Chapter 3366: Inferno Attack

The Five-Light Mountain Range, originally controlled by the Beastmen, is now Wang family territory. Wang Yibing and Wang Huayue are stationed here, overseeing family members as they mine Five-Light Jade.

The raw Five-Light Jade ore is transported to the rear. There, the family's artifact refiners temper it to extract the pure Five-Light Jade, which is then passed to high-level refiners to be crafted into defensive treasures.

The Wang family places great importance on this stronghold. In addition to two Integration cultivators, there are fifteen Void Refinement cultivators and over a hundred Deity Transformation cultivators. A large-scale teleportation array has been established, allowing them to request reinforcements from the family should they be attacked by a strong enemy.

Inside a secret chamber, Wang Huayue sat cross-legged on a red stone bed, her eyes closed, her body enveloped in a crimson glow.

The stone walls were covered with numerous profound fire-attribute runes, and the temperature in the chamber was very high.

After a moment, a sound transmission talisman flew in and landed before her.

The red glow around Wang Huayue dissipated. She opened her eyes, expelled a red light from her mouth that struck the talisman, causing it to spontaneously ignite. Wang Yibing's anxious voice emerged: "Ancestor Huayue, this is bad! Foreign races are attacking, led by the Fiery Flame Race."

"Foreign races are attacking!"

Wang Huayue frowned, stood up, and exited the chamber. A massive silver light screen enveloped most of the Five-Light Mountain Range, with lightning patterns visible on its surface.

Dozens of foreign cultivators were besieging the Five-Light Jade mine. Leading them were a graceful young woman in a green dress and a muscular man with a tiger's head and a human body, wearing a golden robe.

The young woman in the green dress had flame-like markings on her face, identifying her as a member of the Fiery Flame Race.

This was Qing Yao, a mid-Integration cultivator and a rising star of the Fiery Flame Race.

As the older generation of Integration cultivators passed away, the new generation began to emerge.

The golden-robed man was Hu Yu, also a mid-Integration cultivator.

The Beastmen currently had seven Integration cultivators publicly known. Two of them had recently overcome their fourth major heavenly tribulation, and three were stationed in their main stronghold.

For this battle, the Fiery Flame Race ordered the Beastmen to send three Integration cultivators. If not for the Fiery Flame Race frequently conscripting Beastmen Integration cultivators for battles or dangerous missions in the desolate lands, the number of Beastmen Integration cultivators would be more than a single digit.

The situation of the Beastmen was a true reflection of other smaller ethnic groups on the Profound Spirit Continent. Their patrons would never tolerate their continuous growth and expansion. Every ten or twenty thousand years, they would be conscripted to initiate large-scale racial wars or undertake hazardous missions. Coupled with bottlenecks and major heavenly tribulations, the number of Integration cultivators in these smaller groups generally remained in the single digits.

Even if, hypothetically, the number of Integration cultivators in these smaller groups reached double digits, spiritual items aiding breakthroughs to the Grand Ascension stage were incredibly rare. Furthermore, with the formidable obstacles of inner demons and the eighty-one heavenly tribulations, it was truly difficult for a small group to produce even one Grand Ascension cultivator.

Had it not been for the demise of the Void Race and the Fiery Flame Race acquiring the Heavenly Void Jade Tome, which recorded powerful secret techniques, they would not have their current standing, at most being a slightly stronger subordinate race.

"Fellow Daoist Hu, Fellow Daoist Xiong, let's attack together and capture this place. It will then return to your Beastmen's control."

Qing Yao instructed.

All she cared about was capturing this stronghold; she had no concern for the casualties of the Beastmen.

The Fiery Flame Race had cultivated several cultivators within the Beastmen. Even if the current Beastmen chieftain was dissatisfied and wished to betray the Fiery Flame Race, other clan members would not agree. Even if he successfully betrayed them, it was not certain that humanity would grant the Beastmen any special favors.

The strong prey on the weak; this has been the rule since ancient times and will never change.

If your strength is insufficient, you can only fight for others; if you are strong enough, others will serve you.

