"Retreat!" Wan Shaoming immediately shouted the order without hesitation.
Facing such a powerful condensed Yin Dragon, with an Aura close to an Eighth-rank Yao Saint, relying solely on the power of three Spirit Ships to confront such a Yin creature was undoubtedly like striking a stone with an egg.
The two thunder spiritual ships immediately executed the command, radiating dazzling thunder light, protecting the Earth Element Spirit Ship as it rapidly retreated, attempting to escape this area under the terrifying pressure of the Yin Dragon.
However, the Yin Sha Dragon King seemed to have no intention of letting them go easily; its massive body twisted its tail in the air, and its figure, swift as thunder, gave chase.
Suddenly, the Yin Sha Dragon King abruptly opened its massive maw, and a cold, magnificent frost breath instantly spewed forth, transforming into a strong Yin wind that swept towards the three Spirit Ships.
"Violet Heaven Thunder Strike Formation!" Wan Shaoming anxiously shouted, knowing that facing such a powerful frost breath, the Spirit Ship's conventional defenses were far from enough.
They had to activate the most powerful defensive Formation on the Spirit Ship to withstand this fatal blow.
Following Wan Shaoming's command, purple light immediately flickered on the two thunder spiritual ships, instantly releasing two beams of thunder light.
Thunder intertwined, and a powerful electrical force gathered around the Spirit Ships, forming layers of purple thunder nets—the Violet Heaven Thunder Strike Formation, which gathered Violet Heaven Thunder power to form a powerful defensive thunder net Formation.
This electricity was not ordinary thunder from the mortal realm, but Violet Heaven Thunder power condensed through the Spirit Ship's special Formation.
Every strand contained special energy capable of eradicating Yin Sha and powerful soul bodies.
They rapidly converged around the Spirit Ships, as if guided by some mysterious force, weaving into dense purple thunder nets, forming an indestructible thunder net Formation that tightly protected the three Spirit Ships in its center.
However, as the condensed Yin Dragon was the king among Yin Sha spirits, how could its breath be ordinary?
The terrifying Yin Sha breath swept over like a small Yin Sha storm, exuding a deadly Aura.
With a loud "boom," when the Yin Sha breath and the Violet Heaven Thunder Net fiercely collided, an astonishing energy fluctuation instantly erupted, like clear water poured into a hot pot, instantly boiling, with countless white smoke rising, causing the heavens and earth to change color.
At the same time, the purple lightning and white Yin Sha intertwined, emitting dazzling light that illuminated the entire sky as if it were daytime.
A massive energy fluctuation spread outwards from the collision point, forming invisible shockwaves.
The surrounding air was torn by this force, emitting sharp whistling sounds, creating a breathtaking scene.
However, the condensed Yin Dragon was, after all, the king among Yin Sha spirits; its frost breath was incredibly powerful and continuous.
Although the Violet Heaven Thunder Strike Formation could resist for a while, as time passed, the thunder power gradually depleted, and the Formation's light began to dim.
"No! The consumption is too great, we can't hold on!"
"Is this Yin Dragon a Seventh-rank or an Eighth-rank? It's too terrifying!"
"If the Violet Heaven Thunder Formation is broken, we're definitely finished!"
...
The Cultivators on the Spirit Ships cried out in alarm.
Their faces were pale, their eyes filled with terror and despair.
If the Violet Heaven Thunder Formation couldn't hold, they would directly face the terrifying power of the condensed Yin Dragon, which would be an unimaginable disaster.
Just as everyone was in a panic, a series of dazzling lights suddenly lit up on the Earth Element Spirit Ship, as if some mysterious power was being awakened.
Immediately after, five Spirit Treasures of different colors soared from the Spirit Ship, like five meteors streaking across the sky, a breathtaking sight.
A white silk ribbon unfurled in the air, transforming into a wide waterfall, its water flowing down like the Milky Way, sparkling brilliantly, breathtakingly beautiful.
The falling silver waterfall had a magnificent Aura and exuded a cool breath, seemingly capable of purifying the surroundings, giving a sense of coolness and tranquility.
A green Yi Wood staff followed closely, soaring into the sky, emitting a faint green light.
Ancient runes were carved on the staff, and powerful Yi Wood elemental energy continuously poured out.
The green Yi Wood staff gently swayed in the air, its form gradually blurring, transforming into the ethereal image of a giant spiritual ginseng, releasing a powerful life force that invigorated one's body and mind.
Next, a golden Great Master stick broke through the air, glittering with dazzling golden light.
The Great Master stick exuded a majestic and solemn Aura, as if it could deter all evil forces.
It danced in the air, stirring up gusts of golden storms, inspiring awe.
A giant fire cauldron also slowly rose, its body fiery red, exuding a scorching Aura.
