Chapter 1008: Chapter 973: Forbidden Zone
The Sky-reaching Giant Tree erupted from the ground, instantly sending the sixth-order Crab Devil flying, the terrifying power crushing its carapace inward, leaving it mortally wounded with a single blow.
But this Crab Devil indeed had some skills, saving its life in the critical moment, otherwise, the wound would have been more than just severe.
"Retreat!"
After shouting this, it fled into the deep sea without looking back, wanting to heal its injuries as quickly as possible.
Meanwhile, the water devils from the Sea Clan who were locked in fierce battle with the Li Family Cultivators were all trying to find ways to break away from the battlefield, fearing that if they were even a bit slow, they would be surrounded by cultivators and lose their lives.
"Phew!"
Seeing this scene, Li Zhirui heaved a sigh of relief.
This round of Sea Clan’s attacks was finally over!
If the Sea Clan had persisted for another hour or two, the Li family would not have been able to hold on!
The number of Li Family Cultivators was too small, and even after trying all possible methods, most of the clan members had reached the end of their tether, their mana having been drained dry.
If the battle continued, they would have to resort to extreme methods, such as forcibly reversing mana without refinement, which would damage the meridians.
Using this method, even if they could fend off this round of the Sea Clan’s invasion, what could they use to resist the next? It would only be a temporary relief for a chronic malady.
Therefore, the first thing Li Zhirui did upon returning to the island was to urge the Array Masters to quickly deduce the Island Defense Array, enhancing the defensive power, and to buy more time for the clan members to recover their mana.
"Jiu, the battle in both flanks of the sea area hasn’t ended yet, should we go and help?" Da Qing worried that if they could not hold on, it would drag down the Li family.
Li Zhirui flew into the sky and took a serious look at the situation on both sides, saying, "It seems they don’t need our help, and since they haven’t asked, there’s no need to step in proactively."
Besides, given the current state of the Li family, what could they use to help others? Better to focus on recovering mana and wait for the next round of the Sea Clan’s invasion!
——
In a sea region tens of thousands of miles away, the ocean’s surface was a bloody and ruthless battlefield, with innumerable cultivators ranging from Nascent Soul Realm to Tribulation Transcendence Realm and various ranks of the Sea Clan, all can be seen here, the number probably reaching tens or even hundreds of millions.
Therefore, the battlefield was vast, stretching for thousands of miles from north to south, with lives being lost at every moment, staining the vast sea area crimson.
But that’s not the point!
The focus is the space above this sea area, where terrifying energy fluctuations erupt from time to time.
Here is a forbidden zone for mortal beings, the place where Immortal Realm forces of both factions battle!
The higher the cultivation, the more difficult it is to kill, so the main goal of both sides in the Immortal Realm is not to slay their opponents but to inflict serious injuries, incapacitating them from battle for a short time.
Of course, this so-called short time is actually not short at all; it’s at least several decades.
Unlike the Mortal Realm battlefield, where the cultivators have the upper hand, the Sea Clan in the Immortal Realm actually has the upper hand, and the group of Immortal Tao Great Abilities can only resist with difficulty.
It is not that the cultivators are too weak but that there are too few of them!
Because it was a sudden attack launched by the Cave Abyss Sect in conjunction with the other four Immortal Realm Forces, many cultivators from other Territories of the East Continent had not yet arrived, hence naturally at a numerical disadvantage.
If not for the fact that Immortal Dao has developed myriad skills, providing them with ample support and solving many troubles, how could they have persisted until now?
Of course, the fact that Immortal Dao forces are at a disadvantage on a decisive battlefield seems like a massive flaw in the Cave Abyss Sect’s strategy, but this is only temporary and has actually brought more benefits to Immortal Dao.
The first is the location of the battlefield; it has now been completely pushed into the East Sea. Even if a fierce battle erupts, it will not affect the coastal areas of the East Continent but will cause significant damage to the East Sea.
Secondly, battles between Immortal Realms often take a long time to decide a winner. The Immortal Realm forces of these five powers may be in a dire state, but they are far from being critically hit and routed.
As long as they wait for other Immortal Realm Forces from the East Continent to arrive, Immortal Dao can turn the tide and then figure out a way to achieve victory.
The last point is that many Immortal Dao forces have begun to construct Spirit Islands on the East Sea. Even if, by that time, they cannot expand Immortal Dao’s domain to the entire nearshore area of the East Sea, as long as they can keep these sea regions, they can still expand the territories of Immortal Dao and enhance the Qi Fortune of Immortal Dao.
Twenty to thirty Individual Immortals from Immortal Dao, under the leadership of several Human Immortals, are enduring hard battles against the Sea Clan of the Immortal Realm and waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
The battle between Immortal Realms conveys a sense of profound simplicity, appearing quiet and uneventful, but in reality, it is a clash and contest between laws.
The intensity is even less dramatic than the battles among the Mortal Realm below, where fists meet flesh, and blood splatters, and masses of beings die every moment.
But whether they are cultivators or members of the Sea Clan, they seem to have no fear of death, charging into the battlefield one after another. Some are lucky enough to survive the first battle, but in the incessant melee, there are no invincible warriors, and without timely withdrawal, death is almost inevitable!
——
Wanxia Sea Domain.
A battle that had lasted for several days finally came to a close.
All Immortal Dao Forces held their positions in their respective sea domains!
This was not because Immortal Dao was too strong or the Sea Clan was too weak, but rather with the involvement of the Yuan Sect and the Zhang Family, a large number of cultivators targeting a small part of the Sea Clan, how could they possibly lose?
