This scene immediately changed the expressions of Jiang Chengxuan and the others.
They hadn’t anticipated that the demonic cultivators would possess the ability to control these mutated creatures.
Utilizing them, the enemy could significantly wear down the grand array they were tasked with defending.
“It seems we must take action now,” Gudu Baifei declared gravely.
Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and Perfected Lord Vast River had no objections to his suggestion.
At that moment, everyone immediately gathered all the cultivators on the island and gave them orders to target the monsters that had already mutated in the sea.
Fortunately, their array allowed them to attack from the inside out.
This meant they could strike at enemies outside the array without leaving its protection.
In fact, under the enhancement of the array, the power of everyone’s attacks could be increased to a certain extent.
Soon, a barrage of Dharma treasures, divine powers, talismans, and spells rained down on the mutated creatures.
Boom, boom, boom!
In the blink of an eye, the sea erupted in massive bursts of flame.
The sea creatures, now completely devoid of sentience and thoroughly monstrous, were met with the full force of the cultivators’ onslaught.
Thousands were slain instantly, their blood staining the sea red.
However, the sea teemed with an endless number of these creatures.
No sooner had one wave been repelled than another followed, then another, and another.
In just half a day, some cultivators began to feel the strain, their Dharmic power and energy nearing depletion.
“We can’t keep this up.”
Perfected Lord Vast River looked at the countless mutated monsters in the sea that were still densely packed outside the array and could not help but say in a deep voice,
“We have to create time for everyone to rest.
Even if we can hold out for now, we won’t last much longer.
Also…”
Suddenly, a killing intent flashed past Perfected Lord Vast River’s eyes.
“If possible, it’s best if we can get rid of the fellows who drive these deformed monsters.
Only then can you and I resolve the problem in front of us once and for all.”
It was undeniable that Perfected Lord Vast River’s words made sense in theory.
But in reality, it was very difficult to do.
Especially the part about eliminating the demonic cultivators controlling the mutated creatures. How could they be sure these individuals weren’t just bait?
Given the numbers and strength on both sides, relying on the array, they could continue to resist the enemy. However, leaving the safety of the array to confront these demonic cultivators directly would be perilously risky.
So.
At this point, the best approach for Jiang Chengxuan and his group was to arrange a rotation of personnel to utilize the array’s power to resist the attacks of the demonic cultivators.
As it turned out.
This strategy proved to be correct.
In the following period, several cultivators who ventured out of the array to engage the demonic cultivators in direct combat ended up being killed, almost causing the array they were defending to be breached.
With such a tragic lesson in front of them, even though Jiang Chengxuan and the others prided themselves on being extraordinary, they did not have the intention to casually risk their lives.
Just like that.
They persisted in their defense for nearly half a year.
By this time, the number of mutated sea creatures killed by them and the array had become innumerable.
Meanwhile, in the skies above the array, the group of demonic cultivators grew increasingly impatient.
A man with a long scar on his face suddenly narrowed his eyes and said to everyone present,
“Everyone, since things have come to this, it’s about time for you and me to attack.
Otherwise, if we continue to delay like this, it will be a waste of time. However, if we delay the mission given by the Supreme One, it will be our fault.”
Upon hearing his words, the other late-stage Nascent Soul demonic cultivators present showed signs of agreement.
One of the extremely enchanting women smiled and said,
“Fellow Daoist Tian Luo is right.
However, what should we do next to break the array of the guys below?”
Hearing this woman’s words, the scar-faced man couldn’t help but smile sinisterly.
He raised his hand and flipped it.
An orb surrounded by endless demonic qi appeared in his hand, but it flickered with endless black lightning.
“Divine Demonic Orb. I believe everyone has been bestowed with this treasure by His Lordship before coming, right?
This treasure contained a large amount of Demonic Qi and could contaminate every spiritual thing in this world.
Even arrays and divine powers can be contaminated by it.
After that, combined with you, me, and everyone else, I don’t believe that those guys can still hold on.”
Hearing Tian Luo’s words, a trace of reluctance flashed across the eyes of the enchanting woman and the other five grand demonic cultivators.
One had to know that the Divine Demonic Orb that Tian Luo had taken out was a rare treasure..
