I just became the Pirate King, and you're telling me I also time-traveled at the same time.

Chapter 582 Chaos Demon God Yuan Tu

Three months later, Chu Yang reappeared in the waters near Yingzhou Island.

"I've been away for almost a year now. I wonder if Yingzhou Island has changed at all, or if it's still in the same place?"

Chu Yang thought to himself.

Yingzhou Island, one of the three immortal islands, is said to be constantly changing its location. If the island changes its location again after Chu Yang leaves this time, that would be bad news.

After some effort to confirm, they finally found the location where they had entered the spatial node last time.

In the same space, Chu Yang found this slightly altered space by comparing it with the seabed topography.

"Although there have been some changes, the entrance is still there overall."

Chu Yang narrowed his eyes. The spatial node had shifted slightly from before, but that was not a problem for him.

He channeled his magical power, transforming it into a streak of light as he rushed into the spatial node.

He was enveloped by familiar spatial power, and after a dizzying moment, Chu Yang once again set foot on Yingzhou Island.

The island-protecting formation still exists, emitting a faint golden light that envelops the entire island.

After testing it, the golden light remained indestructible, so Chu Yang didn't try again. He easily found the weak point he had discovered last time and passed through the formation with almost no effort this time.

The island remains as beautiful as ever, shrouded in a mystical atmosphere, with exotic flowers and rare herbs everywhere, resembling a fairyland.

The top-grade innate spiritual root, the Immortal Apricot, remained unchanged, as did the other innate spiritual roots.

Chu Yang took a deep breath; the rich spiritual energy here made him feel refreshed and relaxed.

Compared to this place, the secret realm where the Phoenix Clan lives is nothing.

Of course, the Wind Clan's secret realm, filled with countless fire-elemental energies, is a treasure trove for the Phoenix Clan.

Chu Yang shook off his extraneous thoughts and walked straight toward the stone tablet in the center of the island without lingering.

Last time he came, he could only sigh in despair because he did not have the bloodline of the phoenix.

Now that he has cultivated the "Nirvana Rebirth Technique" and gained the special abilities of the Phoenix Clan, this stone tablet is no longer an obstacle.

Arriving at the stone tablet, Chu Yang carefully observed it.

The stone tablet exudes an ancient and mysterious aura, and is engraved with intricate runes that wriggle like tadpoles, as if they contain endless mysteries.

Chu Yang sat cross-legged, placed his palms on the stone tablet, and activated the Nirvana power within his body.

As Chu Yang continuously circulated the "Nirvana Rebirth Technique," a crimson flame surged from his body, enveloping the entire stone tablet.

The runes on the stone tablet seemed to come alive, flashing with dazzling light and resonating with the phoenix bloodline within Chu Yang's body.

The process of refining the stone tablet went even more smoothly than Chu Yang had imagined.

A few days later, the runes on the stone tablet gradually dimmed, and a powerful force surged into Chu Yang's body, merging with his soul.

"It's done!" Chu Yang suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light.

He felt a strange connection with Yingzhou Island, as if the fairy island had become a part of his body.

He can manipulate the array formations and restrictions on the island at will, and even change the island's topography.

From then on, Yingzhou Island, one of the legendary three immortal islands, became Chu Yang's possession.

Chu Yang stood up, looked around, and a smile appeared on his face.

With this immortal island as his foundation, his strength will be greatly enhanced, and he will be able to establish himself better in the immortal realm in the future.

For some reason, Chu Yang felt a sense of unease, but the stone tablet had already been refined, and the immortal island was already his. Even if there was danger, it would be of no use!

"Next, it's time to explore this immortal island properly, but first I need to fill in the weak points of that formation!" Chu Yang thought to himself.

The reason Chu Yang was able to "sneak in" was entirely due to this weak point. The chaotic spiritual energy on the island caused a loophole in the island's protective array, which in turn caused a change in space, ultimately leading to Chu Yang's discovery.

After Chu Yang refined the stone tablet, the protective array of Yingzhou Island appeared to him like a peeled egg, revealing every detail.

That weak point was caused by the disorder of the earth's spiritual energy, resulting in the array patterns being discontinuous, like a hole in a piece of clothing.

"I see," Chu Yang's lips curled up slightly, "Now that you know, things will be much easier."

He casually picked up a few pieces of array materials, using his fingers as a pen and his magic power as ink, and began to outline the damaged array patterns.

The pure magical power flowed like a gentle stream, slowly repairing the damaged array patterns.

Golden magic flowed from Chu Yang's fingertips, like liquid gold, filling the gaps in the array patterns. The damaged array patterns were gradually repaired, and the originally chaotic spiritual energy gradually calmed down. The light of the island-protecting array became more and more stable, radiating a natural and powerful aura.

