The Ghost-Eating Sea Eagle is a seabird that likes to eat carrion, or rather, it also eats carrion.
The reason for this is that their combat ability far exceeds what their size would suggest.
In this sea area, they can always catch prey much larger than themselves. They cannot eat these prey quickly, so they have to store them. As the weather here is extreme, corpses rot easily, so over time, they have developed a habit of eating carrion.
At this moment, a Ghost-Eating Sea Eagle flew overhead, suddenly discovering a severely injured bipedal creature on the island below.
Its eagle eyes gave it super strong long-distance vision. Even from thousands of meters high in the sky, it could see the creature on the ground clearly.
It saw that the creature was covered in blood, head lowered, sitting there weakly.
The basic rule of living beings is that excessive blood loss leads to death. The Ghost-Eating Sea Eagle's hunter instinct told it that the creature below wouldn't live much longer.
Happy that it could easily hunt food today, it slowly circled in the high sky, waiting for the creature below to die.
It was very patient, waiting for a long, long time, until the sun had drifted over its head, approaching the sea level, about to sink into the sea.
By this time, it finally waited for that creature to collapse into the seawater.
It was called the Ghost-Eating Sea Eagle, and it had a pair of eyes that could see through the realms of yin and yang. It saw that inside that creature, a soul was slowly floating out.
"It's really dead," it confirmed. When the soul leaves the body, it must be dead.
Without any hesitation, it immediately dove down from thousands of meters high in the sky, its sharp talons open, reaching for that creature.
It waited for the creature in the sea to die, not because it couldn't defeat it, but simply to conserve energy as much as possible.
The terrifying diving force brought by the thousands of meters of altitude in an instant, coupled with its sharp talons, meant very few prey could escape from its grasp.
Unless it was a beast with a bloodline far superior to its own... But there were none in the nearby seas!
It was close now!
Its eyes allowed it to see the corpse on the beach very clearly.
"Just need to grab him, and smash him once more..." it thought simply, "then there can't be any danger."
Before reaching the corpse, it had to pass through that soul...
But it didn't pay attention to the soul, because souls couldn't fill its stomach.
So it flew past the soul carelessly.
And then...
"Poof!"
It was split in two.
It didn't even feel pain before it died.
"?" It was confused as its soul flew out of its corpse. It opened its eyes and saw that soul holding a water blade formed from water, with a pearl as its hilt.
The water blade wasn't sharp. It seemed... it had crashed itself into two halves.
Then...
It saw that soul look towards its soul, and that soul smiled at it:
"Ah! A level one beast soul, very nourishing!"
That soul opened its mouth and sucked, and it couldn't resist, being sucked into the mouth.
"Burp!" Qin Ran belched, feeling his primordial spirit's injuries recover a bit more.
He dispersed the water blade, holding the water pearl, and returned to the water clone body below that he had used as bait.
He stood up, moved a little in the seawater, and did a set of radio calisthenics.
"Hmm, that's about right, it basically doesn't affect movement now."
The primordial spirit's injuries had recovered greatly, there were no problems controlling the body, and he could also use simple spells.
Obviously, this wasn't the first "fish" Qin Ran had caught here.
In fact, around the surrounding beach, there were some fish or birds he had buried, which had rotted, serving as scent and aura bait.
He had been in this place for a full day, from sunrise to sunset, and it had taken great effort to barely recover his ability to move.
And the measure he took to recover his strength was naturally to restore his primordial spirit power!
Because the focus of the primordial spirit clone had always been on the primordial spirit, not the water clone.
But the primordial spirit-related pills he had prepared were lost in the void, so he could only take this fishing measure...
Because the Nine Extremes Primordial Spirit Demon Devouring Skill had two overpowered abilities: one was splitting the spirit, and the other was devouring!!
The primordial spirit clone was split out by the Nine Extremes Primordial Spirit Demon Devouring Skill, so the primordial spirit clone naturally had the ability to devour other souls... By that time, the Demon-Devouring Willow could devour spiritual energy, flesh and blood, anything with energy.
It wasn't a problem for him to devour the souls of some ordinary creatures.
With his strength somewhat recovered, Qin Ran first searched nearby, hoping to find more scattered items from the Universe Bag, but unfortunately, he found nothing.
So he went to search inside the island...
After spending about a short while, Qin Ran had roughly searched the island once.
He found that this was an extremely simple small island, definitely less than 20 square kilometers in area; there were no powerful creatures on it, that Ghost-Eating Sea Eagle was a relatively powerful level one beast, and it had already stood at the top of the food chain on this small island; spiritual energy wasn't abundant, there were no treasures.
Returning to the beach, Qin Ran pondered. He had woken up on this island, so the place that Dan Peak's teleportation array could reach was probably this place.
So this place was probably the destination of Dan Peak's teleportation array. If there was no danger on this island, then this island would be his base in this realm.
At least he needed to ensure that when his main body escaped from Dan Peak to this place, it wouldn't encounter any danger.
Now, there was no danger on the island, so he just needed to confirm the situation around the island.
Was this island truly just a deserted island in the vast ocean, or was it under the control of some force, or would there be some powerful creatures, cultivators or beasts or other beings nearby?
Thinking of this, Qin Ran stepped on the water, left the shore, and went to search in the sea.
Speaking of which, this place was the sea, with abundant water vapor, and he had a water spirit root... a clone made of water, this place was quite suitable for him. On the sea surface, his strength increased by more than one level.
"When the main body arrives here, the cultivation speed will certainly be very fast..." Just as he was thinking this, suddenly, in the darkness ahead, there was a powerful energy fluctuation, rapidly flying towards this direction.
Qin Ran was startled and quickly stopped. Starting from the soles of his feet standing on the sea surface, he silently turned into water, using the Flowing Water Technique, his entire person merging into the seawater.
Just as he had disappeared into the seawater, from where he had been, a black wing-like thing rapidly flew past.
"A seabird?" Qin Ran thought. It had wings, what else could it be if not a bird?
Were there other beasts here?
Was that beast just one of them?
But soon, he was surprised to discover that beyond the wing was not a bird's body, but a fish's body!
On the wings were not feathers, but scales!
It had wings, but it was a fish!
"What on earth is this thing?"
Qin Ran watched that monster rapidly flying towards the small island he had come from, his heart filled with shock and doubt.

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
e vast world of cultivation, where he becomes the master of the Heavenly Ruins Sacred Hall, a dying old man with barely a tenth of his former cultivation remaining. He is immediately confronted with a deadly crisis: his subordinates have rebelled, and his protectors are forcing him to abdicate. At the critical moment, the system descends from the heavens: [Ding! The host has been detected facing a life-or-death crisis. The system is now officially activated!] [As a gift, you have received the Supreme Beginner’s Pack and awakened the ultimate cheat: ten thousand years of pure cultivation essence every second!] Yin Tianjue: “Wait… ten thousand years of cultivation every second?

Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. You’re an undying ancestor who has guarded a sacred land for countless ages? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. You’re the strongest chosen one, blessed with heaven-defying destiny? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. From this day forth, I have only one thing to say: “I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. Now, how exactly are you supposed to deal with that?”
