500: The Tragic Island

The strength Chu Ying displayed now was undoubtedly shocking, allowing him to dominate even within the Great Saint Realm.

Among the three Great Saints of the Purple Flame Clan just now, two were at the Mid Stage Great Saint Realm!

And among the five Great Saints from Yin Yang Holy Land, only one was at the Mid Stage Great Saint Realm, with the other four being at the Early Stage Great Saint Realm, at most reaching the Peak of the Early Stage Great Saint Realm.

Otherwise, how could the three from the Purple Flame Clan have fought them to a standstill earlier? Even with the power of a Creation Saint Weapon.

This shows that Chu Ying's combat power is at least at the Late Stage Great Saint Realm.

He is naturally not as powerful as the most formidable Peerless Saint King, but looking at Origin Star today, at the Great Saint level, he can definitely walk unhindered.

If Chu Ying could be invited to Demon Transformation Island, then even if unexpected changes occurred, they would be able to handle them with more ease.

“Well…”

Chu Ying pondered for a moment; he hadn't originally planned to go to Demon Transformation Island. After all, Feng Yuan was still in the heaven mending stone space, which was because he and Feng Yuan had gone crazy for three days and three nights, tiring her out, so she was resting in the heaven mending stone's inner world.

Now that he had obtained this Creation Saint Weapon from the Purple Flame Clan, it was completely sufficient to return to the Void Spirit Realm and reforge the Seed Demon Sword.

However…

Chu Ying thought of Long Teng, the Young Clan Leader of the Dragon God Clan, who was still suppressed in his hands, and the ten Saint Weapons he had extorted hadn't arrived yet. Thinking this, there was no need to rush to reforge the Seed Demon Sword.

Although a Creation Saint Weapon is powerful and sufficient, its essence lies in Creation Divine Iron. However, the core material he planned to use to reforge the Seed Demon Sword—the seven-colored chaos stone—is equally strong as Creation Divine Iron, and it has the unique ability to merge all things.

Therefore, it would be better to wait for a while longer, collect a large and sufficient amount of weapon Materials, and then proceed with the reforging of the Seed Demon Sword to ensure nothing goes wrong.

After all, Chu Ying planned to reforge the Seed Demon Sword to a level no weaker than an supreme emperor weapon.

“Alright, then I’ll go take a look as well.”

Chu Ying's thoughts shifted, and he agreed. Since there was no rush to return to the Void Spirit Realm, a trip there was not out of the question; perhaps he could gain something else.

…

When Chu Ying and the Cultivators from Yin Yang Holy Land arrived at Demon Transformation Island, they found that the sea here had turned blood red, and the sky was a dim red, like thick blood.

Even severed limbs and broken arms floated in the seawater.

And the island floating in mid-air, emitting dark demonic energy, was a mess, dilapidated and ruined.

As for the Seals? Demonic energy? All were shattered, as if this place had already been destroyed by someone.

“What exactly happened?!”

Everyone's expressions changed.

Chu Ying frowned, his figure darting into Demon Transformation Island. He saw that the situation on the island was even more tragic, with large areas of Cultivator corpses remaining, some with their heads removed, others with their bodies torn in half, extremely bloody.

“There are still living people?!”

Suddenly, Chu Ying seemed to hear a faint breathing sound and quickly darted in one direction. Behind a huge rock, he saw a Half-Step Great Saint who was still clinging to life, or rather, hanging by his last breath.

The other party saw Chu Ying, surprised and delighted, but just as he was about to speak excitedly, that last trace of life seemed to be fading.

Seeing this, Chu Ying quickly took out a small white porcelain jade bottle containing undying divine spring.

After giving the Half-Step Great Saint some undying divine spring, this Half-Step Great Saint, who was on the verge of death, finally preserved a sliver of life.

“Demon… Gu Linyuan is still alive!”

“Gu Linyuan has appeared!”

The Half-Step Great Saint Elder said in horror. He was an Elder of the Eastern Continent Holy Palace, and in the great battle with the demon Gu Linyuan, he was easily severely wounded. If not for a life-saving item protecting his sliver of life, preventing his heart meridians from being completely severed, he would not have survived until now.

“What? Gu Linyuan?”

A Great Saint from Yin Yang Holy Land frowned, as if he had seen this name somewhere before.

“Seven hundred thousand years ago, in Central Province… the Demonic Son of the Yuhua Imperial Dynasty!”

The Half-Step Great Saint Elder spoke with difficulty.

“It's him!”

At this, the five Old Ancestor-level Great Saints of Yin Yang Holy Land were all greatly alarmed.

Great Saints only have a lifespan of ten thousand years, so how did he survive seventy thousand years? Is this the terror of a supreme demon?

“Quick… quick…”

At this moment, the Elder wanted to say something more, but a surge of demonic energy suddenly erupted from within his body.

“Not good, retreat!”

Chu Ying’s expression changed, and he shouted sternly.

The Elder's body was completely corroded by pure black demonic energy, and then it directly exploded!

He was clearly a Half-Step Great Saint on his last breath, but the damage caused by the explosion at this moment actually reached the terrifying Great Saint Realm!

A curtain of sword energy appeared in front of Chu Ying, blocking the shockwave damage from the explosion.

He retreated a few steps, his gaze solemn.

“A sinister demonic energy seed must have been planted inside this person, waiting for us to discover him, and then that demonic energy seed would suddenly erupt…”

Chu Ying couldn't help but feel a chill. The demon named “Gu Linyuan” was definitely a ruthless and brutal character. He had already broken the Seal and escaped, and he had killed so many powerful experts from various forces.

Yet, he could still leave such a method inside a dying Half-Step Great Saint.

Ruthless enough! Insanely ruthless!

Because they received Chu Ying's warning, the Great Saints of Yin Yang Holy Land also retreated immediately, and with Chu Ying blocking most of the explosion's impact, they didn't suffer any injuries.

Then, Chu Ying quickly investigated Demon Transformation Island and discovered one prison after another that had originally suppressed demons, but all were empty.

Before long, Chu Ying found his way to the underground of Demon Transformation Island.

The remaining demonic energy here was the most terrifying, and it was also of the same origin as the demonic energy that erupted from the Half-Step Great Saint earlier.

“It seems that the demon Gu Linyuan, from seventy thousand years ago, was suppressed here.”

Chu Ying's brows furrowed in solemnity. Just the residual demonic energy in this place gave him a chilling feeling.

After a careful search, he confirmed that there were no omissions, then turned and left.

“Chu Ying, did you find anything?”

A Great Saint from Yin Yang Holy Land asked.

“No, there are no demons left on Demon Transformation Island now.”

Chu Ying shook his head, and this was the most terrifying part, indicating that the strongest and most ancient demons had all broken free and escaped. It was likely that a large number of casualties would occur in the Endless Sea in the coming period.

“Alas!”

Upon hearing this, the Great Saint from Yin Yang Holy Land sighed, “Let's go search in other sea areas. Perhaps the Great Saint Realm battlefield isn't here. The experts led by Eastern Continent Holy Palace and Nine Heavens Holy Palace wouldn't fall so easily.”

Chu Ying said, “I have other matters, so I won't accompany you. Everyone, be careful.”

His trip to Demon Transformation Island, though the outcome was unexpected—he found no demons to kill nor any unexpected gains—he currently had no time to search for the escaped demons.

Moreover, that terrifying demon from seventy thousand years ago made even him feel fear, indicating that he was not a match for that demon right now. If he truly found him, it would likely be a crisis.

Why would he bother looking for trouble for himself?
