C572 Islands
The limitless ocean simply couldn't see the end of it.
No matter how powerful a warrior was, standing in this endless sea, they felt like a tiny speck of sand.
The sea breeze continued to pound against the waves as it rolled towards Qin Shaojie. Standing atop the ocean, Qin Shaojie's breathing also became more serious. He thought that he was an extraordinarily talented person with a tenacious character, but at this moment, he couldn't help but be shocked by the magnificence of this ocean. Qin Shaojie also had not truly stepped into this vast ocean, it was not just him, but a large majority of the warriors in the Tian Yuan Continent also did not have any contact with the ocean either.
It was rumored that even those strong existences that were on the level of Spirit Stage would feel a sense of powerlessness when facing the sea. It was even rumored that an existence at the Saint level, using his own transcendent divine might, was trying to burn all of the seawater in the sea, trying to turn the sea into land so that more people could have enough good land. Unfortunately, in the end, no one had any use for it. There had also been rumours that a powerful existence had entered the depths of the sea, trying to find the end of the sea. However, in the end, they had never returned.
From then on, in this world, whether it was ordinary people with low strength or powerful warriors, no one dared to carelessly step into this boundless sea. Even now, the thermals still hadn't stopped their exploration of the sea. However, this process had become abnormally careful.
After exiting the spatial space, Qin Shaojie was led by the Black Scorpion Man's corpse puppet to advance deeper into the ocean. A distance of thousands of kilometers was not considered short, and even to the level of Qin Shaojie, who was at the peak of the Earth Origin Stage, he had spent quite a bit of effort.
On this journey, the deeper one went, the thinner the Heaven and Earth profound energy became. If one was able to see some fishermen at the start, then they would not even be able to see the sails later on. Meanwhile, the small islands also gradually disappeared from their line of sight. With this disappearance, the entire sea seemed dead silent, but this silence was accompanied by great danger. Countless unknown sea creatures appeared in Qin Shaojie's line of sight.
These sea creatures were like demonic beasts with a strong battle strength, even Qin Shaojie had to be cautious. Some of them were even able to soar several tens of meters into the air, which was already a great threat to Qin Shaojie at such a distance. Of course, with Qin Shaojie's capabilities, these so-called marine organisms were not enough to make it stop in its tracks.
However, the deeper he went, the more serious Qin Shaojie's expression became.
At this moment, he understood why ordinary people did not dare to venture too deeply into this place. It was because there was no other reason. These powerful sea creatures were not something that ordinary people could resist, let alone escape from. Because the deeper they went, the stronger and more powerful the sea creatures became!
Finally, with Qin Shaojie and the Black Scorpion Man's corpse puppet's footsteps, they walked the distance of thousands of miles. When they stopped again, at the end of Qin Shaojie's line of sight, an island appeared. This island looked extremely unremarkable on the endless sea like a lone boat, but when it truly appeared above the island at a close distance, Qin Shaojie frowned slightly as a serious expression appeared in his eyes.
The island was ten thousand miles wide, with towering peaks and flowing rivers. The island seemed to be covered with an ancient forest, and it looked lush and verdant, causing the entire island to be filled with vitality. It was completely different from when Qin Shaojie had rushed over earlier.
However, the appearance of the small island caused Qin Shaojie's eyes to flicker non-stop. He was at least thousands of kilometers away from the nearest continent, but the powerful sea creatures he had originally imagined did not appear around the small island. It was as if there was something that frightened the sea creatures around the island, so there was not a single fish to be seen within a few dozen kilometers of the island.
In this situation, Qin Shaojie also felt that it was strange. One must know that along the way, he had released the peak of his Earth Origin Stage and was still unable to intimidate those sea creatures, let alone a mere small island.
Master, this is the Yingzhou Island, also the mystical island in Shi Zhen's memories.
Black Scorpion Man's Corpse Puppet standing beside Qin Shaojie quickly replied. Right now, the Black Scorpion Man's corpse puppet had completely devoured Shi Zhen's memories, and with Qin Shaojie's help, it had refined Shi Zhen's remnant soul. The consciousness of the Black Scorpion Man's corpse puppet was extremely strong, so it was normal for it to speak.
Of course he was a smart person, he knew that in front of Qin Shaojie, the only way to become strong was to be truly loyal to him. Back then, Shi Zhen was just too greedy. However, it was this greed that allowed the Black Scorpion Man's corpse puppet to gain intelligence.
However, according to his memories, this Yingzhou Island was not simple at all. There was an extremely strange set of energy barrier and patterns surrounding him.
The Black Scorpion Man Corpse Puppet continued to speak, and upon hearing this, Qin Shaojie's face revealed a look of astonishment. Wherever his eyes looked, there were no signs of energy fluctuations. Everything appeared to be ordinary and normal, to the point where the things in Shi Zhen's memories couldn't possibly have any problems. As the successor of the Demon Subduing Workshop, he must be extremely accurate regarding these records.
Rumble!
