Asura Continent

Two hours later, Chen Jianfei was gasping for breath as he sat on the ground. His complexion was so pale that it was hard to imagine. One could not even see a trace of blood, like an old man on his deathbed. In front of him, there was a charred corpse of a centipede. The corpse was thirty feet long and emitted white smoke. One could vaguely see the appearance of the centipede.

In order to kill the centipede, Chen Jianfei had used up all of the divine power in his body and used the most powerful electric power. Only then did he manage to kill the centipede. Chen Jianfei completely understood the strength of a Rank 5 Demonic Beast. Just now, if the spell he cast was a little slower, he would not have been able to leave this place alive.

After breathing for a while, Chen Jianfei regained much of his spiritual energy. In a flash, he arrived in front of the centipede, then he slapped the storage pouch on his waist and took out a long sword. With the long sword in hand, Chen Jianfei waved it toward the centipede. Flesh and blood flew everywhere as a fist-sized beast core appeared in his line of sight.

This beast core was a sky blue, sparkling and translucent like a blue jade. When the light shined on it, it emitted a faint light.

Chen Jianfei waved his hand and kept the beast core into his storage bag, then he spread out his spiritual sense to search for Lu Yang's location.

After searching for a while, Chen Jianfei was completely stunned. His eyes were full of surprise as he muttered to himself, "Impossible, it's impossible for him to hide his aura from me." He spread out his spirit sense again and carefully felt every move on the island. However, no matter how he searched, he still couldn't find any trace of Lu Yang. Lu Yang seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

Chen Jianfei's heart skipped a beat. When he killed the centipede, he was overjoyed, thinking that this harvest was not small. If Lu Yang ran away, even if he took the Rank 5 Demonic Beast's beast core back, he would think that this trip was in vain. Chen Jianfei roared in anger. He decided to dig until he found Lu Yang. Holding the magic staff in his hand, he quickly searched the surroundings.

Chen Jianfei took out a large amount of pills from his bag of holding to recover his spiritual energy. He began to frantically search. Whenever he met a demon beast, he would kill it. After an unknown amount of time, Chen Jianfei had finally killed countless demon beasts. He stood at the shore of the island, his clothes were stained with blood, and his eyes were filled with rage.

Chen Jianfei was truly infuriated. He had spent so much effort to find this place, what was it for? Wasn't it to kill Lu Yang and obtain his storage bag? However, when they were trying to kill the centipede, Lu Yang ran away right under his nose and even left the island. How was he supposed to find him?

Was he going to give up just like that?

Chen Jian gritted his teeth and used a spell to escape.

The surrounding islands were unimaginably numerous, one after the other. Chen Jianfei did not dare to go to the island where the Class 6 demonic beasts were active, especially the Class 6 flying demonic beasts. As long as he heard their angry roars, he would hide far away. Just like this, Chen Jianfei searched for the better part of a day, but still couldn't find Lu Yang's whereabouts. He sighed and decided to find a safe island to live on and wait for him.

Time passed day by day just like that. Every day, Chen Jianfei would release his spiritual sense to detect any nearby movements. He firmly believed that Lu Yang was around and it was very possible that he had set up a powerful array and hid inside it. Chen Jianfei refused to believe that Lu Yang could stay in the array forever, which took three years.

In these three years, Chen Jianfei did nothing. He hid in the forest like a statue. His appearance was much older than three years ago, and the determination in his eyes gradually faded after the passage of time. Finally, Chen Jianfei rejected the idea. He decided that Lu Yang must have run far away, or else the South Sea must have been killed by those powerful demon beasts.

Thinking of this, Chen Jianfei felt that there was no point in continuing to stay here. He sighed, and then with a flash, he disappeared into the sky.

An hour later, a figure rapidly approached. That figure circled around the island for a long time before finally appearing in front of Chen Jianfei. Chen Jianfei glanced at the surrounding islands, and frowned, "Did I really guess wrongly, that kid isn't hiding in the surroundings?"

Chen Jian refused to give up even though he flew back. He always felt that Lu Yang should be hiding in the vicinity and watching his every move. If that was really the case, Lu Yang would definitely find out after he left. Then, he would leave the formation and fly into the sky. Therefore, when Chen Jianfei wanted to return and catch them, he did not expect that there was not a single person around. Where would he go to find Lu Yang?

Chen Jianfei had no choice but to leave. However, when he left, he had set up a strong array on the nearby island. As long as the array was not broken, he would immediately know when Lu Yang flew over the island. Of course, Chen Jianfei did not think that Lu Yang was likely to appear. He believed that Lu Yang had died in the South China Sea, rather than escaping from under his nose.

Half a month later, Chen Jianfei had been guarding the southeastern part of the island for three days. There was also a huge island, and there were dense forests growing on this island. The trees in the forest were unusually thick, and even the thinnest one was as big as a few people. Strangely, on such an island, there were no powerful demonic beasts. The strongest demonic beasts were only at the third stage.

