The giant octopus carcass floated on the surface of the sea.
Shen Tian stood upright with his sword in hand. His body looked extremely majestic in everyone's eyes.
Even though this was Qi Shaoxuan's second time seeing this sword technique, he was still amazed by it.
Not to mention that the others had never seen such a sword technique before. They were completely stunned.
This was the true peerless sword technique.
Compared to this sword art, the Emerald Blood Illuminating Vermilion of the Blue Sea Black Snake Clan was like child's play.
The difference was just too great!
"Divine Firmament Saint, can you give me this octopus's core?"
The White Prince of the Silver Octopus race looked at the giant octopus. His eyes shone brightly.
This octopus had a powerful bloodline. Even though it did not have any intelligence, it was still comparable to a Heavenly Venerable in battle.
To the White Prince, if he could absorb and refine its core, it would be of great help to increase his strength and even purify his bloodline.
The White Prince gazed at Shen Tian and took out five Sea God's Star Tears. "I am willing to exchange five Sea God's Star Tears for it."
Although the Sea God's Star Tears were precious, three were basically enough. After five, it was almost useless.
He might as well use them to exchange for this octopus's core. After all, this core was not very useful to others.
"Since Brother Bai needs it, just take it. No need to exchange Star Tears."
Shen Tian smiled and cut open the octopus's carcass with his sword. He dug out a huge Inner Core that was about ten feet in diameter.
Yeap, I feel like my Golden Core is normal now.
Shen Tian tossed the core to the White Prince and said, "The core is here. Brother Bai, you should keep the Star Tears!"
With that, Shen Tian looked at the core in the White Prince's hand with a faint smile.
I already have more than 200 Star Tears. Why would I care about your five Star Tears?
Seriously...
Of course, if you really want to give it to me, I will give you some face.
The White Prince was in the intelligence field. How many people in this field were not smart... Ahem, demon? No, that's not right.
Anyway, in terms of strength, the White Prince might not be ranked.
But in terms of character, haha, Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu are all younger brothers!
Young Master Bai put away the inner core and stuffed the five Star Tears into Shen Tian's hands. "Saint Son, you worked so hard to kill this octopus. How can I take all the benefits? Isn't that a little too unreasonable? "
With that, he took out another Star Tear and handed it to Qi Shaoxuan. "Brother Qi, you've worked hard to kill this octopus. Please accept this small token of my appreciation."
Young Master Bai only had 15 Sea God's Star Tears on him. He had given away six in one go, leaving him with nine.
However, to a certain extent, he had also gained the recognition of Shen Tian and Qi Shaoxuan.
After all, things like fate could only last longer with reciprocation.
If one were to blindly take advantage of others, their fate would quickly run out.
Yes, this was what Young Master Bai had heard from Li Yunfeng, and Li Yunfeng had heard it from Perfected Taiyi of the Celestial Master Sect.
Young Master Bai felt that Li Yunfeng was right. Since he had benefited from others, he had to repay them.
Otherwise, people would think that this little demoness didn't know how to behave herself.
…
"Brother Bai, you're … you're too polite!"
Since Young Master Bai was giving them to him so sincerely, Shen Tian couldn't reject his kind intentions.
His storage ring flashed, and the Jade Water Sword and the five Sea God's Star Tears returned to his ring.
Sigh, who said that the demons and humans in this world don't get along? Aren't we getting along quite well?
Shen Tian felt that the humans' prejudice against the demons was like a huge mountain that had to be moved away.
After the giant octopus was killed, the island in front of them was completely exposed to Shen Tian and the others.
It wasn't accurate to say that it was completely exposed. This was because the surface of the island was enveloped by a thick layer of chaotic aura, making it impossible to enter.
Only a small circle of beach around the island was exposed to the chaotic aura, and it was faintly discernible.
"It will probably take some time before we can enter the island. Let's wait for a while!
Shen Tian's wings flashed, and he instantly landed on the beach.
Qi Shaoxuan and the others followed Shen Tian's lead, so they naturally followed closely behind him.
