Chapter 160: Devil Island Dungeon

Shi Jian set off for Devil Island. Devil Island is within the Five Elements State, but it is also a border area. It is extremely far from the mainland. It also requires the use of complex giant teleportation arrays. "That place is extremely dangerous, containing great opportunities, but eighty percent of the people who go there every year die..." On a pale green teleportation array constructed from strange stones, an elder slowly warned the crowd. There were thousands of people on this teleportation array. These were all beings heading to Devil Island. Some were going to explore. And some major powers were escorting great fiends there. With a boom, runes flashed and the great array began to operate, paving a pale green light path. Shi Jian, mixed among the crowd, embarked on the journey to Devil Island. What was originally a several-month journey was shortened to a few hours. Shi Jian stepped out of the passage and looked up; the sky was gray and slightly oppressive. Devil Island, though it has the word 'island' in its name, is not in the sea or a swamp, but rather suspended in the Void Realm. It never falls. "Finally here, this is the legendary Devil Island, truly enormous, spanning hundreds of thousands of miles; I feel a mysterious power spreading..." "This will be my training ground for self-improvement; the path of the strong begins here..." Shi Jian heard whispers beside him, all spirited words from young people. They regarded Devil Island as a training ground. Shi Jian noticed that the people who came to Devil Island all had extraordinary auras. Their auras were restrained, like dormant fierce spirits. They were clearly strong individuals who had already ignited Divine Fire. A few young people were quite astonishing; at a glance, their talent was extraordinary, and they were protected by powerful attendants beside them. "It seems I came to the right place..." Shi Jian thought to himself. Even among a casual group of people coming to Devil Island, there were so many strong individuals. Then on this entire Devil Island, how many prodigies must there be? "Let's go, into the island..." Thousands of people walked towards the interior of the island; vegetation was sparse here, and it was perpetually shrouded in mist, with no sunlight. Devil Island is divided into two areas. One area is the prison zone. The other area is a natural Jedi. From Shi Jian's perspective, he could see that prison. It was a vast, dark expanse, all buildings cast from black gold mixed with various rare precious materials. Indestructible. Figures of the Dominator Realm had carved immortal formations here. Many powerful fiends were imprisoned here. Even Heavenly Gods! Many who committed grave errors within the Five Elements State would be imprisoned here, former strong individuals reduced to laborers, entering the underground to mine. That was a miserable life without daylight. Underneath Devil Island, there is a precious material containing the power of lightning. It can be refined into various lightning Dao treasures. It can also aid in cultivation. Deep within the Jedi is an Immortal Tomb. People from the Upper Realm have many conjectures about the origin of Devil Island. However, these conjectures are not accurate. Shi Jian, however, knows the origin of Devil Island. Deep within the Jedi of Devil Island is an entrance. An entrance leading to the Boundary Sea. This was a contingency left behind by an Immortal King Realm existence. To facilitate his return from the Boundary Sea. ***** Shi Jian found a corner, then sent a message in the group chat. [Shi Jian: "I am currently on Devil Island; there are many ancient mines here, containing quite a few rare precious materials... convenient for cultivating White Emperor Body and lightning Divine Ability!"] [Shi Jian: "Those interested, come and play..."] Upon hearing this, the people in the group chat responded one after another. [Xiao Yan: "No strange flames? Then I won't join the fun..."] [Meng Qi: "White Emperor Body? My Five Emperors True Body and my Dharma Body have undergone some strange changes, and I'm just worried about not having a place to test my Five Emperors Dharma Body, so I'm coming..."] [Yang Qi: "I'm coming too; I'm worried about my cultivation stagnating recently..."] [Luo Feng: "I won't come; I'm cultivating the Demonic Embryo Parasitic Art, striving to parasitize the Golden-Horned Beast as soon as possible!"] [Fang Han: "I am currently searching for the whereabouts of the Five Elements Land, so I won't come either. Once I find the Five Elements Land, you all can come to me. The Five Elements Land is the most suitable place for cultivating the Five Emperors Great Demonic Divine Ability, as it has countless Heaven And Earth Treasures related to the Five Elements..."] [Lin Dong: "I'm coming too..."] Shi Jian looked at the chat in the group; not everyone was interested in Devil Island. Only Meng Qi, Yang Qi, and Lin Dong wanted to come. Shi Jian approved the cross-world applications of these three one by one. The three crossed the World Gate and instantly appeared beside Shi