The cauldron lid opened on its own, and the fire cauldron spewed out a cluster of fierce purple flames, as if it could incinerate all obstacles.
The flames danced, releasing intense heat, making the entire sky seem to become scorching.
Finally, a small brown mountain followed closely behind.
Although it seemed ordinary, it gave a sense of profoundness and stability.
Its ethereal image rapidly magnified, quietly suspended in the air, as if guarding this heaven and earth.
After the five Spirit Treasures revealed themselves in the air, they seemed to be summoned by some mysterious force and began to rapidly release a large amount of Five Elements Qi.
These Qi intertwined and fused in the air, creating a wonderful connection between them.
The golden light represented the power of Metal, sharp and hard, as if it could cut through all obstacles; the green Qi was the manifestation of Wood power, vibrant and full of endless vitality; the blue radiance represented the power of Water, gentle and profound, as if it could encompass all things; the crimson light was the display of Fire power, scorching and violent, capable of incinerating everything; and the heavy brown was the symbol of Earth power, stable and profound, capable of bearing heaven and earth.
These Five Elements Qi rapidly evolved in the air, mutually generating and overcoming each other, endlessly circulating, as if forming a complete cycle.
They quickly converged into a dazzling Five Elements Spirit Domain, firmly protecting the three Spirit Ships within it.
Just then, a loud "boom" sounded, and the Violet Heaven Thunder Formation, under the fierce impact of the Yin Sha breath, finally could no longer hold on and shattered.
The terrifying Yin Sha breath surged forward like a black Dragon, carrying a world-destroying Aura, and fiercely struck the Five Elements Spirit Domain.
However, the Five Elements Spirit Domain seemed to be an indestructible barrier, instantly fending off that Yin Sha breath.
Who, who made the move!
Within the Five Elements Spirit Domain, the Cultivators on the two thunder spiritual ships witnessed this scene with their own eyes, and their spirits were instantly uplifted.
"We're saved!" a Cultivator couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, his voice trembling slightly, having been frightened by the perilous situation just now.
"It's Master Li, Master Li saved us!" another Cultivator said, pointing in the direction of the Earth Element Spirit Ship, his eyes filled with gratitude.
"Wow! It's Master Li's helpers, what a strong lineup!"
"Great! We're saved!"
...
All the Cultivators looked towards the Earth Element Spirit Ship and immediately understood the reason: Li Mu had acted in time to save them.
At the same time, the Cultivators were also stunned by his grand gesture.
They saw that on the deck of the Earth Element Spirit Ship, behind Li Mu, five powerful figures had appeared at some unknown time.
They each exuded a powerful Aura, standing there like five towering mountains.
An old man in a green robe, short in stature, with white hair and beard, but eyes sharp as an eagle, revealing an extraordinary temperament; an enchanting female Cultivator in a red dress, with a beautiful face, but her brows revealing a cold and mysterious allure; a majestic man with a green scale on his brow, tall and imposing, with a powerful Aura, as if an unshakeable mountain; a burly, muscular, honest man, seemingly rough, but his eyes revealing determination and courage; and a fierce-faced man with golden hair, exuding a ferocious Aura, his Aura the most violent, like a beast about to go berserk.
At this moment, they looked up, gazing at the Yin Sha Dragon King in the sky, fully casting their spells, and working together with the five Spirit Treasures to form the Five Elements Grand Formation, protecting the three Spirit Ships.
The Auras they exuded were indeed those of Transformed Great Yao Kings.
Such a lineup was enough to make any strong individual hesitate.
"Master Li!" Wan Shaoming's expression was complex as he flew before Li Mu, too excited to speak.
The Wanbao Pavilion had dispatched two thunder spiritual ships to escort Li Mu to rendezvous with the treasure-hunting team, only to encounter this Yin Sha Dragon King.
In the end, Li Mu had to step in to protect them, which made Wan Shaoming feel somewhat ashamed.
"Commander Wan, is there any way to take down this Yin Dragon?"
"They are currently forming a Formation for passive defense against this endless Yin Sha breath and are temporarily unable to attack," Li Mu asked Wan Shaoming.
Wan Shaoming frowned upon hearing this, and said in a deep voice, "This Yin Sha Dragon King is too powerful.
Although it's not yet an Eighth-rank, due to the Yin Sha storm, its power is no less than an Eighth-rank Yao Beast, far exceeding our imagination.
I'm afraid there's no chance of taking it down.
I wonder, Great Master and Fellow Daoists, how long can this Five Elements Protection Formation last?"
"At this level, for them, ten days to half a month is not a problem!" Li Mu glanced at the five beast companions, and looked at Wan Shaoming, indicating, "Do you mean to keep dragging this out with it?"
Li Mu looked up and glanced at the Yin Sha Dragon King, indicating, "It seems determined to get us; it won't give up easily!"