Just as the last array pattern was about to be completed and the great array was about to be completely repaired, a sudden change occurred!

On the stone tablet, the runes that had been dimmed suddenly burst forth with a dazzling red light, and a vast, ocean-like pressure instantly swept across the entire Yingzhou Island.

This oppressive aura was ancient and domineering, carrying an aura that could burn the heavens and earth, making it almost impossible for Chu Yang to breathe.

"What happened?"

Chu Yang was startled and quickly withdrew his magic power, looking warily at the stone tablet.

The red light on the stone tablet grew stronger and stronger, eventually transforming into a huge phantom of a fire phoenix, which roared to the sky.

The phantom of the fire phoenix was incredibly lifelike, with wingspans reaching hundreds of feet, and its entire body engulfed in raging flames, as if it were about to burn the entire sky to ashes.

Chu Yang was stunned by this sudden change. He instinctively sensed a dangerous aura, and the phantom of the fire phoenix gave him an irresistible sense of oppression.

"Could it be the lingering resentment of the Phoenix Ancestor?" A thought flashed through Chu Yang's mind.

He recalled feeling an ancient and powerful aura when he was refining the stone tablet. Now it seemed that it must have been the residual power of the Phoenix Ancestor.

The phantom of the fire phoenix hovered in the air for a moment before suddenly swooping down and heading straight for Chu Yang.

Chu Yang's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly activated all the magic power in his body, transforming it into a golden light in an attempt to dodge the fire phoenix's attack.

However, the fire phoenix was too fast, and Chu Yang had no time to dodge. He was instantly swallowed up by the phantom of the fire phoenix.

Chu Yang felt a surge of intense heat enter his body, as if it would burn him to ashes.

He quickly activated the "Nirvana Rebirth Technique" to resist this destructive force.

"Damn it! The lingering resentment of the Phoenix Ancestor is too strong!" Chu Yang cursed inwardly.

Now Chu Yang finally understood the source of that unease. Without guessing, he knew it was the lingering resentment left behind by the Phoenix Ancestor!

He originally thought that by refining the stone tablet, he would be able to completely control Yingzhou Island, but he never expected this to happen.

However, Chu Yang is not one to give up easily.

Chu Yang gritted his teeth and fully activated the "Nirvana Rebirth Technique," causing the phoenix bloodline within his body to boil and fight against the scorching power.

Time passed second by second, and Chu Yang felt as if he were in a furnace, where he could be burned to ashes at any moment.

Just then, a faint ripple silently flew into Chu Yang's mind.

This ripple-like attack contained a hint of madness, a hint of greed, and a hint of a successful conspiracy.

"Heh heh... Finally, there are living beings..."

A chilling voice echoed in Chu Yang's mind, like a cold wind from the deepest hell, instantly dispelling the surrounding heat.

Chu Yang was startled. The voice did not come from Phoenix Ancestor, but from another, more ancient and evil being.

"Who are you?" Chu Yang asked in his mind as he looked at the figure that appeared in his mind.

"I am the Chaos Demon God, Yuan Tu!" The voice carried a hint of arrogance and madness. "Boy, you are lucky to have become my target."

Chaos Demon God? Yuan Tu? Chu Yang's heart was filled with shock. He finally understood that the unsettling aura was not the remnant will of the Phoenix Ancestor, but a terrifying being from the Chaos Era!

"Weren't the Chaos Gods all killed by the Great God Pangu?" Chu Yang wondered and couldn't help but ask.

"Hmph, Pangu, you brat, dare to kill me?" Yuan Tu's remnant soul seemed to be enraged. "I am the embodiment of the Law of Wrath, how could I perish so easily? Back then, when Pangu created the world, I was caught off guard and suppressed by him, but I eventually escaped. Unfortunately, my strength is now only a fraction of what it used to be, and I can only hide on this Yingzhou Island to eke out a living and recover my strength."

Yuan Tu's voice was filled with resentment and bitterness, as if he wanted to unleash his endless rage.

Chu Yang thought to himself, "So that's how it is. The island-guarding stone tablet on Yingzhou Island actually seals the remnant soul of a Chaos Demon God!"

"The Chaos God... Pangu..."

Chu Yang murmured to himself, these names that only existed in legends were now truly appearing before him.

"You want to possess me?" Chu Yang asked coldly, staring directly at Yuan Tu's illusory figure.

"Hehehe... You're very clever."

Yuan Tu did not deny it, and the remnant soul let out a sharp laugh: "Your physical body is very suitable for me."

Yuan Tu had stayed inside the stone tablet for too long; his body had long since disappeared, and now only this last remnant of his soul remained.

