King of Creation Chapter 2206 - 2191: Living Creature in the Forbidden Land

The North Sea water demons led by the three Great Saints of Jinghai were already exposed during the last battle against the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun.

Ye Zhen worries that the Second Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Zhui Ri, upon arrival, might first clear away the water demons in the Blood River to eliminate hidden threats.

Although twenty thousand elite North Sea water demons are not many, they can alter the outcome of a battle at critical moments.

For this reason, Ye Zhen took precautions by having the three Great Saints of Jinghai find suitable hiding places in the Blood River early on.

They established water camps as a precaution and prepared safe waterways for retreat ahead of time, with multiple hiding places.

Therefore, during these days, the three Great Saints of Jinghai led the North Sea water demons on an exploration in the Blood River, discovering hiding spots and preparing escape routes.

After all, underwater and land are disconnected; with thorough preparations, they need not fear even if surrounded by armies.

In the early days, everything was normal—some hidden hiding spots were found, and several secret escape waterways were prepared.

But yesterday, a water demon accidentally stumbled upon an inconspicuous whirlpool at the river bottom and discovered a new realm.

However, this new realm beneath the Blood River whirlpool was extraordinarily strange, full of mysteries.

The three Great Saints of Jinghai studied it for almost a day, the more they delved, the more astonished they became, and promptly informed Ye Zhen.

"Fourth Brother, this is the whirlpool."

The Great Sage of the Overturning Sea led Ye Zhen to a small whirlpool at the riverbed, "Typically, such small whirlpools are merely caused by pits or large stones at the riverbed, unnoticed by anyone. Yet, this small whirlpool reveals another realm behind it."

Ye Zhen followed the three Great Saints of the Overturning Sea into the whirlpool, the waterway first tightened and then opened up again. Here, the blood river surged fiercely, seemingly denser than elsewhere.

"This could be an excellent place to hide troops." Ye Zhen praised.

"Fourth Brother, come and look!"

Amidst a bitter smile, the Great Saint of Jinghai guided Ye Zhen further along the Blood River, gradually detecting a faint formation aura.

"Big Brother, are we heading underground?" Ye Zhen abruptly asked.

"This waterway slopes downward; we are indeed going deeper underground."

After advancing for about fifteen minutes, the formation aura became more intense, until a blood-red muddy riverbed appeared ahead.

"Big Brother, have we reached the end?" Ye Zhen asked.

"Were it truly the end, it wouldn’t be worth disturbing you."

With a bitter smile, the Sea-Breaking Great Saint proceeded and actually passed through the blood-red muddy riverbed ahead—the riverbed was an illusion!

Ye Zhen’s gaze sharpened.

At the bottom of this Blood River, such a covert entrance to a sub-river concealed beneath, along with such a sophisticated illusion—is no ordinary matter.

His Divine Sense unfolded slowly, following the group of Great Saints of Jinghai and penetrated the illusion, continuing deeper. Before long, less than fifty miles in, an immensely thick blood-colored screen appeared before Ye Zhen and the four Great Saints of Jinghai.

"Fourth Brother, the Forbidden Land we mentioned is this blood-colored screen!"

"We’ve already utilized all kinds of Divine Power Secret Techniques, but with our combined ability, we couldn’t enter the blood-colored screen at all, nor could we affect it at all—not even our Divine Sense could penetrate it!" the Great Saint of Jinghai said solemnly.

Ye Zhen nodded gravely and started investigating this blood-colored screen.

Primordial Spirit Divine Thought, the Little Demon’s vines, Innate Five Elements Divine Escape, Small Five Elements Mixed Yuan Divine Thunder, Bone-attached Poison Flame.

Within a short hour, Ye Zhen exhausted all available means.

Yet it was just as the Great Saint of Jinghai said—he couldn’t affect the blood-colored screen at all, let alone enter it.

"What is this thing?"

Ye Zhen exclaimed in shock!

The Great Saints of Jinghai, the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, and the Sea-Breaking Great Saint exchanged bitter smiles, "We don’t know either. The only thing we sense is an immense accumulation of blood Qi inside, so substantial as to defy estimation!"

Being part of the Demon Race, they are exceedingly sensitive to blood Qi—which is why the Great Saints of Jinghai and others could sense it.

