The fourth-grade late-stage 'Xuanyou Black Gold Beast' broke through the protective shield of the formation and entered the interior of the formation with a group of 'Xuanyou Black Gold Beasts'.
Li Shiming was the closest great cultivator. He suppressed the urge to attack with all his strength. He didn't know whether his 'Liuli Feiyun Sword' could withstand the erosion of the 'Xuanyou Wujin Beast' in the late fourth grade when it attacked physically.
He didn't believe that the Yuzhu Islands had no backup plan. If they couldn't hold on, he would use "Instantaneous Escape" to leave.
As for the employment remuneration, who would risk their life for that little bit of money!
He still separated hundreds of sword lights from the 'Liuli Feiyun Sword' and slashed towards the 'Xuanyou Wujin Beast' that poured in from the gap in the formation. He made way for the fourth-grade late-stage 'Xuanyou Wujin Beast'.
Although the fourth-grade late-stage 'Xuanyou Black Gold Beast' has entered the interior of the formation, there is another defensive shield on each island, which is the second line of defense.
Li Shiming thought that once the second line of defense was broken, that would be the time for him to retreat. By then, even the Yuzhu Islands would not be able to blame him for anything.
Just as he was killing a large number of 'Xuanyou Black Gold Beasts', an extremely terrifying aura emanated from the main island.
Then a beam of light shot out from the main island towards the fourth-grade late-stage 'Xuanyou Wujin Beast'. The fourth-grade late-stage 'Xuanyou Wujin Beast' sensed the attack of this light, but its body seemed to be fixed, unable to move at all, and could only watch the light shoot over.
The light passed through the late fourth-grade 'Xuanyou Wujin Beast', a powerful spiritual beast equivalent to a great human cultivator. Its life breath was extinguished after the light passed through.
The light did not stop, but turned into a beam of light and rushed towards the distance.
Li Shiming used the "Divine Eyes" to observe that the beam of light was as thick as a wrist, and it shot out ten thousand meters before disappearing.
As the light traveled ten thousand meters, everything that stood in its way was eliminated.
No matter whether it was the 'Xuanyou Black Gold Beast' or the sea water, they all disappeared as soon as they came into contact with the light.
From the direction of the main island, the great monk Wu Ding used some means to collect the corpse of the fourth-grade late-stage 'Xuanyou Wujin Beast'. Li Shiming couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, as he had wanted to study the corpse of the fourth-grade late-stage 'Xuanyou Wujin Beast'.
This is the territory of the Yuzhu Islands, and the previous attack was made by a half-step great master. Li Shiming does not want to make enemies with the Yuzhu Islands because of the corpse of a spirit beast.
The demise of the fourth-grade late-stage 'Xuanyou Wujin Beast' made the group of 'Xuanyou Wujin Beasts' no longer so fearless, they became afraid.
A large number of 'Xuanyou Black Gold Beasts' stopped moving forward, some turned around, and some dispersed to the left and right.
Li Shiming breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the beast tide was finally over.
He has recalled the attack of the Half-Step Great Master. That attack contained many rules, and the power contained in the attack far exceeded that of the peak great cultivator. Even his strongest blessing, the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl', and the thunder method emitted by the spiritual treasure 'Heavenly Thunder Hammer' were not even one tenth of the power of the previous attack.
The IBMz15, Li Shiming's life-saving magic weapon, recorded the attack of the Half-Step Great Power. A large amount of data flashed in front of Li Shiming's eyes, all of which were the data of the light of the Half-Step Great Power.
"Get ready, it's not over yet!" came the voice of Master Wu Ding.
Li Shiming came back to his senses all of a sudden. He looked into the distance and the group of escaping 'Xuanyou Wujin Beasts' seemed to have received some orders. They reunited and rushed towards this side again.
He took a look at the gap in the formation. Although the formation master had repaired it, the time was too short and the shield at that location was much thinner than other places. It was expected that the gap would be broken soon again.
The most terrifying thing about the 'Xuanyou Black Gold Beast' is the corrosive fog. Without the corrosive fog, these 'Xuanyou Black Gold Beasts', which are mainly of the third rank, can be easily killed by any Nascent Soul cultivator.
However, the fog of corrosion made the monks dare not use their magic weapons to attack. Even if they used energy attacks, the energy could not last long in the fog of corrosion.
Because of this, the monk's range attack could not achieve the desired effect, and he could only continue to attack to kill the "Xuanyou Black Gold Beast".
But the number of the 'Xuanyou Black Gold Beasts' was too huge, which was why the Yuzhu Islands formation was broken just now.
