Chapter 1227: Traveling Through the Sea of Blood
But gradually, they became more and more courageous and even began to climb towards Shenzhou.
They used their tiny but sharp mouthparts to continuously gnaw at the defensive formation on Shenzhou.
The defensive formation was attacked with flickering lights and crackling sounds, which burned many of the blood sea insects that crawled up to a crisp.
However, these red bugs seemed to have no sense of pain and continued to climb up, increasing in number.
Soon, hundreds of thousands of Shenzhou ships were densely crawling with these red bugs.
From a distance, each Shenzhou looked like it was wrapped in a layer of red insect mountains.
At this time, the late-stage Spiritualization cultivator anxiously came to the front of Xinglan Divine Venerable and said, "Divine Venerable, these bugs are really too strange, and their number is shockingly large. If we continue to stay here, I'm afraid all our Shenzhous will be buried in these red bugs."
Lord Xinglan looked at the Shenzhou that was being attacked by insects and frowned.
Questions arose in his mind.
"Have those monks from the Western Nine Regions really entered the blood sea?" "This blood sea is so dangerous, can they really survive after entering it?"
"If they had entered the blood sea long before the two worlds merged, would they have been buried in the bellies of these red bugs long ago?"
As time went on, more and more red bugs swarmed in.
The surrounding sea water seemed to be filled with these insects, almost turning into a materialized sea of insects. This place has completely become the world of red insects.
Hundreds of thousands of Shenzhou ships were heavily wrapped by these insects and were struggling to move forward with the heavy load.
Looking around, there were endless and dense red bugs with no end in sight.
Every moment, the Shenzhou was attacked by these insects. Naturally, tens of thousands of low-level monks on the ship could not escape and could only become food for these red insects.
If they continued like this, the cultivators on their side would be almost completely killed or wounded before they found the cultivator from the East Nine Regions.
Seeing this critical scene, Xinglan God Lord decisively ordered: "Immediately find the exit of the sea of blood, we must leave here!"
However, it is easy to enter the sea of blood, but it is difficult to get out.
The eight water rings are constantly rotating, and their outlets are constantly changing.
How easy is it to find the ever-changing exit in this vast sea of blood?
Hundreds of thousands of Shenzhou ships were moving forward with difficulty amidst the encirclement of red bugs, and began the arduous journey to find the exit of the sea of blood.
More than fifty incarnation monks took the lead, cutting through the thorns and brambles in the front.
They continued to use their magical powers to cut down the densely packed red bugs.
For a moment, the magical power shone brightly and the roar was deafening.
I don’t know how many red bugs were killed, but there were just too many of them.
Even if a cultivator who has reached the state of Divine Transformation possesses the powerful ability to move mountains, fill the sea, and destroy the world, he still feels powerless in the face of these endless red bugs and is unable to completely kill them.
"According to the information we got before, this sea of blood shouldn't be so dangerous. Where on earth did these red bugs come from?" Xinglan God thought to himself.
"In the Great Wilderness Realm, it's not that there haven't been cultivators who have entered the Blood Sea, and many have successfully escaped from it. But the strange thing is that I've never heard of so many of these strange red bugs in the Blood Sea."
God Xinglan's doubts grew stronger.
Suddenly, as if struck by lightning, a terrible thought flashed through his mind: "Is this an elaborate trap?"
Could it be that those cultivators from the Eastern Nine Regions did not enter the sea of blood at all?
However, Supreme Donghua kept spreading the news, claiming that they would hide in the sea of blood to avoid being cleansed by the demigod monks in the Nirvana Realm.
The Divine Transformation cultivator from the Extinction Realm easily obtained this information, and then chased after them without hesitation, but ended up being surrounded by a group of red bugs.
The reality was becoming increasingly grim. More and more Shenzhou ships were breached by these red bugs. None of the monks on board were spared and all were buried in the sea of bugs.
The number of fallen foreign monks increased dramatically, and after those insects had eaten the monks' flesh and blood, they actually grew bigger and became more powerful.
At the same time, Lord Xinglan vaguely felt that these insects seemed to be summoned by some mysterious and powerful existence.
"Could it be that the spirit of that sixth-rank sea beast is causing trouble? It wants to use these red bugs to form a physical body and revive again, and we rashly entered this sea of blood and just happened to become nutrients for these bugs."
Thinking of this, Lord Xinglan couldn't help but feel his hair stand on end and a chill rising from his spine.
Anger instantly surged in his heart, and the Taoist magical powers of Xinglan God flowed wildly around him. He attacked the insects even harder.
For a moment, the powerful magical power shone brightly, and one after another, red insect swarms as big as mountains were destroyed under his attack.
However, these red bugs seemed to be endless.
They were almost everywhere in the sea, and no matter how hard Xinglan Divine Venerable tried, they could not be killed. Moreover, even if these red bugs were attacked and their bodies were broken, they would not really die. Instead, they would immediately turn into nutrients for other bugs and be quickly absorbed by the surrounding red bugs. To some extent, these red bugs achieved a strange kind of "immortality".
External attacks and killings are not only ineffective against these insects, but will make them even stronger.
Lord Xinglan knew in his heart that if they continued to fight these red bugs endlessly like this, even they, the Divine Transformation cultivators, would find it difficult to walk out of this sea of blood alive.
At this moment, Lord Xinglan finally came to his senses. The only way out now was to switch from offense to defense, preserve the living strength, make all-out defense, and find the exit of the sea of blood as soon as possible.
"Pass the order down, have each divine ship prepare for defense, stop active attacks, conserve energy, and make sure to find the exit of the sea of blood alive." Lord Xinglan gave the order decisively.
"Yes!"
As a result, hundreds of thousands of Shenzhou ships entered defense, struggling to make their way through the dense swarms of red insects in the sea of blood.
The low-level cultivators hiding in the Shenzhou saw only darkness in front of them, and outside was densely crawling with red bugs that even their spiritual sense could not penetrate.
As a result, the various Shenzhou ships could no longer communicate with each other, as if they had instantly turned into isolated islands.
Only those cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage could barely penetrate the dense swarm of insects with their spiritual consciousness and establish contact with other divine ships.
It was precisely with the help of these top-level Nascent Soul cultivators that the Shenzhou team was able to maintain its formation, closely following the Spiritualization cultivators and slowly moving towards the depths of the sea of blood.
