Despite being in a weakened state, a Sage Ruler's soul energy was not to be underestimated. Just like the demonic pus, the energy was stored within Chu Kuangren's body, awaiting its time for Chu Kuangren to use to cultivate the Supreme Sage Foundation Level.

Then, Chu Kuangren stored the Serpent Deity's corpse in his Yin and Yang Ring.

On top of the Nine-Headed Snakelet that Chu Kuangren had previously acquired, he now possessed two Sage Ruler Grade corpses aside from the Boundary Emperor's body he found on the unnamed island. These will form the essential ingredients that Chu Kuangren needed for the Supreme Sage Foundation Level.

“Now all that's left to deal with is you lots.”

Chu Kuangren stared at the Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands' Chieftains in the air.

His eyes were burning with ice-cold killing intent, which caused the Chieftains to attempt to flee. However, they soon realized that they were unable to move their bodies.

“Chu Kuangren… W-what are you planning to do?”

The talon-shaped nose old man gulped and said.

Chu Kuangren had just slain the Serpent Deity. There was no way they would think of fighting Chu Kuangren now.

The youngster who stood before them was nothing but a terrifying being!

A being whose terror was unprecedented!

“All of you, end yourselves.”

Chu Kuangren said calmly.

The Chieftains widened their eyes.

“Chu Kuangren, please let us go.”

One of the Chieftains pleaded helplessly for his life.

“Chu Kuangren, we haven't offended you directly. There's no need to do this to us just for a bunch of commoners.”

“We, the Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands, have many Sages backing us as well.”

“Chu Kuangren, must you be so merciless?”

The Chieftains each took their turns to convince Chu Kuangren.

Chu Kuangren merely responded with indifference, “If you end yourselves now, your orthodoxies will continue to survive. Otherwise, all Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands shall perish within the ocean!”

The ocean roared ferociously as soon as he said those words. Giant waves formed on the surface as if the ocean was resonating with Chu Kuangren's threat.

Wielding the Sea King's Halberd, Chu Kuangren was the master of the ocean!

No one below the level of an Emperor was capable of fighting him in the ocean now!

Since the Thirty-Six Oceanic Island Chieftains lived close to the ocean, they were no different as well. Forget about the Sages, not even the Bottomless Chasm was a match for Chu Kuangren.

The Chieftains were mortified.

After witnessing Chu Kuangren's capability, none of them doubted his ability to follow through with his threat!

“Chu Kuangren, is there no room for negotiation at all?”

One of the Chieftains said helplessly.

Swoosh…

At that instance, a white figure dashed out from nowhere, charging at Chu Kuangren with at least a Sage-level speed. It was the Whitesmoke Island Chieftain.

The usually kind-hearted Whitesmoke Island Chieftain was now brewing with vicious ferocity.

The Whitesmoke Island Chieftain hurled a poison dagger at Chu Kuangren. Its poison was powerful enough to kill a Sage!

“Chu Kuangren, die!”

The Whitesmoke Island Chieftain said maniacally.

Chu Kuangren stared ahead and waved his Sea King's Halberd lightly.

A powerful torrential force was unleashed to form a large water orb that encased the Whitesmoke Island Chieftain in it.

Within the water orb, the Whitesmoke Island Chieftain struggled desperately but to no avail. Just like a person who was about to drown, he frantically thrashed the water with his limbs.

Chu Kuangren extended his hand into the orb and grabbed the dagger in the Chieftain's hand before Chu Kuangren sank the blade slowly into the Chieftain's chest.

The poison worked its way into the Chieftain's body. Instantly, his face turned purple, and as he bled from all his orifices, he took his last breath.

In the end, the Chieftain died in his own dagger.

“Which island does this Chieftain belong to?”

Chu Kuangren asked calmly.

The remaining Chieftains looked at one another.

Unable to tolerate the oppressive aura that filled the air anymore, one of the Chieftains said with a trembling voice, “The white… the Whitesmoke Island.”

“Whitesmoke Island, I see.”

