"There are a total of eight entrances to the Supreme Shadow Demon World, corresponding to the eight Demon Domains. I vaguely remember that one of the entrances is not far from the Moon Demon Cave." Han Yunxing said as they approached the Shattered Star Sea.
This could be said to be the northernmost place of the three Emperor Domains. There was snow and ice everywhere. They were about to reach the edge of the continent, but what they encountered wasn't an ocean, but a starry sky.
After advancing for a while, a vast starry sky appeared in front of Long Chen. This was the Shattered Star Domain. Long Chen stood rooted to the spot. In front of him was a pitch-black starry sky. Countless stars of various sizes were twinkling, emitting a beautiful blue radiance.
From the perspective of the starry sky, the Dragon Sacrificial Continent was like a huge piece of land floating in the starry sky. This huge snowfield was the edge of the land.
Long Chen hadn't thought that the Dragon Sacrificial Continent existed in such a form.
No wonder Han Yunxing said that the Shattered Star Domain was connected to the Milky Way in the sky. The Milky Way poured down and brought the stars into the void around the Dragon Sacrificial Continent.
The vast stars were floating in the sky.
"The entire Dragon Sacrificial Continent is actually surrounded by the Shattered Star Sea. The Shattered Star Sea that separates the three Emperor Domains is actually like a huge river in the middle of the continent. If we want to go to the Sword Spirit Emperor Domain or the Desolate Emperor Domain, we have to cross the Shattered Star Sea. The Shattered Star Sea in front of us is endless. One of the nine realms, the Supreme Shadow Demon Domain, is in this Shattered Star Sea." Nangong Lie said excitedly.
There would be no lack of battles in the Supreme Shadow Demon Domain. Every battle was what a martial arts fanatic like him yearned for.
Of course, the most important thing for Long Chen was to figure out what exactly happened to Yang Lingqing.
"Let's move forward."
Nangong Lie smiled and was the first to step into the Shattered Star Sea. Han Yunxing and Long Chen looked at each other and also entered. Nangong Lie and Han Yunxing protected Long Chen in the middle, making it easier to protect him.
As soon as he entered the Shattered Star Sea, Long Chen felt a very mysterious feeling. As he advanced, the Dragon Sacrificial Continent behind him got further and further away. This huge continent gave Long Chen a rather shocking feeling. He finally realized what kind of place he usually stayed in.
In the Shattered Star Sea, everything was empty. Even the Emperor Spiritual Qi was getting thinner and thinner.
"No one knows what lies beyond the Shattered Star Sea beyond the Dragon Sacrificial Continent. Because the further away from the Dragon Sacrificial Continent, the thinner the emperor spiritual energy is. Throughout history, many people have brought enough divine crystals to explore, but basically, no one has ever come back alive. Even if they come back alive, they just didn't go far. Therefore, many people have fantasies about what the world beyond the Shattered Star Sea is like. For example, I'm also very interested." Nangong Lie wasn't just a man with muscles. His brain was also filled with a lot of things.
"The outside world."
Long Chen looked at the vast starry sky. At the same time, he also had a desire to explore. If the entire incomparably huge Dragon Sacrificial Continent was completely surrounded by the Shattered Star Sea, then what was outside the Shattered Star Sea?
"The entrance to the Supreme Demon World and the other eight Qiankun Worlds are actually inside the Dragon Sacrificial Continent or near the Dragon Sacrificial Continent. It's definitely not too far away. We don't dare to go any further." Nangong Lie smiled bitterly.
"One day in the future, when we have nothing to worry about, we'll go to the world outside the Shattered Star Sea to take a look." Han Yunxing suddenly interjected.
"Very good." Nangong Lie smiled warmly.
Following the direction in Han Yunxing's memory, the three of them shuttled through the vast starry sky. Those big and small stars in the distance would shoot past them from time to time. The smallest of those stars were only Shattered Stars, while the smallest was almost the size of a person. The biggest one Long Chen saw was over a hundred miles wide. If one were to be hit by such a Shattered Star, it would definitely not feel good. After all, such Shattered Stars also possessed great power.
The further they advanced, the smaller the Dragon Sacrificial Continent became, and the more Long Chen could see the whole picture. When he turned around, he saw that the Dragon Sacrificial Continent was shrouded in a layer of golden clouds and mist. Within the clouds and mist, the shape of a dragon could be vaguely seen, proving who was the ruler of this continent in ancient times.
Divine Dragon.
"With our current speed, it'll probably take us a day to reach our destination. Of course, this is under the condition that we don't encounter any accidents," Han Yunxing said.
"What do you mean by accidents?" Long Chen asked modestly.
"There are still many dangers in the Shattered Star Domain. First, there's the ever-present astral energy that can't be seen by the naked eye. However, if you stay here for a long time, you won't be able to survive without a strong body. In addition, there are many warriors in the Shattered Star Domain who specialize in killing and robbing. Because of the huge profits, it's very popular. These are the so-called 'Star Bandits'. There are many of them in the Shattered Star Domain, and some have even formed gangs with very powerful forces. Our Imperial Palace's trial battles sometimes target these Star Bandits. There are weak and strong Star Bandits, and if you're unlucky, you might encounter those super experts."
