He had reaped most of the benefits he could.
Qin Shujian did not plan to stay in Heavenly Rune Island for too long.
He calculated the time.
It had been almost a month since he came out.
It had only been a few days since the imperial court broke the restrictions.
Qin Shujian was prepared to stay in the sea region for a long time. However, after knowing the dangers of the sea region, he no longer had such thoughts.
He could not go wild.
He had already gained a lot from the sea region. When he came, he was only at the second stage of the Sky Human Realm. When he left, he was already at the fourth stage of the Sky Human Realm.
Based on the current situation, Qin Shujian felt that his trip to the sea region had started off well.
Especially the 5,600 star acupoints in his body.
Qin Shujian felt that he should be able to kill ordinary Sky Human Realm cultivators with one punch.
Sky Human Realm cultivators were strong.
However, the gap between each stage was not small.
Qin Shujian's current strength, excluding domains, was not much weaker than a mighty figure.
If he was a mighty figure, it would not take much effort to kill a cultivator at the first stage of the Sky Human Realm.
Knowing that Qin Shujian was about to leave.
Xia Qun did not stop him.
Since he came from the outside world, it was understandable that he wanted to return.
However, in Xia Qun's opinion, crossing the sea region was too dangerous. Although Qin Shujian was strong, he might not be able to safely pass through.
On the contrary.
If he stayed in Heavenly Rune Island, he could increase the strength of the human race.
In the future, if the beasts attacked again, they would have more strength to deal with them.
However …
Xia Qun could see that Qin Shujian had made up his mind, so he did not stop him.
The two of them walked towards the periphery of Heavenly Rune Island.
Buzz!
A strange fluctuation suddenly appeared in the distance.
Qin Shujian and Xia Qun both stopped in their tracks at the same time.
At the same time.
The others on Heavenly Rune Island also noticed something strange.
The sky that should have been clear was covered by blood clouds. A monstrous slaughter was faintly discernible.
Xia Qun's expression was grave as he said, "A natural disaster!"
Heavenly Rune Island had existed for so many years and had encountered many natural disasters.
Even Xia Qun had encountered dozens of natural disasters in his years of existence.
However, the natural disasters that appeared varied in strength.
He was so strong that even the Celestial Beings didn't dare to face him. Even if he was a Spirit Martial Realm cultivator, he could still deal with him.
The natural disaster that appeared in front of his eyes.
In Xia Qun's opinion, they definitely belonged to the powerful group.
"Natural disaster?!"
Qin Shujian also looked at the blood clouds in the distant sky. The murderous aura emanating from them made his heart thump. Moreover, there was also a strange feeling.
He was certain.
The natural disaster that was brewing this time had definitely reached the level of the Celestial Being.
Furthermore, the calamity wasn't far from Heavenly Rune Island. It would definitely affect this place.
However …
For the time being, Qin Shujian had no plans to make a move.
That was because he wanted to see exactly what sort of trump card Heavenly Rune Island possessed to contend against the natural disaster.
This place had existed for countless years and had experienced countless natural disasters, but it was still safe and sound until now.
The foundation of Heavenly Rune Island.
It was not something that others could speculate about.
In Qin Shujian's opinion, the three clans were separated from the ancient times to preserve the bloodline of their race. Therefore, they should have some tricks up their sleeves.
Even if he made a breakthrough in his cultivation,
He didn't dare to underestimate Heavenly Rune Island in the slightest.
Even Qin Shujian wondered if Heavenly Rune Island could kill an Immortal if they used all their trump cards.
However, there were no Immortals in the world right now.
There were some things that Qin Shujian could only think about.
At this moment …
The appearance of the natural disaster also attracted the attention of the experts on Heavenly Rune Island.
The experts of the three sects appeared and stood in the air.
Five figures pressed down on the void. Although they didn't deliberately release their aura, it still made people feel reverence.
Celestial Being!
In the face of this natural disaster, the five Celestial Being experts of the three sects were alarmed.
Xia Qun looked at the figures above with envy in his eyes.
Celestial Being!
He was currently stuck at the peak of the Divine Martial Realm. If he had a chance to break through to the Celestial Being Realm, it would be a great thing.
If Xia Qun could break through to the Celestial Being Realm …
He would choose to leave Heavenly Rune Island and seek a higher realm outside.
After so many years …
It wasn't that there weren't any powerful cultivators on Heavenly Rune Island who wanted to leave the island and head to the vast world outside. However, not long after leaving the island, they died in the mouths of vicious beasts.
