Chapter 2322: Demon Beast of the Island!

Chapter 2322: Chapter 2322: Demon Beast of the Island!

The three of Zhou Yu, during their rapid flight toward a certain direction.

Liu Ye suddenly spoke:

"Daoist Zhou, the formation my master taught us, surely Daoist Zhou has seen it?"

Zhou Yu nodded.

"Yes, I’ve seen it."

Liu Ye spoke:

"My master specifically explained that this formation can provide great assistance to us in accessing that forbidden land."

"My suggestion is that we might as well find a place to familiarize ourselves with the formation thoroughly, so we won’t be caught off guard in the future."

"What’s Daoist Zhou’s opinion?"

Zhou Yu shrugged.

"I’m fine with whatever you two decide."

Liu Ye looked at Shi Xuan.

Shi Xuan said blandly:

"Familiarization is fine, but I don’t want to waste too much time on it."

"This time entering the Ancient Realm, my foremost goal is to break through to the Integration Realm, secondly, to help the Sixth Elder acquire what he wants."

Shi Xuan’s meaning was already very clear.

In fact, the vast majority of people entering the Ancient Realm had the same purpose.

Liu Ye thought for a moment, then said:

"We have a year and a half now, let’s take two months to familiarize ourselves with the array, and then head to the forbidden land."

"Once we’ve completed the tasks entrusted by the elders, we’ll each go to cultivate."

"How about it?"

Shi Xuan nodded:

"Sounds good."

Liu Ye looked at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu also nodded:

"Then let’s find a safe place!"

After the three reached a consensus, they began searching.

Finally, after half a day, they found a medium-sized island above the vast ocean.

The three immediately flew swiftly toward the island.

However, as they neared the island, Zhou Yu’s speed suddenly slowed down.

Liu Ye and Shi Xuan paused as well, bewildered.

"Daoist Zhou, what’s the matter?"

Liu Ye asked.

Zhou Yu squinted his eyes, staring at the island, saying:

"There seems to be something on this island."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ye and Shi Xuan frowned and began investigating.

After a long while, they discovered the problem too.

"Hmm?"

"The very center of the island seems to have something; even Divine Sense can’t penetrate it!"

"Indeed, what’s going on?"

Liu Ye’s face showed confusion.

The two subconsciously looked at Zhou Yu.

After all, Zhou Yu was the first to notice the issue.

At this moment, a gray light flashed briefly in Zhou Yu’s eyes.

He then calmly stated:

"There’s a Demon Beast hidden in the central area of the island!"

"What?"

Liu Ye and Shi Xuan both showed expressions of surprise and doubt.

It’s worth noting that both were at the Void Refining Realm Late Stage, and even their Divine Sense couldn’t detect it, yet Zhou Yu, who was merely at the Void Refining Realm Early Stage, managed to do so.

"Daoist Zhou, how did you discover it?" Shi Xuan asked intently.

Zhou Yu answered calmly:

"I have cultivated a secret technique related to reconnaissance which proved handy."

"But it can only roughly estimate the presence of a Demon Beast; I don’t know specifically what it is!"

Zhou Yu spoke vaguely, giving Shi Xuan and Liu Ye the impression that he was only slightly more skilled than them.

Sure enough, their expressions returned to normal.

"Since it’s just a Demon Beast, let’s go confront it."

"Just in time to probe the strength level of Demon Beasts in the Ancient Realm!"

Shi Xuan said confidently.

Liu Ye glanced at Zhou Yu, seeing he had no reaction, then nodded:

"Okay, let’s go check it out!"

With that said, the three quietly restrained their breath and flew toward the island.

Upon landing on the island, Zhou Yu immediately set up the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Array at the spot where they alighted.

Seeing Zhou Yu’s action, a faint trace of contempt passed through Shi Xuan’s eyes.

In his view, Zhou Yu’s act was one of cowardice.

He didn’t do the same because he had absolute confidence in his own strength.

Meanwhile, beside him, an unusual gleam flashed in Liu Ye’s eyes.

She then slightly waved her hand.

A silver scroll magic treasure appeared before her.

She swiftly cast a spell.

The silver scroll magic treasure rose into the air, hovering above the island.

Simultaneously, it scattered a curtain of silver brilliance.

The silver brilliance enveloped the entire island.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu was slightly taken aback, then released his Divine Sense.

He immediately discovered that this silver brilliance was a barrier capable of concealing aura fluctuations.

With this silver brilliance covering the island, no matter what happens within, it can’t be seen from outside.

Zhou Yu glanced at Liu Ye, who nodded slightly toward him.

"You two wait here; I’ll go in for a look!"

Shi Xuan had already run out of patience.

Upon saying this, his figure flashed, immediately heading toward the island’s central area.

The island wasn’t large, so within merely a few breaths, Shi Xuan arrived overhead the central area.

He then punched fiercely toward the fog-filled region at the island’s center.

In an instant, a shocking Qing Mang erupted.

The terrifying Fist Force resembled a powerful bomb as it blasted downward.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu’s pupils slightly contracted.

He could tell that Shi Xuan’s punch didn’t utilize Primordial Power, but originated from his Body Power.

Shi Xuan was indeed known for his formidable Body Power, as a prodigy of the Qingxuan Clan.

This Body Power was genuinely terrifying.

Bang!

As Shi Xuan’s punch struck down.

The fog region instantly boiled like a cauldron.

The fog began to swirl fiercely.

Simultaneously, the entire island started trembling, with the amplitude of tremor growing.

A few breaths later, cracks began appearing at the island’s center.

And from those cracks, seawater gushed out.

Alongside the surging seawater, several black, whip-like objects emerged from the cracks.

These things looked like whips but were far thicker.

Each sweep cleared a couple of hundred meters around like leveling the ground.

Any rocks in its path were as fragile as tofu.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu and the others were momentarily stunned.

Then Zhou Yu quickly reminded:

"These are parts of the Demon Beast’s body."

Just as Zhou Yu finished speaking, several black beams lashed toward Shi Xuan in the air.

Seeing this, Shi Xuan sneered.

In the next moment, his figure flashed, actively diving toward one of the black beams.

Upon reaching the beam, an intense cyan radiance erupted from his hands again.

Following this, an extraordinarily powerful force exploded.

One black beam was forcibly torn by Shi Xuan.

Instantly, black blood spurted out.

After striking successfully, Shi Xuan swiftly moved toward the next black beam...
