Just as the human cultivators and demonic beasts were fighting on the surface of the sea, three loud booms resounded in the air. In the sky above the gigantic water ball, three huge illusory magic tools appeared one after another. One was a sword, one was a mirror, and one was a book. The giant sword slashed across the sky, the mirror shot out a huge beam of white light, the book pages flipped, and dozens of powerful spells exploded.
The three attacks smashed towards the water ball at the same time. Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Ping hurriedly led the six cultivators back to Xuan Qi Island. The cultivators on the surface of the sea were quick to react and quickly avoided the battlefield.
When the three attacks smashed into the water ball, a few rays of light flashed from the water ball. It was as if the three attacks were working together from the inside. The gigantic water ball shook a few times and finally collapsed. A huge amount of seawater poured down from the sky like the Milky Way. At the same time, a large number of Core Forging Enlightened Masters' spells came crashing down. The human and demon cultivators who were still fighting on the surface of the sea were caught off guard. Hundreds of them were either smashed into the sea or hit by the spells. Many cultivators and demonic beasts didn't come out of the sea again. Those who did were those with high cultivation, and most of them were injured.
When Lu Ping and the other cultivators saw this shocking scene, they were all dumbfounded. They secretly rejoiced that they had escaped fast enough.
Deafening roars of anger resounded in the sky, accompanied by the curses of the Core Forging Daoist Masters of the human race. It seemed that both sides had suffered losses, and both sides were furious. The surface of the sea suddenly became strangely calm, and both the human and demon races stopped fighting, as if foreshadowing an even greater battle was about to take place.
The cultivators from Zhenling Sect had already gathered on their side of the sea. Lu Ping stood in the crowd and saw that almost one-third of the cultivators on Xuan Qi Island had died. Half of the remaining people were injured. Xuan Ling Sect must not have had it easy either. However, he didn't know how many losses the demon clans had suffered. However, the demon clans had ambushed the two sects when they were unprepared, so their losses should be smaller.
Hundreds of Blood Condensation Realm cultivators gathered together, but they were still shrouded by the aura of the Core Forging Enlightened Masters in the sky. The atmosphere on the surface of the sea was oppressive.
At this moment, the sky above Xuan Qi Island suddenly darkened. Snowflakes started falling from the cloudless sky and a gust of cold wind blew past, causing Lu Ping to shiver uncontrollably. He turned to look at the other cultivators and saw that they too had strange expressions on their faces.
The cold wind swept up the feather-sized snowflakes, forming a spectacle on the surface of the sea. At the same time, it surged towards the gathering place of the Demon Race in the Eastern Sea Region. The surging waves on the surface of the sea seemed to be frozen.
When the Demon Race saw the snowstorm sweeping over, they knew that an expert from the Human Race had descended. All of them went into an uproar. Right at this moment, a deafening roar came from the east of the sea. A huge column of water spurted out from the surface of the sea, and then a huge monster broke out of the sea a few miles away. It was as if an island had suddenly emerged from the sea. The surging seawater quickly surged over, blocking the sweeping wind and snow in front of the demon beasts.
A majestic voice came from the huge monster a few miles away, "Wind and Snow Immortals, did the two of you know that the Demon Race was coming?"
An ethereal and gentle voice sounded, "How could we? It's just a coincidence! If we had known that Fellow Daoist Kong Jing would be gracing us with his presence, perhaps we would have made preparations in advance. "
The two experts exchanged a few words, and then no longer said anything, as if they were waiting for someone.
On the surface of the sea, Zhenling, Xuan Ling Sect, and the Demon Race were facing each other. Only Xuan Ling Sect's cultivators were stirred. Obviously, both Zhenling and the Demon Race had sent out their important figures, and Xuan Ling Sect had lost a head for no reason. At this moment, as if some news came from the Xuan Ling Sect's cultivators, the restless crowd finally quieted down.
Only then did Lu Ping realize that Xuan Ling Sect's cultivators were much fewer than Zhenling's. Could it be that Xuan Ling Sect's losses from the Demon Race's sneak attack were much higher than Zhenling's?
