In the No.1 Volcano to the south of the ruin, Bai and the rest were busy excavating the Molten Divine Crystal mine.
Meanwhile, Lin Huang rode on Thunder's back and headed to the Eastern Ocean in the east of the ruin.
According to the Eternity Fire's description, there was a lone island in the Eastern Ocean with a Buddhist Tower that had evolved into a god rule relic.
The Buddhist Tower controlled all the monsters in the entire Eastern Ocean.
Apart from subduing the Buddhist Tower, Lin Huang wanted to use it to lure the virtual god-level monsters in the Eastern Ocean to steal their spiritual energy to help the Nightmare Tapir break through his combat strength.
"There are almost 600 virtual god-level monsters in the Eastern Ocean. Close to 500 of them are just low-level Virtual Gods. Among the remaining 100, most of them are mid-level while only four of them are high-level." The Eternity Fire described the Eastern Ocean's situation along the way under Lin Huang's request.
"There are 600 virtual god-level monsters and only four of them are high-level. I wonder if the accumulated spiritual energy is enough for the Nightmare Tapir to elevate his combat strength."
As Thunder flew at full speed, Lin Huang finally arrived at the Eastern Ocean past 6 am the next morning.
Apart from the Nightmare Tapir, the Molten Lotus that he had just subdued came with him.
The main reason why he brought the Molten Lotus was that he was afraid it would interfere with Bai and the rest's mining operation at the bottom of the volcano.
The Buddhist Island was located in the middle of the Eastern Ocean. It was a small lone island.
After arriving at the Eastern Ocean, Thunder spent almost an hour to finally arrive at the area where the lone island was.
However, Lin Huang was puzzled when he saw the island below from far away.
"Isn't it a lone island? Why are there other islands around it? "
"Those around it aren't islands. They're sea kings that guard the islands." The Eternity Fire explained, "I've no idea why. They were just some ordinary sea monsters, but their bodies grew after they were put in the ruin. Some of them evolved into sea kings right away. I've no idea where they learned how to hide their life aura and disguise it as an island. "
Lin Huang thought to himself, 'So, they hid their life aura. No wonder I didn't sense any life aura when I checked with my Territory.'
At that moment, the Nightmare Tapir's dreamland had spread out, covering the island where the Buddha's Tower was and all the visible 'islands' around it.
Seeing that the Nightmare Tapir had entered battle mode, Lin Huang entered spectator mode immediately.
In the dreamland, over ten sea kings that were even larger than Buddhist Island seemed to have woken up from their dreams. They leaped out of the ocean one after another and attacked the Nightmare Tapir hovering in the air.
Among the sea kings, the one with the lowest combat strength was at Virtual God rank-5. The four high-level Virtual Gods that the Eternity Fire had mentioned were all present. There were two Virtual God rank-7s, one rank-8, and one rank-9.
All 14 sea kings entered a berserk state with bloodshot eyes.
At the sight of this, Lin Huang frowned slightly and looked at the Buddha's Pagoda on the lone island.
This pagoda looked no different from an ordinary pagoda building. It had a total of nine floors, but its total height was less than 100 meters.
From far away, the pagoda was pitch-black like an ancient building.
However, Lin Huang sensed faintly from some distance away that the pagoda was releasing a strange aura. It was a little similar to the God's Blood's Holy Power, but it was different. Compared to the Holy Power, this aura was more powerful and intimidating. It even had a strange feeling that one could not resist.
He instantly understood why the sea monsters would worship it as a totem.
If he had not borrowed the Nightmare Tapir's power to enter and was protected by the dreamland, he might have been intimidated and controlled if he had encountered it himself instead.
"It seems to have mastered a deterrence rule …" Lin Huang thought carefully about who he should give this god item to after subduing it.
On the other side, the Nightmare Tapir had killed the 14 god-level sea kings within an extremely short period of time. He killed each of them with a single slap.
