Zhenling always worried about inequality rather than scarcity, and the cultivation world was no exception!
Zhenling's sole possession of a medium-sized spirit stone mine with abundant reserves had already made many cultivators in the North Sea envious. Now that Frost Island was being attacked by Mara, and Zhenling was fighting a bloody battle for its own spirit stone mine, the first thing that came to the cultivators' minds was not to join forces to defeat the enemy, but rather to hope that this spirit stone mine would be destroyed by Mara's hands!
Of course, it would be best if both sides suffered heavy losses, and Zhenling would lose one or two Dharma adepts because of this, even if they were heavily injured!
This was the nature of human nature, and even cultivators were no exception!
Fortunately, with a great enemy in front of them, the cultivators of the various sects could not do things like backstabbing. After all, the crisis on Frost Island had not been resolved yet. At the very least, the sects understood that without the lips, the teeth would be interdependent. Therefore, after the various sects pulled back to the center of Frost Island, the protective shield of the island where Zhenling was stationed and the center of Frost Island was not destroyed by the swarming Mara. Laozu of the various sects sent their cultivators to protect this path of retreat for Zhenling, and Zhenling also sent many of his disciples here to join forces with the cultivators of the various sects, blocking Mara who intended to cut off the connection between the two sides.
Of course, the reason why the sects put in so much effort was not just because without the lips, the teeth would be interdependent. It was because when the Jade Shura appeared, there were two auras that rose from Zhenling's garrison that made Laozu of the various sects shocked and bewildered them!
They were shocked because these two auras were too familiar to the North Sea cultivation world's Laozu, to the point that they were horrified.
The Wind and Snow Immortals. In the era when Xuan Ling Sect still dominated the North Sea cultivation world, these two were the only ones in the North Sea who could defeat Laozu at the same time. They were also the most solid foundation for Zhenling to restrict Xuan Ling Sect.
Even after Celestial Phenomenon Laozu became a grand adept and became the new symbol of Zhenling, the name of the Wind and Snow Immortals still shook the entire North Sea cultivation world. This was because when people thought of Zhenling, they would not only think of Celestial Phenomenon Laozu, but also Zhenling, who had the Wind and Snow Immortals, had two Dharma adepts, and Zhenling had the most basic requirements of a large sect.
However, they were puzzled. Hadn't Patriarch Tian Fan already gone to the East Sea? How long had it been since he went to the East Sea? When did he return to the North Sea? Why didn't the sects know?
Why did Tianfan Laozu sneak into Frost Island so secretly without letting any of the forces in the North Sea know?
Looking at the sky full of Mara, could it be that Zhenling had already predicted that Mara would start a war of this scale, and had even predicted that Jade Shura would make a move?
Or was this a plot by Zhenling?
No matter how many times Laozu's thoughts turned, the current grim situation made it impossible for the sects to care about anything else. At least the appearance of the Wind and Snow Immortals had lifted the morale of the North Sea cultivators, who had been low because of Jade Shura's appearance.
Pitter-patter!
However, the joy of the appearance of the Wind and Snow Immortals was immediately drowned out by the crowd's fear. At this time, people remembered that the three of them were almost equivalent to two great Dharma adepts in battle. When the three of them fought, unless they were adepts of the same level, even early Dharma adepts could be affected by the aftermath of the battle.
An invisible wave rippled out from the center of the three's battle. Within a radius of a few hundred feet, Minor Repairs Shura below the Core Forging stage were all turned back into the source of heaven and earth. The Grand Shura also suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, these Grand Shura were alert, and most of them stayed away when the two sides were fighting.
This wave also affected the human adepts on Frost Island. Even with the protection of the island's protective formation, many Blood Condensation adepts still bled from the mouth and nose of the battle.
A Jade Shura's strength was only equivalent to a mid Dharma adept's, but if the companion spirit treasure of the Jade Shura, which was equivalent to a second disaster spirit treasure, was included, then its strength could be close to that of a great Dharma adept.
One only had to look at the Vast Sea Relic and the invincible Ancestor Tian Kang who wielded the second calamity spirit treasure, the Mountain Splitting Axe, to know how powerful a second calamity spirit treasure was in the hands of a mid Dharma adept.
However, there was a difference. The Mountain Splitting Axe was not Tian Kang Laozu's life treasure, but the companion spirit treasure and companion spirit treasure in the hands of every Shura was something that had accompanied them since they were born. Therefore, the power of the companion spirit treasure in the hands of a Jade Shura was even stronger than that of Tian Kang Laozu, who wielded the Mountain Splitting Axe.
Although the Wind and Snow Immortals' participation in the battle did not change the situation of the battle, it greatly raised the morale of all the sects on Frost Island. Moreover, under the attack of the Wind and Snow Immortals, although the Jade Shura could protect herself, it was extremely difficult for her to gain the upper hand.
The battle between Lu Ping and the Ice Shura had reached its climax. The companion spirit treasure that could quickly switch between ice sword and ice bead was firmly suppressing Lu Ping. If it was not for the incredible defensive power of the fluttering flag above Lu Ping's head after it returned to being a spirit nurturing spirit treasure, Lu Ping might have been able to escape from the Ice Shura's relentless attacks, even if he was not injured.
