River City, Purple Immortal Island.
A golden beam of light erupted from the center of the island and shot into the sky. The intense energy illuminated half the sky.
Her curvaceous figure flew into the air, bathed in golden light. She was hazy, beautiful, holy, and powerful.
"Mom, what's that?" On an island controlled by the empire, a little girl with a round face looked up at the golden light curiously.
"Ascension Platform!" Someone answered the little girl's question.
All the humans who lived on the islands near the Purple Immortal Island knew that the Ascension Platform had been activated once a month. Not only could it strengthen their Physique without any side effects, but it could also purify their spiritual power and increase their talent.
Every time they saw the light beam of the Ascension Platform, they would have an urge to ascend the Ascension Platform and purify their bodies.
However, they did not dare to!
The master of the Purple Immortal Island was the Golden Carp King!
They might not have known how terrifying the Golden Carp King was a few days ago. After all, the world was changing rapidly. The monsters that were very strong yesterday might have fallen far behind today.
However, in the battle on Soaring Cloud Island, the Golden Carp King had domineeringly proven his strength to the Hua Xia Empire and became the number one mutated creature on the rankings.
Originally, some humans who had designs on the Purple Immortal Island had completely given up.
They did not want to die so quickly.
In the month since the Golden Carp King left, the humans in River City once again felt the pressure brought by the mutated creatures and deep-sea beasts.
Without the intimidation of the Golden Carp King, countless powerful mutated creatures had arrived on the human island and slaughtered wantonly. Many people had died.
Some people who were originally dissatisfied with the Golden Carp King hoped that he could return to the Purple Immortal Island as soon as possible. They could not stand these days of hovering between life and death.
Luo Sea Island, where the main army of River City was stationed, could be said to be the safest island.
After the apocalypse, they were rarely attacked by giant beasts.
Commander Yang Qing'an understood very well that they were relying on the fact that they were close to the Purple Immortal Island. As long as the Golden Carp King was in River City, the giant beasts would not dare to enter.
However, now that the Golden Carp King had left for such a long time, the remnant pressure in River City gradually dissipated. Luo Sea Island also welcomed continuous dangers of various sizes.
Some giant beasts smelled the scent of humans and launched the most violent attack on the Luo Sea Island. Even the defensive array could not hold on anymore.
Fortunately, the Luo Sea Island was well-prepared and had a rich foundation. The people on the island were relatively strong, so they were able to withstand wave after wave of attacks.
"Heavens, when will the Golden Carp King return to River City?" A woman sighed.
"When the Golden Carp King was around, you thought that it was too domineering. When the Golden Carp King wasn't around, you prayed for it to come back." Someone chuckled.
"I was too short-sighted in the past and wrongly blamed Lord Golden Carp King." The woman looked ashamed and said, "When it comes back, I will definitely give it spirit stones as an apology."
"Your little bit of spirit stones are not even enough to fill the gaps between its teeth. It's better not to give it. Stay quiet and don't disturb the Golden Carp King. It's for the best help," that person continued.
At this moment, a terrifying and strange fluctuation came from the direction of the deep sea. It was as if some extremely powerful creature had appeared and was crazily attacking the seal. Black fog surged, and demonic faces flashed in the black fog, wanting to blot out the sky.
All living beings felt this fluctuation. The stronger the creature, the greater the fluctuation. Panic could not help but rise in their hearts, and the birds and beasts fled.
Even humans with low cultivation levels sensed something amiss and felt uneasy.
"Boom!"
Lightning filled the sky, and the heavens and the earth rumbled with anger.
"What happened in the deep sea?"
"Could a behemoth have broken through?"
"What kind of giant beast can cause such great power? Even the world is furious. Look, there's a ten-meter-thick lightning bolt striking the deep sea!"
Everyone discussed in fear.
On Luo Sea Island, Yang Qing'an suddenly stood up, came to the window, and looked at the deep sea.
"It's the Fog Island… The higher-ups had just issued an order to be on guard against the Fog Island yesterday, but something strange happened today." Yang Qing'an's expression was solemn, and he felt immense pressure.
"What should we do? There are a total of more than 400,000 people on our island. If we move, we will definitely suffer huge losses." The chief of staff was uncertain.
At the same time, a powerful aura suddenly burst forth from the Purple Immortal Island. Five-colored auspicious clouds gathered in the sky, and a peaceful aura spread throughout the islands of River City, forming a sharp contrast with the strange scene in the deep sea.
Yang Qing'an hurriedly looked at the Purple Immortal Island.
"Is the Golden Carp King back?" The chief of staff asked in surprise.
"I don't think so. The Golden Carp King was still on Soaring Cloud Island a few days ago. It shouldn't be back so soon," Yang Qing'an said.
"Then this is…"
The chief of staff thought of something and took out a fixed telescope. After setting up the frame, he looked at the Purple Immortal Island.
A woman floated above the Ascension Platform. That auspicious aura erupted from her body.
Her strength was still rising.
"King… King Realm!"
"The little girl that the Golden Carp King brought to the Purple Immortal Island has broken through to the King Realm!"
Yang Qing'an and the chief of staff rushed to use the binoculars, their eyes wide open.
"Quickly call Xia Yujiao to confirm. Isn't she on the island?!" Yang Qing'an took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement.
A human breaking through to the King Realm was a great encouragement to them!
The first Human King appeared in River City and even the entire Hua Xia Empire. They had to report it to the Imperial Capital immediately.
On the Purple Immortal Island.
Xia Yujiao looked enviously at the beautiful and holy figure in the sky.
Zhang Xuanxuan's realm was improving too quickly!
Even she could not compare.
"She has heaven's blessing!" Xia Yujiao exclaimed.
After a few months of interaction, Xia Yujiao understood better than Zhang Beili how terrifying Zhang Xuanxuan's cultivation talent was. The Ascension Platform activated her special physique, and her cultivation speed increased by leaps and bounds. She happened to be in the era where spiritual energy erupted, and a few months was equivalent to hundreds of years of cultivation.
Most importantly, under the baptism of the Ascension Platform, Zhang Xuanxuan had cultivated to the peak of every realm and was incomparably stable.
Zhang Xuanxuan might very well be the first human in the Hua Xia Empire to cultivate to the King Realm!
"Ding dong dong!"
The phone rang. Xia Yujiao took out her phone. It was a call from Yang Qing'an.
"Hello, Commander Yang…" Before Xia Yujiao could finish, she was interrupted.
"Immortal Xia, may I ask if that young lady has really broken through to the King Realm?!" Yang Qing'an asked impatiently.
"That's right, she…" Xia Yujiao said a few words before a beeping sound came from the other end of the phone.
After Yang Qing'an confirmed it, he hung up the phone anxiously.
"F*ck, can you wait for me to finish my sentence!!!" A black line appeared on Xia Yujiao's forehead and she couldn't help but curse.
"Master, I've succeeded!"
The golden light on the Ascension Platform retracted and returned to normal.
Zhang Xuanxuan smiled and flew down from the sky. Her pure white immortal dress accentuated her peerless face, making it difficult for people to look away.
"I wonder if Brother's jaw will drop if he knows my current realm. Hehe," Zhang Xuanxuan said expectantly.
