These, shrouded by their divine fire, were the Netherworld Flames they had stripped from ownerless primordial spirits along their journey.
They themselves didn't know how many there were, so densely packed. A casual grasp could shatter large areas of ownerless primordial spirits!
Possessing the divine might to slay true gods, they were the masters of this domain. No one could stop them!
The two moved with extreme speed, entering the heart of the ancient jungle. Within its depths, terrifying auras had already locked onto their figures.
"How interesting. We don't seek them out, yet they deliver themselves to our doorstep. These cowards who dare not face reality should remain hidden, to live out their remaining years. Now, if they wish to die, I shall grant them a fitting farewell."
Hu Yan Zan surveyed their surroundings, gazing at the dozens of sentient primordial spirits. "Top-tier Void Gods, nothing more."
Boom!
Hu Yan Zan thrust his hand into the void, forming a spear of his spiritual energy. He hurled it towards a specific location amidst the surroundings. Countless trees shattered, and cries of agony erupted. Streaks of pale green Netherworld Flames flickered in the distance.
With a grab of his right hand, Hu Yan Zan seized dozens of Netherworld Flames. He examined the pure, condensed pale green flames and couldn't help but exclaim, "Such potent power! These Netherworld Flames are indeed worthy of top-tier Void Gods! A worthwhile pursuit."
Beside him, Shang Shi Tu was also moved by the Netherworld Flames in Hu Yan Zan's hand. He swiftly unleashed a fierce glare towards a deep section of the jungle. Possessing energy capable of suppressing true gods, how could these top-tier Void Gods resist?
A ferocious beam of light erupted, converging dozens of Netherworld Flames.
"Tsk, truly magnificent!"
Rumble!
But at this moment, the ancient trees they had shattered mysteriously reformed, becoming identical to their previous state.
"Blood Sea Suspended Coffins!"
The two exchanged grave glances as they observed the coalescing trees. Suddenly, a bizarre blood-red light erupted. Tendrils of crimson energy, like long whips, intertwined, forming a vast blood-red net that surged towards them!
"Go!"
Shang Shi Tu stared at the terrifying net. He couldn't discern its source or who was acting from the shadows. The immense killing intent contained within this net sent a pallor of fear across his face.
"Run!"
As they bolted, the terrifying blood-red net descended upon their former positions, easily sinking ten feet into the earth. Streams of blood gushed out, flowing like an inexhaustible tide.
Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle~~
At this instant, the entire ancient jungle emitted dreadful sounds. Countless blood-red nets flickered throughout the forest, sealing the primordial spirits of countless living beings. These primordial spirits, though not physical, liquefied beneath the nets as if they were, transforming into streaks of crimson light that merged into the blood-red net!
"Run!!"
"Forget the loot!!"
Countless beings were truly terrified by this horrifying spectacle. Even factions like the Gate of Creation and the Ancient Lion Kingdom suffered heavy losses.
"What is this?"
Some living beings stared blankly at the sky, this terrifying blood-red net devouring their primordial spirits like the Grim Reaper.
"What is this?"
The leading disciple of the Gate of Creation cried out in terror, gazing at the monstrous blood net. He had never encountered such a bizarre blood net, nor had his master, nor even the records of the Gate of Creation's lineage. What was this?
Innumerable beings utterly broke down. In a mere handful of breaths, nearly half of the living beings liquefied under the seal of the blood-red net.
Simultaneously, outside the Blood Sea Suspended Coffins, before the blood-red mist, a scene of collapse that shocked all present was unfolding!
In just a few breaths, on the Thunder Bridge, more than half of the living beings' bodies shattered, blood splattering everywhere. Yet, they hadn't crossed the Thunder Bridge even a step. Their vital energies were completely devoured by the bridge!
"What is happening?"
Heavenly God Yun Chi jolted as if struck by lightning, his eyes scanning the Thunder Bridge with divine light. What was going on?
According to the timeline, they should be nearing the depths of the ancient jungle. The ancient jungle was a gathering place for Netherworld Flames. As long as they avoided the sentient primordial spirits, there shouldn't be major casualties. But the current reality completely overturned records spanning millennia.
Merely by traversing the ancient jungle, more than half had been eliminated, including many beings from the Gate of Creation, the Ancient Lion Kingdom, and the Blood Origin Heavenly Dynasty.
Even those as powerful as them couldn't withstand the sorrow of their demise, let alone other beings!
"General Hu, General Shang!"
Huang Zhong watched the terrifying scene with concern. Although the two were the most powerful among the entrants, compared to the ancient and mysterious Blood Sea Suspended Coffins, they still seemed insignificant!
After all, the Blood Sea Suspended Coffins had only been explored a fraction by the top factions. Who knew what other horrors lay within its depths!
Inside the Blood Sea Suspended Coffins, Shang Shi Tu and Hu Yan Zan evaded countless blood-red nets. They saw the ravaged land where the blood-red nets had shattered trees, which could no longer be restored to their original state.
"Hee hee hee~~~~"
Chilling laughter echoed from the depths of the jungle. Instantly, the number of ownerless primordial spirits in the entire ancient jungle increased by the thousands, their dense Netherworld Flames transforming the forest into a pale green world.
The blood-red nets frantically sealed everywhere, but they inflicted no harm on the ownerless primordial spirits or those with sentience.
Countless ownerless primordial spirits watched from afar, as if witnessing a game of cat and mouse. The beings beneath the nets were the mice, scrambling for their lives.
"Quick, that's the exit!!"
Hu Yan Zan shouted frantically at Shang Shi Tu as he spotted a blinding blood-red light ahead.
"Go!"
While evading, Shang Shi Tu still managed to shatter dozens of ownerless primordial spirits at the Void God realm. He opened his mouth and inhaled, consuming the Netherworld Flames!
After enduring hardships, the two burst out of the ancient jungle. The moment their feet touched the ground, they sensed something amiss.
The sound of flowing water, "Whoosh, whoosh," reached their ears. They looked down to see a foot of deep crimson blood.
Though they were primordial spirits, the blood they stepped into felt incredibly real.
Whoosh, whoosh~~
Geysers of blood erupted, thousands upon thousands, too numerous to count. In moments, the boundless blood sea before them was filled with spurting blood geysers, each soaring ten feet high.
