Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1491 - 1489: The Struggle for Supremacy

The Formation, although having the characteristic of autonomously maintaining itself before energy reserves are depleted, ultimately requires cultivators to control it; only then can its power be maximized.

Simply put, Unparalleled Island's protective array currently has some energy reserves. However, when defending against invading enemies, this energy is continually consumed. Once the reserved energy is exhausted, the protective array can no longer be maintained.

The only way to persist longer is to manually control the array by injecting spirit force from cultivators into the array hub or look for ways to stimulate the power of the spirit jade to supplement the array.

But no matter how you do it, manpower is essential!

And the biggest problem Unparalleled Island currently faces is the shortage of manpower!

Thus, Chu Shen didn't even consider just defending, because in the present situation, mere defense is futile; a counterattack is necessary to have any glimmer of hope.

A qualified big array not only needs defensive capabilities but also the power to counterattack!

Of the four million spirit jade Chu Shen spent, half was used for arranging the array's defense, while the other half was for deploying some assault-oriented spirit treasures.

Each of those spirit treasures is a powerful weapon for attacking fortresses, entirely different from the ordinary spirit treasures used by cultivators. Such spirit treasures are expensive and difficult to maneuver, and even a Constellation Late Stage cultivator would find it hard to wield them. These are often equipped on starships in stellar space.

However, at this moment, many Constellation Early Stage cultivators on Unparalleled Island are leveraging the power of the array disc, connecting their energies. The strength of several people can easily be unified.

Thus, those siege weapons placed in various Array Eyes can be activated to unleash their power.

Including Chu Shen, fourteen Constellation Early Stage cultivators were divided into three teams, each heading to the Array Eyes of three assault magic arrays.

Seeing the scene, Nan Xingzhen hurriedly transmitted audio to all sides: "Be careful, everyone!"

He himself was not afraid of Unparalleled Island's counterattack, given his strength, but the hundreds of Constellations he brought might not withstand it. If they were unable to dodge in time, unnecessary casualties might occur.

Their Koi Island was not a particularly strong force either, and this time they had virtually emptied their nest to capture Unparalleled Island. Any casualties would be an irreparable loss.

Just as he finished speaking, a buzzing sound emanated from Unparalleled Island, immediately followed by a light pillar erupting from somewhere on the island, aimed at the densest part of the crowd.

Nan Xingzhen's face fell because he discovered that the attack activated by the enemy was exceptionally fierce, far exceeding his expectations!

The protective array defends against external attacks but not internal ones. All attacks from outside were blocked by the light shield of the protective array. However, attacks launched from within the island were unaffected, passing straight through the array's light shield.

The speed was as swift as lightning. Although some cultivators reacted quickly and dodged, a portion still failed to respond in time.

Nan Xingzhen flickered and stood before these people, reaching out to grab the violently incoming light pillar in his palm.

This force, enough to shake Moon Jade, only caused his body to tremble slightly before settling tranquilly.

However, before he could catch his breath, another fierce force erupted from a different Array Eye on Unparalleled Island. A pitch-black beam pierced through the protective array's light shield, suddenly twisted and transformed into a tiger, viciously roaring as it lunged towards another spot.

Nan Xingzhen was already too late to block it. Fortunately, another Moon Jade woman summoned a protective magic treasure to intercept this attack. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Then came the third attack!

Chu Shen and his team, divided into three squads, could only trigger the spirit treasure power installed in three assault arrays.

This third attack was unlike the previous two. Though the attack was launched, no one could see it. There was only a loud bang, followed by someone dizzy and plummeting downwards, almost falling into All Phenomena Ocean below. If that had happened, there would be no chance of survival.

Luckily, Koi Island had sent quite a few people this time, and nearby companions promptly noticed and rushed to the rescue, allowing that person to escape unscathed.

"Sonic attack!" Nan Xingzhen's expression changed again, staring at the source of the third attack, where Chu Shen's squad was located.

He couldn't comprehend how a seemingly weak Unparalleled Island possessed such mysterious treasures. Such a spirit treasure would easily fetch over ten thousand spirit jade, and moreover, it's not something you can buy just with money.

What he didn't know was that Chu Shen had many treasures, and though not all were suitable as Array Eyes, one or two could be. This sonic attack treasure was one of them, featuring invisibility and intangibility, making it impossible to defend!

The three counterattacks from Unparalleled Island, launched almost simultaneously, made those from Koi Island realize that this was not a simple bone to chew.

On Unparalleled Island, Tang Jun, with both hands tucked into his sleeves, suddenly turned to look at Ban Ci not far away: "I don't care why you've come here or why you've not left, but if you dare to act against this island, I won't let you off easily!"