Over the years …
Some Celestial Beings had fallen.
This was also the reason why there weren't many Celestial Beings on Heavenly Rune Island.
There was no other way.
To be able to break through to the Celestial Being Realm, no matter where one was, one was a talented person.
The upper limit of Heavenly Rune Island was there. It was impossible to comprehend the laws of the Emperors. Therefore, there was almost no hope of breaking through to the fourth level of the Celestial Being Realm.
If one wanted to reach a higher realm, they had to go outside and leave the range of the Emperors' laws. Only then would they have a chance to succeed.
Therefore …
Some Celestial Being Realm cultivators were unwilling to stop here. They would leave Heavenly Rune Island, hoping to get a chance to break through.
It was just that this place was in the inner area of the sea. Moreover, it was deep in the inner area.
In terms of danger, it was difficult for Celestial Beings to protect themselves.
Especially Celestial Being Realm Qi and blood. In the eyes of vicious beasts, it was a delicious cake. Even if there was no Qi and blood lingering on the body, it would still attract Celestial Being vicious beasts.
In general …
His heart was quite big, but his strength was not enough.
Rumble!
As time passed, the blood clouds surged, covering an area of a thousand li.
A terrifying power overflowed, causing the vicious beasts in the sea to flee.
The natural disaster had no emotions and didn't differentiate between living beings.
Anything that was covered by the natural disaster was the target of a destructive blow.
A Celestial Being from the Fantasy Sea Sect shouted in a deep voice, "The natural disaster level is at least at the third level of the Celestial Being Realm. Activate the great formation!"
The other four Celestials looked at each other and nodded.
It was at least at the third level of the Celestial Being Realm.
It could also be higher than the third level of the Celestial Being Realm.
For a natural disaster of this level, if one was not careful, it could cause a lot of deaths and injuries.
The five Celestials stood in the positions of the five elements. Their hands formed seals, and a mysterious fluctuation spread throughout Heavenly Rune Island.
Next …
It was an oval-shaped shield that covered the entire Heavenly Rune Island.
"Defensive formation."
When he saw the oval-shaped shield, Qin Shujian's eyes flickered.
With his knowledge, he could see that the formation that appeared on Heavenly Rune Island was a pure defensive formation. Moreover, the formation was quite mysterious.
Qin Shujian looked at Xia Qun and asked, "Brother Xia, may I ask which expert set up the formation? Is he on the island now?"
"I don't know."
Xia Qun shook his head and said, "This formation has existed since ancient times. It is one of the true foundations of my Heavenly Rune Island. I heard that the Grand Ancestor said that this formation was set up by a Sage.
At its peak, it could even block the attacks of an Immortal.
Although the natural disaster before us is not small, it is still a little lacking if it wants to shake Heavenly Rune Island. "
A formation set up by a Sage.
Qin Shujian thought of the world opened by the three sects and fell into deep thought.
If the one who set up the formation was the same person, then the formation of Heavenly Rune Island was very old.
A formation that had existed for millions of years, protecting the entire Heavenly Rune Island. During that time, it had experienced natural disasters and attacks from ferocious beasts, but it had not been shaken at all.
This realm.
It made Qin Shujian yearn for it.
However, he was now at the second level of the Array Grandmaster Realm. If he wanted to break through to the third level, he would need a hundred billion lifeforce. As for a Sage, a conservative estimate would be ten trillion. Moreover, he could not be completely sure.
Ten trillion …
Qin Shujian decided not to think about these things. He turned his attention to the formation above him.
Activating the formation required a lot of energy.
According to Xia Qun, this formation could block the attacks of an Immortal at its peak. However, if he wanted to activate the formation to its peak, the energy consumption would be absolutely astonishing.
Given Heavenly Rune Island's foundation.
Even if it could support it, it would not be able to last for long.
However, this was only Qin Shujian's guess. There was no basis for it.
The formation activated and covered Heavenly Rune Island.
Some people who were panicking because of the natural disaster gradually calmed down.
Less than a quarter of an hour had passed.
The natural disaster had taken shape.
The blood clouds descended. Some of the ferocious beasts that could not escape in time were swallowed up.
"Roar!"
The ferocious beasts let out panicked roars. They wanted to escape but there was nothing they could do.
One after another, the ferocious beasts were caught by the invisible hand and thrown into the blood clouds.
"Roar!"