One must know that although its combat strength was only on Virtual God rank-8, its grade was much higher than those sea kings.
Moreover, not only did it possess the Destructive Divine Mammoth's power in the dreamland, but it also possessed Nine-tailed Cat's space cutting ability. Naturally, it was a piece of cake for it to kill the Virtual God rank-9 sea kings that were on a rank higher.
The 14 Sea King Species that were killed in the Dream World also lost their vitality in the real world. They turned into 14 gigantic floating carcasses that floated on the surface of the ocean like 14 gigantic islands.
The 14 guardians died instantly, and the pagoda immediately realized that the guy before it that was only on Virtual God rank-8 was not easy to deal with.
The black pagoda turned golden at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye. Every millimeter from the top of the pagoda to the base was emitting a gentle golden glow.
Even Lin Huang, who was only a sliver of his consciousness, felt warm under the golden glow as if he was basking in the sun in winter. He wanted to enjoy the warmth and did not want to do anything else.
"Roar!!!"
A roar came out of nowhere, and Lin Huang snapped out of the strange state he was in earlier immediately.
He looked rather upset. Never had he thought that he would be affected under the dreamland's protection. He shifted his gaze to look at the Nightmare Tapir. It seemed like the Nightmare Tapir was not affected at all.
"That's amazing! As expected of the Nightmare Tapir!"
In reality, it was not that the Nightmare Tapir was not affected at all. The roar earlier was not to wake Lin Huang up, but to get rid of the abnormal state that it was in.
As soon as the abnormal state was removed, the Nightmare Tapir attacked directly without hesitation.
It disappeared from where it was and appeared above the pagoda in the next second.
Its eyes turned a golden color that had never been seen before.
Just when Lin Huang thought that was odd, he saw black chains growing on the surface of the pagoda.
"Is this a replication of the Shackle Serpent's sealing ability?!"
The golden pagoda could not stop shaking as if it was trying to break free from the seal. After a moment of futility, the pagoda changed its strategy decisively. Golden sparks began burning on the surface of the pagoda.
As soon as the sparks appeared, the speed at which the black chains were extending slowed down rapidly. Soon, they stagnated. As time went by, there were even signs of them retreating.
At that moment, the fur on the Nightmare Tapir's body seemed to be alive. They were like long whips that swept toward the pagoda.
The pagoda that could not move could only watch the countless fur wrap around it.
Lin Huang was even more confused to see that. Theoretically, the flames on the pagoda should have a burning effect. It was not a wise move for the Nightmare Tapir to wrap its fur around it.
However, Lin Huang's eyes were wide open in the next second.
The fur on the surface of the pagoda devoured the flames directly. Within the blink of an eye, the flames were getting smaller and smaller.
Without the suppression of the golden flames, the black chains came back again. They began growing like weeds after the rain.
The pagoda wanted to continue struggling, but the pagoda shook all of a sudden. All of its movements seemed to be slowed down by tens of times.
Although the slowing effect only lasted for a short two to three seconds, the speed of the black chains growing was not affected at all. Within the short two to three seconds, the Nightmare Tapir expanded rapidly and tied the entire pagoda up.
Within a short few seconds, the Nightmare Tapir used the Shackle Serpent's seal, the Divine Sun Tree's flame assimilation, and the Creation Clock's time deceleration. With the three abilities, it finally suppressed the pagoda.
Although the Divine Power in its body was suppressed to its limit, the pagoda was still struggling intensely in the chains.
Upon seeing that, the Nightmare Tapir turned the Shackle Serpent's chains into the shape of a bell and covered the entire pagoda. Subsequently, it slammed its claws.
Clang!
The heavy sound of the bell was like the morning bell of an ancient temple.
The pagoda that was covered by the chains could not stop shaking.
The Nightmare Tapir smirked and slammed its claws again and again.
Clang, clang, clang …
On the lone island, the distant bell rang continuously, echoing above the entire Eastern Ocean.
