Super Insane Doctor of the Goddess Chapter 3484: Mutation!

A considerable amount of time passed.

The intense radiance and surges of energy that had dominated the atmosphere extending across tens of thousands of miles finally began to fade. It was clearly visible that the sky and the void, spanning this massive expanse, had been shattered and torn asunder by the sheer force of the explosion. The vast ocean, too, lay in ruin, its waters churning in a way that defied natural healing for the foreseeable future.

"Huff... Huff..."

Yang Luo and his companions hovered in the heavens, their breaths coming in ragged gasps. Every one of them was covered in wounds, their garments soaked through with crimson blood. Yang Luo, Jian Zixu, and Jian Yanjin, in particular, had suffered the most grave injuries, with skin shredded and blood seeping steadily from their battered frames.

"To hell with it!"

Bujie spat a mouthful of sanguine fluid onto the air and cursed, "That old wretch is just as slippery as that ancient swordsman we faced earlier! The moment he realized he was outmatched, he fled—and he certainly didn't lack speed!"

Xu Ying released a sharp, labored exhale, muttering, "There was no other choice. That old fox possessed overwhelming might; ending his life was a feat far beyond our reach."

Those present felt a pang of lingering regret, yet they remained acutely aware that without the intervention of Yang Luo, Jian Zixu, and Jian Yanjin, they would have stood no chance against the likes of Chou Qianren.

Yang Luo pulled in several deep breaths and bellowed, "Brothers and Elders, I offer each of you my deepest gratitude for banding together to turn back this invasion! Although that scoundrel Chou Qianren managed to escape, we have successfully obliterated over seven thousand of their soldiers! Let no one amongst you fall into despair; this engagement remains a monumental victory for our cause!"

"Brother Yang speaks true! We thinned their ranks by seven thousand, a total conquest indeed!"

"The Yang Immortal is being far too modest. Had it not been for your leadership, we would have been defenseless against such foes!"

"Indeed! Yang Immortal, you faced an Immortal Venerable on your own and fought alongside Elders Zi Xu and Yan Jin to grievously wound that monster. Your prowess is truly worthy of our awe!"

The assembly shouted their approval, looking toward Yang Luo with gazes burning with fervent reverence.

Yang Luo offered a curt nod before declaring, "Take heart! Once I ascend to the rank of Immortal Venerable, I shall personally hunt down Jian Chensha and Chou Qianren and deal with those two ancient menaces!"

A silent oath solidified in his heart: he would accelerate his path toward the Immortal Venerable realm by any means necessary. Should he cross paths with Jian Chensha and Chou Qianren again, he would reconcile both the old debts and these new transgressions, ensuring their total destruction.

"Brother Yang, we hold total faith in your ascent!"

"Little Luo, we await the day you step into the Immortal Venerable realm!"

"Yang Immortal, from this day forth, nothing shall hinder your rise!"

The crowd cheered, brandishing their arms in a display of intense and soaring morale.

Yang Luo gave a heavy nod and commanded, "Let us move to inspect the site of the Yu Emperor!"

"Understood!"

The group voiced their compliance, trailing behind Yang Luo as they ventured toward the horizon.

More than a hundred islands had emerged from the expanse of the sea in the distance. Even though every single island lay in a state of wreckage, defined by shattered bricks and scattered ruins, it was obvious to all who looked that the Yu Emperor Palace must have once stood as a marvel of magnificence.

At that very moment, the rusted figures of giants held up both the heavens and the sea. A corroded axe and a stone seal hovered in the air, orbiting the giants. The hundred-plus islands were arranged around this core, glittering like stars in the night.

The central island was the most imposing—massive enough to rival any ancient capital—and was dominated by a titanic, crumbling palace. Encircling this primary island were twelve smaller, yet significant, landmasses, each centered upon its own towering, ruined palace.

As they drew closer, they felt the presence of dense, swirling Qi and the fragrant aroma of rare medicinal herbs. They noticed that many of the islands were carpeted in various types of Spiritual Grass and Spiritual Medicine, scattered throughout with untold natural treasures, armaments, and Dharma artifacts.

"How curious. Is it not written that the Yu Emperor site contained 365 islands, aligned to the motion of the stars? Why has this number dwindled to just over a hundred?" someone pondered aloud.

Jian Zixu released a long, heavy sigh. "Legend claims that in ages long gone, the Yu Emperor Palace was unmatched in its splendor, reigning as a supreme force within the Jiuzhou Immortal Domain and celebrated throughout the myriad worlds. However, during that great cataclysm that engulfed the myriad worlds over a thousand years ago, Emperor Yu led the entirety of his palace to meet a formidable opponent. They suffered catastrophic losses, which led to the total ruin of the Yu Emperor Palace. Perhaps the remaining islands were simply wiped from existence, leaving only these hundred-plus remnants."

"That structure on the main island—that must be the Yu Emperor Palace itself?" Yi Pingsheng questioned.

Jian Zixu nodded in confirmation, "I suspect so."

"Then why do the twelve surrounding islands also house such grand palaces, each lacking nothing in scale compared to the primary one?" Yang Luo asked.

Jian Yanjin fell into short contemplation before suggesting, "It is said that twelve ministers served under Emperor Yu. These foundations must surely be the individual dojos for those twelve ministers!"

"I see," Yang Luo and his companions replied, gaining a newfound understanding.

Soon enough, they hovered above the central island, drawing near to the giants and the drifting, rusted axe and stone seal.

Bujie chuckled with delight. "These three weapons and Dharma artifacts surely represent the legacy of Emperor Yu! Do not even think about competing with me for them!"

Without a moment to spare, he surged forward, darting toward the artifacts.

"Who claimed they were yours? These belong to whoever happens to snatch them first!"

"Quite right! We would never dream of letting such legendary treasures slip through our fingers!"

"Brothers, let us move as one!"

Ning Jianfeng, Yan Juefeng, and Yun Longxiang propelled themselves forward with palpable excitement.

"Stand down!"

"Wait!"

Jian Zixu and Jian Yanjin issued sharp warnings, but their voices were ultimately too late.

The very moment Bujie and the others closed the distance, the heavens trembled.

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

The giants supporting the firmament shook with violent intensity. The axe and stone seal, vibrating in sympathy, began to shiver violently. Even the hundred-plus islands surrounding them joined in this chaotic, synchronized shaking!

In a heartbeat, the earth groaned and the ocean turned into a swirling vortex, as an earthquake and tsunami of unimaginable force erupted throughout the region!

Yang Luo gasped, suddenly feeling the overwhelming, primeval Emperor’s Might surging from the giants, the axe, and the seal. He yelled, "Bujie, get back here this instant!"

But the retreat was impossible for Bujie and his companions, who found themselves trembling uncontrollably, hovering precariously as if they might fall into the abyss at any moment.

In the next instant, a series of deafening explosions rocked the air!

The rust and sediment coating the giants, the axe, and the stone seal disintegrated in an instant. Dazzling beams of golden light and suffocating, ancient energies erupted outward, blasting directly toward Bujie and his group!

"What the hell!"

"What is this chaos?!"

"Flee! Retreat at once!"

Bujie and Ning Jianfeng screamed in sheer panic, scrambling backward while franticly conjuring layers of protective Qi to shield themselves. They had never expected these artifacts to possess such lethal potential!

In the blink of an eye, the energy crashed against their defenses with the force of a falling star.

Bam, bam, bam!

Boom, boom, boom!

These beams of light shattered their protective barriers as though they were nothing more than parchment. Bujie and the others shrieked in agony as the force threw them backward, their bodies spiraling out of control.
