Chapter 272 Hidden Dangers


    The Raksa Sea was a relic of an ancient time. If one wished to go there, aside from having great


    strength, he would also need seven grand warriors'' blood essence. The blood essence was crucial to


    the activation of the altar that transferred the people to the Raksa Sea. Apart from that, entering of the


    Raksa Sea had an age-restriction  and only those who were under the age of thirty were allowed to


    enter. For that reason, grand warriors often employed the help of superior talents.


    Like Chad had mentioned, the Raksa Sea did not only hold Primitive Stones, it also held a great


    abundance of other treasures. Every superior talent aspired to be able to go there someday—and that


    day was now.


    Over seventy of the current superior talents from the Earth Chart of the Talent Roll were summoned by


    the grand warriors to enter the Raksa Sea.


    Seven grand warriors stood in front of the ck altar, their long robes fluttering in the howling wind. The


    superior talents that were standing behind them felt incredibly intimidated by the domineering aura that


    they were emitting.


    "May I have everyone''s attention, please. When a crack opens from the altar, you are to immediately


    enter it. Do not waste any second. Do you understand?" one of the grand warriors told them, his


    booming voice reverberating in the air.


    "Yes, sir!" the superior talents responded in unison.


    All the superior talents then fixed their eyes on the altar, holding their breath as they waited for the


    crack to open. The altar would only be open for a very short amount of time, so they had to dash


    towards it with their full speed once the crack appeared.


    At that moment, the seven grand warriors'' strengths had reached the top level, so they then began


    transferring their power. Soon, the blood essence spilled out from their chests and flowed towards the


    altar.


    Everyone''s attention was focused on the altar, and thus no one noticed the several gloomy shadows


    that were floating in the air, intently watching the scene.


    "Distinguished Grand Blood Refiner, look at thatd. He''s the one who came out of the Ancient Void


    Battlefield. I suspect that he still has Primitive Stones," a figure from the shadows said. He had been


    following Darren for several days.


    "Is it because you want to wait for him to collect more Primitive Stones from the Raksa Sea and take all


    those treasures once you''ve killed him?"


    The four shadows floating in the air turned their heads to look at the direction of a man. He was


    dressed in ck shirt and wore a bamboo hat.


    That man took off his hat, revealing his frightening face. Half of it was exposed skull and the other half


    was rotting flesh.


    "No. This time, I will go to the Raksa Sea myself," the man replied in a rough harsh voice. Aside from


    his unfavorable appearance, he was also wafting with a horrible stench. If someone were toe

    close to the man, they would definitely smell the foul scent of blood and decay emitting from him.


    "Sir, have you alreadypletely grasped the Avatar Blood Refining Skill? That''s great!


    Congrattions, sir!"


    the four young men eximed while keeping their voices low. However, they all wore looks of sheer


    terror on their faces as something suddenly urred to them.


    "After hundreds of years, I have finally grasped the Avatar Blood Refining Skill. I can finally go to the


    Raksa Sea myself!" The man''s hoarse voice grew louder and raspier, making the four young men


    tremble in fear.


    "Humph!" The man snorted at the trembling young men. He slightly raised his rotten hands in the air


    and a bloody aura emitted from his body. In a split second, the four men were tightly enveloped inside


    his power.


    Blood suddenly flowed violently out from their foreheads. Before they even had the chance to cry out,


    they dropped dead and lifeless onto the ground. The man''s body then divided into four and each went


    straight for the corpses of the young men. A few momentster, the young men regained their


    consciousness. The coppery smell of blood instantly pervaded and wafted in the air as their eyes


    opened.


    They began to slowly walk towards the rest of the talents and sat among them.


    One of them approached Darren.


    "Huh?" Darren suddenly felt a slight chill in the air.


    He jerked his head around and found nothing out of the ordinary.


    Boom!


    In that moment, a deep crack appeared at the ck altar. An ancient aura suddenly spread towards


    them.


    "It is open!"


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    All the superior talents dashed into the crack at full speed.


    Darren shrugged off the strange chill he felt and followed Chad''s disciples into the ck crack.


