Chapter 138: The Sea of Death!

A month later, which also marked exactly one year since Qin Feng transmigrated to the Xuanwu Continent, he summoned everyone he truly trusted: Qin Tianyun, Qin Zhongkai, Chu Jinghai, Huang Tianlong, Huang Ningbing, Yan Chonghu, Shi Tie, Liu Qingchang, and others.

"What?"

"Supreme, you wish to go to the Sea of Death? That is absolutely out of the question!"

"The Sea of Death is unimaginably perilous, teeming with countless fierce beasts. Going there is practically walking into the jaws of death with a nine-to-one chance of perishing."

Hearing that Qin Feng intended to venture into the Sea of Death, Chu Jinghai's expression shifted drastically. He stood up from his chair in a rush and spoke anxiously.

As for Qin Tianyun, Qin Zhongkai, Shi Tie, Yan Chonghu, Liu Qingchang, and the others, they wore blank expressions, having no knowledge of the Sea of Death whatsoever.

"No!"

Qin Feng was quite satisfied with Chu Jinghai's reaction. He nodded gently and said calmly.

"The Zhao Imperial Dynasty originated from the Longteng Continent beyond the Sea of Death. If they could traverse the Sea of Death relying on the Qi Martial Realm, so can I!"

Qin Feng said in a deep voice.

"But, Supreme..."

Chu Jinghai's face was hesitant as he spoke.

"Say no more!"

"The Sea of Death, I must go!"

Qin Feng declared firmly.

"Xiaofeng."

Qin Tianyun looked at Qin Feng with a complex expression, a mixture of pride and worry.

"The Sea of Death is a place I must journey to!"

"Grandfather, I hope you will not try to stop me."

Qin Feng swept his gaze across the people below and spoke in a profound tone.

This world was simply too dangerous, as if there were always malicious scoundrels plotting to harm him.

He had to strive to enhance his strength, so that when danger struck, he would possess the power to face it head-on!

"Supreme, I support you!"

"You are a true dragon, destined to soar above the nine heavens!"

"I only hope you will often come back to visit me—oh, no, I mean, come back to visit everyone."

Huang Ningbing's gaze lingered on Qin Feng, filled with reluctance to part as she spoke softly.

"Rest assured!"

"Qincheng is my roots; I will definitely return!"

A smile appeared at the corners of Qin Feng's mouth as he spoke resolutely.

"Human Emperor Chu, after my departure, the Qin family will be under your protection."

Qin Feng looked at Chu Jinghai, entrusting him with the task.

"Supreme, rest assured. From now on, I will personally guard the Qin family until your return."

Chu Jinghai's expression turned solemn as he spoke decisively.

Deep within his heart, he held profound gratitude toward Qin Feng.

Not only had Qin Feng saved his life, but he was also the guiding beacon along his path of advancement.

...

"The Sea of Death!"

"As I am about to step into the Sea of Death, I must make thorough preparations!"

"My power must be increased."

Gazing at the boundless expanse of the ocean ahead, Qin Feng found a secluded spot and made sure no one was around.

He sat cross-legged, gently tapped the plus sign within his right eye's field of vision, bringing up his personal interface.

Name: Qin Feng
Realm: Late Human Emperor
Strength: One Hundred Winged Serpent Powers (+1) (+10) (+1000) (+10000)

"One hundred Winged Serpent powers already surpasses the peak of the Qi Martial Realm."

"I wonder what realm lies beyond the Qi Martial Realm."

"Is it a state where one can grasp the sun and moon, pluck the stars, and stand unmatched in the mortal world?"

Qin Feng murmured softly as he looked at his personal interface.

+1
+1
+1
+1
...

Qin Feng's fingers tapped rapidly across the controls, his strength steadily climbing.

"Hum!"

"Hum!"

...

Behind Qin Feng's dantian, illusory figures of Winged Serpents rapidly condensed one after another, emitting roars that sounded part dragon, part beast.

