Devil Island.
As space rippled subtly, a spatial rift opened.
Fang Yang, accompanied by Gu Yuena and Na'er, stepped out of the Void Realm and onto this legendary forbidden land.
An indescribable sense of oppression immediately enveloped them from all directions.
"Brother, is this Devil Island?" Na'er asked softly, holding Fang Yang's arm.
Her heterochromatic eyes curiously surveyed their surroundings, with a hint of wariness.
As far as the eye could see, the island was covered in dense vegetation, mostly coniferous forests, appearing lush at first glance.
However, whether it was the towering trees, the low-lying shrubs, or the solid ground beneath their feet, everything was a deep, ink-black, as if dyed by the darkest ink.
This pure black, under the daylight, did not appear bright; instead, it exuded a chilling dead silence.
This made the entire island appear ghostly and daunting, even during the day.
"Yes, this is it."
Fang Yang nodded, his gaze sweeping over the environment.
His purpose for this trip was not for the so-called trials; his true objective was to refine this island.
Gu Yuena stood silently beside him, a ripple of emotion passing through her purple eyes.
She quietly sensed the abnormality in this world.
The three slowly moved forward. The environment here was very strange; the elemental force around them had been stripped away.
All Qi seemed normal, but the energy of heaven and earth was completely gone, as if thoroughly drained by some invisible force.
"Oh? This is…"
Fang Yang's gaze suddenly shot towards the depths of Devil Island.
At the end of this endless black forest, a shimmering purplish-black light was vaguely visible, emanating a heart-palpitating aura.
"This is the divine force of the God of Destruction, and this rich vitality is from the God of Life…"
Gu Yuena frowned slightly. As the former Dragon God, her perception of the divine force of the God King of Destruction and the God King of Life was naturally not low.
These two forces, which should have been mutually exclusive, were strangely intertwined here, forming a dangerous balance.
"Alright, let's go."
Fang Yang took Gu Yuena's and Na'er's hands respectively.
In the next instant, the surrounding scenery twisted and changed like water ripples; they were no longer in their original spot.
They had crossed an invisible boundary and entered another isolated space.
This was a massive valley, where the light was even dimmer than outside.
The air was filled with a strange force field formed by the intertwining of the divine force of destruction and life, chaotic and powerful.
The purplish-black destructive energy and the verdant life force intertwined and collided in the air, sometimes erupting with dazzling light, and other times falling into a dead silence.
"Hehehe… I didn't expect that after so many years, outsiders could still break in here."
An old figure slowly emerged from the valley.
He was about 1.8 meters tall, with a hunched figure, disheveled white hair hanging down, and a face covered in deep wrinkles, looking aged and frail.
He held an ordinary wooden walking stick, and his eyes were remarkably clear, not cloudy at all.
"No…"
The strange smile on the old man's face suddenly vanished, his brows furrowed tightly, and the hand holding the walking stick unconsciously tightened, "Your three's strength… I actually can't see through it at all?"
His heart was secretly filled with awe, confusion, and vigilance.
He had never encountered such a situation before.
The aura of these three was like a deep ocean, calm on the surface, but containing a power that made his heart palpitate.
"They don't look old. Could it be that they are not people sent by Shrek Academy to undergo trials?" The old man thought to himself, his divine force circulating, ready to strike at any moment.
"Are these the Seven Deadly Sins formed by the erosion of the God of Destruction's divine force? Surviving by relying on the divine force of life."
Fang Yang saw through the situation at a glance.
These beings were originally Mortals, but under the erosion of destructive divine force, they had undergone an anomaly.
If not for the sustenance of the divine force of life, they would have probably turned to ashes long ago.
"That's right."
Gu Yuena nodded upon hearing this.
A Mortal body could not withstand destructive divine force without dying; only the protection of the divine force of life could explain all of this.
"What are you mumbling about?" The Demon of Annihilation squinted his eyes, his tone clearly displeased.
"Alright, there's nothing for you to do."
Fang Yang said lightly, his tone calm yet carrying an unquestionable authority.
"Boy, you're courting death!"
The Demon of Annihilation was furious.
He condensed a purplish-black destructive force in his hand; the energy was violent and dangerous, as if it could tear everything apart.
Fang Yang spoke blandly: "Devour."
A deep, black flame, as if capable of devouring everything, emerged out of thin air. It transformed into a black flame vortex, instantly devouring the destructive force and turning it into nothingness.
"This…"
The Demon of Annihilation's pupils contracted sharply, watching the scene before him in disbelief.
His proud Annihilation Force had been so easily neutralized by the opponent.
"The other six, come out together."
Fang Yang said calmly, as if he had just done a trivial thing.
After devouring this destructive force, he perceived that it did not contain pure destructive divine force, but a lower-level energy, Annihilation Force.
It seemed that these beings, relying on the divine force of life, absorbed the destructive force and transformed into the incomplete forms of the Seven Deadly Sins.
"Boy, you…"
The Demon of Annihilation gritted his teeth, his anger reaching its peak, "Brothers, come out!"
Subsequently, six figures slowly emerged from the valley.
Each had an aura similar to the Demon of Annihilation, yet each carried different characteristics.
The Demon of Devour, the Demon of Hatred, the Demon of Nightmare, the Demon of Desire, the Demon of Sloth, and the Demon of Greed.
With the Seven Demons gathered, the atmosphere of the entire valley immediately became even more oppressive.
"Gu Yue, Na'er, I'll handle this." Fang Yang said softly.
"Mm."
Gu Yuena and Na'er both nodded, full of confidence in Fang Yang's strength.
The Demon of Nightmare made the first move, a cunning glint flashing in his eyes.
In his palm, a dark purple light flickered and disappeared.
Mental Domain, Nightmare!
Within the Nightmare Domain, anyone would fall into the most tragic past of their life, unable to extricate themselves, sinking into endless despair.
And when deeply immersed in the Domain, unless the Demon of Nightmare intervened, one could only escape by their own willpower; otherwise, they would never awaken… The dark purple light rapidly spread, enveloping Fang Yang.
The Demon of Nightmare's mouth curved into a triumphant smile; no one could easily break free from his Nightmare Domain.
However, Fang Yang merely stood still, his expression unchanged.
"Boring."
He gently shook his head, a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
The Demon of Nightmare's smile froze on his face.
He felt that the moment his Domain power touched Fang Yang, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, disappearing without a trace.
