Chapter 1055: Entering the Void Sea!

“What? Fallen?”

Merlin, Azulon, Caesar, and the others were crestfallen. They had worked so hard to protect the barrier from being breached by the Void Beast but now, the barrier had fallen?

It was not surprising that Merlin and the others gave such a big reaction. This barrier of the Void Sea was critical that it was almost the final barrier. If even this barrier had fallen, destruction was imminent.

Seeing the scandalized looks on Merlin and the others, Tyron replied helplessly, “Yes, it has fallen. You’ve worked very hard to protect this barrier but other places were not as lucky. This time, something must’ve happened in the Void Sea. The Void Beasts attacked in unison. Almost the entire barrier had been breached. Other than a small handful who managed to stop the Void Beasts with great difficulty, every other place had been breached. Our barrier is now riddled with holes. At least twenty Void Beasts had broken through the barrier.”

Tyron relayed the news to them in detail. This news was truly shocking. Previously, they were committed to guarding this barrier but in the end, the barrier had not been safeguarded.

More than twenty Void Beasts had broken through the barrier and there were even more Void Beasts behind them which were continuously attacking the barrier. The entire world faced imminent destruction.

It would not be easy to herd these Void Beasts back into the Void Sea again.

In that regard, even the five top Major Cosmos Absolute Beings were powerless. For a time, everyone’s moods sunk as they stood quietly in the air.

After a moment, Merlin asked with a dejected air, “Teacher Tyron, is there nothing else we can do? We cannot just sit here and await our deaths!”

Certainly, they could not sit around and await their deaths. Merlin knew very well that no matter what kind of circumstances they were in, they could not give up. In the past, he also faced countless life and death situations. It was because he did not give up that he got to where he was now.

Currently, only twenty Void Beasts had broken through the barrier. They still had a chance.

A glint flashed across Tyron’s eyes. In a deep voice, he said, “Yes, we cannot give up. However, it’s too difficult to herd these Void Beasts back into the Void Sea. Even the joint forces of the five top Major Cosmos Absolute Beings aren’t viable. Therefore, we suspect that something must’ve happened in the Void Sea. Us old folks are preparing to enter the Void Sea and find out what happened.”

“Enter the Void Sea?”

Merlin was confused but Azulon and Caesar beside him understood what it meant. This was the Void Sea. Even a Major Cosmos Absolute Being appeared infinitesimal in the Void Sea. If they encountered a large number of Void Beasts, even a Major Cosmos Absolute Being could die.

For this reason, the Void Sea had always been a forbidden place for every Free Being or Controller. Even Major Cosmos Absolute Beings did not dare step foot in it lightly.

This time, however, Tyron was going to enter the Void Zone. It would be akin to passing through the nine gates of hell.

“Teacher…”

Merlin opened his mouth to speak but ultimately remained silent. So what if the Void Sea was dangerous? If they did not enter the Void Sea, then there was no way to stop the Void Beast.

A gradual smile appeared on Tyron’s lips. “Haha, the Void Sea isn’t a graveyard. It may be dangerous but it also presents an opportunity. The Void Sea had always been a forbidden place but if it could nurture powerful existences such as the Void Beast, then there must be some secret. If someone could uncover these secrets, then perhaps we would have a chance to advance further and achieve our desired realm. Hence, there are reasons for us to enter the Void Sea. One, we can find out what happened in the Void Sea, and two, we might find a way to get rid of the Void Beast. Furthermore, there’s a chance of discovering a new opportunity, so, it isn’t so scary.”

Tyron’s words made sense. While the Void Sea was dangerous, it also contained great secrets and great opportunities. Many of the Major Cosmos Absolute Beings longed to enter the Void Sea. It was just that they had always been held back by other concerns. Now that the situation had become so critical, they were forced to take a trip into the Void Sea.

“Teacher, if all the Major Cosmos Absolute Beings are leaving, what should we do about the Void Beasts?”

Merlin asked.

“Of course, you’ll have to form several squads to safeguard some of the important regions. As for the other places, it’ll boil down to luck. The Void Beasts represents destruction. They’ll swallow Latitude Regions one after another. This is a disaster…”

Tyron sighed again. He had no other solution as there were more than twenty Void Beasts and counting. The moment the Major Cosmos Absolute Beings left, no power could dispel the Void Beasts.

“Teacher, is it only the Major Cosmos Absolute Beings who can enter the Void Sea?”

After a brief silence, Merlin continued asking.

“There’s no such rule. It’s just that the Void Sea is more dangerous. So, only a Major Cosmos Absolute Being has hopes of reaching the deeper ends. As for the other Controllers, entering the Void Sea will be dangerous.”

“Oh? If that’s the case, with my current abilities, can I enter the Void Sea?”

Merlin peered closely at Tyron. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind but this was probably his only chance to enter the Void Sea. Plus, there might be new opportunities in the Void Sea.

Otherwise, even if he remained outside the Void Sea, it would not be possible to defeat the Void Beasts.

Tyron’s eyes shined brightly. He considered momentarily before answering, “Your current abilities are just a little bit below mine. However, you only have this power due to the five thousand over people in your body. If you want to enter the Void Zone, you must get their consensus. After all, not everyone wants to venture into the Void Sea.”

Merlin nodded. He had of course considered this as well. Upon receiving Tyron’s positive affirmation, he immediately explained the situation to Azulon, Caesar, and the others.

The five thousand over contenders in Merlin’s Illusory World had already found out the gravity of the situation. After listening to Merlin’s explanation, some of them made their choice.

Out of a total of five thousand over people, just as Tyron predicted, not everyone would take the risk with Merlin. Unexpectedly, both Azulon and Caesar did not leave. In the end, only a few hundred people left, so there were still about five thousand people who stayed.

These people wanted to follow Merlin into the mysterious and danger-ridden Void Sea. Combined, they were comparable to a powerful Major Cosmos Absolute Being, which guaranteed their safety to some extent. Thus, they also wanted to try their luck at finding some great opportunities. It was far better than waiting to die outside the Void Sea.

After all, if the Major Cosmos Absolute Beings fail to find a solution to deal with the Void Beasts in the Void Sea, then sooner or later, the Latitude Regions outside would be wiped out by the Void Beasts. When that time came, even if they hide in the most obscure corner, it would be useless. Everything would be swallowed by the Void Beasts, so it was almost equivalent to awaiting death.

Those who did not want to await their deaths wanted to venture into the Void Sea.

“Very well, there are still five thousand people. Although my power decreased slightly, it’s not too much. Teacher, are we going to enter the Void Sea now?”

Merlin’s heart felt a little more secure now that he still had five thousand people with him. His power was just second to the five top Major Cosmos Absolute Beings.

“Of course, the sooner the better. Let’s go!”

With a wave of his hand, Tyron led Merlin and stepped into the pitch-black Void Sea.