Feeling a sharp pain in his physical body—a sign that he was nearing the limit where his flesh might tear apart—Qin Feng stopped adding points and cast his gaze back toward his personal interface.

Name: Qin Feng
Realm: Late Human Emperor
Strength: One Hundred and Fifty Winged Serpent Powers (+1) (+10) (+1000) (+10000)

"Longteng Continent, I have arrived!"

Qin Feng let out a long whistle, his body leaping into the air as he sped swiftly toward the Sea of Death.

"Whoosh!"

Moving with lightning speed, Qin Feng vanished in a blur. Viewed from afar, he was reduced to a mere speck that gradually faded away.

...

Qin Feng flew continuously. Whenever the vital Qi within his body was exhausted, he would search for a floating log or an island to rest upon, then consume spiritual herbs to replenish his vital Qi.

"Thud!"

Once again, his vital Qi was depleted. Sitting cross-legged upon a massive log, he swallowed two spiritual herbs to rapidly recover his energy.

"Boom!"

Just as Qin Feng was regaining his strength, a colossal shadow emerged from beneath the surface of the water, lunging rapidly toward him.

"Oh no!"

Qin Feng swiftly circulated the Three Origins Unification Art, hastily refining the medicinal potency within his body to restore his vital Qi. Suddenly, he sensed a disturbance beneath the waves.

His eyes snapped open, and his body instantly sprang into the air.

"Boom!"

Right where Qin Feng had been resting an instant prior, a massive crab claw lunged out, measuring a full two meters in length.

"So huge!"

"Is this a crab?"

Suspended in mid-air, Qin Feng stared in astonishment and curiosity at the gigantic fierce beast that had emerged below.

The beast was over a dozen meters long, exuding a fierce and ferocious aura.

Its outward appearance resembled a crab, yet it possessed a full four claws.

"Late Human Emperor tier."

Sensing the aura radiating from the giant crab, Qin Feng determined it had reached the late Human Emperor realm.

"Die!"

Qin Feng uttered a low shout, chopping down with a single palm. A blade of vital Qi erupted from his hand, hurtling directly toward the giant crab.

"Crash."

With its strength capped at the late Human Emperor realm, the giant crab was no match for Qin Feng. Even facing Qin Feng's casual blow, it was unable to dodge and was cleaved neatly in two.

"Using the flesh and blood of fierce beasts to recover vital Qi might just be a decent method!"

Spotting the fresh meat of the giant crab, Qin Feng's eyes lit up sharply. The creature was a late Human Emperor tier fierce beast, and its flesh contained a massive amount of energy, comparable to ordinary spiritual herbs.

"Whoosh!"

Lifting one half of the giant crab's carcass, Qin Feng scanned his surroundings, searching for any nearby islands.

"It seems I have no choice but to push further ahead."

Finding no islands in the vicinity after a brief search, he resumed his flight. According to his map, there was a small island some two hundred miles away.

...

"As expected, the Sea of Death is fraught with danger."

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Qin Feng clutched his chest while using his other hand to shove a spiritual herb into his mouth. He chewed it hastily, swallowed it down, and muttered under his breath.

He had suffered injuries in a recent battle and needed to find a place to rest.

Having entered the Sea of Death a month ago, he had thoroughly experienced its relentless perils.

The ocean was swarming with fierce beasts, all of formidable strength.

Along his journey of flight, he had already slain over a hundred Human Emperor tier beasts and five Qi Martial Realm tier beasts.

He had been wounded several times in the process, each time encountering beasts surpassing the Qi Martial Realm.

Inimically fierce and powerful!

His current injury had been inflicted by a gigantic octopus. Had he not fled swiftly, he would have been dragged down into the murky depths of the sea.

"Thud."

"Thud."

"Thud."

As he flew, Qin Feng heard a commotion approaching from behind. Looking back, his expression changed drastically—that colossal octopus was actually giving chase! Increasing his velocity, he sped away toward the front as fast as he could.
