Chapter 598: Chapter 598: One Hundred Thousand Inner Cores!_1

The so-called Demonic Beast Core was merely a test; the real treasure was hidden beneath the colossal island.

It was information from the Capital City Martial Arts Association, and it was undoubtedly accurate.

Gazing at the sea, Jordan Richards became increasingly uneasy.

He would not be at peace without seeing Ethan Smith’s corpse with his own eyes.

…

In the water.

Ethan Smith’s blood dyed the surrounding water red.

He struggled to open his eyes, still hanging on to the Venerable Fifth Mountain from his chest.

“Saved my life again…” Ethan Smith murmured, gently caressing the Venerable Fifth Mountain.

He tried to move his body, and pain instantly surged from all over his body.

Under the water’s attack, the wounds were unbearable.

He stared at his surroundings, which were pitch black.

Then, Ethan Smith cast the Water Repelling Charm, igniting a spiritual fire underwater.

Ethan tried to stabilize his body in the water, preventing himself from continuing to fall.

He looked up at the sky, but it was all pitch black above.

This meant that Ethan had fallen deep into the seabed.

If it were not for his powerful physical body, he would have been crushed into a pulp by the water pressure long ago.

“In my current condition, if I encounter a Demonic Beast… I will undoubtedly die.” Ethan furrowed his brows.

He took out the pill furnace given by the Pavilion Master from his Spatial Magic Artifact, along with the long-stored herbs.

“I can only use a Pill to heal my body.” Ethan whispered.

Ethan painfully tossed the herbs into the pill furnace, igniting the spiritual fire, and began refining the Pill.

The Pill that Ethan refined was called Blood Clotting Pill, a simple kind of Pill that could be refined using ordinary herbs.

“Ah, using these herbs to refine the Blood Clotting Pill… what a waste.” Ethan couldn’t help but feel heartache.

However, he no longer had the luxury to care about that; recovering his physical body as quickly as possible was crucial.

…

In the latter part of the night.

Dudley Lynch sprang up from the ocean surface.

He walked over to Jordan Richards, shook his head, and said, “I didn’t find him. I guess he’s already fallen to the seabed.”

Jordan shot Dudley a glance and coldly replied, “Keep looking.”

“Captain Richards, please trust me. That strike was definitely enough to kill Ethan Smith,” Dudley said softly.

Jordan Richards coldly replied, “This kid often escapes death. I won’t be at ease until I see his corpse.”

Although Dudley was reluctant, he could only follow Jordan Richards’ request and dive back into the ocean.

After an unknown period, Ethan finally completed refining eight Blood Clotting Pills.

Without wasting any time, Ethan immediately swallowed the Pills into his abdomen.

The moment the Pills entered his stomach, his body visibly began to slowly recover.

After a full three hours, Ethan’s breath had gradually restored more than half.

“Survive a great disaster and obtain good fortune.” Ethan took a deep breath.

He looked up at the sky but did not hurry to leave.

“If I can’t remove this Bracelet, going up there will be a dead end.” Ethan frowned.

He tried to use brute force to remove the Bracelet, only to find it impossible.

The Bracelet seemed to blend with his skin, making it impossible to remove.

“Do I have to wear this Bracelet forever?” Ethan scrunched his eyebrows tightly.

But soon, Ethan came to his senses.

“No, this Bracelet must have a time limit. Otherwise, the Capital City Martial Arts Association could virtually rule everyone using this Bracelet!” Ethan whispered.

As Ethan thought, this Bracelet indeed had a time limit.

If it were permanent, it would be considered a divine artifact.

“I can only wait for now.” Ethan said solemnly.

“The moment this Bracelet loses its effect, it will be Dudley Lynch’s time to die.”

Although Ethan didn’t know if his guess was correct, there was nothing else he could do but wait for now.

He controlled the Water Repelling technique, so there was no significant risk under the sea.

Ethan unleashed his divine sense, covering a large area of ​​the surrounding sea surface, capturing one breath after another.

Soon, Ethan sensed the auras of several Marquis.

“These auras should be from the island above.” Ethan thought to himself.

Marquis were rare, let alone in such remote places. The only possibility of finding marquis here was Jordan Richards and his party.

Following these auras, Ethan swam over. About an hour later, Ethan saw the huge island in front of him.

The island was vast, and even more surprisingly, it was suspended in the water.

“Strange.” Ethan unwittingly became shocked.

“Rootless Island? Then how is this island fixed in one position?”

Sea storms were common, and if it was rootless, it should be constantly changing positions, right?

“This island isn’t simple.” Ethan touched his chin, then urged his spiritual power to approach the island.

As the distance to the island below grew closer, Ethan’s view began to brighten.

In front of him, it seemed as if countless lanterns were lit up, although the light was dim, on this island, it looked extremely bizarre.

“Huh? What are those lights?” As he approached the island, Ethan unexpectedly discovered that below the island were rows of faint lights!

Looking closely, there were beads condensed below the island!

At a glance, the beads were dense and countless!

“Could this be… Night-luminescent Pearl?” Ethan couldn’t help but be puzzled.

He hurried to the island below and carefully observed.

The beads weren’t large, merely the size of glass balls, and all the beads were attached to the island.

Ethan reached out, plucked a bead, and in an instant, a surge of qi wafted out.

Ethan was stunned, then a flash of excitement appeared in his eyes.

“Could it be… this is the inner core?!” Ethan exclaimed!

Ethan didn’t dare to think too much. He hastily swallowed the core into his stomach.

As expected, a surge of qi exploded in Ethan’s dantian!

“It’s… it’s really an inner core!” Ethan excitedly shouted!

This island was vast, and the inner cores completely covered the bottom of the island!

At a glance, there was an innumerable number of inner cores, at least tens of thousands!

“Rich… I’m rich!” Ethan was overjoyed, elated!

It was hard to imagine such a massive number of inner cores!