A huge ferocious beast that was hundreds of meters tall struggled to break free from the blood clouds and tried to escape into the distance. However, a blood-colored hand in the depths of the blood clouds grabbed the huge ferocious beast and pulled it back.
The ferocious beast whose strength was comparable to a Divine Martial Realm cultivator could not resist at all. In just a few breaths of time, it was caught and thrown into the blood clouds.
As more and more ferocious beasts were devoured.
The power of the blood clouds also became stronger and stronger.
The red color of the blood clouds became deeper and deeper. It was like a burning cloud of fire.
At this moment.
The blood clouds suddenly boiled. All the energy rapidly shrank and finally condensed into an arrow. As it shattered the void, it shot toward Heavenly Rune Island.
When he saw the blood arrow, Qin Shujian's expression became strange.
When the blood cloud appeared, he sensed a familiar aura from it.
Now that the blood arrow appeared, he finally understood what was going on with the natural disaster in front of him.
Blood clouds!
Blood arrow!
Qin Shujian's mind spun and he quickly figured out the crux of the matter. "The blood clouds should be a manifestation of the Red Lotus Of Purgation. However, the power of the sea does not seem to be able to completely recreate the Red Lotus Of Purgation.
As for the blood arrow, it should be a power imprint left behind when I used the Cosmos Bow to kill a ferocious beast.
In other words, the natural disaster in front of us is not a natural disaster. It is a natural disaster formed by my own power. "
Qin Shujian felt that this was a bit of a fantasy.
He knew that when he attacked in the sea, there would be a corresponding natural disaster sooner or later. However, he did not expect it to happen so quickly and so coincidentally on Heavenly Rune Island.
If everything was too coincidental.
Sometimes, it was not a coincidence.
Qin Shujian kept thinking.
At the same time.
The blood arrow shot over. The killing aura caused the faces of the devas on Heavenly Rune Island to change.
The five of them urged the formation with all their strength. They poured their Quintessential Essence into it, causing the oval-shaped barrier covering Heavenly Rune Island to become more solid.
Boom!
When the arrow landed, a terrifying power suddenly exploded.
The entire formation shook. The five of them groaned and took a step back. However, they managed to block the power of the natural disaster.
Before the others could recover from their shock, waves surged.
Waves surged around the Heavenly Rune Island. Several hundred tentacles rose from the sea and whipped towards the Heavenly Rune Island.
When the tentacles appeared, the sea suddenly surged.
The seawater suddenly rose as if the entire sea level had risen. Then, the seawater dispersed, revealing the black shell inside.
At the same time …
A huge fish leaped out of the sea and turned into a huge bird that was several thousand meters long. It charged toward Heavenly Rune Island.
"Not good! Ferocious beasts are attacking the island! Everyone, pay attention!"
A Celestial Being's expression changed drastically as he shouted sternly.
Then, he poured his Quintessential Essence into the formation.
The other four Celestials didn't dare to hesitate either. The five of them didn't hold back at all and poured all of their True Essence into the formation.
When the formation was strengthened …
The attack came.
Three devas attacked Heavenly Rune Island at the same time after the natural disaster. This was something that no one had expected.
The terrifying attack landed.
The entire Heavenly Rune Island trembled.
The formation protecting the island also trembled violently. Although it did not crack, it was clear from the expressions of the five devas that it was not easy to block this attack.
Boom!
A powerful aura erupted. Another three devas soared into the sky and joined the other five.
At this moment …
The eight devas of Heavenly Rune Island had all appeared.
Xia Qun looked at the ferocious beasts attacking Heavenly Rune Island with an ugly expression. "These bastards really know how to pick a time to attack Heavenly Rune Island right after the natural disaster."
Qin Shujian also looked at the three ferocious beasts.
It was a familiar giant octopus. But in terms of size and aura, it was much stronger than the giant octopus he encountered last time.
It was a tortoise that looked like a moving continent.
Finally, it was the huge bird that attacked Heavenly Rune Island.
Qin Shujian activated his Dharma Eye and the attributes of the three ferocious beasts appeared in his vision.
"Two at the third level of the Heaven Human Realm and one at the fourth level of the Heaven Human Realm!"
Seeing this, Qin Shujian was surprised.
The only one at the fourth level of the Heaven Human Realm was that huge tortoise.
After being in the sea for so long, this was the first time Qin Shujian encountered a beast at the fourth level of the Heaven Human Realm.
Taking advantage of the chaos …
Qin Shujian also took a look at the attributes of Heavenly Rune Island's eight devas.
