The Supreme Elders of the Myriad Returns Immortal Island gathered all together. All of them were figures of the "Cave Heaven Realm", the Longevity Third Layer and above, fully numbering over eighty. Gathered together, this force was indeed quite considerable.
Especially the two experts of the Mixed Hole Realm, "Marquis Wan Hai" and "King Wan Hai", who suppressed the scene. These two great Mixed Holes naturally had cultivated some unknown incantations. Although not as ferocious as the Monk of Ultimate Bliss, from the looks of it, they were much more formidable than some ordinary experts of the Mixed Hole Realm.
Now, these Supreme Elders were discussing how to deal with Fang Han and the Star Lord.
"Two martial uncles, how is the cultivation of the immortal technique imparted by Taihuangtian to win over our Myriad Returns Immortal Island going? That immortal technique is of great help to our control over the sea eye," Wan Yushu asked.
"It has already been cultivated to about perfection. We can urge the power of the sea eye to lay down various grand formations. Our own origin spirits have already begun to fuse with the sea eye. Waiting until our power continues to suffice and the Mixed Hole Laws truly reach great perfection, beginning to touch upon Immortal Dao Laws, we will pass the Immortal Realm lightning tribulation within the sea eye. Relying on the power of the sea eye, we presume we can easily pass it and achieve becoming False Immortals." Marquis Wan Hai and King Wan Hai said, "However, this Fang Han obtained all the treasures of the Heavenly Martial Treasury. Within it, there are many Immortal Pills, and even Peerless Immortal Pills. If they could be given to us to consume, our accumulation would immediately reach perfection. Therefore, this time he must be refined, and the Taiyi Sect cannot be allowed to know."
"Since the two martial uncles have both spoken so, then there are absolutely no further questions about this matter. We will concentrate the power of the entire sect to thoroughly refine these two individuals, activate the Sea Emperor's Sacrificial Grand Formation, and invite the true spirit of the ancient Sea Emperor into action," Wan Yushu said.
"What? Activate the Sea Emperor's Sacrifice? How many years has it been since we performed this ancient ritual? According to rumors, it was still during the battle between gods and demons a long time ago that an ancestral master of our Myriad Returns Immortal Island executed it once. Who knows the blood of how many living creatures must be consumed to sacrifice to the Sea Emperor and summon the manifestation of the great sea's origin force."
A Supreme Elder said in shock.
"The Sect Master is right. To refine the Star Lord and this kid Fang Han, the Sea Emperor's Sacrifice must be activated. Otherwise, it would be impossible to achieve full success in a short period of time." Another Supreme Elder who had cultivated to the "Heavenly Position Realm" stroked his beard. "It is reasonable and justified, the Sea Emperor's Sacrifice must be activated. If we can use the peerless grand formation of the Sea Emperor's Sacrifice to strip away the numerous Peerless Dao Artifacts on this child Fang Han's body, even if the two martial uncles, Hai Hou and Hai Wang, do not pass the Immortal Realm lightning tribulation to become False Immortals, it will be fully sufficient to contend against Taihuangtian. Furthermore, just now we saw that that kid Fang Han actually converted an expert of the Mixed Hole Realm. When we refine him, we will also be able to obtain this Mixed Hole expert as a slave."
"Haha, it is indeed like this. If we can succeed, then to what extent will the strength of my Myriad Returns Immortal Island elevate?"
"That is so, that is so. Then let us activate the Sea Emperor's Sacrifice immediately."
"But activating the Sea Emperor's Sacrifice requires the powerful souls and blood of living creatures."
"What is there to fear? These years, our Myriad Returns Immortal Island has campaigned east and conquered west. Who knows how many underwater demon races and water race cultivators we have captured as slaves. Summon them all over to sacrifice to the Sea Emperor, this is nothing at all."
"Mm, the work of thousands of years lies in a single battle. It is what they call maintaining an army for a thousand days to use it for a single moment."
