The bitter tear spread out within Meng Hao’s mouth, causing his corpse to suddenly move. An indescribable aura suddenly exploded out from him.
As it did, the tsunami waves on the sea grew even more astonishing!
After a long, long time passed, Meng Hao’s eyes suddenly… opened!
When his eyes opened, a roaring sound filled his mind. Countless memories, countless images, poured out, filling his mind, restoring him.
“Death is not the end of life, but rather, the beginning…. I am Meng Hao!” After a long moment passed, he looked quietly out at the black seafloor. However, what he saw with his eyes was actually the sky above the surface of the ocean.
He was awake! He was enlightened!
In the instant of his enlightenment, he realized that ten years had passed since that teardrop fell. As for how much time had passed since he began his process of understanding the Violet Sea, a full… one hundred and fifty years had passed!
Without that teardrop, Meng Hao would not have awakened. He would have continued his Demonic Transmigration. Ten thousand years later, he would have awoken. When that happened, the world would have had one less Cultivator. The legacy of the Demon Sealers would have been severed. At the same time, a new Greater Demon of Heaven and Earth would have appeared!
The instant he woke up, the great waves on the surface of the Violet Sea calmed. All of the specters sank down into the seawater, vanishing from the world above.
The entire Violet Sea became deathly quiet.
Down in the depths of the Violet Sea, Meng Hao’s life force once again burned vigorously. After a few days passed, he had already surpassed his previous pinnacle. Before, such intense life force would have provoked an incredible reaction from the will of extermination in the violet Sea. He would have been completely and thoroughly exterminated.
But now, the Violet Sea did nothing to get rid of him.
That was because Meng Hao was the Violet Sea. And in many ways, the Violet Sea… was Meng Hao!
He slowly lifted up his right hand. As he did, the entire Violet Sea quietly sank down a full thirty meters.
The majestic Western Desert Violet Sea sank down thirty meters, making more of the island-mountains visible.
This scene caused all of the Cultivators in the Black Lands to be completely shocked. One group of people after another came out to investigate. However no one could figure out or even guess why the sea had suddenly sunk by thirty meters.
The real reason was because that was how much seawater was needed to congeal a violet character for water on the back of Meng Hao’s hand.
This mark signified that Meng Hao could control the power of death of the Violet Sea. This was his… Water-type totem tattoo!
As he looked down at his hand, Meng Hao waved it, causing the seawater that surrounded him to part, creating an opening three hundred meters wide. Within that opening, no water existed.
At the same time, a bloody light sparkled on his index finger. This light represented the life force of the blood totem as it magically made its appearance.
Under Meng Hao’s control, a ghost image of the blood totem slowly appeared on the back of his right hand. Slowly it began to fuse with the Violet Sea totem, which represented death.
As they fused, as the ghost images sprang up, Meng Hao’s body suddenly shook.
“Blood represents life!
“The Violet Sea represents death!
