Chapter 628
Chapter 628: Chapter 628 Demon Island Chapter 628: Chapter 628 Demon Island Shi Hao prepared to set out for Demon Island.
Before taking action, he conducted necessary investigations, starting with some legends, then asking people for advice, and finally deliberately purchasing various bone texts containing records of Demon Island to understand in detail.
“That place is very dangerous, although it contains great opportunities, yet each year, eighty percent of those who go there die.”
This was in a grand city, where a grey-haired elder guarding the transport formation spoke.
With a gaunt face and deep eyes, he looked at everyone and gave this warning.
Demon Island, though within the territory of the Five Elements State, was already on the edge, very far from the mainland.
To get there one must rely on such intricate Gigantic Transmission Arrays.
And these Super Teleportation Arrays capable of long-distance travel across states were only controlled by a few major schools.
This array, pale cyan in overall color, was built from a strange rock, engraved with all kinds of complex and mysterious characters, and sacrificed with Primordial Treasured Bones, circulating mysterious powers.
The altar began to glow, the first to break was a golden Beast Bone, followed by two purple avian bones cracking open…
The pile of precious bones used for sacrifice all began to burn, releasing divine energy.
Clearly, the consumption was enormous, beyond the capability of general schools to operate!
With a “boom”, characters filled the air, the great array began to operate, piercing through the void rapidly, constructing a pale cyan path of light, stretching toward the distance.
Nearly a thousand people, all stepping into the glowing passage together, were beings intent on going to Demon Island, some for adventure, and others from major forces escorting formidable creatures.

The pale cyan path was very stable, penetrating the void, leading to millions of miles away; these people entered in an orderly fashion, constantly disappearing.
It wasn’t long before a huge flashing symbol gate appeared ahead, and they were soon at their destination.
This is the void travel, spanning space, crossing astronomical distances, able to reach the shortest time.
“This time there are not too many people.” Someone outside of the light gate spoke, guarding this place.
This was point-to-point transport to avoid accidents, hence there were protectors of the array.
“Hmm, last time there were more than ten thousand people, alas, many who entered the island never came out again,” an elder sighed.
This great array was only activated once every half a month, and at least a few thousand people had to set off together for the rare expenses to be enough to support its operation; otherwise, even major schools could not afford it.
To set off alone, one would need to offer a world-shaking treasure directly, with the contribution from an individual equating to the collective offering of various rare materials from thousands to tens of thousands of people.
Shi Hao stepped out of the passage, looking up to see the sky hazy and slightly oppressive, with the sun rarely seen and always shrouded in mist.
Demon Island, though it had the word island in its name, was not in the sea nor in common waters, but suspended in the void, never falling.
“You can’t see it here; you need to cross the eight hundred miles of the Misty Region before you can truly enter the island,” said a boatman who came forward to attract business, offering to ferry people over.
“It’s only eight hundred miles; you can fly directly over, what do you need a boat for?” someone scoffed, stepping onto a Treasured Artifact and taking to the air swiftly.
However, not more than a few dozen miles out, cries of alarm were heard.
“The eight hundred miles of the Misty Region is terrifying, ordinary people cannot fly in it.” A few more boatmen came forward, soliciting business.
People were astonished; the Misty Region was truly extraordinary.
Those who had flown out just now all returned in a sorry state, noses bruised, faces swollen, bones broken, tendons snapped, seriously injured.
“To come back alive is already good; you should know, there are many unknown dangers inside,” an elder said.
With that, people dispelled their doubts and boarded the boats in succession, choosing a safe route to enter the island.
Shi Hao did the same, standing on the boat and carefully observing; the fog ahead became thicker and thicker, to the point where it was hard to see anything within several tens of meters.
Without a guide, it was very easy to get lost.
The boat didn’t travel on water but flew high in the sky, refined from a very special material found within Demon Island, gleaming with lightning, capable of crossing the skies.
“Hey, what is that?”
Suddenly, someone exclaimed.
