With a loud rumble, a massive black opening appeared in the center of the four Thunder Giant Swords. This black opening was a hundred feet wide, and an eerie aura emanated from it. Even with Sun Zhe's keen eyesight, he couldn't see what was inside, but upon seeing the emergence of this opening, the Golden Thunder Elder and the others showed intense excitement.
The three members of the Golden Thunder Elder couldn't wait to retract their Thunder Giant Swords. They expanded their figures and transformed into streaks of light, rushing into the opening and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"The Demonic Energy inside is too dense. If you want to go in and take a look, you must carry this Thunder Giant Sword. If you don't want to enter, just head to Jizhou; I can guarantee your safety there."
As soon as the words fell, Zhuang Yuanhang's figure suddenly vanished from his spot and directly flashed into the opening. Clearly, he had sensed something interesting inside the opening that prompted him to rush in without hesitation.
Without Zhuang Yuanhang's assistance, Sun Zhe could no longer remain in the Void. His body slowly began to descend. Looking at the Thunder Giant Sword floating before him, Sun Zhe felt somewhat hesitant. Logically, leaving immediately would be the most rational choice, but with such a secret place opening up before him, how could he bear to leave?
Watching the gradually closing opening, a decisive glint flashed in Sun Zhe's eyes. He reached out and grasped the now-normal-sized Thunder Giant Sword, transforming into a shadow as he dashed toward the opening. Using his downward momentum, his agile figure moved through the Void and quickly reached the entrance. Without hesitation, he stepped forward just before the opening closed and entered deep into the Evil Demon Sea.
...
What greeted his eyes was an expanse of black earth; the entire world was filled with this black Demonic Energy. Looking at everything before him, Sun Zhe felt as if he had entered a realm of demons.
The Thunder Giant Sword hovering in front of him shimmered with purple light, enveloping Sun Zhe within it. After breaking the first seal, the power of the Thunder Giant Sword had clearly increased significantly. The purple Thunder Light radiating from it formed a Defensive Light Shield that prevented any of the black Demonic Energy from penetrating even a fraction.
"Chirp... Chirp..."
With cheerful sounds, Jingjing suddenly emerged again. However, upon seeing the scene before it, it froze for a moment, its big eyes filled with confusion as it looked at Sun Zhe, seemingly regretting why Sun Zhe had brought it to such a cursed place again.
"Heh heh, if you don't want to come out, you can stay down there," Sun Zhe said with a smile as he casually patted Jingjing's head.
"Chirp... Chirp..."
Hearing Sun Zhe's words, Jingjing immediately shook its head vigorously, indicating that it no longer wanted to stay inside.
"Since that's settled, I'll move forward. I want to see what exactly is hidden deep within this Evil Demon Sea that requires four Thunder Giant Swords to open."
Sun Zhe had heard of the name Evil Demon Sea before, but this was his first time truly stepping into it. Previously, he had only heard about how mysterious the Evil Demon Sea was; now he was directly entering its depths.
In fact, another reason for Sun Zhe entering deep into this Evil Demon Sea was because of the Thunder Giant Sword in his hand.
The Thunder Giant Sword was obtained by Sun Zhe's ancestor, Sun Yuan. After Sun Yuan's death, it was kept hidden within the Sun Family Ancestral Tomb. The depth of its concealment shows how much the Sun Family values this Thunder Giant Sword. Does this mean that the Sun Family already knew that this Thunder Giant Sword is the key to this place? Or is there something extremely important to the Sun Clan hidden here?
"Perhaps it's just my speculation..."
Muttering softly to himself, Sun Zhe walked forward slowly, while Jingjing remained bored on Sun Zhe's shoulder, listlessly gazing at the surrounding black world filled with Demonic Energy.
"Chirp... Chirp..."
Suddenly, Jingjing, who had been sitting quietly, let out a startled cry and flew up, transforming into a beam of Purple Radiance soaring into the half Void. The moment it flew out of the protective barrier, endless Demonic Energy surged toward it frantically. However, a purplish-red light emanated from Jingjing's body at just the right moment, sweeping away the black Demonic Energy in an instant.
Yet Jingjing paid no attention to this change; its gem-like Big Eyes were fixed ahead with a look of vigilance.
At that moment, Sun Zhe also sensed something was off. A strange feeling enveloped his mind. Without hesitation, he extended his right hand, and the North Star Blade instantly appeared in his palm. The blade was seven feet long, and sharp Sword Qi swirled around it, transforming into a blazing Sword Aura that ignited above the blade.
"Your Excellency, you might as well show yourself!"
Coldly staring ahead, Sun Zhe wore a serious expression. He could sense that the presence before him was definitely not that of the Golden Thunder Elder and his companions.
Whoosh...
A chilling wind howled as if endless vengeful spirits were wailing in anger. Under the watchful eyes of one man and one bird, a black mist began to rise slowly from the ground of the black earth. As the mist gradually became clearer, a figure slowly appeared before Sun Zhe. Dressed in a black robe that shrouded its entire body, only two black eyes were visible, quietly watching Sun Zhe, emanating an eerie aura that captivated the soul.
It was none other than the Ghost Shadow that had appeared on the Third Floor of the Northern Mang Secret Realm, which had been following Sun Zhe. It had also made an appearance before he entered the ancestral tomb and had stealthily followed him into the depths of this Evil Demon Sea. Strangely enough, not one of the four formidable individuals like Zhuang Yuanhang had noticed this Ghost Shadow trailing behind them.
"Chirp..."
Upon seeing this ghostly Ghost Shadow, Jingjing immediately cried out in alarm. Fear flashed intensely in its two Big Eyes, and with a "whoosh," it darted into Sun Zhe's embrace, no longer daring to come out.
However, Sun Zhe sensed that there was no malice from this entity. Moreover, he felt an inexplicable familiarity with this ghostly figure; it seemed he had seen it somewhere before.
"What do you want?" After a moment of silence, Sun Zhe cautiously asked.
The black sleeves gently lifted, slowly pointing to the north of Sun Zhe, and then indicated towards Sun Zhe again. However, he seemed to be somewhat fearful of the Thunder Giant Sword, only daring to stay several feet away from Sun Zhe. After gesturing, he slowly waited for Sun Zhe's response.
"Do you want me to go there with you?"
A strange look appeared in Sun Zhe's eyes as he uncertainly asked. To his surprise, the Ghost Shadow actually nodded and led the way in that direction.
"Hey, I haven't agreed yet..."
The Ghost Shadow looked back at Sun Zhe in confusion, its black eyes flickering slightly, seemingly not understanding what Sun Zhe meant.
"Alright, alright, you lead the way." Seeing the somewhat dazed expression of the Ghost Shadow, Sun Zhe sighed helplessly and followed it as they headed north. For some reason, he felt a hint of a similar aura emanating from the Ghost Shadow, which seemed to be why he sensed no malice from it.
Moreover, he had a gut feeling that this Ghost Shadow was perhaps an incomplete soul!
