Following the first pillar of light, the spell formations on the 11 small islands were activated one after another. In an instant, streaks of light blotted out heaven and earth as they blasted toward the enemy.
The Blood Tribe was instantly decimated, and broken limbs and blood rained down from the sky.
This wasn't the first time that the Blood Tribe had fought against the Jade Blood Holy Land, so they were already well-prepared. In the face of such an attack, the best way to deal with it was to spread out.
Even so, they still suffered heavy casualties under the concentrated attacks of the humans.
However, the Blood Tribe didn't hesitate in the slightest, and they continued to charge forward.
In the eyes of these formations were powerful magic tools that were specially used to attack cities. Through the power amplification of the formations, the power of these magic tools was much greater than that of ordinary magic tools. It was almost comparable to the explosion of a Spirit Treasure, even though it might not be able to destroy the world with one strike.
Looking down from the sky, the oval-shaped outer islands seemed to have become a glowing hedgehog. Those flickering spikes were the power of the spell formations on the islands.
Many Blood Tribe cultivators were reduced to a rain of blood before they could even cry out in agony. Some Blood Tribe cultivators who were lucky enough to survive fell into the Divine Gate Sea, and they slowly fell silent amidst their anguished cries.
The Divine Gate Sea was a natural barrier, and the blood in the sea of blood was like a pot of boiling oil to ordinary Blood Tribe cultivators. Falling into the sea of blood was basically a matter of life and death.
This was also the main reason why Feng Wujiang had chosen to set up the Jade Blood Holy Land here. Without the natural barrier of the Divine Gate Sea, the Jade Blood Holy Land would have already been drowned by the sea of Blood Tribe cultivators, even with the presence of a dozen or so elders.
No Blood Tribe cultivator was able to get within 3,000 feet of the islands, and they were all stopped at 3,000 feet away.
The number of casualties continued to increase, but the Blood Tribe's army was endless.
Lu Ye slowly came to a realization.
The vanguard of the Blood Tribe wasn't very powerful, and most of them were at the Cloud River Tier. No matter how many Blood Tribe cultivators there were, they obviously wouldn't be able to do anything.
However, the Blood Tribe clearly didn't expect these Cloud River Tier cultivators to be able to attack the islands. Their only value was to wear down the human army.
In other words, they were cannon fodder.
Only when the human army was exhausted to a certain extent would the true backbone of the Blood Tribe attack.
This was what the vampires had done in every major battle in the past. Hence, even though the vampires numbered in the millions, more than half of them were used as cannon fodder.
The vampires were also clear that the human side's greatest weakness was their numbers. At present, the humans had no blind spots, but as long as there was enough time, the human defense would gradually weaken.
For this reason, the Blood Race had to pay a certain price. This was something that couldn't be helped.
Fortunately, it was easy for vampires to grow, so even though they suffered great losses every time, they would make a comeback after a few years.
After repeated battles, the vampires had gnawed away most of the islands on the periphery of the Jade Blood Holy Land. Now, there were only eleven islands left to form a defensive line. This time, as long as they could tear a hole in this defensive line, they would have hope of destroying the Jade Blood Holy Land.
Therefore, to the Human Race, the eleven defensive islands could not be lost.
The fierce battle continued for a full three days and three nights.
During this period of time, the vampires' attacks never stopped, and neither did the human island's counterattack. The three thousand meter radius around the archipelago was the boundary between life and death. All vampires who stepped into this area died without exception.
Even so, the vampires who came later still continued to advance.
The vampires were undoubtedly a race that loved to fight. This was the insanity in their bones. The deaths of many of their people could not stop their determination to advance.
Perhaps it was also related to the lack of corpses. All the dead vampires either turned into powder or fell into the Shen Que Sea. There was not a single corpse in sight.
If the corpses were still around and piled up into a mountain, it might be able to deter the vampires to a certain extent. Unfortunately, this did not happen.
On the northern battlefront, on a giant ship in the middle of the army, Saint Xing Yue stood with his hands behind his back and watched quietly.
He did not frown, nor did he feel any heartache. To him, those dead vampires were already done with their duty.
There was no need to feel heartache.
A Divine Ocean Realm cultivator who was watching the battle from the front returned and reported, "Saint, three days have passed. Please give your orders."
Saint Xing Yue said, "Just act according to the plan."
"Yes!" The Divine Ocean Realm cultivator immediately retreated. At the same time, on the island's wall, Meng Jie, who had been silently watching the battle, also said, "Three days have passed."
"Then let's act according to the plan," Yue Ji replied.
Meng Jie slowly raised his hand and clenched it gently.
Lu Ye looked at them in confusion.
Yue Ji explained, "According to the rhythm of previous battles, three days is the time when the humans are at their weakest."
After all, controlling the formation and the spirit tools in the formation eye for a long time was also a huge burden and consumption on the human cultivators. In previous battles, the first three days were a time point. After this point, the humans' defense would suddenly drop by a lot.
And this change was the opportunity that the vampires had been waiting for.
