War of Expansion (Conclusion)

Because they hadn't prepared any special treasures like Formation-Breaking Talisman, even though the Seven Radiance Island had flaws in its geography and gaps that could be exploited, it still took them a full half-day to break through the Formation.

For such a long time, just as True Person Jinzhu said, not a single cultivator came to provide support.

Quite a few Vultures and Hyenas, however, came sniffing the air and waited in the distance, ready to share the scraps after Seven Radiance Island fell.

The Defensive Formation was breached, and a brutal massacre ensued.

Five Golden Core cultivators from the Lin Household, leading hundreds of Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining Realm cultivators, fought a desperate battle against the Falling Star Pavilion and the Yang Household family cultivators.

Lin Tianqi, Late Golden Core cultivator, confronts True Person Jinzhu.

The former, with its surging blue waters, launched an unstoppable offensive like a tidal wave.

The latter, however, possesses unparalleled sharpness; with every move, it seems capable of cleaving the earth and shattering the ocean.

The battle between these two was the most spectacular, and to avoid affecting Low-Rank Cultivators, they deliberately chose to fight at a high point in the sky.

Besides the two of them, Lin Yu and Lin Guijie, who Middle Golden Core, were stopped by Yang Tiankang and Yang Xuanwu respectively.

True Person Hanxiao and True Person Linyue did not stop them, because they had already witnessed the strength of the two when they attacked the Defensive Formation of Seven Radiance Island.

Even the usually arrogant True Person Hanxiao was speechless and even began to feel a sense of being subdued by Yang Xuanwu.

After all, the latter's spirit of " with Long Spear in hand, none in the world can withstand him" is too awe-inspiring.

For this reason, Han Xiao and True Person Linyue encountered two other Golden Core from the Lin Household.

As for the four War Flying Vessels, they clashed with the Battle Formation formed by the Lin Household Cultivators, and judging from the situation, they held an absolute advantage.

Clang!!

A terrifying sword light, like the beginning of Hundun, dividing Yin-Yang and yang into dawn and dusk, rose from below, attempting to cleave Lin Yu in two.

"Ha!"

The latter exhaled and turned his breath into thunder, then with a wave of his right hand, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a crimson Thunder that snaked its way through.

Divine Ability: Bing Fire Divine Thunder!

"Huh?" Yang Tiankang let out a soft exclamation, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

The Heaven and Earth Sword was wielded, transforming the boundless earth to block the crimson Thunder.

Then, with a thought, the sword light immediately changed.

It evolved from the ancient world, with various energies rising and falling within it. Thunderous Thunder rose up and condensed into a sword shape, whistling as it hurtled towards Lin Yu's brow.

"Thunder Method?" Lin Yu was startled, then immediately realized something was wrong. "Is it the evolution of Sword Intent? Such profound understanding of heaven and earth, one begets two, two begets three, three begets all things?"

Boom!!

He muttered to himself, but it didn't affect his actions at all.

With another wave of his hand, the Bing Fire Divine Thunder lashed down, and at the same time, his Life-Bound Law Treasure, the "Thunderfire Heaven-Shaking Hammer," also crashed down, like a divine mountain collapsing, unstoppable by any force.

"Good timing!"

Yang Tiankang smiled brightly, and his sword flashed, blocking the attack.

The two fought fiercely, gradually forgetting everything else.

On the other side, Yang Xuanwu and Lin Guijie were also fighting fiercely.

The latter cultivates a dual-attribute earth and wood Cultivation Method, making him extremely adept at defense. What's even more troublesome is that Lin Guijie always has a mid- Third-Tier Middle-Grade contracted Spirit Beast.

This was a Pangolin with yellowish-brown scales. It wasn't large, but it was extremely sturdy, and its defensive capabilities were far stronger than the Iron-Spiked Sea Turtle he had killed a few days ago.

Both the master and the Spirit Beast are skilled in defense. The combination of the two is like putting another layer of armor on the outside of an iron lump. Even with Yang Xuanwu's combat strength, it would take a certain amount of time to wear them down if they were to be killed together.

Just as the war reached a stalemate...

Outside, Evil Cultivators, Devil Cultivators, Demon Beast, and Sea Beasts, drawn by the aftermath of the battle, flocked to Seven Radiance Island, seizing the opportunity to plunder various resources.

Both the Falling Star Pavilion and the Lin Household were helpless, but they couldn't spare any resources, so they had no choice but to let them do as they pleased.

Of course, these opportunistic fellows are also quite sensible. Apart from those ignorant, foolish, and stupid Sea Beasts, the Orthodox and Demonic Paths and the intelligent Demon Race only take resources that are not particularly valuable.

For example, the Spirit Clams living in the pool on the west side of Seven Radiance Island are something they dare not touch under any circumstances, for fear of being wiped out by the two sides working together.

Those who dabble and struggle in the Cultivation World, whether human or demon, who are greedy and lack discernment, will not live long either.

Fifteen minutes later, the war situation changed dramatically.

The power of four Third Tier War Flying Vessels is not something that hundreds of low-level Cultivators in Battle Formation can handle.

They are not Cultivator Legion that has been meticulously built with a large amount of resources, like the Purple Moon Army.

They were not even as good as the Redblood Army; they simply formed a defensive Formation.

While sheer courage might hold out for a while, it inevitably leads to collapse in the long run.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The War Law Artifacts roared incessantly, unleashing beams of light, arrows, flames, hurricanes... a variety of attacks combined, sweeping across the world like a mighty east wind.

Before long, more than 90% of the hundreds of Lin Household cultivators were wiped out, leaving only a few terrified survivors who fled Seven Radiance Island and disappeared into the vast ocean.

The four War Flying Vessels that were now freed up began to assist the Golden Core Cultivators in battle.

