Although formations had the ability to maintain themselves before the energy reserves were exhausted, they still needed to be controlled by cultivators in order to maximize the formation's power.
To put it simply, the protective formation of Peerless Island had stored up some energy, but when it was defending against the attacks of the enemy, this energy was constantly being depleted. Once the energy was depleted, the protective formation would no longer be able to maintain itself.
There was only one way to maintain it, which was to artificially control the formation and inject the cultivator's spirit power into the formation's core or find a way to stimulate the power of spirit jades to replenish the formation.
But no matter what, manpower was needed!
And Peerless Island's biggest problem was the lack of manpower!
Therefore, Chu Shen didn't even think about defending because in this situation, only defending was useless. Only by counterattacking would they have a glimmer of hope.
A qualified formation not only needed to have the ability to defend, but also the ability to counterattack!
Of the four million spirit jades Chu Shen spent, half of it was used to set up the formation's defense, and the other half was used to deploy some offensive spirit treasures.
Each of those spirit treasures was a weapon used to attack cities and strongholds. They were completely different from the spirit treasures cultivators normally used. These spirit treasures were expensive and difficult to control. It was difficult for a single cultivator to activate them, even if they were at the late stage of the Constellation Realm. These things were often equipped on starships in the starry sky.
However, at this moment, the many early stage Constellation Realm cultivators on Peerless Island borrowed the power of the formation disk to connect their qi. They could freely borrow each other's power and easily combine the power of several people into one.
In this way, the siege weapons placed at various points of the formation could be activated.
Including Chu Shen, the fourteen early stage Constellation Realm cultivators were divided into three teams and arrived at the three formation cores of the offensive formation.
Seeing this, Nan Xingzhen quickly transmitted his voice, "Be careful!"
He himself wasn't afraid of Peerless Island's counterattack. After all, his strength was there. However, the hundreds of Constellation Realm cultivators he brought might not be able to resist. If they couldn't dodge in time, it was very likely that there would be some unnecessary casualties.
The Koi Island he belonged to wasn't a very strong force. This time, in order to capture Peerless Island, they almost went all out. Once there were casualties, it would be an irreparable loss.
Just as he finished speaking, a buzzing sound was heard from within the Wushuang Island. Soon after, a light pillar suddenly shot out from a certain part of the island, heading straight for the densest part of the crowd.
Nan Xingzhen's face turned cold because he realized that this attack was incomparably ferocious. It far exceeded his expectations!
The protective array protected the outside but not the inside. When these people attacked from the outside, all their attacks were blocked by the protective array's light screen. However, the attacks from the inside of the island were not affected at all. They went straight through the protective array's light screen.
His speed was as fast as lightning. Although a portion of the cultivators reacted quickly and dodged, there were still a portion of them who failed to react in time.
The Southern True Traveler's figure flashed and appeared in front of these people. He raised his hand and grabbed the violent light beam in his palm.
This power, which was enough to shake Yue Yao, only caused his body to tremble slightly before he returned to normal.
However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, another fierce power erupted from another array core on Peerless Island. A pitch-black light passed through the protective array's protective array and suddenly twisted, transforming into the shape of a fierce tiger. It roared ferociously and pounced in another direction.
Nan Xingzhen didn't have enough time to stop it. Fortunately, there was another woman, Yue Yao. She summoned a protective magic weapon and blocked this attack.
Then came the third attack!
Chu Shen and the others were divided into three small teams. Even so, they could only activate the power of the three spirit artifacts placed in the offensive array.
This third attack was slightly different from the previous two. The attack had clearly been launched, yet no one was able to see it. Only an enormous bang resounded before someone fell down dizzily, and it seemed as if he was about to fall into the Myriad Sea. If that happened, then he would definitely die.
Fortunately, there were many people from Koi Island this time. His companions nearby noticed in time and hurriedly came to his rescue, saving him from disaster.
"A sound attack!" The Southern True Traveler's expression changed again as he stared at the source of the third attack. It was the location of Chu Shen's team.
He really couldn't understand. This Peerless Island didn't look strong, so how could it have such a strange treasure? This kind of spirit artifact was worth at least 100,000 spirit jades. Moreover, it wasn't something that could be bought with money.
What he didn't know was that Chu Shen had many treasures on him. Although not all of them were suitable to act as array cores, there were always one or two that could. This treasure that could activate a sound attack was one of them. Its main feature was that it was invisible and impossible to guard against!
The three counterattacks of Peerless Island were launched almost at the same time. This made the people of Koi Island realize that this wasn't a bone that could be gnawed on.
On Peerless Island, Tang Jun, who had his hands in his sleeves, suddenly turned his head and looked at Ban Ci who was not far away. "I don't care why you came here and why you didn't leave. But if you dare to harm our island, I won't let you off easily!"
