Chapter 358 After the Fog: The "Non-existent" Bermuda Islands
"presumptuous!"

The voice suddenly rose in pitch, like a thunderclap, carrying an enraged majesty as it boomed outwards.

At the same time, the fog below, which had been retreating steadily, seemed to be infused with new life. An indescribable force of resistance emerged out of thin air, condensing into a nearly tangible gray-white barrier that forcefully resisted the dazzling divine light pouring down from the sun's disc!
And this is far from over.

From the deepest part of that unfathomable fog, even more and denser fog surged out.

This time, they were no longer pale or gray, but transformed into a vast and boundless azure blue.

The color blended almost seamlessly with the vast ocean below, deep and serene, yet exuding an aura that was even more eerie and resilient than before.

The newly formed blue mist no longer evaporated passively; instead, it layered and intertwined, like a tide with life, stubbornly resisting the purification of the sun's golden light, and its dissipation was suddenly halted!
The Silverwing Ant Queen's eyes turned cold, but a sharp smile curved her lips.

"A futile struggle!"

She suddenly raised her slender, white right hand, and from her palm, an extremely dazzling golden light burst forth, then traced a line in the air.

With a flick of his fingertips, an incredibly complex ancient rune, containing boundless solar essence, instantly took shape, accompanied by a buzzing sound, and forcefully poured into the enormous solar disk above his head!

Om-!
The disc trembled violently, as if a sleeping ancient god had been completely awakened.

The molten gold patterns flowing on its surface instantly boiled, and the light that burst forth was no longer pure light, but rather almost liquid, burning solar flames!
The intensity of the light surged several times, transforming into a scorching torrent capable of piercing through heaven and earth, crashing down with overwhelming force!

Even the resilient azure mist could not withstand such true divine might.

Like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, they hiss and wail, instantly evaporating, piercing, and completely dissipating!
The eternal fog that had blocked the outside world's view for millions of years was finally torn apart at this moment!
For the first time in history, the true appearance of the Bermuda Triangle was laid bare to the sunlight.

However, the scene dwarfed all imagined images.

What is shown below is not the unobstructed expanse of the blue ocean.

Instead... it's an island!

Countless "islands"!
They are scattered like stars, yet they completely defy common sense: some are enormous, floating on the surface of the sea, their roots submerged in the deep blue water.
Some are even more fantastical, defying gravity and silently suspended high in the sky, casting huge shadows.

These islands vary in size and shape, but each one is shrouded in a hazy yet powerful energy field, like an independent realm that forms its own world.

This is the true face of the Bermuda Triangle, a place that only exists in legends and "does not exist at all"—the Bermuda Space Islands!
All these fantastical scenes revolve around two enormous, bottomless ocean whirlpools.

The vortex slowly rotated, like an axis supporting the heavens and the earth, swallowing the surrounding seawater and light, and radiating a heart-palpitating energy.

All the floating islands revolve around the two central vortices along some mysterious trajectory, forming a magnificent and beautiful, yet deadly, fantasy landscape.

And that voice, filled with shock and anger, now came clearly from the depths of that even more mysterious vortex.

The beings behind the vortex clearly had no idea that the power of this solar disk would be so overwhelming, completely shattering the eternal fog barrier they relied on for refuge!
In a fit of shock and rage, a sudden counterattack ensued!

A chaotic and distorted energy storm tore through space without warning, carrying with it a disorderly power that could tear everything apart, and rushed straight towards the Silverwing Ant Queen!

Where the storm passed, even the light was distorted.

The Spirit Sea Rose, who had been standing by, reacted extremely quickly. Almost at the same instant the opponent launched their attack, she stood firmly in front of the Silver Wing Ant Queen without hesitation.

She spread her arms, and a dazzling crimson light suddenly burst forth from her body. The light rapidly condensed and bloomed, blossoming into a gigantic and eerie energy rose in the void. Each petal was formed from immense power, and as it slowly rotated, it stirred up the surrounding air currents.

Immediately, the entire rose burst apart into a torrent, like a blood-red river bursting through the air, heading straight towards the raging chaotic storm!
Two terrifying forces collided violently in mid-air—

"boom!!"

Amidst the deafening roar, energy surged and scattered in all directions.

But what happened next was unexpected.

The chaotic storm was not defeated by the rose torrent. Instead, it twisted and spun, generating an extremely strange devouring power. It not only tore and absorbed the blood torrent inch by inch, but also twisted and transformed some of its power, and rebounded violently!

The pupils of the Spirit Sea Rose suddenly contracted, and a sense of horror welled up in her heart.

In the face of danger, she did not hesitate and immediately changed her tactics.

The light around him instantly changed from blood red to a deep, dark blue, as if drawing upon the power of the galaxy above the heavens.

It was no longer a head-on collision, but transformed into a vast, ever-flowing water curtain infused with the brilliance of countless stars, gentle yet indestructible, effectively blocking the terrifying chaotic storm.

However, at the very moment she was fully engaged in dealing with this first wave of attacks—

Another, more swift and more covert chaotic storm had already silently bypassed the main battlefield, like a venomous snake that had been plotting for a long time. Its true target was the Silverwing Ant Queen and the sun disk above her head that was still radiating intense light!
The first strike was a feint.

However, the Silverwing Ant Queen was a spatial ruler, and such energy fluctuations could not escape her perception.

However, she did not dodge the attack.

Just as the chaotic storm was about to engulf the Silverwing Ant Queen—

But it vanished without a trace, disappearing into thin air.

There was no explosion, no impact, not even a ripple.

The violent energy, powerful enough to tear space apart, seemed to fall into nothingness the instant it approached the solar disk, vanishing silently as if it had never existed.

At this moment, a figure stood quietly atop the towering, suspended solar disk.

He was clad in golden armor, his body radiating an ancient and majestic glow, as if he had stepped out of a myth of deserts and blazing sun.

Simply by standing here, it exudes an aura that suppresses all things.

The Desert Emperor, Azir, has descended upon this land.

It turns out that the rune that the Silverwing Ant Queen had just drawn was far more than just an enhancement of the disc's power.

In reality, it was the solar disk that served as the coordinates that summoned the Tsar!
Azir's gaze was calm and profound, as if he had already seen through everything.

He didn't look at the dissipating storm, but rather into the depths of the vortex, staring directly at the manipulator hidden behind the scenes.
