Lu Ping's actions completely infuriated the Ice Shura that was chasing him. After the two of them exchanged blows, no less than seven or eight Great Shuras had already fallen under Lu Ping's sword, including two Great Shuras that were equivalent to late stage Core Forging cultivators.
When the Ice Shura saw that it couldn't catch up to Lu Ping, it seemed to have made up its mind in its rage and suddenly stopped moving.
Lu Ping thought to himself, "Oh no!" and was about to turn around and rush toward the Ice Shura!
The ice sword in the Ice Shura's hand had turned into an ice bead the size of a pellet. The Ice Shura spat it out of its mouth and smashed toward the island's protective formation like lightning.
Lu Ping's pair of flying swords missed, but Lu Ping didn't even look at the ice bead. After the Fainting Autumn Sword missed, the Thin Water Flowing Sword had already turned around from the Ice Shura's back. The two swords combined and stabbed toward the Ice Shura's back.
The Ice Shura released eighteen ice walls in a row and finally managed to block the two swords. Meanwhile, screams of pain came from Frost Island behind Lu Ping.
The ice bead pierced through Frost Island's protective formation in one fell swoop. Three of the Zhenling cultivators behind the formation were pierced by the ice bead. The cold energy carried by the ice bead flowed through the blood vessels of the wounds and into the victim's heart space, turning them into ice sculptures. Then, as the heart space exploded, the ice sculptures shattered into ice shards.
A second generation Core Forging cultivator tried to stop the ice bead, but the ice bead was the Ice Shura's companion spirit treasure after all. It wasn't something a late stage Core Forging cultivator could stop. The ice bead directly shattered his natal artifact and went straight for his head under his despairing gaze.
Just as the Zhenling sect was about to lose another late stage Core Forging cultivator, the ice bead suddenly shot back without warning.
The second-generation cultivator coughed up a mouthful of blood due to the destruction of his magic treasure, but there was no joy in his eyes. Instead, there was a hint of sorrow.
Originally, although this person's chances of advancing to the Dharma stage were slim, there was still a sliver of hope, giving him some hope to work hard. But now that his Natal Treasure had been destroyed, it had directly injured his foundation. Even if his injuries recovered in the future, the damage to his foundation would destroy his last hope of advancing to the Dharma stage.
Perhaps even he himself knew that even if that sliver of hope was not extinguished, with his abilities, it was almost impossible for him to advance to the Dharma stage in the future. But sometimes, people would always rely on hope to improve their mental state.
But now, this person didn't even have any hope. Although he still had over a hundred years before his lifespan came to an end, these hundred years were nothing to him, and he was just a walking corpse.
Looking up, he saw that Lu Xuanping, who was in the sky, had somehow combined the four flying swords into a great sword formation. Taking advantage of the time when the Ice Shura's Natal Treasure flew away, he had already trapped the Ice Shura in the sword formation.
No wonder the ice bead suddenly returned when it was about to take his life!
With Martial Nephew Lu's unfathomable level of cultivation, if the Blood Shura lost his Natal Treasure, perhaps he really wouldn't be a match for him!
Perhaps the people in the sect who really had the hope of advancing to the Dharma stage would always be people like Martial Nephew Lu Xuanping. His dream of advancing to the Dharma stage was just a self-deceiving dream!
"Junior Brother Zhou, how are you?"
Forefather Tian Shu had sensed that something was wrong when the Ice Asura suddenly attacked Frost Island with her lifebound spirit treasure. But by the time he reacted, the ice sword had already pierced through the island's protective formation and killed several people in a row.
Zhenren Zhou laughed bitterly and said, "No worries, I can still hold on!"
Tian Shu Laozu sighed and turned to walk out of the island.
With Tian Shu Laozu's vision, he could see everything that had happened to Zhenren Zhou. However, these things couldn't be explained away with words.
Just as Tian Shu Laozu walked to the island's protective formation, a rainbow bridge had already crossed over the sea.
The rainbow light flashed with intoxicating colors, but Tian Shu Laozu's eyes were dark. He reached out with his right hand, and a slingshot appeared in his hand. His left and right palms lit up, and a golden pellet was pinched into the slingshot with his left hand. With a sudden pull and release, the golden pellet turned into a golden arc in the sky, and then collided with the rainbow bridge.
Ever since Tian Shu Laozu lost to Lu Ping, Tian Shu Laozu reflected on the painful experience and studied many spells and techniques. This increased his ability to adapt to the situation, and at the same time, increased his strength significantly.
However, Tian Shu Grand Ancestor knew very well that this so-called increase in strength wasn't because he still had great potential. Instead, it was because his original strength hadn't been fully unleashed after entering the Avatar Realm. This was also the reason why Tian Shu Grand Ancestor didn't have any offensive moves against Lu Ping. In the end, he could only rely on his cultivation base to suppress Lu Ping. But in the end, he was defeated by Lu Ping.
Four colors of the rainbow light were destroyed by Tian Shu Laozu's golden pellet, but the remaining three colors still collided with the island's protective formation.
Tian Shu Laozu's expression was dark. At this moment, he had used up all his previous strength, and had yet to recover. He forcefully condensed a spell and attacked, but it wasn't even thirty to forty percent of his usual power. He only managed to knock down two colors, and the remaining color could no longer be stopped, and directly collided with the island's protective formation.
