Chapter 916 Tier-Nine White Bone Lotus Throne

He released his Divine Senses, but they were unable to penetrate into the sea of blood.

Ding Hao took out a magical weapon which was a long sword and threw it into the bloody water. With a puff, it instantly vaporized and disappeared.

“This seawater seems to be able to corrode everything. It contains a horrible power.”

Ding Hao gave up the idea of diving into the sea of blood to investigate because it was not under his control. His body might be destroyed by the power of the sea.

Suddenly—

“Well? What is that?”

Ding Hao could feel something strange. A small floating object suddenly appeared in the sea of blood in front of him. It looked like a lotus throne, floating with the waves in the bloody water. It was approaching him being pushed by the surging waves.

“Hiss…” Ding Hao gasped.

This was a lotus throne made of countless shiny white bones. From the distance, it was glistening and was full of a holy aura. But when one looked closer, one could see that it was made of white bones. The bones were not thick and they looked like human bones. They were closely connected together as if an invisible divine hand had glued them together, forming a perfect Tier-Nine Lotus Throne. It was like a beautiful work of art shining with brilliance.

“What kind of creature did these bones belong to? They are not damaged at all in the bloody water that can melt magical weapons?” Ding Hao was stunned.

His eyes were focused on the Tier-Nine White Bone Lotus Throne, and he found a blood cocoon with a diameter of five or six meters.

The blood cocoon was made of thin twining blood wisps. It was oval in shape. There was a faint shimmer flashing between the blood wisps. The blood wisps were countless and dense. One end of each blood wisp wound around the Tier-Nine White Bone Lotus Throne, and the other end was intertwining with other blood wisps, forming a blood cocoon. No one knew how thick the cocoon was. It looked extremely strange, like a huge blood egg.

Ding Hao released his Divine Senses to scan the Tier-Nine White Bone Lotus Throne, but he did not find any danger.

He gently landed on the White Bone Lotus Throne.

Neither the White Bone Lotus Throne nor the blood cocoon seemed to have been naturally formed. It was more like they were constructed by some kind of intelligent creature. They were very artistic, elegant, and magnificent.

Could there be Asuras in this space? Ding Hao felt happy at the thought.

Right at this moment—

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Faint but firm sounds suddenly came from the blood cocoon.

Ding Hao was stunned and listened carefully.

In this way, the sounds became clearer. They were indeed from the blood cocoon. The sounds became clearer and firmer. They were full of rhythms, like the heartbeats of some kind of creature.

“Could it be that the blood cocoon is nurturing some kind of creature?” Ding Hao was amazed.

He observed carefully and finally discovered something.

It turned out that the blood wisps, which were as thin as hair and which made up the blood cocoon, were not concrete. Instead, they were extremely delicate tubes, wrapping around the white bones. At the same time, they were all seeping into the sea of blood. The shimmer that flashed was not light, but some strange substance in the crimson tubes, which was absorbed from the sea of blood. It was constantly being transmitted into the blood cocoon…

Ding Hao was greatly shocked.

What was this weird thing on earth?

Walking around the blood cocoon, he observed it carefully. More and more, he felt that this thing was too strange. It was simply alive.

The delicate blood vessels were like the blood capillaries of living creatures. They were constantly absorbing some kind of energy from the sea of blood and transmitting it to the blood vessels… To be exact, they were transmitting it to the mysterious creature in the blood cocoon.

What kind of terrifying creature would be produced on earth from such a large blood cocoon?

Ding Hao was curious, but he was also a little worried.

Was it one of the creatures of darkness that had destroyed the Asura Path?

Could it be that this sea of blood was formed from the blood of those Asuras that died back then? The creatures of darkness had massacred all Asuras. Then they gathered Asuras’ blood and bones and they formed a sea. They intended to nurture something terrifying?

Ding Hao tried to penetrate the blood cocoon with his Divine Senses to observe, but his Divine Senses could not enter it and were completely blocked.

He tried to activate the Third Eye to observe. When the golden pupil radiance shone on the blood cocoon, it was finally penetrated a little bit. Through layers of cocoons, he could vaguely see the outline of a nearly human-shaped creature. However, the blood cocoon had a horrible blocking power. He could not even see clearly with the Martial Arts Third Eye of Galaxy Tactical Deployment.

A human-shaped creature?

Ding Hao closed his Third Eye. He was full of shock and doubts.

As expected, there was a creature nurtured within. Was it a creature of darkness?

After he thought for a while, a look of determination suddenly appeared on his face. He gritted his teeth and a crystal layer of light appeared around him. The layer of light was protecting him. Then, he slowly walked towards the sea of blood from the White Bone Lotus Throne.

Ding Hao wanted to see what was hidden under the White Bone Lotus Throne.

