Chapter 4829: Nine Heavens Immortal Island

A million years passed swiftly in the boundless azure expanse of the Chaos Sea.

A cyan lotus platform flew slowly, with Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan standing on it, their brows deeply furrowed. They had been flying for a million years and still hadn't reached its end. Was this Chaos Sea truly so vast? To avoid circling back, they marked every location they visited.

The Chaos Sea contained numerous natural restrictions. Mindful of the Chaos Beast Ancestor, they dared not pause their flight. Along their journey, they encountered powerful creatures that, while not strictly demonic beasts, were unique life forms, somewhat resembling Chaos Beasts.

“Is this Boundless Sea truly endless? Surely it won't pursue us any longer?” Wang Ruyan asked.

Having fled for a million years, they should have finally shaken off the Chaos Beast Ancestor.

“Probably not, but we…”

Before Wang Changsheng could finish, he frowned, unleashed a powerful punch, and a colossal cyan fist materialized, shooting straight into the waters below. The water churned violently, and a creature with a fish head, human body, and scales emerged, clutching a trident that pulsed with blue light. Its aura indicated a cultivation level in the mid-Dao Ancestor stage.

“Another one of these creatures.” Wang Ruyan's brow furrowed; this was clearly not their first encounter with such a creature.

The monster swung its trident, shattering the cyan giant fist. A gigantic blue water dragon came head-on, pouncing on the monster. The monster swung its trident to meet the attack. The trident clashed with the blue water dragon, resulting in a thunderous impact. The water dragon dispersed, transforming into a massive blue pearl—the Sealing Sea Pearl. The Sealing Sea Pearl slammed into the monster, leaving its body streaked with blood. A blue sonic blade then swept past its head, severing it. The head rolled away, bleeding profusely and staining a vast area of the sea crimson. With their current strength, a mid-Dao Ancestor was simply no match for them.

As a miniature spirit emerged from the body, it was immediately enveloped by a black aura and drawn back to Wang Changsheng, who then began to search its soul.

“Huh, it's been to a certain place, where there's something special,” Wang Changsheng said.

“Something special?” Wang Ruyan asked, puzzled.

“An abandoned island! It might be something left behind by ancient cultivators,” Wang Changsheng said, reaching out a hand. The trident flew to him, settling into his grasp.

The trident's hilt was intricately engraved, though numerous cracks marred its surface.

“A mid-grade Dao artifact. Does it not have a tribe either?” Wang Ruyan asked.

“No, it was alone from the moment it gained consciousness, having consumed other creatures. It found this mid-grade Dao artifact on that desolate island,” Wang Changsheng said. They had eliminated several such creatures. These beings had no tribes; their cultivation methods were exceedingly simple, involving only the absorption of vital energy and the consumption of other life forms, preserving the most primitive forms of cultivation.

“An island, a Dao artifact! Let's go check it out!” Wang Ruyan said.

Wang Changsheng nodded, stored the monster's corpse, and with a quick hand seal, the cyan lotus platform surged with brilliant light, accelerating forward.

Half a month later, they arrived at a black sea region where the sky above crackled with lightning and thunder, and immense bolts of nine-colored immortal lightning struck down.

“Is that desolate island here?” Wang Ruyan said with a frown.

“We have to pass through this sea region to reach it,” Wang Changsheng said, bringing forth seven Lightning-Restraining Flags. This treasured set had already been upgraded to a high-grade Dao artifact. The flags orbited them once, then transformed into a shimmering silver light curtain, enveloping both him and Wang Ruyan.

The cyan lotus platform flew forward, and a thick nine-colored immortal lightning bolt struck down, heading straight for them. Wang Ruyan raised a cyan flute to her lips and began to play, sending forth waves of cyan sonic energy to meet the incoming lightning. The cyan sonic waves shattered the descending nine-colored immortal lightning. However, as they ventured deeper into the sea, the number and potency of the lightning bolts intensified. The barrage of nine-colored immortal lightning overwhelmed the cyan sonic waves and then struck the silver light curtain, where their power seemed to vanish, like mud dissolving in the ocean.

After less than half a day, they left this sea area, and a vast, boundless continent came into view. Wang Ruyan activated her Blazing Fire True Eyes to scan the area. Her brows furrowed, and she remarked, “There are numerous restrictions here.”

Wang Changsheng released Wang Tun Tian, whose eyes glowed with dazzling yellow light. “Master, there's an island,” Wang Tun Tian said.

Wang Changsheng formed a hand seal, and the cyan lotus platform flew towards the continent. Wang Ruyan guided Wang Changsheng, skillfully avoiding the restrictions. Half a day later, the cyan lotus platform halted. An island, lush with vegetation, floated suspended in the sky.

“Nine Heavens Immortal Island! Is it related to Dao Ancestor Nine Heavens?” Wang Changsheng's gaze landed on a golden stone tablet, and a pensive expression crossed his face. Both Mo Yinyin and the Chaos Beast knew of Dao Ancestor Nine Heavens. Dao Ancestor Nine Heavens didn't participate in the Great Dao War, so could he have ventured into the Chaos Sea only to perish here?

“There's something on the island,” Wang Ruyan said with a frown.

No sooner had she spoken than a sharp screech echoed. A vast swarm of black light erupted from the island: a countless multitude, numbering in the hundreds of millions, of bat-headed, human-bodied creatures with ox horns, so numerous they blotted out the sky.

“Bat-people?” Wang Changsheng's gaze flickered with surprise and uncertainty; these creatures bore a resemblance to the Bat-people race.

Wang Ruyan played the cyan jade flute, and waves of cyan sonic energy swept out to meet them. The cyan sonic waves swept through the strange bats, causing most of them to plummet from the sky. Then, an eerie screech pierced the air. All the strange bats ignited with black light, and an astonishing sight unfolded: their bodies rapidly merged into a single colossal black bat with blood-red eyes, its aura reaching the late Dao Ancestor stage.

“What kind of secret art is this!” Wang Changsheng was somewhat surprised; it was his first time witnessing such a situation. With a swift movement of his fists, cyan fist projections flew forth, striking at the monstrous bat. The monstrous bat emitted a strange, ear-splitting shriek and unleashed a black halo, infused with the power of nine Origin Laws, hurtling directly towards Wang Changsheng. The cyan fist projections collided with the black halo, scattering like eggs against a stone.

The void rippled, and vast empty portals materialized, from which cyan fist projections and immense bolts of chaotic immortal lightning surged forth, striking the colossal bat. The enormous creature's body shuddered, rapidly shrinking as countless smaller bats fell from the sky, plummeting to the ground and splattering into pulp.

“Laws of Soul Origin, Laws of Karma Origin! Dual Supreme Origin Laws,” the monstrous bat spoke, its voice laced with a hint of terror, before attempting to flee.

From eighteen separate portals, eighteen Sealing Sea Pearls emerged, each radiating blinding blue light. These eighteen beams converged into a singular, immense blue water curtain, its surface shimmering with countless smaller blue lights, like a galaxy of stars. These myriad 'stars' suddenly blazed, and countless blue beams rained down from above, streaking towards the monstrous bat. The monstrous bat tried to evade, but a potent spatial Origin force instantly materialized, holding it captive. Before it could struggle free, the dense blue lights relentlessly hammered its body, instantly reducing its colossal form to a pulpy mess.
