Chapter 2375: Inside and outside cooperation

A dazzling golden light erupted from Wang Xiao's chest. Faintly visible was a continuously shimmering golden jade pendant, its runes flickering with astonishing spiritual energy. It was clearly a supreme defensive spirit treasure. A pale golden light barrier materialized out of thin air, enveloping Wang Xiao's entire body.

This Golden Owl Pendant was given to him by Wang Changsheng for self-defense. With this treasure, even Void Refining cultivators couldn't kill him with a single blow. Wang Changsheng had sent him to cause destruction, not to die.

A red bird claw struck the golden light barrier, emitting a muffled thud. Wang Xiao rapidly descended towards the ground, landing on the Scaled Tortoise's shell.

Wang Changsheng had broken through several islands, captured several Spirit Transformation cultivators, and soul-searched them. He learned the location of the island's protective array, then sent Wang Xiao to infiltrate Qingyu Island, using a disposable treasure to damage the array and coordinate an attack from both inside and outside.

"You think you can break through the island's protective array? Ridiculous," a woman's disdainful voice suddenly rang out. Xiao Yan flew high into the sky, her expression cold.

There were four Sixth-tier arrays on the island. Wang Xiao had only destroyed one Sixth-tier offensive array; three Sixth-tier arrays remained—two for defense and one for trapping enemies. She personally controlled the arrays. Even if ten Void Refining cultivators tried to break through, it wouldn't be easy, giving her enough time to kill Wang Xiao.

Not putting all her eggs in one basket, the four Sixth-tier arrays were scattered in different locations. Even the Void Refining cultivators stationed on Qingyu Island didn't know the locations of all four Sixth-tier arrays, maximizing Qingyu Island's security.

The Scaled Tortoise let out a loud roar, then opened its gaping maw and spewed out a beam of blue light, which transformed into a massive blue thundercloud. After a rumbling sound of thunder, blue lightning orbs poured down, striking the golden-robed old man and others.

Wang Xiao shook his sleeve, and a gleaming golden long staff flew out, landing in the hands of a golden giant ape.

The Golden Adamantine Ape, a Sixth-tier spirit beast raised by Liu Yumei, possessed a trace of the Mountain Giant Ape's bloodline. It was incredibly powerful, had thick skin and tough flesh, and possessed extraordinary divine abilities.

The Golden Adamantine Ape grasped the golden staff. After the golden staff lit up with dazzling golden light, its body expanded dramatically, transforming into a golden great staff several hundred zhang long. It brandished the golden great staff, conjuring countless staff shadows, smashing them towards the mountain peaks. Simultaneously, it opened its gaping maw and spewed out golden sound waves. A series of rumbling explosions rang out. The mountain peaks burst apart, and dust filled the sky. Wherever the golden sound waves passed, rocks and earth shattered, and buildings turned into dust.

The Golden Thunder Eagle circled erratically in the high sky. Occasionally, it would dive down, its golden talons piercing the head of a Spirit Transformation half-demon, or it would open its mouth and unleash golden lightning bolts. Both the Golden Thunder Eagle and the Golden Adamantine Ape were spirit beasts raised by Liu Yumei. She had spent a vast amount of effort and resources to cultivate them; they had helped her slay powerful enemies multiple times, and this time was no exception.

With the Golden Adamantine Ape, the Scaled Tortoise, and the Golden Thunder Eagle causing destruction on Qingyu Island, Wang Xiao had already completed his task. His current objective was to hold out until Wang Changsheng arrived. He manifested a gleaming golden small umbrella, holding it above his head. Numerous blue electric arcs surged from the Scaled Tortoise's body, protecting Wang Xiao. Xiao Yan frowned deeply and immediately, along with two Void Refining cultivators, moved to kill the Scaled Tortoise and its companions.

Almost simultaneously, the sea surface churned violently, raising towering waves. Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, Liu Yumei, and Chen Yihang stood atop one of these colossal waves.

Wang Changsheng chanted an incantation, and eighteen colossal blue water dragons flew out from beneath the sea, surging towards Qingyu Island.