A hundred meters away in the thick fog, a pair of blood-red eyes like lanterns flashed an icy light, heavy with killing intent.
No doubt, it was a huge creature that could fly in the Misty Region, setting its sights on the people on the boat.
“Gentlemen, this time you should feel it’s worth it, if you were flying alone, you’d encounter all sorts of dangers within this eight hundred miles of thick fog,” the Boatman said.
He lit a bone lamp at the bow, and strangely, the crimson eyes in the shadows closed, the mysterious giant beast silently retreated, and the murderous intent vanished.
The boat traveled very slowly, obviously avoiding some dangerous areas.
This made people marvel; they hadn’t even reached the island, but it was already like this; one could imagine how harsh the living environment was.
Shi Hao sat cross-legged on the boat, closing his eyes, with the Myriad Spirits Diagram surfacing in his mind, silently contemplating.
Even on the journey, he wouldn’t waste time.
He knew only by constantly improving his strength could he traverse the world freely without constraints.
After entering the higher realms, under normal circumstances, he could not use the signature precious symbol of Kun Peng’s technique; otherwise, it would cause waves and his identity would be exposed immediately.
The Myriad Spirits Diagram could turn decay into a miracle.
The more Shi Hao understood it, the more peaceful his heart became.
Since his revival, he had been constantly pondering it.
“We’ve arrived.” After a long time, the boat had steadied, and people were disembarking one after another.
This was a giant island, like a continent floating in the void, appearing like a mass of dark clouds covering the area, and one could feel an ancient atmosphere.
“We’re finally here; this is the legendary Demon Island.
It is indeed vast, spanning tens of thousands of miles, and I sense a mysterious power spread all around.”
“This will be the arena where I temper myself, and the path of the strong begins here!”
Some young people murmured, both excited and nervous.
While the older individuals remained composed and reticent, merely watching in silence.
Dozens of boats docked one after another, and thousands of people almost simultaneously reached the island, a massive land shrouded in both mystery and peril.
Shi Hao noticed that among these fellow travelers, some were extraordinary, with their vital energy retracted, resembling dormant ferocious spirits, absolutely powerful and likely having ignited divine flames.
In addition, there were several young people who were quite astonishing.
At one glance, it was clear that they possessed exceptional talents and were all followed and guarded by powerful battle servants.
“Could it be that a ‘Primordial’ is hidden among them?” Shi Hao wondered in astonishment.
He saw one or two young individuals who were particularly unique, like dragons hidden among beasts.
“Haha…
Finally arrived, this is not only a dangerous place but also a land of creation.
I will find the legendary Immortal Grave and forge an invincible body with Immortal Blood,” a youth in a purple robe laughed loudly.
Many people looked back and snorted coldly at him, dissatisfied with his ostentation.
“What are you looking at!” the youth roared.
At the same time, immense blood energy spread around him, as a huge, fierce, and ferocious beast shadow appeared behind him, exuding an oppressive aura.
“What, a Taotie!” the crowd exclaimed in shock, with many retreating involuntarily, feeling chills run down their spines.
This youth was a Taotie, a creature of no ordinary status.
Around him were several old servants with deep eyes who remained silent, standing guard.
Taotie, one of the strongest clans in the world, capable of devouring heaven and earth.
When cultivated to the utmost, they could even consume various natural laws.
Once the outstanding ones among them reached adulthood, they were invincible.
“Hmph!” From afar, someone let out a snort.
It was a youth clad in golden Feather Cloak, surrounded by swirling golden light, shining brilliantly.
“People from the Ancient Golden Luan clan!” someone whispered.
This was another powerful race, rare in number, but whenever one emerged, it would strike fear into the hearts of all in a region.
“Not convinced, are you?
We’ll see about that on the island!” laughed the youth from the Taotie Clan.
“It appears that everyone who came this time is no simple character,” some of the older individuals discussed quietly.
Many clans had come, all of them formidable figures.
In fact, Shi Hao had already noticed their extraordinariness.
Besides those who had ignited divine flames, he was most concerned about a silent young man.
