The lightning raged wildly on the island, as if it was the end of the world. In just ten breaths of time, it was as long as several centuries to Kong Yun.
"Boom!" The final explosion of the lightning ball caused the defenses that Kong Yun and Ye Shiya had constructed to instantly collapse.
At the instant the defense collapsed, Kong Yun threw Ye Shiya down, his entire body pressing down on Ye Shiya's body, and all the lightning that whistled past struck Kong Yun's body.
Kong Yun snorted and spat out a mouthful of blood. Ye Shiya looked at Kong Yun who was vomiting blood in horror. Kong Yun actually blocked all the lightning for her.
The lightning ball's aftermath finally dissipated. Kong Yun gritted his teeth and forcefully propped himself up. Fortunately, he had the golden armor to absorb 90% of the lightning. Otherwise, just the lightning ball's aftermath would have been enough to kill him hundreds of times.
Of course, the defenses he and Ye Shiya had constructed together had resisted most of the power. Otherwise, even with the golden armor, they would not be able to save him. They would be directly struck by the lightning. Even if he pressed Ye Shiya under his body, the two of them would be blasted to pieces by the lightning.
"Are you … are you alright?" Ye Shiya looked at Kong Yun with a complicated expression. At the last moment, Kong Yun used his body to endure all the lightning. If it wasn't for this, she might have already died. Although it was only a remnant of her strength, it was still not something she could block.
"It's fine. My special ability is characterized by a strong defense. I can't die from this small injury!" Kong Yun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing that Ye Shiya's face was full of blood, Kong Yun smiled embarrassedly, "I'm sorry."
Ye Shiya glared at Kong Yun, "Since when do you still have the mood to joke?"
Kong Yun chuckled, "If we don't die in a catastrophe, we will definitely be blessed. We've all survived this war of annihilation. What else can kill us?"
The battle between the Azure Flood Dragon and the mysterious mutated beast on the island was not an exaggeration to call it a battle of annihilation. Even the battle between the twelve S-class Adepts and the General-class Giant Eagle a few decades ago did not have such a great momentum. An island was completely destroyed, and the creatures on the island were almost extinct.
If it wasn't for Kong Yun and Ye Shiya's desperate efforts to build up their defenses, Kong Yun would have advanced after refining the basalt iron, and both of them would have been responsible for this island.
When the lightning dissipated, the Azure Flood Dragon had long since disappeared. Even if the Azure Flood Dragon discovered that Kong Yun and the others were still alive, it would not have any reaction towards these two ant-like humans. They were too weak and were not on the same level at all.
"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!" The Fire Phoenix in Kong Yun's embrace was filled with fear. It was also a mutated beast. However, the difference between the warrior level and general level was simply too great. Just the pressure emitted by the Azure Dragon had already caused the Fire Phoenix to lose its fighting strength.
"Cough cough cough!" Kong Yun coughed out a few more mouthfuls of blood. The power of thunder was still wreaking havoc in his body, but under the operation of the Imperial Sword Technique, these thunder were all converting into abilities.
"We're rich!" Kong Yun's mouth twitched.
Ye Shiya nodded, "I am indeed rich!"
With Ye Shiya's personality, she was actually able to say such words. It could be imagined how high the value of what they were about to obtain was!
Kong Yun and the others survived the Azure Flood Dragon's World Extermination Strike. However, the mutated beasts on the island weren't so lucky. They almost died under that strike. Although some of the mutated beasts' bodies were crushed by the lightning, they still had quite a few mutated beast corpses left behind.
There were simply too many mutated beasts on this island. Even if only 10% of the mutated beasts' corpses were left, there were still thousands of them. Thousands of mutated beasts meant thousands of mutated beasts' cores, and the cores of warrior-level mutated beasts!
Thousands of warrior-level mutated beasts. What terrifying power was that? Even if they searched all of China, they might not be able to find thousands of warrior-level mutated beasts, let alone kill thousands of warrior-level mutated beasts.
The Ye Clan was already one of the top clans in Haimen City. The storage capacity of the entire clan's taxi-level mutated beast crystal cores would not exceed twenty. Even the Ye Clan was still like this, let alone other clans in Haimen City.
The value of these thousands of warrior-level mutated beasts' cores had even surpassed the Ye Clan's. Furthermore, these warrior-level mutated beasts' cores were things that even rich people could not buy.
"Work!" Kong Yun waved his arm and dissected the corpses. The fist-sized cores were placed on the beach and piled up into a small hill.
Kong Yun endured the pain and emptied the spatial ring. He threw out all the materials from the mutated beast and put the crystal core inside.
The entire island was almost razed to the ground. Especially in the center of the island, there was a large crater about ten kilometers in diameter. The Azure Flood Dragon's lightning ball landed here. This was the most powerful area. Everything was destroyed by the lightning ball's power.
