Chapter 3032: Reinforcements Arrive

A dazzling blue spiritual light flared, and the flickering flames vanished. Wang Qingshan disappeared, replaced by a completely blue shark. It was covered in blood, with many scales flaking off, and black smoke billowed from its body, emitting a charred scent.

This was the seventh-tier Heaven Shark Talisman, which allowed a cultivator to temporarily transform into a seventh-tier Flipping Sea Shark and utilize some of its divine abilities.

Chen Yueying was hosting a Grand Ascension celebration, and many Integration-stage cultivators had come to offer congratulations. Wang Qingshan had exchanged a seventh-tier Heaven Shark Talisman with Li Tianhe from the Azure Glaze Sea Domain.

Transforming into a beast form made him more resilient; otherwise, he would have perished due to the vast power disparity.

The Flipping Sea Shark let out a piercing shriek and blasted a hazy blue sound wave forward. Simultaneously, a blue halo emanated from its body, expanding in all directions.

Three towering waves collided with the blue halo and froze, forming three blue high walls that encircled the Flipping Sea Shark.

A silver lightning spear struck the blue sound wave, shattering it instantly as if it were made of paper.

The silver lightning spear then struck the Flipping Sea Shark's body, unleashing countless silver electrical arcs that engulfed more than half of it.

The Flipping Sea Shark's massive body was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, its surface scorched black and emitting black smoke.

With a flash of blue light, the Flipping Sea Shark transformed back into Wang Qingshan. His face was pale, and a blue talisman, bearing a miniature shark pattern, fell from his body.

With a muffled pop, the blue talisman spontaneously combusted, turning to ash.

The silver lightning spear shot directly towards Wang Qingshan, appearing poised to pierce him through.

The water surface violently churned and surged, as a massive waterspout shot skyward, blocking Wang Qingshan's path.

The silver lightning spear shattered the waterspout, scattering seawater, and Wang Changsheng appeared, holding the Illusory Moon Treasure Mirror.

Before Yin Peng could react, the Illusory Moon Treasure Mirror in Wang Changsheng's hand erupted with dazzling golden light.

Upon seeing the golden light, Yin Peng felt his mind grow hazy, and his surroundings instantly transformed. He suddenly found himself in the Silver Shark Palace, with Yin Qing seated directly before him.

"Ancestor… no, an illusion!"

Yin Peng was aghast. He knew it was an illusion, but breaking free would not be easy.

Seeing Yin Peng's eyes glaze over, Jiao Yan quickly shouted, "Fellow Daoist Yin, wake up!"

Her words, however, could not break the illusion. Yin Peng had not expected Wang Changsheng to possess an illusion-type treasure, and he had unwittingly fallen victim to it.

Wang Changsheng rarely used the Illusory Moon Treasure Mirror, so it was understandable that outsiders were unaware of it.

While some individuals from certain races could employ illusionary divine abilities, such as Pu Feng, the patriarch of the Snow Clam tribe, who generated illusions through sound as an innate talent, the Illusory Moon Treasure Mirror was a treasure. The former was difficult to emulate, whereas anyone who acquired the latter could use it against opponents.

By this point, the other Wang family cultivators had fled to a safe distance, but Wang Qingshan remained. Wang Changsheng couldn't use his Soul Suppressing Roar or Soul Shaking Gong, as he might accidentally injure Wang Qingshan.

There was no alternative; everything has its pros and cons.

"Qingshan, retreat quickly. If you stay here, I can't fight without restraint."

Wang Changsheng sent a telepathic message to Wang Qingshan, acknowledging that he had already done well by helping to destroy Jin Ao's physical body.

Wang Qingshan nodded, and a brilliant green light enveloped his body as he transformed into a green streak and shot away.

Wang Changsheng put away the Illusory Moon Treasure Mirror, then took out the Heaven-Shaking Spear. As he infused it with spiritual power, the spear glowed with a blinding blue light.

With a flick of his wrist, the Heaven-Shaking Spear whistled through the air, streaking towards Yin Peng with the swiftness of a flood dragon plunging into the sea. Its speed was extraordinary.

