Chapter 193 - 190: Suppression for Thousands of Years! The Outbreak of the Sea Dragon! (Second Update)
Yang Zhen maneuvered the giant centipede, slashing through obstacles and rushing toward the island. Before long, they pulled ahead of everyone else, climbing onto the so-called Emperor Island.
There were not any strong prohibitions on Emperor Island, rather it gave a sense as if being in a different world. Yang Zhen only felt a shock surge through his body; they had arrived in another world.
Unlike the terrifying scenes outside, there weren’t any turbulent waves on the island, instead, peace and tranquility hung in the air.
The sky was blue, the water clear, floral fragrances and birdsong filled the surroundings, exuding an endless vitality. The continuous stretch of mountains was intoxicating.
When the three of them stepped out from the giant centipede, they were immediately stunned by the peaceful and serene landscape before them.
“Are you sure this is the Emperor Island?” Yang Zhen asked as he turned toward Wang Meiling.
Wang Meiling furrowed her brows, a flicker of doubt in her eyes, she shook her head and said, “I’ve never stepped foot on this island before, and I certainly didn’t know that this was what it was like here. It looks no different from the outside world, perhaps even more refined.”
The sly cat wore an expression of surprise, just as it was about to speak, it let out a strange cry, and pointed northwards yelling, “Look, what’s that?”
No sooner had the words left its mouth, a terrifying blood-wave split the sky and earth, rising to the heavens. Looking like an upside-down Sea Dragon Waterfall, it emitted an endless violent aura; all the waves being bloody and intense, kindled a chilling sensation within anyone who witnessed it.
Yang Zhen and Wang Meiling both were taken aback, looking towards the horrific spectacle in the distance with apprehension.
The sly cat took on a rare serious tone, it said in a heavy voice, “This place is not simple, it appears different from the outside world, yet it has its own world, formed by Emperor Skill, there may be dangers inside.”
Yang Zhen nodded, ‘We should be cautious, let’s go and have a look!”
Wang Meiling laughed bitterly as she has now completely lost the initiative. The surroundings were unfamiliar, entirely different from what she had imagined, she now felt lost and could only follow Yang Zhen’s footsteps.
Hearing Yang Zhen saying to be cautious while he kept moving forward, Wang Meiling suddenly had a peculiar feeling.
It seemed like to Yang Zhen, being cautious meant clearing up the whole matter, however on thinking about it, everything Yang Zhen did was indeed right. The greatest fear of mankind was not reverence for celestial power, but the truly unknown, it had always been so.
“Damn, someone’s there!” the sly cat exclaimed, pointing toward the blood pillar.
Yang Zhen squinted and saw that indeed a young man in white, holding a long sword, was confronting the blood pillar. His entire body was soaked in blood, staining his white clothes red.
“Oh no, it’s dangerous, quick, hide.” Yang Zhen quickly took cover; the sly cat even before Yang Zhen had admonished, had already climbed up a tree abound with lush branches, only Wang Meiling, who reacted a tad slower, was awkwardly left standing on the spot.
Wang Meiling clenched her teeth and squeezed in next to Yang Zhen, asking with uncertainty, “What’s inside the blood pillar?”
Yang Zhen shook his head, “I didn’t see clearly, but it looked like some kind of half-crouching humanoid, very powerful, it shattered that human man’s martial skill with a single punch.”
“What?” Wang Meiling turned pale, staring at Yang Zhen in horror, she whispered, “Is it dark black in color, with scales all over its body, and has a horn on its forehead?”
Yang Zhen exclaimed, “You saw it too?”
With a bitter laugh, Wang Meiling, her eyes flashing with dread, shook her head and said, “I didn’t see, but I know about this creature.”
“What is it, it seems really powerful, and even a normal one could match a Nascent Soul Stage human, and it doesn’t seem to have any True Essence fluctuations, it just used its fists to blow that man away.”
The sly cat also moved closer, staring at Wang Meiling and asked, “Little girl, do you know something else?”
Wang Meiling, under the scrutiny of Yang Zhen and the contemptuous cat, gritted her teeth and said, “It’s no longer a secret. The Eastern Desolation Emperor changed the Earth’s veins of the Sea Dragon Pool and cut down Broken Wall Mountain to refine the Emperor Stele, all to suppress a creature.” “The thing just now, the Sea Dragon Clan?” Yang Zhen asked in surprise.
Even though he had heard some rumors, seeing it with his own eyes made it more shocking. Just how powerful was a race that even the Emperor would go to such lengths to suppress?
Wang Meiling nodded and said, “Many years ago, Wanhua Island almost faced total extinction, and the culprit was the Sea Dragon Clan. I didn’t expect that after so many years, their remnants have become even more powerful.”
The contemptuous cat suddenly cursed, “Damn, this Eastern Desolation Emperor is an idiot. Since ancient times, the numbers of life and death are determined by heaven. He actually thought he could suppress an entire race with his own strength. It’s absurd. Now, once these remaining Sea Dragon Clan break through the prohibition, Wanhua Island is likely to fall into endless disaster. It may even implicate nearby East Forest Island and Turtle Serpent Island and may affect the entire Coast of the East Sea.”
Wang Meiling turned pale at these words and asked helplessly, “So… what should we do?”
Yang Zhen was also startled by this and exchanged glances with the contemptuous cat. They both saw the intention to flee in each other’s eyes.
Before the two could reach an agreement, a deafening sound echoed. The entire Emperor Island shuddered as if something had hit it hard.
A burst of roaring filled the sky; it was deafening, like the anger that had been suppressed for thousands of years. The sound waves pierced the sky and earth.
By this time, Elder Gu and others had also arrived on the island. Nearly a thousand practitioners rushed towards the commotion.
All of the practitioners wore puzzled expressions and were aghast as they stared at the mass of Sea Dragon Clans in the air, crying out in alarm.
“What is that thing? How could such a terrifying creature appear?”
“My heavens, that is Wan Tianchen from the blessed land of Mountian Hua. How did he end up in such a wretched state?”
“Everyone, fellows, those creatures are rushing towards us.”
“Attack!”
Boom!
When two terrifying forces collided, it immediately caused resounding chaos, and violent energy swept out. The entire Emperor Island seemed to have plunged into a slaughtering field.
Next to the Emperor Stele, countless practitioners, seeing that someone had successfully landed on the island, were eager to launch their prepared shuttle boats into the Sea Dragon Pool.
After decades of preparation, finally, they were able to land successfully. Practitioners who had just set sail on the waters were unrestrainedly excited, completely ignorant that a disaster was unfolding on Emperor Island.
Wan Tianchen fought heroically, bathed in blood. Seeing Elder Gu and others coming, he laughed heartily, an imposing aura about him. “Elder Gu, these alien races are incredibly powerful. Fellow friends must be careful!”
Elder Gu suddenly erupted with a monumental wave of energy. His body shone brilliantly like a dazzling celestial light. His fist sent a Sea Dragon flying. His expression changed instantly, and he said solemnly, “This is the Sea Dragon Clan, which nearly destroyed Wanhua Island a thousand years ago. Everyone, follow me to suppress these aliens.”
Boom!
Under the leadership of Elder Gu, all the practitioners burst forth with their most formidable power. For a time, the battlefield between the practitioners and the Sea Dragon Clan was evenly matched with casualties on both sides.
The contemptuous cat looked at Yang Zhen excitedly and asked, “Kid, what should we do?”
Yang Zhen pondered for a moment, looking around at the environment, and asked with some confusion, “Have you noticed that there’s something strange about this place? We must have overlooked something important..”
