Li Xiu had never entered this trial gate, nor had he seen any information about it.

In fact, this place has always been closed and trial-takers are not allowed to enter.

After Li Xiu appeared in the trial field, he immediately understood why this place was closed.

Half of the trial field that looked like the ancient Roman Colosseum had collapsed, and the light screen in the air seemed to be smashed in half by something. The remaining half was squeaking and flashing with electric light, like a sign of a power failure.

In the remaining half of the light screen, there was a black vortex, just like the vortex opened by the admission ticket.

Li Xiu was somewhat shocked. You know, the trial field is almost indestructible. Humans in the trial field are just like controlled toys. Who on earth has such terrifying power to destroy this trial field?

"Is it the president?" Li Xiu turned his head and looked at the president beside him. If this was really done by the president, then the president's strength might be stronger than he expected.

The president did not turn around to look at Li Xiu, but jumped directly towards the black vortex in the remaining screen, fell into the vortex and disappeared.

Li Xiu followed him and before falling into the whirlpool, he took a look at the dilapidated trial field, wondering what was in his mind.

Strangely, after entering the vortex, Li Xiu did not see the familiar stone table and the longevity lamp. It was pitch black all around, with only a faint light in the distance.

Li Xiu called out "President" several times, but no one answered him. After hesitating for a moment, Li Xiu walked towards the light.

As Li Xiu moved forward, the light in front of him became bigger and bigger, from a small dot to a small circle, and then from a small circle to a ball of light as big as the sun. The closer Li Xiu got, the bigger and brighter the light became.

When Li Xiu walked in front of the ball of light, it was already as big as a floor-to-ceiling window. Li Xiu stepped into the ball of light, and the scene in front of him changed rapidly.

When his vision returned to normal, Li Xiu found himself standing in a place that looked like a port. The president was standing on the dock, looking out at the endless black sea in front of him.

Li Xiu looked back and saw the ball of light floating behind him, like a white vortex.

"What are you still standing there for? The ship will be here soon," said the president.

"Is this the Black Dead Sea outside the Black Death City?" Li Xiu came to the president and looked at the deep sea that seemed like the void and asked.

"Yes, it's the same sea. Although it's farther from here to the Sea of ​​Heaven, it's more convenient." The president said, squinting his eyes and looking at the sea.

Li Xiu didn't know what "more convenient" meant, but seeing that the president didn't want to explain, he didn't ask any more questions.

However, as far as he could see, he could not see any ship at all, and he had no idea where the ship that the president mentioned was coming from.

"After you get on the ship, there are three things you cannot do. First, if someone knocks on the door, you must not open it. Second, you must not eat anything on the ship. Third, you must not touch anything I don't allow you to do," said the president.

"I understand." Li Xiu was too lazy to ask any more questions. If the president wanted to say something, he would say it without him asking. If the president didn't want to say it, it would be useless to ask.

While Li Zheng was thinking, he suddenly heard a loud splashing sound. Next to the dock, the sea water was surging, and a large ship actually rose from under the sea.

The strange thing was that the ship was not something like a submarine, but a large three-sail ship with a white canvas and a black hull.

As the three-sailed ship rose, black sea water flowed down from the sails and hull like small waterfalls.

In the blink of an eye, the three-sailed ship had completely surfaced. It was strange to say that so much water flowed on the ship, but not a trace of water remained on the deck, and not even a trace of moisture could be seen.

"Old friend, hurry up and get on board, the Changsheng is about to set sail." A strange man in tattered clothes and with gray hair stood at the bow and shouted at the president.

The president said nothing, but just watched the ship pull alongside. It was not until the strange man put down the wooden board that he called Li Xiu to step onto the ship together.

"Who is that person?" Li Xiu could only see the weirdo's back but not his front. He also didn't sense any evil spirit's aura from him, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.

Li Xiu had seen before how powerful the water in the Dead Sea was. It could even corrode steel into slag. It was really surprising that the strange man rose from the sea along with the three-sail ship, and was not damaged at all in the water.

"A person who has been dead for a long time." said the president.