Of course, Li Shiming could also see that among the thirty-six great monks here, except for the great monks from the Yuzhu Islands themselves, the other great monks did not show too many means.
The same goes for Li Shiming himself. If he goes all out, he can withstand the impact of the "Xuanyou Black Gold Beast" in an area by himself.
Li Shiming separated out another three hundred sword lights, and he blocked the three hundred sword lights outside the protective shield of the formation, especially at the previous gap.
The hundred-meter-high waves came like a wall. This time the waves looked black. That was because there were too many "Xuanyou Wujin Beasts" in the waves, so many that they could change the color of the waves.
The great monks continued to use various long-range energy attack methods to continuously attack the 'Xuanyou Black Gold Beast' in the waves.
Every attack would create a large area of corrosive fog.
But compared to the waves, these attacks cannot slow down the speed of the waves.
Just as the waves were about to hit the formation's shield, something unexpected happened.
The 'Xuanyou Wujin Beasts' in the waves exploded together. Although the power of the self-explosion of a third-grade 'Xuanyou Wujin Beast' is limited, the combined power of countless third-grade 'Xuanyou Wujin Beasts' exploding together is still very powerful.
The power of self-detonation is one thing, but on the other hand, the corrosive fog produced after the self-detonation of the "Xuanyou Black Gold Beast" is the most terrifying.
The gray corrosive fog covered the front of the formation, and the corrosive fog stained the protective shield of the formation. Although the weakest gap was guarded by Li Shiming's sword light and the invading corrosive fog was limited, the other parts of the protective shield of the formation were covered with corrosive fog.
Li Shiming has a connection with the formation, and through IBMz15 he can get more information about the formation.
He felt that the energy of the formation was rapidly decreasing, and he knew that this was the result of the formation's shield being eroded by the corrosive fog.
Think about it, the corrosive fog can corrode the magic weapon of the great monk. Perhaps the large array shield can resist a small amount of corrosive fog, but once the amount of corrosive fog is large, the large array shield will also be difficult to resist.
"Change the formation!" Great Monk Wu Ding shouted in a deep voice.
From the fact that his voice was almost broken, it could be heard that he was definitely not in a very good mood at the moment.
The thirty-six islands began to move again, but this time was different from before. Some of the thirty-six islands rose and some fell. Before the protective shield of the large formation was eroded and destroyed, it turned into a wall composed of three rows of islands.
In this way, all thirty-six islands are facing the group of "Xuanyou Wujin Beasts".
Li Shiming didn't understand why the Yuzhu Islands were like this. Wouldn't this make the Yuzhu Islands lose all their depth? Once attacked by a group of 'Xuanyou Wujin Beasts', all the islands would be attacked at the same time.
Just when he was puzzled, the monks on the thirty-six islands pushed wooden barrels towards the group of "Xuanyou Wujin Beasts".
At this time, the protective shield of the large formation could no longer hold on, and the entire shield turned into a spot of light and disappeared. The area that Li Shiming used sword light to protect also disappeared due to the disappearance of the entire shield of the large formation.
The fog of corrosion did not disappear. I don't know what method the 'Xuanyou Black Gold Beast' used, but the fog of corrosion rushed towards this side.
Hundreds of wooden barrels were getting closer and closer to the corrosive fog. The barrels seemed to be painted with simple floating runes, which made the barrels form a wall and collided with the corrosive fog which was also like a wall.
The wooden barrel was unable to withstand the erosion of the corrosive mist. The barrel was corroded and the liquid inside splashed out.
"What a big deal!" Li Shiming couldn't help but be surprised when he saw those **.
If he was not mistaken, those things were all highly poisonous, and they were grade four poisons.
He didn't know what the situation was like in the 'Yundaihai', but in the previous world of immortal cultivation, the value of the fourth-grade poison was not low. He had never heard of it being packed in barrels. Instead, it was stored in jade bottles that could better preserve the quality of the poison.
With hundreds of barrels of fourth-grade poison at once, Li Shiming felt sorry for the Yuzhu Islands.
When the corrosive mist met this fourth-grade poison, the two poisons produced a strange fusion effect, and then the corrosive mist turned into liquid and fell into the sea from the air.
Some of the 'Xuanyou Black Gold Beasts' in the corrosive fog were also corroded by the fourth-grade poison, and a large number of 'Xuanyou Black Gold Beasts' that were close to the poison died.
"Please all the great monks inject spiritual power into the nodes of the formation. I will control the attack from now on!" Great Monk Wu Ding continued.
Since the half-step great master had demonstrated his strength before, even if some great cultivators were unwilling, it would be inappropriate for them to raise opinions at this time.
