Chapter 3856: Attack on Red Rainbow Island

In a sea area near Red Rainbow Island, a team of cultivators was patrolling, led by a graceful young woman in a white dress.

The sky was clear, and a gentle sea breeze was blowing.

They flew overhead but found nothing unusual.

Deep beneath the sea, a colossal blue crab was slowly advancing. Its two eyes swiveled continuously, appearing remarkably lifelike.

A few moments later, the blue crab stopped in front of a coral reef.

Inside the blue crab, within a hundred-zhang space, Wang Qingling and others were conversing.

Wang Meng was also present; she had already advanced to the True Immortal stage. Wang Qingjing had consumed the Sacred Spirit Immortal Apricot and the Nine Spirit Immortal Fruit but failed to cultivate into a true spirit, with her bloodline purity only reaching seven. In contrast, Wang Meng, upon hatching, already possessed a bloodline purity of seven; the difference was significant.

According to the plan, they would launch a multi-pronged attack to see who could penetrate Red Rainbow Island first.

The advantage of splitting their forces was to motivate everyone and prevent anyone from slacking off. However, the disadvantages were also clear: the Changyuan race would have the opportunity to concentrate their superior forces to severely damage or even annihilate one of the teams.

Wang Qingling and her group were all at the early True Immortal stage. The difference was that Wang Qingling, Wang Qingbai, Xiahou Yao, Wang Qingjing, and other members of the Wang family had opened four apertures, making them slightly stronger.

The Wang, Xia, Bai, and Water Charm families had each dispatched over thirty True Immortal cultivators, but Wang Qingling's team was comparatively weaker.

"There's an alert formation ahead," Lan Yigan said, "it will be difficult to sneak past undetected."

"It's not too late for us to make our move," Wang Qingling said, "once Fellow Daoist Xia and his group begin attacking Red Rainbow Island."

She was quite cautious. While taking the lead in landing on the island could yield significant benefits, the risks were also considerable. As they were the weakest of the four teams, it was better to proceed cautiously; there was no need to rush.

"How about we control the Changyuan race's patrolling cultivators and have them lead us through?" Wang Qingbai suggested.

"If I were a high-ranking member of the Changyuan race," Wang Qingling retorted, "I would certainly have strengthened defenses and be waiting for the enemy to walk right in. It's better to wait for the Xia family to make their move before we act. Let's not be the first to stick our necks out."

Wang Qingling rejected Wang Qingbai's suggestion, believing in acting according to one's capabilities.

She took out a spirit-glowing Communication Immortal Mirror, her brows furrowing. She walked to a corner and casually released a blue light barrier, enclosing herself. She cast a spell, and Wang Qiulin appeared on the mirror's surface, his expression solemn.

"Tenth Aunt," Wang Qiulin said, "I performed a divination for Fellow Daoist Yang and Fellow Daoist Yue. This expedition carries an ominous sign for them. Please be careful and don't rush into danger."

Diviners can predict good or ill fortune. Wang Ruyan had dispatched Yang Chunqiu and Yue Lei to battle partly to facilitate Wang Qiulin's divinations.

"Understood."

Wang Qingling nodded, her expression solemn. It seemed this battle would not be as smooth as she had imagined. She would need to be extra cautious. She put away the Communication Immortal Mirror and dispelled the blue light barrier.

Wang Qingjing took out a jade disc shimmering with blue light. She cast a spell into it, and a man's voice echoed: "Fellow Daoist Wang, the Xia family and Bai family have already launched their attack on Red Rainbow Island."

They had dispatched spirit race cultivators to gather intelligence, as such trivial matters were naturally handled by outsiders. Wang Qingjing looked at Wang Qingling, seeking her opinion.

"We can make our move now," Wang Qingling instructed, "but don't rush in; be careful."

The blue crab's body glowed brightly with blue light. Its two eyes each shot out a beam of blue light, striking a point in the void. The void rippled, and a faint, shimmering light barrier appeared.

The blue crab's two colossal claws waved incessantly, tearing the transparent light barrier to shreds, and it headed straight for Red Rainbow Island.

