Besides the three high-level cultivators, all the other cultivators within Windless Valley had been mobilized.
On a mountaintop, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator in black robes led ten Qi Refining stage disciples, each wielding a massive crimson flame banner.
Driven by them, the scarlet banners continuously released a large number of watermelon-sized fireballs, at least a hundred each time, wave after wave, attacking the sea beasts outside.
At another location, a similar group of ten-odd cultivators held up small bottles, each about an inch in size, spraying out streams of black water that transformed into countless droplets, striking the sea beasts.
Any sea beast touched by even a single drop would emit plumes of green smoke, instantly turning into a pile of white bones.
Several black-robed individuals with Late Foundation Establishment cultivation jointly controlled a bronze halberd, transforming it into a golden halberd several dozen feet long, specifically targeting second and third-tier sea beasts.
Sea beasts with the strength of third-tier demonic beasts could not withstand more than two or three strikes from the halberd, and even five or six fourth-tier sea beasts had died under this enormous magical artifact.
Its power was evident.
Zhang Ling and his team were also diligently slaying sea beasts. Thirty-odd Qi Refining disciples continuously rotated, controlling ballistas, crossbows, and other potent devices, resulting in the deaths of numerous sea beasts.
Zhang Ling and the Xu and Wang Foundation Establishment cultivators were also busy killing second and third-tier sea beasts, thoroughly engrossed in the battle.
However, their pressure was also greatly increasing.
Wang Caidie concentrated her spiritual power, summoning a black ribbon-like magical artifact. The black ribbon unfurled, instantly annihilating more than ten sea fish with yellow stripes.
The supple ribbon was like a concealed blade, and any sea beast it passed through was cleaved in two. It then rapidly swept towards another area, reaping the lives of many more sea beasts.
However, this woman's expression was somber, her eyes darting about, as if searching for something.
She had previously fought a translucent fish beast with the strength of a third-tier demonic beast, but now only saw a large number of low-level sea beasts. After being severely injured by her magical artifact, that fish beast had vanished.
Xu Ji, on the other hand, was operating a strange black bronze pot, which spewed out a large amount of ink-like black liquid.
The liquid merged into the seawater, congealing without dispersing, transforming into more than ten dark black strange snakes that weaved through the various sea beasts.
Any sea beast that came into contact with the liquid would have its body charred black. At this moment, Xu Ji was controlling this black liquid to besiege three green-skinned sharks, all of which were third-tier demonic beasts. However, trapped within the black liquid, none could escape.
As for Zhang Ling, he was currently wielding his flying sword and copper ring, two magical artifacts, to fight a plump-headed sea fish covered in silver scales.
This plump-headed fish possessed the strength of a fourth-tier demonic beast. When its silver scales flashed, the copper ring conjured by his magical artifact would be automatically shifted to the side, which was very strange.
Seeing this, Zhang Ling could only command his flying sword to unleash golden rays, continuously exhausting the strange fish.
Fortunately, this strange fish swam much slower than other sea beasts, and it did not seem to dodge other types of attacks that landed on its body.
With the intervention of the three Foundation Establishment cultivators, the situation in their team temporarily returned to equilibrium.
However, Zhang Ling knew that this balance was only temporary. As the strength of the sea beasts continued to increase, the situation would likely change again.
The battles in other areas were also gradually becoming more intense. Under the frenzied attacks of countless sea demons and beasts, the thick array light screen showed slight tremors, more or less.
In the blink of an eye, several more hours had passed. Counting the time, they had been resisting the sea beasts for a whole day.
The battle was becoming increasingly fierce. Although they had the protection of the array and had not suffered any casualties, cultivators were still human, and their energy was limited. They had been resisting the sea beasts for most of the day.
The Qi Refining disciples still had personnel to rotate, but there were not many Foundation Establishment cultivators to begin with, and they had been fighting continuously, causing many to show signs of fatigue.
Fortunately, they all carried pills to quickly restore their spiritual power, but while it was easy to restore their magical power, the consumption of their spiritual sense and other resources was not so fast.
Woo woo!
Suddenly, a series of muffled and melodious strange roars came from an unknown location. The sea beasts also went crazy, and their aggressiveness increased sharply.
In the originally dim sky, a cloud of red covering more than twenty zhang wide flew over. A shocking beast roar came from the red cloud, full of tyranny, as if there was a will to tear everything apart.
"High-level sea beast."
The white-robed old man on the main peak watched the red cloud approach rapidly and spoke softly, but before his voice faded.
Awoo! Several ancient beast roars came again, causing the three to look sideways. On the left, in the distance, a huge black object emerged from the sea.
This was a giant turtle-like demonic beast with a height of twenty zhang, its black and shiny turtle shell flashing with purple spiritual patterns. It was like a small mountain.
On the other side, under the water, crackling sounds came. A flat sea beast leaped into the air in a ball of green lightning. The green lightning on its body flashed, covering an area of more than twenty zhang, also a high-level sea beast.
And on the sea surface farthest from Windless Valley, a huge wave of more than thirty zhang high rose, entwined with a black and a green, two huge snake-shaped creatures more than twenty zhang long, as if overturning rivers and seas.
"Oh, two Flood Dragons." The white-robed old man and the other two, seeing this, their faces turned ugly.
"Five high-level sea beasts, including two Flood Dragons. If these high-level sea beasts attack, the array here will be in danger." The white-robed old man said gloomily, watching the high-level sea beasts approaching rapidly.
He turned around and instructed a green-robed young man following behind him. Then he looked at the two fellow cultivators beside him.
"Senior Sister, Brother Fang, I'll have to trouble you two."
"Cough cough." The bald old man coughed lightly, "It seems that Fang will not be able to stay quiet. I will deal with those two Flood Dragons."
As he spoke, a light flashed on his body. Without any extra nonsense, he turned into a white rainbow and flew towards the direction of the two Flood Dragons.
"This old woman will deal with that fire crow, but the other two sea beasts will have to rely on Junior Brother." The old woman also narrowed her eyes, staring at the red flame that was already close at hand.
"It doesn't matter, the other two sea beasts can be dealt with by the array here."
White mist rose from the old woman's body, dragging her to meet the fire cloud. The white mist outside her body gradually expanded, and in the blink of an eye, it was more than ten zhang wide.
There was also a burst of popping sounds, followed by a burst of blue light in the center of the white mist. Two bright blue flying knives flew out.
The blue flying knives flashed twice, intersecting in the center, and cut out a cross-shaped light blade. It flashed and turned into a three- to four-zhang-long spiritual light, and quickly attacked.
Awoo!
A roar suddenly came from inside the red cloud, and as the red cloud rolled, a red, sharp head appeared.
It was covered with fiery feathers, and it was a red bird head about a zhang in size. Although this monster revealed a bird head, its pair of golden eagle eyes were full of ferocity.