Hu Yu nodded and activated his Dharma Idol to attack the Five-Light Mountain Range.

Inside the silver light screen, Wang Huayue and Wang Yibing floated high above, each holding a silver array disk. They had already sent word to the family, requesting reinforcements.

With five Integration cultivators among the enemies, capturing this stronghold would be quite difficult.

Wang Huayue and Wang Yibing chanted incantations into their array disks. A rumbling thunder resonated from high above, and thousands of thick silver lightning bolts tore through the sky, striking towards Hu Yu and his companions.

The Beastmen had originally set up a defensive array here, but the Wang family deployed the Sky Thunder Spirit Extermination Array, with a seventh-tier low-grade lightning-attracting orb as its core. Otherwise, Wang Huayue and Wang Yibing would not have been stationed here, given their relatively lower cultivation.

Hu Yu and the others dared not be careless. They quickly summoned their treasures or unleashed their divine abilities to defend against the incoming silver lightning.

A continuous roar resounded as various spiritual lights illuminated the sky, sending rolling waves of energy.

In the Sky-Kun Mountain Range, an earthy yellow light screen covered most of the area. A team of cultivators was attacking the light screen, led by a pot-bellied old man in a golden robe and a tall, slender young woman in a green dress.

The golden-robed old man had natural flame-like patterns on his body, while the young woman in the green dress had multiple eyeballs on her, identifying her as a member of the Multi-Eyed Race.

The golden-robed old man was Jin Feng, a mid-Integration cultivator, and the young woman in the green dress was Yu Zhu, an early-Integration cultivator.

They had dispatched five Integration cultivators and over thirty Void Refinement cultivators to attack the Sky-Kun Mountain Range. The Bone Race suffered heavy losses in the last battle and could not recover quickly enough to spare many Integration cultivators. Thus, the Fiery Flame Race had drawn three Integration cultivators from the Multi-Eyed Race to participate in the battle.

If the Bone Race could not recover its vitality, it would likely decline, and a new race would take its place. This had been the way since ancient times; many races, unable to regain their strength, slowly vanished into the long river of history.

Wang Yi'er and Wang Zongyun controlled the array, resisting the attacks of the foreign cultivators.

They had already requested reinforcements from the family, and help was on the way.

The Fiery Flame Race and the Yaksha Race were launching a large-scale invasion, attacking strongholds controlled by humanity.

Qinglian Island, Qinglian Peak.

Chen Yueying, Wang Changsheng, and Wang Ruyan were seated in a green stone pavilion, while Wang Yihong was reporting on the situation.

"The Silver Shark Race is firmly defending and not venturing out. One important stronghold has four or five Integration cultivators, and even Yi Dao and his team's combined assault couldn't take it," Wang Yihong reported.

The Fire Pig Race and six other clans were not particularly strong to begin with. Over the past ten thousand years, the sea domain had seen multiple conflicts, resulting in the loss of several Integration cultivators for these seven clans. They had not yet recovered their vitality, and now, with another major war erupting, it was understandable that they could not withstand humanity's advance.

Most of the stronger clans belonged to the Golden Scale Race. In terms of foundation, the Silver Shark Race was far inferior to the Lizard Race. For a subordinate race of the Silver Shark Race to have five Integration cultivators was already considered strong; most subordinate races only had two or three. Thus, it was not surprising that the strongholds of the seven clans were breached.

The Silver Shark Race was now defending staunchly and strengthening its defenses. Wang Yidao and others organized several attacks, but only managed to kill two Integration cultivators and failed to capture another clan's stronghold.

"It seems Yin Qing has sent people to request aid from the Fiery Flame Race and the Yaksha Race, hoping they will dispatch troops to relieve pressure on the Silver Shark Race," Chen Yueying analyzed.

Just then, Fang Ming hurried over, his expression panicked: "This is terrible, Martial Aunt Chen! Yan Zheng of the Fiery Flame Race is attacking the main headquarters. We won't be able to hold out for much longer."