Wan Shaoming gave a bitter smile and said helplessly, "Master is absolutely right.
This Yin Sha Dragon King seems to have an extremely strong hostility towards us and probably won't let us go easily.
Currently, it seems we can only rely on the Five Elements Grand Formation to try and deplete its power.
If the Yin Sha storm continues to shrink, it should also retreat with it."
"Such passive resistance won't do.
If another Yin Dragon appears, the Five Elements Grand Formation won't be able to handle it," Li Mu nodded, but did not fully agree with Wan Shaoming's view.
His eyes were deep as he gazed at the Yin Sha Dragon King above, contemplating a strategy.
"Indeed, we must guard against this!" Wan Shaoming nodded in agreement, looking at Li Mu and indicating, "Although this Yin Sha Dragon King is powerful, it is ultimately formed by the condensation of Yin Sha Qi, essentially belonging to Yin power.
Using Thunder power, or drawing upon the Yang power between heaven and earth, should be able to contend with it."
"The two thunder spiritual ships can still cause some damage to it, but I'm afraid this might provoke it, and the Five Elements Protection Formation might not be able to withstand its counterattack," Wan Shaoming said, looking at Li Mu.
"You don't need to worry about that.
First, attack and probe to see if we can find its weakness," Li Mu waved his hand, indicating.
Wan Shaoming nodded in agreement, then issued attack orders to the Cultivators.
The two thunder spiritual ships slowly sailed towards the Yin Sha Dragon King.
Their massive bodies appeared exceptionally majestic in the Void Realm, and their thick muzzles began to slowly rotate, firmly fixed on the Yin Sha Dragon King in the sky.
As the Cultivators on the warships began to activate their magic power, powerful Thunder power began to condense within the muzzles.
Purple lightning surged wildly within the muzzles, exuding astonishing might.
As the massive Thunder power gathered, the Yin Sha Dragon King also seemed to sense this strong threat.
It let out a heaven-shaking roar, and the Yin Sha Qi around its body intensified, attempting to resist the impending attack.
With a "sizzle," a powerful Thunder power instantly erupted from the muzzle, transforming into a thick purple thunderbolt that streaked across the sky in dazzling trajectories, like the angry sword of a Heavenly God, directly piercing towards the Yin Sha Dragon King's body.
With a loud "boom"!
The thick thunder light bloomed on the Yin Sha Dragon King's body, and countless plumes of smoke were produced.
When the light dissipated, smoke filled the air.
Within the thick fog, the massive body of the Yin Sha Dragon King was faintly visible, like a Demon God from Hell, inspiring awe.
It let out a long roar towards the sky, its voice shaking heaven and earth, as if venting the pain and anger of being struck by lightning.
Amidst the long roar, the Yin Sha Qi around the Yin Sha Dragon King's body grew even denser, like black flames burning.
Its body was faintly visible within the smoke, sometimes massive as a mountain, sometimes ethereal and illusory, giving an extremely strange sensation.
Seeing this, the Cultivators couldn't help but feel a hint of fear.
They knew that this Yin Sha Dragon King was clearly not harmed by the Violet Heaven Thunder Cannon; instead, it became even more violent, spewing out an even thicker Yin Sha Dragon Breath.
Fortunately, the Five Elements Spirit Domain gathered by the Five Elements Grand Formation was powerful and incredibly stable, successfully resisting the invasion of the Yin Sha Dragon Breath.
The Cultivators frowned tightly.
Even the Violet Heaven Thunder Cannon couldn't harm the Yin Sha Dragon King; what should they do next?
As everyone looked at the arrogant Yin Sha Dragon King, feeling helpless and at a loss, Li Mu's eyes lit up slightly.
His Divine Sense, which he had released earlier, allowed him to sense an anomaly on the Yin Sha Dragon King's body.
Li Mu noticed a subtle movement by the Yin Sha Dragon King during its breath attack: whenever it exhaled Yin Sha Qi, its chest would slightly contract, releasing dense Yin power, as if pouring out the condensed power from its core.
"Commander Wan, look at that glint of spiritual light on its chest!" Li Mu said, pointing at the Yin Sha Dragon King.
Wan Shaoming observed carefully and indeed discovered this subtle movement.
His heart stirred; could this be the Yin Sha Dragon King's weakness?
"Master Li, that should be the core where the Yin Sha Dragon King stores its Yin Pearl.
If we have a chance to break through there, we can severely wound this fiend!" Wan Shaoming immediately understood and explained to Li Mu, then changed his tone, saying with a bitter smile, "However, as you can see, this fiend is massive, and its Yin Sha power is endless.
Even the Violet Heaven Thunder Cannon cannot harm its surface, let alone its vital point."
Li Mu nodded, frowning in thought.
The situation was indeed as he described.