At the core of the Mother-Child Traction Formation, Spiritual Master Xuan Chen shook his head helplessly. He took out the stone that had been embedded into the formation plate that had already turned into pieces, and then replaced it with a supreme grade spirit stone.
At the same time, there were several disciples walking around on the enormous formation plate. From time to time, they would remove the high grade spirit stones embedded into the formation plate that had used up all their spirit energy, and replace them with high grade spirit stones that were full of spirit energy.
Only the dozen or so grooves around Spiritual Master Xuan Chen were embedded with supreme grade spirit stones, and Spiritual Master Xuan Chen was personally replacing them. Underneath the formation plate, the few spirit veins that Zhenling had accumulated on Frost Island were also providing endless spirit energy to the formation plate.
Tian Xue Laozu stood at the side and said, "Senior Brother, I'm afraid that Tian Shu won't be able to hold on for long!"
At the side, Tian Fan Laozu didn't reply immediately. Instead, he stared for a moment before saying, "Just this much effort alone has already used up a huge amount of high grade spirit stones and supreme grade spirit stones. However, there's no other way. That Jade Shura is definitely hiding in the surroundings right now. The moment you make a move and get entangled by the other Mara, that Jade Shura will definitely make a move. At that time, even if I make a move, I'm afraid that I won't be able to stop the Jade Shura from breaking the formation!"
Tian Xue Laozu said, "But that hidden Blood Demon still hasn't shown himself. Even if we work together to stop the Jade Shura, that Blood Demon is enough to be the key to breaking the formation. Moreover, this time, Mara is attacking Frost Island en masse, but there are too few devil cultivators among them!"
Tian Fan Laozu was still indifferent. Tian Xue Laozu said anxiously, "Ling Gu Sect and Soaring Feather Sect are already shrinking the island's great formation. They are retreating towards the spirit vein at the center of Frost Island. Mara has already successfully landed at the place where the two sects are stationed. If …"
Tian Fan Laozu suddenly said, "This Ling Gu Sect and Soaring Feather Sect are really useless. However, Junior Sister, where do you think that Xiang Lou is right now?"
Tian Xue Laozu was stunned and said, "Senior Brother thinks that he will come here?"
Just as Tian Xue Laozu finished speaking, a cultivator-like person dressed in snow-white clothes suddenly appeared in the sky above the Frost Island's great formation.
The Jade Shura had appeared!
Unlike Blood-Devil Luo's red eyes, Jade Shura looked like a normal human. But she had a unique aura that was like the condensation of the original spirit. If she appeared in front of a cultivator, she would not be able to hide it.
However, when they used their unique escape arts, the aura of spirit energy became the best way for them to hide their aura. It was the best way to attack and kill cultivators.
The entire sea seemed to be boiling. The Jade Shura was high up in the sky, as if she was the king of the sea. The angry seawater surged as if it wanted to bury the entire Frost Island at the bottom of the sea.
Boom, boom, boom, boom …
The sects that were still defending the island's great formation without retreating all collapsed the moment the Jade Shura appeared. The entire island's great formation began to shrink inwards in a strange way.
As long as they could protect the large spirit stone mine in the center of Frost Island, then the defense of Frost Island could be considered a victory.
Jade Shura's appearance had completely changed the situation on the battlefield. The enemy was strong, and they were weak. The cultivators of the North Sea had to quickly pull back their battle lines, abandon their previous strategy of fighting individually, and work together to fight the enemy. Perhaps that was the only way they could protect the spiritual stone mine under the siege of Devil Luo.
Except for Zhenling!
Zhenling was still guarding the outer perimeter of Frost Island, not allowing Mara to land on Frost Island from the area Zhenling was stationed at.
The Frost Cliff where the medium-sized spirit stone mine was had been built into a temporary palace by Zhenling. However, the location of the palace was not far from the coast. Therefore, the other sects could retreat, but Zhenling could not!
This mid-sized spirit stone mine had attracted a lot of envy, jealousy, and hatred for Zhen Ling Sect in the past few decades. This time, the cultivators hiding at the center of Frost Island could finally rejoice in Zhen Ling Sect's misfortune!
You deserve it, aren't you? Who told you to take it all for yourself!
Although the cultivators of the sects would not say these words out loud, everyone understood that without the lips, the teeth would be interdependent. Without Zhenling, the other sects of Frost Island would not be able to resist the siege of Mo Luo's army even if they joined forces.
Therefore, the cultivators of the sects, from Laozu to the ordinary cultivators, were furious that Zhenling was still stubbornly defending that medium-sized spirit stone mine!
At this time, he was still guarding that spirit stone mine without letting go. Was he going to give up the large spirit stone mine on Frost Island for that medium-sized spirit stone mine?
The curses gradually rose. Although Laozu did not say anything with a dark face, the disciples of his sects, including the usually prestigious Core Forging cultivators, also began to curse loudly. Was Zhenling going to drag the entire North Sea cultivation world down for a medium-sized spirit stone mine?
If they could survive this, they might have to reduce Zhenling's share of this large spirit stone mine!
Yes, that was how it should be!
For a moment, although the cultivators of the sects still looked impassioned, their thoughts were all conveying the same thought. Even the old and steady Dharma adepts seemed to be moved. Between the looks of their eyes, it was unknown what kind of plan they were conveying that could only be understood but could not be put into words.
