Chapter 4: The Blood Sea Devours

About an hour later.

At the edge of the Star Observation Tower small world.

A transcendent vortex gate about five meters high stood quietly there.

Above the sky was a scorching sun.

Looking outward from here, one could see a faint halo of light faintly blooming on the world barrier at the far end of the world.

Only Gune and Mulander Elcli were around.

"Be careful when you enter."

"Mm, I know."

"Also, this is a three-dimensional projection of the void-source channels in this surrounding area."

Saying this, Mulander Elcli took out something like a gold bar slightly larger than a palm.

Gune took it and could feel the abundant source power and complex texture within.

"By inputting source power, you can activate the three-dimensional source power projection and then know your location."

"Then I'll go in." After putting away the source power projector, Gune slightly bowed to Mulander Elcli, then leaped directly into the surging vortex of the transcendent gate.

"Hum!"

As space-time twisted, Gune felt his position rapidly teleported away.

After a moment, Gune landed.

Steadying himself, Gune looked around.

What met his eyes was a time-space corridor like transparent glass, or more accurately, a void-source channel.

This void-source channel was about seven or eight meters in diameter.

Both sides twisted and extended outward.

At the same time, Gune could feel a relatively dense source power flowing rapidly within the channel.

The transcendent world of the Oya Continent moved forward through the starry sky.

The world barrier would absorb the source power it touched and then slowly transport it through these void-source channels to the entire Oya Continent.

Normally, source power in the starry sky was very thin, and even if absorbed by the world barrier and transmitted through the channels, it was almost imperceptible.

But the problem was that the Oya transcendent world was not currently in the starry sky with thin source power.

It was in a source tide.

This caused the source power within the void-source channels to be relatively dense.

Moreover, in the decades to come, the source power would become increasingly dense.

This mysterious source tide would allow the Oya transcendent world to absorb a massive amount of source power, even directly raising the energy level of the entire world, greatly enriching the transcendent creatures and plants of the transcendent world.

At the same time, the high-concentration source power environment would make it easier for human transcendents to cultivate.

Perhaps, in the next few decades, the number of transcendents on the Oya Continent would increase several times, and the number of transcendent masters would also keep increasing.

This was a good thing.

But the problem was that it would also attract some uninvited guests, such as those foreign visitors, evil gods, and even dominators who liked abundant source power environments, as well as the more terrifying old gods, also known as the Old Ones.

Fortune and misfortune always go hand in hand.

Turning around, Gune scanned the vortex channel back and forth, then withdrew his gaze and moved forward in the direction from which the source power came.

"My strength is still weak now. I can't control the Ancient Shadow Gate well yet. It's better to absorb the flesh and blood of a great dominator or old god like 'Shadow Lord' before manipulating the Ancient Shadow Gate; then it will be easier."

Gune pondered secretly.

During this time, Gune had been browsing many books about the Ancient Shadow Gate brought back from the Morning Radiance Source Clan of the Holy Feather Dark Source.

The "Ancient Shadow Gate" was an extraordinary and peculiar magical gate.

It could be said to be a "world-level" magical item, even more powerful than a destruction-level magical item.

It had the ability to cross vast distances of time and space and possessed the projection ability of "True God's Shadow."

"Moreover, this kind of projection will not be suppressed by a world; even if suppressed, it's only a slight suppression."

"Once I can control the Ancient Shadow Gate, my power projection can project into many transcendent worlds, and then establish Blood Dream Arenas. At least, I can make dozens of larger or smaller transcendent worlds around Guron Tan offer sacrifices to the Nightmare Lord."

"When I advance to transcendent master and absorb the corresponding dominator's flesh and blood, I will be able to use this projection gate accordingly."

After some deliberation, Gune gradually calmed his mind.

The first node entrance ahead was almost here.

A few minutes later.

At the position of the channel node.

Gune stopped.

What met his eyes was a peculiar energy barrier node about half a meter thick.

On the other side of the energy was a void-source channel far wider and larger than the one Gune was in.

This was a medium-sized void-source channel, with a diameter of a full twenty-five to twenty-six meters.

The small void-source channel Gune was in had a diameter of only seven to eight meters, and in narrow places even three to four meters.

At this moment, the energy barrier node blocked the entrance to the small void-source channel where Gune was.

On the wall of the energy barrier node, densely packed alienated creatures were crawling, constantly devouring and absorbing the energy of the barrier.

Fortunately, the source power flowing through continuously replenished the energy barrier.

In the short term, there was no need to worry about these creatures breaking through this node.

Most of the alienated creatures in this area were first and second rank, a few third rank, and only four or five fourth rank.

However, looking out, the medium-sized void-source channel extended outward on both sides, with a large number of alienated creatures covering the entire channel, very numerous.

At this moment, the many alienated creatures saw Gune appear and let out all kinds of sharp, hissing, roaring, grotesque, and twisted sounds, one after another, densely packed.

"Soon, you will all be mine," Gune said to himself.

Gune had long known how to open these nodes.

Pressing one hand against the energy barrier node, Gune quickly constructed a "doorway spell."

A few seconds later.

"Hum!"

With the blooming of the spell and source power fluctuations.

A doorway about two meters high and one meter wide was opened.

The alienated creatures that had been waiting impatiently outside immediately excitedly swarmed toward Gune through the opened doorway.

But their numbers were too great, and the doorway too small, causing them to all get stuck at the doorway for a while, none able to enter.

Seeing this, Gune was both amused and annoyed.

"Better give you a hand!"

With a thought.

"Rustle..."

From within Gune came the sound of surging waves.

Then, within a ten-meter radius around Gune, a surging blood sea revealed its traces.

Immediately after, a blood sea tentacle as thick as Gune's arm shot out and grabbed a second-rank wailing stitched monster.

With a sudden pull.

It was directly yanked out of the crowded doorway and then pulled into the blood sea.

"Howl... howl... howl..."

The second-rank wailing stitched monster felt the threat of death and let out a miserable shriek like a pig being slaughtered.

Then it was submerged by the blood sea.

At the same time, a large number of alienated creatures swarmed in through the doorway.

The blood sea around Gune extended more than twenty blood sea tentacles, all striking out.

Pulling one low- and mid-rank alienated creature after another into the blood sea.

Now, Gune's blood sea cultivation text, the "Blood Origin Sea Divine Code," was already at level five.

Not to mention these low- and mid-rank creatures of third and fourth rank, even fifth- and sixth-rank alienated creatures, if their strength was insufficient, could hardly resist the pull of the blood sea tentacles.

Once pulled into the blood sea, they would quickly be suppressed and digested by the blood sea.

Gune didn't even need to act himself.

With the blood sea blooming around him, the blood sea itself would extend blood sea tentacles and actively pull these alienated creatures in.
