The tranquility ring, radiating a soft white light, began to decompose under this power, transforming into the purest soul energy and law runes, which were completely absorbed by the system.
The sacrifice is complete!
The next moment, a system notification sounded deep within Lu Ming's soul:
[Host's sacrifice of 'Tranquility Ring (Common Soul Treasure)' detected... Triggering a 3650x return!]
[Congratulations, host! You have obtained a high-grade soul-type treasure—the 'Soul-Suppressing Pearl'!]
3650 times! A supreme treasure of the high-level soul class!
Lu Ming was shocked. Before he could react, a soul energy that was countless times purer and more vast than the Tranquil Mind Ring surged into his sea of consciousness.
"A high-grade soul-type treasure..."
As Lu Ming sensed the faintly visible pearl emitting a deep, eerie light in his sea of consciousness, a surge of joy welled up within him.
Such treasures are something that many cosmic venerables, cosmic overlords, and even cosmic masters have never possessed!
With a thought, the Soul-Suppressing Pearl completely recognized him as its master, perfectly merging with his soul. A cool and comfortable feeling permeated his entire sea of consciousness, and even his thoughts seemed to become clearer and sharper.
"As expected of a high-level soul treasure."
Lu Ming was satisfied with the effects of the Soul-Suppressing Pearl.
"With this, my safety in the Ancestral Mystic Realm has greatly increased. Next, I should plan my clone in the Nine Nether Sea."
His gaze swept beyond the mansion, as if piercing through layers of space to see the vast, dark sea hidden deep within the secret realm.
Chapter 75 Nine Netherworld Space
Meanwhile, deep within the Ancestral Mystic Realm, in the Nine Netherworld.
Above the vast and boundless Nine Nether Sea, a colossal figure was slowly flying.
This was Lu Ming's Nine Dragon Avatar. Its enormous body, covered in dark gold scales, cast a long shadow on the blood-red sea, exuding an extremely ferocious aura.
The enormous head of the Nine Dragons clone lowered, its dark golden eyes scanning the seemingly calm but actually treacherous endless ocean below.
"We've searched for so long, but we haven't even seen a trace of the Nine Nether Vortex..."
The Nine Dragons clone let out a low roar, its voice tinged with a hint of irritation.
"Isn't this thing supposed to be quite common in the Nine Nether Sea?"
The Nine Nether Vortex is the passage to the core area of the Nine Nether Sea, the "Imperial Sea." Only by passing through the vortex can one reach the Imperial Sea and obtain its precious water.
In order to safely pass through the Nine Nether Vortex, Lu Ming made ample preparations.
"We made so many preparations just to safely cross this Netherworld Vortex... and now we can't even find a door?"
The Nine-Headed Dragon clone flicked its massive tail with a hint of helplessness, creating a splash.
Just as he continued his aimless search on the vast sea, feeling somewhat on the verge of tears.
Unusual fluctuations suddenly appeared on the sea surface tens of thousands of kilometers away!
The once relatively calm, crimson seawater began to slowly rotate. At first, it was very slow, but the speed increased and the area expanded. In just a short while, a huge whirlpool with a diameter of over a thousand kilometers had formed!
The center of the whirlpool was bottomless, seemingly leading to another world, emanating chilling spatial fluctuations and a powerful devouring force. The surrounding seawater was frantically sucked in, yet no sound came out, only an eerie silence.
"Nine Nether Vortex!"
The dark golden eyes of the Nine Dragons clone suddenly lit up.
"Finally found it!"
His enormous body circled in the air, cautiously approaching the massive vortex.
The closer you get, the more you can feel the terrifying power it contains.
Without further hesitation, he adjusted his posture, his huge wings slightly folded, and like a sharp arrow, he rushed straight towards the center of the deep vortex!
Just as he was about to be swept into the center of the vortex, his enormous body suddenly disappeared, replaced by a G-class spaceship with a dark body, smooth lines, and a heavy aura!
This spaceship was one of Lu Ming's special trump cards for survival. It was made entirely of G-grade metal "Black Swan Gold" and was strong enough to withstand attacks from a Universe Venerable.
Inside the spaceship, the Nine Dragons clone was entrenched in the control room, closely monitoring the situation outside through an external simulation.
"With this G-class spaceship protecting us, we should be able to safely pass through this Netherworld Vortex, right?"
The Nine Dragons clone pondered to himself.
However, just as the spaceship was completely swallowed by the vortex—
"Boom!!!"
An extremely terrifying tearing and crushing force surged from all directions, and the entire G-class spaceship emitted a teeth-grinding creaking sound. The black swan pattern gold on the surface of the hull even began to deform slightly!
