226: Descendants of Poseidon

The moon set and the sun rose.

After repelling the finned monstrous fish, Lin Yang and his group spent several more hours before finally arriving at the continental coast without mishap.

This was mainly because various sea monsters constantly attacked their boats along the way.

It was clear that the creatures in this sea area were very unfriendly to them, these outsiders.

Fortunately, their group was strong enough; no matter how those sea creatures attacked, they all returned without success.

After landing on the continent.

Lin Yang and the others found that the Gods and Demons Burial Ground was different from what they had imagined; there was no Death Qi permeating it.

Instead, it was full of vitality, with clusters of ancient trees, a verdant green expanse, and a thin mist lingering between the mountains and seas, hazy and dreamlike, like a fairyland.

Everyone was stunned, not just their group, but also those who had landed on this ancient continent from other directions were equally astonished.

"Life and death in order, extreme sorrow turns to joy..."

Lin Yang whispered. As an ancient battlefield and a burial ground for countless ancient powerhouses, the Gods and Demons Burial Ground should have been filled with an unimaginable density of Death Qi.

But what appeared before them was a world teeming with vitality.

The only explanation was that those ancient gods and demons who died were too powerful.

After their deaths, their bodies did not decay into Corpse Qi; instead, they became a kind of "nutrient" that nourished this continent.

"There's an ancient remnant formation!"

After exploring the surroundings, the group discovered that on a cliff not far away, several teams had mysteriously disappeared one after another right under their noses.

Only strong spatial fluctuations were left behind.

"That should be an ancient teleportation array that leads directly to the deeper parts of the Gods and Demons Burial Ground. Taking it can save a lot of effort. Let's go too!"

Lin Yang and the others made a decisive move, following the previously departed teams and stepping onto the ancient teleportation array on the cliff.

Whoosh!

A moment later, intense spatial light enveloped them, and they departed from the continental coast.

It wasn't until after more than half an incense stick's time had passed that a light appeared ahead of Lin Yang and the others.

Then, the light flashed again.

The group was teleported to an unfamiliar ancient land.

According to their calculations, this teleportation...

They had penetrated at least seven to eight million li into the Gods and Demons Burial Ground!

If they were to explore normally, such a long distance would have taken them at least several days to complete.

But by utilizing the ancient teleportation array on that cliff, they instantly saved a large amount of time.

"Which way now?"

Lin Yang and his companions all looked at Yin Yang Jade Rabbit, whose familiarity with this place was clearly more than a cut above theirs.

At this moment, it was naturally most appropriate to listen to Yin Yang Jade Rabbit's opinion.

Yin Yang Jade Rabbit took out a strange black and white compass, which had two peculiar pointers that looked like a yin-yang sundial shrunk several times.

Then, she held up the black and white compass, joined two fingers together and held them vertically in front of her chest, muttering:

"Supreme Jade Rabbit, as swift as the law! Direction, appear!"

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Soon, the two pointers on the compass spun wildly.

After a long while, they stopped, then miraculously overlapped, pointing in a direction east-northeast.

"Over there, the Twin Gourds are in that direction!"

Yin Yang Jade Rabbit held the compass, leading the way according to the direction of the pointers.

Lin Yang and his group followed closely behind, observing the movements around them.

During this time, they encountered many unfamiliar faces.

They came from all corners of the world, with varying identities and cultivation levels.

But without exception, they were all people who came to the Gods and Demons Burial Ground to seek Opportunity.

Approximately half a day later.

Lin Yang and his group, guided by the compass in Yin Yang Jade Rabbit's hand, finally arrived at the periphery of an island in a lake.

It was an island shaped like a giant bird's nest, situated on a massive lake.

The lake was incredibly vast, with a radius exceeding three thousand li, a truly gigantic lake.

And the island within the lake was also extremely grand, comparable to an ancient divine mountain.

However, what made Lin Yang and the others' hair stand on end was the color of the lake water.

It was not clear and limpid, but a crimson red.

It was as if countless creatures' blood had accumulated there, and a faint red mist permeated the air, with a somewhat pungent smell.

Within that blood mist, dense array patterns faintly lit up, outlining a world-shocking grand formation that Sealed the blood-colored island in the center of the lake, preventing outsiders from entering.

"Kill!!!"

Around the lake, there were figures everywhere.

Many people had arrived here before Lin Yang and the others.

The shouts of battle shook the heavens, various creatures were clashing, figures flickered, all wanting to be the first to break into the island in the center of the lake.

Clearly, the matter of an Immortal Treasure hidden on the island in the center of the lake was not known only to Yin Yang Jade Rabbit.

"Wah ya ya! The Immortal Treasure of my Yin Yang Divine Hall, what are you commoners doing here to stir up trouble!"

Yin Yang Jade Rabbit hadn't expected the place where the Twin Gourds were lost to attract so many creatures to contend for them, and her bright, ruby-like eyes immediately widened.

"Why the rush? The Seal is loosening, perhaps soon, everyone will be able to enter."

Not everyone was fighting; some stayed in the distance to observe the battle, murmuring these words.

"The Immortal Treasure is mine!"

However, despite the earth-shattering shouts of battle, no one successfully passed through the Seal barrier surrounding the island in the center of the lake.

Instead, as more and more Cultivators bled to death there, the blood color in the lake grew even more intense.

Lin Yang and the others did not rush to move, but instead observed the situation.

They found that...

On the Seal barrier covering the island in the center of the lake, there were several obvious weak points.

Once the Seal was lifted, those weak points would surely be the first to open.

And at those weak nodal passages, several powerhouses were guarding, waiting for the Seal to open to rush into the island to search for treasures.

At one of the Seal nodes closest to the island in the center of the lake.

"All of you, get out! This place is for me alone!"

There was a tall, upright young man, his back to the crowd, clad in golden armor, radiating divine light like a great sun in the sky, holding a golden trident, with a waterfall of azure blue hair flowing, his voice cold and ruthless as he shouted.

"He is... the Descendant of the Sea God!"

The heroes were shocked. This was a pure-blooded Descendant of the Sea God, with the blood of an ancient god flowing within him. His strength was undoubtedly immense!

"You say you'll occupy it alone, and you will?" a Third Stage Great Emperor shouted.

"Die!"

The golden-armored young man roared, his blue hair flying, still with his back to the crowd. He merely raised his golden trident and gave it a slight shake.

With a boom, a golden light erupted from the trident, sweeping out like rolling waves. The Third Stage Great Emperor who had just spoken, along with a circle of people near him, instantly exploded, turning into clusters of blood mist that drifted away.

"Gulp..."

Upon seeing this, everyone was struck with horror and gasped, their eyes filled with terror.
