On the Tenth Sea Island, three Half-Step Rotating Pill cultivators from the Cloud Sky Sect gathered together, accompanied by a late-stage Spirit Sea disciple.
The four of them looked at the terrifying black columns that surged up from the island, and the rampaging giant beasts, with a trace of solemnity in their eyes.
At this moment, the three Half-Step Rotating Pill cultivators turned to the late-stage Spirit Sea disciple and said, "Junior Brother Yun Luo, what should we do? Judging by this situation, I'm afraid we've gotten into some big troubles on this tomb-raiding adventure."
The late-stage Spirit Sea disciple named Yun Luo also had a grave expression, "The master has instructed us not to use that Secret Treasure unless it's absolutely necessary."
"Given the current situation, we can still manage. Let's try to capture as many Legacy Treasures as we can in the outer regions. We'll deal with the rest once we get to the central giant island!"
When Yun Luo mentioned "that Secret Treasure," the concerned expressions of the three Half-Step Rotating Pill cultivators eased slightly.
Clearly, this late-stage Spirit Sea disciple Yun Luo, whom even the three Half-Step Rotating Pill cultivators consulted, likely possessed an earth-shattering Secret Treasure as a last resort!
After discussing for a while, the four turned into four fleeing lights and hurried towards a Secret Ground of treasures on the Tenth Sea Island.
The awakening of Demon Tower upon the ancient bronze coffin in the deepest part of the tomb had led to anomalies, which in turn caused astonishing changes on the ten peripheral islands.
Amidst the surges of terrifying black columns, countless giant beasts grew increasingly powerful, scrambling for the Heavenly Saint Relics of this world, and also engaging in fierce battles with the tomb explorers who entered the ancient tomb.
In the end, even the giant beasts fought amongst themselves!
The tomb explorers who entered, including Liu Yan, Fairy Nishang, Jiang Yao, and other formidable disciples, were still able to withstand the changes on these islands, but the others were completely struck by disaster amid these terrifying transformations!
On the Second Sea Island, three mid-stage Spirit Sea disciples had just obtained a Legacy Treasure and had no time for joy before they witnessed the astonishing changes on the island. As they were still stunned, four demonized high-ranking Great Demons pounced in front of them.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The four demonized high-ranking Great Demons, with just three swipes of their claws, pierced through these disciples, seizing the Legacy Treasure in their hands and roaring off.
In the Fifth Sea Island, a Half-Step Rotating Pill looked out from atop a giant peak at the vast island when suddenly, a majestic Demon Eagle over three hundred meters in length, with sharp talons outstretched, swooped down towards the Half-Step Rotating Pill.
As the Half-Step Rotating Pill released his True Qi, he engaged in a fierce fight with the Demon Eagle.
He was barely holding his own against the Demon Eagle when three more Demon Eagles arrived, each as powerful as the first – they were all at the Half-Step Demon King level!
One Demon Eagle was already too much for the Half-Step Rotating Pill, and with the arrival of three more, their Joint Attack overwhelmed him. He lasted only three moves before two of the Eagles grabbed him and tore him in half. Then, the other two Eagles pounced as well, and in an instant, they had completely devoured the Half-Step Rotating Pill's body!
A powerful Half-Step Rotating Pill met his end on the peak, and eventually not even a corpse was left behind, just glaring streaks of blood on the giant boulders of the mountain!
After killing the Half-Step Rotating Pill, the four Demon Eagles screeched piercingly, raising their several-hundred-meter-long wings, and flew towards their next target.
And then there was the Sixth Sea Island, the Seventh Sea Island, the Ninth Sea Island...
All ten sea islands had turned into a battlefield of chaos under the attack of the countless giant beasts!
Terrifying black pillars rose, black light transformed the giant beasts, and great disorders broke out across the ten islands!
Powerful giant beasts left a trail of tomb explorers dead on the islands, and even the weaker Great Demons perished as well, while the stronger tomb explorers killed swathes of the beast hordes. In the end, all the islands had become a sea of blood!
Ye Chen even felt that if he could meditate for another four or five days, he would definitely be able to invoke the Nine Heavens True Thunder and step into the second chapter of the Primordial Star Scripture.
But unexpectedly, at this time, a shocking and strange change occurred on the Fourth Sea Island.
This change even woke up Ye Chen from his meditation.
When Ye Chen flew into the void and saw the chaotic situation on the Fourth Sea Island, he knew that his plan to attack the "True Thunder Extreme Change" on this outer island had to be altered.
To assault the True Thunder Extreme Change, one must fully commit their Mind and Spirit without the slightest distraction, let alone being disturbed by external elements. Clearly, the current Fourth Sea Island no longer provided Ye Chen with an environment for quiet cultivation and breakthrough!
"Luckily, after True Thunder Induction, I have three months to assault the 'True Thunder Extreme Change.' There is still time to wait."
"Let's first see what's happening on this island!"
Having his meditation interrupted, Ye Chen was somewhat frustrated, but he was more concerned about the strange changes on the island.
When he flew out of the valley and approached one of the sky-piercing black light pillars, like other people, Ye Chen also noticed that this soaring black light pillar caused many giant beasts to undergo metamorphosis.
Because Ye Chen personally witnessed four high-level Great Demons fly into the black light pillar and, in the next moment, transformed into even more formidable Great Demons, roaring as they charged towards him.
"What is this black light that can instantaneously boost the strength of Great Demons?"
Ye Chen frowned as he watched the soaring black pillar, becoming more vigilant about this ancient tomb.
Boom!
Just then, four Great Demons, each reaching the level of a Half-Step Demon King, lunged towards Ye Chen in the blink of an eye.
As the four Great Demons opened their maws wide, ready to tear at Ye Chen, he let out a cold snort.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
In an instant, four Swords of True Qi appeared around Ye Chen.
No sooner had the four Swords of True Qi appeared than they vanished, and in the next instant, they blasted into the skulls of the four Great Demons.
Spurt! Spurt! Spurt! Spurt!
With virtually no resistance, the four Great Demons—each at the level of a Half-Step Demon King—had their heads severed by the Swords of True Qi, slain in an instant!
Seven days earlier, Ye Chen was capable of battling three Willow Demons even fiercer than these four Great Demons. Now, having absorbed a shocking amount of Fire Element True Qi, the quantity of True Qi in his body had explosively increased by more than tenfold compared to before, reaching the peak of the early Spirit Sea Realm. Furthermore, he had induced True Thunder!
Not to mention these four Great Demons, even if he were to face those three Willow Demons again, Ye Chen could completely annihilate them without resorting to his flying sword!
After slaying the four Great Demons, Ye Chen remained expressionless as he grabbed their heads with an outstretched hand, bringing them before him.
After closely inspecting the four Great Demons' heads, Ye Chen extended his hand and flung the heads away.
"I should go check out other places; the entire Fourth Sea Island is likely in chaos now!"
After muttering to himself, Ye Chen's Escaping Light flashed instantaneously, and he disappeared from the void.