Although Lu Ping had used the four flying swords, Beautiful Autumn Waters and Thin Water Forever to form the Sea of All Rivers Sword Formation, hoping to completely trap the Shura within the sword formation.
However, after the companion spirit treasure returned, the ice bead first turned into an ice sword that crashed into the sword formation, and then turned into a giant ice ball.
The Ice Shura directly melted into the ice ball, and just like that, it ignored the tens of thousands of sword lights formed by the four flying swords and rushed out.
After that, Lu Ping was once again at a disadvantage in the battle against the Ice Shura. Fortunately, Lu Ping had a treasure like the Water Controlling Flag, which allowed Lu Ping to withstand the Ice Shura's pressure.
The Water Controlling Flag was originally a treasure left behind by Jiao Yuqiang, the master craftsman of the Fei Ling Sect. After it was completely repaired by Lu Ping, its power had been completely restored. In addition, Lu Ping had condensed nine Shield of Vigor into one, and he had recently mastered the great protective power, Water Curtain Heaven Splendor.
When the Water Curtain Heaven Splendor was used with the help of the Water Controlling Flag, Lu Ping finally understood how Jiao Yuqiang was able to withstand the combined attacks of three or four early Dharma adepts with just a treasure that had just entered the Spirit Cultivation stage.
Lu Ping had used the great protective power of the Water Controlling Flag to directly block the attack of the companion spirit treasure. Although the shield had been pierced, the ice sword was also at the end of its strength after piercing through the water curtain of the Water Controlling Flag. Before Lu Ping could use any other methods to block it, the Ice Shura had already withdrawn the ice sword.
At this time, Lu Ping finally realized that in the sky above Frost Island, there were more than ten Blood Shura participating in the battle against Frost Island. Other than the four that Zhenling was dealing with, the other sects' Laozu were also fighting with the Blood Shura.
However, what shocked Lu Ping was that among these ten or so fighting groups, the ones fighting were all Blood Shura. There was not a single Blood Demon. However, when Mara was attacking Frost Island, he could clearly sense the presence of the Blood Demons.
In addition, the number of Demonic Cultivators in Mara's army had obviously decreased. The uneasiness in Lu Ping's heart had already become stronger. Where did these Demonic Cultivators go, and what were they doing?
Naturally, Lu Ping was not the only one who had realized something was wrong. Many of the Dharma adepts fighting in the sky above Frost Island and the cultivators in the protective shield of Frost Island had already realized that something was wrong.
However, they were either entangled by the Blood Shura or trapped in the protective shield of the island. Even if they were anxious, they could only watch as the hidden Demonic Cultivators calmly used their own methods.
At this time, Tianfan Laozu, who was fighting with the Jade Shura in the sky above Frost Island, suddenly gave a loud warning. He said, "All sects, beware of the Demonic Cultivator's Soul Devouring Technique!"
Tianfan Laozu's sudden warning spread throughout the entire Frost Island. Without any hesitation, Zhenling immediately ordered the main formation cultivators in their respective Dao-soldier formations to take some measures to defend against the attacks of the Demonic Cultivators.
The other sects in the center of Frost Island were a little slower. It was only when the mid Dharma adepts of their respective sects also noticed that something was amiss and issued a warning that they began to hurriedly put up some defensive measures.
However, at this time, the Mara army that was besieging them seemed to have already expected this. They immediately went crazy and began to attack the protective shield of the island. Many of the cultivators from the various sects lost their lives due to the earlier chaos from Mara's wild attacks.
At the border between the Ling Gu Sect and the twelve sects, Mara even broke open a gap. Dozens of Mara swarmed out from this gap. If it wasn't for the alertness of the dozen mid and late Core Forging adepts from the twelve sects and the Ling Gu Sect, who risked their lives to rush out and reseal the gap, and persevered until the protective shield of the island closed the gap again, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Even so, the dozens of Mara that rushed into the protective shield of the island still caused great damage to the cultivators from the various sects. Twenty to thirty Blood Condensation adepts were killed by Mara in the chaos, and a few Core Forging adepts also fell.
Especially the dozen or so mid and late Core Forging adepts who blocked the gap. They were facing a pincer attack from Mara, and the pressure they had to bear was even heavier. After persevering to restore the protective shield of the island, only seven or eight of the ten or so cultivators survived.
However, this was only the beginning of the nightmare. Following a cry of alarm, a mass of dark clouds came from the north of Frost Island, covering the sky and sun, turning the entire sky and earth pitch-black.
Many cultivators let out cries of alarm. That dark cloud was obviously something that surrounded the body of the demonic cultivators. How many demonic cultivators were hidden within this scene that seemed to cover the sky and sun?
At this time, Lu Ping was already retreating in the direction of Zhenling. Not only him, but the other Zhenling Dharma Form Laozu and the Dharma adepts of the various sects were also retreating in the direction of their respective sects.
Lu Ping's divine consciousness had long discovered the situation within the dark clouds. Hundreds of Blood Fiends suddenly appeared under the leadership of four Blood Fiends. Under the cover of the dark clouds, they formed a strange formation in mid-air. It seemed to be a huge Dao Soldier Formation.