Recently, he had been collaborating with Ban Ci to manage and deploy the island's big arrays. The more they worked together, the more he felt this woman was extraordinary. Such a person might hail from an exceptional background. Tang Jun had probed openly and covertly to ascertain Ban Ci's origins, but he hadn't made much progress.

Though Unparalleled Island on the surface was ruled by Chu Shen, it was actually about the future path for the cultivators of Qingli Dao World. If one day the way home was found, then the people of Qingli Dao World could also come to All Phenomena Ocean, establish themselves, and cultivate on Unparalleled Island.

It can be said that, although Tang Jun had not been here for long, he had completely embraced this place and naturally didn't want any mishaps on Unparalleled Island.

He could basically see through the others, except Ban Ci, which prompted his warning to prevent any unnecessary thoughts from taking root.

Ban Ci was stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips with a smile: "Elder Tang, rest assured, although it's hard to explain to you, I can assure you that even if something happens to me, the Island Master will remain unscathed!"

Tang Jun deeply stared at her, as if wanting to peer into her heart's depths.

Regarding Chu Shen's origins, he knew somewhat, and now hearing Ban Ci say this, he roughly guessed her background.

"Then, it's up to you!" He nodded slightly, as his form shot skyward, heading directly toward Nan Xingzhen.

Almost simultaneously with his action, on the other side of Unparalleled Island, three figures arose to meet the Moon Jade woman.

These three figures were naturally led by Lu Ye.

Among the invading forces were two Moon Jades. Tang Jun could restrain Nan Xingzhen, and if the three could confront the Moon Jade woman using their formation, the pressure on Unparalleled Island would greatly lessen.

By then, Unparalleled Island would only need to face a group of Constellations, and Chu Shen and others, managing three assault magic arrays and unleashing the power of the array eye's spirit treasures, might not be powerless.

In an instant, the two Moon Jade mid-stagers were locked in combat, their mana clashing endlessly, fighting fiercely.

On Lu Ye's side, barely approaching the Moon Jade woman, several invader Constellations emerged head-on, the forefront of which was a burly figure, blood Qi overflowing, unmistakably a physique cultivator.

Initially seeing Lu Ye's trio's loosely arranged formation, he didn't think much of it, but during their rapid approach, he saw spirit lights erupt around Lu Ye's trio, their spirit forces converging and intermingling, tightly connected.

In a flash, the simplest Three Talents Array was formed.

Even the simplest formation caused a surge in Lu Ye's aura.

That physique cultivator was startled and wanted to halt, but it was too late. The moment the Three Talents Array formed, Lu Ye's speed suddenly increased, instantly pouncing towards the physique cultivator.

The deathly aura suddenly descended, leaving the physique cultivator cold all over. He roared, throwing a punch that was a hurried full-force burst, causing his abundant blood Qi to wither in an instant, accompanying the punch.

Such a punch was fiercely unmatched!

With one punch, Lu Ye's silhouette shattered.

But amidst the shattered silhouette, a blade light flashed out.

Nearby, Piao Ke and the specter Na saw a peculiar glint in their eyes, utterly unexpected of Li Taibai's formidable strength!

Especially Piao Ke, who had known Lu Ye for nearly two years, since shortly after Lu Ye arrived at All Phenomena Ocean. Yet, Piao Ke had never seen him in action, thus naturally unaware of his power.

It was only now he realized that this friend who once sought his advice on fishing was deeply hidden!

What surprised Piao Ke and the specter Na further was that the blade's elegance evoked a familiar trace for them, involuntarily reminding them of the Skeletal General's valiant fight in the tomb chamber.

The two turned and exchanged glances, every understanding clear without words.

The physique cultivator still maintained a punching stance; Lu Ye's figure clearly shattered, yet as that blade light flashed, he reappeared behind the physique cultivator without looking back, continuing his advance.

Behind him, amidst the swirling spirit force, the physique cultivator's body suddenly fragmented, falling into many pieces towards All Phenomena Ocean, each cut cleanly aligned.

As for the few Constellations who approached with the physique cultivator, none reacted before Lu Ye's trio charged fiercely.

Like a tiger in a flock of sheep, Lu Ye's blade light flickered, Piao Ke's fishing rod lightly swung, and the specter Na's five fingers, ghostly claws, shattered and routed their defenses. Even if they were also Constellation Late Stage, none could parry any of the trio's attacks.

The Constellations didn't even know how they died!

Considerable disparities exist even within the Constellation Late Stage. Not to mention Lu Ye, even Piao Ke and the specter Na, neither of them was simple. One ranked over a hundred on the Cumulated Points Ranking, while the other nearly two hundred, making them among the top-tier in the Constellation Realm. Only those similarly ranked on the Cumulated Points Ranking could contend with them; other Constellations simply weren't on the same level.

Moreover, the trio now formed a formation, and these Constellations who hadn't even appeared on the Cumulated Points Ranking were not opponents for the trio.
