Chapter 3212: Breaking the Formation and Annihilating the Clan

At the Peak of the Green Lotus

Snow Clam Island, Snow Clam Hall.

Piao Hao and Piao Yu were seated on the main dais, listening to a report from a tall, slender man in a golden robe.

Human Body Integration cultivators had unleashed a massacre in their territory, causing heavy casualties among the Snow Clam tribe. In retaliation, the Snow Clams had allied with multiple other tribes to attack the Wang family's territory.

The war was not progressing smoothly. The Wang family appeared to be prepared; they had not only replaced their frontline personnel but also changed their array formations. Consequently, the array-breaking treasures prepared by the Snow Clam tribe were proving largely ineffective. If not for the assistance of other tribes in sharing the pressure, the Snow Clam tribe would have collapsed long ago. The Wang family had gained a wealth of cultivation resources from their victory against the Lizard tribe, making them strong and well-equipped. The severely weakened Snow Clam tribe was no match for them.

"The main human forces reinforced the Wang family, causing a frontline collapse and scattering our clansmen in desperate flight," the man in the golden robe said, a hint of pride in his voice. "The Twin Jades of Green Lotus were overly arrogant, pursuing too deeply, and were ultimately slain by our clansmen."

"Can you confirm that it was our clansmen who killed the Twin Jades of Green Lotus?" Piao Yu pressed, a look of confusion on her face. Both Twin Jades of Green Lotus were at the early Void Refinement stage. Could they be so arrogant as to pursue into their territory and be slain? Her initial thought was that their clansmen might be falsely reporting their achievements.

"No, we don't have any news from Fellow Daoist Piao yet; perhaps he's severely injured and recuperating somewhere. But this was witnessed firsthand by Fellow Daoist Mi from the Fire Boar tribe, and many others saw it too, so there's no falsehood," the man in the golden robe stated with certainty.

"They personally saw the Twin Jades of Green Lotus being killed?" Piao Yu asked, somewhat incredulous.

"Not exactly," the man in the golden robe slowly replied. "They only saw the Twin Jades of Green Lotus severely wounded by Fellow Daoist Piao. The Twin Jades were busy fleeing, and then Fellow Daoist Piao pursued them. After a while, the humans attacked us as if driven mad. We captured a few prisoners, and soul-searching revealed that the Twin Jades of Green Lotus's vital soul lamps had extinguished. They must have been killed by Fellow Daoist Piao."

From his account, the situation seemed plausible: the Twin Jades of Green Lotus had pursued a Void Refinement cultivator from the Snow Clam tribe, acting with excessive arrogance. A fierce battle ensued, resulting in their demise, and the human cultivators retaliated.

"According to the information gleaned from those two captives, the Twin Jades of Green Lotus were descendants of the Green Lotus Immortals, and also key talents the Wang family was nurturing," the man in the golden robe said with a smile.

Just then, a harsh rumble of thunder echoed, reverberating through the sky. Soon, alarms blared loudly, and Snow Clam Island began to shake slightly. Piao Hao and Piao Yu's expressions darkened. They exchanged a glance and nodded at each other.

"Immediately arrange for our elite clansmen to teleport away," Piao Hao instructed. "They won't be able to breach Snow Clam Island for a while." The last time the Green Lotus Immortals arrived in person, the Snow Clam tribe's protective array had resisted for some time. This time, it should also hold for a while, enough for their elite clansmen to escape.

Outside Snow Clam Island, Wang Mengbin and Wang Yidao stood suspended high in the air, their gazes cold. A colossal thundercloud hovered overhead, flashing with lightning and rumbling with thunder. Thick silver lightning bolts struck down, heading directly for Snow Clam Island below. A snowy white light barrier enveloped the entire Snow Clam Island. Dense silver lightning bolts continuously struck the white barrier, causing it to tremor slightly.