Following the instructions of Master Wu Ding, Li Shiming injected his spiritual power into the nodes of the formation.
He was delighted at this moment, because the changes in the Yuzhu Islands formation would allow IBMz15 to discover more secrets of this formation.
The spiritual power of the thirty-six great monks entered the node, and channels of energy appeared between the thirty-six islands and connected to each other.
These connected energies are further refined and transformed into smaller networks.
Thirty-six islands flew towards the group of "Xuanyou Wujin Beasts", and right in front of them was a large net made of energy.
Li Shiming was a little surprised. This was not just a formation, but also included some means that he didn't know about.
He looked towards the main island, which was the center of everything. From the faint aura emanating from it, he recognized it as the aura of a half-step great power.
It seems that the Half-Step Great Power has taken action again, but this time he did not attack directly. Instead, he controlled the formation energy of the thirty-six great monks and the thirty-six islands of the Yuzhu Islands, turning it into this peculiar network method, and counterattacked the "Xuanyou Black Gold Beast".
The group of 'Xuanyou Black Gold Beasts' did not retreat because of the fourth-grade poison. By consuming a large number of 'Xuanyou Black Gold Beasts', the fourth-grade poison did not last long.
The group of 'Xuanyou Wujin Beasts' rushed towards the oncoming energy net. No matter whether it was a third-grade or fourth-grade 'Xuanyou Wujin Beast', as long as it came into contact with the energy net, it would be cut into pieces by the energy net.
The dead 'Xuanyou Wujin Beast' turned into corrosive mist, but the corrosive mist could not destroy the energy network.
This is not without cost. Li Shiming felt that his spiritual power was being consumed rapidly, and this consumption speed was comparable to the speed at which he continuously cast range spells.
If he continues to consume energy like this, he won't be able to hold on for much longer.
The group of 'Xuanyou Black Gold Beasts' and the energy network continued to collide with each other, and this lasted for a stick of incense.
Li Shiming felt that he had consumed half of the spiritual power of a Nascent Soul in his body. For most great cultivators, this was already at the spiritual power warning line.
Finally, the group of 'Xuanyou Wujin Beast' may have found that it was impossible to do anything, or the total number of deaths of 'Xuanyou Wujin Beast' reached a number that this group could not accept. In short, the group of 'Xuanyou Wujin Beast' really retreated this time.
The 'Xuanyou Black Gold Beasts' all fell into the sea and retreated from the sea.
Soon, there was no more "Xuanyou Wujin Beast" in the sea area in front of Yuzhu Islands. Only pieces of floating corrosive fog marked the great war that had taken place here.
Just a few breaths after the 'Xuanyou Black Gold Beast' retreated, the energy net also disappeared, ending the consumption of Li Shiming's spiritual power.
Cheers rose from the monks' mouths. Li Shiming didn't know the result of being conquered by the beast tide, so he didn't feel much.
But other monks, including the great monk, all knew how difficult it was to defend against the onslaught of the beast tide.
The Yuzhu Islands are able to occupy this vast sea area, but the resources are not obtained for nothing. It is precisely because of the existence of the Yuzhu Islands that they can withstand the beast tide coming from the deep sea.
Of course, the Yuzhu Islands are only the first line of defense. If the Yuzhu Islands are really captured, there will be a second and third island to block the beast tide.
According to the information obtained by Li Shiming, outlying islands like this one are all inhabited by monks.
As for mortals, they can only live in the area closest to the center of Yundao Sea, where mortals who have no ability to protect themselves can survive.
The thirty-six islands of the Yuzhu Archipelago began to return to their original locations, and these great monks still needed to provide some more spiritual power.
Li Shiming judged that the energy consumed by the Yuzhu Islands this time was extremely huge, and he asked the great monk to provide spiritual power in order to reduce the consumption of stored energy.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the thirty-six islands to return to their original positions, and they no longer needed the spiritual power provided by the great monk.
He could tell from the expression of Great Monk Wu Ding that he did not show much joy, unlike the other monks from the Yuzhu Islands who were excited.
Li Shiming ignored all this and returned to Duiyi Island.
"Friend Li, I have some good wine, let's get together when you are free!"
"Friend Li, thanks to you!"
The great monks living on Duiyi Island greeted Li Shiming one by one, wanting to make friends with him.
This is not surprising. Who wouldn't want to make friends with a powerful swordsman like Li Shiming? With such a friend, you can get a powerful helper in the future when you have problems.
Li Shiming was very familiar with this kind of thing. He nodded to everyone and answered all the invitations perfunctorily.