Two were at the third level of the Heaven Human Realm, two were at the second level of the Heaven Human Realm, and four were at the first level of the Heaven Human Realm.
If such strength was placed in the world of cultivation, it would be considered very powerful.
However, it was hard to say who was stronger when facing the three ferocious beasts before them.
A white-clad middle-aged man at the third level of the Heaven Human Realm said with a grave expression, "The ferocious beasts are attacking the island. We cannot passively defend. Otherwise, the formation will consume too much energy. We have to think of a way to kill the ferocious beasts."
"I did not expect three ferocious beasts to attack today. The Kun King is very fast, but he is not strong. I can deal with him," another cultivator at the third level of the Heaven Human Realm said.
Heavenly Rune Island only had two cultivators at the third level of the Heaven Human Realm.
One was from the Illusion Sea Sect's human race, and the other was from the Saint God Sect's Fiend race.
The human cultivator at the third level of the Heaven Human Realm said, "The Zhang King is not weak. I can't guarantee that I can kill him, but holding him back should not be a problem. Right now, the most troublesome thing is that old tortoise. I did not expect that after sleeping for so many years, he would wake up now.
The three ferocious beasts before them were old enemies of Heavenly Rune Island.
They were very strong and had attacked Heavenly Rune Island many times.
If not for the fact that Heavenly Rune Island's cultivators were not strong enough, they would have killed the three ferocious beasts long ago.
The other Heaven Human Realm cultivators also had grave expressions.
Although the Kun King and the Zhang King were strong, it was not impossible to deal with them. However, that old tortoise at the fourth level of the Heaven Human Realm was the biggest problem.
Once it reached the fourth level of the Heaven Human Realm.
The ferocious beasts' strength would also undergo a transformation.
Although the ferocious beasts did not have intelligence, they could still rely on their instincts to come into contact with some laws. Furthermore, no matter how stupid the ferocious beasts were, they would not be completely stupid.
Or else …
The three ferocious beasts would not join forces to attack Heavenly Rune Island. Instead, they would fight on their own.
The Fiend Race's Heaven Human Realm cultivator said, "You and I will deal with the Kun King and the Zhang King first. The rest of you, protect the formation and prevent the old tortoise from breaking the formation and attacking Heavenly Rune Island."
"Alright!"
The human Heaven Human Realm cultivator did not object.
This was the best solution for now.
Heavenly Rune Island's formation was strong, but it also consumed a lot of energy.
After all, it was impossible for the formation's power to not have any source. If they wanted to unleash the formation's power, they, the Heaven Human Realm cultivators, were the source of power.
If they continued to defend passively …
They would definitely not be able to last as long as the three ferocious beasts.
They understood the principle of losing if they kept defending.
After the discussion …
The human Heaven Human Realm cultivator took a step forward and left the protection of Heavenly Rune Island's formation. A bronze longsword appeared in his hand as he charged towards the Zhang King.
The moment he attacked, the sword energy tore through the void.
Sensing the threat, the Zhang King stirred up endless waves in the sea. Powerful tentacles attacked the human Heaven Human Realm cultivator.
Swish!
The bronze longsword was abnormally sharp. It easily cut off one of the Zhang King's tentacles. However, compared to the Zhang King's innumerable tentacles, cutting off one tentacle was nothing.
While the Zhang King was in pain, he continued to attack the human Heaven Human Realm cultivator.
The human Heaven Human Realm cultivator took a step back, wanting to avoid the Zhang King's attack.
However, there were too many tentacles. It was impossible to completely avoid them.
The hundred-meter-long tentacle lashed out at the void, and the Protective Upstanding Qi suddenly exploded. The human Celestial was blasted backward. His body had just cracked a little, but he quickly recovered. Then, the bronze longsword bloomed with terrifying killing intent.
A great battle was about to break out.
Whether it was the Zhang King or the human Heaven Human Realm cultivator, every collision caused the void to crack.
Sometimes, tentacles would fall. Sometimes, the energy would shatter.
To the ferocious beasts, their goal was to kill the enemy. The moment they attacked, they would definitely use their killing moves. To the human Heaven Human Realm cultivator, the ferocious beasts were also targets to be killed.
Therefore, the moment the two exchanged blows, they entered a state of life and death.
At this moment …
The demon Heaven Human Realm cultivator did not dare to hesitate. The more ferocious beasts attacked the formation, the more energy it would consume.
