Within Arm's Reach!
Han Yue turned around, his face ashen.
"Chase!"
Ignoring his own exhaustion, he activated his escape technique to give chase.
Behind him, Sun Chengzu blocked his way, and the twelve flying swords returned to their positions, forming a sword formation that blocked Han Yue's path.
His injured arm underwent a process of regeneration and healing, revealing newly grown, tender pink flesh.
"Your opponent is me."
"Get out of here!"
Han Yue struck out with his palm, the Purple Yang True Fire transforming into a palm print that slammed into the sword formation.
The sword formation trembled violently, and blood spilled from the corner of Sun Chengzu's mouth, but the sword formation did not dissipate.
He gritted his teeth and stubbornly collapsed to the ground!
At the heart of the giant island, brilliance shines forth.
Sun Yao rushed to the pillar of energy. Before her eyes, the milky white pillar of light was about three feet thick, with a wisp of flowing cloud pattern faintly visible within it.
The Cloud Dao Heaven and Earth Qi: Rain Cloud Flower True Qi!
However, it was impossible to extract it at this moment. This wisp of Heaven and Earth Qi was closely connected to this place, and it was impossible to penetrate this pillar of light and take it out.
Seeing this, Sun Yao felt anxious.
Without time to think, he simply placed the longsword across his lap, formed hand seals, and activated the Cloud Dao Cultivation Method, conjuring a cloud hand that reached out to grab the Heaven and Earth Qi within the Light Lord...
This process is extremely slow, taking at least the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
A stick of incense.
In the midst of such chaotic warfare, the distance between life and death is as short as the burning of an incense stick.
"Protect Yao Gu!"
"Delay the time so that Yao Gu can retrieve the treasure!"
Sun Chengzu's roar came from afar.
Then came the clash of steel, the explosion of spiritual energy, and screams of agony...
Amidst the cacophony of sounds, the struggle for treasure in this chaotic world is a perilous gamble!
Above the giant island, pillars of Heaven and Earth Qi soared into the sky, while colorful clouds surged endlessly.
This extraordinary phenomenon was visible throughout the entire marshland.
The cultivators who were engaged in battles everywhere looked up, their gazes all locking onto the direction of the giant island in the distance.
Someone is drawing upon the Heaven and Earth Qi!
This triggered a reaction from all sides that was even more intense than stirring up a hornet's nest.
The disciples of the Vast Righteousness School, who were entangled with the Azure Light Gate, immediately split up.
The Vast Righteousness School had seven Foundation Establishment cultivators who immediately left the battlefield and came riding on the waves.
The Profound Purity Sect was even more decisive. They suddenly stopped fighting and reached a temporary agreement with the remaining forces of the Grand Purity Sect, each sending a team of elite troops to simultaneously rush towards the giant island.
The already chaotic battle situation suddenly became even more uncontrollable.
Damn it!
Sun Chengzu's sword formation was torn apart by Han Yue's heavy blow, and the three flying swords shattered on the spot. He spat out blood and retreated step by step.
Han Yue stopped lingering, his figure blurring as he bypassed Sun Chengzu's blockade and sped towards the core of the giant island...
Stop him!
Lu Xun gritted his teeth and chased after him, his lightning-patterned short sword slashing out in an arc of light.
Lightning bolts caught up with Han Yue's back, Han Yue's flames swirled around him, deflecting the lightning bolts without even turning his head...
Bi Luo emerged from the shadows, her five fingers forming a claw, and a green vine wrapped around Han Yue's ankle like lightning.
The vines were resilient, and when the wood elemental energy was poured onto them, they instantly took root in the stone surface.
Han Yue froze, glanced down, and frowned deeply.
With a burst of purple flame from his palm, he burned the vines, but in that brief moment of delay, Sun Chengzu reassembled the sword formation, and flying swords rained down.
Han Yue had no choice but to turn around and defend himself.
He was strong, but even he couldn't withstand being attacked by several people on his own.
The eastern side of the giant island.
The seven Foundation Establishment from the Vast Righteousness School had already arrived first.
The leader was dressed in a gray Daoist robe, with a gentle face, and held a long bamboo flute in his hand. His name was Fang Zeyuan, Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and a promising disciple of the Vast Righteousness School in this generation.
After landing, Fang Zeyuan glanced at the chaotic scene on the giant island and quickly made a judgment.
"That female cultivator is drawing upon the Heaven and Earth Qi... Everyone, go and seize it!"
Immediately, a long bamboo flute was placed to his lips, and a melodious flute sound resounded.
As the flute played, the marsh water surged, and more than ten water columns rose from the ground, transforming into water arrows that shot towards Sun Yao's location.
Sun Lin also arrived at this moment and stood in front of Sun Yao.
Sun Lin is nothing more than a Pseudo Spirit Root. His aptitude is not outstanding, and his cultivation is not the highest, but he is a member of the Sun Household!
He was Sun Yao's cousin, and now the Lineage's hopes were at stake; he absolutely could not back down, he absolutely could not retreat...
This time, for the sake of his Lineage, he was willing to give up everything!
Sun Lin pushed his wood elemental power to its limit, stretched out his arms, and the ground shattered with a roar. Dozens of thick wooden walls burst forth from the cracks in the stone, intertwining to form a shield wall that blocked Sun Yao's path.
The water jet struck the wooden wall, causing it to shake violently and crack in most of it, but it did not collapse.
Hang in there!
Sun Lin gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead.
The rate at which the wooden wall repairs and grows is far slower than the rate at which the water jets attack.
Fang Zeyuan's flute playing became increasingly rapid, and the number of water jets increased from more than ten to more than thirty, flowing continuously.
Even more critically, the Profound Purity Sect's forces also arrived.
Five cultivators, led by a short, stout man in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, holding a Black Water Flag. He said nothing, but as soon as he unfurled Black Water flag, a stream of icy water carrying shards of ice swarmed in from the flank.
Besieged on all sides.
"Kuang Dou! Lei Nu!"
The Lord Rat communicates via telepathy.
The two great demons, Kuang Dou and Lei Nu, followed and charged into the battlefield from the edge of the island.
Kuang Dou plunged headlong into the Profound Purity Sect's formation, spewing lava from his mouth. The short, fat man, his body enveloped in crimson flames, drew out a stream of icy water from his Black Water Flag to extinguish the fire. Water and fire clashed, sending white smoke billowing into the sky.
Lei Nu then confronted the two disciples of the Vast Righteousness School. Pale white arcs of lightning crisscrossed its fur, unleashing streaks of lightning that forced its opponents back.
but--
There are too many people!
More and more cultivators arrived from all directions, making the situation increasingly chaotic. Some were large groups of sects, while others were small groups of independent Rogue Cultivator alliances.
Others are lone travelers taking advantage of the chaos.
The allure of the Heaven and Earth Qi is enough to make everyone's eyes turn red!
Sun Yao sat motionless, her face pale, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead.
The Heaven and Earth Qi is about to be extracted; it's just a little bit more away!
If we stop now, all our previous efforts will be in vain.
The path to the Golden Core is now impossible in this lifetime!
She couldn't stop, nor was she willing to give up, when it was so close!