After traveling for such a long time, everyone's Dharmic powers had been greatly depleted. They needed to rest now.
However, right at this moment, a rumbling noise came from the Primal Chaos shield above the island. Coincidentally, it opened at this moment.
"Brother Shen is indeed the Son of Providence. We just arrived at the island, and it already opened."
The White Prince was originally sitting on the Inner Core, his eight tentacles wrapped tightly around the Inner Core, preparing to refine and absorb it!
After all, generally speaking, the denser the chaotic aura on an island, the longer it would take for the aura barrier to open and close.
Sometimes, it was normal for the aura barrier to not open even after waiting for 10 days to half a month.
The White Prince was prepared to spend a few days to absorb the Inner Core and increase his strength before doing anything else.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to sit down, the layer of chaotic aura suddenly split open.
That was awkward.
"Wait for me, everyone, wait for me!"
The White Prince tried his best to absorb the Inner Core back into his body as he squeezed his way into the aura barrier.
He was not alone.
At that moment, the Sand Prince, the Xie Prince, the Wu Prince, and Ao Wu were all squeezing their way in with difficulty.
The pressure created by this chaotic aura barrier was far greater than that of the Sea God's Star Tears island. It was almost impossible to move forward.
Fortunately, Qi Shaoxuan and Shen Tian were clearing the way in front, reducing the pressure greatly. Otherwise, even if the island was open, they might not be able to enter.
...
Rumble!
Seeing that they were already halfway through the aura barrier, Yu Pianxian's expression suddenly changed. "No, it's dangerous!"
Upon hearing Yu Pianxian's words, the North Sea prodigies turned pale.
The aura barrier in the depths of the Chaotic Star Island domain had two modes. One was the official opening mode.
This mode was similar to the outer islands. A huge crack would appear on the entire aura barrier for seven to ten breaths of time.
Normally, such a long time was definitely enough for one to enter the island.
Even if one could not enter due to the pressure, one would definitely have enough time to escape unscathed.
However, the second mode, the "wave mode", was not so easy to fool. The so-called wave mode referred to the chaotic aura barrier's indirect ripples.
This kind of ripple would only last for two to three breaths of time. Usually, when one had just passed through half the aura barrier, it would start to heal.
When that happened, it would be extremely dangerous for one to be stuck in the middle. One could easily be completely engulfed by the chaotic aura!
Even the top prodigies would find it hard to react in time when faced with such a crisis.
Behind them, the crack leading to the outer island had already started to close.
In other words, their escape route had been completely sealed.
"Charge into the island at full speed! Don't look back!"
Shen Tian's expression darkened. The golden wings on his back suddenly erupted with a dazzling divine glow.
At that moment, he had already raised his speed to the maximum. In an instant, he turned into a beam of golden light.
At the same time, jade-green vines shot out from Shen Tian's body towards the group, binding them.
"Get in here!"
Shen Tian's hair turned golden in an instant. Golden flames burned around him as if he was made of gold. His strength and speed increased exponentially.
Swoosh!
Swoosh swoosh!
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
Many jade-green vines shot out, binding everyone and throwing them into the island.
Yu Pianxian had been thrown in.
Ao Wu had been thrown in.
The Xie Prince, the Sha Prince, and the Two-Headed Black Tortoise, Wu Wudi, had all been thrown in.
As for Qi Shaoxuan, who was extremely powerful and had successfully passed through the aura barrier with his own strength, he had only broken out in a cold sweat.
The White Prince was in the worst state. He had only just absorbed the huge inner core into his body.
The aura barrier had closed up, and the surging chaotic aura was chasing after him.
"Save me! I haven't lived enough yet! "
Master Bai's eight tentacles were waving crazily, like eight legs running.
Shen Tian sighed helplessly. His entire body turned into a shadow as he appeared in front of the White Prince and flung him out.
Meanwhile, the overwhelming chaotic aura had already rushed in front of Shen Tian, bringing with it a thick aura of death.
"These five Sea God's Star Tears are really a loss. I have to pay more later!"
