A strange distortion of space, followed by thick clouds dense with countless golden bolts of lightning. After passing through the storm clouds and layers of lightning under Master Yin's lead, an endless blue ocean appeared before Lin Qi and the others. Five utterly ruined little islands stood upon the sea, while a golden colossal dragon, more than ten thousand miles long, lay submerged in the deep ocean, quietly inhaling and exhaling the purple vapors erupting from the five islands.
The full ten million elite warriors Ying Zheng had brought entered Penglai alongside Lin Qi and the others.
Several thousand enormous warships formed a vast, orderly square formation across the sea. Countless banners drifted above the formation, which stretched for nearly a hundred miles; family crests and emblems of every color fluttered in the wind. The private soldiers of several hundred powerful aristocratic clans from the Blood Qin Empire stared in shock at the boundless ocean, unable to tell whether they were dreaming or standing in the real world.

Nearly ten million people and such a massive fleet, upon nearing this unnamed island, had been guided by Master Yin straight through a spatial passage into the inner space of the Penglai Five Islands. Lin Qi had only witnessed such capacity on Heaven's Gate of Heaven Mountain.
Penglai, Yingzhou, Fangzhang, Yuanjiao, and Daiyu—these five islands were an extremely important main battle force of the Origin Realm's immortal domain. Unlike the war puppets created by Heaven Mountain, which more closely resembled melee knights, the beings born upon these five islands excelled at controlling all kinds of natural phenomena. They were skilled in using storms, lightning, earthquakes, meteors, and other wide-ranging attacks