"Good, numerous Supreme Elders, if there are no objections, then I will issue the summoning decree, ordering all grand elders to summon the slaves from the tens of thousands of mines of our Myriad Returns Immortal Island, as well as various monster cultivators and water race cultivators, to enter the Sea Emperor's Holy Land and sacrifice to the Sea Emperor!"
Wan Yushu stood up and struck out decree after imperial decree.
Instantly, countless decrees flew wildly within the Guicang Continent. Countless disciples, elders, and grand elders of the entire Myriad Returns Immortal Island all received messages one after another, and these messages were immediately transmitted outwards.
In a submarine mineral vein, countless water race cultivators, whose lower halves were fish bodies and upper halves were human, were mining the submarine mineral vein and toiling hard at digging under the supervision of many Divine Ability Realm disciples. The seabed was a massive cold iron mine stretching over tens of thousands of miles. Aside from these mermaid water races, there were also some Divine Ability Realm cultivator slaves. Forced to use protective true qi to resist the power of the water, they dug and mined with great difficulty within the submarine cold iron mineral vein.
If they were even slightly slow, the fierce and vicious cultivators of the Myriad Returns Immortal Island would directly go up and give them a violent beating, sometimes even bloodily chopping off their heads, killing them outright.
Meanwhile, countless ferocious sharks shuttled through the sea. Upon the bodies of these sharks were also the talismans of the Myriad Returns Immortal Island, making them ten times more ferocious than ordinary sharks, with immense power and speed comparable to flying swords. As long as any cultivator showed signs of escaping, they would immediately pounce forward and bloodily bite them to death in one mouthful.
There were countless mineral veins on the seabed, including essence crystal mines, cold jade mines, cold iron mines, supreme white essential gold… as well as various spirit medicines. It was far richer than the mineral veins on the surface, and they were also the best materials for Dao practitioners to sacrifice and refine flying swords, spirit artifacts, and treasure artifacts. However, the difficulty of excavation was also more than ten times harder than on the surface.
Even if a Divine Ability Realm cultivator brought enough talismans for surviving in the water, it was still a narrow escape from death.
Every day, an unknown number of cultivators would die in the submarine mineral veins of the Myriad Returns Immortal Island.
Suddenly, consecutive talismans were transmitted from afar. Upon receiving them all, the expressions of these supervising disciples changed, and they immediately blew their conch shells. "All slaves, stop excavating, return to the Guicang Continent, and await orders!"
Immediately, countless talisman sharks grouped and drove countless slaves to travel towards the Guicang Continent.
Thousands of miles away from the Guicang Continent, volcanic magma appeared one after another on countless sea islands. On these sea islands, there were also countless slave cultivators being driven to enter the volcanoes to collect red fire crystal stones and magma essence. Some cultivators, their magic power proving insufficient therein, immediately fell into the volcanic magma, leaving not even a corpse behind.
As successive talismans were transmitted over, the crying sounds of these slave cultivators shook the heavens as they were also driven to fly towards the Guicang Continent.
Scenes like this were everywhere. The Myriad Returns Immortal Island had truly mobilized all its forces. Within a few hours, countless slaves had all been mobilized back. Even some elders of the Eternal Giant level set out.
Deep within the Guicang Continent, in an abyss fully an area of thousands of miles, reaching tens of thousands of zhang deep and practically bottomless, it was pitch black, seeming to connect to the sea eye. By the edge of this abyss, there was a blood-drenched altarpiece. Upon the ancient altarpiece stood a totem pole. Atop the totem pole were individual figures of the savage and ancient sea race, appearing as humans born in the sea countless epochs ago. These humans born in the sea established an ancient civilization, which had now thoroughly vanished into the dust of history. However, as long as sacrifices were made, mysterious and bizarre power could be generated.
At this very moment, all the Supreme Elders of the Myriad Returns Immortal Island had arrived here. Standing beside the altarpiece, looking at the ancient central totem pole and the ancient savage sea race upon it, Wan Yushu's face was ashen. "Bring all the slaves up, push them into the deep pit, and we will activate the Sea Emperor's Sacrifice."
