Chapter 347 A New Way Out
The sky was filled with blood-red fog, and it seemed as if the spiritual energy between heaven and earth had been devoured by some invisible force. Instead, it was replaced by rolling bloody aura that filled the entire world.
At the ruins of a ruined sect, corpses were scattered all over the ground, and blood gathered into a river, like a purgatory on earth. The Demon Emperor stood in the center of the blood pool, his red robe fluttering in the wind. His figure seemed like the master of heaven and earth, and the surrounding space was slightly distorted by his breath.
Ye Fan stood aside, his fists clenched, and a look of struggle appeared in his eyes. He looked around, and those practitioners who once stood proudly in Zhongzhou were now suspended in the air, like lambs to be slaughtered.
The Demon Emperor had a bloodthirsty smile on his face, his eyes fell on Ye Fan, his voice was low and evil: "Ye Fan, did you see that? This is the fate of those so-called righteous sects in Zhongzhou. They surrounded and suppressed me back then, and now it's nothing but karma and reincarnation."
As the Demon Emperor raised his hand, the void shook, and countless practitioners screamed in pain, their bodies trembling. The blood in their bodies was drawn out by a terrifying force, turning into long blood-red rivers that rushed madly into the Demon Emperor's body. The bodies of those practitioners dried up quickly, and finally turned into a wisp of green smoke, completely dissipating between heaven and earth.
"Ha ha ha ha--"
The Demon Emperor laughed wildly, his whole body bathed in blood-red light, and his terrifying demonic might spread like a raging wave. As more and more practitioners' blood and essence were devoured, his aura rose steadily, oppressing the earth and the sky to tremble, and the sun and moon to lose their light.
Ye Fan's pupils contracted violently. He could clearly feel that the Demon Emperor's cultivation was skyrocketing wildly, gradually breaking through the barrier of the Supreme Realm and entering the realm of the Great Emperor!
At this moment, the world seemed to have fallen into an eerie silence.
Ye Fan's heart was shaken violently. The power of the Demon Emperor was far beyond his expectations. He once thought that he had the capital to deal with the Demon Emperor, but now, he realized that he was still like an ant.
The Demon Emperor slowly stopped smiling, staring at Ye Fan with deep and cold eyes, a hint of mockery appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Ye Fan, do you regret it now? If you and I joined forces, we could have unified the world, but you insisted on struggling... Now, can you still stop me?"
Ye Fan did not speak. His mood was extremely complicated. He once thought that he could control the situation, but the fact was that he was just a chess piece in the hands of the Demon Emperor, being led into the abyss step by step.
The Demon Emperor waved his sleeves, and the bloody and evil energy between heaven and earth gathered together madly, forming a huge demonic shadow that covered the sky and the sun, overlooking the entire world.
"From today on, there is no more righteousness in the world, only this seat!"
At this moment, the Demon Emperor completely reached the pinnacle and became the only ruler of this world!
Ye Fan stood between heaven and earth, looking into the distance. It was a vast sea, surrounded by mist, as if even the sky was swallowed up. The Sea of Boundaries, an ancient passage connecting the heavens and the myriad worlds. Since ancient times, countless strong men have wanted to cross it, but ninety-nine percent of them have died in it, and only a few can really succeed.
And now, Ye Fan must take this path.
He no longer had the face to stay on this continent.
Zhongzhou was destroyed, the righteous forces were wiped out, and he... had once been bewitched by the Demon Emperor and watched countless lives perish. Even though his heart had never truly fallen into the path of evil, at that moment, he was powerless to stop it.
This is his shame!
He was unwilling and he didn't want to. He wanted to become stronger, strong enough to change his fate and destroy the Demon Emperor!
However, he is far from enough now!
"Ye Fan, have you really decided?"
Lin Yue stood behind him, her eyes full of worry and reluctance. She knew the dangers of the boundary sea. It was truly a place of life and death. Even a terrifying existence like the Demon Emperor would not dare to set foot there easily.
Ye Fan nodded slowly, his tone firm: "I want to leave here. There may be stronger forces in the outside world. If I don't look for it, I will never be able to change the current situation."
Lin Yue was silent. She wanted to accompany Ye Fan, but she knew that with her current strength, she could not set foot in the sea. She could only stand here and watch him go on his way alone.
Ye Fan took a deep breath and walked towards the sea boundary, taking every step with great determination.
The Sea of Boundaries, a Terrifying Land at the Beginning of Chaos
The Realm Sea is different from an ordinary ocean. It is a chaotic zone left over after the formation of the heavens and myriad worlds when the world was first created. It is vast and boundless, with countless broken continents, ancient battlefields, and the corpses left behind by the powerful ones in the heavens.
Standing at the edge of the boundary sea, Ye Fan could clearly feel an extremely violent destructive force raging. The sea water was not ordinary water, but a terrifying force mixed with chaotic aura and spatial turbulence. Even if an emperor-level strongman stepped into it rashly, he might be crushed into nothingness in an instant.
"This is the Sea of Realm..." Ye Fan murmured. He finally understood why even the Demon Emperor did not dare to set foot here easily.
This is a real death zone!
Stepping into the sea boundary means giving up all retreat routes. The only way to survive is to keep moving forward. Otherwise, you will be swallowed up by this chaos and not even your body will be left.
Ye Fan no longer hesitated, he took a step forward and officially stepped into the Sea of Boundaries!
In an instant, a terrifying space storm swept over, the void collapsed, and the laws were disordered, as if to tear him apart. The spiritual energy around him surged wildly, protecting himself, and at the same time urging the secret technique inherited from the Demon Emperor to adapt to the laws here.
"Om-"
A huge suction force came, and Ye Fan's figure was instantly swallowed into the depths of the sea, disappearing in the vast chaos...
No one knows whether he can come back alive, and no one knows what kind of world he will face.
In a magnificent and ancient demon palace, demonic energy was surging, the void was shaking, and a black-robed figure sat quietly on the throne, overlooking all living beings. He had a playful smile on his face, and his eyes were as deep as the abyss, revealing a hint of disdain and sarcasm.
"He's gone?" The Demon Emperor tapped lightly on the armrest of the throne, his voice low and cold.
"Yes, sir." A demon general in a black robe knelt respectfully on the ground, his tone full of awe, "Ye Fan has already stepped into the boundary sea, and his life or death is uncertain."
Upon hearing this, the Demon Emperor smiled lightly, with a hint of contempt in his eyes.
"Boundary Sea?" He sneered, looking through the hall and into the endless void. "That is a place of death that even the emperor dare not easily set foot in. With a tiny ant like him, does he really think he can come back alive?"
"Sir, he is after all..." The demon general hesitated and said cautiously.
"He's just my chess piece." The Demon Emperor said indifferently, with a cold arc on his lips. "He only achieved what he has today by borrowing my power. Unfortunately, he is still too naive. He thinks that he can become stronger by leaving this continent? Haha... He won't have a chance to come back."
The Demon Emperor slowly stood up, with demonic energy surging around him. The dark demonic flames reflected in the hall, as if hell had descended. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the world, and said in a sinister voice:
"Without Ye Fan, no one in this world can stop me from becoming the Demon Emperor."
