Chapter 292 Electrox: I felt the power of the gods.
Huo Yuhao had been secretly estimating the distance. Based on Yun Ming's flying speed, they estimated that they were about 30 kilometers away from Beihai City.
An archipelago is scattered across the sea beneath my feet, with islands of all sizes scattered like black chess pieces.
But he only needed one glance to realize that these islands were anything but ordinary.
Both the soil and the vegetation covering the island were completely black.
The sunlight shining on it barely produced any luster, as if it were silently swallowed up by the darkness.
Yun Ming's figure came to a steady stop in mid-air. Huo Yuhao had already made a judgment in his mind: the strange black archipelago below should be their destination.
Sure enough, Yun Ming then turned around and scanned the faces of the six boys one by one.
He said, "This is Devil's Island. Before you go in, let me remind you that you still have the chance to refuse."
"The test officially begins once you set foot on this island. If you fail to complete it, you'll have to leave lying down."
Everyone looked at Yun Ming, and no one spoke, but every young face was filled with the same answer.
As a Soul Master, even if you are young or a girl, your will has been honed to a firm degree through countless training sessions and battles.
Now that we're here, there's no turning back.
They were prepared to face any danger and would not back down because of Yun Ming's warning.
Yun Ming looked at the six stubborn faces in front of him, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly nodded, his tone revealing neither relief nor helplessness: "Since you have made your decision, I hope you will not regret it."
After saying this, Yun Ming said no more. His soul power carried everyone down rapidly, flying straight towards the largest main island in the middle of the archipelago.
As the altitude decreased, the appearance of Devil's Island became clearer and clearer to everyone.
The island is shrouded in an invisible dark filter, with pitch-black reefs, pitch-black beaches, and pitch-black vegetation. Even the air seems heavier than outside.
However, Yun Ming did not lead everyone directly to land on the island, but instead floated on the sea surface at the edge of the island.
Not only the island itself, but even the seawater surrounding it was a thick, pitch-black color, as if someone had poured a whole vat of ink into the sea.
The pitch-black seawater only lingered within a few dozen meters of Devil Island, beyond which lay the normal azure seawater. The two colors were clearly distinct at their boundary, as if an invisible barrier separated them.
In those azure waters, one can vaguely see many sea spirit beasts swimming.
Huo Yuhao even sensed the auras of many ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, but at this moment they all obediently shrank into the seawater, not daring to even peek out.
Yun Ming only released a slight amount of the pressure of a Limit Douluo, which was enough to silence these ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.
Yun Ming turned to Leng Yaozhu and said, "Yaozhu, you stay outside for now, I'll take them inside."
Leng Yaozhu nodded without asking any further questions.
Devil Island is, after all, Shrek Academy's "treasure trove," and it's inconvenient for her, an outsider, to set foot there.
After saying that, Yun Ming led Huo Yuhao and the others onto the pitch-black Devil's Island.
The moment Huo Yuhao stepped onto this dark earth, he abruptly raised his head and looked around.
He felt as if he had stepped into another world, a barrier completely different from the laws of the outside world.
There was an indescribable heaviness in the air, and every breath felt slightly stuffy in my lungs.
The others followed closely behind Yun Ming, also observing this oppressive world with curiosity and vigilance.
The black sand beaches and black reefs made the entire island eerily quiet; even the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks was much more muffled than the outside world.
Soon, everyone noticed the anomaly: they couldn't sense even a trace of the natural energy of heaven and earth here.
For Soul Masters, this means that once their Soul Power is depleted, there will be no way to replenish it on this island.
This made everyone's hearts sink slightly, but they quickly calmed down.
Since this is a treasure trove for the elites of Shrek Academy throughout history to hone their skills, the rules here naturally have their purpose.
Yunming led them slowly along a faintly visible black path toward the center of the island. The dark forest on both sides grew increasingly dense, with twisted branches intertwining high above.
After a while, a faint purplish-black light appeared from the depths of the dense forest ahead, dark and eerie.
Yun Ming stopped at this moment, and everyone else followed suit.
Just then, a hoarse and aged voice rang out without warning: "Why are you here?"
Only then did everyone realize that, without anyone noticing, a person had suddenly appeared in front of Yun Ming.
The man was about 1.8 meters tall, but his body was severely hunched over, like an old tree bent by the weight of time.
A head of messy white hair fell down, covering most of his face, revealing only one cloudy and deep-set eye.
He held a shiny black cane in his hand, his face was full of wrinkles, the deep furrows like a dried-up riverbed, and his whole body exuded an indescribable eeriness and vicissitude.
Clearly, the old man knew Yun Ming.
Yun Ming looked at the other person, his expression still calm as still water, and simply nodded slightly: "Come and see someone off."

After speaking, Yun Ming stepped aside, revealing Huo Yuhao and the others to the old man in their entirety.
Then he turned his head slightly and introduced the man to the six boys behind him: "You can call this man Destruction."
Although the group felt a little uneasy about the mysterious old man who had suddenly appeared and the eerie atmosphere on the island, they still maintained proper etiquette and respectfully greeted him, "Senior Pomie."
The old man opposite, named Destruction, swept his gaze over the six teenagers one by one, and a strange smile slowly appeared on his wrinkled face.
He didn't say much to the boys, but secretly transmitted his voice to Yun Ming, saying, "Yun boy, you personally brought them here. Is there some special arrangement this time?"
Yun Ming paused for a moment, then secretly replied telepathically, "Proceed as normal, but don't trouble the Northern Navy Legion this time."
The Destroyer has been stationed on Devil Island for over a thousand years, witnessing generation after generation of Shrek geniuses weep and transform themselves on this island, including Yun Ming back then.
At that time, he felt that this kid was destined for greatness, but he never expected that he would actually become the number one person on the mainland.
Upon hearing Yun Ming's words, Po Mie understood the situation.
However, I still can't quite understand why Yun Ming came personally to see people off this time.
His cloudy old eyes slowly swept over the six teenagers, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Could it be that among these youngsters, there is someone even more special than Yun Ming back then?"
However, Broken wasn't the type to worry, so if he couldn't figure something out, he simply stopped thinking about it.
He slammed his cane on the ground, turned around, and his hoarse voice echoed through the dark forest: "Come with me."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Yun Ming, but instead of acting immediately.
Yun Ming looked at them and nodded slightly.
Only then did everyone begin to move, closely following the hunched figure ahead.
After traveling about a kilometer through the dark forest, the purplish-black light ahead became increasingly dazzling.
Suddenly, everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and after a brief moment of disorientation, the scene before them had completely changed.
Everyone instinctively stopped and looked around; the scene before them was completely different from the oppressive black world they had just witnessed.
This place is actually a valley, surrounded by green mountains on all sides, with lush green grass underfoot.
The mountains and fields were covered with all kinds of flowers and plants, and the air was filled with a faint, sweet floral fragrance. Compared with the oppressive feeling outside that made it hard to even breathe, this place was simply a paradise.
What surprised everyone even more was that there was the primordial energy of heaven and earth here.
Moreover, the life force here is extremely strong, even stronger than that on Seagod Island at Shrek Academy.
However, before everyone could recover from the idyllic scenery, their gazes were involuntarily drawn to the enormous pillar of light shooting into the sky from the center of the valley.
It was a purplish-black pillar of light that rose straight up from the center of the valley and pierced the sky.
Just a glimpse from afar is enough to send a strange shiver down one's spine.
Huo Yuhao calmly surveyed his surroundings when, suddenly, the solemn voice of his teacher, Electrolux, echoed in his mind.
"Yuhao, this place is not simple."
"I sensed the power of the gods; be careful."
