Chapter 2249: 天枢岛被破,四只六阶妖兽,王长生、汪如烟灭妖

The number of demonic beasts had multiplied several times, now exceeding one million.

While Wang Qingfeng could normally withstand attacks from hundreds of thousands of demonic beasts with the Grade Six formation, the current surge in their numbers, which now included two Grade Six demonic beasts and nearly a hundred Grade Five ones, doubled his pressure.

"Retreat quickly! Initiate Protocol C, retreat immediately!"

Wang Qingfeng shouted, pulling out a gleaming green formation disk, a spirit treasure radiating astonishing spiritual energy. He quickly cast several incantations into it and cried, "Father, something terrible has happened! Tian Shu Island is under attack by two Grade Six demonic beasts and over a million other beasts! Please send reinforcements quickly!"

He knew clearly that even with the Grade Six formation, Tian Shu Island could not possibly withstand an assault from two Grade Six demonic beasts combined with over a million others. His immediate priority was to buy some time.

"Understood. We are coming immediately. Do not leave the island. If the island's defenses fall, prioritize your own safety." Wang Changsheng instructed.

Wang Qingfeng acknowledged and put away the green formation disk.

The Tiger Eagle let out an earth-shattering roar, its body glowing with intense green light. A colossal phantom of a flying eagle materialized above its head, radiating terrifying spiritual pressure.

Simultaneously, rolling flames erupted from the Hundred-Eyed Blazing Octopus's body. Innumerable crimson fiery lights appeared in the void above its head, then coalesced into a colossal phantom of an octopus.

"Dharma Idols!"

Wang Qingfeng's heart sank. If Grade Six demonic beasts merely employed ordinary magical powers to attack Tian Shu Island, the Grade Six formation could hold them off for a while. However, an attack using their manifested Dharma Idols was a completely different matter.

The flying eagle phantom gently flapped its wings, conjuring powerful winds. Hundreds of swirling, misty green tornadoes suddenly appeared on the sea, rushing directly towards Tian Shu Island.

The octopus phantom opened its gaping maw and unleashed a thick pillar of crimson fire, also aimed straight at Tian Shu Island.

Following a series of tremendous explosions, Tian Shu Island shook violently. The blue light barrier protecting it dimmed, flickering faintly like a fragile bubble, threatening to shatter at any moment.

A muffled thud resonated from Wang Qingfeng's person. He pulled out a seven-pointed formation disk, misty with water vapor, from his spatial storage. The disk's surface bore several fine cracks. As he cast incantations into it, the disk glowed with dazzling blue light, and his face visibly paled.

The blue light barrier immediately flared, becoming noticeably thicker and more robust. Seizing this opportunity, the cultivators on the island began to withdraw rapidly.

A direct teleportation array had been constructed on the island, allowing immediate transfer back to Green Lotus Island. However, with over two thousand cultivators present, it would take some time to evacuate everyone.

While the two Grade Six demonic beasts unleashed their Dharma Idols upon Tian Shu Island, the other demonic beasts were not idle either. Wang Qingfeng's spiritual energy rapidly depleted, and his face turned ashen. To make matters worse, the cracks on the formation disk were growing wider, indicating it was on the verge of breaking.

The seabed suddenly churned violently, as a colossal golden turtle, a thousand zhang in size, and an entirely azure saw-ray emerged from the depths. Judging by their aura, they were undeniably Grade Six demonic beasts.

Wang Qingfeng was aghast. How had two more Grade Six demonic beasts appeared? He knew he couldn't possibly hold them off.

The golden turtle and azure saw-ray joined the fray. Amidst a series of deafening roars, the formation disk in Wang Qingfeng's hand shattered into pieces, and the protective blue water barrier instantly collapsed.

A barrage of spiritual light from spells rained down from the sky, targeting Wang Qingfeng. Wang Qingfeng swiftly brandished his Heaven-Burning Blade, cleaving at the void before him. A piercing clang resounded, and thousands of misty red blade energies swept forth to meet the incoming attacks.

A tremendous boom echoed, and powerful shockwaves sent Wang Qingfeng flying backward. Before he could regain his footing, the void above him rippled, and a colossal tiger claw materialized, striking down at Wang Qingfeng. Wang Qingfeng desperately swung his blade at the tiger claw. With a resounding clang, the claw raked across his left arm, leaving a terrifying gash that faintly revealed bone. Had it not been for the protective spiritual robe, his arm would have been completely ruined.

