Hei Huang arrived and first sniffed around with his dog nose, his eyes widening in surprise.
"What is this place? Did I come to the wrong spot?"
With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Hei Huang discovered numerous dangerous formations scattered everywhere, left behind by who knows whom.
Underground, there were countless landmines and explosives.
At the edge of the island, there were also the auras of two humans.
In the far distance, a Great Perfection Golden Core stage electric sea eel was roaring and charging towards them.
Hei Huang was completely bewildered. Would Xu Hei really choose such a place as a foothold?
Suddenly, a puppet inside the cave dwelling vanished, replaced by Xu Hei's figure, looking rather disheveled.
Xu Hei's face was grim as he recalled the recent encounter, feeling cold sweat all over, having narrowly escaped death.
If not for his Ever-changing Fish and Dragon technique that allowed him to bypass formations, and if he hadn't left a puppet in the cave dwelling, he might not have made it back.
Moreover, he seemed to have seen two familiar figures just now.
"Old dog, what's going on on this island?" Xu Hei shouted.
"How the hell should I know?" Hei Huang retorted angrily.
As they spoke, the giant sea eel outside leaped from the sea, its thunderous wings shaking as it charged towards Xu Hei's location.
"Vile beast, prepare to die!"
Lei Man's roar echoed across the island.
Suddenly, he collided with a formation, producing a bell-like sound that left him dizzy and seeing stars.
Immediately after, it felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, with gravity increasing sharply, nearly pinning him to the ground.
"Heh, there's still a formation left? Such a child's play can't trap me?"
Lei Man sneered inwardly. When he was learning to counter formations in the Penglai Sea, his opponent hadn't even been born yet.
Lei Man shouted, his body exploding with dazzling lightning, sweeping in all directions, causing thunderous roars, sending dust flying, and churning the sea, destroying large swathes of formations.
This resistance triggered countless Restrictions, setting off another wave of formations that exploded towards him.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
The continuous explosions left Lei Man charred all over, his blood and energy surging, with countless wind blades slicing across him, leaving scars.
Lei Man's eyes were red with anger.
"I'll swallow you alive!"
Though there were many third-tier formations, they posed no threat to him. As a Demon Core Stage sea beast, his Golden Core was already full, storing an unknown amount of true essence.
Outlast him? How many formations do you have that can exhaust him? Ridiculous!
"Vile beast, you can't escape!"
Lei Man gritted his teeth, a layer of thunder armor appearing on his body, like a thunder god descending, charging towards the depths of the island.
This scene left Han Te and Tianji Shangren dumbfounded from afar.
They weren't fools; it was clear that Lei Man was targeting Xu Hei. But their cave dwelling was also on this island, and if a battle broke out, they would be caught in the crossfire.
"This has nothing to do with me, you guys have fun, I'm out."
Without a second thought, Han Te decided to flee. His cave dwelling was valuable, but his life was more important, and this was clearly beyond his involvement.
He didn't flee immediately but first created an External Incarnation to scout ahead.
But as soon as his incarnation left the island and swam a short distance from the sea, a poisonous arrow suddenly shot from the water.
The arrow pierced his incarnation, which struggled briefly before dissolving into a puddle of spiritual liquid.
"Damn it! There are sea snakes here too!" Han Te's face turned dark.
These sea snakes were clearly targeting Xu Hei, surrounding the island to prevent escape.
Even he got caught in the crossfire!
"You guys fight, what does it have to do with me? I'm just a passerby!" Han Te shouted angrily at the sea.
Two more jets of poison shot towards him, and Han Te quickly dodged, his face turning as black as coal.
"You bastards, trying to drag me down with you? You won't get away with it!" Han Te fumed.
Tianji Shangren's face was even darker. Liu Buqun, Wang Qin, and Wang Ding were in his cave dwelling, which he had spent a fortune to build. How could it be destroyed?
"Vile beast, you're courting death!" Tianji Shangren's gaze was sinister as he formed a spell.
Xu Hei, hiding in the cave dwelling, also formed a spell, activating the nine-square grid killing formation, bombarding Lei Man outside.
The sea eel was surrounded by countless formations, with various booming sounds descending, wind blades, fireballs, thunder and lightning, underworld corpse dissolution, yellow spring devouring, Tai Chi divine light... all bombarding it, leaving it unable to approach, dazzled, enduring at least a thousand different attacks in just a moment!
The next second, another wave of destruction arrived, with thousands of destructive formations descending from the sky, each reaching the third tier.
Lei Man's expression finally changed.
Ten formations could be endured, a hundred could be barely managed, but how to withstand a thousand? Wasn't this exaggerated?
Was this the work of a snake?
"What kind of place is this, what kind of island is this?" Lei Man's face turned black.
As a Great Perfection Golden Core, ordinary third-tier formations were nothing to him, his true essence shield could block them, but so many piled together, was this something a human could do?
Even he, facing so many formations, would be skinned alive if not killed.
"No, I need to hide!"
Lei Man gritted his teeth, intending to burrow into the ground.
But as soon as he touched the ground, a white light suddenly lit up.
This white light wasn't just one or two, nor ten or a hundred, but thousands, densely packed, covering the island in a white glow.
At the same time, countless destructive waves crashed towards him, all the white lights converging here.
Lei Man let out a piercing scream.
"Boom!!" "Boom!!" "Boom!!" "Boom!!"...
The earth shook, tsunamis roared, the entire island trembled as if it would be blasted into the sky. If not for the numerous defensive formations left here, it would have been destroyed.
Attacks came from above and below, leaving no place to hide, with formations everywhere, rocks flying, dust rising, the tremors spreading for miles, even the fish in the sea fled in all directions, trying to escape this apocalyptic zone.
A scream came from the center of the island, quickly drowned out by more violent explosions.
Lei Man's protective true essence was shattered, his skin blasted open, his flesh torn apart, his bones charred black, with no part of his body unscathed, even his wings were blown off.
Normally, attacks that felt like a tickle, when multiplied by thousands, caused a qualitative change, even he couldn't withstand it, leaving him severely injured and on the brink of death.
"Damn, you guys made such a big fuss just to catch a fish?"
Hei Huang was dumbfounded.
He felt like he couldn't keep up with the pace of events.
