CHAPTER 1124: CHAPTER 1124: THE UPHEAVAL OF DARK GOD ISLAND

Xu Nian, accompanied by seven women, quickly arrived at the edge of the Forbidden Sea.

Looking at the thunder-filled barrier of the Forbidden Sea, his eyes were full of emotion.

He recalled how in those days, he breached the barrier of the Forbidden Sea and stepped into the Cultivation World when he was merely at the Zifu Realm.

Now, years have passed, and he has already reached the Earth Immortal Realm.

The barrier, once overwhelmingly powerful to him, no longer posed any threat.

"Beyond this thunder barrier lies the domain of the Forbidden Sea. At that time, your cultivation will be suppressed, limited to that of the Supreme Battle Emperor. However, even so, your strength will still surpass many," Xu Nian said to the seven women.

In reality, he was speaking to Xuanyuan Qingling, Murong Xue, Bai Lingxue, and Han Xiaoxiao.

The other three women were from the Tianhen Continent, so they naturally knew the characteristics of this forbidden barrier.

The four women nodded, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Although the continent they were headed to was called the Lost Land, it was a place that had nurtured a genius like Xu Nian.

This indicated that the continent was not as worthless as the rumors suggested.

"Let’s go!"

Xu Nian said to the seven women.

Then he led the way towards the barrier.

Among the seven women, Zhao Yanyun and Leng Yanran were the weakest in terms of strength.

Yet even the weakest possessed Harmonization-level cultivation, so this barrier was no hindrance to them.

"Buzz!"

Xu Nian passed through the barrier, the thunder striking his body.

It was like a mere tickle, causing no harm whatsoever.

While the other women used True Essence to resist, he did not employ any defense at all.

Soon, the group of eight successfully traversed the forbidden barrier.

Upon crossing the forbidden barrier, Xu Nian immediately felt a power of law exerting upon him.

It suppressed his cultivation to the Supreme Battle Emperor Realm.

However, his prowess in the Supreme Battle Emperor Realm was incredibly formidable, an almost invincible presence.

After all, only his cultivation was suppressed; he could freely utilize the Realm of Profound Argumentation and other skills.

"Such barren spiritual energy, and it’s extremely violent too; no wonder this place is called the Lost Land," Han Xiaoxiao remarked, feeling the suppression of her cultivation and assessing the surrounding spiritual energy.

The other six women, except for Zhao Yanyun, Leng Yanran, and Hong Xiang, were mentally prepared for this.

The other four found it quite uncomfortable, even after Xu Nian’s reminder.

"The spiritual energy may be barren, but it is not violent on the mainland; its violent nature here is solely due to its depth within the Forbidden Sea," Xu Nian explained again.

The four women nodded, beginning to slowly adapt to their suppressed cultivation state.

Their strengths were not low, so naturally, they could adapt quickly.

"Let’s go! We shall first visit Dark God Island and meet the Dark God Island Master!" Xu Nian said to the group of women.

The women all nodded in agreement.

Especially Hong Xiang and Bai Lingxue.

Their return was mainly to see the Dark God Island Master.

If possible, they wished to invite him back to the Heavenly Array Sect to rebuild its strength.

The flying speed of Xu Nian and the seven women was swift, and they soon traversed the vast Forbidden Sea, reaching the near seas of the Tianhen Continent.

"Ahead lies the territory of Dark God Island," Xu Nian pointed to a small black dot in the distance.

They were now only a hundred miles away from this black dot.

Given Xu Nian’s mastery of the Space Shuttle Profound Argumentation, he could now perform instant teleportation anywhere within a hundred miles.

Should he wish, he could instantly reach Dark God Island.

The seven women gazed at the island ahead with eager eyes as well.

Especially Hong Xiang, Zhao Yanyun, and Leng Yanran, who had spent a long time on Dark God Island.

Returning now evoked a sense of familiarity.

Xu Nian also smiled continually, feeling an overwhelming sense of familiarity.

Suddenly, Xu Nian’s expression changed.

"What’s the matter?" Xuanyuan Qingling, attuned to Xu Nian, was the first to notice his change in expression.

"Something seems to have happened to Dark God Island. I’ll go take a look first," Xu Nian said, and the next moment, he vanished into thin air.

The expressions of the seven women also turned cold instantly, indicating that this visit would not be as smooth as expected.

After all, for Xu Nian to react in such a manner meant Dark God Island had encountered significant trouble.

"Buzz!"

Above the island, Xu Nian appeared out of nowhere.

He looked down at the island, his brows furrowing instantly.

The Spirit Gathering Array that once enveloped the entire island was now absent.

The island’s vegetation had also disappeared, leaving the island in complete disarray.

Clearly, Dark God Island had recently been through a major battle.

Xu Nian frowned tightly. Earlier, when he used his spiritual sense to sweep the island, he had noticed something amiss.

Upon closer inspection, it was confirmed.

Now, utilizing his spiritual sense throughout the island, Xu Nian found no sign of anyone.

The original disciples of Dark God Island and the Dark God Island Master were nowhere to be seen.

"What’s going on? Who in the entire Tianhen Continent could defeat the Dark God Island Master?" Xu Nian pondered with a furrowed brow.

The Dark God Island Master’s power had reached the Peak of Tribulation Crossing.

Even if his realm was suppressed, he was at the Pseudo Tribulation Level of a Supreme Battle Emperor.

Moreover, being a top-grade Array Master, even a strong Earth Immortal Realm cultivator would struggle to harm him.

Yet now, Dark God Island lay in ruins.

"Whiz, whiz, whiz!"

Seven streams of light flew over.

The seven women appeared above Dark God Island, surprised as they surveyed the ruins below.

"What happened here? Where is my master?" Hong Xiang asked impatiently.

"I’ve already used my spiritual sense to probe a thousand-mile radius of the sea and found no trace of the island master. Besides, there are obvious signs of a fight on the island; those who fought were quite powerful. If I’m not mistaken, it seems the island master had a conflict with someone, but the destruction on the island is not severe, indicating the opponent was very strong, and the island master was not his match," Xu Nian analyzed as he examined the surroundings.

Hong Xiang and others grew tense upon hearing this: "Then my master..."

"However, there is no corpse on the island, so I guess the island master is still alive—either escaped or captured. The likelihood of his escape is high," Xu Nian reassured.

In truth, it wasn’t just reassurance; after all, the island master’s strength was quite formidable.

Hong Xiang slightly relaxed upon hearing this.

Still, she was nervous, pondering who could possess such power to force her master to abandon Dark God Island.

"Alright then, wait here on the island for a while; I will visit the Four Great Sea Clans and see if they know anything," Xu Nian said to the seven women.

The seven women nodded in agreement.

"Be careful!" Xuanyuan Qingling and others advised.

Xu Nian nodded, disappearing the next moment.

The seven women then began to rebuild Dark God Island, striving to restore it to its original state.
