Long Yu called out to Ye Ling several times without receiving a response.
"How strange… have I fallen into an illusion? But I clearly drank the Spirit-Awakening Jellyfish, so I shouldn't be affected by the mist here?"
Long Yu couldn't understand why Ye Ling and Xiao Yu had disappeared, but in his current situation, staying put was pointless.
"Never mind… this Dead Silence Sea is fraught with danger. If I stay here, I might encounter trouble. I'll find the guardian beast of the Dead Silence Sea, the Profound Void Silent Turtle, first, and then worry about other things!"
Long Yu quickly rallied his spirits, releasing his Dragon Soul to protect him. Then, guided by his memory, he pressed onward into the Dead Silence Sea.
Long Yu was clearly not new to the Dead Silence Sea. His movements were swift and decisive. He navigated through the mist, making numerous turns, and soon arrived at a desolate island within the fog.
"Strange… normally, the mist in the Dead Silence Sea is filled with soul-devouring fish and beasts. How come I haven't seen a single living creature on my way? Could I really be trapped in the mist?"
Long Yu stepped onto the island and saw nothing around him. His confusion deepened.
To be safe, Long Yu took out more Spirit-Awakening Jellyfish and drank them down.
As the large amount of Spirit-Awakening Jellyfish entered his stomach, Long Yu's eyes cleared, and everything on the island became distinct!
"Found it! The Profound Void Silent Turtle!"
Long Yu spotted the dark beast coiled in the center of the desolate island and immediately moved deeper into it. Da Feng Novel Network.
As a guardian beast of the Hidden Dragon Fierce Land, Long Yu had some connection with the guardian beasts of other fierce lands. Although he wasn't well-acquainted with the Profound Void Silent Turtle, they had met before. If Long Yu went to seek the Profound Void Silent Turtle's help now, the beast would at least have to show him some respect.
However, when Long Yu flew before the Profound Void Silent Turtle, he discovered that its head had been severed, and even its shell, which was known to be the hardest in the Hidden Ruins, was covered in cracks.
"The Profound Void Silent Turtle… is dead?"
Long Yu stared at the corpse of the Profound Void Silent Turtle in front of him with disbelief, his heart churning with immense shock!
One must know that the Profound Void Silent Turtle's strength was no less than his own as an Ancestral Dragon, and it had been alive and well when the Hidden Ruins ranking competition began!
And now, the Profound Void Silent Turtle had died so silently?
Who had done this?
"I was just wondering who had seen through my illusion formation and come here. So it's you!"
At that moment, a familiar voice echoed through the desolate island. Long Yu's muscles tensed instantly, and his Dragon Soul assumed a combat stance, ready to face the enemy!
The long-haired man in red, who had previously fought Long Yu, appeared slowly above the corpse of the Profound Void Silent Turtle, holding a giant scythe. He smiled at Long Yu and said, "You, why did you leave the Hidden Dragon Fierce Land and come to the Dead Silence Sea?"
"It really is you!"
Upon seeing the long-haired man, Long Yu's eyes flashed with ferocity.
Without a word, Long Yu's Dragon Soul teleported in front of the long-haired man and lunged at him with extreme speed!
"Got him!"
Long Yu's face showed a hint of joy as his Dragon Soul struck the long-haired man. However, the smile on his face froze the next moment!
The Dragon Soul's claws passed through the long-haired man's body without obstruction and slammed heavily onto the Profound Void Silent Turtle's shell, shattering it completely!
"An illusion?"
The long-haired man glanced at the shattered Profound Void Silent Turtle and chuckled at Long Yu, "It seems that with Sin's help, your strength has undergone a qualitative change… However, no matter how strong you are now, you are still no match for me!"
As the long-haired man finished speaking, he appeared before Long Yu, scythe in hand!
"So fast!"
The only thought that flashed through Long Yu's mind as the long-haired man appeared before him was this.
He had no time to defend and could only transfer his consciousness to his Dragon Soul!
*Screech!!!*
The giant scythe cut through the air with a red glow, and Long Yu's body was directly sliced in half by the long-haired man!
Long Yu, whose consciousness had transferred to his Dragon Soul, watched his own body being torn apart in horror, feeling a sense of dread.
If he had been even a fraction slower, his consciousness might have been shattered along with his body!
"Oh? Your consciousness can switch freely between your physical body and your soul form… such a rare ability. Did you obtain that Karma Skill from the Hidden Dragon Fierce Land?"
The long-haired man rested his scythe on his shoulder and turned to look at Long Yu, his face still bearing a faint smile, showing no hint of apprehension towards Long Yu's Karma Skill.
Seeing the long-haired man's confident demeanor, Long Yu felt a surge of anger. He recreated a physical body with his Dragon Soul and transferred his consciousness back.
"You damned fellow, stop being so smug… In the Hidden Dragon Fierce Land, I was only slightly inferior to you. Now, you are definitely no match for me!"
"Is that so?"
The long-haired man smiled at Long Yu, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes, "I admit, your Dragon Soul is a bit troublesome. I can't kill you before your strength is depleted… but you must have drunk quite a bit of Spirit-Awakening Jellyfish to get here, haven't you?"
Long Yu's eyes flickered slightly, "What do you mean?"
The long-haired man chuckled, "Spirit-Awakening Jellyfish are key to bypassing the mist of the Dead Silence Sea, but… Spirit-Awakening Jellyfish are also the foundation of the Dead Silence Sea. The blood of the Dead Silence Sea God…"
Long Yu: "What exactly are you trying to say?"
The long-haired man grinned, "I'm saying… although Spirit-Awakening Jellyfish can help you avoid the mist of the Dead Silence Sea, they can also plunge you into even more terrifying illusions!"
"And to achieve all this, all it takes is a flick of the Dead Silence Sea God's finger."
As the long-haired man finished speaking, the Dead Silence Sea God, wielding a water spear, slowly appeared beside him.
"The Dead Silence Sea God? He's actually helping you?" Long Yu's heart was filled with immense shock upon seeing the Dead Silence Sea God beside the long-haired man.
However, Long Yu soon noticed that the Dead Silence Sea God's expression was extremely vacant, and no aura of the Dead Silence Sea emanated from him. He looked like a corpse.
"No, that's not right… you controlled the Dead Silence Sea God? Did you kill the Profound Void Silent Turtle using the Dead Silence Sea God?" Long Yu realized this and questioned the long-haired man.
"It seems you're not entirely foolish. I originally intended to kill you in the Hidden Dragon Fierce Land, but Sin interfered."
"I thought I wouldn't be able to take your life… but you've come right to my doorstep, so I won't be polite!"
The long-haired man smiled faintly at Long Yu, and then the Dead Silence Sea God beside him looked at Long Yu indifferently and raised his arm.
The next moment, Long Yu felt a heavy blow to his soul. His vision went black, and he completely lost consciousness!
