Chapter 488: The Treacherous Sea of Devouring
During the next three days, Lin Langtian, along with the Liu brothers and Mu Lingshan, found an isolated place on the island to rest temporarily, avoiding unnecessary conflicts while quietly awaiting the appointed time.
Throughout these days, Lin Langtian clearly sensed the increasing number of powerful individuals gathering on the island, making the atmosphere gradually more volatile.
Most of these newcomers possessed considerable strength, clearly aware that anyone lacking sufficient capability would quickly become prey for others. With more people arriving, conflicts naturally multiplied. The island swiftly descended into chaos, and battles erupted frequently, many triggered by mere trivial disagreements.
Within just these three days, numerous cultivators fell on the island, their dreams of entering the Reincarnation Cave Mansion vanishing before they even glimpsed it. This harsh reality vividly demonstrated the ruthless nature of the Chaotic Demon Sea. In this brutal environment, lacking adequate strength could mean becoming someone else's prey at any moment.
Despite their secluded location, Lin Langtian's group couldn't entirely escape the disturbances. His possession of the key token attracted greedy eyes and frequent attacks from those foolish enough to attempt robbery. Of course, without exception, these assailants were easily suppressed by the Liu brothers.
Over these few days, while Lin Langtian himself didn't directly participate in much combat, the Liu brothers relied on the powerful Three-Beast Yuan Transfer Technique, quickly earning the name "Three Beast Generals" within the Chaotic Demon Sea. Even Mu Lingshan gained notoriety, labeled as the "Violent Little Demoness" due to her aggressive fighting style. Surprisingly, rather than being offended by this title, she took immense pride in it, becoming increasingly eager to demonstrate her formidable heritage as a member of the Sea Demon tribe.
Amidst this chaotic atmosphere, the three days finally passed.
When the third day arrived, Lin Langtian slowly opened his eyes as he sat cross-legged atop a jagged mountain peak. Raising his head, countless streams of light flashed across the sky, signaling that the entire island had erupted into intense activity, countless powerful figures launching themselves toward the depths of the Devouring Sea.
It was now that the exploration of the Reincarnation Cave Mansion truly began.
"It's time to move," Lin Langtian calmly said, standing and smiling at the eager Mu Lingshan beside him. He then gestured toward the Liu brothers.
Immediately, he transformed into a streak of flame, soaring from the island toward the ominous black sea region ahead.
Mu Lingshan and the Liu brothers closely followed.
As they departed, numerous gazes settled on them. Over these three days, news of Lin Langtian holding one of the key tokens had spread widely. Many on the island recognized him instantly.
"What are you looking at?!" Mu Lingshan snapped fiercely at the curious gazes around her, a mischievous expression on her youthful face.
Seeing her reaction, many cultivators hurriedly diverted their eyes. Ever since the previous day, when this seemingly harmless girl chased down a renowned expert—someone who had even reached the peak of the Life Profound Realm and nearly half-step Death Profound Realm—with nothing but a massive coffin lid, everyone quickly learned to avoid offending her. Despite her innocent appearance, this little girl was as violent and fearsome as they came.
Lin Langtian smiled inwardly at this, then surged his flame energy, accelerating into the dark sea ahead.
Just as their group entered the black region, sudden screams echoed from above.
In the dark sky above the black ocean, countless mysterious black holes appeared without warning, instantly pulling in several cultivators who ventured too close. Their desperate screams ended abruptly, leaving a chilling silence behind.
Witnessing this scene, even Lin Langtian's heart tightened.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Langtian observed the swarm of cultivators racing into this dangerous sea, then turned his gaze toward the depths of the Devouring Sea, a faint smile appearing at his lips.
He wondered what he might gain within the Reincarnation Cave Mansion this time.
The journey forward proved treacherous. The black holes littering the sky exerted terrifying suction, swallowing anyone careless enough to stray too close. Even powerful Death Profound Realm cultivators weren't safe; being drawn into these black holes likely meant death.
"This place is indeed worthy of a Reincarnation Realm expert's cave mansion," Lin Langtian murmured, recognizing the extraordinary nature of this environment.
"Brother Langtian, the energy fluctuations ahead seem even stronger…" Mu Lingshan warned nervously as they moved forward.
Lin Langtian nodded solemnly. Indeed, the suction from these mysterious black holes intensified dramatically as they ventured deeper into the sea. One careless step here could spell instant doom.
"Stay alert," Lin Langtian cautioned as they continued onward, their vigilance at its peak.
As they moved deeper, screams grew more frequent around them, and even more experts fell victim to the unpredictable black holes. Soon, they encountered a terrifyingly large black hole—a massive vortex spanning thousands of feet, radiating overwhelming suction capable of destabilizing even Lin Langtian himself.
"This is bad! It's a Giant Devouring Black Hole!" Lin Langtian's expression changed drastically.
Almost immediately, the gigantic black hole unleashed a powerful wave of suction. Hundreds of cultivators nearby vanished instantly into its depths without even time to scream, their souls annihilated completely.
Those witnessing the scene from behind paled instantly, gasping in shock.
"Run! Another Giant Devouring Black Hole appeared!" someone cried out.
Lin Langtian swiftly grabbed Mu Lingshan, extending his Scarlet Sparrow wings. In a flash of fiery light, he escaped the deadly suction. The Liu brothers followed closely, narrowly dodging the immense pull.
Behind them, more cultivators were not so lucky. Dozens vanished into oblivion, swept away by the merciless black holes.
"This whole area is forming Giant Devouring Black Holes! Move quickly!" frantic screams echoed everywhere, plunging the entire region into chaos. The enormous vortexes tore through the sky, devouring everyone in their vicinity indiscriminately.
Lin Langtian flew swiftly, his face tense. He knew clearly that if caught, even he might not survive.
"Brother Langtian, look at those people from the Deep Sea Dragon Tribe!" Mu Lingshan suddenly pointed ahead.
Lin Langtian turned, noticing a group from the Deep Sea Dragon Tribe effortlessly bypassing these deadly black holes, protected by faint black barriers emanating from their tokens.
Realization dawned upon him instantly. "The key token!"
He quickly summoned his own black token, channeling Yuan Power into it. Immediately, a black barrier enveloped their group, shielding them from the lethal suction.
Right at that moment, another Giant Devouring Black Hole activated above them, fiercely pulling at their figures. However, this time, the protective black shield easily resisted its power, allowing Lin Langtian's group to pass safely.
Nearby cultivators, initially delighted at the sight of Lin Langtian being targeted by a black hole, prepared to snatch his token. But when they saw him emerge unscathed, their expressions quickly turned to horror.
"Impossible!" one of them shouted.
Lin Langtian glanced at these would-be opportunists coldly. "Watch your heads."
Before they understood his meaning, another black hole swallowed them instantly, their screams cut short as they disappeared.
Realizing the immense advantage his token granted him, Lin Langtian sped through the sea without fear, swiftly moving deeper into the Devouring Sea.
The journey ahead remained dangerous for most cultivators, with countless deaths occurring. However, Lin Langtian's group moved freely, protected by the token's barrier.
After half a day, Lin Langtian finally slowed down, having reached the very center of the Devouring Sea. Before him stretched a vast black ocean, and at its heart lay a colossal black hole tens of thousands of feet wide.
Before such a magnificent sight, Lin Langtian's figure appeared insignificant, almost negligible. He stared intensely into the depths of this enormous abyss, faintly perceiving a gigantic, ancient cave mansion hidden within.
Without a doubt, this was his destination—the Reincarnation Cave Mansion.