Jian. "The density of this Heaven and Earth Essence Qi seems even richer than before..." As soon as they appeared, everyone felt the change in the world. Before, when they came, they all came to the Lower Realm. The Lower Realm cannot compare to the Upper Realm. There was a significant difference in the density of Heaven and Earth Origin Qi. Therefore, everyone immediately sensed it. "This is the Upper Realm... the Origin Qi density is naturally thicker than in the Lower Realm..." Shi Jian explained with a smile. "You ascended so quickly?" Yang Qi was surprised to hear this. Many people in the group are currently in worlds belonging to the Lower Realm. They can ascend. However, Shi Jian was the first to ascend. "You could say that!" Shi Jian rubbed his nose; his situation was still different from ascension. But it was similar enough. Both involved breaking through the Lower Realm and then going to the Upper Realm. "The environment here is a bit eerie... Devil Island, interesting..." Meng Qi curiously observed the surroundings. Devil Island was gloomy, without sunlight. One could tell at a glance that it was not a good place. Lin Dong was also intrigued. He kicked a nearby withered bone to pieces. "There must be frequent battles here... the bloodstains have never dried!" After hearing the others' words, Shi Jian explained: "Almost. Devil Island is, to some extent, a slaughterhouse. There are countless opportunities here..." "Strong individuals come here constantly to seek opportunities and temper themselves..." Shi Jian briefly explained the situation on Devil Island. Yang Qi and the others became even more excited upon hearing this. They liked places similar to a Shura field. The strong reign supreme! The few no longer wasted time, but instead delved into the mining area to search for ancient mines to enhance their White Emperor Body. ***** The ore here was exceptionally sturdy. And after entering the depths of the underground, it would also be tainted with curses. Normal people mining here would have to return to the surface and spend double the time cleansing themselves of the curses. Only then could they continue mining. Moreover, the intensity of the curse here was directly proportional to one's cultivation. Figures of the Dominator Realm would suffer the most intense curses upon arrival. It could even trigger Heaven's Weeping, causing blood tears to fall. Figures of the Dominator Realm would even perish. However, this curse was nothing to Shi Jian. Shi Jian and Yang Qi both cultivated the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength. And had already comprehended the Divine Holy power of Heaven. Once Divine Holy power emerged, what kind of curse wouldn't turn to ashes? "This place is simply a Holy Land for cultivating the Golden Emperor Body..." Meng Qi couldn't help but exclaim. The ore here was extraordinary; even the most common ore was incredibly hard and difficult to mine. Even strong individuals of the Venerable Realm found mining extremely strenuous. Meng Qi, Shi Jian, and the others, wielding the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash, could absorb the Five Elements Qi from these ores in an instant. Thereby enhancing their White Emperor Body. They didn't even need to specifically mine. The White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash could simply absorb the Five Elements Qi! "Cultivate steadily, first enhance the White Emperor Body here... then we'll delve deeper into the Jedi to seek opportunities..." Shi Jian made the arrangements. Subsequently, the few went to different ancient mines to cultivate. In this ancient mine, Shi Jian waved his left hand, and a massive force instantly penetrated all ores within several hundred meters, pulverizing them all. Then, the Geng Gold Qi contained within these ores was instantly absorbed by the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash. Others mined here. Even strong individuals of the Venerable Realm, holding specific tools, would take half a day to dig a small pit. But Shi Jian, with a casual strike, created a deep pit hundreds of meters long. Large quantities of ore were absorbed by him. Powerful Geng Gold Qi integrated into the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash! As Shi Jian cultivated, his White Emperor Body grew increasingly powerful. The aura of the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash also became more terrifying. Shi Jian casually flicked out a streak of white gold Protective Aura. The white gold Protective Aura shimmered and glowed, dazzling and eye-catching. "The power of the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash has advanced to another level... it has increased by at least ten percent compared to before!" Shi Jian muttered. Don't underestimate the ten percent increase in the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash's power. One must know that his White Emperor Body was probably the most advanced in the group. Before ascension, he had plundered the Divine materials of various immortal great sects, having already enhanced his White Emperor Body once early on. To