Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1370 583: The Mutation of No Return Island

Li Yunjing's hand controlling the Shenxiao Battleship suddenly trembled, nearly veering off course.

"Careful! That's a presence from the Land of the Nine Netherworld..."

Nine Netherworld Master's voice abruptly stopped.

Countless black tendrils emerged from the temple's base, plunging deep into the seabed, causing the entire Sea Region's waters to churn in reverse.

"This can't be!"

Feiyun Master was filled with disbelief, "I've never heard of anything strange here before! What's going on today?"

His words were cut off by a deep chant emanating from the temple, the voice seemed to come from ancient times, each syllable carrying a soul-shaking power.

Master Lei Ze's thunder-patterned spear spontaneously lit up with Thunder Light, but it suddenly dimmed when approaching within a hundred meters of the temple: "Something's wrong, this power... it's like some ancient Restriction has been unlocked!"

Before he could finish, the temple's roof tiles exploded with a bang, a pillar of light soared into the sky, within which translucent Runes appeared, forming a massive underwater map.

"That's..."

Water Moon Fairy's Moon Bracelet emitted a strong glow, pointing to a part of the map within the light pillar, "The 'Netherworld Trench' deep in the East Sea! It's said that an ancient Demon God is sealed there!"

Her voice carried an undeniable fear, "Could there be a gigantic secret here?"

"Never mind! Let's leave now!"

Cold sweat trickled down Li Yunjing's forehead, slipping into his collar, his hand controlling the battleship was already covered in blood veins.

The "Shenxiao Battleship" let out a whistle, shuddering in mid-air, and with the power of Instant Teleportation, appeared a hundred miles away from the temple.

At this moment, everyone stood on the rear deck, gazing toward the direction of the temple.

They saw the solitary temple surrounded, the seawater started boiling, countless bubbles rose from the seabed, within the bubbles, one could vaguely see skeletons and distorted human figures.

More terrifying was that those sunken reef fragments suddenly floated, circling the temple, forming a gigantic Array, seemingly about to start some dreadful ritual.

The "Shenxiao Battleship's" engine roared deafeningly, Li Yunjing gripped the control panel tightly, his knuckles white.

Though the battleship had sailed a hundred miles away, he could still feel the oppressive aura from the temple's direction, as if an invisible eye was piercing the Void, watching their every move.

"Don't relax!"

Master Lei Ze tightened his thunder-patterned spear, his eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings, "The temple's strangeness far exceeds imagination, who knows what unexpected changes might occur."

His voice was particularly grave amidst the howling sea wind.

"Fellow Daoist Lei Ze is right."

Feiyun Master's face was pale, still circulating Spiritual Energy to suppress his internal injuries, he nodded at this and said, "This anomaly at 'No Return Island' is likely just the beginning. That Netherworld Trench map..."

He paused, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes, "If the seal on the ancient Demon God truly loosens, the entire East Sea and even the Cultivation Realm will fall into catastrophe."

Water Moon Fairy gently touched her Moon Bracelet, the Moonshine on the bracelet's surface still trembling slightly, as if still shivering from the terrifying scene just now.

"But we're leaving just like this..."

She hesitated to speak, "If the 'Celestial Net Dao Sect' learns of this, they might seize the opportunity to..."

"Now's not the time for reckless action!"

Peak Master Alchemy Tripod interrupted her, coughing violently, a trace of fresh blood seeped from his lip, "We've been through a fierce battle, with severe depletion of Spiritual Power, if we get caught up in the turmoil of No Return Island, we're likely doomed. Returning to Shenxiao Island to assemble other forces and discuss strategies is the best course."

Li Yunjing remained silent, but his mind was racing with thoughts.

He knew what Peak Master Alchemy Tripod said was true, but the secret revealed in that temple was like a thorn in his heart.

Just as he was deep in thought, the battleship suddenly rocked violently, alarm sirens blaring piercingly.

"What's happening?"

Everyone's faces suddenly changed.

"There's an unidentified object tracking us!"

Li Yunjing stared at the detector, the screen densely packed with red dots approaching at an astounding speed.

On the sea surface, black ripples like giant pythons silently and swiftly headed toward the battleship.

Nine Netherworld Master's expression darkened, the Nether Ghost Claw quietly emerged: "They're pursuing from the direction of 'No Return Island', it seems we still haven't completely shaken them off..."

Before she could finish, dozens of strange fish, covered in spikes, suddenly shot out of the black ripples, their eyes glowing eerily green, opening their blood-red mouths, lunging straight at the battleship.

"Activate the defensive Array!"

Li Yunjing shouted, the Shenxiao Battleship radiated brilliant light, blocking the onslaught of strange fish.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The strange fish leaped from the water, frantically crashing against the battleship's defensive Array, their eerie green blood exploded in the sky and on the sea, corroding the Spiritual Energy barrier, sizzling loudly.

"These aren't living creatures!"

Nine Netherworld Master grasped at the air with the Nether Ghost Claw, tearing a strange fish in two, "They're Puppets condensed from the Nine Netherworld's foul aura!"

"Yunjing! Full speed ahead! We can't be stalled here!"

Master Lei Ze's thunder spear swept across, exploding into a burst of Thunder Light, vanquishing hundreds of strange fish into ashes.

But Master Lei Ze also dared not be careless.

This was only the beginning, who knows what terrible things might still emerge.

They feared both that something weird and formidable would emerge from the temple, and that Lu Tianluo might lead "Celestial Net Dao Sect's" reinforcements, surround and slaughter them all.

"Celestial Net Dao Sect" had dispatched thirty-six Nascent Soul Realm experts in this battle.

If so many truly came, "East Sea Alliance's" people would be swept away by "Celestial Net Dao Sect's" reinforcements just like the former four Nascent Soul Realm Masters of "Celestial Net Dao Sect".
