CHAPTER 839: CHAPTER 515: THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD’S CALAMITY

"Ah, the kingdom has been defeated."

"The armies sent by the Tulip Kingdom are increasing, and the factories have been completely mastered by them, working day and night to produce mechanical martial weapons."

"I’ve heard that several coastal ports of the Steel Kingdom have fallen, and inland cities are also erupting into turmoil..."

Hurricane Island, in the ruins of collapsed buildings, is full of people with numb expressions.

In dark corners, ragged and patched-up civilians whisper, a look of unwilling hostility and sorrow on their faces.

This scene is just a snapshot of Hurricane Island, where homeless civilians huddle in corners, becoming numb under the oppressive rule of the Tulip Kingdom army.

Many able-bodied men have been forced to become workers, shoveling coal into boilers day and night to fuel this war.

For the time being, only the mansion district in the center of the island.

Still barely maintains a semblance of dignity, secretly contemplating an escape route with hidden sorrow.

"This is war after all..."

"But at least we’ve kept our lives."

Using magnetic field fluctuations to see the situation on the island, the Star Spirit shook her head.

She had witnessed too many similar scenes, even seen the destruction of world civilizations with her own eyes.

Compared to that, the scene of this kingdom war, though bloody and oppressive, did not stir much emotion in her.

In response, Chen Feng silently withdrew his perception, not intervening in the situation on Hurricane Island.

Although he needed the nutrients of fear to nurture the growth of the Green Armor, he did not want to become a primitive beast of indiscriminate slaughter.

Besides, the Tulip Kingdom is not necessarily his enemy.

At least until now, there has been no conflict between them.

In contrast, it was the Steel Kingdom, due to the incidents involving the Mermaid and Jia Ta, where he had killed several nobles, leading to a series of manhunts.

If calculated carefully, his animosity with them is deeper instead.

Thud!

Immediately withdrawing perception.

Chen Feng, extraordinarily calm, leapt into the sea.

According to several positioning pieces of information provided by the Star Spirit, one was near this Hurricane Island.

He needs enough resources to advance the Awakening Method, even if the warships are far inferior to the World Ark, they are still better than having no resources.

Splash!

The sea water churned as he transformed into a long rainbow, skimming through the deep sea.

The Golden Gang Qi automatically isolated the surrounding sea water’s obstruction, and with his breath contained, no one on the warships above the sea noticed his presence.

Time passed, Chen Feng’s mind continuously echoed with the Star Spirit’s voice.

"It should be nearby."

"Almost there, almost there!"

The Star Spirit kept talking excitedly, unable to pinpoint the exact location.

Chen Feng’s perception was fully extended, penetrating the reefs and the sea sands, constantly scanning the area like a radar.

He discovered skeletons, and many sunken cargoes from merchant ships also buried here.

Uninterested in this, Chen Feng accelerated his pace, navigating continuously through the surrounding waters of Hurricane Island.

Gradually, as time passed.

He frowned slightly, suddenly noticing a bit of anomaly.

"Something’s wrong."

Narrowing his eyes, Chen Feng looked ahead.

The sea light refracted like columns, several wooden crates growing with moss, toppled over the sand.

This wasn’t the main point, but rather the pitch-black reef behind those crates.

It seemed ordinary, with nothing strange about it.

But as Chen Feng perceived, he saw an engraved pattern on the reef’s surface.

A snake tail like a pillar, falling from the sky.

Open bat wings covering the body and beast-like head.

Unexplainably, Chen Feng suddenly thought of the black-robed man he had killed at the sea eye seal before.

The black token carried by that man had a similar pattern on it.

"Left by the Crimson Series?"

The thought flashed by, Chen Feng’s perception swept towards the surrounding reefs.

Soon, his gaze fixed; he discovered that there were quite a few of such patterns.

Some were covered by seaweed, others by mud and sand.

Every few hundred meters there was one, continuously spreading around the seabed reefs, as if surrounding the entire Hurricane Island.

Even moreover, upon careful observation.

Near each pattern, were the remains of the corpses left by the kingdom’s war.

"Who’s there!"

Suddenly, a cold shout rang out in the seabed.

Chen Feng paused his steps, squinting as he looked ahead.

Water churned a kilometer away, black light flashed across the island’s seabed rocks, and a figure appeared suddenly.

In a black robe, hood covering the face.

The Saint Level aura turned into pressure, spreading out, causing the surrounding swimming fish to explode, their blood mist dyeing the seabed red.

"You?"

His eyes filled with scarlet malice towards Chen Feng.

About to take action.

However.

Thunk!!

Heart skipped a beat, pupils contracted.

The image entrusted by the angel’s decree to be wary and cautious surfaced in his mind.

Slanting eyebrows, black hair, black eyes, as cold and hard as a sculpture of steel...

The two almost perfectly overlapped.

"It’s you!!"

His heart jumped wildly, pupils widening with immense shock.

The black-robed man cursed his own misfortune, wanting to retreat and blend into the black island reefs.

But before he could take action.

"You know me?"

Buzz!

The seawater solidified, turning into amber.

The gray sand and seaweed in the crevices of the reefs suddenly became static, the unfamiliar black-robed figure stared wide-eyed, frozen in shock and fear on the spot.

Unable to move, as if embedded in an invisible wall of space.

A deep voice echoed in his ears, the overbearing black-haired youth slowly floated forward, as if buoyed by the water flow, arriving before him.

Gulp!

Several bubbles of seawater floated up, the black-robed man’s eyes filled with bloodshot lines.

The panel flickered with fear prompts, Chen Feng’s eyes sharp as blades, having already caught onto the general situation.

"Tell me about it."

Overlooking calmly, Chen Feng motioned to the sinister pattern on the reef body behind.
