Two Worlds: Demonic Cultivator with His Zombie Materials

The entire array harnesses the celestial bodies above as energy to activate the array.

It absorbs the power of the Heaven and Earth Thunder Tribulation, launching terrifying attacks on anyone or any powerful entity entering this area. Such tribulation thunder is inherently one of the most destructive and fearsome forces within Heaven and Earth Power. If a cultivator gets caught in it, it’s as if they’re undergoing a tribulation, relentlessly striking until they are charred to a crisp.

This tribulation thunder is so terrifying that few can escape from it.

Moreover, Zheng Yi directly connected the Thunder City, forcibly seized during the Great Snow Mountain Crossing the Nascent Soul Celestial Tribulation, to this array, transforming it into an energy system. Nine Nascent Soul Marks are directly engraved on the grand array, making the floating island appear to be shrouded in lightning.

The sky is filled with thick, dark clouds.

Looking around, one vaguely feels as if their very soul is being locked onto by lightning, with a deep sense of dread filling the heart, as if entering that area would result in unimaginably horrific attacks.

Not only that, after establishing the floating island, Zheng Yi directly decreed that no one may enter within a hundred miles of Azure Wave Island without permission, or they would face indiscriminate attacks from Azure Wave Island.

If anyone enters the array’s range without permission, they would be treated as invaders and would have to endure the tribulation thunder attacks on their own.

In less than a year, Zheng Yi, relying on the influence of the Great Snow Mountain and summoning numerous Celestial Demon Army members, rebuilt a more prosperous Azure Wave Island.

All the major forces in the East Origin Sea Region, upon learning of these events, felt an indescribable and oppressive feeling pressing on their hearts.

Everyone knows that Zheng Yi’s return would inevitably target the Flood Dragon Demon Court, but which forces would be involved, what means would be used, and when he would act remain completely unpredictable.

Moreover, the emergence of the Ancient True Dragon Hall has drawn the attention of all forces in the Profound Celestial Cultivation Realm, likely stirring up a colossal storm.

A presence as terrifying as Azure Wave Island re-establishing a major force in the East Origin Sea Region cannot be downplayed with mere words.

Especially the new forces surrounding Azure Wave Island, clouded in perpetual gloom, unable to express the deep-seated oppression within. Everyone knows the terrifying consequences of provoking this dreadful existence.

However, what also leaves all the forces dumbfounded or surprised is this.

Zheng Yi, coming with such high profile and momentum, reestablishes the Azure Wave Island lineage. Yet, the Deep Sea Flood Dragon Imperial Court, his arch-nemesis, remains silent, neither condemning the act nor launching an attack, nor is there any connection to these events.

This leaves many to speculate that the Flood Dragon Imperial Court is also secretly biding its time for a major move.

...

Half a month later, a figure suddenly appears outside Azure Wave Island, within a range of hundreds of miles. Moving swiftly as lightning, the figure streaks across the void, flashing by as it threatens to break into the Azure Wave Island’s alert range. Suddenly, the figure halts, hovering in mid-air.

The person stops precisely, just outside the warning line demarcated by the Isle Master of Azure Wave Island, looking up towards the island and Thunder City, appearing in the sky like a thunderous sun. A flicker of shock and awe crosses his eyes.

Having halted, spies from various surrounding forces immediately recognize this person at a glance.

It is none other than Profound Kun Zhenren.

Palace Master of Outer Sea Lighthearted Palace in the East Origin Sea Region, also reputed as the foremost of the Three Great Wandering Sages, and a Seventh Grade Golden Core Cultivator, now also a great cultivator in the Late Stage of the Golden Core, regarded as one of the most promising to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage in the East Origin Sea Region.

The subordinate force, Lighthearted Palace, is considered an overlord in its own right and a mainstay opposing the Flood Dragon Demon Court.

His greatest confidence has recently been unveiled, as he is the representative of celebrated Carefree Island, one of the Overseas Immortal Islands.

No one expected this formidable cultivator to visit Zheng Yi at Azure Wave Island alone, as no connection between them has ever been mentioned in the dossiers of all forces.

What many do not know is that decades ago, when Zheng Yi was still a Golden Core Cultivator, he once crossed paths with Profound Kun Zhenren in the Outer Sea Lighthearted Palace’s area.

Relying on this slight connection, Profound Kun Zhenren presents a visiting card, leading to a mutual exchange, causing Zheng Yi to agree to meet him.

After all, over this past year, numerous forces have been denied an audience with Zheng Yi, making the floating Azure Wave Island ever more mysterious.

And making even more people restless with curiosity.

Zheng Yi’s agreement to meet Profound Kun Zhenren was merely on a whim, also taking into account aspects regarding Carefree Island, one of the Overseas Immortal Islands.

To outsiders, though, it appears more like Carefree Island establishing ties with Zheng Yi’s Azure Wave Island, sparking much speculation with the impending emergence of the Ancient True Dragon Hall.

