Chapter 1159: 1063 Assault on Shichuan Island (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Shichuan Island, one of the three major strongholds of the Golden Dolphin Clan, boasted a large vein of Jinlang Divine Crystal. Jinlang Divine Crystal was a second-rank immortal material often used to refine middle-grade immortal artifacts like swords and blades.

This Jinlang Divine Crystal vein was a vital income source for the Golden Dolphin Clan, which had stationed two Golden Immortal Cultivators to guard it. Yi Lin was one of them.

In a practice room, an elderly, short, and stout man in a cyan robe sat cross-legged on a cyan meditation cushion, holding a Transcendent Mirror that shimmered with cyan light. Reflected in the mirror was a plump woman in a golden dress.

"The Ziyang Sect is targeting us?"

The elderly man in the cyan robe frowned as he spoke.

Yi Lin, early-stage Golden Immortal.

"That’s right. Several of our islands have fallen into enemy hands. The clan leader has instructed us to strengthen defenses and vigilantly guard against surprise attacks."

The woman in the golden dress spoke.

Zuo Yun, mid-stage Golden Immortal, was tasked alongside Yi Lin to oversee Shichuan Island.

"Shichuan Island is protected by the second-rank Qianxin Great Array. Even if a team of Golden Immortal Cultivators attacks, it’s not so easy to take down this formation."

Yi Lin replied dismissively.

But just as he finished speaking, the practice room began to tremble violently.

Zuo Yun’s expression shifted dramatically as she exclaimed, "Not good, we’re under attack! Quickly, go out and face the enemy."

Yi Lin’s face darkened as he put away the Transcendent Mirror and stepped out of his dwelling.

A massive golden light screen enveloped the entire Shichuan Island, its surface covered with intricate golden runes radiating profound mystery.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu stood high in the sky, their expressions cold and unyielding.

Su Changfeng had led the assault on islands controlled by the Golden Dolphin Clan, reaping significant victories. Shen Long and Chu Buyu had directly stormed Shichuan Island.

Yi Lin and Zuo Yun flew into the air, their faces equally grim.

"Just two Golden Immortal Cultivators dare to launch an assault on Shichuan Island? Truly overestimating yourselves."

Yi Lin sneered as he produced an array plate shimmering with golden light and infused it with a spell.

Zuo Yun also brought out a glowing golden law disk and cast a spell into it.

The golden runes across the light shield shone brightly, transforming into patterns of flying needles.

These flying needle patterns seemed to come alive, shooting straight toward Shen Long and Chu Buyu.

Chu Buyu flicked his sleeve, sending three metallic spheres flying forward, and activated a spell.

The three metallic spheres, accompanied by the sound of hidden mechanisms, transformed into three puppets, all of which were second-rank immortal puppets.

Chu Buyu urged his spell, prompting a cyan lion puppet to let out a heaven-shaking roar accompanied by a wave of cyan sound, countering the incoming golden flying needles.

The cyan soundwave clashed with the dense golden needles, mutual annihilation ensuing.

Shen Long opened his mouth, releasing the Qinglian True Flame, which transformed into a massive green Fire Phoenix that charged toward Shichuan Island.

Chu Buyu continued to urge his spell, directing the three immortal puppets to attack Shichuan Island.

"Second-rank Immortal Flame! Second-rank Immortal Puppets! No wonder they dare to attack Shichuan Island. Report this to the clan leader at once."

Zuo Yun ordered.

She flicked her sleeve, sending two metallic spheres flying out. A spell transformed the two metallic spheres into two human-shaped Puppet Beasts, also second-rank immortal puppets.

The Golden Dolphin Clan was deeply endowed with resources, so equipping Zuo Yun with such treasures came as no surprise.

Zuo Yun altered her spell, commanding the immortal puppets to engage in battle.

A blaze of cyan fire ignited near the golden light screen, and the green Fire Phoenix emerged, radiating terrifying heat as it collided with the golden shield.

A thunderous boom echoed as a massive cyan flame engulfed half of the golden light screen.

A whistling sound pierced the air as a massive crimson fist suddenly appeared, hammering the golden light screen.

The golden light screen trembled but remained unbroken.

Yi Lin flicked his sleeve, summoning a small cyan tower that flashed with light. He infused a spell into it, causing the tower to grow instantly and emit cyan rays, which aimed to suppress the cyan flames.

The cyan flames froze abruptly, reshaping themselves into the green Fire Phoenix. With a gentle flap of its wings, the phoenix vanished from its original position, evading the cyan light.

Shen Long wielded a Golden Great Rod, its golden radiance rippling as he whipped it, unleashing shadowy strikes of golden rods against the golden light shield.

The barrage of golden rod shadows landed on the shield with dull thuds.

But Shen Long had no intention of immediately breaking Shichuan Island’s defenses. He couldn’t be sure if the Ziyang Sect was already attacking Qingqi Island or how many Golden Immortal Cultivators the Golden Dolphin Clan still had.

For now, this was just a probing attack. If no Golden Immortal Cultivators arrived to reinforce Shichuan Island, Shen Long and Chu Buyu could go all out.

The True Immortal Cultivators stationed on Shichuan Island had also been mobilized, wielding laws to attack Shen Long and Chu Buyu.

Though they couldn’t harm Shen Long and Chu Buyu, they could still act as a distraction.

Golden light rippled across Shen Long’s body, while Chu Buyu unleashed a powerful shout—Soul Subduing Roar.

The Qianxin Great Array, a second-rank immortal array, had no defense against Divine Soul attacks.

Every cultivator below the Golden Immortal level perished instantly, collapsing to the ground.

