Chapter 690 - 371: Sensation! All Celestial Star Tribulation Thunder Array
Only a few of the Celestial Demon Army who received the news, like fish slipping through the net, fled from the area being surrounded and exterminated. Given their high level of concealment, they left that sea region promptly and scattered across various places, thus surviving.
This news directly ignited a spark of anger in Zheng Yi, the Daoist Lord of the Great Snow Mountain Lineage. Given his current cultivation, even the collapse of heavens and earth would not disturb him; thus, it is extremely rare for him to become slightly enraged.
But even a Buddha can show an angry visage, and when the Bright King becomes wrathful, it can ignite the nine heavens.
Zheng Yi, at this moment, might not compare to King Aryaacalan, but he also needs an outlet to vent his inner anger. Since this karma has resurfaced, it surely has to be resolved one day.
Zheng Yi’s face showed no expression, yet his blood seemed to be burning. He would have never imagined that after leaving for merely a few decades, the Celestial Demon Army left as a contingency would face such terrifying dangers, with most of them perishing at the hands of the Flood Dragon Dynasty.
Such methods necessitate a resolution between the parties already bound by karma.
The celestial catastrophe starts from the heart, arising from grievances. Karma intertwines endlessly, and only by dissolving malicious intent can this greater resentment be resolved.
And Zheng Yi’s methods, naturally, are as thunderously formidable as they are earth-shattering.
"Good! Very good!"
"Since karma is so intertwined, whether it’s a victory or defeat, it will depend on the methods of both sides..."
After understanding the entire event, Zheng Yi remained very calm.
But beneath this calmness, he still suppresses the thunderous power ready to erupt at any moment.
The saying goes, ’Thunder and dew are both blessings from heaven; serene like a virgin, moving like thunder,’ capable of utterly destroying all enemies.
Naturally, Zheng Yi could not overlook this period of karma; there will always be a time to resolve it.
And now, the most important task is to summon the Celestial Demon Army back and rebuild Azure Waves Island.
However, this seemingly bland announcement surprisingly incited various forces across most of the East Origin Sea Region.
Accompanied by the announcement of the Isle Master Azure Waves’ summon order, higher-ups from various large and small forces left their original domains and headed toward the location of Azure Waves Island.
Until this moment, the forces across the East Origin Sea Region realized that the Top-Grade Golden Core who once held the upper hand in the battle against the Flood Dragon Demon Court had really returned, and did not die as rumored under the pursuit of the Flood Dragon Demon Court.
Moreover, he returned with great momentum, becoming the so-called Saint Master Daoist Lord of the Snow Mountain Spirit Realm, with Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators serving under him.
His own strength had long stepped into the Nascent Soul Stage, unfathomable, and no one knows to what extent.
Everyone who confirms the news immediately thinks that trouble for the Flood Dragon Demon Court has arrived.
After all, the karma and hatred between the two parties are well known across the East Origin Sea Region.
Zheng Yi has slain many Flood Dragons, and the forces he controlled were destroyed by the Flood Dragon Imperial Court.
One is a long-established force handed down through generations, the other is a rising star descending with the terrifying power of the Great Snow Mountain Lineage, both evenly matched. Clashing, it will not be easy to back down.
What surprises everyone even more is that even after decades of Zheng Yi’s absence, the forces he controlled still have such substantial latent strength.
Even enduring such hardships, nearly being completely annihilated, these forces never betrayed Zheng Yi.
Such methods of control naturally intimidate all other leaders.
Indeed, leaving for so many years yet able to manipulate hearts, it truly astonishes people.
Undeniably, this time Zheng Yi’s action of summoning the Celestial Demon Army once again demonstrated to the numerous forces in the East Origin Sea Region the formidable and immeasurable capabilities of this Isle Master Azure Waves.
The profound and powerful cohesion instilled fear in everyone’s hearts.
In just half a month, the Celestial Demon Army dispersed around the sea region returned to Azure Waves Island.
The Azure Waves Island of the past, stained with Flood Dragon’s blood, was long destroyed.
Over the years, with the Spirit Tide growing larger, and accompanied by the discovery of the true source, the legendary Ancient True Dragon Hall occasionally showing its outline, now the entire East Origin Sea Region is situated in the storm’s eye, causing subsequent shocks.
As the Flood Dragon Demon Court needed to intimidate outsiders, the ruins on Azure Waves Island stood firm, and no one dared to establish new forces here.
Gradually, this place was entirely vacated.
This is also the true aim of the Flood Dragon Imperial Court, invisibly declaring the terrifying consequences of offending the Flood Dragon Imperial Court.
Since Zheng Yi decided to rebuild Azure Waves Island, naturally he must make a big move for all to see.
And now, he has such Great Divine Techniques and Magical Power.
Moreover, his subordinates are talented and capable.
Make use of it while it lasts.
...
