The dragon shadow rapidly ascended in the seawater, shedding its thick outer layer of lava in the process, revealing a shimmering metallic glow.
The Dark Gold Yang Dragon's speed further increased upon entering the water, covering the few thousand meters from seabed to surface in mere moments.
In a flash, the Dark Gold Yang Dragon's body burst out of the sea, its scales shimmering divinely under the sunlight.
Upon emerging from the water, Quan Yi remained vigilant, his mental power surging forth, compressing and propelling the flames with all his might, driving him swiftly towards Blue Silver Island.
"Xiao Yi is out!"
The splash created by the dragon shadow's leap allowed Huo Wu to immediately pinpoint Quan Yi's location.
The Dark Gold Yang Dragon emerged nearly a hundred miles away from Blue Silver Island.
However, under Quan Yi's supersonic flight, the Dark Gold Yang Dragon smoothly reached the beach in just over ten minutes.
Quan Yi then transformed back into his original form, standing before Huo Wu and pointing towards the distant sea.
"Watch carefully, Xiao Wu; the volcano is about to erupt."
Everyone's attention was once again drawn to the sea.
At that moment, the azure sea suddenly swelled, forming a black plume hundreds of meters high and thousands of meters in diameter.
Its shape resembled a ferocious, evil ancient whale, opening its massive jaws to devour the sky.
The subterranean magma, accumulated over countless years, leaped out of the water ahead of schedule under Quan Yi's guidance, displaying its might to the world.
The magnificent scene deeply shocked everyone, and the entire coastline fell into silence.
Even the marine iguanas, faced with true natural disaster, truly realized the insignificance of life.
After the sound swept past, the waves washing the beach began to churn.
Seeing this, Quan Yi clapped his hands, reminding them, "Everyone, watch out for the waves; this place will likely be submerged soon."
He then led everyone to higher ground on the hills.
Sure enough, after everyone evacuated the coast, towering waves, high enough to engulf people, began to wash over the entire western shore.
Undersea volcanic eruptions are often accompanied by tsunamis and other natural disasters.
Fortunately, Quan Yi set the explosion point at a relatively remote distance; otherwise, it might have harmed Blue Silver Island.
"Is this the volcano that was supposed to erupt on Blue Silver Island? If it weren't for Xiao Yi, it's hard to imagine what kind of terrible disaster it would have caused in the future."
Quan Li couldn't help but feel lingering fear upon seeing the power of the volcanic eruption.
Although the explosion on the surface didn't seem very large, one must remember that the depth of the seabed was thousands of meters.
If it had been detonated directly on the surface, the spreading hot smoke and dust alone could have annihilated all life on the island.
Quan Yi's Crimson Dragon Eyes continuously scanned the seabed, and upon observing that the magma energy at the bottom of the sea was gradually stabilizing, he contentedly retracted his gaze.
"According to our calculations, this is just the beginning. Next, a continuous stream of magma will gush out through this opening.
However, since the accumulated pressure has been released, the subsequent release of magma will proceed gently and continuously.
Given some time, it may become a guardian island surrounding Blue Silver Island.
Moreover, most importantly, after this explosion, the magma energy at the bottom of the island will be completely released.
The hidden dangers of Blue Silver Island can be considered resolved."
A smile finally appeared on Quan Yi's face, and his cold dragon eyes returned to their original pupils.
The Quan Yi who had returned to his original appearance was so gentle and calm, but behind him seemed to stand a towering mountain, inspiring awe.
At this moment, the marine iguanas surrounding him lowered their heads, expressing their respect to Quan Yi.
At this time, the Flame Dragon King in Quan Yi's mind also sincerely admired him, saying, "Quan Yi, from now on, I'll leave the title of Volcano King to you."
Quan Yi humbly replied, "No, the title of Volcano King belongs to us. Without Senior Flame, I couldn't have done this."
"Haha, good, let us bear this resounding name together!"
Flame Dragon King and Quan Yi, after this sincere cooperation, developed a friendship similar to camaraderie, which brought the two closer.
The undersea volcanic eruption triggered by Quan Yi and the Flame Dragon King was a grand spectacle, but only a few people and hundreds of marine iguanas witnessed this scene.
Even the residents on the eastern shore of the island did not notice this.
At most, they could only feel that the surrounding coast had become turbulent and the waves had become somewhat higher, but they did not perceive any other abnormalities.
The ash and other ejecta brought about by the volcanic eruption, under the influence of the sea breeze, drifted away from Blue Silver Island.
When the sea returned to calm, a small red peak suddenly emerged from the sea hundreds of miles away.
Scorching magma slowly flowed out from the center, solidifying into hard rock as it cooled in the seawater.
Repeatedly, fist-sized reefs began to spread and rise.
On the other side, Quan Yi, riding the Crimson Dragon, brought Huo Wu and Yun Qiong to Ghost Island.
Yun Qiong did not stay long but left a dark mark on the island that could be used for teleportation before riding the Crimson Dragon to the next island.
Previously, Yun Qiong had retracted the marks engraved on the three islands in order to cope with emergencies.
This time, taking advantage of Quan Yi's return trip, she needed to re-engrave the marks on the islands.
As for Quan Li, because he needed to guard Blue Silver Island, he did not return with them.
After a day's journey, Quan Yi, standing on the Crimson Dragon, saw the distant continent.
"We've finally arrived at Seagod City."
Just looking at the brightly lit and lively city was enough to feel comforted.
The Crimson Dragon smoothly arrived at the Quan family villa, and apart from Quan Li, the family was finally reunited.
Quan Yi then hugged Quan Ni, who had rushed towards him, and conveyed the good news of their success to Su Ling'er and Quan Yue.
However, compared to the 100,000-year soul ring, they were more concerned about Quan Yi's safety.
So when they saw Quan Yi return safely, that alone was enough to make them happy.
That evening, during the reunion dinner, Quan Yue asked about Quan Yi's future plans.
Quan Yi glanced at Huo Wu and said, "Huo Wu has delayed a lot of time to help me this time.
So, I want to accompany Huo Wu back to Sunset Forest again after this for another closed-door training session.
We'll only come out to obtain the soul ring after Huo Wu breaks through level seventy.
Moreover, my own cultivation speed has also been significantly improved with the breakthrough in realm, and perhaps my cultivation will reach the level of level eighty when I come out of seclusion."
The reason Quan Yi returned to Seagod City was to re-enter closed-door cultivation.