In these three days, the vampires suffered huge casualties, but the humans did not suffer any losses. After all, all the enemies were annihilated thousands of meters away. It was difficult for the humans to suffer any losses.
Lu Ye immediately understood. "Feigning weakness." If he hadn't brought the Kindred Spirit Connecting Formation Disk to the humans of the Jade Blood Holy Land, this time point would indeed be the opportunity that the vampires had been waiting for. However, with the Kindred Spirit Connecting Formation Disk, the situation was different.
In these three days, the human cultivators in charge of controlling the fortifications had indeed consumed a lot of energy. However, they were constantly borrowing power through the Kindred Spirit Connecting Formation, so even though they had consumed a lot of energy, they were not at their weakest.
Lu Ye had also eaten a large number of blood crystals in the past three days, and all the refined energy was injected into the formation. It wasn't just him; the hundreds of Blood Race Dao soldiers were also swallowing blood crystals, allowing the human cultivators to borrow their strength.
One had to know that they were at the Divine Ocean Realm and could provide a lot of help.
Following Meng Jie's instructions, the counterattack on the island slowly decreased.
They couldn't do it too obviously, or the vampires would see through them. To the humans, such a trick could only be used once, so they naturally had to maximize the effect.
This was not only the case on Lu Ye's island, but also on the other ten islands.
As time passed, the counterattack became weaker and weaker. If one were to look down from the sky, they would see that the spikes on the Jade Blood Holy Land had become much shorter and fewer.
After observing for more than half a day and confirming that the human cultivators were weakened, the first counterattack of the vampires came.
There were clearly many True Lake Realm vampires among the cannon fodder. They activated their own power and used the cannon fodder as cover to quickly attack the archipelago.
The humans' counterattack was still there, but it was difficult to stop all the vampires' attacks.
The thousand-foot life and death line was constantly shrinking. Nine hundred feet, eight hundred feet, seven hundred feet … In less than four hours, the vampires' front line had advanced to within five hundred feet of the archipelago.
The vampires could finally counterattack, and they were no longer sitting ducks.
Rays of bloody light shot out from the vampires' camp, and as far as the eye could see, the bloody light covered the sky and covered the archipelago.
The formation buzzed, and the defensive formation was activated, enveloping the archipelago.
The bloody light landed on the defensive light barrier, causing specks of dark red to appear, as if they were sprinkling blood red dye on the barrier.
Sizzling sounds could be heard continuously, and the defensive formation's light quickly dimmed.
The vampires' blood arts were too effective against defensive formations.
One had to know that the formation on the archipelago was personally set up by a senior formation cultivator, his disciples, and his disciples. Its defensive strength was not inferior to the defensive formations of the top sects in the Nine Prefectures.
Even so, the first layer of the defensive formation was broken in less than an hour.
Although the vampires suffered many casualties during this period, the appearance of a large number of True Lake Realm vampires pushed the vampires' front line forward by another three hundred feet.
The second layer of the defensive formation was activated. In less than an hour, it was broken again. The vampires' front line was now three hundred feet away from the archipelago.
The third layer of the defensive formation enveloped the archipelago. This was also the last defensive formation on the archipelago. If it was broken, the vampires' blood arts would be able to descend on the archipelago without restraint.
When that happened, all the defensive structures would be destroyed in an extremely short period of time. Once such a situation occurred, the Jade Blood Holy Land would not be far from collapse with the current strength of the vampires.
Among the vampires' army, there were already Divine Ocean Realm cultivators. Although there were not many of them, the blood arts they used were not something that True Lake Realm or Cloud River Realm cultivators could compare to, and they were more corrosive to the defensive formation.
Six hundred feet!
This was an extremely dangerous distance. The vampires' army seemed to have seen the hope of victory, and they charged forward even more ferociously.
fo
Compared to the vampires' momentum, the humans on the archipelago were clearly dispirited. The strength of their counterattack was sparse, and they were no longer as magnificent as before.
In the instant that the last layer of the defensive formation was broken, the eyes of all the vampires lit up. Their speed suddenly increased, and as they ran, they rapidly prepared a series of exquisite secret techniques.
Almost all of the vampires saw the destruction of the Jade Blood Holy Land and the removal of this malignant tumor. Many of them were even overjoyed.
However, in the next instant, their joy turned into shock.
As the formation buzzed, an earth-shattering stream of light erupted from the walls of the small island and blasted into the vampires' army without restraint.
In an instant, the porcupine that was the Jade Blood Holy Land shot out the spikes that had been retracted into its body.
Many of the vampires still had expressions of joy on their faces, but their bodies were badly mutilated, and they fell into the Godly Watchtower Sea, kicking up waves.
In that instant, death swept through the vampires' camp like a hurricane. In that instant, countless vampires died on the spot. Even the Divine Ocean Realm cultivators had fallen.
All the vampires within five hundred feet of the archipelago were wiped out in an extremely short period of time, and this distance was still expanding.
Most of the vampires had no idea what was going on, and they disappeared as they ran. A few vampires saw that the situation was bad and hurriedly dodged. However, they could dodge once, but they could not dodge twice or thrice.
The corpses of the vampires fell like raindrops.
