Three days later.

Qin Ming arrived at Celestial River Market to purchase some supplies for emergencies.

Recently, even the cultivators in the market had increased significantly, having learned through various channels that a war was imminent in the Spirit Nest Islands, they flocked in to buy up supplies.

After Qin Ming finished his shopping and walked out of Mirror Snow Pavilion, he witnessed a shocking scene!

All the cultivators inside Celestial River Market had also come out, all gazing upwards.

Hundreds of large and small Dharma Ships were flying across the Celestial Vault of the Spirit Nest Islands, all heading towards Qianye Island, where the Zhao Family of the Seven Great Powers resided.

On the masts of these Dharma Ships, the flags of the 72 Island Loose Alliance were uniformly hung.

Led by the three largest giant Dharma Ship Battleships, it was clear they were the main ships of the Loose Alliance Headquarters.

On the exterior of these ships, rows of dark Spiritual Energy Giant Cannons were lined up on both sides, as if ready to devour everything.

Emitting a chilling aura of power.

The overwhelming Dharma Ships followed in an orderly fashion behind the three main ships, covered densely with countless cultivators.

Seeing such a massive formation, Qin Ming couldn't help but furrow his brows.

"I didn't expect the 72 Island Loose Alliance to have such deep foundations, launching everything from the start."

"It seems a great battle is inevitable."

"Forget it, I better hurry back to Wangyue Island and hide."

Then, after saying goodbye to Aunt Long.

He maneuvered the Spiritual Light Shuttle, flying back to his refuge.

Qin Ming was only halfway back.

From afar, he saw hundreds of Dharma Ships from the 72 Loose Alliance had already reached the vicinity of the Zhao Family's Qianye Island.

Qianye Island is the largest island in the Spirit Nest Islands, rich in cultivation resources.

The island hosts a Tier Three Low-Grade Spiritual Vein, the only one in the Spirit Nest Islands.

Weng~

A vast golden light barrier descended from the sky, like an inverted dome, enveloping the whole Qianye Island, with countless golden runes wandering along the edges of the array.

This was the Golden Flood Dragon Subduing Sea Array, crafted by the Zhao Family with the Tier Three Spiritual Vein as the core Array Hub, harnessing the powers of heaven and earth.

It is said that once fully activated, not even a Golden Core Ancestor can break through this array.

Loose Alliance's huge Dharma Ships carrying armies of cultivators began a frenzy of bombardment on the golden light barrier.

Various magic and the firepower from the ships' cannons bombarded the Golden Flood Dragon Subduing Sea Array, madly consuming the Zhao Family's Spirit Stone resources.

Once this Tier Three Array is fully activated, the consumption of Spirit Stones becomes a bottomless pit.

After reaching Tier Three, the path of arrays becomes integrated with the fabric of heaven and earth, even a Tier Three Forbidden-Breaking Talisman can only do minimal damage.

For as long as the Tier Three Spiritual Vein exists, there will be a continuous flow of spiritual qi to automatically restore the array.

Therefore, the Loose Alliance didn't choose to use the Tier Three Forbidden-Breaking Talisman at the start.

Instead, they first utilized the power of numerous cultivators and Dharma Ships to weaken the array.

Although they equally couldn't break through, they could continue consuming the supply to the array opened by the Zhao Family.

There would always come a moment when the array would reveal weaknesses.

Guided by Array Masters, the Loose Alliance's ships continuously adjusted their attack positions, focusing fire on several weak points of the array.

Half a day later.

The power of the Golden Flood Dragon Subduing Sea Array had been weakened by at least sixty percent compared to the beginning, revealing more flaws.

...

At this moment.

"Attack the target at Yin and Gen three points, fire!"

A spirited and commanding voice resounded.

Hearing the voice, Qin Ming suppressed his aura and hid among the clouds, secretly observing with his Divine Thought.

When he got a clear view of the situation a mile away, he couldn't help but be startled.

The cultivator who had just commanded the ship to attack was surprisingly Mo Lingwei of Qingxia Island.

The mana fluctuations emanating from her had already reached the aura of Early-stage Foundation Establishment.

It seemed she had successfully broken through after obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill.

However, at this moment, she was leading the Mo family members, and they were targeting the 72 Island Loose Alliance's ships with their fleet.

Besides Qingxia Island, more than a dozen various Spirit Islands suddenly launched attacks from the dark, directing their arrows at the 72 Island Loose Alliance.

It seemed these families had sided with the Zhao Family.

Realization struck Qin Ming as he understood how Mo Lingwei had obtained those two three-hundred-year Jade Marrow Mushrooms.

Not only her, but it's likely all these Spirit Island Clans had reached some sort of agreement or exchange with the Zhao Family. The moment the war started, they were thoroughly tied together with the Zhao Family, leaving no room to maneuver.

For a while, above the Spirit Nest Islands, various splendid magical collisions erupted like a dazzling fireworks display.

Seeing the timing as right, Huo Qianqiu, the Alliance Leader of the 72 Island Loose Alliance, standing on the main ship, took out a silver talisman with astonishing energy fluctuations.

"This Tier Three Forbidden-Breaking Talisman obtained at great cost is finally going to serve its purpose." Huo Qianqiu gently stroked the silver talisman, seemingly with some regret.

Yet, a cold light flashed in his eyes after a brief moment.

He lightly tapped the silver talisman and released it towards the now heavily mana-depleted Tier Three Defense Array.

Mo Lingwei and others also turned their heads, looking towards the direction of Qianye Island.

A silver stream of light swiftly plunged into the Golden Flood Dragon Subduing Sea Array.

It immediately triggered a cataclysmic tremor like an avalanche.

BOOM!

The golden light barrier shattered instantly, with countless golden runes fading rapidly, vanishing without a trace.

With the breaking of the Golden Flood Dragon Subduing Sea Array.

Countless cultivators shouted excitedly!

"Look! The Defense Array has been broken!"

"Qianye Spirit Island!"

"Charge, brothers!"

"Capture Qianye Spirit Island!"

"The Golden Core path is right before us!"

In an instant, cultivators from the Loose Alliance, opportunistic Tribulation Cultivators, and those of all backgrounds rushed towards Qianye Spirit Island as fast as they could, riding their Magical Artifacts.

Witnessing this situation, Mo Lingwei and her group furrowed their brows; they hadn't expected the Zhao Family's Tier Three Grand Array to be broken so quickly.

If Qianye Spirit Island fell, and the Zhao Family was defeated, the fate awaiting their allied families was evident.

Yet, Qin Ming's brow furrowed, his heart hinting at an intuition.

As one of the Seven Great Powers, the Zhao Family was likely not that simple.

Suddenly!

Ong~

A tremendously powerful sound echoed across the heavens and earth.

Outside Qianye Spirit Island, where the Golden Flood Dragon Subduing Sea Array had been breached, a new layer of blue light barrier ascended, infused with more complex Rune Power, flowing within.

Those cultivators seeking to benefit from the chaos crashed head-on into this blue light barrier.

Like moths to a flame, they turned to ashes before they could even touch the array, leaving no trace behind.

Every Dharma Ship Battleship that collided with the blue light barrier instantly burst into flames.

"Oh no!"

"Retreat quickly! It's a trap!"

"It's a High-Tier Compound Defense Array!"

"The Zhao Family is too treacherous! This enmity is irreconcilable!"

...

Qin Ming watched for a while, shook his head, and sighed, having little interest in joining the chaos.

Safety first.

He quietly concealed his presence and swiftly left the area.

Heading back to his Wangyue Island.
