Chapter 2498: Chapter 2518: I Respect You as a True Man!

After waiting for several days in the prison and welcoming a few "newcomers," everyone was finally taken out collectively and boarded a passenger flying boat.

The journey was uneventful, and everyone was safely delivered to the Kutuo Sea.

The Kutuo Sea was not a part of the Northern Sea, but a Secret Realm sea area, with several entrances and exits, all guarded by members of the Sea God Sect. That’s why, after casting people into the Kutuo Sea, there was no need to worry about their escape.

Upon entering the Kutuo Sea, each person also received a map of the Kutuo Sea and a survival manual for it.

Lin Chen passed through the entrance’s Teleportation Gate and in a blur, he was already above a sea area.

The Sky was bright, but the Sun was nowhere to be seen. The sea was vast, with no end in sight, and apart from the sea water, nothing else was visible.

Everyone made the same decision, which was to follow the map to seek out the fair on the deserted island first, to inquire about the situation before considering where to collect the Clam Pearls.

The group flew forward in formation, and in less than an hour, the originally bright sky suddenly became clouded with a dark mass, and a Gale blew over the sea surface, with a lot of pure spiritual Qi rising from it. This spiritual Qi quickly rolled together and the more it rolled, the greater its volume grew, much like huge waves of spiritual Qi.

Although the breeze was originally a cool sensation on the skin, Lin Chen suddenly felt that it was becoming sharp, like the bitter cold weather, the cold wind hitting his face felt like the scrape of a tiny icy knife.

As the sky turned darker, endless spiritual Qi gathered into invisible waves, constantly sweeping across Between Heaven and Earth, scouring all space, leaving nowhere to hide.

Someone took out a Magical Treasure to set up a Protective Shield for themselves, but this action seemed to anger the sweeping tides, which furiously assaulted the Protective Shield. The radiance of the shield visibly dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lin Chen did not use a Magical Treasure to set up a Barrier; the manual had mentioned that these spiritual Qi tides would only stop for about two hours a day, and the rest of the time they would be in a frenzied state.

This was a world of chaos and fury!

It was not that one could not sustain a Barrier; the key issue was that it required spiritual power to do so. With such rapid consumption of spiritual power over such long periods every day, no one could withstand it.

With no cover in midair to shield from the spiritual Qi tide, and with even more abundant and fierce spiritual Qi in the sea, capable of tearing apart any obstacle, hiding underwater would be futile.

If one could cross the raging sea and sink all the way to the sea bottom, and then use Earth Escape to hide beneath the seabed, that would mostly avoid the power of the spiritual Qi tide. However, the manual stated that this sea area was unfathomable, with greater danger the deeper one went. Probably one wouldn’t even reach the bottom before meeting their end.

The sensation of being pricked grew stronger and stronger, and there were people screaming loudly, as if they were being bitten by venomous snakes, falling from the sky into the sea, and then, like being bitten in the butt by sharks, they rose to the sky screaming in agony.

The pain was like a sharp knife constantly cutting your flesh, like a bonesetter endlessly grinding at your bones; And the pain wasn’t just on the surface of the body, but penetrated deep within.

Pain!

Pain everywhere, from the inside out, top to bottom!

Although Lin Chen felt significant pain as well, he found it bearable because he discovered that his bones were too hard; the blades, like those of a bonesetter, could not budge his bones.

The pain on the surface of the body was bearable with some endurance.

Lin Chen had, in the past, endured the excruciating process of tempering his entire body’s bones into Sword Bone, having to work on each and every bone. Having withstood such torment, the pain now was not unbearable for him.

Pain was inescapable; one who could not endure it had no place in this sea area.

"Brother, don’t you feel pain?"

Someone, noticing Lin Chen’s calm demeanor, couldn’t help but speak up, which immediately drew many people’s eyes.

This kid was impressive, to be able to keep a straight face amidst such pain.

Lin Chen replied, "I’ve been injured before, and it was very painful. I got used to it."

With that statement, everyone’s gaze towards Lin Chen instantly gained a few more degrees of respect.

How terribly and for how long must one be in pain to remain calm and composed in the face of such horrific pain?

I salute you for being so tough!

The Middle-aged man who had kept an eye on Lin Chen all the way was silent and reticent. Now, he too looked at Lin Chen with a surprised expression, his eyes flickering as if pondering how Lin Chen could withstand such painful injuries!

"Although the spiritual Qi tides test us greatly and are a complete physical torture, if we can endure the pain they bring, we can completely use the spiritual Qi tides for cultivation!"

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up; this suggestion was great.

With such rich spiritual Qi tides, if he cultivated, his strength would increase much faster!

Isn’t this pain accompanied by joy?