increase by another ten percent on top of that foundation, the value is self-evident. "Geng Gold Qi, one step further is Geng Gold Divine Lightning... the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash carrying the power of Divine Lightning..." Shi Jian was deep in thought. He felt that he was not far from the Golden Emperor Qi's transformation. The Golden Emperor Qi transforms and evolves into Geng Gold Divine Lightning. And this Devil Island is precisely a paradise for lightning cultivators. Shi Jian felt that he could cultivate Geng Gold Divine Lightning on Devil Island. ***** The others had not evolved their White Emperor Body once like Shi Jian. Therefore, the ancient mines on Devil Island were extremely beneficial to them. Each of them absorbed Geng Gold Qi with great enthusiasm. Yang Qi, Meng Qi, and Lin Dong quickly raised their White Emperor Body by one realm. As Lin Dong was digging in the ancient mine, he suddenly unearthed a large piece of Divine material. It was a peculiar crystal. Crystal clear. Inside, a wisp of lightning was sealed, with dazzling electric light, as if frozen there! "Good stuff..." As soon as Lin Dong saw this item, he knew it was something good. He was about to put it away. However, this item was too special; even from afar, one could see the radiant light rising. A prison guard saw this radiant light and rushed over immediately. He happened to see Lin Dong putting the item away. "Kid? What did you just put away? Hand it over for me to see..." The prison guard, seeing Lin Dong alone and not sensing a powerful aura from him, immediately had an idea. Devil Island is jointly controlled by several super powerful forces. The strongest among them is the Undying Mountain. It largely dictates everything here. Half of the island's resources belong to the Undying Mountain. The prison guard felt that the Divine material Lin Dong put away was extraordinary. If he could present it, it would surely earn him appreciation and rewards from above. Such Divine material that could emit Divine light was definitely a treasure! Lin Dong, upon hearing his words, pointed at himself in disbelief. "Me?" The prison guard grew even more impatient, and with a whip glowing with dark light in his hand, he lashed out at Lin Dong! "It's you... I suspect you stole Divine material from my mining area..." The prison guard's voice trailed off mid-sentence. Lin Dong had instantly grabbed the whip in his hand and gave a gentle tug. The entire prison guard uncontrollably stumbled towards Lin Dong. Lin Dong instantly grabbed his neck. With a crunch, the prison guard's neck was twisted. "Damn it, I finally managed to cultivate obediently for once... I didn't look for trouble with you, but you came looking for trouble with me first..." Casually killing the prison guard, Lin Dong cast his gaze into the distance. That was also a mining area. There were many ancient mines. They had been mined for tens of thousands of years. There were a few particularly special mining mountains, from which radiant light could be felt even from afar. They contained extraordinary things. However, that area was not open to the public. Only Divine Rank strong individuals among the prisoners were allowed to mine there. "He said I took Divine material from the mining area, so wouldn't it be a bit rude if I didn't take it..." Lin Dong pondered a philosophical question, then took two steps forward. And then, another prison guard walked over. ***** Shi Jian activated the Dominator's Eye of his Dominator Body, his gaze penetrating the faint space to look into the depths of the underground. If he remembered correctly, there seemed to be a supreme treasure related to lightning here. In the rock layers deep within the mining area, Shi Jian's Dominator's Eye saw a cluster of light even more intense than the sun gushing forth. This was a rare and precious treasure. Shi Jian looked at other places, and everything underground was clear at a glance. All sorts of glowing Divine ores appeared before his eyes. All kinds of treasures, nowhere to hide. In addition to this, he also saw a figure heading towards the direction of that most precious treasure. "Is this... Yang Qi?" "Good fellow, he's really fast..." Shi Jian estimated that Yang Qi must have also condensed a Dominator Body. Possessing a Divine Eye. Therefore, he could also see through the underground. Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength was still too versatile. Shi Jian had almost absorbed all the Geng Gold Qi from the nearby mine and was about to move to another location. Suddenly, he heard a commotion outside. "How dare someone cause trouble for the Qin Clan here..." "More than that, that young man went on a killing spree, slaying dozens of Qin Clan strong individuals... the Qin Clan's experts are currently hunting him down!" Shi Jian frowned upon hearing the commotion, then quickly walked out. The Divine Eye activated. He saw terrifying auras spreading not far away! Upon seeing this, Shi Jian couldn't help but scratch his head. He heard a very familiar phrase from afar. "Great Desolate Imprisoning Heaven Finger!"