"Someone who died a long time ago?" Li Xiu looked at the strange man in some surprise.

The strange man finally turned his head, but his hair in front and beard on his face were equally thick, so it was almost impossible to tell what he looked like. All that could be seen was a pair of bright and deep eyes.

"Old friend, we haven't seen each other for many years. You don't have to curse me as soon as we meet, right?" The strange man said with a strange laugh, obviously not angry.

"Am I wrong? What's the difference between you and a dead person?" The president took a puff of his pipe and said while exhaling the smoke.

"That's true." The weirdo didn't take it seriously and asked, "Old man, if I'm not mistaken, you should be going to the Sea of ​​Heaven at this time, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? If you hadn't calculated the time for me to go to Tianhai, why would you come here?" The president said and went to the cabin on his own.

The weirdo glanced at Li Xiu, smiled, revealing his neat white teeth, then quickly walked in front of the president and led the way.

Li Xiu frowned slightly. His teeth were neat and white, which were obviously very beautiful, but for some reason, Li Xiu felt a little creepy when he saw them.

Although this ship is made of wood, it is surprisingly large. It is hard to imagine that a wooden ship can be built so large. It is probably not inferior to an aircraft carrier.

The strange man pushed open the door of the cabin, and the president and Li Xiu followed him in. The interior was even more magnificent than Li Xiu had imagined, and could be described as magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings.

In the magnificent hall, there were some furniture whose names Li Xiu didn't know. They were called tables, but they were smaller than ordinary tables and had no legs.

It is not quite right to say that there are no table legs. There are indeed four legs underneath, and the shape is very beautiful. It is just too low. Even if you sit on a children's stool, you probably have to lower your head and bend over to reach the things on it.

Li Xiu soon discovered that these extremely low tables did not have any stools, but people had to sit directly on the cushions at the back.

The president did not wait for the weirdo to greet him, but sat down on a cushion, pointed to the low table next to him and said, "You sit there."

Li Xiu had no choice but to sit down next to him. The weirdo smiled, sat down opposite the president, and clapped his hands.

After a while, rows of beautiful little girls came up with fine wine and delicious food. Soon, the low table in front of the three people was filled with delicious wine and food.

Several pretty little girls came up to the three men, one on each side, and skillfully served them tea and wine, and even picked up the dishes and put them directly into their mouths.

Li Xiu still remembered that the president said that the food on the boat was not edible, so he naturally didn't dare to eat or drink, and just sat there motionless.

The two little girls beside him tried to persuade him several times, but seeing that Li Xiu was unmoved, they stopped and just stood behind him.

The weirdo sat on the ground without any taboos. He held the wine pot in one hand and the wine glass in the other. He filled a glass for himself and raised the glass to the president, saying, "Old friend, we haven't seen each other for many years. This glass celebrates our reunion."

Li Xiu thought the president would find an excuse to refuse, but he picked up the wine poured by the little girl and drank it all in one gulp.

"Didn't they say that we can just not eat the food on the boat?" Li Xiu secretly complained in his heart.

The president didn't drink much, and he took the delicious food at will. He looked very happy while drinking and enjoying the food with that weirdo.

"Old friend, will this trip go as planned?" The weirdo drank another glass of wine, put down the glass and looked at the president and asked.

"The person is right here, can't you see for yourself?" The president rolled his eyes, raised his empty glass, and asked the little girl next to him to refill it.

The strange man then looked at Li Xiu, sized him up and down, and after a long while he smiled and said, "This young gentleman has a full forehead, a square chin, a nose like a hanging gallbladder, and eyes like bright stars. It is obvious that he has a blessed appearance. This trip will surely be successful."

"You say it will work. If not, I will come back and smash your broken boat." The president spoke to this weirdo without any mercy, even a little sarcastic, which seemed a little different from the president's usual way of doing things.

The weirdo was not angry at all, and said with a smile: "Okay, smash it if you want. If you are unhappy with it, I will smash it with you."

The president seemed a little surprised when he heard this, and looked at the strange man and said, "Do you know him?"

