Chapter 733: Three People Walking

"Two world-ending auras?"

As soon as this sentence was spoken, everyone fighting in the blood was stunned.

The next moment, they also seemed to sense the aura fluctuations in the distance, and their expressions turned ugly instantly!

"There are actually two World-Ender auras... How is this possible? Could it be that the Forbidden Sea hasn't just expanded its territory, but has also birthed a second World-Ender?"

"Legend has it that Calamity-Jie is naturally lazy and dislikes conflict. If not for that, we wouldn't have dared to cross the Forbidden Sea... But if a second World-Ender has appeared, things are completely different."

If that were truly the case, it would be catastrophic news for their group. Even if they all banded together, they likely wouldn't be able to walk out of the Forbidden Sea alive today.

"That shouldn't be... World-Enders are supposed to be mutually exclusive. How could two of them exist in the same territory?"

Bang—!!

Hongxiu flicked her spear, sending a Calamity flying. The massive monster's body crashed into the sea, sending up a spray of water mixed with chunks of ice.

Hongxiu watched the growing number of Calamities around them, the killing intent in her eyes growing sharper. Just as she prepared to thrust her spear and carve out a bloody path, a Calamity suddenly seemed to sense something, plunged into the sea with a splash, and vanished without a trace.

Immediately after, a second one followed, then a third...

The Calamities that had been surrounding the Judgment Group now acted as if they had encountered a plague god, frantically fleeing into the distance.

Within a few seconds, the only things left in this stretch of sea were churning blood-red water, floating Calamity corpses, and the battered, bewildered members of the Judgment Group.

"The Calamities have retreated?" a Judgment Group member asked, stunned. "What happened?"

"In the ocean, when a school of fish suddenly flees en masse without warning, it usually means something even more terrifying... is approaching."

"This is the Forbidden Sea. What could possibly be more terrifying?"

"...Look over there. Are those three people?"

A voice suddenly rang out.

Above the dead, oppressive sea, everyone looked into the distance simultaneously.

The lead-gray clouds hung like suspended mountains, suppressing the horizon. On the sea surface, littered with endless floating ice and corpses, three figures were walking slowly, stepping on the void...

One held a red paper umbrella and wore a bright red opera robe, looking like the only splash of scarlet in this gray world. Even though the umbrella's edge obscured half his face, everyone could still sense an aura of supreme ferocity, sweeping across the Forbidden Sea.

Another also wore an opera robe and appeared to be a youth. With his hands behind his back, he strolled as if he were in his own garden. His Demigod-level pressure rivaled that of the figure with the red umbrella, leaving everyone feeling nearly suffocated.

The third wore black and had a wolf-tail haircut. His gaze was as cold as an iceberg. Although no powerful aura could be sensed from him, every movement he made carried a hint of mystery.

The moment these three appeared in their field of vision, astonishment washed over the faces of every member of the Judgment Group!

Under the pressure of one World-Ender and one Demigod, even the Judgment Proxies dared not act rashly. They stood there like statues, watching helplessly as the three passed by them.

On this stage of death and cold that is the Forbidden Sea, they—who had fought a bloody path—were not the protagonists... those three were.

As they passed, the cold-eyed young man with the wolf-tail haircut glanced at them indifferently before withdrawing his gaze, continuing to walk toward the depths of the Forbidden Sea with the other two without looking back.

He was the only one of the three to react to the Judgment Group. The figure with the red umbrella and the opera-robed youth didn't even spare them a glance. Because of this, the young man's face was instantly branded deep into everyone's minds...

A question surfaced in everyone's mind:

—Who exactly are they?

In the suffocating silence, the three figures gradually moved away and vanished from sight. Only then did the group finally relax their tense bodies...

"A World-Ender... and a Demigod... walking together?? How is that possible?"

"Wait, that red umbrella gives off the aura of a World-Ender, but from the outside, he looks just like a human... Which World-Ender is that?"

"And that opera-robed youth—has the world ever seen such a young-looking Demigod?"

"Come to think of it, the young man in black is the weirdest one. To be able to walk side-by-side with a World-Ender and a Demigod... what kind of background does he have?"

"They just swaggered off into the depths of the Forbidden Sea? What are they trying to do?"

“……”

Filled with confusion, the group whispered among themselves, and the Judgment Proxies exchanged blank looks.

"The surrounding Calamities have been scared off. Let's move!" Hongxiu didn't let herself get distracted by the three anymore and spoke decisively. "Taking this opportunity to break out, we can minimize our casualties!"

"Right!!"

"Thanks to those three, otherwise we would have lost at least half our men trying to break out of the Forbidden Sea."

"Once we leave the Forbidden Sea, report what just happened immediately... A World-Ender and a Demigod, joining forces to invade the Forbidden Sea—this news is enough to shake the five great realms."

“……”

……

Above the churning sea, Jian Changsheng silently let out a sigh of relief.

"As expected of the Forbidden Sea, it can even create such realistic hallucinations... What do you call it? A mirage?" Jian Changsheng muttered to himself. "I knew it—how could humans possibly appear in a hellhole like the Forbidden Sea? Good thing I didn't fall for it."

Master gave him a subtle look but said nothing.

"That said, we've charged right to the doorstep of Calamity-Jie, and it hasn't reacted at all?" Jian Changsheng was still worried.

"Chen Ling" was a World-Ender, Master was a Demigod, and he was the only true Fourth-Order. If a World-Ender war really broke out, the shockwaves alone would likely blow him to pieces. It was no wonder he was anxious.

"Calamity-Jie?" "Chen Ling" sneered. "A coward who has the power but chooses to play the turtle... Even if I rode right onto its face, it wouldn't dare to react."

"Chen Ling" was full of disdain for Calamity-Jie. It wasn't his first time dealing with that guy, but not once had it dared to face him head-on... whether it was in the Gray Realm or back at the then-doomed Aurora City, it was always the same.

"So, where exactly is the place you want to go?"

Sensing "Chen Ling's" impatient gaze, Master lowered his head slightly and looked toward the very center of the Forbidden Sea, the location emitting the aura of the other World-Ender... He reached out and pointed, saying:

"Oh, it's very close. It's inside the belly of that 'coward' you mentioned."

"Chen Ling": ?????
