Chapter 124: The Peril of Earth Flame Island
Chapter 124: The Peril of Earth Flame Island
After placing Li Fengyue's coffin into the small ice cave chamber, the Xuanyu Python then burrowed into the upper cold cave and brought the coffin of Li Menghu, the ancestor of the Li clan's revival, to the small ice cave. Then, it returned and brought two late-stage Foundation Establishment ancestors, Li Gongshang and Li Shoujiang, into the small ice cave. Only then did Yang Jiuli stop the Xuanyu Python.
Although his mental strength has increased significantly at this time.
However, controlling too many cultivator 'heroic spirits' at the same time will also affect performance and waste mental energy.
Instead, we should concentrate our forces, deliver a thunderous blow to the enemy, and pull off a big heist.
Therefore, the ancestors that Yang Jiuli had the Xuan Yu Python bring out this time were all in the late Foundation Establishment stage.
"Next, we need to find an opportunity to leave this Little Flame Island!" Yang Jiu murmured.
Fearing that the Li family would find out, he did not take the coffins of those ancestors too far away, but left them on the island.
……
At this moment, inside Yunmeng Lake.
The Qi Refining cultivators of Black Wind Mountain swept through like locusts, breaking the restrictions on one medicinal island after another, seizing their medicines, and destroying their mountains.
This resulted in huge losses for the Li family.
Although the Li family had late-stage Qi Refining cultivators blocking their way, they were unable to stop the Qi Refining cultivators from Black Wind Mountain.
In an instant, the cultivators of Black Wind Mountain advanced towards the inner lake.
By the time the Li family gathered their forces to intercept the Black Wind Mountain cultivators, the Xuan Yin Valley cultivators had already broken into the inner lake area.
By the time the Li family discovered this, it was too late.
Kuang Guang divided his troops into two groups.
They led three brothers and three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators straight to Earth Flame Island to break the 'Separating Fire Gathering Spirit Array'.
The twelve cultivators at the late stage of Qi Refining flew towards the various islands along the way.
In just a quarter of an hour, these late-stage Qi Refining cultivators easily broke through a second-tier grand formation with the help of their "Restriction-Breaking Talismans," slaughtering many of the Li family members inside. After looting the area, they flew directly towards Little Flame Island.
"Tsk tsk, I heard that Little Flame Island is the Li family's alchemy ground, hiding a lot of pills. This time, we must plunder it all." The leader, a cultivator with a ferocious look and wearing a dark green robe, grinned and led eleven cultivators to fly towards Little Flame Island at high speed.
This person's name is Kuang Yun, and he has reached the tenth level of Qi Refining.
……
Meanwhile, Kuang Guang, Kuang Xiong, and Kuang Liming had already arrived outside Earth Flame Island.
The second-tier formation of Earth Flame Island itself has been activated, evolving into a flame shield to protect the entire island.
In addition, at the center of the island, a beam of light shot into the sky from the main hall of the array chamber, evolving into a light pattern array that soared into the clouds.
The dense fire elemental energy was continuously transmitted towards the array light screen in the sky.
As the three Kuang brothers flew in, fire elemental energy condensed into a blade high in the sky and slashed down at them.
Clearly, Li Changyan and Li Qufeng, inside the array chamber on Earth Flame Island, discovered the cultivators from Xuan Yin Valley and thus took action.
However, Kuang Guang snorted coldly, and with a flick of his hand, a disc made of purple-gold flew out from his palm and hovered in the air.
A gray light curtain descended from the disc, enveloping the three people and the two Qi Refining cultivators behind them.
Moreover, the interwoven light patterns within the perfect circle actually evolved into a vortex.
When the fiery blade struck down, it was like entering the ocean, without shaking the disc, let alone injuring Kuang Guang and the others below.
"This is a second-tier top-grade spiritual artifact, the 'Sea of Evil Compass'!" Inside the array room, Li Changyan's face turned extremely ugly upon seeing this scene.
At this moment, on the array platform, several cultivators from the Li clan sat cross-legged beside several array pillars.