"I don't know him." The weirdo shook his head.

"How can you have so much confidence in him if you don't even know him?" the president asked.

"I have confidence in you. Sixty years ago, Guan Qingzhai almost succeeded. With your skills and scheming, I'm afraid you have already figured it out. I believe you will succeed this time." The weirdo raised his glass and said loudly, "This is a toast to wish you all the best."

"Your eyesight is still good despite your old age, and you can see things clearly." The president smiled and raised his glass and drank it all.

Li Xiu sat aside, unable to eat or drink, and listened to their conversation. There was no substantial content, and they were just playing guessing games. It was obvious that they didn't want Li Xiu to hear what they were talking about. It was very boring.

"I'm going out for a walk." Li Xiu stood up and said.

The president only said that the food on the boat could not be eaten and that the door could not be opened if someone knocked, but he did not say that he was not allowed to walk around the boat. Li Zheng took this opportunity to see the true face of the Dead Sea.

Hearing what Li Xiu said, the weirdo seemed a little surprised and looked at the president.

"Why are you looking at me? Young people nowadays all have their own ideas. I can't control so much. The boat is your boat. It's your business whether you allow others to see it or not." The president said lightly.

"Xiaoyue, take this young gentleman around." After hearing the president's words, the weirdo still had a look of confusion on his face, but he didn't say anything else. He just called a little girl to lead the way for Li Xiu.

"The Dead Sea is not peaceful, young man, you'd better be careful." The strange man said again when Li Xiu was about to leave.

"Thank you for the reminder. I will pay attention to it." Li Xiu said as he opened the door and walked out.

When he came to the deck, Li Xiu couldn't help but be slightly stunned. When he was in the cabin, he didn't feel the ship moving at all. He thought the ship was still docked in the port and didn't move.

After coming out, I found that the port had disappeared long ago. A large ship with three sails was sailing on the Dead Sea. Its speed was not slow at all. It was hard to believe that such a huge ship could be so fast.

The ship was so big that Li Xiu walked slowly and it took him several minutes to reach the bow.

Only then did he notice that at the tip of the bow, there was a statue of a dragon head. It looked ferocious and fierce, yet solemn and dignified.

This is not the point. The point is that the dragon head statue actually seems to be alive. Li Xiu even saw the eyes of the dragon head statue moving.

"Could this ship be an evil spirit?" Li Xiu couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Young sir, the Changsheng is not a demon spirit, it is made of a piece of Jianmu." The girl Xiaoyue said from the side.

"Jianmu? Is it the legendary sacred tree in the Classic of Mountains and Seas?" Li Xiu asked in surprise.

"Yes, young sir," Xiaoyue replied with a nod.

Li Xiu had only heard of that legendary thing and had never seen the real thing. The key point was that Jianmu was something from the mythology and legends of the Earth, so how could it appear in the Kingdom of Demons?

"Could it be that the Demonic Kingdom also has the Classic of Mountains and Seas?" Li Xiu thought about it and felt that something was not right. How could it be such a coincidence? They are both called the Classic of Mountains and Seas and both have the legend of Jianmu.

"Xiaoyue, what's that person's name?" Li Xiu asked.

Xiaoyue was not stupid. She knew who Li Xiu was asking about, but she shook her head and said, "I dare not mention your name. Please forgive me, young master."

Li Xiu wanted to say something else, but suddenly he heard a long howl beside him. The howl was like a dragon's roar and a tiger's roar, and it sounded right next to his ears, making his eardrums hurt.

Turning around, I saw that the one making the dragon's roar was actually the dragon head statue on the top of the ship.

"Young sir, there is danger ahead. Let's go back to the cabin quickly." Xiaoyue's face changed slightly when she heard the dragon head's long roar, and she urged Li Xiu to go back.

"What danger?" Li Xiu asked without moving, looking at the sea in front of him.

"The dragon head is warning that there must be a terrifying demon ahead. Young sir, please come back with me as soon as possible." Xiaoyue pulled the corner of Li Xiu's clothes, motioning Li Xiu to go back with her, her little face full of anxiety.

