"Unseal! Nine Nether Blood Eye!" After reciting the incantation to release the power of the Nine Nether, the endless sea of blood beneath Xiaoxiang began to churn violently, roaring as towering waves of blood surged forth once again.
A strange blood-red magic eye flew out of Xiaoxiang's mouth, hovering above the endless sea of blood, emitting an aura that did not belong to the Seas and Mountains.
This was the forbidden treasure that only Xiaoxiang, as a descendant of the Water God, could use—the Nine Nether Blood Eye, which contained the power of the Nine Nether.
Xiaoxiang clearly remembered what the person who gave her the Nine Nether Blood Eye said at that time:
"This Nine Nether Blood Eye is the key to opening the forbidden door. If one day you are ready, use it to summon the power of our Supreme Wings."
"When that time comes, you can make one wish as your reward."
The laws of the Seas and Mountains were absolute, and the secret realm races within them were bound and could not leave, even the mighty ruler of Qingxu like herself was powerless.
But what she could not do did not mean that no one else could. To oppose and even shatter the absolute boundary set by the laws of the Seas and Mountains, the best choice was naturally those who were not bound by these laws.
"Big sister, what are you doing?" Seeing the strange blood eye hovering above the endless sea of blood, Xiaoliu could not help but tremble slightly.
She could feel the terrifying power contained within that blood eye.
It was a terror that did not belong to the laws of the Seas and Mountains, a manifestation of the infinite abyss. Xiaoliu knew of only one race that possessed such power—the disaster from the Nine Nether Sea—the Nine Nether Race.
"Xiaoliu, I will fulfill your wish. I will make this world no longer obstruct my vision!" Xiaoxiang lifted her nine massive heads and coldly stared at the blood eye emitting a strange aura.
She wanted to change, to change this ridiculous ending, to make Xiaoliu smile again.
No one could stop her, not the laws of the secret realms, not the constraints of the Seas and Mountains, not even the descent of immortals. After seeing Xiaoliu's tears, she no longer cared about any consequences.
Meixue, you have wronged Xiaoliu, so don't blame me for being ruthless.
"Nine Nether Blood Eye, I make a wish to you. I will offer my life to liberate your power." Xiaoxiang drove the endless sea of blood, pouring an endless stream of vital energy into the blood eye.
The Nine Nether Blood Eye, having received the vital energy of the Water God's descendant, began to glow and grow larger. Its deep, dark pupils reflected a distant scene.
It was a black void sea, encompassing everything yet devouring everything, a great terror from a distant place that once plunged the Seas and Mountains into their greatest fear.
"Big sister, that is... the Nine Nether!" Xiaoliu saw and understood what Xiaoxiang was summoning at that moment, something that even the secret realm races feared.
The Nine Nether Sea—a nightmare that suddenly descended upon the Seas and Mountains in a certain era, the power of the Nine Nether Race that emerged from it remains incomprehensible to this day.
For something incomprehensible and unanalyzable, all the races of the Seas and Mountains and the secret realms felt uneasy. The battle to seal the Nine Nether Race was one of the few times the secret realm races cooperated with the major powers of the Seas and Mountains.
But now, what Xiaoxiang was doing was clearly to summon the power of the Nine Nether Race.
"Eat, eat!" Xiaoxiang's body gradually shrank, the price of sacrificing her own bloodline. The loss of this vital energy might take millions of years to recover.
But she did not care. To fulfill Xiaoliu's wish and to no longer see those sad tears, this price was nothing.
Her entire bloodline was boiling, and her nine massive heads began to shrink in sequence, finally withering and breaking off like ancient trees, falling into the endless sea of blood and dissolving into blood water, which was absorbed by the Nine Nether Blood Eye in the sky.
One, two, three... In Xiaoliu's almost tearful eyes, Xiaoxiang's nine heads were reduced to three.
The heads that fell could not be restored, as Xiaoxiang had already abandoned them, sacrificing the life essence that formed them.
The Nine Nether Blood Eye, having received the power of Xiaoxiang's six heads, had grown to cover half the sky, and the once still surface of the Nine Nether Sea began to ripple.
"They are coming." Xiaoxiang, having lost six heads and the remaining three being listless, smiled. After paying such a great price, she finally connected with the Nine Nether Sea.
Although she did not know what was about to emerge from the Nine Nether Sea, it was undoubtedly a Nine Nether Race that would shock the Seas and Mountains.
Only such a great terror could achieve what she could not, fulfill what she could not accomplish.
"Big sister, we..." Xiaoliu clearly knew what Xiaoxiang was doing, but precisely because of this, she understood how terrifying the thing that was about to emerge from the Nine Nether Sea would be.
It was a terror that made the endless sea of blood tremble with just a wisp of its aura. If it all emerged, Xiaoliu could not even imagine what the scene would be like.
