CHAPTER 1202: CHAPTER 49: CROSSING THE HEAVENLY SEA (2/3)

Yu Feng could vaguely see that in the Heavenly Sea, the light itself fractured and refracted, distorted by an immense and invisible force, bursting into dark seams.

This was the ’threshold’.

According to the information given by the ’Qingyue Sect’, Yu Feng knew that this ’Heaven Sea Dragon Gate’ was not actually meant for them, the Heaven’s Chosen from invited sects, but rather for the ’Loose Cultivators’ who, despite not being invited by prestigious sects, came voluntarily.

As long as one leaps over this Heaven Sea Dragon Gate, they can prove their strength.

However, this was just the initial design—Huai Xu Martial Artists have never been weak, since there are trials, one must pass!

From long ago, martial artists from all invited sects began using the Heaven Sea Dragon Gate as a test. Over time, it even became an unspoken rule that only those who leap the gate by their strength can attend the grand banquet; otherwise, even if invited by the Dragon Clan, they would withdraw in shame.

At this moment, the first person leaping the Dragon Gate appeared.

It was a pale golden figure, surrounded by flowing flames of the Law Domain. Wherever the light shone, the chaotic and fragmented Great Void stabilized, time and space momentarily solidified, and in an instant, she crossed the barrier of the Heavenly Sea, reaching the Dragon Gate of the Ancestral Dragon Hall.

The light and shadow gathered to form a girl with pale golden hair and a slanted dragon horn on her forehead. Her eyes were deep red like the evening glow, her beautiful face expressionless, like a cold and clear spring.

"Who is this?"

Yu Feng slightly widened his eyes. This mastery of both Great Void Techniques and Cosmic Light Technique is extraordinary. Although he could not achieve it himself, he could see clearly through his world-viewing ability that the figure had accelerated the time flow in her Law Domain and then solidified the Great Void with exquisite control, crossing the Heavenly Sea with the fastest speed, minimal obstruction, and least consumption!

This skill is by no means inferior to the previous Heavenly Ancestor Sword Cultivator’s ’Sword Intent Transformation’, and perhaps even surpasses it!

"She is the follower of Young Master Jin Qixu! [Su Xinbai]!"

======

Yu Feng did not need to ask personally; a knowledgeable onlooker beside him exclaimed in awe, "So strong, so fast! Although she is only half-dragon, she can master part of the Cosmic Light Divine Power, which only the Heavenly Dragon can control... If not for this special occasion with the Heavenly Mandate, she would definitely be one of the candidates most likely to meet the Ancestral Dragon’s scales!"

Su Xinbai paid no attention to these voices, lowered her gaze, and silently vanished into the Dragon Gate of the Ancestral Dragon Hall.

Afterwards, many other martial artists, unable to resist the temptation, stepped forward one after another, intending to cross the Heavenly Sea and gain entry to the Dragon Gate!

However, due to the presence of Nature Master An Jing and the surging undercurrents behind the scenes, the number of martial artists coming to the Ancestral Dragon Hall this time was far beyond the past, prompting the Ancestral Dragon Hall to slightly enhance the selection threshold.

As Yu Feng had speculated, many people simply could not make it through.

Following closely behind Su Xinbai was a martial artist in luxurious attire who took a deep breath, then summoned his magic artifact, a flying shuttle. Spiritual Light flickered around him, and his Law Domain spread to the flying shuttle, clearly marking him as a True Person of the Divine Repository.

In the next instant, he rode his artifact, transforming into a streak of light, and charged fiercely towards the Heavenly Sea!

Boom!!!

Just as he touched the transformation of the Heavenly Sea, an unexpected change occurred! The originally calm Heavenly Sea, which had only mild ripples even when Su Xinbai crossed, suddenly surged with raging waves— a visible ripple of time and space rose abruptly, swiftly engulfing that martial artist.

The flying shuttle, specifically designed to traverse void, was adept at handling such attacks, but it was apparently inadequate. It shattered like fragile glass, yet it afforded the elegantly dressed martial artist a chance to escape. In a tragic wail, the martial artist was tossed away like a falling meteor, smashing into the distant Cloud Vortex.

Several dragons standing ready to rescue rushed over to administer aid. It could be seen that this martial artist was soaked in blood, already barely clinging to life; his Law Domain was shattered, and the Law Body, initially capable of transitioning between illusion and reality, had been nearly half-torn away, missing half an arm and a leg, his expression awash with shock and fear, tinged with a sliver of post-crisis relief!

"Enhanced so much?"

For a while, the martial artists’ expressions turned solemn, and among them, some acquaintances of the failed martial artist murmured, "Lin Yan Island is, after all, the chief of Middle Gate ’Xiao Xi Mountain’, renowned for Void Techniques, yet how could he be so overwhelmed..."

Those who saw clearly understood: "The Ancestral Dragon Hall added factors of Cosmic Light. There are over a dozen segments in the Heavenly Sea with varying time flow rates. His Law Domain operated too uniformly without adjusting speeds according to changes, and he was torn apart by his own Law Domain conflicts!"

But understanding doesn’t equate to successful execution. Subsequently, several other martial artists attempted to fly across the Heavenly Sea, failing even more miserably than the previous one.

Only a few disciples of the Heavenly Ancestor, or martial artists wielding powerful Divine Weapons, managed to cross through with solid foundation and Divine Weapon’s aid.

This scene chilled the hearts of all the young martial artists waiting in line. The previously bustling atmosphere fell silent instantly, their expressions extremely grave, and some, who deemed their strength average, visibly harbored retreating intentions.

This is the challenge of crossing the Heavenly Sea, leaping the Dragon Gate... there are no shortcuts; this tests the mastery of ’Great Void’ and ’Cosmic Light’ by the Divine Repository True Man.

Of course, one could also force through directly with a terrifyingly strong body or Soul and Spirit that can disregard Void Turbulence, but that’s still a part of sheer strength.

"For an average Divine Repository, or even an exceptionally excellent one by standard definition, this challenge is beyond the curriculum!"

After observing for a long time, Yu Feng concluded, "Only by mastering one’s Law Domain to the utmost can one influence the ’Cosmic Light Flow’ within the Law Domain slightly by accelerating the Spiritual Fiend flow, and only upon reaching this beyond perfect realm can one pass the Heavenly Sea with absolute certainty!"

"In my case, although I barely meet the standard, I still need some luck."

"Fortunately, I have other methods."

Though beyond the curriculum, Yu Feng remained unflustered.

Because, in the Great Wilderness Realm, the manifestation of the Great Void and the Heavenly Sea is everywhere. To leave the mainland to explore some other-island domain, one must cross the Heavenly Sea.

Even though the Heavenly Sea of the Ancestral Dragon Hall is especially violent, he still had the fundamental techniques!

"Breaking Void Ark!"

With a movement of Divine Sense, Yu Feng rushed towards the Heavenly Sea, and during the flight, his surrounding Law Domain continuously spun and condensed, eventually transforming into a phantom ark.

This ark altered size at will; Yu Feng controlled the ark to fly smoothly through the Heavenly Sea, occasionally shrinking and restoring, effortlessly and extraordinarily navigating across the Heavenly Sea!