Red Rainbow Island was enveloped by a thick red light barrier, adorned with a rainbow pattern on its surface.

Fu Xin, Yuan Yan, and over thirty other True Immortal cultivators stood above the island, their expressions varied.

The east, south, and west directions were all under enemy attack. Spells and immortal artifacts struck the red light barrier, causing it to tremble slightly.

"Act according to the plan," Fu Xin stated, "and block them from different directions."

To the east, Xia Sibing and over thirty True Immortal cultivators attacked the red light barrier. Ten of the True Immortal cultivators wielded long blades imbued with flowing red light. The red blades were identical in appearance, clearly part of a set of immortal artifacts.

They simultaneously swung their red blades, slashing towards the void above Red Rainbow Island. Each produced a crimson blade light that surged forth, converging into a single point. A massive red blade then appeared and struck towards Red Rainbow Island.

The other twenty-plus True Immortal cultivators each displayed their divine abilities, attacking Red Rainbow Island.

Fu Xin held a formation disk constantly shimmering with blue light. He cast several spells into it. The sea surface violently churned, and massive water-wave tornadoes shot skyward, meeting the incoming attacks.

Loud rumbling sounds echoed, and various spiritual lights illuminated the sky.

To the south, Bai Jianghe and over thirty True Immortal cultivators were attacking Red Rainbow Island. Their dense attacks landed on the red light barrier, causing it to indent and shimmer continuously with spiritual light. Yuan Yan and over ten other True Immortal cultivators retaliated. Protected by the formation, Bai Jianghe and his group were temporarily unable to overcome Yuan Yan and her group.

A colossal blue crab floated on the sea surface, as Wang Qingling and her group attacked the red light barrier.

A stout, red-robed old man stood high in the sky, his brows tightly furrowed. Fu Yan, at the middle True Immortal stage, led over ten True Immortal cultivators to meet Wang Qingling and her group. Over forty True Immortal cultivators were divided into four directions to confront the enemies. They were outnumbered, but fortunately, protected by the formation, the Changyuan race's True Immortal cultivators remained safe.

After more than an hour, the red light barrier's spiritual glow appeared slightly dimmer. Fu Xin and his group felt the strain, but they were still able to resist.

"Ancestor, it's time to use that treasure," Bai Yilong transmitted to Bai Jianghe.

Bai Jianghe nodded. He raised his right hand, and a gourd shimmering with erratic blue light flew out. He cast a spell into it, and the blue gourd unleashed a vast expanse of blue seawater.

The blue seawater churned and surged, transforming into a colossal blue water dragon which lunged towards Red Rainbow Island.

Two red halberds flew towards it. The blue water dragon's claw suddenly slammed down, sending the two red halberds flying.

The blue water dragon's massive body crashed into the red light barrier, causing it to indent.

The blue water dragon opened its maw and spat out a golden-glowing orb. "No good, quickly block this treasure!"

Yuan Yan cried out inwardly in alarm. Her first thought was that it was a formation-breaking immortal artifact.

Bai Jianghe cast a spell. The golden orb spun rapidly, releasing dazzling golden light, and transformed into a colossal Golden Ni Worm.

The artifact spirit had materialized.

The Golden Ni Worm let out a piercing shriek and spat out a stream of golden mist. It landed on the red light barrier, causing the red light barrier's spiritual glow to dim.

This was the Spirit-Breaking Forbidden Light, the Golden Ni Worm's unique divine ability.

"Golden Ni Worm, Spirit-Breaking Forbidden Light."

Yuan Yan's expression turned grim.

A red light flashed. A colossal white seal appeared and slammed down. At the same time, Bai Yilong and other True Immortal cultivators launched their attacks at the area enveloped by the golden mist.

After a tremendous roar, the red light barrier shattered like a bubble.

With the formation broken, Yuan Yan and her group were immediately exposed to Bai Jianghe and his group.

Bai Jianghe cast a spell. The white seal unleashed a vast expanse of white chilling qi and struck towards Yuan Yan.