The spacecraft's internal stabilization system was operating frantically, but it was still vibrating violently, as if it might disintegrate at any moment.
"what?!"
The Nine Dragons clone was greatly surprised.
"Even a G-class spaceship can't withstand it? The power of this Nine Nether Vortex is terrifying!"
He dared not delay and immediately controlled the spaceship to concentrate all its energy on defense, while taking out the Thousand-Layer Silk that he had prepared beforehand.
Countless silver threads spread out from the surface of the spaceship, forming a flexible buffer layer on the hull, which barely offset some of the tearing force.
"Fortunately, we were well prepared..."
The Nine Dragons clone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the spaceship gradually stabilize.
Under the dual protection of the Thousand Silk Net and the G-class spaceship, although he could still feel the terrifying power from the outside world, it was no longer enough to threaten his safety.
After being tossed about in the vortex for an unknown amount of time, the surrounding tearing force suddenly disappeared, and the spaceship jolted violently, as if it had burst out of a high-speed tunnel.
The Nine Dragons clone immediately observed the outside world through the outdoor simulation.
This is a completely unfamiliar place.
Countless brilliant stars hang in the sky, emitting a soft glow.
A visible crimson aura permeated the air, and a dense, unique energy filled every corner. Most alarmingly, spatial fluctuations here were completely halted, and even teleportation to the divine realm was utterly suppressed!
"Unable to teleport! Unable to teleport to a divine realm!"
The Nine Dragons clone immediately sensed the peculiarity of this place.
He maneuvered the spaceship to land quietly in a remote valley, then stowed it away, revealing his massive body once more.
Its dark golden eyes scanned its surroundings warily, sensing the unique rules of this world.
"This should be the world where the Imperial Sea of the Nine Nether Sea is located."
The Nine Dragons clone pondered to himself.
"However, it seems there are indigenous creatures stationed here..."
His vast divine sense cautiously extended outwards, and sure enough, he sensed the presence of an alien army hundreds of kilometers away.
These alien races were all burly, with blood-red skin, curved horns on their heads, and exuding a fierce aura. Their leader, the captain, possessed strength at the level of an invincible king, and the entire group of about three hundred people were all immortal gods!
"Even a random garrison squad is this strong?"
The Nine Dragons clone clicked its tongue in amazement.
"Looks like we'll have to be careful."
He concealed his aura, and his massive body, shrouded in crimson mist, moved silently in the opposite direction from the garrison squad.
The dark golden scales peeked out from the blood-red mist, blending perfectly with the surrounding environment.
"Finding the location of the Imperial Sea and obtaining its seawater is the most important thing."
Nine Dragons' clones made up their minds.
"As for these natives... it's best not to disturb them."
However, just as he was making his way forward, a commotion suddenly arose in the distance. It turned out that the garrison squad seemed to have discovered something and was regrouping.
"Has it been discovered?"
Nine Dragons felt a chill run down its spine and immediately lay in wait to observe from the shadows.
The squad, led by its captain, flew rapidly in another direction, seemingly in pursuit of some target.
"They weren't coming for me..."
Nine Dragons' clone breathed a sigh of relief, but then a hint of doubt arose in its mind.
"Could it be that other foreign tribes have entered?"
He shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and continued moving towards the direction where he sensed the most concentrated energy.
This flight lasted for more than half a year.
Finally, after traversing countless mountains and rivers, he caught sight of that magnificent sight in the distance: a vast, boundless sea of blood! No, not just one, but a full one hundred and eight!
"Huang Hai! We've finally found him!"
A hint of excitement flashed in the dark golden eyes of the Nine Dragons clone.
He did not approach rashly, but first carefully investigated the situation of these royal seas from high altitude.
Chapter 76 The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds Descends
Of these 108 imperial seas, 56 are a deep, blood-red color, resembling a real sea of blood, with a diameter of about 80 million kilometers; 49 have seawater of the same color as ordinary oceans, but their diameters reach an astonishing 960 million kilometers; and the other three are the largest, with diameters ranging from 32 billion kilometers to 101 billion kilometers.
"The Blood Sea corresponds to a prince at the Realm Lord level, the Lesser Imperial Sea corresponds to a prince at the Immortal level, and the Greater Imperial Sea corresponds to a prince at the Universe Venerable level..."
The Nine Dragons clone recalled.
"My goal is those seas of blood."
He noticed that around Xiaohuanghai and Dahuanghai, there were many indigenous people kneeling and worshipping, their expressions devout.
The area around the sea of blood was deserted and desolate.
“Life cannot be born in the Sea of Blood, so no natives come to worship… which is convenient for me.”
The Nine Dragons clone pondered to himself.