"Whose handiwork is this?"

"Accumulating such vast blood Qi, what’s the purpose?" Ye Zhen was equally astonished.

"We can’t guess!"

The Great Saint of Jinghai shook his head while Ye Zhen slowly extended his hand towards the blood-colored screen, only to be immediately stopped by the Great Saints of Jinghai, the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, and the Sea-Breaking Great Saint.

"Fourth Brother, don’t do that! Inside this condensate-like ocean of blood Qi, there must be incalculable quantities of slaughter, hatred, resentment, death Qi, and other negative energies.

If your physical body contacts it, your Divine Soul risks heavy damage—or worse, your Divine Soul Origin could be tainted by these negative energies, leading to a drastic change in personality."

Yet Ye Zhen slowly shook his head and placed his hand upon it smoothly, "No worries, I have the War Soul Blood Flag which can resist the negative energies contained in this blood Qi."

Besides, Ye Zhen is also shielded by the wish power of All Living Beings, which has a significant suppressive effect on the negative energies within this blood Qi, so Ye Zhen has no worry at all.

The moment his palm made contact, contrary to the expected tidal wave of negative energies, not a single trace moved towards Ye Zhen.

This made Ye Zhen’s expression even more grave.

To know that aggregating such a massive amount of blood Qi inevitably leads to a mountain-like and ocean-like presence of negative energies, as mentioned by the Great Saints of Jinghai—but none leaked through.

That only means one thing—the formation here is exceptionally high-level, almost at the pinnacle of sophistication.

Not even a trace of negative energy leaked—that’s terrifying.

Ye Zhen never found such formation records in the legacy of his master Lud Li, nor in the legacy of the Ancient Demon God, Yany Tu.

This indicates its mysteriousness!

But the more mysterious the formation, the more terrifying it becomes.

Suddenly, Ye Zhen’s expression shifted, signaling to the three Great Saints of Jinghai to mimic his action—place their hands on the blood-colored screen and feel carefully.

"Big Brother, do you sense a breathing-like sensation?"

"Breathing?"

In surprise, the Great Saints of Jinghai, the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, and the Sea-Breaking Great Saint laid their palms on the thick blood-colored screen, probing intently.

After a moment, the Great Saint of Jinghai spoke first, "I do sense a breathing sensation, seemingly inhaling and exhaling something. Could there be something alive within here?"

Possessing a True Dragon Bloodline, the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea frowned deeply, "Fourth Brother, it feels more like water flow to me, numerous water currents at varying speeds?"

With countless tentacle incarnations, the Sea-Breaking Great Saint spoke last, "It feels somewhat similar to Second Brother’s perception but not identical.

Listen, doesn’t the sound seem like blood flowing through blood vessels?

Some sounds seem to have the sound of reflux, while others are very gentle."

"Could there be something alive here? An Ancient Demon God of great power?" the Sea-Breaking Great Saint asked in extreme surprise.

Ye Zhen’s brows had already furrowed into a character of the river at this moment.

Frankly, the feelings of the three Great Saints of Jinghai somewhat resemble, especially the Sea-Breaking Great Saint’s feeling, which has a resemblance to Ye Zhen’s own sensation.

However, the problem is: if there is a living entity, if it is the heart or flesh of a fallen Ancient Demon God or powerful being, how could such exquisite illusions and formation auras exist?

Whether it’s this entrance or the illusion—or the formation aura—it all shows signs of human intervention.

If it were the site of a fallen Ancient Demon God or powerful being, it should be like the Demon Soul Realm, adhering to the will of the Ancient Demon God or powerful being before they fell, naturally evolving into various anomalies.

Instead of the current scenario, where signs of human intervention are everywhere.

"Blood Qi?"

Suddenly, Ye Zhen had an idea; the War Soul Blood Flag is most adept at controlling blood Qi—why not give it a try?

With a flick of his Divine Thought, the War Soul Blood Flag promptly flew out and landed in Ye Zhen’s palm, pressing tightly against the blood-colored screen.

The instant the War Soul Blood Flag touched it, the fluctuations deep within the blood-colored screen instantly became exceptionally clear.

Yet Ye Zhen’s expression turned frightfully alarmed in an instant!
