Yang Zhen controlled the Giant Centipede, cutting through thorns and brambles as it charged toward the island. Before long, it was ahead of the others and climbed onto the so-called Emperor Island.
There were no powerful restrictions on the Emperor Island, but rather a feeling of being in a different world. Yang Zhen felt a jolt throughout his body and found himself in another world.
Unlike the terrifying celestial phenomena outside, there were no violent shockwaves on the island; instead, there was a sense of tranquility and peace.
The sky is clear and the water is blue, everywhere is filled with the fragrance of flowers and the songs of birds, exuding endless vitality, nestled among the continuous mountain ranges, making it an enchanting place.
After Yang Zhen and his two companions emerged from the Giant Centipede, they were immediately stunned by the quiet and peaceful scene before them.
"Are you sure this is the Emperor Island?" Yang Zhen turned to look at Wang Meiling.
Wang Meiling frowned, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. She shook her head and said, "I've never been to this island before, and I didn't know it was like this. It seems no different from the outside world, even more beautiful."
The Shameless Cat looked surprised and was about to speak when it suddenly let out a strange cry and pointed due north, saying, "Look, what's that over there?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying wave of blood shot up from the sky, like an inverted Sea Dragon Waterfall, exuding endless violent energy. All the waves of energy were filled with Blood Qi energy, giving rise to a chilling feeling.
Yang Zhen and Wang Meiling were both startled, staring in disbelief at the terrifying scene in the distance.
The Shameless Cat, unusually serious, said in a deep voice, "This place is not simple. It looks different from the outside world, but it's a world of its own, a place where Emperor Technique are refined. There might be some danger inside."
Yang Zhen nodded and said, "Let's be careful and go take a look!"
Wang Meiling smiled bitterly. She had completely lost her initiative. The environment was unfamiliar and completely different from what she had imagined. She had lost her sense of direction and could only follow Yang Zhen step by step.
Hearing Yang Zhen say "be careful" as he walked forward, Wang Meiling felt a strange sensation.
It seems that in Yang Zhen's view, being careful means figuring out exactly what's going on. But thinking about it, Yang Zhen's actions weren't wrong. Humanity's greatest fear is not the awe of the might of the heavens, but the true unknown, and it has always been so.
"Damn it, there's someone over there!" the Shameless Cat suddenly exclaimed in surprise, pointing to the pillar of blood.
Yang Zhen squinted and saw a young man in white holding a long sword, confronting the pillar of blood. His body was covered in blood, and his white clothes were stained red.
"Oh dear, danger! Quick, hide!" Yang Zhen hurriedly hid, but before Yang Zhen could even speak, the Shameless Cat had already climbed up a large, lush tree, leaving Wang Meiling, who was a little slower to react, standing awkwardly in place.
Wang Meiling gritted her teeth, squeezed next to Yang Zhen, and asked with surprise and uncertainty, "What's inside the pillar of blood?"
Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "I didn't see clearly, but it seemed to be a humanoid creature that was half-lying down. It was very powerful; it could shatter that human man's martial arts technique with a single punch."
"What?" Wang Meiling's face suddenly turned pale. She looked at Yang Zhen in horror and asked in a low voice, "Is it a creature with a bluish-black body, covered in scales, and a single horn on its forehead?"
Yang Zhen exclaimed in surprise and asked, "You saw it too?"
Wang Meiling a bitter laugh, her eyes flashing with horror and terror. She shook her head and said, "I didn't see it, but I know what kind of creature it is."
"What are those things? They seem very powerful. Even the most ordinary one seems to be able to fight that Nascent Soul Realm person without any fluctuation of True Essence. It can blast that person away with just its fists."
The Shameless Cat also came over, staring at Wang Meiling and asking, "Little girl, do you know something else?"
Wang Meiling felt a little awkward under the stares of Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat, and gritted her teeth as she said, "It's no longer a secret. Back then, the Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness altered the ley lines of the Sea Dragon Pool and cut down the Broken Jade Mountain to refine the Great Emperor Stele, all to suppress a certain creature."
"Is that the thing from earlier, the Sea Dragon Clan?" Yang Zhen asked in surprise.
Although I had heard some rumors, the impact of seeing it with my own eyes was completely different. Just how powerful was this race that the Great Emperor was willing to go to such lengths to suppress?
Wang Meiling nodded and said, "Back then, Ten Thousand Flowers Island almost suffered annihilation, and the culprit was the Sea Dragon Clan. I didn't expect that after so many years, they still have remnants, and they seem to be even stronger."
The Shameless Cat suddenly cursed, "Damn it, this Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness is a fool too. Since ancient times, the fate of all living beings has been predetermined. He actually wants to suppress an entire race with his own power. It's utterly delusional. Now look what's happened. Once these remaining Sea Dragon Clan break through the restrictions, Ten Thousand Flowers Island will probably fall into endless disasters, and it might even affect the nearby Donglin Island and Turtle-Snake Island, and it's very likely that the disaster will spread to the entire East Sea coast."
Upon hearing this, Wang Meiling's face paled, and she asked helplessly, "Then... what should we do?"
Yang Zhen was startled when he heard this, and after exchanging glances with the Shameless Cat, they both realized that the other wanted to run.
Before the man and the cat could reach an agreement, a deafening roar resounded, and the entire Emperor Island trembled violently as if it had been struck by something.
The roars were deafening, like rage suppressed for millennia, their sound waves piercing the heavens and earth.
At this moment, Elder Gu and others had also landed on the island, and more than a thousand cultivators rushed towards this side.
All the cultivators wore expressions of surprise and uncertainty as they stared in horror at the dark mass of the Sea Dragon Clan in mid-air, exclaiming in alarm.
"What is that thing? How could such a terrifying creature appear?"
"My God, that's Wan Tianchen from Flower Mountain Blessed Land! How did he end up in such a disheveled state?"
"Fellow Daoists, those creatures are charging towards us!"
"Charge!"
boom!
The two terrifying forces collided, instantly filling the air with shouts of battle. A violent shockwave swept outwards, and the entire Emperor Island seemed to be engulfed in carnage.
Beside the Great Emperor Stele, countless cultivators, seeing that someone had finally successfully landed on the island, eagerly steered their prepared shuttle boats into the Sea Dragon Pool.
After decades of preparation, they were finally able to successfully land on the island. The cultivators who had just entered the water were all excited and completely unaware that a disaster was about to unfold on the Emperor Island.
Wan Tianchen, having fought valiantly, laughed heartily upon seeing Elder Gu and the others arrive, his imposing aura soaring. " Elder Gu, these alien races are incredibly powerful! Fellow Daoists, please be extremely careful!"
A colossal wave suddenly erupted from Elder Gu's body, his entire being shining like a brilliant ray of light, golden and radiant. He punched a Sea Dragon Clan away, his expression instantly changing. He said in a deep voice, "This is Sea Dragon Clan, a being that nearly destroyed Ten Thousand Flowers Island ten thousand years ago. Everyone, follow me to suppress this alien race."
boom!
Under the Elder Gu leader's guidance, all the cultivators unleashed their most powerful strength, and for a time, the cultivators and the Sea Dragon Clan were evenly matched, with casualties on both sides.
The Shameless Cat looked at Yang Zhen excitedly and asked, "Kid, what should we do?"
Yang Zhen pondered for a moment, looked around at the surroundings, and said with some doubt, "Have you noticed that this place is a bit strange? Is there something important that we've overlooked?"
