"Have you decided?" On the Spiritual Essence Star, the Dark Lord lowered his head and asked.
The Sage looked back at the stars and said, "We have no other choice. The fall of the Fiery Lord made me realize that we have underestimated this crisis. This is the most terrifying crisis that the Spiritual Essence Star Ocean has faced in the past ten million years. Now, we only have a sliver of hope.
We will not be destroyed. "
Behind him, the fourteen gods were equally determined. They wanted to use the divine item more than the Sage. They could not wait to take revenge. The death of their comrade was the greatest hatred in their hearts.
Now, every god was shouldering the responsibility of protecting the lives of the common people.
"In fact, if we were to go back in time, it has been at least ten million years since anyone used this godly item. Firstly, they were worried that it would leak out to the myriad of worlds and bring a calamity to the Spiritual Essence Starry Sea. Secondly, the Spiritual Essence Starry Sea had been peaceful for so many years.
If only that 'Celestial Emperor Lingsu' was still around … "
"That's right. He's the only Deity Emperor in our Essence Starry Sea for countless eras, but he disappeared mysteriously. He even took the Spirit Sword with him, leaving only the Essence Sword behind. If he's here, even the Epoch Heavenly Devil at his peak might not be his match.
During that time, he probably did not expect that the Spiritual Essence Star Ocean would face such a calamity. "
The reason why the Sage did not need Long Chen's help was because they had the Pure Sword.
"The Pure Sword has been guarding the Pure Starry Sea for thousands of years under the orders of the Pure Godly Emperor. No other destinable divine weapon can compare to it. We just need to wake it up and tell it what happened. But if the Pure Sword is born, then it will be destroyed."
If word of this gets out, someone will definitely come to snatch this ownerless Chaos Grade Creation Divine Artifact. "
"This is the sixth grade. In the myriad of worlds, only the Deity Emperors can use it."
In fact, none of them had seen the Pure Sword before.
This was a legend passed down by the elders. The Elemental Sword existed in the Elemental Sea, and the Elemental Sea was the first level forbidden zone on the Elemental Star. It meant that not even the three Divine Lords were qualified to approach it. The ancestral teachings were clear.
Even the sea would be sentenced to death.
In the entire Spirit Essence Galaxy, the two most precious items were the Genesis Level Nine-Nine Heaven Burning Secret Technique and the Sage's treasure. Both of them had barely reached the Genesis Level. Generally, only Demon Kings could possess Genesis Level items.
This time, the Ling Su Gods quickly landed on the Ling Su Great Star. There was no Qian Kun Teleportation Formation in the Sea of Essence, so they quickly flew in that direction.
Around the Essence Sea, there were terrifying seals that required at least ten Spirit Essence Godly Spirits to neutralize with their bloodlines before they could open the door to the Essence Sea. To everyone in the Spirit Essence Star Ocean, the Essence Sea was a paradise that no one could reach.
This trip to the Plain Sea, the Sage Monarch believed that he hadn't done anything wrong. If his ancestors still existed in this world, or if they still had consciousness, then they definitely wouldn't blame him.
In the blink of an eye, the entrance to the Sea of Essence appeared before him.
Of course, what they saw was a boundless wilderness, filled with the sounds of birds and the fragrance of flowers, extremely beautiful. This was not the true Sea of Essence.
"Is everyone ready?"
The sage asked.
"It's done."
The gods nodded.
Under the sage's control, the ground cracked open, and a round platform appeared. It was pure black, decayed, and mottled. At a glance, one could tell that this platform had existed underground for at least several million years.
Fifteen deities stepped onto the platform.
"We need ten gods to drip their divine blood into the Divine Nest," the sage said.
The so-called Divine Nest was, in fact, ten one-meter-tall black pillars on the platform. There was a hemispherical depression on the top of each pillar.
Among them, ten deities stepped forward. Everyone held their breaths.
In their entire lives, they had never seen a true 'Chaos Grade' creation artifact. What would it look like?
That was a Chaos Grade creation artifact.
At the same time, the gods dripped their divine blood into the Divine Nest.
The divine blood quickly fused with the black pillars, which shone with a hazy black light. Then, the black light started to vibrate. The black light distorted in the air, forming a line of words.
"If there is no calamity that will lead to the destruction of the entire race, those who enter the Essence Sea will atone for their sins with death."
This was the warning of their ancestors.
There had to be a calamity that would lead to the destruction of the entire race before the 'Essence Sword' could be activated.
"Go in."
The sage shouted. They had to end this quickly. After all, this was an opportunity. If the Epoch Heavenly Demon came out early and they were still in the Essence Sea, it would be even more troublesome.
The Essence Sea opened.
They disappeared from the black round platform.
The world was finally peaceful.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the Essence Sea.