The crowd was puzzled for a moment about what Chu Kuangren was planning to do.

Then, Chu Kuangren simply closed his eyes and spread his spiritual thoughts outwards into the ocean. Not only could the Sea King's Halberd allow Chu Kuangren to 'see' the entire ocean, but Chu Kuangren could hear every sound that resided within as well.

Soon, Chu Kuangren locked into the position of Whitesmoke Island.

On the surface, Whitesmoke Island looked like a paradise. However, with Chu Kuangren's spiritual thought unveiling its facade, he realized that the island was filled with filth and vermin. The cultivators were cunning and at odds with each other. Some of them even cultivated evil techniques.

Besides that, Chu Kuangren also saw some elders using children as ingredients in their medicinal pills.

Paradise?

No, that was a demonic hub!

A demonic hub that was far eviler and hid itself better than the demonic orthodoxies!

“Down with you!”

Chu Kuangren said firmly.

A terrifying tsunami erupted more than ten thousand kilometers away, charging ferociously towards Whitesmoke Island.

Having sensed its presence, the cultivators of the Whitesmoke Island immediately descended into a state of panic.

“What's going on?!” The Whitesmoke Island's Sage rushed out to the sh.o.r.e only to see a megatsunami that had eclipsed the sun.

“Hurry, activate the Island Defense Mega Formation!”

The Whitesmoke Island's Sage screamed.

An enormous white barrier immediately enveloped the island within.

Alas, it was a futile measure.

The defensive formation was just like a harmless bubble in the face of the terrifying tsunami. When the wave came cras.h.i.+ng down, the formation was instantly shattered into smithereens!

The water then began to sink the entire island. In just a few seconds, its tremendous force had destroyed the island's foundation, and countless disciples who were crushed by the waves were smashed into dead pulps!

The Whitesmoke Island's Sage was no better too. He had dealt a huge blow from the tsunami. With blood bleeding from his mouth, he stared into the ocean with a deep sense of hatred and yelled, “Why? What has Whitesmoke Island ever done to deserve this?!”

“Oh, Serpent Deity, why didn't you protect us?!”

Never would he have thought that the calamity that struck his island was the result of his Chieftain's desperate attempt to stay alive.

The Serpent Deity was long slain by Chu Kuangren's Halberd!

Just like that, a tsunami had wiped Whitesmoke Island out of existence!

All of this was triggered by a single spiritual thought from Chu Kuangren, who was standing ten thousand kilometers away!

The destruction of Whitesmoke Island had garnered the attention of the remaining Island Sages as well. With their spiritual thoughts, they began to search the ocean for the root cause of that tsunami.

In the Serpent Deity's Oceanic Domain, the talon-shaped nose old man watched in horror. “Whitesmoke Island… is gone!”

Now, the remaining Chieftains were even more terrified as they trembled helplessly. Chu Kuangren was nothing but an evil monster to them.

They knew that it was all Chu Kuangren's doing!

With the Sea King's Halberd, Chu Kuangren could practically play G.o.d, commanding the entire ocean and wiping a faraway island out of existence.

“Chu Kuangren, you're a monster! How could you destroy Whitesmoke Island for these sacrificial offerings? Those were hundreds of thousands of human lives!”

One of the island Chieftains asked.

“So what if it is?”

“I believe this isn't the first time the Serpent Deity's Sacrificial Ceremony was held. Do you dare to suggest that the number of human sacrifices that you've offered is less than a million?!” Chu Kuangren snarked coldly.

The Chieftain could not refute those words.

“This is your last chance. End yourselves, or we shall witness a few more tsunamis!” Chu Kuangren said calmly.

“All of you, end yourselves.”

At that moment, a voice echoed from above.

One of the Chieftains was surprised. “It's the Sages!”

“End yourself!”

“End yourself!”

Soon, more and more voices joined in the chorus.

Those were the voices of the Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands Sages. With each voice affirming Chu Kuangren's suggestion, the Chieftains' faces turned even paler.

At last, they were left with no hope.

Even their Sages wanted them dead!