    Inside the endless darkness, Darren felt as if he was being enveloped by a continuous st of strong


    howling winds. The tremendous power of the winds pped against his skin. It felt as if it was tearing


    him apart.


    Although Darren''s body was strong, he still had not reached the Wonder Realm. Most of the superior


    talents who entered the Raksa Sea, on the other hand, had reached the advanced stage of the Wonder


    Realm and were therefore faring much better against the powerful wind than Darren was.


    "It looks like Darren is experiencing some difficulties. Everybody,e and help him." Tom was the first


    one who noticed that Darren was struggling.


    They were all superior talents who were recruited by Chad. After spending time with these twelve


    talents for a month, Darren came to know that they were all nice people.


    They enveloped Darren with their power, instantly relieving the pressure off him.


    In actuality, if Darren had used his demonic transformation skill, enduring the pressure would have


    been a piece of cake for him. However, he wanted to avoid using it as much as possible, so he decided


    not to use it.


    "Thank you so much, everyone," Darren said, giving every single one of the talents a grateful nod.


    "You''re a friend of Tom, and we are a team. It''s only natural that we helped you," one of them replied.


    "That''s right. Even after we enter the Raksa Sea, we should still help each other."


    Everyone nodded in agreement. An atmosphere of harmony emanated inside the ck crack.


    Quite a long whileter, everyone started to get tired of waiting. They had no idea when they would be


    able to get out of there. Then suddenly, a bright ray of light hit everyone''s eyes and the tremendous


    power pressing against their bodies immediately disappeared. They could heard the sound of waves


    breaking on the shore.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Just as they were starting to rejoice, an ominous feeling suddenly washed over them.


    As Darren and the others dashed out of the ck crack, a powerful force dragged them down. All


    thirteen of them fell hard on the stone ground.


    "Shit! What happened? What was that powerful pull?"


    They were all starting to panic. The heavy pull was making it difficult for them to fly off into the sky.


    What was more, they fell extremely hard on the stone ground, hard enough that it would cause any


    other ground to crack. However, they found it peculiar that there weren''t any signs of cracks on the


    stone ground. Given that fact, it was apparent that the stone ground was extremely hard, probably even


    indestructible.


    "We fell on some kind of strange ind!" one eximed.


    They scanned their surroundings and found that they were on an expansive ind that was filled with


    bare gray stones. Numerous stones could be seen for a radius of over ten kilometers. When they


    walked further, they saw that there was a vast ocean in the distance.


    Bang!


    Several other people fell out of the ck crack. They were the superior talents who belonged to the


    other two grand warriors'' teams.


    As for the other four grand warriors'' superior talents, they might fall from the ck crack too. It was


    also possible that they already fell and probablynded somewhere that Darren''s group could not see.


    ...


    Back at the altar outside of the ck crack, the seven grand warriors had begun to rest. Using up a


    However, they all smiled contentedly, seeing that all the superior talents had sessfully entered the


    ck crack. They were all looking forward to the talents'' sess in retrieving a great deal of treasures.


    "Ann, did you feel something strange? I can''t but feel a little uneasy," a grand warrior said.


    "You felt that too?" Ann pursed her lips, worry starting to creep into her.


    As soon as the two mentioned it, an unsettling feeling washed over all the other grand warriors. They


    furrowed their eyebrows in thought.


    "Now that you''ve mentioned it, I did feel a strange aura as well. But we were in a critical moment at the


    time, so I didn''t give much thought about it."


    As masters who reached the Grand Realm, they all had acute senses. Even the slightest of


    movements would not be able to escape their attention. It was frightening to think that several grand


    warriors all sensed the same unsettling disturbance.


    "Baron, you should check on it." Chad turned to the grand warrior beside him.


    Baron was regarded as the one who had the strongest spiritual sense. If he wanted to investigate an


    aura, even if it was left by a bird that passed by ten years ago, he would be able to find it.


    Baron nodded in agreement. He immediately used his special spiritual sense to examine everything


    around them.


    After searching for a while, Baron''s eyes suddenly widened in shock. "It''s him! I''m afraid that those


    superior talents may be in grave danger. They might die in the ck crack."