Recently, he had been working with Ban Ci to manage the deployment of the large array on the island. The more they worked together, the more he felt that this woman was not simple. Such a person was very likely to have an extraordinary background. Tang Jun had also investigated openly and secretly to find out the origin of Ban Ci, but he did not gain much.
Although Peerless Island seemed to respect Chu Shen, in fact, it was related to the future of the cultivators of Qingli Dao World. If they could find their way home one day, the people of Qingli Dao World could also come to the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea and establish a foothold on Peerless Island to cultivate.
It could be said that although Tang Jun hadn't been here for long, he had completely approved of this place. Naturally, he didn't want anything to happen to Peerless Island.
He could basically see through the intentions of the others, except for Ban Ci, so he warned her to prevent her from having any thoughts that she shouldn't have.
Ban Ci was stunned for a moment, then she immediately pursed her lips and smiled. "Elder Tang, don't worry. Although it's not easy to explain to you, I can guarantee that even if something happens to me, I won't let anything happen to the Island Master!"
Tang Jun gazed deeply at her, as if he wanted to look into the depths of her heart.
He more or less knew about Chu Shen's background. Now that he heard Ban Ci's words, he could roughly guess her background.
"Then I'll leave it to you!" When he nodded slightly, his figure rushed into the sky and went straight to Nan Xingzhen.
Almost at the same time, on the other side of Peerless Island, three figures also rushed into the sky and went straight to the Yue Yao woman.
These three figures were naturally the three people led by Lu Ye.
Among the enemies, there were two Yue Yao. Tang Jun could pin down Nan Xingzhen, so if the three of them could contend with the Yue Yao woman, the pressure on Peerless Island would be greatly reduced.
At that time, Peerless Island would only need to face a group of Star Mansions. Chu Shen and the others could control the three offensive arrays and stimulate the power of the spirit artifacts in the array cores, so they might be able to achieve something.
In an instant, the two mid-stage Yue Yao cultivators clashed, their magic power surging endlessly as they fought in full swing.
Before Lu Ye and the others could approach the Yue Yao woman, several invading Star Mansions rushed forward to meet them. The one at the forefront had a sturdy body and was brimming with vitality. Surprisingly, he was a body cultivator.
Originally, when he saw Lu Ye's group of three's loose formation, he didn't pay them much attention. Unexpectedly, as they rapidly approached, he saw Lu Ye's group of three shining with spirit light as their spirit energy converged and fused together.
In an instant, the simplest of three arrays was formed.
However, even the simplest array caused Lu Ye's aura to soar.
The body cultivator was shocked, but it was too late to stop himself. The moment the three arrays were formed, Lu Ye's speed suddenly increased and he pounced on the body cultivator.
The aura of death suddenly descended, causing the body cultivator's entire body to turn cold. He roared angrily and punched out. This punch could be said to be a sudden burst of all his strength. Even the abundant blood and Qi in his body withered in an instant as he punched out.
This punch was ferocious and unparalleled!
Under this punch, Lu Ye's figure shattered.
However, a saber light flashed from the shattered figure.
Pu Ke and Ghost, who were not far from Lu Ye, were stunned. They didn't expect Li Taibai's strength to be so great!
Pu Ke, in particular, had known Lu Ye for almost two years. It could be said that they met not long after Lu Ye came to the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea. However, Pu Ke had never seen him fight, so he naturally didn't know how strong he was.
Only now did he realize that this fishing buddy of his who had once asked him for advice on the art of fishing was actually hiding his strength!
What surprised Pu Ke and Ghost even more was that they vaguely saw some familiar traces in this saber light. They couldn't help but recall the scene of the Dried Skeleton General's death battle in the tomb.
The two of them turned their heads and looked at each other, speechless.
The body cultivator was still in his punching posture. Lu Ye's figure had clearly shattered, but as the saber light bloomed, his figure appeared behind the body cultivator and continued to rush forward without looking.
Behind him, under the turbulence of spiritual power, the body cultivator's body suddenly split into pieces and fell toward the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea. The cuts were neat and tidy.
As the body cultivator approached, the Constellation Mansions didn't even have time to react before they saw Lu Ye and the other two charging over aggressively.
Like a tiger in a flock of sheep, Lu Ye's saber light flashed, Pu Ke waved the fishing rod in his hand, and Ghost's five fingers formed a claw and broke through the enemy's defense line. Even if they were all late-stage Constellation Mansions, they couldn't block any of their attacks.
Several Constellation Mansions who came to greet them didn't even know how they died!
There was a huge gap in strength between late-stage Constellation Mansions. Not to mention Lu Ye, even Pu Ke and Ghost weren't easy to deal with. One was ranked more than 100, while the other was close to 200. They could be said to be the top existences in the Constellation Realm. Only other Constellation Mansions on the same ranking could contend with them. The other Constellation Mansions weren't even on the same level.
Moreover, the three of them had formed a formation. How could these Constellation Mansions who had even been on the ranking be a match for the three of them?