The Flying Boat did not intervene in the battle between Lin Tianqi and True Person Jinzhu because it could not resolve the fight quickly.

They chose to help the other battlefields.

On Yang Tiankang's side, the Lineage's Flying Boat arrived from nowhere, and the Third Tier Formation was activated instantly, transforming into a vast river that surged forth and engulfed Lin Yu.

Seeing this, the latter grinned arrogantly, "So what if we have one more War Flying Vessels? Watch me dismantle this piece of junk!"

As he spoke, he slammed his hammer down, causing flames to erupt and evaporate the air in the sky. The Flying Boat wailed, and the many Yang Household Cultivators on board were thrown into a panic until Yang Tiankang blocked it with his sword.

In the sky, Lin Tianqi saw that the situation was hopeless and felt grief-stricken, but he also knew that if the fighting continued, the entire army would probably be wiped out.

He roared and unleashed his Divine Ability, forcing True Person Jinzhu back.

He then Escape Light air and flew towards the battlefield below.

"Seven Radiance Island has fallen. To preserve our strength, you must retreat with me immediately!" The voice boomed, Yunxiao.

As he spoke, Lin Tianqi made a hand Mudra and unleashed a Water Attribute Divine Ability, striking Yang Xuanwu, who was currently pressing down on Lin Guijie.

The waves surged and the river flowed mightily.

Upon seeing this, Yang Xuanwu was not alarmed but delighted. He let out a long roar and leaped into the air.

He activated the Battle Intent Furnace to its fullest extent, causing his aura to rise steadily until he reached the peak of the Middle Golden Core realm before finally stopping.

"Mad Demon Halberd Technique!"

Whispering to himself, Yang Xuanwu gripped his guns with both hands, his fighting spirit reaching a frenzy. With a single, sweeping strike, he aimed at the raging river.

Thump!!

Water splashed everywhere, and the mighty river was split in two by this single shot.

"What?" Lin Tianqi was startled, only then realizing that the guy in front of him hadn't used his full strength at all.

"Kill!!"

Ignoring Lin Guijie below, Yang Xuanwu, his face filled with a frenzied and blazing fighting spirit, unleashed the Mad Demon Halberd Technique, more than doubling its power, and slammed it fiercely towards Lin Tianqi.

"Such formidable strength!" True Person Jinzhu, who also descended from the sky, was shocked and kept scrutinizing Yang Xuanwu.

The latter's strength was already not much weaker than his.

"Kill!" After the initial shock came great joy. True Person Jinzhu and Yang Xuanwu launched a pincer attack, surrounding and killing Lin Tianqi.

Below, Lin Guijie and Pangolin saw Lin Tianqi being besieged and were about to go to his rescue, but they were stopped by the Yang Household's two War Flying Vessels and Yang Tiankang, who was also unleashing his full power.

The latter even brought out a Third-Tier Puppet, bringing the total number of Golden Core Combat Strength to four, and fiercely fought against the three Golden Core Combat Strength on the other side.

Because Yang Tiankang was not as strong as Yang Xuanwu, he did not gain the upper hand in the battle, and the fight remained a back-and-forth affair.

On the other side, True Person Hanxiao and True Person Linyue were once again dumbfounded by the strength of the two Golden Core cultivators from the Yang Household.

The former, in particular, felt her cheeks burning as she recalled what she had said earlier.

"Don't overthink it, quickly deal with these two, then go support Senior Brother Jinzhu. Lin Tianqi is Late Golden Core cultivator, we can't let him get away!" True Person Linyue was clearly more composed, quickly assessing the battlefield situation, and shouted.

"Alright!" True Person Hanxiao took a deep breath, focused all his attention, and began to fight.

He was a cultivator with Ice Spirit Root, so naturally he practiced ice-attribute Cultivation Method.

With a single strike, frost spread and froze the sky.

Although their combat strength was not as good as Yang Tiankang and the other two, they were still able to hold their own against ordinary Middle Golden Core cultivators.

With the help of a Third-Tier Middle-Grade Flying Boat and a Third-Tier Lower-Grade Flying Boat, it wasn't long before True Person Hanxiao killed his opponent on the spot.

Then, together with his senior brother True Person Linyue, he eliminated another Golden Core from the Lin Household, and led two War Flying Vessels to support the aerial battlefield, jointly besieging Lin Tianqi.

Seeing this, the latter tried to escape, but was held tightly by True Person Jinzhu and Yang Xuanwu and could not escape.

With a total of six Golden Core Combat Strength surrounding him, including one or two Late Golden Core cultivators, Lin Tianqi ultimately could not escape death.

With a piercing scream, he was stabbed to death by Yang Xuanwu.

However, in the process of surrounding and eliminating him, the Third-Tier Lower-Grade War Flying Vessels was destroyed.

Nearly half of the Falling Star Pavilion cultivators on it died, a considerable loss that caused True Person Jinzhu great distress.

After killing Lin Tianqi, the remaining Lin Household Golden Core cultivators are like turtles in a barrel.

With everyone joining forces to attack, Lin Yu, with his fierce temperament, resolutely chose to self-destruct.

The sudden burst of power turned True Person Linyue's legs into dust and half of his head was blown away, leaving him in a truly tragic state.

Even if he can be cured after this, his cultivation will probably come to an end.

Lin Yu's self-destruction made the remaining people even more vigilant, and they were extremely careful when they surrounded and killed Lin Guijie.

First, they suppressed him using various means, and then True Person Jinzhu and Yang Xuanwu attacked simultaneously from both sides, killing him instantly!

The Pangolin Spirit Beast followed in its master's footsteps and died not long after.

Thus, Seven Radiance Island was captured by the combined forces of the Falling Star Pavilion and the Yang Household.
