the blood mist and shattered bones, before turning his attention to the other ancient ships.

The Blood Beast let out a roar, its primordial spirit soaring skyward, attempting to re-condense its flesh, blood, and shattered bones to reform itself.

Unfortunately, it had no chance. Ye Fan unleashed a final arrow, swift as lightning amidst surging wind and thunder, which directly pierced and pulverized the crimson primordial spirit!

With a final, desperate roar of unwilling rage, the Blood Beast was utterly annihilated, body and spirit.

Everyone's heart tensed. Ye Fan's methods were clear for all to see; slaying the Blood Beast with a hundred arrows forced others to heightened vigilance, marking him as a dangerous individual.

First, the Golden Snake Second Young Master slew the Golden Giant in a hundred moves, and now Ye Fan's hundred arrows brought the Blood Beast to its demise. Both were exceedingly brilliant and astonishing feats, making even other Supremes wary.

The Devouring Beast and Gold-Eating Beast wore cold expressions. As fellow ancient beasts, they had watched helplessly as the Blood Beast was slain, unable to intervene in time. Their moods were as dark as stagnant water.

These two were far stronger than the Blood Beast, for they were legendary rare exotic beasts. One was said to be capable of devouring the heavens, a rarity since ancient times, while the other consumed various divine materials, even immortal gold, ceaselessly strengthening itself.

The two mightiest ancient beasts fixed their cold gazes on Ye Fan. Although they felt a certain wariness towards him, they still intended to make a move and slay him!

Possessing the strongest ancient beast bloodlines, once they reached full maturity, they would undoubtedly become supreme Beast Venerates, capable of slaying primeval gods and demons—a terrifying prospect.

"You do have some skills. You and I shall continue our battle!" The Golden Snake Second Young Master made the first move, his forked tongue hissing. His eyes, glinting with sharp, venomous light, scanned Ye Fan as his golden serpentine body slithered forward.

He was naturally unconvinced. Their battle had not concluded when the Blood Beast interrupted their duel. A thorn had always remained in his heart: his physical body was inferior to Ye Fan's, and he yearned to suppress and slay him with ancient techniques.

While Ye Fan's slaying of the Blood Beast was indeed a powerful deterrent, it was clearly not enough to truly subdue these Supremes.

This was because each of them possessed immense confidence and grace. They hailed from different ancient domains, each the mightiest on their respective ancient paths, and none would retreat from the Emperor Road without a true battle.

The Divine Race Heavenly Maiden, Xin Lan, spoke, "Everyone, what is the point of this? There are numerous dangers ahead. We should join forces now and cross this sea together, rather than fighting to the death here."

"I believe some individuals ought to be cleared out; I won't tolerate them being an eyesore on the path!" the Golden Snake Second Young Master said icily, his golden serpentine body coiling.

"Exactly, it's time for a decisive end," the Devouring Beast and Gold-Eating Beast, both supreme powerhouses, declared, pressing forward.

Ye Fan said nothing, simply raising his great bow, which emitted monstrous killing intent. Pang Bo's vital energy surged, his combat power soaring, his long hair dancing wildly and his eyes like cold lightning, ready for a bloody battle.

"Everyone, please calm down. This is not the time for infighting; otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable," the Divine Race Heavenly Maiden Xin Lan said coldly.

She spoke unhurriedly, stating a clear fact: Gray Dragon, Golden Toad, and several other Great Sages might be waiting ahead, poised to capture them all and seize their fortunes.

Xin Lan, possessing vast divine powers, had discerned part of the truth behind the looming killing intent.

The Old Divine Master had deduced that some of the young Supremes might possess great fortunes, which had attracted the attention of Golden Toad, Heavenly Dog, and several other Great Sages. They might make a move to kill them and seize their blessings.

"Are we afraid of those old geezers? We'll slaughter every single one of them in the future!" the Golden Snake Second Young Master sneered, as a corner of a formation diagram appeared above his head, radiating immense divine might like a brilliant golden Teng Snake.

"Killing the Human Race Saint Body first won't affect our subsequent cooperation," the Gold-Eating Beast said grimly, its metallic body radiating a cold luster.

As the journey continued, young Supremes would gradually fall. Competitors on the Emperor Road were inherently hostile to one another, not wishing anyone to obstruct their path, making the elimination of rivals the optimal choice.

Boom!

