Chapter 3858: The Hidden Power of the Changyuan Clan

Xia Sibing's body glowed brightly as she conjured a shimmering white shield and advanced to meet the attack. Silver lightning struck the white shield with a muffled thud, causing the shield to tremble slightly. A giant yellow hand suddenly appeared and slapped the white shield, sending it flying backward. The shield then slammed heavily into Xia Sibing, propelling her backward.

Before she could even land, a thick golden light beam shot out from the ground, hurtling directly towards her. Xia Sibing had no time to dodge, and a white light barrier instantly appeared around her body. The golden light beam struck the white barrier, which shattered instantly like thin paper. The beam then pierced through Xia Sibing's body. Her form lit up with a dazzling spiritual glow and transformed into an Immortal Puppet Talisman. With a soft "poof," the Immortal Puppet Talisman burned to ashes.

A white light flashed in the void near Xia Qiyao, revealing Xia Sibing's figure. Her expression was grave. Having lived for hundreds of thousands of years and weathered countless storms, she was naturally not so reckless; the Immortal Puppet Talisman was merely a decoy.

Other True Immortal cultivators were not as fortunate, finding themselves under attack from the formation. Bai Jianghe conjured a shimmering blue orb, which transformed into a thick blue water curtain, shielding him. His expression was solemn.

"Immortal Extermination Cannon!" Bai Jianghe exclaimed in surprise. Following his gaze, one could see a large, golden, shimmering cannon, its runes flickering. The Changyuan Clan had actually acquired a low-grade Immortal Extermination Cannon. Trapped within the formation, it would be difficult for them to escape quickly.

"Madam Xia, quickly help us break this formation! If we fall, you won't fare any better!" Bai Jianghe shouted, his voice filled with anxiety. The Bai family had accidentally acquired the soul of a True Immortal-stage Golden Qilin Worm, which they refined into an immortal artifact for breaking formations. They had intended to achieve great things with this treasure, but unexpectedly, they had walked straight into an ambush. The Changyuan Clan was willing to pay such a high price, using dozens of True Immortal cultivators as bait; otherwise, their enemies would not have fallen into the trap.

The golden cannon lit up with a dazzling golden light and unleashed a thick golden light beam directly at Bai Jianghe. Simultaneously, massive silver lightning bolts descended from high above, striking towards Bai Jianghe and his companions. Yue Lei swung his yellow spiked club, striking the silver light barrier with a muffled thud. As hundreds of thick silver lightning bolts descended, his body glowed intensely with yellow light, and a formidable yellow battle armor materialized, protecting him completely. Simultaneously, the ground beneath them transformed from earth to sand, and a colossal sand pit suddenly appeared, swallowing entire mountain peaks. Countless yellow sand arrows shot skyward, directly towards the descending silver lightning bolts. With a series of rumbling explosions, the yellow sand arrows blocked the incoming silver lightning, but soon, more silver lightning bolts struck down.

Outside the silver light barrier, as Wang Qingling and her companions prepared to cast spells to attack the formation, the seawater surged violently. Two massive water spouts shot skyward, heading directly for Wang Qingling, Xia Sibing, and the others. Wang Qingjing opened her mouth and spat out a white light, which struck the water spouts, instantly freezing them. The ice spread rapidly. Then, two enormous blue sea clams surfaced. As they opened, a team of cultivators could be seen inside. Inside one clam shell stood over twenty True Immortal cultivators, led by a thin old man in a golden robe and a beautiful young woman in a silver dress. The golden-robed elder was at the late True Immortal stage, while the silver-dressed young woman was at the mid True Immortal stage.

In a battle tens of thousands of years ago, the Changyuan Clan's losses had not been significant.

"Fu Feng, you're actually alive?" Xia Sibing was somewhat surprised to see the golden-robed elder. Fu Feng was a True Immortal cultivator renowned for many years, who had not appeared for over 300,000 years. Rumors claimed he had perished, and the Changyuan Clan had never denied it. It was unexpected that he was still alive.

