"Two doomsday presences?"

At this remark, everyone fighting valiantly was stunned.

The next moment, they too seemed to sense the energy fluctuations from afar, their faces instantly turning grim!

"Indeed, there are two doomsday presences... How is this possible? Has the Forbidden Sea not only expanded its territory, but also birthed a second doomsday entity?"

"Legend has it that Jizai is inherently lazy and dislikes conflict. If not for that, we wouldn't dare cross the Forbidden Sea... But if a second doomsday entity appears, things will be completely different."

If this were true, it would undoubtedly be terrible news for their group. Even if they all banded together, they likely wouldn't survive exiting the Forbidden Sea today.

"That shouldn't be... Doomsday entities should repel each other. How could two appear in one territory?"

Bang—!!

Hong Xiu used her spear to send a calamity flying, its massive monster body plunging into the sea, sending up a large spray of water mixed with ice shards.

Hong Xiu watched the increasing number of calamities around her, the killing intent in her eyes growing colder. Just as she was about to raise her spear and carve out another bloody path, a calamity suddenly seemed to sense something, plunging straight into the seabed with a splash, vanishing without a trace.

Then came the second, and the third...

The calamities, which had been surrounding the Judgment Squad, now seemed to have encountered a plague god, frantically fleeing into the distance.

Within mere seconds, this sea area was left with only churning bloody water, floating calamity corpses, and the bewildered, injured members of the Judgment Squad.

"The calamities have all retreated?" a Judgment Squad member asked in surprise. "What happened?"

"In the ocean, when schools of fish suddenly flee en masse without warning, it often means something more terrifying... is approaching."

"This is the Forbidden Sea; what could be more terrifying?"

"...Look over there, aren't there three people?"

A voice suddenly spoke.

On the dead, oppressive sea surface, everyone looked into the distance simultaneously.

Lead-grey clouds hung like suspended mountains, pressing down on the horizon. On the sea, strewn with endless ice floes and body parts, three figures were walking leisurely through the air, stepping on nothing...

One held a red paper umbrella and wore a large red opera robe, appearing as the sole splash of scarlet in this grey world. Even with the umbrella's brim obscuring half his face, everyone could sense a menacing aura, looking down on the world, sweeping across the Forbidden Sea.

Another, also in an opera robe, looked like a young boy, hands clasped behind his back, strolling as if in his own garden. His demigod-level pressure contended with that of the red paper umbrella figure on the sea surface, almost suffocating everyone.

The third wore black clothes and had a wolf tail hairstyle, his gaze as cold and stern as an iceberg. Although no powerful aura emanated from him, every movement carried a hint of mystery.

The moment these three appeared in everyone's sight, astonishment filled the faces of every member of the Judgment Squad!

Under the pressure of a doomsday entity and a demigod, even several Judgment Enforcers dared not make a move. They stood there like statues, watching the three pass by them.

On the stage of death and cold that was the Forbidden Sea, they, who had carved out a bloody path, were not the protagonists... those three were.

As they passed the group, the young man with the wolf tail hairstyle and stern expression cast a fleeting glance their way, then withdrew his gaze and continued, without looking back, with the other two into the depths of the Forbidden Sea.

He was the only one of the three who reacted to the Judgment Squad members. The red paper umbrella figure and the opera robe boy beside him did not even spare them a glance. It was precisely because of this that the young man's face, in that instant, seemed to brand itself, deeply etched into everyone's hearts...

A question arose in everyone's mind:

—Who exactly are they?

In this suffocating silence, the three figures gradually moved away, disappearing from their sight. Only then did their tense bodies finally relax...

"A doomsday entity... a demigod... walking together?? How is that possible?"

"Wait, that red paper umbrella figure emits a doomsday aura, but from his appearance, he's human... Which doomsday entity is that?"

"And that opera robe boy, is there really a demigod that young in the world?"

"Thinking about it, the young man in black is the strangest. To walk side-by-side with a doomsday entity and a demigod... What is his background?"

"They just casually walked into the depths of the Forbidden Sea? What do they intend to do?"

Filled with questions, the crowd whispered on the sea surface. Several Judgment Enforcers also exchanged bewildered glances.

"The surrounding calamities have been scared away, let's seize the opportunity!" Hong Xiu no longer bothered thinking about the three, instead speaking decisively at once, "Let's use this chance to break out; we can minimize casualties!"

"Alright!!"

"Thanks to these three, otherwise, to break out of the Forbidden Sea, at least half of us would have died."

"After we leave the Forbidden Sea, immediately report what happened just now... A doomsday entity and a demigod, jointly infiltrating the Forbidden Sea, this news is enough to shake the Five Great Realms."

On the churning sea, Jian Changsheng silently let out a sigh of relief.

"As expected of the Forbidden Sea, it can even create such realistic illusions... What was that called? A mirage?" Jian Changsheng muttered to himself, "I knew it; how could humans appear in a hellhole like the Forbidden Sea? Luckily, I wasn't fooled."

Master cast a subtle look at him, but said nothing.

"Speaking of which, we've practically reached Jizai's doorstep, and it still hasn't reacted?" Jian Changsheng was still somewhat worried.

"Chen Ling" was a doomsday entity, Master was a demigod, but he was just a true X-tier. If a doomsday war truly erupted, the aftershocks alone might blow him to pieces, so his worry was understandable.

"Jizai?" "Chen Ling" scoffed, "A coward who has power but is willing to be a cowering turtle... Even if I ride on its face, it wouldn't dare react."

In his words, "Chen Ling" was full of disdain for Jizai. It wasn't the first time he had dealt with that guy, but never once had that guy dared to confront him directly... whether in the Grey Realm, or back when Aurora City was on the verge of destruction, it was always the same.

"So, where exactly is this place you want to go?"

Sensing "Chen Ling's" impatient gaze, Master slightly lowered his head, looking towards the center of the Forbidden Sea, to the location emitting the aura of another doomsday entity... He extended his hand, pointing there and saying:

"Oh, it's very close. It's right inside the belly of that 'coward' you mentioned."
