    Qin Wentian also had a look of bewilderment on his face. However after some moments, the tiny astral-being dimmed and no longer emitted any aura. A rumbling sound rang out, the statue on the stone pir moved again, exuding a heavy pressure as it rushed forward.


    When he saw this, Qin Wentian’s eyes narrowed. The aura from the tiny astral-being was actually able to make the statue return to its original location? Was it because the tiny astral-being was a wondrous treasure? Or was it because it had a connection with the Heaven Vault.


    This caused Qin Wentian’s interest in this ce to intensify. His grandfather, who was a heavenly deity, died here and the tiny astral-being also had a reaction after he came here. Could there be a connection between everything?


    He didn’t have time to think. In the air, the stone statue that was like a divinity, wielded a giant axe wanting to cleave the sky apart. When the giant axe shed down, the space here waspletely severed. Qin Wentian, who was standing on the ancient pathway, seemed iparably tiny. An immense amount of pressure bore down on him as the axe intent from the giant axe engulfed him. At this moment, a terrifying line appeared in the sky, wanting to sever his body into twain.


    Qin Wentian had a feeling that in the area he was in, the space here would bepletely torn apart by the giant axe. He had no way to escape.


    Behind him, a bright light manifested. Above his head, numerous ancient words of power manifested, revolving around him. They transformed into a spatial screen of light that resembled a diagram of the great dao and shot up into the air. An instantter, that terrifying axe attack waspletely swallowed up by the spatial light screen and vanishedpletely. It was like no matter how fearsome an attack was, the attack wouldn’t be able toe in contact with Qin Wentian’s body. Qin Wentian then gracefully stepped out and directly walked through the ancient pathway, passing the region guarded by the statues of the stone pirs.


    “Another powerful expert.” The spectators behind felt a bit numb by this point. Jian Jui, the Sword Monarch, the mysterious expert Hua Taixu and now, another young man had appeared, this young man effortlessly blocked a tyrannical attack and his strength seemed to be nearing the level of heavenly dao. However, no one here knew who this young man was.


    After Qin Wentian passed through, Jun Mengchen also attempted it. He followed Qin Wentian’s footsteps and walked past the same stone pir. Naturally, the attack he faced was the same as well.


    Jun Mengchen had longprehended an extraordinary world heart during the convention of myriad realms many years ago and was a transcendent-level world overlord since then. Now, after so many years and after him cultivating in Ancient Azure Mystic, receiving the guidance of heavenly deities, his strength was no longer at the same level as the past. His senior brother effortlessly walked past this zone, Hua Taixu was the same as well, causing a powerful statue to crumble with a single nce. He mustn’t lose too much face.


    He stepped forward and in an instant, it seemed that the strength of everything in the world could be used by him. Jun Mengchen transformed into an emperor of the world and with a stretch of his hand, a miniature world could be seen revolving slowly around in his palm. He suddenly clenched his fist resulting in waves of terrifying light erupting forth, shrouding his entire body, covering it with a divine glow. The aura he exuded now was so strong that it was inconceivable.


    “What ability is this?” The eyes of everyone shed as they stared at Jun Mengchen. This young man was like the reincarnation of a heavenly deity. The glow from him was blindingly resplendent. He lifted his fist and punched out aiming for the giant axe. Fist light flooded the sky, his punch crushed through everything,pletely destroy the axe and the statue.


    “Not too bad.” Jun Mengchenughed. His cultivation method was different from many people. He continued moving forward and exited the zone.


    Lastly, Qi Yu stepped out. He drew in a deep breath. After he obtained the Battle Saint Bone, he had cultivated for many years and sparred against many people in the ancient battlefield. But this was the first time he would truly be disying his prowess in public.


    From Qi Yu, a shocking amount of battle intent radiated. Although his form remained the same, the might from his body wasn’t anyway weakerpared to the stone statue that was just reconstructed.


    A terrifying battle intent gushed forth from him, the spectators here could feel the violent strength contained within Qi Yu’s body.


    Finally, Qi Yu roared loudly, causing the sky to tremble. From his roar, ancient runes manifested, representing the word ‘battle.’ These runes further intensified the battle intent he was unleashing and concentrated the battle intent into a beam of light that shot towards the gigantic axe. The power of the runes easily pierced through the giant axe before prating the body of the stone statue.


    “Battle word runes?” The spectators all had looks of contemtion on their faces after Qi Yu left. There were many people in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms that integrate the runes of differentws into their attacks. But for a rune that represented the word ‘battle,’ was there any other special meaning to this?


    After that, more and more experts tried the trial. However, only extremely powerful world overlords could enter. Ordinary world overlords couldn’t even pass the first test which is to defeat one of the stone statues on the ancient pathway. In fact, there were even quite a few world overlords who lost their lives.


    It wasn’t so easy to enter the Heaven Vault. If one wasn’t strong enough, death was a very real possibility.


    Even heavenly deities could die, this wasn’t false information but true history.


    After Qin Wentian and his group passed the region of the stone pirs, they continued forward. Very soon, they saw many people gathered in a location before them. They were all standing there and gazing ahead, not daring to move recklessly. When Qin Wentian saw the scene ahead, his heart couldn’t help but tremble. Inside Heaven Vault, it truly felt like every step they took would lead to a different world. Previously, it was a stretch of destion with an ancient pathway with stone pirs. And now, the scene before his eyes was actually a sea. A red-colored sea like a sea of blood. The redness of the sea water was extremely bright.