Suddenly, a terrifying fluctuation rippled through the Sea of Suffering. An unparalleled battle had erupted ahead, with monstrous purple energy and overwhelming divine might, as if an ancient god were awakening.

The young Supremes, who had been on the verge of a bloody battle, all trembled, stopped, and gazed into the distance.

A Peng shrieked through the sky. A colossal Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng soared there, striking across the nine heavens. Its wings, like clouds draped across the sky, seemed to engulf the entire world as it ascended ninety thousand li.

It was a terrifying sight. This Golden Peng was exceedingly powerful, a Great Sage, and indeed, it was the Beast Venerate who accompanied Gray Dragon, Golden Toad, and Heavenly Dog.

He had encountered immense trouble. From within the monstrous purple mist, a pair of icy eyes fixed upon him, and a figure, chilling to the bone and resembling an ancient corpse, emerged.

The Golden Peng shrieked, its colossal divine wings rending the sky, causing the vast sea to surge. Tsunamis furiously crashed against the heavens, as if the world were collapsing.

However, the monstrous purple mist engulfed even the golden light, and that blurry figure surged forth to confront the Golden Peng in an incredibly brutal battle.

In mere moments, golden Peng blood began to spill, like a torrential downpour onto the black Sea of Suffering, triggering various ominous phenomena.

"Who is that? He injured a peak Great Sage in just ten moves and is highly likely to kill him. What... what is his origin!?"

The young Supremes were all struck with terror. Even with their boundless potential, formidable inheritances, and rare ancient secret treasures, their hearts pounded with dread.

That was a Golden-Winged Great Peng, a formidable Great Sage. Yet, at this moment, it was being utterly suppressed and beaten, in an entirely passive position, very likely to perish.

"It's him!"

Pang Bo's expression turned grim. He had seen a pair of purple eyes and bursts of brilliant purple light within the mist, reminding him of the ancient corpse that had floated in the sea not long ago.

"That's right, it's him!" Ye Fan, possessing the world's unique Heaven's Origin Eye, which could see through illusions, had clearly seen the terrifying figure within the purple mist.

The purple glow emanated from its eyes, while the purple mist was its internal vital blood energy, intensely rigid and powerful, like a terrifyingly overwhelming Heavenly God.

This was an ancient Great Sage with Tyrant Blood flowing within, its might monstrous and terrifying beyond compare. The Great Peng, originally a supreme powerhouse among its peers due to its unique racial bloodline advantage, was utterly outmatched.

Yet, at this moment, it was utterly outmatched, resembling an ordinary large bird being hunted, covered in blood, with one golden divine wing nearly torn off.

This was a supremely powerful Tyrant Body, rare even in ancient times, that had been dead for tens of thousands of years and had revived for unknown reasons. Although it possessed no specific techniques or ancient arts, its supreme physique caused even gods and demons to tremble, forcing the Golden-Winged Great Peng to wail in agony, utterly no match.

"Is this a perfected Tyrant Body?" Ye Fan murmured to himself, his eyes flickering. Once this bloodline matured, it could truly command gods and demons, becoming supremely invincible.

The Golden-Winged Great Peng flapped its wings, soaring straight into the blue clouds, attempting to ascend into the universe and escape this Sea of Suffering.

However, it had no chance. The supreme potential of the Heavenly Tyrant Bloodline was unparalleled throughout history, rarely encountering a rival in the world, which was precisely why it was known as the Saint Body's archenemy.

This was a Great Sage's corpse. At this moment, the purple Heavenly Tyrant Blood surged like thunder, releasing immortal power. It shot skyward and seized the Great Peng.

With a tearing sound, blood splattered like a torrential downpour as the ancient corpse's Tyrant Body ripped off one of the Heavenly Peng's golden wings, an incredibly bloody and brutal act.

"Ah..."

The ancient Heavenly Peng screamed, filled with despair. The ancient corpse had seized it, and it could no longer break free, as if the most terrifying god or demon was grappling with its physical body.

The Tyrant Body's eyes were cold, flashing with purple light. With a forceful pull, it tore the ancient Heavenly Peng in half. Its primordial spirit, which had just emerged, was instantly crushed in a single grasp, turning to dust.

The Sea of Suffering fell silent, save for the golden Peng blood that continued to fall. The two halves of the corpse plunged with a thud into the black ocean, stirring up monstrous waves.

"He's a corpse, yet he revived, gradually regaining his peerless combat power from when he was alive. How is this happening?" the Divine Race Heavenly Maiden Xin Lan murmured to herself, her expression solemn.

