Chapter 1689: The World of Sea

Haidong Lin fully released the aura of a twelfth level sequence expert. An enormous wave rushed from his body and scared off anything in the vicinity.

This wasn’t a big world and it didn’t contain that many resources. Although the endarkened wished to claim it, they wouldn’t send any of their true powerhouses. A first level sequence expert was already a stretch. As Haidong Lin was flaring his full power, anything that dared draw near would be immediately vaporized.

……

Under the Sea Lord’s protection, Lu Yun extended his senses to their utmost and searched earnestly for the Imperial Seal.

“Found it!” He opened his eyes and turned in a certain direction. When Haidong Lin followed his gaze, his heart skipped a beat and his expression grew stiff.

“What is it? Is something the matter in that area?” Lu Yun frowned when he noticed the man’s reaction.

“I hope it’s not… there,” Haidong Lin chuckled wryly. “There are three thousand worlds in that direction and my home, the World of Sea, is also there. But there is also an abyss at the very end of that orientation.”

“An abyss?” Lu Yun blinked. “The Abyssal Hell?”

“Yes, the Abyssal Hell,” Haidong Lin nodded.

Apart from Lu Yun’s Disordered Hell, there was more than one instance of each of the six hells. The dao of the five hells had always existed; a proper hell dao hadn’t formed only because the sixth hell had yet to appear. At the same time, that didn’t obstruct the formation of the five hells.

They were not unique entities. More than one of the exact same hell had historically appeared in the known and unknown expanses.

When Lu Yun refined the Disordered Hell, he’d collected the five hells onto himself and used them to create a sixth hell. Thus, it was no surprise that there was an Abyssal Hell in the secondary worlds of the fourth realm. Though he cultivated hell dao, he couldn’t control the hells outside of the one he’d established.

Those hells and their dao existed outside of his hell dao to begin with, and were under someone else’s control. If this Abyssal Hell was masterless, then Lu Yun could claim it.

Of course, there were always exceptions.

The Netherdark Hell had taken human form and become Violetgrave. So unless she was willing, there was no one who could cultivate that hell dao or build more Netherdark Hells.

“An Abyssal Hell…” Lu Yun frowned. “Are you sure it’s not a Nihil Hell?”

There was a Nihil Hell in the world of immortals that was devouring a Sanguine Hell. The former was connected to a land of darkness—the source of yin spirits in the world of immortals.

“It’s not a Nihil Hell, it really is an Abyssal Hell,” Haidong Lin shook his head. “That abyss is dangerous beyond belief. I can’t count the number of heavyweights that’ve tried to subdue it, but they never come back out after they enter it.

“That Abyssal Hell is a cancerous tumor plaguing the secondary worlds. It swallows both creatures of order and of darkness.”

A sudden thought struck Lu Yun. “Can it be that the original emperor is inside that hell?”

“Maybe… maybe he’s in the World of Sea.” Haidong Lin was plainly unwilling to entertain the thought of entering that hell. Plus, there were several major worlds in the associated direction, including his home.

“Let’s go take a look first. Since I’ve connected to the Imperial Seal, I’ll sense it more clearly the closer we get. Let’s visit your home.”

There must be a reason that the original emperor had come to the unknown expanses. If he really was in the Abyssal Hell, then there must be something special about that hell. The Abyssal Hell might be incredibly dangerous to others, but for a practitioner of hell dao, Lu Yun was wholly unafraid of it.

Haidong Lin trembled with emotion at hearing they would visit his homeland. He itched to teleport back to the World of Sea right this very moment! Although he’d left an uncountable number of years ago and perhaps his friends and family were all dead, that was still his home.

“I was once a divine spirit of the World of Sea—I still have an altar there! If you want, we can go there immediately!” he laughed heartily.

He could already sense his altar. Since there was no worship offered there, it was just a transportation treasure to him. He could instantly return to it if he was in the secondary worlds.

“Let’s go!” Lu Yun nodded.

……

The World of Sea looked remarkably similar to Myriadsea World. It was covered by a boundless ocean and a few floating islands dotted the waters like pearls.

Black lightning zigzagged through the sky, just like the world they’d visited before, but the bolts here were much smaller than that of the previous world’s. There were more endarkened here and they fought the creatures of order at every second, trying to seize territory.

An altar the size of an island floated on the ocean’s surface. Apart from a statue that still stood on it, everything else had been destroyed. Judging from the ruins, this had once been an extremely prosperous world.

“Is this sculpture you?” Lu Yun asked with surprise when he studied the dilapidated sculpture. “You’re a woman?”

The sculpture was that of a shark spirit, but it belonged to a woman. Though its features were too indistinct to make out, the outline of its body was fully preserved.

Haidong Lin scowled darkly at it.

“Some bastard built a sect on my altar,” he explained awkwardly. “That’s not a sculpture of me, it’s probably whoever came after. My altar is nigh indestructible because it’s crafted from an exotic material found in the darkness. Only someone at twelve levels of sequence like me can shake it.

“My worshippers wouldn’t dare build this awful mess on my altar…” his tone turned morose. “The Sea Emperor must be dead. Things wouldn’t be like this if he wasn’t.”

“The Sea Emperor?” Lu Yun blinked.

“The ruler of the World of Sea, a fifteen level sequence expert. I was once Sea Lord Donglin under his command, one of the four great lords. I traveled to the world of sequence under his orders to create a world of sea dao sequence,” the man paused. “Perhaps… the emperor already knew the truth behind that world then and that Mazu existed. He sent me there on purpose to bring sea dao to Mazu and help her defeat the realm monster.”

FML. So he's Hai Donglin. Welp, that bit me in the butt. I think his old title won't be mentioned much so let's just.... roll with it? :D :D :D
