High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 1797 - 789: Demon Heart Lake

Chapter 1797: Chapter 789: Demon Heart Lake

The outside world was in constant turmoil, yet Li Yuan paid little attention to it. Alongside Qing Qi Dominator, he sped forward without encountering any obstacles.

In just over a day, they had already reached the outskirts of Demon Heart Lake.

Buzz~ Li Yuan and Qing Qi Dominator passed through the waters, and the flow around them dissipated entirely. The two had entered a void world.

“Has the flow of the Ancient Ruins Sea been isolated?” Li Yuan’s gaze swept around.

“Heart Origin, look over there, that’s Demon Heart Lake,” Qing Qi Dominator slowed down and pointed to the distant void.

“Demon Heart Lake?” Li Yuan stood in the void and looked afar.

According to what Li Yuan knew, the Ancient Ruins Sea was originally like an endless ocean with immeasurable waters, and no one could pinpoint where it ended.

After all, the legendary ’Eternal Road’ lies deep within the Ancient Ruins Sea, filled with peril.

But now, the endless waters of the Ancient Ruins Sea seemed to be hindered by an invisible force, forming a huge void world here. Observed from a higher dimension, this void world resembled a giant hollow sphere… And at its center, a huge lake floated.

The lake’s water was black, flowing mightily, not vast compared to the Ancient Ruins Sea, more like a wave amidst the endless ocean.

Yet, the aura it emitted was grandly vast, bringing a strong sense of oppression.

“The summoning sensation from my soul lies deep within this Demon Heart Lake.” Li Yuan felt a twinge in his heart since arriving at the Long River Ruins.

He had felt an invisible pressure looming over his heart, giving him a huge sense of danger, something other strong individuals hadn’t heard of.

On the other hand, Li Yuan kept sensing something deep within the Long River Ruins, seemingly calling to him.

Though the reason for this dangerous sensation hadn’t been found yet, at least Li Yuan had reached the source of the summoning.

“An island?” Li Yuan faintly saw a giant island emerging amidst the mighty black lake water, appearing intermittently under the impact of the lake.

Moreover, there seemed to be several strong figures on the island.

“Hmm.”

“More accurately, they are reefs,” Qing Qi Dominator said seriously, “The lake water in Demon Heart Lake is extremely dangerous, naturally containing the Power of Void, continuously creating illusionary realms to confuse cultivators. The longer one stays in the water, the more terrifying the illusions they encounter.”

“Even a Dominator, if they dare dive deep into the lake, could face the disaster of losing their way over time, resulting in a shattered consciousness and complete demise.”

“That’s why it’s called Demon Heart Lake.”

“Furthermore, in Demon Heart Lake, there are many special life-forms called ’Demon Spirits.’ They merge with the lake water, having very low spiritual wisdom, primarily with a slaughter instinct, yet their strength is terrifying…”

“Only the numerous reefs are relatively safe; there is no lake water on the reefs, and most of the time, the Demon Spirits won’t tread on them,” Qing Qi Dominator stated.

Li Yuan listened attentively.

He knew roughly of this information before, but seeing it firsthand made a difference.

“To enter the depths of Demon Heart Lake, one must proceed along the reefs, continuing until reaching Myriad Heart Island,” Qing Qi Dominator continued, “Across Myriad Heart Island is the true core of Demon Heart Lake—Eternal Divine Palace! That legendary holy weapon.”

Li Yuan’s eyes brightened, for he came to the Long River Ruins seeking the Eternal Divine Palace.

“Let’s go. With our strength, most of the dangers in Demon Heart Lake can be ignored. We can quickly reach Myriad Heart Island,” Qing Qi Dominator said with a smile.

“Alright,” Li Yuan nodded.

The two major dangers of Demon Heart Lake, like the ’Void Illusion Realm’ contained in the lake water, posed little threat to those who had mastered the Heart Device Dao.

As for Demon Spirits? One of them was a genuine Dominator, the other nearly Dominator level; unless it was a massive gathering, they could ignore them.

This is power!

Places of peril and difficulties… For those with immense strength, they are like walking on flat ground.

Whoosh! Whoosh! The two transformed into streams of light across the void and soon reached the edge of Demon Heart Lake.

…

On a giant dark red reef, the lake water constantly crashed against the rock shore, and on the reef, there were dozens of low-rank quasi-saints squatting.

They all stared at the black lake water.

“Demon Heart Lake indeed produces many special treasures, some that can assist in comprehending the Heart Device Dao, some that can be forged into Heart Device Dao Emperor Weapons, and others that can quickly restore soul injuries… Simply waiting here, occasionally, the lake will wash some exotic treasures ashore,” these low-rank quasi-saints thought.

They guarded the area, naturally for treasures.

For low-rank quasi-saints, their strength was too weak to venture into the lake water; thus, they could only adopt the clumsy method—wait!

As long as they waited long enough, there would eventually be harvest… Moreover, for them, obtaining even one item in tens of thousands of years was worth tens or even hundreds of thousands of Eternal Crystals.

Suddenly.

“Boom!” “Boom!” Two extremely terrifying auras descended, sweeping across the world. The unimaginable might generated by their astonishing speed created roaring waves within Demon Heart Lake, with surging water sweeping toward the reefs where the numerous low-rank quasi-saints were.

“Quickly retreat.”

“Don’t get contaminated.” The faces of the numerous low-rank quasi-saints changed, not daring to be careless.

Though they wouldn’t necessarily fall upon contact with the lake water, they couldn’t ensure whether the water contained danger, so they naturally retreated to higher ground on the reef.

They couldn’t help but look to the skies.