Among them were Li Yourong, Li Feiyu, and Li Wannian.
There were also Li Ruoyu's great-great-grandson Li Xian and Li Jun's grandson Li Chengzhi, among other core talents of the Li family.
Li Xian's wife, Fu Jiaojiao, was also in the battle room.
Twelve late-stage Qi Refining cultivators and two Foundation Establishment cultivators worked together to control the 'Separating Fire Gathering Spirit Array' to defend against the enemy.
After witnessing the people from Xuan Yin Valley dive into the inner lake, their faces turned solemn.
"Li family, it's time for you to pay the price!" Kuang Guang stared coldly at the Earth Flame Island in front of him. Then, with a flick of his hand, a talisman filled with gray energy appeared in his palm. With another flick of his hand, the talisman flashed and flew forward.
call!
As the talisman flew away, a gray light emanated from it, and an incredibly terrifying power suddenly burst forth from it.
Inside Earth Flame Island.
Li Changyan immediately set up an aerial formation, and in the high sky, streaks of fire slashed down at the flying talisman.
Fireballs also fell, attempting to intercept the talismans.
However, the power unleashed by this talisman was too great. Gray light bloomed and filled the void, like a sharp celestial blade, tearing apart the fire blades. The vast power surged outwards, directly shattering the fireballs that had not yet fallen in the sky.
Taking advantage of this moment, the talisman appeared like a startled rainbow in an instant on the protective light shield above Earth Flame Island.
boom!
Then, the talisman, sharp as a blade, pierced the crimson protective shield of the island, and the power within it was fully unleashed.
A blazing light burst forth, and surging energy raged, causing the crimson light shield to tremble and actually dent.
Even the light cover began to crack.
Layer upon layer of energy fluctuations swept from the light shield towards the island.
An ancient tree on a mountain peak on the island turned to dust.
Inside Earth Flame Island, both Li Changyan and Li Qufeng felt a tremor in their hearts.
However, the two of them forcibly held on, using their powerful divine sense to control the power of the formation, diverting their magic power to flow towards the depression, causing the cracks in the depression to be repaired instantly. Not only that, a vortex also evolved within the shattered light screen, like a black hole absorbing the impact force and integrating it into the formation. The terrifying impact force was gradually calmed down.
"As expected of a second-tier top-grade formation!" Outside, seeing this scene, Kuang Guang said calmly, "Let's attack together and see how long they can hold out!" As he spoke, he moved his palm, and light patterns flashed in his palm, directly revealing several talismans.
These are all second-tier talismans.
There is a 'Wind Blade Talisman'
There is a 'Wind Spear Talisman'
After being activated, the various talismans transformed into wind blades and wind spears that attacked the array light shield in front.
Boom! Boom!
The array's protective barrier trembled continuously under the impact, cracks appeared, and were repaired.
Kuang Xiong and Kuang Liming, who were standing nearby, also joined in.
With a flick of his hand, Kuang Xiong directly summoned a second-tier superior-grade 'Black Gold Mountain Seal'.
The seal expanded to a size of ten zhang and blasted towards the array light barrier in front of it.
boom!
Under the bombardment of this precious seal, the formation trembled. Li Changyan and Li Qufeng, who were controlling the formation with their divine sense, both felt their divine sense being impacted by the vast power. However, they had no choice but to forcibly stabilize their minds and continue to mobilize the power of the formation.
However, under such consumption, their spiritual power will eventually be exhausted.
At that time, the formation was uncontrolled and could be easily broken.
"If this continues for too long, the formation will surely break!" Li Feiyu frowned as he stood by the formation pillar.
He looked at the old man Li Changyan in front of him with a pained expression.
The old man's face turned pale, and his consciousness was clearly damaged.
If this continues, it may damage the very foundation.
Li Yourong was also filled with sorrow.
Originally, the Li family had four Foundation Establishment cultivators, and with Gongsun Yang and Xu Huaiyi, that made six.
There were also two Foundation Establishment level demons and a Foundation Establishment puppet.