In mid-air, Zheng Yi stood on the shoulder of the Stone Spirit Giant. The towering Stone Spirit Giant, with hands as rugged and stout as mountain peaks, suddenly thrust them beneath the sea surface, instantly stirring a fierce upheaval of the stones beneath the ocean.
As a Stone Spirit Body with an innate Sacred Embryo, the Stone Spirit Giant possessed top-tier mastery over the Power of the Earth and various stones.
With his assistance, rebuilding the entire Azure Waves Island, or even creating an island by filling the sea, was a matter of moments.
Moments later, with surrounding waves surging, an island directly rose up, held together by a massive cohesive force, forming a whole as if naturally formed eons ago, like an invisible hand extended it straight out of the sea’s depths to a height of hundreds of meters.
Evidently, the Stone Spirit Giant’s capability was unaffected even below the ocean.
Of course, in reconstructing Azure Waves Island, Zheng Yi could not settle for mere reconstruction or filling the sea to create an island. Since this was the new emergence of Isle Master Azure Waves, it was a declaration to the world; thus, it required awe-inspiring grandeur.
A monumental project was needed.
According to Zheng Yi’s plan, it would be directly forged into an ascendant Suspended Island, floating over the East Origin Sea Region, enduring thousands upon thousands of years without falling.
This would prevent any small-time meddling in his Azure Waves Island affairs.
"Now it’s your turn!"
At Zheng Yi’s command, the four accompanying Venerables from Great Snow Mountain acted. They were Nascent Soul Stage magic cultivators proficient in various Secret Talismans and Array techniques, arranging arrays at various places on the ascending hundred-meter island.
Their methods were exceptionally advanced and their speed swift. Moments later, arrays were inscribed all over the island floating at the sea’s surface.
This time, Zheng Yi laid down the Array of Yin and Yang Life and Death Profound Magnet. This was an exotic treasure array he acquired from the Snow Mountain Treasure Vault, under the status of a Saint Master Daoist Lord, before leaving the Great Snow Mountain, which included a Yin and Yang Life and Death Xuan Magnetic Disc and a complete set of arrays.
Now that this place was suitable for refining the Suspended Island, Zheng Yi would not hold back.
If something was to be done, it had to be done grandly.
Combining the momentum carried across the Spirit Realm from the Great Snow Mountain, the first thing Zheng Yi did upon returning to the East Origin Sea Region was to create a Suspended Island.
After all, at this moment, the East Origin Sea Region had already become a boiling cauldron of mixed interests, with various forces eyeing eagerly as the Spiritual Qi tide reached its peak.
Eventually, the Ancient True Dragon Hall would emerge, likely drawing even Divinity Transformation Tier experts into a fierce struggle.
Not demonstrating strength at this moment would lead to more intense competition later.
No cultivator would hold back in the quest for True Dragon Qi.
Zheng Yi intended to set everything in place before the Ancient True Dragon Hall appeared.
Once the four Venerables returned beside him, Zheng Yi brought out a magnetic disc engraved with various runes and then hurled it towards the island below.
Instantly, the disc shot deep into the earth and was buried there.
In a split second, beams of light began to ascend; arrays laid out in various places started to converge and illuminate, a bright light drawing the island steadily into the sky. The surrounding sea was pulled along by this force, and the seawater began to ascend into the sky, forming a spectacular scene of hundreds of Dragon Absorbing Water phenomena.
As the island slowly ascended into the mid-air, the array undoubtedly became brighter, the radiant glow lighting up the entire sky as if the whole world were shrouded in this white light.
"Slash!"
An ethereal voice echoed in the sky, and suddenly, the island, which had ascended to a height of a thousand meters, was abruptly split in half by an invisible giant sword from below.
The side connected to the earth pressed down toward the sea, while the other side ascended in mid-air.
The waves became increasingly tumultuous, and the previously ascended seawater plummeted down with a howl, stirring up even greater waves.
As the light dissipated, a floating island appeared silently in the sky, evoking a majestic and awe-inspiring sense of wonder.
The derived island floated in mid-air like a mountain soaring through the sky. Such formidable means were not possessed by ordinary people. Even Nascent Soul Stage cultivators had never witnessed such a breathtaking scene, causing shock and horror among the spies dispatched by various forces.
The terrifying and extraordinarily awe-inspiring sensation made it feel as though icy seawater had been poured over their heads.
In the East Origin Sea Region, although Suspended Islands existed, capturing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, transforming the impossible into possible, and creating a Suspended Island from ruins as Zheng Yi did today, indeed brought an unprecedentedly terrifying shock to everyone.
Who could have thought that the kingly return of Isle Master Azure Waves, Zheng Yi, would use methods that time and again amazed the world?
Even the well-informed spies of the prominent forces were repeatedly shocked to the point of speechlessness.
...
After establishing Azure Waves Island directly into a Suspended Island, Zheng Yi did not stop directly; instead, he laid down an array on the island, the All Celestial Star Tribulation Thunder Array.