Shen Tian smiled bitterly in his heart, but he did not stop flapping his wings.
If you want to keep my 50 kilograms of meat, this array is not enough!
Speed up!
The golden wings on his back turned into countless wings. Shen Tian's figure instantly passed through more than half of the crack. He was even faster than the chaotic aura behind him.
"Faster, faster!
"Don't stop, don't stop!
"Come on!"
Mermaid Princess Yu Pianxian stared at Shen Tian through the aura barrier.
If Shen Tian had not used the Divine Devouring Vine to throw her out, she would not have been able to escape in just three seconds.
As for the others, they were thinking the same thing as Yu Pianxian.
Apart from Qi Shaoxuan, who had already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, the others were still in the Jindan Period and Golden Body stage.
This kind of island deep in the Chaotic Star Island domain was too much for them. It would be fine if it opened normally, but once there was an accident, they would definitely die.
In that split second, Shen Tian had saved their lives!
...
"Brother Shen, please be alright!"
The White Prince's eight tentacles were all clenched tightly. He had given Shen Tian the Sea God's Star Tears previously because he wanted to ask for a favor.
But now, his respect for Shen Tian came from the bottom of his heart.
Although the five Sea God's Star Tears were precious, could they be more precious than his own life?
Not only had Shen Tian saved the White Prince's life, but he had also risked his life to save him in such a dangerous situation.
One had to know that the White Prince was much closer to the chaotic aura than the others. The danger that Shen Tian had put himself in to save him was also far greater than saving the others.
If something really happens to Brother Shen because he saved me, how am I going to live for the rest of my life? You must come back!
At that moment, the White Prince finally understood why the easygoing Li Yunfeng would be so passionate when talking about Shen Tian.
This human Saint had the charisma of a leader that made people believe in and revere him!
Not only was he handsome, but he also gave his companions a sense of security!
We must get through this!
Everyone was attacking with all their might, trying to stop the chaotic aura barrier from healing.
However, all of their attacks were instantly disintegrated and absorbed as soon as they landed within the chaotic energy.
The chaotic aura barrier did not stop for even a moment because of their attacks. Instead, it closed even faster as if it was angered.
Boom!
Just as Shen Tian was about to charge out of the aura barrier, the aura barrier suddenly accelerated and closed.
Shen Tian's figure was completely covered by the chaotic aura. Everyone could only see the surging chaotic aura. It looked desolate and tragic.
...
"No!!!"
The White Prince knelt on the ground and hammered the ground.
His originally refined and easygoing, scholarly face was now filled with hysterical unwillingness.
He felt extremely guilty. "How could this happen!? It was all to save me. If I had not fallen behind, Brother Shen would not have died! "
Ao Wu and the others' expressions were also extremely ugly. Although they were demons, they were intelligent and even more aware of the concept of gratitude than humans.
The Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian, had sacrificed his life to save them demons.
What kind of spirit was this? This was the spirit of sacrificing oneself to be a demon. It was a great love that made all demons weep.
In ancient times, there was a Buddha who cut off his own flesh to feed the eagles. Today, Brother Shen sacrificed himself to save demons. Touching, too touching!
This was a true human partner, a bridge of friendship between the demon race and the human race!
"From now on, I am willing to support Brother Shen's family.
"Brother Shen's father is my father. Brother Shen's brother is my elder brother. Brother Shen's wife is my... sister-in-law.
"In this life, I will carry forward Brother Shen's righteousness of sacrificing himself to be a demon. If I break this oath, let heaven and earth kill me."
The White Prince raised his four tentacles and swore to the heavens.
To cultivators who had embarked on the path of cultivation, oaths could not be casually made. This was especially so for cultivators who were in the Jindan Period and above. Almost all of them would come true.
Of course, it was only limited to oaths like "die a horrible death".
If you swore that you would treat your Dao partner well in the future, or you would ascend to the heavens, the Heavenly Dao would ignore you.
It might even automatically assume that you would die a horrible death.
All in all, the White Prince's oath was indeed sincere.
