CHAPTER 1009: CHAPTER 995: THE DEMONIC HORDE’S SHOW OF FORCE

"Xuanling Ice Fiend? Almost an Innate Spiritual Object? What on earth is this?" Hearing Ye Zhen’s exclamation, Liao Feibai’s expression was somewhat bewildered.

"This......"

Seeing Liao Feibai’s expression, Ye Zhen suddenly felt an inexplicable urge to explain, but realizing that explaining everything would take a whole day.

"How should I put it? The total value of all the Spirit Crystals and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in Yang Ben’s storage ring probably can’t exchange for this sealed box of Xuanling Ice Fiend!

If one could refine this Xuanling Ice Fiend, it would possess power that even Peak Ninth Stage Establishment Kings or Dao Entrance Realm Martial Artists would fear," Ye Zhen said.

"So powerful?"

In his astonishment, Liao Feibai casually tossed the box, which he held with a Spiritual Power Giant Hand, to Ye Zhen, as if throwing an insignificant stone. "Since it’s so powerful, I’ll give it to you for protection, so you don’t get killed."

Hurriedly conjuring a Spiritual Power Giant Hand to catch it, Ye Zhen then smiled wryly.

Liao Feibai’s nerves were certainly broad; he truly didn’t consider antiques as treasures. If news about this Xuanling Ice Fiend spread, it would definitely make those Late or Peak Establishment Realm powerhouses go crazy.

Even Dao Entrance Realm experts would surely envy it.

And yet, Liao Feibai casually tossed it to Ye Zhen!

However, this item wasn’t suitable for Ye Zhen; perhaps it was fate. Truth be told, the person most suited to refining this Xuanling Ice Fiend was indeed Liao Feibai, who cultivated Ice Spirit Power and the Ice Sword Fiend.

After explaining further and spending a lot of effort, Ye Zhen finally convinced Liao Feibai to accept this Xuanling Ice Fiend.

"Senior Sister, once we have some free time in a few days, I’ll try to help you refine this Xuanling Ice Fiend. Once you can refine it, your power will..."

"Power surge, right? If I refine it, casually beating you should be no problem, huh? I always feel with my current power, beating you seems a bit challenging!" Liao Feibai said fiercely.

Ye Zhen immediately broke into a cold sweat; what kind of people are these!

"Alright, Senior Sister, now can you tell me how you got poisoned?" Ye Zhen suddenly brought up the topic again.

Liao Feibai frowned, "Didn’t I already tell you?"

"Told me?" Ye Zhen felt a bit confused.

"That old thing Yang Ben wanted to force me to dual cultivate with him on the night of the full moon. To force me to comply, he lit a pot of incense, unknowingly poisoning me.

Fortunately, my Ice Spirit Power is quite skilled at suppressing toxins, currently there’s no major problem; I should be able to refine it away, right?" Liao Feibai said indifferently.

"Refine it away?

Senior Sister, when you were unconscious, I carefully examined it. Though I don’t know what the poison is, from its specific toxicity, one can barely infer that within three months, if not detoxified, you’ll die from your body rotting away!"

"Rotting away and dying?" Liao Feibai shivered, then nonchalantly said, "Don’t scare me; it’s not as exaggerated as you say. Besides, there’s still three months, right?"

These broad nerves left Ye Zhen speechless.

However, now that Ye Zhen knew, he wouldn’t stand idly by.

In fact, Ye Zhen was already preparing, having roughly inferred earlier that Liao Feibai’s poison was probably related to Yin Yang Island. Most of the time, for a person at the level of Second Island Master Yang Ben, the poisons used are unique.

Wanting to detoxify, apart from an antidote or specific method, is extremely difficult!

Thus, to detoxify, there is only one method, to seek it from Yang Ben.

But who is Second Island Master Yang Ben of Yin Yang Island?

A being at the Dao Entrance Realm capable of opposing the Sky Wing Three Saints, with a large number of underlings, Ye Zhen would likely be devoured without leaving a trace if he sought him.

Ye Zhen might not succeed, but negotiating on equal terms with the Sky Wing Three Saints from Yin Yang Island, that was uncertain.

Which is one of the important reasons Ye Zhen was willing to take great risks to cooperate with the Sky Wing Three Saints.

Ye Zhen pondered along the way, drafting various strategies for potential issues in the negotiations with Heavenly Wing Island, exerting every effort to fly for a day and a half before seeing a massive oasis amidst the black ocean.

Don’t be fooled by Heavenly Wing Island’s name; its actual size is very large.

The center of Heavenly Wing Island is a vast plain and hills, on both sides are towering peaks gradually rising from flatland, looking from afar like two flapping bird wings, hence the name Heavenly Wing Island.

Heavenly Wing Island stretches about three hundred thousand miles east to west and about one hundred thousand miles north to south, with an area two to three times larger than the Ancient Demon Island Ye Zhen had previously seen.

Such a large area already rivals some human Empires on land, and because of Heavenly Wing Island’s warm climate and abundant resources, its population is quite numerous.

Due to intervention by the Sky Wing Three Saints, Heavenly Wing Island has a unified Heavenly Wing Empire, governed by descendants of the Great Saint of Jinghai, and among the Three Saints’ descendants, those without cultivation talent are sent to manage the Empire.

While the Sky Wing Three Saints are the truly revered Saints worshipped in every household of the Heavenly Wing Empire, usually issuing orders through the Heavenly Wing Mansion which they personally oversee.

The Heavenly Wing Empire values martial arts, and once the local residents of Heavenly Wing Island can break through to the Vein Forging Realm, it’s almost like ascending to immortality, being invited to Heavenly Wing Mansion, then waiting for orders from the Sky Wing Three Saints.

According to Great Sage Fug Hai’s introduction, the registered number of Vein Forging Realm Martial Artists in the Heavenly Wing Mansion—over ten thousand!

