Chapter 2227: Found!
After Zhou Yu set up the array barrier on the island,
he sat cross-legged.
He began to restore his primordial power.
While recovering, the Divine Soul Firebird soared out from Zhou Yu’s palm, surrounding a black shield, continuously spewing fire.
This black shield was a magic treasure refined by Zhou Yu using crystal chips left from the wings of a Black Butterfly.
The defense of those Black Butterfly wings was so strong that even Zhou Yu was quite shocked.
Therefore, using crystal chips to craft a defense magical treasure, its power can be imagined.
Defense magical treasures, compared to attack treasures, are much easier to refine.
The most important thing for defense magical treasures is the defensive materials themselves.
As long as there are good defensive materials, they can be quickly refined.
The remaining time is actually spent on properly nurturing it.
Zhou Yu spent only three days to refine this treasure, and then, for the past three months, he has been using the Divine Soul Firebird to nurture this treasure.
Soon, the consumed primordial power within Zhou Yu was fully restored.
However, Zhou Yu was not in a hurry to get up but continued to use the Divine Soul Firebird to nurture the shield treasure.
At the same time, he showed a contemplative expression on his face.
Lately, near the Southern Sea Domain, he had searched a considerable range.
But the more he searched, the more Zhou Yu felt alarmed.
His previous understanding of the ocean was far from enough.
Over this period, Zhou Yu developed a deep sense of awe for this sea domain.
In these three months, the area he searched should cover tens of millions of miles.
But this can only be regarded as searching the surface of the ocean.
In the depths of the ocean, even Zhou Yu’s Divine Sense can only probe up to a thousand miles down.
Beyond a thousand miles, it is a terrifying darkness and immense pressure.
Zhou Yu’s Divine Sense cannot clearly see the situation below.
Moreover, below a thousand miles, Zhou Yu discovered at least more than a dozen terrifying auras.
It must be noted, with his current cultivation, if the aura could make him sense terror, it is imaginable how terrifying those existences are!
Zhou Yu doesn’t know if that sea beast is in the shallow sea area, or if this beast is also deep within the thousand-mile sea region.
Due to the lack of more information, he can only pray that the sea beast is not that powerful.
However, according to Zixiao, this sea beast often appeared near Aurora Island previously.
Keep in mind, those terrifying deep-sea existences rarely reveal themselves easily.
So, there’s a high probability that this sea beast should not be located in the deep sea.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu regained his confidence, flew up, and continued searching.
Days passed by one after another.
Zhou Yu seemed to have fallen into some kind of dead cycle.
Searching, fierce battle, meditation, then continuing to search, fierce battle...
In the blink of an eye, another three years have passed.
Zhou Yu was like a tireless machine, crazily sweeping the entire Southern Sea Domain.
During this time, he had killed countless demon beasts.
Zhou Yu himself did not keep count.
He only knew that the demon cores he collected from the demon beasts had already reached tens of thousands.
Note that these demon cores are at least from the Nascent Soul Realm and above.
Moreover, later on, Zhou Yu was no longer interested in Nascent Soul Realm demon cores and only collected those from the Divinity Transformation Realm and above.
Yet even so, there was still no trace of the sea beast’s aura.
One day.
Zhou Yu continued flying over the sea without expression.
Just then, a strange roaring sound suddenly came from a distant sea region.
Upon hearing this roar, a gleam of light suddenly appeared in Zhou Yu’s previously expressionless eyes.
You must know that in three years, he has killed over a thousand types of demon beasts.
The aura and cries of all these demon beasts he had killed were all too familiar to him.
However, that strange roar just now.
Zhou Yu was quite certain he had never encountered it before.
Therefore, hope instantly rose in his heart.
Without saying a word, Zhou Yu immediately flew in the direction where the roaring sound came from.
At the same time, his Divine Sense swiftly covered that area.
When his Divine Sense probed that region, an expression of surprise and joy appeared in Zhou Yu’s eyes.
"Huh, this creature seems very similar to the sea beast Zixiao described."
"Could it be, have I finally found it?"
Zhou Yu was extremely excited at this moment.
His speed was exceptionally fast, crossing the entire sky within a few breaths of time.
...
Meanwhile, in a sea region shrouded with heavy clouds.
There was a small sea island.
On either side of the island appeared two terrifying demon beasts in a standoff.
One was entirely golden, with a body size of over five hundred zhang.
Its most notable feature was the pair of enormous, fearsome pincers flickering with a chilling gleam.
This was actually a Golden Giant Crab demon beast.
On the other side was a completely black Flood Dragon.
This Flood Dragon had a size of over three hundred zhang as well.
It exuded an aura of terrifying coldness.
At this moment, these two demon beasts were facing each other across the island, emitting intimidating roars.
With each roar, the surrounding seawater surged with huge waves.
After a series of roars, neither side managed to intimidate the other.
The black Flood Dragon could no longer hold back and was about to make a move.
Meanwhile, the Golden Giant Crab continuously wielded its fearsome pincers, ready to launch an attack at any time.
Just then, a Thunder Light flashed instantly across the sky.
Its terrifying speed immediately caught the attention of both demon beasts.
They both raised their heads simultaneously, looking at the sky.
The Thunder Light shortly arrived above the small island, appearing between the two demon beasts.
From the Thunder Light, a human figure emerged.
It was Zhou Yu.
The moment Zhou Yu appeared, his gaze instantly locked onto the black Flood Dragon.
A look of excitement emerged on his face.
"It really is this sea beast."
"I’ve finally found it."
Amid his excitement, Zhou Yu also noticed the Golden Giant Crab on the other side!
"Hmm?"
"There’s also a Golden Giant Crab?"
"It seems to possess the purest bloodline of the Golden Giant Crab."
"This trip was truly not in vain."
Zhou Yu laughed heartily, then waved his hand.
The Titan Black Mountain appeared instantly.
Then, under Zhou Yu’s control, it transformed into a giant mountain a thousand zhang tall, directly smashing towards the Golden Giant Crab.
Simultaneously, Zhou Yu activated the Brahma Heaven Dharma, and with the appearance of a several hundred zhang Dharma form.
The Brahma Heaven Demon Qi within Zhou Yu began to surge out, ferociously bombarding the black Flood Dragon.
Zhou Yu’s strike simultaneously targeted the two demon beasts.
Neither demon beast expected this suddenly appeared human to be so arrogant.
After a brief moment of shock, both the black Flood Dragon and the Golden Giant Crab let out earth-shattering roars of anger.
Soon after, both demon beasts simultaneously began to counterattack.
The entire sea region was instantly plunged into a tempestuous turmoil...