The young man had a pale complexion, dull eyes, seeming somewhat despondent.
He hadn’t spoken a word since his arrival, yet Shi Hao had an intuition that this person was extremely terrifying.
“Let’s go, let’s enter the island!”
Ultimately, no conflict erupted, and thousands headed into the island, where vegetation was sparse, perennially shrouded in fog, the land dry and rigid, with boulders scattered everywhere.
Demon Island was divided into two areas, one being a prison area, and the other a natural deadly land.

One could now see the prison area, a dark expanse where all buildings were constructed from black cauldron metal mixed with various rare Divine Materials, indestructible, and with sect master-level individuals having engraved immortal Arrays on them for Suppression.
In them were confined many powerful beings and ferocious demons, including not a few Celestial Gods!
“Hurry!”
As they approached this prison that flickered with a cold, dark metallic sheen, they could see some prison wardens wielding long whips that shone with character light, lashing out at a group of prisoners shackled and stripped of their cultivation, escorting them towards a mine.
Once sent to the Black Prison of Demon Island, it meant that freedom would be difficult to regain.
Among them were many beings that had ignited divine flames.
The most lamentable part was, once here, the mighty beings of the past would become forced labor, venturing deep into cursed lands to mine, leading a miserable life without a glimpse of the sun.
Beneath Demon Island lay Divine Materials containing the power of lightning, capable of being refined into various dao of lightning Treasured Artifacts.
The finest among them could be referred to as Divine Material.
“Legend has it that Demon Island was once home to a supreme Demon Lord, who achieved the highest level of accomplishment, sweeping across various schools in endless years past and was hailed as the Supreme of that era.
Until his later years, he attempted a breakthrough to surpass the limits allowed by heaven and earth, to truly detach, but instead, he drew down the Immortal Dao Laws, which unleashed Immmortal Dao Thunder and destroyed an island rich in precious medicine and abundant in Spiritual Energy, leaving it withered and desolate,” someone sighed.
In that battle, the Demon Lord nearly transcended, shattering heaven and earth, even confining the Immortal Dao Laws, and was rumored to have slain a taboo creature that appeared in the Immortal Dao Thunder.
In the end, the Demon Lord died, his flesh and blood merging with the island.
It prevented the island from disintegrating, and it even drew the force of the Immortal Dao Thunder into the land, forming many rare Divine Materials.
Moreover, legends said that deep in the deadly land, an additional Immortal Grave appeared, belonging to that forbidden creature.
For endless years, many mysterious and bloody incidents happened on this island, with numerous Celestial Gods falling here, thus earning it the name Demon Island.
“Half of it is a prison area, half is deadly land, choose where you wish to go.” Upon entering the island, someone came to supervise and informed everyone about situations requiring caution.
Shi Hao chose the direction of the Black Prison and headed that way.
Out of thousands, only a few hundred people chose this direction; the rest planned to venture into the deadly land as, despite being more dangerous, huge fortunes awaited there.
The Black prison area had many extremely famous ancient mines, containing numerous rare Divine Materials, and some even found Beast Bones stained with Supreme Blood.
Such beings, almost transcendent beyond heaven and earth, standing at the ultimate peak, their blood contained unimaginable mysterious power, immortal throughout the ages.
Once unearthed, it could be directly refined into True Flood Dragon Pills!
Typically, the prison’s overseers forced prisoners to mine, digging deeper.
However, outsiders were also allowed to come and explore the ancient mines, but they were obligated to hand over seventy percent of any findings.
This underground carried a Curse, mysterious powers, and often life-threatening dangers; otherwise, it would not be open to the outside.
To mine here, there was a high cost.
Shi Hao arrived, choosing this prison area, wishing to probe for news of his grandfather, to find out the truth.
He longed for his respected grandfather, whom he hadn’t seen for over a decade, worrying about his safety.
To his surprise, as soon as he arrived, before he had delved deeper, he received news about his grandfather.
The Great Demonic God Grandpa Fifteen was actually a notable figure here!