Han Yunxing didn't say anything, so Nangong Lie, who was beside him, chuckled and continued Long Chen's words.
At this moment, Han Yunxing said, "These two things don't affect us much, but there's a danger that's very troublesome. It's called the 'Shattered Star Turbulence'. This Shattered Star Turbulence is made up of countless violent stars that collide with each other in the Shattered Star Domain at a terrifying speed. It's like a Cosmic Beast. Even if it's us, if we're swept into the Shattered Star Turbulence, if we're lucky, we'll be transferred to another location. If we're unlucky, we might be seriously injured."
Long Chen took a deep breath. The so-called Shattered Star Turbulence could even seriously injure experts like Han Yunxing and Nangong Lie. It was naturally very terrifying. If Long Chen encountered it, it would be very troublesome for him.
"Of course, the probability of the Shattered Star Turbulence appearing is very low. Otherwise, no one would dare to walk in the Shattered Star Domain," Nangong Lie said with a smile.
Hearing this, Long Chen heaved a sigh of relief.
It would be best if he could reach the Supreme Shadow Demon World safely and understand the situation there.
Along the way, they talked about some unimportant things, mainly about Yang Lingqing. When it came to Li Xuanji, Han Yunxing suddenly frowned and said, "I've heard a little about this."
"I'd like to hear more about it." Long Chen didn't know anything about the Supreme Shadow Demon World.
"I'd like to introduce the Supreme Shadow Demon World to you. The Supreme Shadow Demon World's strength is considered average among the Nine Realms. It can't be compared to the Zhenwu Imperial Domain and the Swordspirit Imperial Domain. However, it's still very powerful. There are many experts who have surpassed the Divine Martial Realm."
Nangong Lie continued, "Yes, the power structure of the Supreme Shadow Demon World is different from that of the Zhenwu Imperial Domain. It doesn't have a unified power like the Imperial Palace. The highest existence in the Supreme Shadow Demon World is the Boundary Lord. He is mysterious and high above, dominating everything. No one knows where the Boundary Lord is, and basically, only a few people know who the Boundary Lord is. Only when something really big or important happens, the Boundary Lord will appear. I still don't know who the Boundary Lord is."
"The Supreme Shadow Demon World is divided into eight Demon Realms. The eight Demon Realms are ruled by eight rulers. The ruler of each Demon Realm is known as the Realm Emperor. Each Realm Emperor is very powerful and can be considered the strongest expert below the Realm Lord. In each Demon Realm, there are one, a few, or a dozen important forces, or those families that have existed since ancient times, or peak sects. Basically, the forces that are ranked have the existence of a Realm King. A Realm King is the expert below the Realm Emperor. There are more than 50 Realm Kings in the Supreme Shadow Demon World, and even as many as 70 Realm Kings. However, Realm Kings, Realm Emperors, and Realm Lords are all existences that have surpassed the Divine Martial Realm. They are much stronger than us." Han Yunxing's eyes were filled with awe.
"There are nearly a hundred experts that have surpassed the Divine Martial Realm …" Long Chen was a little speechless. The Supreme Shadow Demon World was only one of the twelve major forces in the Dragon Sacrificial Continent, and they already had nearly a hundred experts that had surpassed the Divine Martial Realm and reached the legendary Retribution Realm. Among the twelve major forces, there were still many experts that surpassed the Supreme Shadow Demon World. This meant that the number of experts that surpassed the Divine Martial Realm in the entire Dragon Sacrificial Continent must have exceeded more than two thousand people. The number of experts that the three Imperial Palaces possessed was definitely beyond Long Chen's imagination.
After all, in terms of strength, the combined strength of the Nine Realms was probably about the same as the three domains.
"Recently, I heard that something major happened in the Supreme Shadow Demon World." While Long Chen was silent and shocked, Nangong Lie suddenly said.
"What's the matter?" Long Chen asked.
"Among the eight great demon domains of the Supreme Shadow Demon World, one of the Demon Domain's World Monarch died because he failed to cross the Nirvana Tribulation. He should be the Profound Yin Demon Domain's World Monarch. It's very common for experts that have surpassed the Divine Martial Realm to die while crossing the tribulation. However, after the World Monarch died, the inheritance of the World Monarch became vacant. Only those who meet the conditions set by the Realm Lord can compete for the inheritance and become the new World Monarch. This World Monarch represents a kind of identity. As for strength, as long as one obtains the World Monarch's Deity Seat, under the Realm Lord's nurturing, one will eventually become the new World Monarch in the future." Nangong Lie explained.
Long Chen roughly understood that this was the competition rule of the Supreme Shadow Demon World. After the World Monarch failed to cross the tribulation, because the World Monarch's Deity Seat was a heaven-defying thing that countless people yearned for, it would definitely cause a huge commotion because of the competition.
Long Chen had two questions in his heart, and he asked them one by one.
