It was impossible to tell how much time had passed—perhaps a few days, perhaps a dozen or more.
Chen Xuan lay prone on the white sands of an island, remaining unconscious. Fortunately, no demonic beast had come to devour him in all this time, as the roar of the primordial spirit beast Kui Ni had either killed or severely crippled every beast within a ten-thousand-mile radius of these waters. Even Chen Xuan, who had already broken through to the Void Return stage, had nearly been shaken to death by that roar; and this was only because his soul was far stronger than that of other cultivators at his level.
As for the sixth-rank demonic beasts, whose strength matched that of Void Return stage cultivators, they were either dead or maimed. The top-tier beasts of the seventh rank and above, realizing that a primordial spirit beast had been enraged, dared not remain in these waters. They had fled at the first opportunity, burying themselves in the deep sea or hiding within island caverns, unwilling to show their faces for a year or more.
