Chapter 379: The Dead Sea

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas St

“There might be a passageway here to leave the Black Mist Zone.11

When the Desolate Demon Lord said this, not only Lu Ming and Jiu Han, but even Bai Zhe turned to look at the Desolate Demon Lord.

The Desolate Demon Lord nodded gently, “Yes, you didn’t hear wrongly, and 1 didn’t make it up.”

“Because the task Zero gave me previously was to attract Huang Ti and trigger the Harvest Period in advance, so I know more things than Bai Zhe. Among them is the matter of the escape route/’

After saying this, the Desolate Demon Lord fell silent for a moment and continued, “In fact, searching for a passageway is also one of the important goals of Zero establishing the Subversives.”

As rhe Desolate Demon Lord explained tirelessly, Lu Ming quickly understood the purpose of the Subversives’ establishment and the significance of triggering the Harvest Period in advance.

The purpose of the Subversive was actually very simple to overturn the existing order and no longer be played for suckers by the Supreme God.

However, just hearing it, this goal was not easy at all.

Zero had made several preparations for this.

One of them is to communicate with the outer realm demons through the Insect Mother to see if they could find help from the outside world. At the very least, he had to try and see if he could resolve the trouble in the cultivation system.

For this step, rhe Subversives were half successful.

Lord Deun could not lend a helping hand, but he provided a cultivation technique without hidden dangers.

However, one thing was certain, relying solely on the cultivation technique was far from enough.

The paradox of reshaping the divinity was difficult to resolve.

And now, as Wicky revealed his power, everyone, including Zero, became certain of one thing- the act of overthrowing the existing order was too difficult, and they might truly be unable to accomplish it.

“But even if we can’t do it, we can’t just wait for death, right?” The Desolate Demon Lord said with a hint of helplessness. “In any case, we did have some previous conflicts over the matter of Xuanshui City, but I hope that Teacher Jiu Han and Mr. Lu can understand my difficulties… I’m also striving for survival/’

Jiu Han and Lu Ming did not express their opinions, so the Desolate Demon Lord continued.

“In fact, the essence of Subversives is just a group of poor souls who know a bit more.”

“We don’t want to be suckers; we want to live.”

“And for this goal. Zero proposed two solutions/’

One was to subvert.

Overthrow the existing order and solve everything at its roots.

But as mentioned, it’s difficult, and it might not be achievable at all.

“The second is to escape.”

Since they could not save everyone, they should consider self-preservation first.

Since they can’t overthrow the order in the Black Mist Zone, they can only find ways to escape this cycle.

“The significance of detonating the Harvest Period in advance lies in this/’

“When the Harvest Period arrives, the spatial barrier within the Black Mist Zone will be weakened. I don’t know where Zero got the information, but he suggested two locations where there might be a passageway to the outside world/1

“The first is the Dead Sea, which is where we re about to go.”

“The second is the Holy Tower.”

The words ‘Holy Tower’ made Lu Ming’s eyebrows raise.

He did not say anything. The Desolate Demon Lord continued, “There’s not much time left before the opening of the Heaven Ascension Stairs this time. According to my calculations, it coincides with the Harvest Period.”

“Zero said that at such a special time, Divine Spirit Realm experts can also enter the Holy Tower. And in the Holy Tower, there is likely an escape passageway to leave the Black Mist Zone.”

It was easy to notice that there were many words like “possibly” and “likely” in the words of the Desolate Demon Master.

This meant that he was not sure if the information was true.

“But let’s assume it’s true for now,”

Lu Ming spoke.

Even now, he felt that the water in the Black Mist Zone was a bit deep.

Although Lu Ming was very special, there was really no need for him to risk his life in the Black Mist Zone.

If he could find a passageway to the outside world, at the very least, he would not have to face the predicament of being hunted by Vicky.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming looked out of the Boshi Tower again.

He saw that the Desolate Demon Lord had already plunged into the Ten Thousand Devil Abyss with the Boshi Tower..

The Ten Thousand Devil Abyss was originally a forbidden area in the Black Mist Zone, but it had been conquered by the Desolate Demon Lord not long ago.

This place was originally filled with monsters, including a variety of demonic creatures with different strengths—a type that seemed to have the genes of the demon clan but had unclear consciousness and a cruel, bloodthirsty nature.

However, when the Black Mist surged out and the boundary of the Dead Sea was opened, after the monsters appeared, these demonic creatures were targeted and hunted by rhe monsters.

Be it demonic creatures or monsters, they were all a part of the Source Power system.

By now, the Ten Thousand Devil Abyss had already become the world of the monsters.

When the Desolate Demon Lord first entered the Ten Thousand Devil Abyss, the monsters Desolate encountered were relatively weak. However, as he advanced deeper, the monsters’ sizes became larger, their appearances more bizarre, and their strengths stronger.

There were even those that could easily crush the guardian god of the clan to death, the whale-like reaper, roaming in the black mist.

Fortunately, the Desolate Demon Lord concealed his aura well and managed to sneak past the side of the whale-like reaper, but even so, it made the Desolate Demon Lord break out in a cold sweat.

About half an hour later, the Desolate Demon Lord, with the Boshi Tower, successfully reached the bottom of the Ten Thousand Devil Abyss.

Before him was the battlefield between him and Huang Ti.

And under his feet was a deep, pitch-black abyss.

Faint ripples of water undulated inside the abyss, emitting an eerie and ominous aura.

Just then, a rumbling explosion came from above.

The surrounding monsters that kept emerging from the ground seemed to be stimulated and rushed up, baring fangs and brandishing claws.

After being slightly stunned, the Desolate Demon Lord speculated about the situation above.

“It’s Vicky.’’

“Vicky’s fighting the whale-like reaper/’

Lu Ming’s voice came from the Boshi Tower,

“Ignore Vicky.”

“Enter the Dead Sea as soon as possible.”

The best way to prevent the monsters from hunting was actually to use the power of the anomalies.

Although to a certain extent, an ordinary source power transcendent system also belonged to anomalies, in the eyes of the anomalies, there was still some difference between the two.

The aura of the anomalies was even more hidden than that of a normal source power system.

Moreover, Vicky was too powerful. Even if he deliberately concealed his aura, the scattered aura was still much stronger than that of the Desolate Demon Lord and the Boshi Tower.

The whale-like reaper could not sense it or did not care about the Desolate Demon Lord, this little bug, but it did not mean that it would ignore Vicky.

In the middle section of the Ten Thousand Devil Abyss.

A violent energy storm suddenly swept through.

Countless tentacles spread towards Vicky, and Vicky’s body emitted a white light.

The white light swept through, annihilating everything. Any tentacle caught in the white light was instantly severed but the whale-like reaper’s regenerative ability was extremely strong. Each time a tentacle was cut, rhe reaper could recover immediately.

Not to mention that tentacle attacks were not the main means of attack for the whale-like reaper!

The huge whale reaper suddenly opened its big mouth—countless big mouths.

The huge mouths covered all over its body. As the mouths opened, a powerful suction force instantly erupted.

This suction force specialized in absorbing source power and spiritual qi!

Vicky felt the spiritual qi in his body instantly erupt, causing the spiritualized blood patterns to tremble faintly.

A large amount of spiritual energy (Divine Source) dissipated from all over his body like a pouring flood, unstoppable.

“Time reversal!”

Vicky suddenly clenched his fists. With a flash of white light, he restored his state to a few seconds ago. Then, with a swift movement, he quickly flashed passed over the whale-like reaper and continued to rush downward.

Until he passed the whale-like reaper, anomalies of various sizes and shapes appeared in front of him.

This made Vicky’s face twitch, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes.

“You’re courting death!”