However, Yu Pianxian looked at the White Prince with some resentment. Shouldn't she be the one to make such an oath?
"From now on, I am also willing to support Brother Shen's family.
"Brother Shen's father is Pianxian's father. Brother Shen's brother is Pianxian's elder brother. Brother Shen's wife is Pianxian... Pianxian's elder sister.
"In this life, I will carry forward Brother Shen's righteousness of sacrificing himself to be a demon. If I break this oath, let heaven and earth kill me."
After making this oath, Mermaid Princess Yu Pianxian's face turned red.
The Two-Faced Black Tortoise Wu Wudi, the Seventh Dragon Prince Ao Wu, the Golden Divine Crab Xie Gongzi, and the Bloodthirsty Frenzied Shark Sha Wujing also raised their hands or pincers to make the oath.
"Me too."
"Me too."
"Me too."
"Me too."
Yeap, they did not repeat the oath again.
It was mainly because they felt that there was already enough water in Chaotic Star Island.
...
Just as Shen Xiao suddenly had a few more children, there was a sudden change in the chaotic aura barrier.
Suddenly, a strand of extremely dazzling jade green light shot out violently from within the chaotic energy, and it dazzled the world!
The chaotic aura that could not be shaken by thousands of spells and could even disintegrate Saint-level magic power was split open.
Yes, it was split open by a sword light!
That sword light was peerless, as if it had cut through time and space. Even the chaotic aura was split open.
This was a sword that everyone was very familiar with. Not long ago, they had seen Shen Tian use this sword technique.
Could it be?
In an instant, endless hope rose in everyone's hearts.
"Sky-Smashing Palm!"
An explosive shout resounded through the heavens and the earth, and it was like a thunderclap suddenly resounding on the ground.
White, green, black, red, and yellow rays of light shot out from the crack.
Following that, a pair of huge, five-colored palms stretched out from that crack and forcefully pushed open the chaotic aura barrier.
One could see that the chaotic aura barrier was churning violently, and it was rapidly corroding the five-colored palms.
However, the speed at which the five-colored palms were being corroded was much slower than normal Dharmic powers.
During this process, a dazzling golden figure had already flown out from that crack.
Yes, it was Shen Tian!
His face was a little pale, and the wings on his back were also a little dim. He must have expended a lot of energy trying to escape.
However, he had still managed to escape from the forbidden chaotic aura barrier. If news of this got out, it would shock the entire five regions.
After all, since ancient times, Chaotic Star Island had been publicly recognized as a forbidden place, and the chaotic aura was publicly recognized as the "aura of death."
It could disintegrate all types of energy, and even the Dharmic powers of a Sage would be instantly devoured.
However, Shen Tian's sword light and his Sanshou technique were actually able to tear apart the chaotic aura.
Although it was also quickly corroded by the chaotic aura, it lasted longer than the Immortal aura of a Sage.
What did this mean?
Could it be that the energy level in Shen Tian's body was already stronger than the Immortal aura and Dharmic powers of a Sage?
It was terrifying to think about!
...
"Brother Shen, are you alright?"
Everyone went forward and asked with concern.
However, Shen Tian stopped them and sat cross-legged on the beach. "Don't come over!"
As Shen Tian spoke, wisps of white and gray gas surrounded his body, emitting a forbidden aura.
Chaotic aura!
Shen Tian had actually been contaminated by the chaotic aura!
Everyone's hearts, which had just calmed down, immediately tensed up again.
One had to know that being invaded by the chaotic aura was even more dangerous than resisting it outside the body.
This was because it could disintegrate and devour all types of energy. No matter what method was used, there was no way to destroy it.
It would be fine if it was outside the body. At most, they could just avoid it.
However, if it invaded the body, it would contaminate the Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and even the soul.
One would be completely crippled, and it was even possible that their soul would be destroyed.
"Don't worry, this bit of chaotic aura can't do anything to me!"
Although Shen Tian's face was pale, he was not afraid at all.
