Chapter 3572: Facing the Strong Enemy

Wang Ruyan instructed them to eliminate the enemies, and they did. However, the enemies possessed substitute artifacts.

A burly young man in a red shirt stood on the beach, his face slightly pale. He had been wounded by Wang Chan's soul attack. Two thick yellow chains bound his feet, their other ends buried deep in the ground.

The red-shirted youth opened his mouth and spewed out a stream of crimson flames onto the yellow chains, which instantly shattered.

A large wave of golden light swept towards him. The red-shirted youth formed a hand seal, and a colossal, shimmering golden lion phantom appeared above his head. The phantom opened its maw and unleashed a brilliant golden flame, blocking the incoming golden light.

Two golden scissors, gleaming with spiritual light, shot towards him. The red-shirted youth spat out a golden banner. It spun rapidly in mid-air, growing immensely in size and erupting with a vast expanse of golden flames, enveloping him.

The golden flames surged violently, and two golden fire pythons emerged, blocking the two golden scissors.

A multitude of yellow light spots appeared in the void, instantly transforming into massive yellow boulders, each a thousand zhang wide, crashing down from above.

The golden sea of fire surged, and crimson fire spears shot forth, shattering the incoming yellow boulders.

A thunderous roar resounded, dust filled the air, and crimson firelight illuminated the high sky.

The red-shirted youth sensed something. His body radiated intense golden light, transforming into a colossal red lion.

The red lion merged with the lion phantom, its size exploding. The intense heat tore at the void as it opened its massive maw and unleashed a thick stream of crimson flames, leaving a white streak in the void, hurtling straight towards Wang Chan and Wang Chan.

Wang Chan conjured a golden shield, holding it before him.

With a loud bang, the crimson flames engulfed the golden shield.

After a gentle breeze passed, a shimmering golden cicada appeared behind the red lion.

The crimson flames suddenly swirled, heading straight for the golden cicada.

The golden cicada spewed a hazy golden halo that swiftly swept over the red lion's body. Soul-Devouring Forbidden Light!

This was a new divine ability mastered by Wang Chan. The stronger his soul, the greater the power of this ability. Even against another early Mahayana cultivator, it wouldn't obliterate their soul, but severely wounding them was certainly possible.

The red lion let out an excruciating scream, its body trembling uncontrollably.

The golden cicada spewed a burst of golden misty light, enveloping the red lion's body. A miniature lion flew out from within the red lion, was enveloped by the golden mist, and vanished into the golden cicada's mouth.

As the fierce flames dispersed, the red lion lay on the ground, its body unmarked by injuries. The golden banner also fell to the ground.

"An eighth-tier Soul-Devouring Golden Cicada! This is rare! You killed my spirit beast; don't even think about surviving."

A cold, ruthless male voice resonated.

No sooner had the words fallen than hundreds of thousands of crimson fire spears, each over ten zhang long, shot forth, as if to impale the Soul-Devouring Golden Cicada and turn it into a sieve.

Just as the Soul-Devouring Golden Cicada was about to evade, a golden light flashed, and a shimmering golden peak appeared out of thin air, crashing down head-on.

Before the golden peak even landed, a powerful gravitational force enveloped it. The Soul-Devouring Golden Cicada felt as if it were stuck in a mire, completely unable to escape.

Just then, a long white staff swept in, striking the golden peak and sending it flying backward.

A red light flashed, and a crimson net, flickering with light, appeared out of thin air, descending upon it. The Soul-Devouring Golden Cicada was ensnared by the red net, struggling violently but to no avail.

The runes on the red net glowed brightly, and a stream of crimson flames erupted, engulfing the Soul-Devouring Golden Cicada's body.

A hazy golden halo swept across, passing over the Soul-Devouring Golden Cicada's body. The Soul-Devouring Golden Cicada and the red net transformed into a massive piece of gold.

Numerous crimson fire spears shot forth, shattering the enormous gold block. With a flash of spiritual light, a section of a spiritual, three-colored bamboo appeared. The three-colored bamboo was broken, clearly a substitute artifact.

A golden light illuminated by Wang Chan's side, revealing Wang Chan's figure. Fortunately, he had transformed into human form, allowing him to use the substitute artifact. Had he not, he would have perished.

The yellow light barrier rippled, and an opening appeared. They flew into the yellow light barrier, and the opening sealed shut. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan stood high in the sky, their expressions solemn.

A crimson-glowing dragon boat flew in from afar, moving exceptionally fast.

Huo Yunzi, Qin Qianqian, Jin Hong, Luo Xiao, and five other Mahayana cultivators stood on the deck, their expressions cold and indifferent.

"You've advanced to the Mid-Mahayana stage!"

Luo Xiao exclaimed in surprise, sensing the terrifying spiritual pressure emanating from Wang Changsheng. He was fortunate he had retreated quickly; otherwise, he would have faced great misfortune.

"Stop wasting words with them. Break the formation and destroy them."

Huo Yunzi's expression turned cold. With his spirit beast, cultivated for many years, dead by Wang Chan's hand, his killing intent intensified.

He formed a hand seal, and four to five hundred thousand crimson fire spears, each over ten zhang long, materialized in the void, a truly astonishing display of power.

The dense barrage of crimson fire spears flew directly towards the yellow light barrier. Luo Xiao and the others also made their moves, attacking the yellow light barrier.

In terms of the number of Mahayana cultivators, the Wang family was no weaker than their opponents: Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, Liu Hongxue, Wang Yidao, Wang Qingxiao, Wang Chan, Wang Chan, Wang Yulan, Wang Tun tian, Wang Xiuluo, and Wang Na Luo. However, Wang Yulan had not advanced to the Mahayana stage long ago, and most of them were in the early Mahayana stage.

The enemies had three Mid-Mahayana cultivators, not to be underestimated.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan each held a yellow-glowing formation plate in their hands, imbuing it with hand seals.

If they focused solely on defense, the enemies wouldn't be able to breach the grand formation so quickly.

It wasn't that they dared not fight; there were many clan members on the island, and they needed to buy time for them to teleport away.

Only after their clan members had departed could they fully engage the enemies.

With a deafening roar, various spiritual lights engulfed the yellow barrier, and the entire Green Lotus Island shook violently.

The sea surface churned violently, and the sound of crashing waves echoed. Towering tidal waves surged skyward, heading straight for Huo Yunzi and the others.

Luo Xiao spewed hazy golden sound waves, blocking the incoming towering tidal waves.

Blue runes emerged in the void, transforming into blue water blades, each over ten zhang long, hurtling towards Huo Yunzi and the others.

"Small Accomplishment in the Spirit Domain!"

Huo Yunzi's expression hardened, his tone grave.

He had never imagined that True Monarch Tai Hao had cultivated his Spirit Domain to the Small Accomplishment stage. The Tang Clan had not informed him of this, either because they intentionally concealed it or because True Monarch Tai Hao had always hidden his true strength.

Huo Yunzi leaned towards the latter explanation. Fortunately, they had been cautious, deploying eight Mahayana cultivators, plus Luo Xiao. Taking down the Wang family should not be a problem.

Jin Hong's expression tightened as he softly said, "He only advanced to the Mahayana stage less than twenty thousand years ago. How could he have cultivated his Spirit Domain to the Small Accomplishment stage? Does he possess a special spiritual physique? Or does he have an auxiliary treasure or a Myriad Spirit Dao Fruit?"

"Regardless of which it is, we'll find out once we kill him."