The demon Heaven Human Realm cultivator revealed his true form. He transformed into a golden-winged Roc and charged towards the Kun King.
Seeing this …
Qin Shujian also understood why the demon Heaven Human Realm cultivator was so confident in dealing with the Kun King.
The Golden-winged Roc was one of the fastest creatures in the Demon Clan. It was also one of the most powerful races in the Demon Clan.
However …
The golden-winged Roc had long gone extinct. Qin Shujian only knew that such a powerful demon race once existed from some ancient books.
Now that he saw the true form of the demon Heaven Human Realm cultivator …
Qin Shujian suspected that the golden-winged Roc on Heavenly Rune Island should be the last bloodline of this race.
The Kun King was very fast.
The demon Heaven Human Realm cultivator was also very fast.
The two of them were fighting in the sky. Their wings flapped, and biting cold astral winds swept in all directions.
Xia Qun's expression was solemn. He looked at Qin Shujian and said, "Brother Qin, this time, the ferocious beasts are attacking Heavenly Rune Island. I hope you can help out a little."
Qin Shujian had just arrived and instantly killed the Azure King.
In Xia Qun's opinion, this strength was already shocking.
If the other party could help, he might not be able to resolve the crisis of Heavenly Rune Island, but at least it would ease the situation by a lot.
Hearing this …
Qin Shujian said calmly, "Brother Xia, don't worry. Since I have received the favor of Heavenly Rune Island, there is naturally no reason for me to stand by and do nothing."
After saying that …
He took a step forward and left the range of Heavenly Rune Island.
Currently, six celestials were maintaining the formation. The fourth-stage Heaven Human Realm old turtle was constantly bombarding the formation, wanting to step into Heavenly Rune Island.
This battle attracted the attention of all the living beings on Heavenly Rune Island.
When Qin Shujian appeared outside Heavenly Rune Island, he immediately attracted the attention of others.
"Who is that? Why did he leave Heavenly Rune Island at this time?"
"He looks like a human. Is he not afraid of death?"
"Quickly call him back!"
Some of the living beings' expressions changed slightly. As for the human experts, they were flustered and exasperated when they saw this.
They did not recognize Qin Shujian.
They only knew that he was a human.
Now that Heavenly Rune Island was surrounded by ferocious beasts, what would it be other than courting death if he walked out at this time?
However …
Not everyone did not recognize Qin Shujian.
Some of them had personally witnessed the scene of Qin Shujian killing the Azure King.
Therefore, when Qin Shujian appeared, they were immediately delighted.
"That's a foreign expert. A few days ago, he personally killed the Azure King!"
"I saw him attack. He killed the Azure King with a single arrow. In terms of strength, I'm afraid he's much weaker than the Golden Roc King and the Illusion God King!"
The Golden Roc King was the third-stage Heaven Human expert of the demon race.
The Illusion God King was the third-stage Heaven Human expert of the human race.
When some people heard this, they immediately let out a sigh of relief.
The news of the Azure King's death had already spread throughout Heavenly Rune Island. Almost everyone knew that a foreign expert had entered Heavenly Rune Island and killed the Azure King.
However, there were only a few people who had truly seen Qin Shujian.
In this situation …
Having the help of another expert was a fortunate thing for Heavenly Rune Island.
On the other side …
Qin Shujian did not pay attention to the commotion on Heavenly Rune Island. His gaze was completely focused on the old turtle in front of him.
A fourth-stage Heaven Human ferocious beast!
It was the strongest ferocious beast he had encountered so far.
When Qin Shujian appeared, the old turtle no longer attacked Heavenly Rune Island.
The old tortoise also stopped attacking Heavenly Pattern Island. Its huge, pitch-black eyes stared coldly at the person who suddenly appeared.
Ferocious beasts were born with sharp intuition.
The ant-like Qin Shujian in front of it made the old turtle feel a strong sense of threat.
After a short moment of silence …
The old turtle suddenly attacked. The surrounding seawater suddenly moved, turning into thousands of sharp arrows that tore through the void and tried to devour Qin Shujian.
"Come at me. Today, let me see how strong a fourth-stage Heaven Human ferocious beast is!"
Qin Shujian revealed a cold smile on his face.
After coming out of the world of nothingness, he did not have the chance to display his true strength.
The old turtle in front of him …
It was the best target for him to test his strength after breaking through.
Qin Shujian took a step forward.
Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth!
His several thousand zhang tall body stood proudly in the sea.