This was because he realized that although a wisp of chaotic aura had invaded his body, it was not a big deal.
That wisp of chaotic aura was devouring the power of the Five Elements extraordinary items in his body and then maintaining a special balance with them.
Of course, this amount of devouring was extremely terrifying.
Just a small wisp of chaotic aura had actually devoured 30% of the Five Elements extraordinary items' power in his body. Its appetite was simply shocking.
However, Shen Tian realized that after devouring 30% of the Five Elements extraordinary items' power, this wisp of chaotic aura stopped causing trouble.
It coiled itself in Shen Tian's dantian, forming a small ball of air and not moving at all.
It was as if it had eaten its fill and was sleeping. It did not cause any trouble and did not care about anyone.
No matter how much Shen Tian tried to provoke it, there was no reaction at all.
"So I've invited a master to come to my door?"
Shen Tian felt aggrieved, which was rare for him.
His seven-foot body had actually been occupied by a wisp of chaotic aura.
What the hell is this? Who can I reason with?
...
Huff!
Shen Tian heaved a sigh of relief and slowly got up from the ground.
Seeing everyone's curious gazes, Shen Tian forced a smile and said, "It took me some effort to suppress it."
Everyone's expression became very complicated. They knew very well how terrifying the chaotic aura was. It was a terrifying energy that could disintegrate everything.
Even if Shen Tian could really suppress the chaotic aura in his body, he would definitely have to pay an unimaginable price for it.
If he was unlucky, he might even suffer a backlash in the future, and his life might even be in danger.
"Big Brother Shen Tian, don't worry. I will definitely ask Father to help you!"
Ao Wu clenched his fists. "Black Dragon Island has countless treasures. As long as Big Brother Shen Tian needs it, I will get it for you!"
Yu Pianxian also nodded. "Although the Mermaid Gods are not as rich as Black Dragon Island, Shen Lang has saved my life. If you need anything, just tell me."
The others also expressed that as long as Shen Tian asked, they were willing to do their best to help Shen Tian resist the chaotic aura.
Even Qi Shaoxuan reluctantly turned his head to the side and said that if Shen Tian needed it, he could teach him the other half of the Nirvana Immortal Imperial Sutra.
Yeap, his companions were just too passionate.
Even Shen Tian was a little embarrassed to ask them for a reward for saving his life.
Talking about relationships was indeed a waste of money.
...
"Don't worry, everyone. Although the chaotic aura has entered my body, my soul has not been infected."
Shen Tian smiled and said, "If I really have no choice, I can just give up this body and change to another one to cultivate in."
Hearing that, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
That's right. Although the Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian, was still in the Jindan Period, his battle prowess was astonishing.
Qi Shaoxuan was sure that Shen Tian's cultivation level during the Jindan Period was definitely not lower than his, given how big his Golden Core was.
If Shen Tian was willing, he should be able to break his core and form the Nascent Soul at any time.
And once he broke his core and formed the Nascent Soul, he could just find a suitable body to possess and be reborn.
It's just a pity that Brother Shen's body is gone. After all, there are only a few such treasured bodies in the entire five regions!
For a moment, everyone was a little dispirited. Even their anticipation for the treasure hunt was greatly reduced.
On the other hand, Shen Tian did not mind at all. In fact, he was even a little eager to try.
Under Shen Tian's lead, everyone started to explore the island.
It was worth mentioning that this island had been surrounded by dense chaotic aura for thousands of years. It seemed like no one had set foot on it before.
Extremely precious spirit herbs grew all over the island. In the outside world, they could basically attract the attention of Heavenly Venerables.
Some Sage herbs could even extend one's lifespan by hundreds of years. Even Tribulation Transcendence Sages would be tempted.
However, considering that Shen Tian's life was hanging by a thread, most of the spirit herbs were given to Shen Tian first.
No matter how polite Shen Tian was, the demons refused and insisted on giving them to Shen Tian.
Qi Shaoxuan was both envious and impressed. He had really brought glory to the human race.
Brother Shen, you are indeed my rival in this lifetime!
