The array spirit of the Sea Flood Dragon Race's Boat Protection Formation sighed upon hearing Great Elder Hai Yun's words.
"It looks like we're in for a bitter battle."
With that, he turned his attention back to the fighting.
But the gap between him and Hai Kui, the old water flood dragon who served as the array spirit of Star Sea Pavilion's Boat Protection Formation, was simply too great to bridge.
And so, as time slowly passed...
Over several months of sustained fighting, small breaches kept appearing in the vast defensive light barrier raised by the Sea Flood Dragon Race's Boat Protection Formation. Eventually, third-rank flying boats, and even fourth-rank ones, that served as formation anchors were destroyed one after another.
This undoubtedly put the demon beasts aboard the Sea Flood Dragon Race's fleet at an even greater disadvantage.
But it was not enough to bring about their defeat.
Still, this was hardly a favorable situation. The Sea Flood Dragon Race Grand Elder, the old flood dragon Hai Yun commanding this battle, therefore settled for the next best option. He summoned all the Nascent Soul Demon Lords in the fleet to his side and gave them a series of instructions.
Not long afterward, those Nascent Soul Demon Lords departed directly from the rear of the Boat Protection Formation, each taking the demon beasts aboard two or three large third-rank flying boats with them.
In the end, the Sea Flood Dragon Race's immense fleet was left with only a little over four hundred flying boats.
This immediately weakened the Boat Protection Formation sustained by the entire fleet by thirty percent.
As a result, its array spirit's strength plummeted, leaving him even less of a match for the Hai Kui Water Flood Dragon Array Spirit of Star Sea Pavilion's Boat Protecting Array