Chu Yang's divine body, after being tempered by the undying flame and cultivating the "Nirvana Rebirth Technique," is already much stronger than others of the same level.

"With just this remnant soul of yours?"

Chu Yang sneered, though he was terrified inside, he showed no emotion on the surface.

"Hmph, brat, don't be so arrogant!" Yuan Tu's remnant soul roared, unleashing a wave of pressure to suppress Chu Yang. "I am a Chaos Demon God, and even a mere remnant soul is not something an ant like you can contend with!"

Chu Yang felt a tightness in his chest, as if a powerful force was about to crush him. He gritted his teeth, struggling to keep from collapsing.

"Back then, I was suppressed by that brat Pangu, and my strength was greatly diminished, which gave that Phoenix Ancestor an opportunity to take advantage!"

Yuan Tu's tone was filled with resentment and bitterness, "However, now that Phoenix Ancestor has also fallen, no one in this world can stop me!"

"Boy, obediently hand over your body, and you'll suffer less!"

Yuan Tu urged impatiently, a greedy aura emanating from his remnant soul, as if he already considered Chu Yang's body as his own.

"If you want my physical body, let's see if you have the ability!" A ruthless glint flashed in Chu Yang's eyes, and his internal magic power surged wildly, pushing the "Nirvana Rebirth Technique" to its limit.

Since we can't avoid it, let's take a gamble!

Within Chu Yang's soul, there exists a Soul Palace, which can withstand any soul attack.

"Hmph, overestimating yourself!" Yuan Tu sneered, his remnant soul transforming into a streak of black light, heading straight for Chu Yang's sea of ​​consciousness.

Chu Yang felt a sharp pain in his head, as if he were being pricked by a needle.

"Hmph, Chaos Beast Yuan Tu, let you be arrogant for a while longer!"

Chu Yang persevered, unwilling to reveal his trump card again.

"Boy, your resistance is futile!"

Yuan Tu's voice echoed in Chu Yang's mind, "Submit obediently!"

Chu Yang groaned, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth.

He felt his consciousness being gradually eroded, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

"Heh heh... Give up, kid, you can't escape!"

The remnant soul of Yuan Tu let out a triumphant laugh, as if it could already see the dawn of victory.

Just then, the soul palace deep within the soul trembled violently, and a golden light emanated from the palace.

At the same time, Chu Yang from other planes were all immersed in their soul palaces, looking at the prehistoric Chu Yang.

"Well, another one coming to their death!"

"Which demonic giant is trying to possess this body? Little do they know, with our Soul Palace, even the strongest soul defense treasures that devour worlds are no match for us!"

"Judging from this aura, it should be a Chaos Demon God from the Primordial World. Look, that demon god is about to suffer!"

Many of the "Chu Yang" looked in the direction of Yuan Tu.

In fact, they had known about the wonders of the Soul Palace for a long time, so they were all very confident in their ability to attack souls.

The remnant soul of Yuan Tu was thrown backward by this sudden force, letting out a shrill scream.

"What the hell is this?!" His voice was filled with terror and disbelief, his previously confident tone completely gone.

Chu Yang groaned, the blood at the corner of his mouth still wet, but there was no panic in his eyes.

This palace of souls is his greatest trump card.

"Hmph, such a trivial skill, how dare you show off your amateurish abilities before an expert?"

Chu Yang sneered, his tone full of disdain.

The gentle light emanating from the Soul Palace, like a spring breeze, quickly repaired his damaged consciousness.

At the same time, a powerful suction force surged out from the palace, like a huge vortex, firmly locking Yuan Tu's remnant soul in place.

"No! Let me go! Do you know who I am? I am the Chaos Demon God Yuan Tu! You'll regret this if you treat me like this!"

Yuan Tu's remnant soul struggled frantically, like a trapped beast fighting back, letting out bursts of hysterical roars.

He threatened, he cursed, he even tried to fight back with his remaining strength, but it was all in vain.

The suction force of the Soul Palace grew stronger and stronger, and Yuan Tu's remnant soul was pulled little by little, as if it were being grabbed by an invisible hand and unable to break free.

He was horrified to discover that his pride and joy in his strength seemed so insignificant in the face of this suction force, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

"Regret? I, Chu Yang, never regret what I do!"

Chu Yang snorted coldly, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

He was no saint; he never showed mercy to his enemies.

"Aaaaah! I am one of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, how dare you..."

Yuan Tu's screams abruptly ceased. His remnant soul was completely devoured by the Soul Palace, transforming into pure soul energy that nourished Chu Yang's consciousness.

Chu Yang felt a cool sensation flow through his body, and his damaged consciousness instantly recovered, even becoming stronger than before.

Yuan Tu's memories also began to be transmitted into Chu Yang's mind. (End of this chapter)