Wang Yidao raised his right hand, and a beam of white light shot out. It was a shimmering small hammer, about a foot long, with a rectangular head and exquisite patterns carved into its body. It emanated faint wisps of cold air and possessed astonishing spiritual energy: the Heavenly Moon Soul-Shaking Hammer. The Heavenly Moon Soul-Shaking Hammer glowed with dazzling white light, its size rapidly increasing as it plunged towards Snow Clam Island. From Snow Clam Island, thick beams of white light soared forth, supporting the Heavenly Moon Soul-Shaking Hammer and preventing its descent.

Wang Mengbin flipped his right hand, and a shimmering silver jade shuttle appeared in his grasp, pulsating with astonishing spiritual energy. It was the Spirit-Breaker Shuttle, an array-breaking treasure refined primarily from Spirit-Breaking Divine Crystal, a medium-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure. This treasure could weaken arrays below the eighth rank, though not all types, such as spatial arrays, illusion arrays, and other peculiar formations. Wang Mengbin flicked his wrist lightly. The Spirit-Breaker Shuttle's spiritual light intensified, transforming into a silver rainbow that shot straight towards Snow Clam Island.

Piao Hao did not know what treasure Wang Mengbin had unleashed, but he dared not directly confront it. Instead, he controlled the array to meet the attack. Thousands of thick white beams shot skyward, heading directly for the silver rainbow. Before these white beams could even touch the silver rainbow, the silver lightning bolts descending from above shattered them. The silver rainbow then struck the snowy white light barrier, sending ripples across its surface. The spot struck by the Spirit-Breaker Shuttle became translucent, looking as if it could collapse at any moment.

A harsh clang of a blade echoed, and a swirling golden vortex swept forward, striking the island's protective array. With a flash of lightning, a thick, seven-colored lightning spear materialized out of thin air and struck the array. At the same time, the Heavenly Moon Soul-Shaking Hammer's spiritual light flared, and it smashed downwards.

Following a tremendous crash, the island's protective array shattered, and the array disc in Piao Hao's hand likewise broke apart. He was dumbfounded. How could the island's protective array have been breached so quickly? He quickly recovered and swiftly conjured a shimmering white miniature umbrella. Holding it above his head, it projected a vast white light curtain that enveloped his entire body.

A thunderous roar filled the air as tens of thousands of thick silver lightning bolts tore across the sky, striking Snow Clam Island. A series of agonizing screams erupted as a vast number of Snow Clam cultivators were obliterated by the dense lightning. The destructive power of the lightning was immense; cultivators below the Body Integration stage simply could not withstand it. Snow Clam Island seemed to transform into a sea of thunder, engulfed by the relentless silver lightning. Screams were incessant, and one Snow Clam cultivator after another was annihilated, leaving no trace.

Some cultivators attempted to escape via teleportation arrays, but then a man's roaring shout, echoing across heaven and earth, resounded. Upon hearing it, all cultivators below the Body Integration stage cried out in agony, collapsing to the ground, their fates unknown. Piao Hao's expression remained calm. He had long prepared for the Wang family's Soul Suppression Roar, having spent a fortune to exchange for two Soul Suppression Pills with other Body Integration cultivators. Knowing that Wang family cultivators possessed the Soul Suppression Roar divine ability, they naturally came prepared to confront the Wang family.

A golden vortex swept forward, tearing open the void in its path, creating thick, elongated fissures. Piao Hao quickly activated his Dharma Idol, which spewed forth a blinding white mist to meet the attack. The white mist was like thin paper; upon contact with the golden vortex, it instantly shattered. Piao Hao raised his right hand, and a shimmering white miniature mountain flew from his body, instantly growing enormous and shattering the golden vortex.

A harsh peal of thunder rang out beside Piao Hao's ear, making his head ring. By the time he recovered, a hundred-zhang-wide silver lightning pillar descended from the sky, its dazzling silver light engulfing his figure.

Wang Yidao's expression turned cold. He swung his blade and slashed at the void. The void tore open, and a brilliant golden Heaven-Cleaving Saber Qi swept forth. The sea parted, buildings on Snow Clam Island were sliced in two, and mountains exploded. The Heaven-Cleaving Saber Qi plunged into the silver lightning, and a scream echoed.