Considering Profound Kun Zhenren and Lighthearted Palace’s power, they count as a minor overlord, but their backing force, Carefree Island, is one of the most prestigious and established, housing ancient Nascent Soul Stage cultivators and a myriad of trump cards, rivaling legendary forces like Overseas Phoenix Cry Island.

Communicating like this with a top-tier Immortal Island like Zheng Yi cannot be perceived as a simple meet-and-greet for tea.

It indicates Carefree Island’s attention and equivalent treatment of Zheng Yi’s establishment of Azure Wave Island.

Thus, this news spreads, bringing tremendous shock to the entire East Origin Sea Region.

Nobody imagined that Carefree Island, one of the Overseas Immortal Islands, would regard Zheng Yi with such solemn respect.

Profound Kun Zhenren of Lighthearted Palace being a core member and representative of Carefree Island personally visits, and adheres to the rules set by Zheng Yi, not daring to intrude upon this area.

This news is even more shocking than the visit.

...

Profound Kun Zhenren didn’t care about the opinions from the outside, but his vigilant gaze swept over the thick clouds covering the Floating Island and the surging lightning power within.

The looming outline of Thunder City, the region shrouded like a shadow, gave him an inexplicable sense of dread.

As a cultivator at the late stage of Golden Core, he was not far from crossing the Nascent Soul Celestial Tribulation, and this visit to Zheng Yi was also with the intention of seeking guidance.

He naturally knew what kind of terrifying destructive nature lay in the thunderous flashes of lightning.

Even he could hardly bear it; Profound Kun Zhenren clearly felt that the power of these lightning glimmers, each strike was comparable to the power of the Core Formation stage.

The terrifying might and destructive aura of that Heaven and Earth Thunder Tribulation made him once again adjust Zheng Yi’s position in his heart.

He was very clear that what he saw before his eyes was merely what Zheng Yi was willing to let outsiders see, and the more terrifying power hidden behind was rooted deep beneath the sea’s surface.

Therefore, he found it unimaginable what kind of terrifying power this Golden Core upper grade cultivator he once met briefly, brought upon his return.

From the intel passed down from the Great Snow Mountain Spirit Realm, he had vaguely heard some information about Zheng Yi’s terrifying power as the Great Snow Mountain Daoist Lord, and his exalted status, which were all shocking to him.

It had even surpassed his realm of understanding.

Who could have thought that in merely a few decades, Zheng Yi, who was once hunted by the Flood Dragon Demon Court and ultimately forced to flee here, would return with such tremendous power and momentum?

It is said that his mount is far more powerful than ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators—a Holy Spirit Stone Embryo.

It is a terrifying existence born from Heaven and Earth’s will, with extraordinary combat power, and a mature Stone Man Holy Spirit, infinitely approaching the Divinity Transformation Tier existence.

In summary, the power Zheng Yi currently possessed was terrifyingly beyond imagination and already in a different league from him.

So, he came here only to pay his respects.

Dared not show any impudence.

Otherwise, this fearsome Daoist Lord of the Great Snow Mountain Lineage might crush him with a single slap if displeased.

Profound Kun Zhenren had seen Zheng Yi before, and upon meeting him again, was still stunned by the miracle he created.

The heavy clouds hovering overhead exerted an unimaginable terrible pressure on Profound Kun Zhenren; as a great cultivator nearing the Nascent Soul stage, he felt it more deeply than anyone else.

He also understood why the hundred-mile radius was turned into a forbidden zone, that everything Zheng Yi said was not in vain but a warning.

Because any cultivator entering here, under the interaction of heaven and earth, the Tribulation Thunder Array stimulates, the life forms within would suffer endless strikes from the thunder tribulation—how could ordinary cultivators withstand it?

Not to mention, if that terrifying Thunder City was drawn in, it would instantly turn into charcoal even for a Core Formation stage cultivator, with no chance of survival.

At the very least, Profound Kun Zhenren felt he could not withstand it.

"This array must be beyond the fifth tier, capable of annihilating ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators at least!"

Profound Kun Zhenren quietly felt this in his heart, standing outside the boundary, he called out loudly.

"Isle Master Azure Waves, disciple of Carefree Island, Lighthearted Palace’s Profound Kun is here to visit!"

The sonorous voice, empowered by magical power, pierced through the thick clouds, crossed the sea surface covered by the defensive barrier, spreading continuously and eventually echoed over the island.

"Hmm? Profound Kun Zhenren? Has he arrived?!"

Within the Floating Island, at its core, Zheng Yi slowly opened his eyes, the Bodhi Tree behind him swaying gently, and the Heaven-Cutting Vines dancing and twirling upon it.

His face was quite calm, with a slight smile emerging.

This notable figure had a brief encounter with him in the past.

Unexpectedly, due to the connection with Carefree Island, it was his invitation that he first received this time.

The path of cause and effect, interwoven and intertwined.

The law of fate runs through it all.

Indeed, it’s extraordinary; the higher the cultivation, the more one holds reverence in their heart.

At his current realm, he could feel it profoundly.
