Facing the fierce bird's gaze, the cloud of mist transformed from the woman contracted and expanded, instantly shooting out over a dozen massive blade beams.
This time, the firebird shrieked and swayed left and right, dodging these attacks.
The cloud of mist that the old woman had transformed into rose into the sky after the attack, heading in another direction. The red cloud on the firebird's body contracted, revealing a massive body over ten zhang long.
This was actually a firebird entirely crimson red. With a flash of its fiery wings, it gave chase.
The white-robed old man who was left alone on the main peak sighed in relief as he watched the high-level demonic bird being lured away. He knew the terror of high-level demonic birds.
Then, the old man turned his head to look at the other two high-level sea beasts: a Rank 6 black-armored turtle and a Rank 5 lightning fish.
At this moment, the sound of a bell rang out.
Subsequently, the light screens of the formations outside several large mountains began to change, with various colored spiritual light arrays appearing on their exterior.
As soon as these arrays appeared, they emitted a powerful aura. Mountain-shaking and tsunami-like spells rose from the formations, attacking the sea beasts outside.
Meteor fire rain, ice spikes, and even continuous wind blades… all kinds of large-scale spells were unleashed.
At this moment, the formations were at full power, instantly killing a large number of sea beasts.
Upon hearing the bell, cultivators like Zhang Ling naturally knew that the war had reached its most intense moment. The appearance of the bell also indicated the emergence of high-level sea beasts.
Zhang Ling saw countless sea beasts rushing past him, without spotting the so-called high-level sea beasts, but he could infer the current situation from the roars he had heard earlier.
With a wave of his hand, he scattered a handful of black spiritual seeds. As soon as these seeds entered the water, they transformed into thick green vines, continuously growing wildly and attacking the surrounding sea beasts.
These were water-vine seeds, which he had acquired from the market after arriving at this place. They would grow wildly upon contact with water.
They might not be much against Rank 3 or 4 sea beasts, but they were quite effective against low-level sea beasts.
Once entangled by the water vines, the weaker sea beasts were immediately strangled in half.
However, he didn't have many water-vine seeds in his possession, as he hadn't used them before.
Moreover, these wildly growing water vines would wither on their own after a quarter of an hour, which was also a characteristic of this spiritual plant.
Therefore, it was unrealistic to trap a large number of sea beasts with water vines.
Fortunately, they were exceptionally tough. Even Rank 2 sea beasts would have their swimming speed affected if they were entangled by them. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Ling directly killed two Rank 2 sea beasts trapped within.
But he couldn't bother to collect the corpses, as the bodies of the two sea beasts were submerged by the numerous sea beasts nearby.
Since the appearance of those high-level demonic beasts, these sea beasts had become much more frantic. Their attack power had greatly increased, with many sea beasts releasing spiritual energy attacks or directly ramming the formation's light screen with their massive bodies.
……
With the full power of the formations unleashed, a large number of sea beasts were killed, greatly reducing the pressure on the cultivators.
The white-robed old man on the main peak raised his hand and released a jade token.
He tapped it a few times, then flipped his hand, producing several strings of small black flags.
Then, the man leaped up and flew outside the formation. With a wave of his hand, the jade token and many battle flags were thrown towards the foot of the mountain on the left, disappearing into the sea.
Only then did the white-robed old man fly towards the giant turtle sea beast, which was still some distance from the mountain.
The old man patted his head and spat out a dark black alms bowl. This was his natal magic treasure.
Facing a Rank 6 sea beast, he dared not be careless.
With a turn of the black alms bowl, a black gas floated out from it, flashing towards the giant turtle.
The black gas looked like a thin layer, but when it hit the giant turtle, it formed a layer of black light, followed by a strong cold wind.
In a few breaths, the giant turtle was frozen in place by the ice wind. Even the sea surface of more than ten zhang below it was frozen.
Seeing this, a flash of light appeared in the old man's eyes, and he urged the magic formula in his hand. The black gas in the black alms bowl rolled, instantly winding and intertwining to form a small black ice cone.
"Go!"
The black ice cone rotated a few times and turned into an ice thorn about two zhang long, striking towards the frozen giant turtle's head.
It seemed to be trying to kill the monster with one blow.
However, the giant turtle frozen on the sea surface let out a strange cry, then shook its huge body, and the ice on its body shattered inch by inch.
Seeing the black ice thorn approaching, the giant turtle shrunk its head, pulling its massive head back into its shell, seemingly trying to avoid the ice thorn.
But the next moment, just as the black ice thorn was about to strike, its head suddenly stretched out, and it bit the ice thorn in its mouth.
With a few crisp cracking sounds, the giant turtle shook its head a few times and swallowed the black ice thorn into its stomach, howling excitedly at the old man, as if it had eaten a great tonic.
Seeing this, the white-robed old man's face turned ugly.
The giant turtle stared at the old man for a few moments, and seeing that he was about to launch an ice thorn, it hissed, and a flash of blue light appeared on its back, and thick ice pillars condensed out.
With a shake of its head, the ice cones on its back flew up one by one, smashing towards the white-robed old man.
This giant turtle seemed to be an ice-attribute turtle demon. With ice cones raining down, the old man naturally would not stay in place, and flashed towards another direction.
Then, the old man moved around constantly with the giant turtle, and in a short time, it affected many other sea beasts instead.
In the sky on the other side, flame blade beams intertwined, and bursts of explosions came.
The most intense battle was still in another battle group a mile away, where thunder and wind howled constantly.
In a wave of more than twenty zhang high, two dragons, one green and one black, coiled and swam within it. Then, swords of water as fast as lightning flew out of the wave, attacking a golden figure.
The old man surnamed Fang, surrounded by golden light, had three golden long swords around him, remaining unmoving despite the incoming water swords.
This man pinched a magic formula, and the three golden swords hummed, transforming one into two, and two into four, instantly forming countless golden sword shadows in front of him. The water swords disappeared silently as soon as they touched these sword shadows.
Looking at the dense, endless attacks of water swords, the old man narrowed his eyes.
The three golden swords surrounding him shone brightly. Under his urging, they rose into the sky, overlapping in the air several zhang above his head, transforming into a giant golden sword five or six zhang long.
Golden light flickered uncertainly on it, and a layer of golden wind formed on it. With just this, the old man pointed towards the front.
The golden light flashed out, and the giant sword attacked the two dragons in the waves. These two demons were naturally not vegetarians, and they also felt the powerful power on the golden sword.
They opened their mouths and spat out two masses of blue-black liquid. When these liquids appeared, they did not attack their opponent, but instead solidified and hardened, forming a layer of hard material covering themselves.
Then, the two dragon demons swayed their bodies and disappeared into the sea. Subsequently, water tornadoes rose into the sky, attacking the old man's position as if they were alive.
