234: A global surge in spiritual energy has led to the discovery of a mysterious continent deep within the Pacific Ocean!

Rumble—!!!

The purple fire blade and that deep blue beam of destruction collided violently in mid-air!

This time, it was no longer a silent annihilation.

The collision of two extreme energies erupted into a terrifying mushroom cloud over a kilometer in diameter!

The violent energy shockwave formed a visible ring of air, forcing the sea surface within a ten-mile radius down by several meters!

However, at the center of that energy storm...

The purple fire blade paused only for a moment before forcefully splitting the destruction beam right down the middle with an overwhelming and matchless dominance!

Its momentum remained unabated!

Under the Deep Sea Devourer's gaze, filled with terror and despair, it slashed down fiercely upon its head!

"Puchi—"

There was no resistance whatsoever.

That massive sea beast's body, comparable to a small mountain, suddenly stiffened.

A faint line of blood spread from its single horn all the way to its tail fin.

In the next second...

Splash—!

Its body was neatly split into two halves and crashed into the sea, splashing up waves of blood.

A genuine Level 10 sea beast, fallen!

In mid-air, Luo Tianfei slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, flapped the fire wings on her back, and gracefully descended back onto the reef.

Behind her, a massive golden spirit source light orb emerged, which she unceremoniously absorbed.

The crimson battle armor on her body flashed with light, transforming back into her magnificent red dress once more.

She looked at Lu Sheng, raising her chin proudly, her pretty face flushed from the battle and written all over with the smugness of "hurry up and praise me."

She asked, "By the way, do you know where we are right now?"

Lu Sheng did not answer.

He walked slowly to the two massive chunks of the corpse still floating nearby and gave them a light wave of his right hand.

"myriad things furnace, activate."

Swish!

The mountain-sized sea beast corpse vanished into thin air.

[Ding! Smelting successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Top-grade spirit source crystal core x1!]

Having finished this, Lu Sheng turned around with satisfaction and honestly shook his head at the expectant Luo Tianfei.

"I don't know."

As Luo Tianfei's expression froze—a man and a woman trapped alone on a deserted island, one could guess what might happen next without even thinking.

Unhurriedly, Lu Sheng pulled out a black brick of a device from his storage space, its design simple and heavy with an industrial feel.

—A satellite phone.

He leisurely pressed the power button and grinned at the bewildered Luo Tianfei.

"However, I can make a phone call and ask."

Luo Tianfei: "???"

She stared at the satellite phone in Lu Sheng's hand, completely stunned.

Wait, dude, are you Doraemon?

How do you have everything?

Luo Tianfei was utterly dumbfounded.

Lu Sheng leisurely pulled up his contacts and found that familiar name—[Sea God Old General].

Then, he pressed the call button.

"Beep... beep... beep..."

A rhythmic dial tone, full of the feel of modern technology, rang out on the silent reef.

Luo Tianfei held her breath and leaned in expectantly.

Click.

The call connected.

An old, weary, yet pleasantly surprised and excited voice came through the phone's receiver.

"Hello?! Is... is this Commander-in-Chief Lu?!!"

It was the Sea God Old General's voice!

Hearing this familiar voice, Lu Sheng also felt a slight sense of relief.

It seemed this thing really worked.

"Old General, it's me," Lu Sheng's voice remained calm. "How is the situation over at Gongga Mountain?"

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief! Everything is well!" On the other end of the line, the Sea God Old General's voice trembled with excitement. "The Corpse Tide has been completely purged! The wounded have been properly settled! Everyone... is waiting for your return!"

"I can't return for the time being." Lu Sheng got straight to the point. "I need you to do me a favor. Use the space-based satellite network to immediately lock onto the coordinates of this number, then tell me the location information."

"Space-based Satellite Network?" The Old General paused for a moment before realizing. "Understood! I'll get right on it!"

The Old General's efficiency was extremely high; in less than a minute, the sound of keyboard tapping and various instruments beeping came from the other end.

After another two minutes, the Old General's voice rang out again, but this time, it was filled with shock and disbelief.

"Com... Commander-in-Chief... this... this is impossible!"

"The coordinates... the coordinates are completely outside our known map range!"

"According to the analysis of the satellite's final signal trajectory, you... you seem to have appeared out of thin air in an unmarked sea area in the center of the Pacific Ocean!"

The center of the Pacific?

Lu Sheng frowned slightly.

"Explain clearly."

"Yes!" The Old General took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and reported rapidly, "Commander-in-Chief, ever since you slew that Abyssal Corpse King, the global spirit source concentration has been skyrocketing at a terrifying speed!"

"According to our monitoring, the areas with the highest concentration have all appeared in the central regions of the five oceans! There... several giant unknown continents with diameters exceeding a thousand kilometers have emerged!"

"We have named them—Mysterious Continents!"

"And your coordinates are in the peripheral area of one of those Mysterious Continents!"

Mysterious Continents!

Upon hearing those words, the pupils of both Lu Sheng and the eavesdropping Luo Tianfei contracted simultaneously.

So that's how it is.

The so-called True Sea is not another dimension, nor is it some other world.

It is the ocean of the Blue Planet itself!

They are several special areas with the highest spirit source concentration and the greatest danger formed on this planet after the spirit source recovery!

"I understand." Lu Sheng's voice became somewhat solemn. "Old General, tell Zhou Hai and the others for me to focus on development and guard Gongga Mountain well. Wait for my return."

"Yes! Please take care of yourself, Commander-in-Chief!"

Lu Sheng said no more and hung up the phone.

He put away the satellite phone and looked up at the vast ocean that seemed calm but was actually surging with undercurrents, a glint of contemplation shining in his dark-golden vertical pupils.

The global spirit source surge, the appearance of Mysterious Continents in the center of the oceans... all of this indicated that the world was undergoing a violent transformation.

And they happened to have been thrown into the heart of this change by the Gatekeeper.

"It seems we're in trouble." Luo Tianfei looked at the endless deep blue in the distance, a rare trace of solemnity appearing on her haughty face.

A tenfold surge in spirit source concentration meant that the strength and ferocity of the sea beasts here would also skyrocket tenfold!

The Level 10 Deep Sea Devourer from just now was likely just a low-level mob at the bottom of the food chain here.

"Trouble?" Lu Sheng sneered, a flash of violent Battle Intent in his eyes. "I think it's an opportunity."

He licked his lips, looking at the ocean full of the unknown and danger as if looking at a massive, untapped treasure trove.

"Let's go. We'll pick a direction first and see what good things this so-called Mysterious Continent actually has."