"Soul Subduing Roar! You’ve mastered the fourth layer of the Taiyi Yuan Soul Method."

Yi Lin exclaimed in shock, his face sinking further.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu remained indifferent. As they knew, many forces in the Glazed Sea Domain had the Taiyi Yuan Soul Method, with varying mastery levels. It was no great secret to them.

······

On Golden Dolphin Island, within a sprawling estate, Jin Qi and a tall, burly man in a purple robe sat in a green stone pavilion as Qing Zhi reported to them.

"What? Only two early-stage Golden Immortal Cultivators dare to attack Shichuan Island? Their courage knows no bounds!"

The burly man in purple frowned as he spoke.

Teng Jin, mid-stage Golden Immortal.

The Golden Dolphin Clan currently had ten Golden Immortal Cultivators. Three were traveling abroad, and seven remained in the Glazed Sea Domain.

Three guarded Golden Dolphin Island, while Shichuan Island and Qingqi Island each had two stationed Golden Immortals.

The current Great Elder of the Golden Dolphin Clan was only a mid-stage Golden Immortal, whereas the previous Great Elder, a late-stage Golden Immortal, had perished in a war over five million years ago.

"They also possess second-rank Immortal Flames and Puppets. The leaders are Shen Long and Chu Buyu from the Myriad Beasts Sect. They’re Ascenders who managed to reach the Golden Immortal Phase in less than a million years. We don’t yet know what laws they wield."

Qing Zhi explained slowly.

"Shichuan Island is equipped with a second-rank immortal array and has two Golden Immortals stationed. It shouldn’t be an issue. Qin Jiang and Sun Xi are leading the assault on Qingqi Island, wielding a set of middle-grade immortal artifacts and second-rank immortal talismans. Taoist Shan and the others are under considerable pressure. Teng, would you head over to support them?"

Jin Qi suggested.

In terms of resources, the Ziyang Sect far outclassed the Myriad Beasts Sect. In cultivation, Qin Jiang was mid-stage Golden Immortal, while Shen Long and Chu Buyu were both early-stage Golden Immortal.

Their use of second-rank immortal talismans, puppets, and middle-grade immortal artifacts was creating significant strain for the Golden Immortals defending Qingqi Island.

"But that would leave only you and Lady Zuo as Golden Immortals here on Golden Dolphin Island. Is that sufficient? Perhaps we should call for reinforcements?"

Teng Jin proposed.

"Handing Shichuan and Qingqi Islands to them won’t make them stop; they’ll just push forward to Golden Dolphin Island, increasing the pressure on us. Retreating isn’t out of the question, but not before weakening their forces. If we abandon Shichuan and Qingqi Islands this early into the battle, the Heavenly Ghost Sect won’t come to our aid. At the very least, we’ll need to hold out for a while."

Jin Qi replied solemnly.

"You’re right. Fine! I’ll personally lead reinforcements to Qingqi Island. Be vigilant and don’t forget what happened to the Wei Family."

Teng Jin advised.

Jin Qi agreed and sent Teng Jin to Qingqi Island.

Jin Qi had already made up his mind—they would hold out for a few hours, then call on the Heavenly Ghost Sect for help.

The enemy had just begun their assault on Shichuan and Qingqi Islands, and the Golden Dolphin Clan was not yet ready to abandon these vital strongholds.

······

On Shichuan Island, a massive cyan lightning burst into view in the sky, its power awe-inspiring.

Moments later, the cyan lightning dispersed, revealing Shen Long within, unscathed and shielded by a five-colored light barrier, with a five-colored bead string in his left hand.

"A complete set of middle-grade immortal artifacts!"

Zuo Yun frowned, her willow-like brows drawn together.

After a tea’s time of fighting, Zuo Yun had even used second-rank immortal talismans but failed to injure Shen Long.

"Enough playing games!"

Shen Long’s tone was icy as his fists moved in unison.

A piercing sound sliced through the sky as countless crimson fist shadows emerged, forming a massive crimson river rushing toward Shichuan Island.

By now, after fighting for the time it takes to brew tea with no reinforcements arriving, Shen Long was certain Qin Jiang and Sun Xi were engaged at Qingqi Island.

With this assurance, Shen Long decided to obliterate Zuo Yun and Yi Lin.

Chu Buyu raised his right hand and unleashed a golden talisman that sped toward Shichuan Island.

"Stop that second-rank talisman!"

Zuo Yun commanded sternly.

She raised her right hand, launching a golden shield to intercept the golden talisman.

She assumed the golden talisman was a type of spell to weaken the array’s effect and naturally wouldn’t allow it to succeed.

As the golden talisman closed to within a hundred lengths of the golden shield, it detonated suddenly, transforming into a massive golden firestorm that engulfed half the golden light screen.

Near the shimmering golden light, a figure emerged—Shen Chan.

From his eyes shot beams of golden light that struck the shield.

The golden light screen began to emit smoke and dim noticeably.

"Not good, a diversion!"

Yi Lin’s brows furrowed deeply.

A fierce gale arose, and Shen Long appeared, donning the Crimson Flame Gauntlets.

With a wave of his twin fists, he struck the golden light screen.

Thunderous explosions erupted as the shield shattered, leaving Zuo Yun and Yi Lin exposed to Shen Long and Chu Buyu.

A cyan blaze ignited behind Zuo Yun and Yi Lin, materializing into a green Fire Phoenix as the surrounding temperature soared.

Zuo Yun’s body flared with golden light before she vanished in a streak of gold.

Yi Lin had no time to escape; the green Fire Phoenix collided with his Protective Immortal Light.

With a resounding explosion, cyan flames engulfed Yi Lin’s figure.