Lu Ping remembered that he had asked Hu Lili to report the situation to the sect's higher-ups. It seemed like the sect had already taken measures in secret.
Sure enough, a moment later, behind the southern Xuan Ling Sect's cultivators, a red light suddenly lit up, as if the sun had risen in the evening, dyeing the clouds in the southern sky red.
An angry voice rang out, "Everyone, you've come so early! It seems like we, Xuan Ling Sect, are late again! "The voice was filled with anger and a trace of resentment.
A chuckle came from Zhenling's side, followed by a woman's voice, "Senior Martial Brother Qiu, you came at the right time. In that case, dismiss the juniors."
At this time, Enlightened Master Qu suddenly appeared and said to the Zhenling Sect's cultivators, "Brats, there's no need for you anymore. Go back to Xuan Qi Island."
The Zhenling Sect's cultivators were already suffering from the oppressive atmosphere, so when they heard Enlightened Master Qu's words, they immediately dispersed. The situation was similar for Xuan Ling Sect and the demons.
On their way back to Xuan Qi Island, Lu Ping's group of seven was unusually excited, wondering if the last four people to appear were Laozu of the Transcendence Realm. At the same time, they marveled at the power of a Core Forging Enlightened Master, their expressions filled with yearning.
Lu Ping was also shocked by these masters' methods. From the beginning to the end, other than Enlightened Master Qu, there were no other Core Forging experts above the Core Forging Realm. Yet, everyone seemed to be able to sense their presence. At that moment, they seemed to be in control of that part of the world, controlling the direction of the situation.
The battle between the two sects stopped the moment the demons attacked. At this time, many cultivators on Xuan Qi Island were waiting for the sect's higher-ups' orders, guessing the direction of the North Sea's situation.
Lu Ping listened to the crowd's discussion, and for the rest of the time, he was busy with his own matters.
Master Immortal Liu was injured. This time, he was seriously injured. Master Immortal Liu was about to break through in seclusion, but when he heard about the demons' attack, he also went to the battlefield.
Everyone in Group 7 went to check on him.
In the cultivation room, Master Immortal Liu's face was still pale, but his injuries had stabilized. Obviously, he was given high-quality healing pills. After all, he was a core disciple of the sect.
The disciples asked Master Immortal Liu about the three-party conflict and the upcoming situation of the North Sea.
Master Immortal Liu did not hide anything and told them everything he knew.
Sure enough, Zhenling had prepared for the demons' attack, but the sect wanted to avoid this point. He only said that the Wind and Snow Immortals were invited by his disciple, Enlightened Master Xuan Yu of Di Kun Island, and coincidentally encountered the demons' attack on Xuan Qi Island. Since they were close, they rushed over.
As for the three Core Forging Enlightened Masters who arrived after Zhenling, Zhenling said that they were going to explore a cultivator's cave abode in the distant sea and happened to pass by. It was a "coincidence." However, the Mysterious Water Array was obviously destroyed by a coordinated attack. Without prior cooperation, how could such a powerful array be broken in one blow?
Master Immortal Liu sighed. Enlightened Master Xuan Yong and a first-stage Core Forging Enlightened Master had fallen, and two Enlightened Masters were seriously injured. However, Xuan Ling Sect's losses were even worse. They lost four Core Forging Enlightened Masters, one of whom was a mid-stage Core Forging Enlightened Master, and the other three were seriously injured. Xuan Ling Sect was in deep trouble. A mid-stage Core Forging Enlightened Master was equivalent to three early-stage Core Forging Enlightened Masters.
The demons didn't have much of an advantage either. Xuan Ling Sect killed two Manor Masters, including a mid-stage Core Forging Manor Master, and heavily injured two others. Xuan Ling Sect also risked their lives to kill one Manor Master and heavily injure three others.
Although Zhenling suffered the least losses in this battle, the demons still had the upper hand when compared to the North Sea Alliance and the demons.