What kind of Nine Nether Race was this, to possess such a terrifying aura?
"Yes, this is what it takes." For Xiaoxiang, the more powerful the Nine Nether Race that appeared, the better, because the wish she was about to make was earth-shattering, completely changing the fate of all the secret realm races in the Seas and Mountains.
"Whoosh!" In the black Nine Nether Sea, something was about to emerge. Countless green light points had already appeared, dancing around Xiaoliu and Xiaoxiang.
"What is your wish?" An ancient and沧桑 (weathered) voice echoed in Xiaoliu and Xiaoxiang's ears, a voice that contained thousands of years of history, a voice from the end of time and space.
"Boom!" Xiaoliu's massive body began to crack, but her eyes were filled with joy.
She could feel the terrifying power, the great terror that did not belong to the laws of the Seas and Mountains.
Yes, this was what she wanted to see, what she wanted to appear.
This was good, it had to be this way.
"My wish is..." Xiaoxiang struggled to lift her head, her eyes almost blurry, and looked at the massive silhouette emerging from the Nine Nether Sea, making her wish, a wish that would completely change the fate of all the secret realm races in the Seas and Mountains.
"To make all the boundaries of the secret realms in the Seas and Mountains disappear, to allow all the secret realm races to go to that world, to grant Xiaoliu complete freedom."
This was Xiaoxiang's wish. She knew Xiaoliu's heart better than anyone, her longing for humans.
Because, in that world, there was someone she liked, a young man who once held her hand and brought her warmth.
At that time, these two people were certainly in love, just one step away from mutual affection and a small, insignificant happiness.
But because of her mistake, Xiaoliu and Meixue missed each other forever, and when they met again, everything had changed, leaving only Xiaoliu's sad tears.
She would not allow herself to make another mistake, so she had to change, to change this unfair world.
Clearly, all the secret realms were born from the Seas and Mountains, but why could the races living in the secret realms not live under that sunlight?
Clearly, two people who loved each other, why could they not be together, just because of the trivial rules of this world?
This damned world, this damned constraint, she had to break it, even if it meant burning her life.
"..." The mysterious Nine Nether Race, upon hearing Xiaoxiang's wish, fell into a long silence, a silence that made Xiaoxiang think the wish could not be fulfilled.
Then, countless green light points flew out of the Nine Nether Sea, dancing in the secret realm "Qingxu," forming a massive silhouette.
Soon, the entire Qingxu, from the first to the last layer, was filled with these green light points.
After occupying the entire Qingxu, these green light points began to travel through the spatial passages connecting the various secret realms of the Seas and Mountains to other secret realms.
Qinglong Mountains, Baihu Mountains, Zhuque Mountains, Xuanwu Mountains, Huangshan, Taishan, Huashan, Hengshan, Qingcheng, Songshan...
Canghai, Storm Sea, Yaoci, Tianchi, Huaqing, Yuming Sea, Tianhai...
All the secret realms in the Seas and Mountains, all the secret realm races, saw these green light points and felt the power from the distant end.
This power was not bound by the Seas and Mountains, not even the spatial storms raging in the passages could destroy them. Using the secret realm Qingxu as a reference point, they quickly connected to all the secret realms.
Finally, they reached the forbidden area "Yueyuehai," which was suppressed by the full power of the laws of the Seas and Mountains.
One by one, the Nine Nether Races saw the green light points flying out of the void, and one by one, they lowered their proud heads, showing respect to the owner of the green light points.
Several Nine Nether Races, gathered together, knelt on the ground, paying the highest respect to the green light points dancing in the air.
"Welcome to the Seas and Mountains, great Supreme Wings."
The next second, all the secret realm races and the Nine Nether Races heard a song, an ancient, tender, and nostalgic song.
"Twinkle, twinkle, little snowflower, small and white, clean and bright, talk to me."
"Snowflower, snowflower, so happy to bloom, so joyful to open."
"Snowflower, snowflower, my dear little one, come quickly, come and be with me."
"Snowflower, snowflower, my little snowflake, I want to be with you every day."
"Snowflower, snowflower, come and find me."
Accompanied by the slightly sad, nostalgic song, all the secret realms in the Seas and Mountains saw the wings that unfolded from the Nine Nether Sea, crossing countless spaces.
It was an incredibly beautiful, life-filled green wing, like the embodiment of the vital energy of all living things in heaven and earth. The crystal-clear feathers had no strange feeling, but were filled with the aura of the birth of all things.
"Praise you, our Supreme Wings."
"Green light, the flying princess."
On that day, all humans saw and felt the power that descended from another world.
It was a wing that tore through the constraints of the laws of the Seas and Mountains, extending from all the secret realms, a crystal-clear, eternally beautiful green wing.