Immediately, loud wails and cries arose. Some cultivators had their magic power successively sealed and were pushed into the ten-thousand-zhang abyss, letting out shrill and mournful screams; among them were even some Golden Core experts.
"Why! Why! Myriad Returns Immortal Island, five hundred years ago when you exterminated our Sea Soul Gang, didn't you promise us that as long as we honestly served as slaves for you, you would not kill us? Over these five hundred years, who knows how many mineral veins my Sea Soul Gang has excavated for your Myriad Returns Immortal Island, and how many spirit medicines we have refined. Why do you not keep your word!"
A cultivator who had cultivated to the Divine Ability Seventh Layer, the Golden Core Realm, upon seeing countless cultivators being forcefully pushed into the abyss, began to howl hysterically.
"Nonsense! A bunch of evildoers, even death cannot completely wipe out your crimes." The leader of the Dark Faction, Wan Jianzong, smiled savagely and said, "You still want to live? A remnant of West Dragon Island who cultivated to the Light of Time Realm came to make trouble at my mountain gate this time and was suppressed all the same. What do you amount to!"
With a crack, Wan Jianzong's massive hand pinched, gripping the Gang Leader of this Sea Soul Gang. He forcefully reached into his head alive, dug out a Golden Core, and threw it into the abyss.
"I curse you! I curse you of the Myriad Returns Immortal Island, that your blood will flow into rivers entirely, leaving not even chickens or dogs behind! You promised that in three more years, you would release the cultivators of our Xiantu Sect!"
Another powerhouse who had cultivated to the Divine Ability Ninth Layer, the Heaven and Earth Dharma Manifestation, refused to submit and was about to charge up. But with a backhanded震, Wan Jianzong struck him down into the abyss.
"Papa!" A little boy began to cry, held in the arms of a female cultivator. But Wan Jianzong showed not the slightest pity. With a flick of his finger, both exploded into fine powder. Both soul and flesh fell into the abyss.
"Kill, kill, kill! All slaves, push them all into the abyss!" Wan Jianzong flew wildly through the air, transforming into a long rainbow, directing disciples and elders.
Instantly, thousands upon tens of thousands, an unknown number of hundreds of millions of cultivator slaves, monsters, demon races, and humans, were all pushed into the abyss.
"Reporting to the Sect Master, there are fully eight hundred million slaves, all pushed into the abyss. However, to activate the Sea Emperor's Sacrifice, it seems it is not enough." Wan Jianzong flew to the side of Sect Master Wan Yushu. "Not enough? Dispatch people to completely destroy all countries within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles nearby. Bring all living creatures and humans here. Forget it, you people are too slow to act. This is an extraordinary period, let me do it."
As they spoke, around Wan Yushu, spatial passages opened up one after another. Within these spatial passages appeared many marine continents. On these continents lived many countries and humans. All lived in peace and worked happily. Normally, these countries conducted trade under the protection of the Myriad Returns Immortal Island. Among them were many empires, such as the Feng Xian Empire, the Ganghua Empire… each empire possessed a population exceeding a hundred million.
But now, suddenly, these empires encountered an apocalyptic disaster. Peerless massive hands descended upon the cities of these empires. Countless living creatures were grabbed up by the massive hands, and even armies and officials could not escape the fate of being grabbed away.
In the past, a minor figure like Hua Tiandu could fill the cosmos with snow and freeze eight thousand miles in a single move. Now Wan Yushu was at the Longevity Seventh Layer, the World King Realm. Under a single move, countless living creatures of empires were captured on account of it.
Fully more than a dozen marine empires, in an instant, were all shot into his palm, flying in from the space-time passages. Human beings one by one, like ants, fell from the sky into the abyss.
"Two martial uncles, within your worlds, countless living creatures are also reared. Let us all fly out the living creatures within our own Cave Heavens and activate the Sea Emperor's Sacrifice together."
Successively destroying over a dozen marine empires and capturing over a billion humans, Wan Yushu's expression did not change at all.
