Chapter 669: Chapter 290: Breakthrough, Source of Five-Ring Magic Power

In a distant place, the Sea of Death is known for its endless terror and mystery.

The sea waters here seem cursed, with dark blue waves appearing somber and ominous under the sunlight, often accompanied by violent storms and eerie currents.

Many brave souls have attempted to explore these waters, but most vanished without a trace.

In the ports, taverns are filled with rumors about the Sea of Death.

They tell stories of those cursed ships:

Amidst the howling gales, some have heard whispers from the abyss, a sound like the crying of the undead, chilling to the bone.

Whenever the breeze lightly brushes, those voices of the undead become clearer, as if calling the lost to return.

There are also rumors that at night, when moonlight spills over the waves, someone has seen strange figures floating on the water’s surface.

They sway and twist like nightmares, constantly beckoning nearby boats.

Whether these shadows are spirits or evil spirits, no one knows, but everyone who has witnessed the scene swears never to approach that terrifying place again.

More frightening is a phenomenon called “Black Tide” that quietly flows in the depths of the Sea of Death, a power formed by ancient bloodlines that can lure and devour any explorer.

Those lost within suffer the torment of intertwined illusions and nightmares, some even seeing the faces of their deceased loved ones, tempting them into despair and madness.

Some old sailors mention the “Ghost Fleet.”

A ghostly crew composed of ships that never returned, they roam the dark tides, bound by spells to these waters, attacking any boat of the living they sight.

Whoever steps onto this fleet will become an eternal member, never to escape.

Additionally, a creature known as the “Fierce Fin” exists only deep within the Sea of Death.

These creatures swim at great speed, and every time they skim the surface, they bring a bone-chilling cold.

It’s said they are undead creatures mutated from experiments of bloodline mages.

They can feed on blood and prey on humans who mistakenly enter their realm, ensuring a terrible fate for their marked victims.

Because of these dreadful stories, people hold the Sea of Death in awe, with no one willing to risk getting near.

But among the tales of the Sea of Death, it’s said that the only Legendary Mage of the Wizard World to break through the Seven Rings disappeared here.

He is called the “Master of Bloodline,” once ruling these waters with unparalleled power, mastering forbidden magic that manipulates life, death, time, and space.

People say he could turn rain into blood, transform a sea into a desert in an instant, and summon ancient beings from the abyss.

The wizard sealed part of his soul in a place known as the “Vitality Altar,” believed to be the pathway to his source of power.

Those who attempt to explore this altar all speak of its terror and ominousness.

Rumor has it that the altar is surrounded by invisible curses, and anyone daring to approach faces life and death dilemmas.

They encounter fear of losing direction, nightmares from illusions, and the despair brought by the Black Tide.

Some claim to see shadows within the dark tides.

Those are ones who tried to approach wizard power but failed, endlessly wandering here, calling out for what they lost.

Others mention a mysterious rune, engraved on the altar, as the method to uncover the secrets of the legendary sorcerer.

This rune is believed to be the key to higher realms, but to obtain it, one must face challenges from the abyss, which often surpass human limits, requiring a duel of will and spirit.

Only those who achieve victory in extreme pain and despair can have the opportunity to contact that great power.

There are also rumors mentioning a ghost ship hidden in a secret corner of the Sea of Death, lost in the vast ocean during the pursuit of this Legendary Mage.

It’s said the ship is filled with trapped souls.

They seem to guard some secret, and once a living person approaches, they attack like a storm, dragging them into endless darkness.

And every time the moonlight shines on the undulating sea, someone claims to hear distant whispers, the eerie and ominous call of the dead, the lost, or ancient creatures.

In such an atmosphere, hearts are restless, naturally not daring to act rashly.

Those who have successfully touched the path of the Legendary Mage often appear bewildered.

As if returning from another world, they are reticent about their experiences, leaving only vague and flashing words.

“There, it is a place where eternity and destruction intertwine.”

All these make the Sea of Death an important forbidden zone that explorers can’t quell in their hearts yet can’t resist.

In this deep ocean filled with terrifying legends and unknown mysteries, wizards always believe that it hides the method to break through the Seventh Ring and become a Legendary Mage.

For many, that sea area is filled with the unknown and fear.

But for those who pursue power above all, it is an endless opportunity.

David didn’t expect a bloodline mage could be hidden within the Sea of Death.

“Besides the location, what else do you know?” David asked further.

He realized that this information could directly influence their future action plan.