"Madam Xia, long time no see. Do you truly believe that mere numbers can defeat our Changyuan Clan?" Fu Feng sneered. The Changyuan Clan had concealed over thirty True Immortal cultivators; had Xia Sibing and her group not initiated the attack, they would not have revealed themselves.

"Kill them all, leave no one alive." The silver-dressed young woman's tone was icy. Yuan Long, a hidden powerhouse of the Changyuan Clan, had opened four apertures. In this grand battle, the Changyuan Clan's true strength was fully revealed, and not a single opponent could be allowed to escape. To lure their enemies into the trap, Fu Yan and dozens of other True Immortal cultivators were sacrificed. To prevent soul-searching that might reveal the ambush, clan members whose physical bodies were destroyed self-detonated their Nascent Souls, incurring significant losses. Using dozens of their own True Immortal cultivators as bait was a grand scheme, and it was no wonder Bai Jianghe and Tong Ruoshui fell for it.

A cloud of purple miasma emerged in the void, taking the form of Yang Chunqiu. He broke out in a cold sweat, realizing that if he hadn't escaped quickly, he too would have been trapped by the formation.

"What an elaborate scheme! To lure us into your trap, you used dozens of True Immortal cultivators as bait." Xia Sibing said with a frown, acknowledging that she lacked such ruthless audacity.

"How else could we have lured you into this? It's a pity about Fu Xin, but we won't let them have died in vain." Fu Feng's face was filled with killing intent. He formed a hand seal, and a large expanse of crimson flames erupted from his body. With a single punch, a red flaming fist shot out, carrying astonishing heat, directly towards Xia Sibing.

Xia Sibing shook her sleeve, and a suit of armor flew out, landing on her body and protecting her entirely. It was the Chaos Armor. The Xia family, with its long heritage, still possessed considerable hidden resources.

Xia Qiyao shook her sleeve, and a red-glowing flying boat shot forth, carrying a large red cannon. Xia Qiyun conjured hundreds of thousands of purple ants. Their mouthparts were exposed, and a pair of thin golden wings protruded from their backs, making them appear incredibly ferocious. These were Golden-Winged Soul-Devouring Ants, incredibly venomous and capable of soul-related divine abilities. She formed a hand seal, and hundreds of thousands of Golden-Winged Soul-Devouring Ants swarmed directly towards their opponents. Simultaneously, the red cannon glowed with a dazzling red light and unleashed a thick red light beam, shooting directly towards Fu Feng and his group.

Yuan Long formed a hand seal, and the seawater surged and roiled, raising towering waves that crashed towards Wang Qingling and her group. Simultaneously, a heavy rain began to fall from high above, but before the raindrops could land, they transformed into blue water spears, hurtling directly towards them. The Law of Water! At the same time, fierce winds began to blow, and green tornadoes appeared on the sea surface, heading straight for them.

"Don't hold back," Wang Qingling commanded. "Eliminate them as quickly as possible. Let's finish this swiftly." Wang Qingling commanded, then took out a pale golden horn with an exotic beast pattern carved on its surface. A loud horn blast echoed, and a golden sound wave swept forth, shattering the descending blue water spears.

Wang Qingbai formed a hand seal, and numerous flower petals drifted down from the void. These petals blurred and transformed into sharp blades, flying directly towards their opponents. Wang Lihe and his two companions formed sword seals, and nine flying swords soared out from their scabbards. They circled high in the air, and after a piercing sword hum, a vast expanse of sharp sword qi swept forth, striking towards their opponents.

Wang Qingjing and Wang Qingling's bodies shone with brilliant spiritual light as they merged into a single entity, transforming into a ten-thousand-foot-long white flood dragon. Their aura surged dramatically, elevating them to the mid-True Immortal stage. The ability of a Spirit Master to merge with their innate spirit beast to temporarily boost their strength was not a secret.

The white flood dragon swayed its head and tail, rushing directly towards Yuan Long with incredible speed. Yuan Long conjured a blue-glowing shield, positioning it in front of her. Simultaneously, she conjured five shimmering blue orbs. As she infused them with a hand seal, the orbs rapidly expanded in size and hurtled towards the white flood dragon.