Around the crater, golden arcs occasionally flickered. It was the power left behind by the lightning ball. Although it was only the power left behind, it could not be underestimated. Even if an Adept touched these arcs, they would still be wiped out.
However, Kong Yun relied on his golden armor to absorb all of the flickering arcs of lightning. These were all pure abilities. After absorbing them, it would be of great benefit to him. He might even be able to break through.
"Eh!" Ye Shiya was shocked, a purple light flashed at the bottom of the pit.
Although it was only an instant, it was caught by Ye Shiya. Bing Yu spread out and her wings flapped. Ye Shiya turned into a ray of light blue light and rushed to the bottom of the pit.
The crater could be said to be bottomless. The Azure Dragon's lightning ball had almost pierced through this island!
Kong Yun gathered the energy of the electric arc at the edge of the pit while looking at the bottomless pit. He didn't know if Ye Shiya would be in any danger if she went down.
However, Kong Yun didn't have the ability to fly. Who would have thought that Ye Shiya would have the ability to fly after becoming an S-class Adept? Kong Yun salivated with envy.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Ye Shiya finally flew up, holding two purple crystals in her hand.
"What is this?" Kong Yun asked.
"It should be the mutated beast's crystal core, right?" Ye Shiya herself was not sure.
"That mutated beast?" Kong Yun frowned slightly. The general-level mutated beast in the depths of the island did not reveal its true appearance, but the purple vines alone could not be underestimated.
If this purple crystal was really the crystal core of that General-level mutated beast, then these two crystal cores were priceless treasures. There were only two of them in the whole of China.
According to the old rules, one for each person. However, the moment the purple crystal core was taken over, it actually melted. The willow branch in Kong Yun's body suddenly rushed out from Kong Yun's finger, wanting to escape from Kong Yun's body.
The melting purple core suddenly wrapped around the willow branch. The purple light gradually seeped into the willow branch, and the purple light flourished!
"No, damn it, my …" The willow tree roared angrily. The willow branch he distributed was actually swallowed.
Even though these willows were separated from the willow tree, they were still connected to the willow tree and could continuously provide energy for the willow tree.
Back then, when the willow tree gave Kong Yun a willow branch, it didn't have any good intentions. Although this willow branch could help Kong Yun, the willow tree also wanted to obtain benefits from Kong Yun.
However, this willow branch had been devoured by the purple crystal core, and the connection between the two had been completely severed.
Although he was incomparably furious, the willow tree had no other choice. The other party's strength was not inferior to him, and even surpassed him.
"Isn't that the purple vine?" When the purple light dissipated, the willow between his fingers turned into a purple vine.
This purple vine was very tough and possessed extraordinary strength. Those mutated beasts that weighed tens of thousands of kilograms could easily lift it. Apart from being stronger than willows, Kong Yun really didn't notice any other changes.
Although he felt a little uneasy in his heart, since it had already happened, it was useless to think too much about it.
"I found a lot of basalt iron under this pit." Ye Shiya said.
"Really!" Kong Yun's eyes lit up. Previously, he had guessed that there were plenty of ore veins on this island. Originally, he had planned to refine them bit by bit, but he didn't expect that it would be saved.
The power of the Azure Flood Dragon's lightning ball was simply too shocking. When it landed, the surrounding area was like a furnace. The basalt iron underground had been tempered and condensed into a single piece, saving Kong Yun a lot of effort.
This piece of basalt iron was simply too large. According to preliminary estimates, its area was at least 10,000 square meters. After refining this piece of basalt iron, Kong Yun dared to guarantee that he would definitely be able to enter the S-class!
"After I become an [S] class Adept, we should be able to leave this island!" Kong Yun said. With the strength of two S-class Adepts, as long as they were careful, it shouldn't be a problem to cross an ocean.
Ye Shiya nodded. Kong Yun's strength had become stronger, so their chances of survival would be higher. However, it would take a lot of time to refine such a large piece of basalt iron, even a year or two.
However, there was no need to worry about the food. Ye Shiya casually froze a dozen mutated beasts. The meat of these ten mutated beasts should be enough for them to eat for a long time.
Kong Yun took a deep breath and transformed into a metal body. He kicked his legs and jumped into the pit!
After a while, Kong Yun's feet stepped on something, but something strange happened. Kong Yun's body did not stop, but directly entered the basalt iron!
The surrounding basalt iron began to soften and slowly seeped into Kong Yun's body. A whirlpool actually appeared on the hard basalt iron, and Kong Yun was at the center of the whirlpool.
Ye Shiya sat at the entrance of the pit, holding a light blue crystal core in her hand. She was also seizing the time to cultivate!
