As Wang Mengbin appeared, he activated a spell, and silver light emanated from his body, causing a gigantic humanoid phantom to materialize out of thin air.
The humanoid phantom opened its mouth and spat out a thick silver lightning bolt, which shot directly towards the female phantom.
Wang Mengbin gripped the Five-Thunder Halberd with both hands, channeling his magic power into it. The halberd surged with countless five-colored electrical arcs, striking Tong Yan's protective aura. Five-colored lightning enveloped Tong Yan's figure.
The female phantom was engulfed by the silver lightning, and a woman's shriek echoed.
Tong Yan spat out a large mouthful of blood, her face turning pale.
"Late Integration stage, when did you advance to the Late Integration stage?" Tong Yan exclaimed, her face filled with disbelief.
According to intelligence reports, Wang Mengbin was only in the Mid Integration stage. It's impossible for him to have advanced to the Late Integration stage in less than three thousand years!
Wang Mengbin had no interest in explaining. He activated a spell, and the right hand of his Dharma Idol lifted high. A deafening thunderclap roared from the sky, and a thick silver lightning pillar descended, striking Tong Yan.
A rumbling thunder echoed as silver lightning engulfed Tong Yan's body, followed by a piercing female shriek.
Jin Yuyan's body transformed into a ball of four-colored flames. Upon closer inspection, the four-colored flames shimmered with spiritual light, revealing themselves to be a substitute artifact.
The four-colored flames then turned into three colors and vanished from the spot.
A cluster of crimson flames lit up beside Bai Yuqi, revealing Jin Yuyan's figure. If not for the substitute artifact, she would have lost her life.
A purple light illuminated the void a hundred miles away, revealing Tong Yan's figure. The moment she appeared, a deafening thunderclap resounded from high above. A thick silver lightning pillar descended towards Tong Yan, while simultaneously, a powerful gravitational force emanated from the ground, pulling her body uncontrollably downwards.
As a dense barrage of spell lights attacked from the front, Tong Yan hastily conjured a small purple-glowing umbrella. It floated above her head, releasing a large swath of red light that enveloped her.
A series of rumbling explosions erupted, and multi-colored spiritual light engulfed Tong Yan's figure. A thick five-colored lightning arrow shot forth and pierced through the spiritual light, followed by a tragic female scream. A miniature Nascent Soul had just left her body when it was enveloped by a red light and pulled into a red gourd.
"You actually advanced to the Late Integration stage!" Feng Xuan exclaimed in surprise.
He knew that over two thousand years ago, Wang Mengbin was still in the Early Integration stage. He found it difficult to comprehend how Wang Mengbin could have advanced to the Late Integration stage so quickly.
"An Ephemeral Origin Fruit!" Feng Xuan's gaze became fervent. It wasn't surprising for Wang Mengbin to have reached the Mid Integration stage in less than three thousand years, but to advance to the Late Integration stage, he must have consumed an Ephemeral Origin Fruit.
Wang Mengbin had eliminated Tong Yan, and Harlangtai's expression turned grim. With this, they still had nine Integration-stage cultivators on their side, while the human and Spiritfire race cultivators combined numbered seven, but three of them were in the Late Integration stage.
"Fellow Daoist Feng, retreat quickly!" Harlangtai decided to retreat and sent a voice transmission to Feng Xuan. If the human Integration-stage cultivators returned, they would truly be unable to escape.
Feng Xuan hesitated slightly. Wang Mengbin, Jin Yuyan, and Revered Master Canghai were in the Late Integration stage, and Bai Yuqi was a Tier 7 formation master. It would be quite difficult for them to eliminate Wang Mengbin and the others in a short time.
In their plan, Feng Xuan was supposed to eliminate either Jin Yuyan or Revered Master Canghai, and then quickly eliminate the other Integration-stage cultivators. Wang Mengbin's advancement to the Late Integration stage and his elimination of Tong Yan had disrupted their plan.