Liu Yumei chanted an incantation, and a brilliant red light burst from her body. A ray of red light flew out, transforming into a hazy red female phantom, four-tenths of its body shimmering with spiritual light, appearing almost corporeal. The female phantom opened its mouth and spewed out a thick torrent of crimson flames, directly towards Qingyu Island. Wherever the crimson flames passed, long, wide cracks appeared in the void, and vast amounts of seawater evaporated.

A beam of blue light flew from Wang Ruyan's body, transforming into a massive female phantom. The phantom held a gleaming jade flute in its hand. A series of joyful flute melodies rang out, and blue sound waves swept forth.

The most formidable of them all was Chen Yihang. He took out a nine-cornered blue array disc, and after casting several incantations into it, the seawater churned violently, giving rise to water tornadoes ten thousand zhang in diameter. These immense, heaven-connecting water tornadoes created a colossal spectacle. Thousands of water tornadoes surrounded Qingyu Island, rotating rapidly. Countless blue water swords shot out, heading straight for Qingyu Island.

Under normal circumstances, it would be truly difficult for the four of them to break the array. However, with three Sixth-tier spirit beasts causing destruction on Qingyu Island, Xiao Yan and the other two couldn't focus on controlling the arrays. The Golden Adamantine Ape, the Golden Thunder Eagle, and the Scaled Tortoise possessed astonishing destructive power. If left unchecked, and they managed to destroy the core of the island's protective array, Wang Changsheng and the other three could immediately break through.

A fierce glint flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes. With a flick of her right hand, a red light shot out, revealing a shimmering red miniature pagoda. She cast an incantation into it, and the red pagoda suddenly expanded, transforming into a massive red tower over a thousand zhang tall. The massive red tower spewed out a hazy red light, enveloping the Golden Adamantine Ape and its companions. The Golden Adamantine Ape opened its mouth and spewed out a hazy golden sound wave, shattering the red light. The golden sound wave then struck the massive red tower, sending it flying backward.

Qingyu Island trembled violently, and cries of agony rang out continuously.

Several tiny cracks appeared on the array disc in Xiao Yan's hand. At this rate, the array wouldn't last much longer. She took out a gleaming golden array disc. After casting several incantations into it, thousands of golden lights flew out from underground, forming a massive golden light barrier. It enveloped the entire Qingyu Island, its surface covered with countless Buddhist runes, accompanied by the chanting of Sanskrit.

The Sixth-tier Golden Adamantine Spirit Guarding Array, a Buddhist array obtained from human cultivators, possessed formidable defense; blocking four Void Refining cultivators was certainly not an issue.

As soon as the golden light barrier appeared, the green light barrier dissipated. Dense attacks struck the golden light barrier, producing a series of crackling thuds, but Qingyu Island remained completely still.

"Kill them as quickly as possible," Xiao Yan said gravely, her face filled with killing intent. They would activate their Dharma Idols, use arrays, or control treasures to attack the Golden Adamantine Ape and its companions.

"Senior Sister Liu, Senior Brother Chen, you must increase your attack intensity. We will go break the array," Wang Changsheng instructed, then, along with Wang Ruyan, leaped towards Qingyu Island.

The sea surface churned violently, and two massive blue water barriers suddenly appeared, each enveloping two of the four, Wang Changsheng and his companions. The three Void Refining cultivators of the Golden Roc Tribe divided their tasks. One controlled the trapping array to interfere with Wang Changsheng and his companions breaking the array, while Xiao Yan activated the Golden Adamantine Spirit Guarding Array for defense. This allowed them to calmly focus on killing the Scaled Tortoise and its companions.

A brilliant blue light erupted from Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's bodies. Countless amounts of seawater surged forth, engulfing their bodies and transforming into a thick blue water pillar, which shot directly towards the blue water barrier. After a deafening roar, the blue water barrier shattered.

"How is this possible!" a thin, bamboo-like old man in green robes stared in disbelief. He quickly activated the array, attempting to trap Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan again.

Near Qingyu Island, a massive water tornado surged skyward. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan stood atop the water tornado, their faces filled with killing intent.