As the Heaven-Shaking Spear flew, it left a white trail in the air, and the sea surface split in two, as if cleanly cut in half.

A flash of red light appeared, and a glowing red shield flew into place, blocking Yin Peng.

The Heaven-Shaking Spear struck the red shield with a dull thud, causing the shield to wobble slightly.

Jiao Yan leaped forward, flying over to protect Yin Peng.

Wang Ruyan's expression turned cold. She activated her Dharma Idol and began playing a tune of Disheartened Soul.

The sea churned violently, and a vast amount of seawater surged skyward, forming a blue mountain of water tens of thousands of feet tall.

Jiao Yan felt the sky abruptly darken, and the void began to hum, as long, thick cracks appeared.

Jiao Yan's beautiful face changed dramatically. The mermaid phantom above her head suddenly slapped its tail, causing the void to vibrate and distort. A vast amount of crimson light erupted, forming a giant crimson fire cloud that surged forward to meet the incoming attack.

The crimson fire cloud collided with the blue water mountain, like an egg striking a stone. The fire cloud instantly dispersed, vanishing without a trace, as the blue water mountain continued its trajectory directly towards Jiao Yan.

Jiao Yan swiftly altered her incantation. Red light shot from the eyes of the mermaid phantom, striking the blue water mountain and instantly bringing it to a halt, as if it had been frozen in place.

"Thank you for your effort, Madam Jiao. They possess numerous treasures. We must eliminate them to prevent future trouble. And whatever you do, do not meet their gaze."

A chilling male voice rang out.

Jiao Yan looked towards the source of the voice and saw that Yin Peng had regained consciousness.

Despite how quickly he broke free from the illusion, had Jiao Yan not intervened, Yin Peng would have been killed. In a battle between masters, a single oversight could prove fatal.

This was also due to Yin Peng's relatively high cultivation. A mid-Integration stage cultivator would not have broken free from the illusion so quickly.

With a muffled thud, the blue water mountain surged forward again, threatening to crush Yin Peng and Jiao Yan.

Yin Peng chanted an incantation, and his body erupted with lightning, causing him to vanish from his spot. Jiao Yan also disappeared, transforming into a ball of crimson fire.

The next moment, a blinding silver lightning flashed in the void before Wang Changsheng, revealing Yin Peng, whose expression was cold and indifferent.

He opened his mouth and spat out a seven-colored lightning arrow, which shot directly towards Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng had anticipated this and quickly summoned the Eastern Yi Shield, holding it before him.

With a muffled thud, the seven-colored lightning arrow was repelled by the Eastern Yi Shield, but a few more cracks appeared on its surface.

"Eastern Yi Divine Wood!"

Yin Peng was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Wang Changsheng to possess a treasure forged from Eastern Yi Divine Wood.

A deafening thunderclap echoed from high above, and a massive silver lightning pillar descended from the sky, striking Wang Changsheng precisely and engulfing his figure in brilliant light.

Yin Peng thrust his silver lightning spear into the brilliant light, and a muffled thud suggested it had struck something.

Shortly after, the silver lightning dissipated, revealing Wang Changsheng impaled by the silver lightning spear in Yin Peng's hand.

With a flash of spiritual light, Wang Changsheng transformed into a lifelike puppet beast.

A Calamity Substitute Puppet!

Wang Changsheng had painstakingly refined this Calamity Substitute Puppet, only for it to be destroyed so easily.

Beside Wang Ruyan, countless blue mists surged forth, coalescing into Wang Changsheng's form.

Wang Changsheng's face was pale. He was fortunate to have the Calamity Substitute Puppet; otherwise, he would have lost his life.

"Hmph, let's see how many more times you can block me."

Yin Peng's expression turned cold.

Just then, the sea surface violently churned, unleashing towering waves as if the entire ocean was about to flip over.

"Who is lurking stealthily in the shadows?"

Yin Peng shouted loudly, then chanted an incantation. The thunderclouds high above churned violently, and tens of thousands of massive silver lightning bolts tore through the sky, plunging into the seawater.

"Xiao Wentian."

As soon as the voice faded, the sea surface churned fiercely, rising over a hundred feet high. Xiao Wentian stood atop the water wave, his expression solemn.