The more than a dozen young Supremes were all terrified. Not long ago, they had briefly glimpsed an ancient corpse floating in the sea, never imagining it would revive now.

"He drifts in the Sea of Suffering, submerged by its waters, like an enforcer. He revives when needed, wielding his full combat power from life," said Sang Gu, a descendant of the primeval gods and demons.

After an unknown period, the pair of cold and terrifying purple eyes vanished, the mist dispersed, and the mighty Heavenly Tyrant Body submerged back into the Sea of Suffering, disappearing from sight.

After this ordeal, the more than a dozen young Supremes fell silent. No one made a move again. The four Young Masters of the Golden Snake Race, Sang Gu, the Devouring Beast, and others all set off, moving forward.

"Something is strange..." Ye Fan muttered.

"This Sea of Suffering is too mysterious and utterly too vast. Look, stars are constantly falling in the distance; it's vaster than an entire starfield!" Pang Bo exclaimed.

They had never seen such a boundless sea, comparable to a vast starfield, capable of devouring all stars, like an ancient universe in the process of evolution.

The dozen-plus individuals advanced separately, without further combat, all carefully heading towards the site where the Golden-Winged Great Peng had fallen, hoping to observe the situation from a distance.

"That is..." Everyone was shocked.

At the center of that boundless sea, there was an incredibly powerful, sacred, and divine vital energy, steaming like immortal radiance and gushing forth from the depths, causing one's pores to relax even from a great distance.

At the sea's core was a colossal spring, appearing as a mere spring eye relative to the vast Sea of Suffering, yet to the onlookers, it was larger than any true lake or sea.

It surged up from the deep seafloor, sacred and peaceful, filled with pure white radiance—true immortal power that instilled a feeling of imminent ascension.

It was too resplendent, exceptionally peaceful, supremely divine and sacred, like the morning dew divine liquid of an immortal realm surging forth, incredibly dazzling and brimming with vitality.

"This is an immortal spring, capable of resurrecting the dead and regaling flesh to bare bones!"

They finally understood why the Golden-Winged Great Peng had appeared here: it must have been drawn by this immortal spring. It had sought to enter the spring's depths, only to encounter a deadly calamity.

Not only were Ye Fan and Pang Bo moved, but Xin Lan, Sang Gu, the Devouring Beast, and others from another direction were also shocked. The golden eyes of the four Young Masters of the Golden Snake Race flared even brighter.

"Within this desolate Sea of Suffering, there exists a divine spring. This is truly... bizarre and mysterious!" Pang Bo murmured.

"What did you say?!" Ye Fan was greatly startled upon hearing this, experiencing a sudden realization, a shock, almost verging on terror.

"I'm talking about the divine spring in the Sea of Suffering..." Pang Bo trailed off, falling into a daze himself before his expression shifted to one of shock.

"The Sea of Suffering... a divine spring... Could this possibly be someone's Sea of Bitterness?!" They exchanged glances, simultaneously making the same astonishing connection.

It was too similar. Even the name of this place was the Sea of Suffering. Perhaps this wasn't a mere designation, but a literal truth!

Evidently, Sang Gu, the Devouring Beast, the four Young Masters of the Golden Snake, and others also felt something, revealing expressions of shock as they carefully scrutinized the colossal divine spring.

"This... could it be the Sea of Bitterness of a Heavenly Venerate from the Mythological Era, transformed into this?"

Their voices trembled. This was akin to a fantastical tale: a human body's Sea of Bitterness so immense, vaster than the most expansive starfield, resembling an entire universe!

Heavenly Venerates were supreme beings on the level of ancient Great Emperors. However, in that era, the terms 'Great Emperor' or 'Ancient Sovereign' did not exist; they were revered as 'Heaven' or 'Dao.' Later generations referred to them as Heavenly Venerates or Dao Venerates.

An astounding realization!

This conjecture caused a violent tremor in the hearts of the more than a dozen young Supremes, their bodies uncontrollably trembling. What an astonishing, heaven-defying feat was this? It challenged the very limits of human imagination!

A Sea of Suffering as vast as the universe, where stars fell like mere dust, would, if true, be an event to shake all of history.

"There's likely an ancient weapon of Heavenly Venerate level here, nourished within the divine spring at the heart of the Sea of Suffering!" Ye Fan whispered.
