Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The sea fog surged like dark currents in the deep sea.

Jiang Hao’s clash with Tong Tian was relentless. Their fight barely gave them time to catch their breaths.

However, even with such intense attacks, they were unable to break through the sea fog.

It was evident that the sea fog had reached an unimaginable height.

Continuing to stay here would undoubtedly be dangerous.

The Heavenly Blade flashed, and Jiang Hao severed Tong Tian’s arm with a single strike.

In return, Tong Tian kicked and shattered Jiang Hao’s thigh.

Despite the pain, their attacks were unwavering.

Boom!

The brilliance of their strength clashed, and their figures constantly changed as they exchanged strikes with blades and swords.

However, as they fought, Jiang Hao stood in place and blocked the opponent’s attacks.

The Heavenly Blade swung in front of him and cut down all attacks.

Tong Tian was incredibly fast. Even with only one arm, he had the strength to break through any defense.

But after a moment, he found a flaw in Jiang Hao.

He threw a punch.

It was like a vast sky striking down. If it had landed, Jiang Hao would have been gravely injured.

However, what surprised him was Jiang Hao’s calm gaze. ‘Is he falling into my trap? What can he use to defend himself?’ Tong Tan was doubtful. He had no choice but to keep attacking.

Boom!

The force shook everything.

In an instant, a heavy shield blocked his fist.

However, his strength carried a resolute intent and left no room for retreat.

Crack!

The shield shattered.

As he attempted to move forward again, a long blade stabbed into him.

A strange force corroded his body and disrupted his balance, and the curse’s power erupted at this moment.

The once mighty fist landed on Jiang Hao’s shoulder like cotton.

At this point, Jiang Hao thought he had won.

To his surprise, Tong Tian smiled. “You’ve lost.”

Jiang Hao frowned. He sensed the presence of the curse.

Without hesitation, he activated the purple energy.

However, a tidal wave of black energy erupted from Tong Tian’s body and enveloped him entirely.

Even though the purple energy could resist some of it, it couldn’t stop all the curses.

In an instant, the curse entered Jiang Hao’s body.

The Hong Meng Heart Sutra started to circulate and attempted to suppress the curse.

However, the curse was unusually massive. For a moment, he thought he couldn’t suppress it.

“It’s useless.” Tong Tian sighed as his arm went limp. “This isn’t an ordinary curse. Even if your cultivation realm matches the caster’s, it’s difficult to resist it. It will destroy one’s vitality and erode one’s cultivation realm. The moment I sensed it, I knew I was beyond redemption. But it’s okay. It allowed me to come find you and fulfill Tong Lu’s last wish.”

Jiang Hao retracted the Heavenly Blade. “As members of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe and Saint Bandits, why did you want to seize the royal fortune and the blessings of the land?”

“You seem to know quite a bit.” Tong Tian signed again. “For the depths.”

“The depths?” Jiang Hao asked as he let the spots appear on his body.

“The source of everything,” Tong Tian said.

“The person who wrote about the Heaven Lock Technique?” Jiang Hao asked again.

Tong Tian was astonished. “How do you know about Heaven Lock? Did you discover it?”

Recently, the Heaven Lock had appeared in the world, but they couldn’t figure out who had discovered it.

“Is there a limitation to the Heaven Lock Technique?” Jiang Hao asked.

“How is it possible that you were able to see it?” Tong Tian was shocked. The content of Heaven Lock wasn’t something anyone could easily see.

Heaven Lock was mind-boggling and even the heavens and the earth shrouded its content.

Even a Soul Ascension Realm cultivator, no matter how special, couldn’t see it.

Jiang Hao remembered the figure he had sensed beside him.

It seemed that he could make sense of the technique only because that figure had been present. Without him, he couldn’t see it.

Tong Tian smiled helplessly. “Forget it. We’re both dying. What’s the use of being so special?”

Jiang Hao sighed. He realized he couldn’t hold on much longer. Otherwise, the curse would really hurt him.

In the blink of an eye, a pearl appeared in his hand.

In an instant, all the curses in his body subsided.

Tong Tian was stunned.

When he met Jiang Hao, he felt it was extremely difficult to kill him, especially with the curse constantly eroding his strength.

So, he decided to use the curse to kill him.

But he never expected that the curse would be quelled by the opponent. Tong Tian saw a crimson pearl inside the purple sphere. It looked familiar.

“The Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl?!”

He was shocked.

Tong Tian smiled weakly. “This is the first time I’ve seen someone holding the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl. We didn’t die in vain.” Jiang Hao said nothing.

“Did Xiao Lu suffer before his death?” Tong Tian asked.

“He used something to self-destruct. He wanted to take me down with him,” Jiang Hao said.

“Is that so? That’s good. I hope he won’t blame his useless elder brother.” Tong Tian felt his eyelids growing heavy and slowly closed his eyes.

At the moment of his passing, he seemed to hear Tong Lu’s annoyed voice.

“Brother, why did you come here too? You’re making me angry.”

Tong Tian smiled weakly and murmured, “Brother is here to accompany you.”

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Hao saw the opponent turn into bones and then disappear completely.

Jiang Hao also breathed a sigh of relief. Dealing with the curse was troublesome.

Now, how could he get out of here?

He couldn’t let go of the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl. Once it left his hand, the misfortune would erupt.

If he went out now, there would undoubtedly be strong opponents waiting for him.

If the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl was targeted, the problem would become more serious.

‘I need to find another way to suppress the curse. It’s also troublesome to get out of here.’

Without Ah Zha, it was not easy to get out of the place.

After hesitating for a moment, he walked to the place where Tong Tian had disappeared. He wanted to see how his opponent had found this place. Was it because of the magic treasure or something else?

Unfortunately, he found nothing and had to find a way out on his own using the nameless manual.

As for the curse…

Jiang Hao took out the Sea God Pill that Hong Yuye had given him.

This pill not only healed injuries but also dispelled curses.

If he was correct, the curse on his body was from Gui.

He didn’t know if the Sea God Pill could completely dispel it.

And it felt a waste to use it here.

In the depths of the Sea Fog Cave, Yinsha and the others were being chased by tentacles.

There were originally nine of them in the group, but only three remained.

“It seems like we’re constantly going in circles,” a male cultivator said.

Yinsha knew that too, but there was no way out.

“Look over there.” Another cultivator pointed into the distance. At this moment, they noticed the sea fog disperse and reveal a passage.

The three were surprised.

After a moment of hesitation, they headed in that direction.

It was like entering a completely new space.

This was a cave. Above the cave was a strange symbol that was difficult to discern.

“What kind of place is this?” The three were puzzled. “A place that can take you out of here,” said a calm voice.

The three were startled.

They discovered a figure standing deep in the cave.

The figure was faint and indistinct. It wasn’t easy to see clearly.

“Who are you, Senior?” Yinsha asked warily.

“Do you want to leave?” the figure asked. “Do you have a way, Senior?” Yinsha asked again.

The figure…

She remembered Jiang Hao’s reminder.

“Help me with something, and I’ll help you get out of here. It’s a simple task.”

Without waiting for Yinsha and the others to ask, the figure tossed a stone at them. “Take this thing and give it to him. Then, tell him that we’ll meet again. Thank him for his praise. Since the appearance of Heaven Lock, only he has praised me, and it seems that only he has understood my discovery..”