In Heavenly Wing Island, the Sky Wing Three Saints are extraordinarily aloof.

However, they rarely intervene in the Heavenly Wing Empire’s affairs, mostly cultivating within the Heavenly Pond on Sky Wing Mountain. At this moment, the place Great Sage Fug Hai is accompanying Ye Zhen to is the Heavenly Pond on Sky Wing Mountain!

To be precise, the Heavenly Pond on Sky Wing Mountain is a sea eye where spirit veins converge. Martial Artists who mainly cultivate Water Spiritual Power find that cultivation here yields twice the results with half the effort.

Cultivation within this sea eye is even more effective than in the depths of the ocean!

"Let’s go, Big Brother and Third Brother have already received the news and are waiting for you in Heavenly Wing Palace!" The Great Sage of the Overturning Sea said as he led the way.

Flying over the sea eye of Sky Wing Mountain, Ye Zhen was immediately astonished.

Along this flight path, Ye Zhen saw nearly a hundred gigantic Demon Beasts playing in the sea eye, including some members of the Demon Race who had only recently transformed into human form.

The demon beasts that have not yet shapeshifted have a cultivation at least at Mid Stage Spirit Tier, equivalent to the Fourth or Fifth Stage Establishment Kings.

Some bold ones even conjured soaring water columns, demonstrating astonishing mastery of Water Control abilities!

If Ye Zhen’s observations are correct, quite a few of them must be descendants of the Sky Wing Three Saints.

"Roar roar roar roar......"

The moment Ye Zhen passed by, nearly a hundred tribes roared simultaneously!

The roar shook the heavens, startling Ye Zhen and causing Liao Feibai’s complexion to pale!

Seeing their expressions, the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea felt somewhat proud, "Ye Zhen, you and your senior sister are the first outsiders to set foot in the Sea Eye Heavenly Pool!

Do you find the strength of our Heavenly Wing Island formidable yet?"

The Great Sage of the Overturning Sea seemed more like he was flaunting his power.

Or rather, in Ye Zhen, the former Supreme Commander of the Eastern Expedition’s view, the battle at the negotiating table had already commenced!

With a cold snort, Ye Zhen casually glanced at the nearly hundred demon tribes inside the sea eye below, and suddenly submerged his Divine Sense into the Black Dragon Martial Meridians!

"Roar!"

Just unsealing two parts of the Black Dragon Martial Meridians, a broken black dragon figure suddenly emerged, letting out a fragmented angry roar.

An indescribable and terrifying pressure suddenly emanated from Ye Zhen’s body.

The Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, closest to Ye Zhen, shivered violently, his body surrounded by an explosive energy protecting him.

Under Ye Zhen’s incomplete Black Dragon Pressure, the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea was unaffected; however, the nearly hundred demon tribes in the Heavenly Pond below suffered.

Those with low cultivation, especially those of the demon race that hadn’t shapeshifted, were struck by the Black Dragon Pressure, causing their eyes to roll and flipping belly up within the sea eye.

It’s fortunate they are naturally aquatic; otherwise, if they were flying demon beasts, this single attack would likely drown several.

Even the powerful and shapeshifted demon tribes were not much better.

Under Ye Zhen’s Black Dragon Pressure, those transformed demon tribes trembled all over, their Divine Souls quivering, afraid to the point where they couldn’t maintain human form.

One by one, they revealed their true Demon Clan forms. Even more amusingly for Liao Feibai, some deeply cultivated Demon Clan Martial Artists, under Ye Zhen’s Black Dragon Pressure, only revealed parts of their true forms.

For example, a head as a human and a body of a whale, or a human face with frog legs, etc.

"Pfft!"

Seeing the strange scenes below, Liao Feibai couldn’t help but giggle.

The Great Sage of the Overturning Sea’s face instantly turned darker than a pot bottom.

Ye Zhen unhurriedly dispelled the Black Dragon Pressure, "Great Sage, it seems that your younger generation’s cultivation is still lacking. Look at that one, fish head, fish body, human leg, showing his rear, really......"

At the next moment, the extremely black-faced Great Sage of the Overturning Sea couldn’t help but roar, "A bunch of embarrassing idiots, get back to the depths of the sea eye to cultivate!"

In an instant, the waves rolled, and nearly a hundred demon tribes disappeared completely!

"Brother Ye, you’re really something; you came to our Heavenly Wing Island with a show of force. Isn’t this forcing this Saint to fight back for dignity?"

The grand and robust figure clad in golden armor, the Great Saint of Jinghai, appeared floating from the mountaintop great hall. His overwhelming aura locked tightly on Ye Zhen, forcing Ye Zhen and Liao Feibai into involuntary retreat.

Behind him followed the black-clad and stern-faced Great Saint of Sea-Breaking, whose reserved aura yet chilling gaze caused Ye Zhen’s heart to race wildly!

A Dao Realm Expert indeed impressive!

Even as Ye Zhen, pushed back step by step by the Great Saint of Jinghai, lazily rolled his eyes, "Great Saint, if I had the strength to defy you, I wouldn’t be invited here today.

First was the demonstration by the demon clans, then the Great Saint of Jinghai wants to drive me away, is this how Heavenly Wing Island treats guests?"

As he spoke, Ye Zhen sharply turned his gaze to the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, "Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, such actions make us seriously doubt Heavenly Wing Island’s sincerity!"

"With your paltry strength, you’re still asking for sincerity?" came the chilling voice of the Great Saint of Sea-Breaking.

Ye Zhen and Liao Feibai exchanged a glance and chuckled conspiratorially.

Immediately, the faces of the Great Saint of Jinghai, Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, and Great Saint of Sea-Breaking changed dramatically at the same time! (To be continued.