Lu Yang had been hiding here the entire time. He had set up a powerful formation around him. It was a formation that concealed one's aura. It did not have any offensive power, and its defensive power was also extremely weak. For example, Lu Yang was only a Foundation Establishment cultivator. As long as a Core Formation cultivator didn't get close, they wouldn't be able to find a formation on the island, and they wouldn't be able to find any cultivators in the formation.

Lu Yang's cultivation base was also two realms lower than Chen Jianfei, so logically speaking, Lu Yang should not be able to hide his aura from Chen Jianfei's eyes. Under normal circumstances, that was true. However, this Concealment Formation had a special effect. As long as the energy within the formation was maintained, it could hide one's aura two levels higher.

To Lu Yang, this was a perverted ability. With the Nine Mystical Jade Wall, he could continuously inject energy into the array formation. Even the powerful Chen Jianfei of the Nascent Soul Stage was unable to detect Lu Yang's tracks, but he was extremely sensitive, so he always felt that Lu Yang was nearby but did not know his exact location.

Lu Yang walked out of the array and coldly looked at the direction Chen Jianfei left in, killing intent flashed past his eyes.

A moment later, Lu Yang placed countless array stones around the island. He combined the array he grasped with each other and set up an extremely powerful hidden array. Lu Yang's spirit energy was inexhaustible, otherwise it would be impossible for him to set up such a powerful array with his current cultivation.

After completing this array formation, Lu Yang was surprised to discover that the energy input into the Nine Mystical Jade Wall slowed down. The energy within the Nine Mystical Jade Wall wasn't truly limitless. Rather, it was stored in the jade wall after absorbing a massive amount of energy, so that he could absorb it normally.

Currently, there was only one possibility: there was not much energy left in the jade wall.

Lu Yang's brows twitched as he tried to sense his surroundings. He realized that there were no volcanoes or icebergs nearby, and it was impossible to replenish the energy needed for the jade wall. Suddenly, Lu Yang thought of a place; the seabed. When he was young, he heard that the seabed was filled with treasures. If he could go to the seabed to investigate, he might even be able to find the nine attribute powers needed for the Nine Mystical Jade Wall.

Just like he said, Lu Yang was not a pretentious person. When he arrived at the island, he immediately dove into the sea. This was the first time Lu Yang entered the water. The water was cool and exceptionally comfortable and he quickly formed a spell. The next moment, a strong energy appeared around his body, blocking the water three inches away from him.

The pressure in the sea was very strong. This pressure was very similar to the pressure that cultivators used. The deeper they swam into the sea, the more pressure they would feel. When Lu Yang swam to a distance less than 30,000 feet away, the might emitted by the pressure was comparable to that of a Core Formation Stage cultivator. At this time, the surrounding fish also increased in number. Their appearances were all different, many different kinds.

Lu Yang wasn't in the mood to look at the fish. As long as there weren't any demon beasts nearing, he wouldn't care even if an enormous creature the size of a whale appeared. He didn't know if Lu Yang's luck was too good, or if he had a heaven's will behind him. He hadn't encountered a single demon beast on his way here. This made Lu Yang feel that the seabed wasn't as terrifying as he had imagined.

After swimming for a while, when they were about 40,000 feet under the sea, the surrounding pressure was already unbearable for Lu Yang. Lu Yang's brows twitched. Just as he wanted to give up trying to go deeper, he saw mountains not too far away. These mountains' shape was completely the opposite of that of the land.

Lu Yang used his Spiritual Sense and discovered that there were many coral reefs in the mountain range. These coral reefs were completely red and extremely beautiful, like ornaments of nature. There were many small fish swimming around the coral reef. Originally, Lu Yang had not put them to heart. However, after taking a closer look, he discovered that most of the fish were emitting faint spirit energy fluctuations.

No matter what kind of creature it was, as long as their body had spiritual power fluctuations, it meant that they had already half a foot into the world of cultivation. Fish were extremely difficult to cultivate, especially in the vast and endless ocean. If they were not born, then they were demon beasts. If they did not live in a place with especially dense spiritual energy, then they would never be able to cultivate successfully.

Lu Yang couldn't help but become curious. He observed from a distance and finally discovered a secret. These coral reefs contained a considerable amount of spirit energy. Every time the small fish swallowed a bit, there would be a bit more spirit energy inside them. As long as it was energy, as long as it was the power of the nine elements, the Nine Mystical Jade Wall would be able to absorb it.

With a thought, the Nine Mystical Jade Annulus within Lu Yang's body flew out with a swoosh. He caught it in his hand and threw it towards the coral reef. The Nine Mystical Jade Wall drew an arc in the ocean water and landed in the crevice of the coral reef. The surrounding fishes panicked and swam away, not a single one remaining in the blink of an eye.

However, the Nine Mystical Jade Wall didn't absorb the energy nearby on its own, as usual, which made Lu Yang very confused.

"Could I have guessed wrongly that there is no energy in this coral reef?" Lu Yang frowned and arrived in front of the coral reef in a flash. However, he discovered a shocking secret.