Groaning from the intense pain, Wang Qingfeng was then struck by an astonishing wave of heat as a colossal fireball descended from the sky, engulfing him. A tremendous roar accompanied the rolling flames that engulfed Wang Qingfeng's form. Simultaneously, other cultivators who hadn't managed to escape were also attacked by the demonic beasts. Without the formation's protection, they were utterly defenseless.

Explosions and screams filled the air.

Over a dozen Grade Five demonic birds swooped down from high altitude, lunging directly towards Wang Qingfeng's position. Their speed was incredible; in the blink of an eye, they were directly above Wang Qingfeng.

"Insolent beasts!"

An enraged male voice suddenly boomed, and the bodies of the dozen or so Grade Five demonic birds convulsed, then plunged from mid-air. Seizing this chance, Wang Qingfeng was sent flying backward, and the flames on his body were extinguished. His body was charred black and severely burned, his aura significantly weakened.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan emerged from the teleportation hall, their expressions grim. Of the seven subsidiary islands, Tian Shu Island was not alone in its plight; two other islands were also under attack by Grade Six demonic beasts. However, those two beasts had split up, each attacking a separate subsidiary island, allowing the Grade Six formations there to still hold.

That Tian Shu Island was being assaulted by *four* Grade Six demonic beasts truly exceeded Wang Changsheng's and Wang Ruyan's expectations. Among the four Grade Six demonic beasts, the highest ranked was the Golden Thunder Turtle, a Mid-Grade Six beast, while the other three were Low-Grade Six.

"All of you, retreat now! We will hold them off." Wang Changsheng commanded, then conjured eighteen Sea-Calming Orbs. With a swift incantation, the orbs unleashed countless streams of blue seawater, which converged into a colossal blue water curtain, enveloping an area of a hundred *li*.

Wang Qingfeng and the others began to teleport away in succession, knowing that their presence would only hinder Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

As the four Grade Six demonic beasts unleashed their spells upon the blue water curtain, Wang Changsheng naturally wouldn't allow them to attack unopposed. Wang Changsheng's body radiated intense blue light, and a colossal humanoid phantom suddenly materialized above his head. Its right fist pulsed with shifting blue light, appearing almost corporeal. He had directly invoked his Dharma Idol, hoping to gain precious time for his clansmen.

The humanoid phantom raised its hands high, and the ocean surface immediately erupted. Hundreds of massive, thick water tornadoes surged skyward, resembling over a hundred colossal pillars connecting the sea to the heavens, an awe-inspiring sight. Demonic beasts below Grade Five that came into contact with the water tornadoes were instantly shredded, thousands of them slain and transformed into a swirling mist of blood.

The Grade Six demonic beasts swiftly cast their spells upon Wang Changsheng, unleashing a variety of spiritual attacks that seemed intent on overwhelming him. Wang Changsheng conjured the Nine Flood Dragon Drum and struck its surface with his fist. Amidst an earth-shattering dragon's roar, a misty blue sound wave surged forth to meet the incoming attacks. The incoming spells instantly disintegrated upon contact with the blue sound wave, as if encountering their natural nemesis, generating powerful shockwaves. Multicolored spiritual lights flared high in the sky, resembling a spectacular fireworks display.

Meanwhile, a dense barrage of spiritual spells struck the island, unleashing continuous roars and shockwaves. Flames erupted across the island, and numerous buildings caught fire. Hordes of demonic beasts stormed onto the island, with demonic birds diving down from above.

By this point, Wang Qingfeng and the other cultivators had successfully evacuated. With no further concerns, Wang Changsheng furiously struck the Nine Flood Dragon Drum's surface with both hands. Successive dragon roars erupted, sending out waves of misty blue sound that swept towards the advancing demonic beasts. Wherever the blue sound waves passed, mountains shattered into dust, towering trees splintered into countless fragments, rocks crumbled, and houses collapsed with thunderous roars.

As the blue sound waves swept through the demonic beast ranks, all beasts below Grade Five collapsed, motionless. Though showing no major external wounds, their internal organs and blood vessels had all ruptured, staining a significant portion of Tian Shu Island crimson with their blood.