"You go back first. I just want to see how terrifying the demons in the Dead Sea are." Li Xiu was still hoping to take the divine gem from the demons he met on the road, so how could he possibly go.

"The demons in the Dead Sea are not comparable to ordinary demons. The dragon head's long roar also shows that this demon is very terrifying. Young master, you should go back quickly." Xiaoyue urged again.

"You go back first." Li Xiu's tone was calm, but very firm.

Seeing this, Xiaoyue didn't dare to persuade Li Xiu anymore, but she didn't dare to go back alone. She could only grit her teeth and stand behind Li Xiu trembling.

"Why don't you go back?" Li Xiu saw that Xiaoyue was obviously very scared, but she didn't go back, and he knew there must be a reason.

"If the young master doesn't go back, I can't go back either, otherwise the adults will be unhappy." Xiaoyue said pitifully.

"Then you stay here with me and watch." Li Xiu looked towards the sea in the distance. Under the dark sea, a huge shadow was moving.

The sea water is already black, but the shadow is darker than the sea water.

Crash!

The sea water retreated in waves, and a huge body stretched out from the sea in front, with black rays of light rising continuously.

"That is... a real dragon..." Li Xiu looked at the huge demon spirit rushing out of the Dead Sea, his eyes full of curiosity.

It was a real black dragon with a length of over a hundred feet, emitting a mysterious light all over its body, as if black mist was lingering around it. Its pair of dragon horns were as deep as black diamonds, and its pair of dragon eyes were blazing white without pupils, as if it was blind.

"We encountered the Dragon King just after going out to sea... This is not a good sign..." The president and the weirdo appeared on the top of the cabin at some point, and the weirdo sighed as he looked at the black dragon.

"Is this little black dragon the same one from that year?" the president said with a frown.

"If it's not that one, then which one could it be? How could there be a real dragon in the Dead Sea? Even if it is outside, it is the only one in the world." The strange man's words seemed a bit contradictory.

"After so many years, you still haven't killed it. It seems that you are quite nostalgic." The president sneered.

"When people get old, they have some unnecessary thoughts that they shouldn't have. They always want to keep a memory." The strange man laughed and said, "I didn't expect that this delay would make it a success. You should let your little apprentice come back. If he is injured by the Dragon King, it will be a big mistake."

"Do you think that little black dragon can hurt him?" the president said with narrowed eyes.

The strange man said in a speechless tone: "You know the origin of the Dragon King. Apart from the imperial seal that you took away, who else can suppress it? I dare not say anything else. With the Dragon King's current strength, even Guan Qingzhai of the past is probably not his opponent. I think your little disciple is still a little worse than Guan Qingzhai of the past."

"In that case, how about we make a bet?" the president said with a smile.

"How to bet?" The weirdo looked at the president with interest and asked back.

"Let's bet on whether he can kill the Dragon King. If he kills the little black dragon, you can lend me your thing. If he can't, I'll give you the imperial seal." The president said lightly.

"Why don't you help him?" asked the strange man.

"If I take action, I will lose." said the president.

"You won't give him the imperial seal, will you?" The strange man still felt that there was something fishy going on.

"If I give him anything, I lose." The president laughed and said, "You are still as petty as ever. I told you that if he has the ability to kill me, then he can kill me. If he doesn't, then I lose."

"I really don't believe it, so let's make a bet." The weirdo looked at the president and finally couldn't help himself.

The weirdo had already figured out that Li Xiu was not a god, so he said that he was not as good as Guan Qingzhai.

How could a person who is not even a god kill the Dragon King?

Not to mention that the Soul Forging level cannot kill the Dragon King, even among the God level, there are not many who can fight with the current Dragon King.

The Dead Sea is extremely dangerous, and there are countless terrifying demons inside, including some that have reached the peak of the Light of Justice. However, as long as the Dragon King is in the area, no other demons dare to approach. This shows how terrifying the Dragon King is.

The weirdo couldn't believe that Li Xiu, a Soul Forging level cultivator, could kill the Dragon King, even if he had a divine demon spirit.