"Retreat!" Feng Xuan violently flapped his wings, stirring up a fierce gale. A swirling greenish tornado swept out and bore down on Wang Mengbin.
Wang Mengbin wielded the Five-Thunder Halberd, unleashing a thick five-colored lightning blade that shattered the greenish tornado.
Harlangtai swung his three-pointed double-edged halberd, striking towards Canghai Sect's protective formation. The other seven Integration-stage cultivators followed suit, attacking the grand formation.
There were three Barbarian Integration-stage cultivators; their immense strength made their destructive power astonishing.
A tragic male voice sounded as the yellow-robed man was engulfed by silver lightning. Bai Yuqi and the others naturally seized this opportunity to cast spells and attack their enemies.
Harlangtai's group of nine had no choice; five Integration-stage cultivators engaged in defense, while four attempted to break the formation.
Relying on his Lightning Evasion Art and Seven-Colored Divine Lightning, coupled with the cooperation of Revered Master Canghai and four others, Wang Mengbin successively killed two Integration-stage cultivators.
Harlangtai took a deep breath, shook his sleeve, and a gleaming golden long staff shot out, emitting terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations. It was indeed a high-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, the Barbarian tribe's ancestral treasure. The human race also possessed high-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures, so in a fight to the death, Harlangtai might not have the advantage.
He gripped the golden staff with both hands, channeling his magic power into it. The golden staff burst forth with dazzling golden spiritual light and smashed towards the protective formation.
Feng Xuan conjured a greenish curved blade, striking towards the protective formation. At the same time, he spun on the spot, transforming into a greenish tornado that slammed into the grand formation.
With an earth-shattering roar, the protective formation shattered into pieces.
Harlangtai and his remaining six flew off in different directions, moving exceptionally fast.
"Pursue them! Don't let them escape!" Revered Master Canghai transformed into a long blue rainbow and chased after them.
"Madam Jin, please stay! Fellow Daoist Lan and I will go after them." Wang Mengbin suggested, gently flapping the silver wings on his back, vanishing from his spot.
Not long after they gave chase, five Integration-stage cultivators returned from the front-line stronghold. It was fortunate that Harlangtai and the others had fled quickly, otherwise, they would surely have been annihilated.
Bai Yuqi let out a sigh of relief and removed the formation.
Yang Yan directed the disciples to clear the battlefield and collect the bodies.
Half a day later, Wang Mengbin and Revered Master Canghai returned.
"Fellow Daoist Lan, Fellow Daoist Wang, did you catch them?" Jin Yuyan asked with concern.
"We eliminated three Integration-stage cultivators and killed Feng Xuan once, but he had a substitute artifact and got away. After this battle, their strength has been significantly diminished," Revered Master Canghai said excitedly. This time, they had eliminated seven Integration-stage cultivators, with Wang Mengbin contributing immensely. If not for Wang Mengbin, Revered Master Canghai and Jin Yuyan would have been in grave danger, and they wouldn't have achieved such a great victory.
"Give the order for a full-scale counterattack. Losing seven Integration-stage cultivators in one go, they must be severely weakened," Jin Yuyan said in a deep voice.
Revered Master Canghai nodded, and the order was quickly relayed.
The human and Spiritfire races launched a major counterattack. Previously at a disadvantage, they suddenly gained the upper hand. Ultimately, the direction of this war depended on the divine abilities of the Integration-stage cultivators.
The Profound Crane Tribe, Barbarian Tribe, and Chi Tribe all withdrew their forces, abandoning large territories, and strengthening the defenses of important strongholds. They relied on formations to defend, no longer actively attacking, and focused entirely on defense.
The human race also did not advance too rashly, steadily pushing forward step by step.
News of the events on Canghai Island quickly spread throughout Canghai. The name "True Monarch Zixiao" became known everywhere, to everyone.
After occupying a significant amount of territory, the human race did not continue to advance. It seemed they had no intention of unifying Canghai. To unify Canghai, Harlangtai and Feng Xuan would have to be eliminated.
