Chapter 962: Magic Dragon Island

"That's because, in the initial formation of the continent, the pirates who arrived here were too weak, not even on the same level as the Demon Dragon. Many of them perished completely, shaken by the Demon Dragon's roar, even before they left the outer regions of the Demon Dragon Island sea area.

Consequently, countless human skeletons lay hidden around the Sea of the Demon Dragon.

After that, the Sea of the Demon Dragon seemingly became a terrifying land of death throughout Yingzhou Continent, and gradually, few dared to venture there.

It wasn't until later eras, within the four major domains of Yingzhou Continent, that cultivation systems continuously proliferated and perfected. More and more top human experts emerged, including even some individuals with peak Blue-grade and Purple-grade spiritual energy. These groups began to team up and attempt expeditions, which gradually, a few millennia ago, brought Demon Dragon Island back into the world's attention.

The achievements made by these groups became increasingly significant. While they didn't necessarily gain much, more and more people were able to preserve their lives and successfully return to the main continent.

It was during that era that the Black Pearl Battle Team, founders of the Demon Dragon Legion, achieved a miracle. Not only did they successfully land on Demon Dragon Island, but they also acquired a powerful legacy that astonished everyone in the Western Regions. The power they obtained became the greatest asset for the Demon Dragon Legion to establish itself in the entire Western Regions today."

Xu Yang and the others nodded gravely. After hearing this explanation, they all became filled with curiosity and a strong desire to explore Demon Dragon Island.

"According to this, it's possible that the spiritual energy cultivation system prevalent throughout the Western Regions today also originates from the legacy left behind on Demon Dragon Island."

Driven by this thought, every member of Xu Yang's Glory Squad could no longer stay still; they were all eager to head to Demon Dragon Island.

However, before setting off, they quickly realized a problem: where would they get the equipment needed for their sea voyage?

Soon, the mermaid sisters once again surprised the team: "When my sister and I came to this land and found the Spiritual Pool, we had already discovered the ruins left behind by the former Black Pearl."

Guided by the two young women, Xu Yang's seven-member team soon discovered an incredibly huge and exquisite black battleship at the edge of the Sea of the Demon Dragon.

It was named a "battleship" because it was equipped with many highly advanced spiritual energy weapons.

"Wow, this is truly eye-opening!" exclaimed the Plancys. "To think that the Black Pearl Battle Team could create such advanced weapons thousands of years ago. Even in our current era, my husband's and my team have never been able to possess a battleship with this kind of configuration. It's incredible!"

The Plancys were utterly shocked and ecstatic beyond measure. As natural pirates with a yearning for freedom and adventure, they found it impossible to remain calm after seeing such astonishing equipment.

Xu Yang naturally noticed the couple's excitement and decisively decided to give them the Black Pearl flagship as their spoils of war.

Upon hearing Xu Yang's arrangement, the Plancys excitedly began to display their affection in front of everyone again, which truly gave the rest of the team a headache.

"Alright, alright, what are you two so excited about?" Ghougulas interrupted. "This ship is for us to go to Demon Dragon Island. You've all seen the Demon Dragon's power. If we really rely on it to reach the island, whether it can withstand the Demon Dragon's might and bring us back alive is still an unknown."

Ghougulas's cold dose of reality quickly extinguished the couple's excitement and put an end to their public display of affection.

Nevertheless, receiving such a massive, top-tier battleship, even if they couldn't bring it back to the main continent, merely getting to pilot it would make the trip worthwhile.

With this excitement, Xu Yang's Glory Squad, numbering seven, along with the two exquisite mermaid maidens, boarded the Black Pearl. However, the moment they touched the main cabin of the battleship, a special hidden barrier radiating a purple aura suddenly activated. There was no doubt that the five old members of the Elder Council had sealed this battleship using special means; without their power to lift the seal, no one would be able to sail the ship.

"Damn it, don't tell me we've gone through all this trouble just for a false alarm?" Ghougulas grumbled, slapping his large belly in despair. "To think they set up their own seal! It must be the combined effort of the five strongest elders. If we can't break this seal and control this battleship, we might have to swim to Demon Dragon Island."

Just then, Xu Yang sneered coldly and confidently stepped forward, standing before the entire team. He calmly looked at the barrier, then gently raised his hand and placed his palm on its surface.

In that instant, the Ghost Valley Qimen Grand Array materialized beneath Xu Yang's feet. His six internal energy vortexes simultaneously activated, unleashing a powerful burst of primal energy that further demonstrated the might of the Primal Power cultivation system.

Indeed, harnessing the creation of heaven and earth could produce too many incredible miracles. Without a doubt, as soon as the Ghost Valley Qimen Grand Array activated, Xu Yang dramatically reversed the direction of the seal.

Originally, this seal was placed by those old men to suppress the Black Pearl's main cabin, because the control system for all the Black Pearl's resources was located within the main cockpit. If this seal couldn't be opened, the ship would be no different from an empty vessel.

Xu Yang knew very well that if a Purple-grade seal like this were forcibly broken, the resulting energy fluctuations would further damage the ship. Moreover, the five Grand Elders of the Elder Council would immediately detect it, prematurely exposing their objectives.

Therefore, under such circumstances, activating the Ghost Valley Qimen Grand Array to shift the seal's target was undoubtedly the best decision.

Everyone was utterly stunned after witnessing Xu Yang personally demonstrate the ingenious Ghost Valley Qimen Grand Array, each drawing a sharp breath. Some even found it hard to believe that what they were seeing was real!

"My goodness, Boss," Joker exclaimed, "if you possess such abilities, then all the forbidden seals in this world are meaningless to you, aren't they?"

Joker wasn't trying to flatter Xu Yang; his recent actions had simply exceeded the limits of Joker's comprehension.