    Near the shore, many bone boats could be seen floating there. Qin Wentian nced at a stone monument erected at the shoreline. There were words engraved there, “Transforming blood into a sea, using bones as the boat.”


    Qin Wentian’s heart trembled again. Transforming blood into a sea. Using the blood in one’s body, transforming into a sea of blood. Using bones as the boat, the floating boats on the blood sea were all constructed from bones.


    What sort of ce was the Heaven Vault exactly?


    Blood as the sea, what does this mean?


    “Why don’t you guys continue to head forward?” Qin Wentian came over and asked someone at the side. That person nced at Qin Wentian. This person arrived here earlier than Qin Wentian and also wanted to cross the sea earlier. However, he was hesitating due to something he saw.


    “This blood sea is exceeding dangerous. Your blood would also be a part of the blood sea.” That expert calmly spoke. Qin Wentian’s expression froze. “Did such a scene ur earlier?”


    “Yes.” That person nodded slowly with a heavy expression. “There was a hegemonic-level world overlord who sat on one of the bone boats, entering the blood sea. It is unknown what he encountered, the bone bone capsized and as he fell into the blood sea, he directly transformed into blood. Not even his bones were left as he died inside.”


    Qin Wentian’s heart pounded violently. The blood sea was actually so terrifying? If the person on the bone boat was a heavenly deity instead and if the boat capsized, what would happen?


    “What about heavenly deities?” Qin Wentiaan asked. That person also honestly told Qin Wentian, “Heavenly deities would be suppressed the moment they entered. Earlier, there was a heavenly deity who tried but he was forced to return halfway through his journey. Someone asked him what he experienced but he didn’t want to say anything. After some time, that heavenly deity simply turned and departed, not wanting to take any risks.”


    Jun Mengchen and Qi Yu also walked over. They were waiting at the side and after they heard these words, their hearts both trembled. Jun Mengchen asked, “In that case, although we just entered the Heaven Vault, we already encountered an unknown power capable of threatening heavenly deities so soon? Even a heavenly deity had chosen to retreat, how many more people would dare to traverse this blood sea?”


    “It isn’t easy for heavenly deities to reach their level. They naturally wouldn’t want to risk their lives for some unknown benefits.” That personughed. Qin Wentian understood that this was the truth. For someone who had already reached the deity level, why was there a need for him to take such a risk? If this blood sea truly had the power to kill heavenly deities, most probably many heavenly deities who came here today would immediately choose to leave.


    “Dangtian, have you decided?” Over at the Qin n’s direction, Qin Zheng came as well. He spoke to his son, Qin Dangtian, who was standing beside him.


    “Mhm, I’m willing to continue ahead.” Qin Dangtian nodded. So what even if the blood sea was before him? In the past, someone from the Qin n had seeded in traversing the blood sea before. Since someone had seeded, how could he retreat? He was Heaven’s Son.


    “Good. Since this is the case, go do your best. I shall wait for you back at home.” Qin Zheng spoke. Qin Zheng didn’t want to enter the blood sea. To him, his cultivation base was already at a very high level and he was also the Qin n Leader. There was no need for him to risk it.


    Back then when Qin Tiangang and his wife died in the Heaven Vault, his father said that their cultivation then was weakerpared to him now.


    Since his son Qin Dangtian had the guts to explore, Qin Zheng naturally would support this.


    “There are only ces where I don’t want to go but there are no ces where I cannot go.” Qin Dangtian’s eyes turned sharp. He nced at Goddess Nichang who was beside him as a look of tenderness shed in his eyes. “Nichang, the blood sea is filled with danger. It’s best that you don’t attempt it. How about waiting for me to return?”


    Goddess Nichang shook her head lightly. The Heaven Vault was also the ce where her father died in. She wanted to see what secrets are there within exactly.


    When he saw Goddess Nichang shaking her head, Qin Dangtian nodded, “Fine then, let’s traverse the blood sea together. If there’s danger, I will send you back.”


    As he spoke, he moved forward and stood upon a bone boat. The bone boat floated into the blood sea. Goddess Nichang also stepped upon one. The two of them traveled side by side and resembled an immortal couple.


    Many people weren’t in a hurry. They wanted to see how Qin Dangtian and Goddess Nichang would fare. However at this moment, sword intent gushed forth as the sword on Jian Jui’s back was unsheathed, flying towards a bone boat. He took a step forward and stood upon his ancient sword that was now resting on a bone boat. In this blood sea, the bone boats were the only means of transportation.


    “Since Qin Dangtian dares to traverse the blood sea, why wouldn’t I dare?” Many supreme characters of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms silently mused. Since someone took the lead, they no longer hesitated and chose to step onto a bone boat.


    Qin Wentian nced at Qin Zheng at the shore line only to hear Qin Zheng mumbling in a low voice, “Back then, the things you have aplished...I did not do so. However, my son will aplish them in my stead.”


    After speaking, he turned around and departed.


    Some times, he couldn’t help but admit that he truly felt impressed by his n brother Qin Yuanfeng. Despite Qin Yuanfeng’s parents dying for many years, he still chose to enter the Heaven Vault when it opened again, not caring about the danger.


    “Let’s head out too.” When Qin Wentian heard Qin Zheng’s words, he couldn’t help but wonder who Qin Zheng was referring to. Was he referring to his father? Could Qin Yuanfeng also have entered the Heaven Vault before?