With the addition of this top-grade second-tier 'Fire Gathering Spirit Array', we have no fear of external enemies.
Unfortunately, Gongsun Yang and Xu Huaiyi betrayed them, using a barrier-breaking talisman to open the formation from the inside, allowing the Xuan Yin Valley cultivators to infiltrate.
This development has clearly taken a wrong turn.
"Where's the Fu family? Why haven't they come to their aid yet?" Li Wannian, standing nearby, exclaimed loudly, his eyes darting around.
As he spoke, Li Wannian looked at Li Xian and Fu Jiaojiao, who were standing under the array pillars beside him.
The Fu family and the Li family formed an alliance.
We had agreed long ago that we would stand together through thick and thin.
If the Li family encounters an enemy, the Fu family should come to their aid immediately.
The Fu family agreed and has been sending two Foundation Establishment stage elders to live near the Li family in Daze County in recent years.
Logically speaking, the Li family should have sent a signal long ago, and the Fu family should have arrived by now.
However, even with their array observations, they couldn't find any trace of the Fu family cultivators by the lake.
Immediately, Li Yourong, Li Feiyu, Li Chengzhi and other members of the Li family all looked at Li Xian.
"Jiaojiao, your great-uncle..." Li Xian looked at his wife, Fu Jiaojiao, beside him.
"My Fu family has always been on high alert!" Fu Jiaojiao frowned and then said, "Perhaps they have been intercepted outside."
puff!
As he spoke, Li Changyan, who was standing next to him, spat out a mouthful of blood.
It was clear that his consciousness had been affected by the external attack.
"We can't wait any longer!" Li Chengzhi frowned upon seeing this.
As he spoke, he moved his hand, and a jade box appeared in his palm.
Inside was a Foundation Establishment Pill.
"Chengzhi, what are you doing?" An elderly man with a white beard frowned and asked.
This man's name was Li Fuhai, and he was Li Chengzhi's uncle.
"If my Li family doesn't gain another Foundation Establishment cultivator... not only will we be unable to defend Earth Flame Island, but even the family head will find it difficult to defend against the enemy."
Li Chengzhi said.
Upon hearing this, everyone frowned.
At this point, they had focused most of their formation power on Earth Flame Island, making it difficult to deal with the Black Wind Four Fiends and their group by the lake.
This put immense pressure on Li Ruoyu, who could only continuously unleash talismans to attack the Black Wind Four Fiends and their group, trying to buy time.
"That's the only way!" Upon hearing this, Li Xian's gaze sharpened, and he took out a jade box.
Clearly, the two were preparing to attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
The two had already accumulated extremely powerful magical abilities, and now they were just one step away from achieving their goal!
"Alright, we'll try to buy as much time as possible!" Seeing this, the old men steeled themselves.
They focused all their divine senses on the array pillars, channeling the power of the fire spirit to maintain the formation.
Li Xian and Li Chengzhi moved swiftly and flew towards the edge of the array chamber.
There are also several cultivation rooms there, which can help people draw upon the power of the earth's veins and increase the success rate of foundation building.
"Sigh!" Upon seeing this, Li Yourong sighed softly.
Although the foundation building process focuses on accumulating magical power, one's state of mind is also extremely important.
With a formidable enemy at hand and time pressing, it is clearly not the time to establish a foundation.
However, if they do not establish a foundation, once the formation is broken, they too will perish.
……
Meanwhile, on Little Flame Island...
Kuang Yun of Xuan Yin Valley led eleven late-stage Qi Refining cultivators in a surprise attack.
"Brothers, give it your all and break this formation! We can't let the people from the Black Wind Mountains steal the pills inside."
Kuang Yun shouted loudly.
As he spoke, he moved his hand, and a short shuttle appeared in his palm, flashing with dark light.
This is a mid-grade second-tier spiritual artifact called the "Breaking Restriction Shuttle," which is specifically used to forcibly break through restrictions and seals.
As soon as the short shuttle flew out, it spun in the air, emitting bursts of cold light.
