Throughout his journey, Jiang Chen relentlessly launched assaults, mercilessly eliminating any demonic beasts that crossed his path.
Given his current might, his range of attack was impressively expansive, leaving no demonic beast alive in the sea territories he traversed.
Meanwhile, at the unfathomable depths below the seafloor caverns, a multitude of passages spread in every direction.
These tunnels were constructed by the Nether Soul Demon Clan, utilizing the unique demonic beasts they bred locally. They spanned a substantial area centered around the Bottomless Abyss!
The Lustrous Yang Domain was merely one of these areas.
The Nether Soul Demon Clan had not just infiltrated the Lustrous Yang Domain but had also concurrently made incursions into three other massive domains.
The assailants were the other three Dao Palace realm demons that had previously withdrawn from combat at Verdant Leaf Giant Peak.
These three domains lacked protagonists, and certainly, none had a commanding figure akin to Jiang Chen.
As a result, the imposing armies marshaled by the three Dao Palace realm demons took them by surprise, leading to severe losses.
Furthermore, in the Lustrous Yang Domain, even with E Tianjue's demise, the Nether Soul Demon Clan directing the demonic beast forces remained concealed within the seabed caverns' depths, propelling the wave of demonic beasts to assault the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sect.
In an instant, Jiang Chen had reached Black Wood Island.
His velocity was markedly superior to Gu Ran's, and as such, he arrived first.
By this juncture, Black Wood Island was already under the relentless invasion of countless demonic beasts, plunging it into utter pandemonium!
However, the demonic beasts assaulting Black Wood Island only constituted a minor segment of the total force.
The lion's share of the demonic beasts that emerged from the fissures in the sea floor had bypassed Black Wood Island, surging towards the area closer to Ageless Spirit Heavenly Island.
After all, Black Wood Island was merely a small island, and it wouldn't necessitate a large number of demonic beasts to obliterate it.
On Black Wood Island, the most formidable Feng Clan had assembled cultivators from the island and neighboring regions to counter the relentless assault of the demonic beasts.
Among them, the elder patriarch of the Feng Clan, Feng Hongbo, was the sole Inquiring Journey realm expert in the vicinity.
There was another Inquiring Journey expert who had arrived from a different location a few days prior - Feng Hongbo's friend, You Dan.
At this moment, an exceedingly intense skirmish was perpetually unfolding in the seas surrounding the island!
"Roar!!"
Two Inquiring Journey realm demonic beasts bellowed, launching a synchronized attack on the island!
Feng Hongbo and his Inquiring Journey realm comrade, You Dan, combined their forces to counter them!
The remaining Black Wood Island cultivators confronted the Heavenly Origin realm and lower-tier demonic beasts.
The quantity of these demonic beasts was vast, they obscured the sky, even casting a considerable shadow, blocking out much of the sunlight.
Throughout the grand confrontation, groups of cultivators and countless demonic beasts fell ceaselessly.
The sea was strewn with bodies, its waters had turned entirely crimson from blood.
The roars of the demonic beasts reverberated to the heavens, and the assaults of the cultivators filled the sky.
Blood colored both the sky and the sea a stark red.
Numerous immense bodies of demonic beasts were amassed, augmenting the size of Black Wood Island by several folds!
In the sky, two Inquiring Journey realm demonic beasts were attacking with relentless intensity, undeterred by the prospect of death.
Feng Hongbo and his comrade, You Dan, were soaked in sweat, their faces etched with terror, and they seemed to be on the brink of succumbing.
"This isn't promising, if we persist this way, we are doomed!" Terror washed over Feng Hongbo's face, his voice quivering slightly as the demonic beast before him forced him to retreat.
You Dan was in an even more precarious state. His body was riddled with injuries, dripping blood. He was already at his wit's end.
"Brother Feng!" he gasped, "I can no longer hold on, and escape is impossible."
"Let me assist you, let's eliminate the strongest demonic beast together!"
"Remember... to seek revenge for me!" Despair clouded You Dan's eyes, and a bitter smile gradually surfaced on his face.
Upon hearing You Dan's words, Feng Hongbo instantly understood his intentions, and he immediately let out a frantic cry, "No! We still have a chance to escape!"
But it was too late.
Suddenly, a surge of golden light exploded from You Dan's body! It was the Great Dao of Metal!
The Great Dao of Metal had numerous branches, some of which were polar opposites, like the 'Impregnable' and 'Unstoppable' Metal Daos.
The golden light at this instant was the 'Sharp' Metal Dao!
You Dan was sacrificing his life to invoke the Sharp Metal Dao!
Even though it was merely at the level of the Inquiring Journey realm and wasn't perfect, its potency was already exceedingly formidable within the same realm.
The following moment, You Dan transformed into a golden ray of light, directly impaling the head of the demonic beast battling Feng Hongbo.
That demonic beast didn't even have the opportunity to let out a cry before it perished instantaneously, its colossal body plunging into the ocean.
"You Dan!" Feng Hongbo howled in agony, recklessly lunging at the other Inquiring Journey realm demonic beast.