Just as Qin Shaojie was prepared to continue exploring, he saw that in the southwest corner of the island, there was a giant python with a shark like body. It suddenly appeared near the island, as if the python wanted to eat Qin Shaojie and the Black Scorpion Man's corpse puppet.
The enormous body of the creature trembled as it jumped down from the ocean, and its enormous body also emitted an extremely strong aura fluctuation. Under this aura, even Qin Shaojie's body sank a little, but just as Qin Shaojie was about to make his move, he saw that there was a sudden flash of light on this seemingly unmoving island.
The light was not dazzling, rather, it was somewhat gentle. However, under this gentle pillar of light, the gigantic body of the sea creature seemed to have been sliced into a dozen pieces. Its life force instantly disappeared, and its gigantic body was split into several sections as it fell on the island.
The fresh blood that was scattered all over the sky finally fell onto the island along with its tattered body.
The entire process only took a few breaths of time, and even Qin Shaojie was quite surprised to the point that he did not manage to see the entire process clearly.
Most importantly, when the sea monster was killed and fell to the ground, Qin Shaojie could clearly see that the blood on its body seemed to be being absorbed by the sand and stone on the island. In just a quarter of an hour, the blood of the entire ocean monster was completely drenched in flu, and even its skin and flesh had started to dry up. If this was a normal death, it would take several months to do so
There was no scent of blood in the air. There was also not the slightest trace of blood on the land of the island.
Only the scattered corpses seemed to indicate that some of what Qin Shaojie had seen was real.
This is the Yingzhou Island? A Yingzhou Island filled with danger?
Seeing this, Qin Shaojie suppressed his inner heart and muttered to himself. Previously, Shi Zhen had said that everything here was extremely terrifying and unique. It was no wonder that there were no sea monsters or even the most common sea fishes around the island. It seemed like it was not by chance, as all of this was related to the so called Yingzhou Island.
How could a tiger not fall into a tiger's lair? Only a true great crisis held hidden great opportunities.2
The aura released by the sea monster before was not weaker than Qin Shaojie's, the defensive power of such a strong existence was actually as weak as paper scraps under the light. Under such circumstances, even if Qin Shaojie was rather bold and confident about his own body, he still did not dare to rashly step in.
Qin Shaojie had attempted to find whether or not there were any large formations laid around the area around the marriage ceremony, but what made Qin Shaojie quite surprised was that he actually did not manage to see anything. It had to be known that the previous change must have come into contact with something, and such a touch was what triggered the attack of the energy. Such a situation must have been caused by the formation.
However, he was unable to find the core of the formation. Since it was impossible to find the core of the formation, it would be almost impossible to understand it.
In Shi Zhen's memories, there was no specific method to enter the formation, but the method was clear. If one was unable to enter the formation, then they would not be able to enter the Yingzhou Island. The Black Scorpion Man's Corpse Puppet quickly explained.
The Black Scorpion Man's corpse puppet also saw what happened just now. The sharpness and power of the light rays had already surpassed what they could endure right now. The sea monster did not even have the time to cry out in pain before it was sliced into pieces.
If he were to rashly make a move and attempt to enter, he would most likely end up in the same situation as the sea monster from before.
Qin Shaojie was naturally clear of this logic as well.
If one wanted to find the core of the formation, one either had to know that it was a formation that could be easily found. Or maybe there were enough samples for Qin Shaojie to analyze.
Unfortunately, there were almost no sea creatures in the surrounding area, much less those powerful sea monsters. The guy who just appeared was probably a newbie. Otherwise, he wouldn't have rashly jumped onto the island. However, it was a rather difficult task to continue searching for sea monsters like the one from before.
Since that was the case, he had no choice but to use other methods.
Otherwise, if there was no further action or if he could not enter the island, everything would be for naught!
I can only rely on you!
With that, Qin Shaojie summoned the sarcophagus out. As Qin Shaojie's strength grew, the stone coffin became more and more powerful, and he was unable to see through the stone coffin.
The only thing that he could be certain of was that the defense of the sarcophagus already exceeded his imagination, and it was even more so against physical attacks if they were resistant to high temperatures without fear of profound strength. As to what level of attack the sarcophagus could defend against, Qin Shaojie was still unclear.
However, what was certain was that life and death realm, and even Spirit Stage, were unable to break through the coffin's defense.
It was a pity that the current Qin Shaojie could barely manage to control the sarcophagus. If he wanted to know the secrets inside the sarcophagus, he could not do it with his current strength.
With a shift of his consciousness, the sarcophagus rushed into the Yingzhou Island without restraint. Its speed was not fast, and even under Qin Shaojie's control, it seemed a little slow.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
However, when the sarcophagus neared the small island, a series of humming sounds suddenly rang out. Under these buzzing sounds, several rays of light shot out like before.
Under this situation, Qin Shaojie could clearly feel the cutting power of the wind blades within the light.
However, his pupils continuously swivelled under this feeling!
On this island, there really was something similar to energy barrier! Anyone who wanted to enter the island would not be able to enter the island without going through the energy barrier. However, if they wanted to penetrate the barrier, they would have to pay a huge price!