"This place is … so beautiful …"
Everyone was stunned. In front of them was an extremely beautiful place. This was the Essence Sea. The Essence Sea was not large. It was like a lake, and around the lake was a small piece of land.
On the land around the lake, there were all kinds of mystical immortal essences. This was the most precious treasure land. Everything here was a treasure. Those that released dense immortal qi were all Primordial Chaos immortal essences. Those that looked like gems and pearls on the ground were all chaos treasures.
Treasures.
The entire Essence Sea was densely packed with such treasures.
Even the surface of the lake was covered with a layer of white crystals, releasing a majestic power.
"This is an Essence Core … It is also a type of chaos treasure. Some of these Essence Cores are of the Death grade, while others are of the Dream grade …"
Although the gods were knowledgeable, they were still stunned when they first came to the Essence Sea. This was simply a god's paradise. With so many treasures, they were very moved. Especially those Primordial Chaos immortal essences. Many of them were worth more than what they had.
Destinable artifacts.
"Don't forget our mission. Don't be greedy."
The sage warned.
Truth be told, with so many treasures, even he was tempted. Legend had it that the Essence Sea was a treasure trove left behind by the only Essence Starry Sea that was born tens of millions of years ago. Seeing it today, it seemed to be true. In fact, there were even more treasures hidden underground.
It was so densely packed that it was almost maddening.
The gods were breathing heavily.
They were influenced by their ancestor's teachings and knew that these belonged to the Essence Divine Emperor. No one knew where the Essence Divine Emperor was now, and there were strict rules. No one dared to touch these treasures, especially the sage. He knew that he had to be strict with the gods. Otherwise, he would be defeated.
Because of the countless treasures in the Essence Sea, the Essence Sea would be plunged into internal strife and war. If news of this leaked out, it would lead to a raid by other worlds.
That would be even more terrifying.
"Everyone, remember not to forget your original intention. Everything here is not something we can control. It belongs to our ancestor, the Essence Divine Emperor. Now that the Essence Sea is about to be destroyed, we have to know how much we are worth. We don't have the ability to own these things.
So, please calm down. "
The sage had to remind them like this.
Because there were so many treasures in front of them, even he could not calm down. However, he knew that before he had the ability, these were not treasures but disasters.
"Understood."
The gods were still calm. They took a deep breath.
The sage now understood the reason behind the ancestor's teachings. If they barged into the Essence Sea before the disaster, there would be a storm of blood.
They only told the juniors that there was a Primordial Chaos Grade Essence Sword left behind by the Essence Divine Emperor.
Now, the gods stood in front of the lake and bowed sincerely. With the sage as the leader, he said, "The Essence Sea is in great trouble. The Essence Divine Emperor that was sealed thousands of years ago has come. He wants to devour the lives of the Essence Sea to recover his strength. Now, the calamity has begun.
Three gods have already fallen, including a god. We can't stop him. I hope the Essence Sword can appear and save the world. "
With that, he took the lead and knelt on the ground.
For millions of years, it was the people who knelt to him. He had never knelt to others.
The gods held their breaths, waiting for the Essence Sword to descend.
In the blink of an eye, the entire Essence Sea turned milky white like milk. It was smooth, natural, and peaceful.
Soon, the sea of essence rippled in front of the excited hearts of the gods. Multicolored light unfolded, and in a daze, the gods saw a multicolored butterfly break out of its cocoon and spread its multicolored wings. Its beauty was simply indescribable.
The butterfly was shrouded in the colorful light. It was like a dream.
At this moment, a young man's voice came from the light. Although the voice was young like a child, the tone was very mature.
"Everyone, what happened in the Essence Sea? Tell me in detail."
The gods understood that this must be the Primordial Chaos Grade Essence Sword.
He was the Essence Sword, and the Essence Sword was him.
The sage was very respectful. He lowered his head and quickly told the butterfly everything that happened. After that, the sage added, "Senior Essence Sword, the Essence Divine Emperor is very powerful. I believe you have heard of it. We took the risk to enter the Essence Sea this time because we hope that you can help us.
I hope Senior can come out and help us resolve this crisis. Although it is risky, the lives of the common people are more important. I hope Senior can agree … "
The butterfly did not reply for a long time.
When the gods started to panic, the butterfly said, "The Ling Su Celestial Emperor ordered me to guard this place to protect all of you. Now that the Ling Su Celestial Emperor is dead, her heritage is scattered everywhere. My strength is no longer what it used to be. However, since the Ling Su Celestial Ocean is in trouble, I will take her place."
Hearing this, the deities finally relaxed.
However, what made them depressed was that the Essence Divine Emperor was dead. The Essence Divine Emperor did not have any Deity Tribulations, and her cultivation was so strong. It was hard to believe that she would die.
Just as the gods summoned the Essence Sword, Lingxi opened a small hole in the outermost array diagram, allowing Long Chen and the rest to return to the Essence Sea.