Bloody water surged towards Ding Hao and submerged his ankles. He carefully observed for a moment and found that the seawater was not able to thoroughly corrode his protective halo. He was relieved and continued to go deeper.

Soon Ding Hao was submerged in the bloody water.

Ding Hao could feel that the surging bloody water in the sea of blood was constantly hitting him. In this environment, the naked eye could only see darkness. He once again activated the golden light ball in his sea of consciousness and opened his Martial Arts Third Eye. Finally, he could see. Everything in front of him was tainted dark red…

Ding Hao was instantly dumbfounded.

At this moment, he finally understood what the tip of an iceberg was.

The area of the Tier-Nine White Bone Lotus Throne above the seawater was only less than a hundred square meters, but the part below the bloody water was shockingly huge. It was like a towering mountain range. Countless white bones formed a mountain range that extended into the distance. One could not see the end of it at a glance. The eerie white bones rose and fell being washed by the bloody water.

It was too big.

It took Ding Hao a long time to come to his senses.

On a closer look, threads of hair-like blood vessels stretched out from the cracks of the mountain of bones. They were swaying gently in the bloody water, constantly absorbing some strange energy in the shape of red light spots. They slowly shrank and were sent up.

The dense blood vessels were like countless hair, which looked extremely weird and terrifying.

Such a small blood cocoon was actually relying on so huge a mountain range made of white bones to absorb the energy in the seawater.

It was impossible to imagine just how many years the mountain range made of white bones had existed.

Nor was it possible to imagine exactly how much red energy the blood cocoon had absorbed over the years.

It would be a terrifying number.

Ding Hao guessed that the creature in the blood cocoon was very likely to possess endless power after it was born. It would be something terrifying.

If it really was a creature of darkness, it would bring about a calamity.

Soon Ding Hao rose above the seawater.

Ding Hao looked hesitant when he stood beside the blood cocoon.

The blood cocoon was too strange and it was somewhat demonic. It was unknown whether it would be a blessing or a curse. After the creature inside was born, it was also unknown how it would affect the entire Asura Path.

“If I destroy it before it’s born, perhaps I can stop a calamity from occurring?” Ding Hao was indecisive.

“What if the creature inside it is not a creature of darkness, but a descendant of Asuras?

“This sea of blood might very well be formed from the blood of the Asuras who have died in battle. Perhaps after thousands of years, might new descendants of Asuras be born from it?

“It’s not impossible.

“If I destroy it before it is born, the Asura clan will see no future and there will be no hope to reestablish the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

“What’s more, it is unfair to the unknown creature in the blood cocoon.”

Just as Ding Hao was hesitating, suddenly—

Crack!

Crack! Crack!

The blood cocoon was suddenly swaying. Then, white cracks slowly appeared on the surface of the blood cocoon.

“It’s about to be born… The blood cocoon is broken. The creature inside it is finally about to be born!”

Ding Hao did not expect that the creature in the blood cocoon would be born at this time.

He hesitated for a moment and stepped back slightly. He decided to wait and see what kind of creature would be born. It was something weird from beginning to end. If it was really a creature of darkness, Ding Hao would never show mercy.

Crack!

Crack! Crack!

The cracks became larger and larger. There were cracks as wide as a palm on the surface of the blood cocoon, which was like a big coconut. Inside it were dense red veins of blood. They were glittering and different layers were interconnected. It was impossible to see what was inside through the cracks, but there was a faint fragrance coming out.

The fragrance was extremely peculiar. It was faintly similar to the fragrance of orchids. The smell was peaceful and elegant.

With a stir of Ding Hao’s mind, a power shield was formed and blocked the smell so that he didn’t inhale it.

Soon, the outer layer of the huge blood cocoon completely cracked. Like an eggshell, it fell around the Tier-Nine White Bone Lotus Throne, revealing a round embryo inside. Its surface was extremely smooth, but it was not red. It was as crystal clear as jade and was white and tender like cooked egg white or the skin of a 16-year-old girl.

“What’s this?” Ding Hao was even more confused.

“Could it be that the enormous blood cocoon, the Tier-Nine White Bone Lotus Throne, and countless delicate red blood vessels together have formed an egg?”

Just as he was puzzled—

Thump!

Thump! Thump!

The clear and powerful heartbeats sounded again, which came exactly from the milky white round embryo.

As if something was struggling out of the embryo, it suddenly shone with a dazzling light. Vaguely, a human-shaped creature could be seen squirming gently, anxious to get out of it…

Ding Hao took another step back.

The crystal light contained a powerful aura that was almost comparable to that of a God Realm Master. It was extremely terrifying, which meant that the creature in the embryo was frightening. It was born with powerful strength so that it could not be underestimated.

Bang!

The embryo suddenly exploded.

A stream of light black flowing light shot out from it like lightning. With a cheer, it instantly soared into the sky.
