Chapter 264: Assault on Red Sky Island
The only reason Sea Roar True Monarch would collude with Demon Path cultivators, aside from his desire to prolong his life, Zhao Yu could not think of a second possibility.
A hint of cold light flashed in Zhao Yu's eyes, "Since the Red Charm Demoness and the Scholar with the Head of a Corpse have the audacity to target me, then let's kill those two first! Those people of the Demon Path are all bullies who fear the tough. Three great demon kings dying at once will definitely make them lay low.
Since we're going to war with the Seven Seas Sect, it wouldn't be a bad idea to take their subsidiary sects by surprise and wipe them out!"
Those Demon Path cultivators were all selfish individuals, and most of them were indeed the bullies who feared the tough. They dared not to easily provoke the overlords like the Holy Azure Palace from the Blue Sky Sea's human race, so they chose to target Zhao Yu, who appeared slightly weaker.
Red Sky Island was a Spirit Island with a fourth-order superior Spirit Vein, and its Island Master, the Red Sky Ancestor, was also a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
One day, a dense mass of Spirit Boats flew in from all directions, rapidly surrounding Red Sky Island.
"Dan Ling Sect is pursuing fugitives! All on Red Sky Island are forbidden from entering or leaving at will, or they will be killed without mercy! Lord Zhao Yu of Dan Ling Sect has arrived, come forth to meet him, Island Master of Red Sky Island!"
Fang Shitou's booming voice echoed over Red Sky Island.
"Dan Ling Sect, what are they doing here?"
"What on earth happened? Why would Dan Ling Sect mobilize to this extent?"
".….."
The cultivators on Red Sky Island had their complexions drastically change, a foreboding feeling welling up inside them.
On Red Sky Island, one after another, spiritual nodes opened up, and the island's fourth order low-grade Greenwave Great Array unfolded directly. Read the latest on My Virtual Library Empire
A robust figure clad in a big red Daoist robe, handsome and scholarly in appearance, a middle-aged cultivator flew out from within the array, frowning deeply as he looked directly at Zhao Yu, "I am the Red Sky Ancestor, may I ask what brings Sect Master Zhao to visit this time?
Zhao Yu said, "Red Sky Ancestor, I have heard that you have a concubine named the Red Tassel Fairy. I have matters to inquire about, so please summon her to meet with me!"
The Red Sky Ancestor said coldly, "The Red Tassel Fairy is indeed a concubine of mine and belongs to my inner residence! Just because you say so, Sect Master Zhao, to meet my concubine, is surely too domineering! Even the Palace Master of the Holy Azure Palace and the Sect Master of the Seven Seas Sect do not carry such arrogance!
If I comply just like that, it would tarnish the reputation of my Red Sky Island when word gets out. Sect Master Zhao, I ask that you please leave!"
Zhao Yu replied coldly, "The Red Tassel Fairy is none other than the Demon Path leader, the Red Charm Demoness! By harboring her, Red Sky Ancestor, you are surely colluding with Demon Path cultivators, an enormous sin. Today, I shall act on behalf of heaven to eradicate you demons! Attack! Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"
The White Ghost Emperor sneered viciously, his pupils unveiled a strange Curse Seal. Opening his mouth, he spewed out swathes of pitch-black Ghost Fog that swept toward the Red Sky Ancestor.
Expressionless, the Corpse Emperor of the Ninth Extreme leaped forth, his body mixed with terrifying corpse energy as he pounced toward the Red Sky Ancestor.
The Red Emperor's eyes also flickered with madness and belligerence, as he opened his mouth and spewed a stream of Dragon Flame at the Red Sky Ancestor.
"Sect Master Zhao, you are spouting slander! To strike at Red Sky Island without any cause, this will spread far and wide, and the entire Blue Sky Sea will regard you as an enemy!! The major sects will certainly join forces to destroy your Dan Ling Sect!"
The Red Sky Ancestor's face changed drastically as he instantly took refuge within the Bibo Great Formation below.
The Dragon Flame from the Red Emperor hit the Greenwave Great Array, causing vast amounts of blue mist to rise, nearly burning through the blue barrier.
Hiding within the formation, his face grim, the Red Sky Ancestor held the Prohibition Token, frantically consuming Spirit Stones to operate the Greenwave Great Array to resist the attack of the Red Emperor's Dragon Flame.
"Such a crude use of the fourth order low-grade Greenwave Great Array! But then again, it's expected, you are not a fourth-order Array Master after all!!"
Zhao Yu's gaze was icy as he unleashed the Mountain Great Handprint Divine Skill, creating a hundred-foot long rocky giant hand enveloped in massive Earth Qi, which he thrust viciously into the weak point of the Greenwave Great Array's barrier.
If a top-notch fourth-order array master were here, they would have altered the great array, finding a way to dissolve Zhao Yu's divine skills. But Chi Kong, the Elder Ancestor, did nothing but continually activate the array's power to forcefully withstand Zhao Yu's strike.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Inside the Chi Kong Island, multiple spiritual power nodes burst apart, and the fourth-order Greenwave Great Array was blasted open, creating a massive breach.
"Kill! Follow me and charge in!!"
Lord Luo roared and led the group of cultivators from the Golden Spirit Palace's penal battalion into Chi Kong Island.
The cultivators from the Golden Spirit Palace's penal battalion could only rid themselves of their criminal status and leave the penal battalion if they established enough merit, which would also free their families from the status of criminal citizens and allow them to re-enter the circle of cultivators. Their eyes were bloodshot, filled with a murderous intent, focused solely on earning merit.
"I've found you!! Hahaha!! Chi Kong, the Elder Ancestor, die!!"
Enveloped in Dragon Flame, Chi Emperor locked eyes with Chi Kong, the Elder Ancestor, sneered viciously, leaped forward, and lunged a claw at him.
"You think you can? You're just a spirit beast raised by Zhao Yu! Die!"
Chi Kong, the Elder Ancestor's eyes turned blood-red as he roared and immediately unleashed the magical treasure, the Ghost Water Rope, a product of refinement using over a dozen types of spiritual water as well as Jiao Dragon tendons. It radiated with blue water light and curled towards Chi Emperor.
"Turn to ashes!"
Chi Emperor sneered viciously, grabbing the Ghost Water Rope with his claw. The Dragon Flame, nearly comparable to the True Dragon's Flame, erupted wildly, burning the rope to ashes.
Although water-attribute magical treasures naturally countered fire-attribute divine skills, Chi Emperor's bloodline was second only to the True Dragon's, one of the most formidable bloodlines among the True Spirits. The power of his Dragon Flame far surpassed ordinary fire-element divine skills.
The Ghost Water Rope was engulfed in the Dragon Flame upon Chi Emperor's grasp, instantly turning into a cloud of smoke, its very substance ignited and beginning to crumble inch by inch.
The Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor appeared behind Chi Kong, the Elder Ancestor as if he had teleported, punching fiercely.
Chi Kong, the Elder Ancestor's complexion changed drastically as he immediately brought out a red-colored Spiritual Shield to block behind him.
Clang!
The Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor's punch pierced through the red Spiritual Shield's barrier and struck the shield with a sound of clashing metal.
The red Spiritual Shield shook slightly, and Chi Kong, the Elder Ancestor, instantly felt a drain on his mana.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor's fists kept pounding on the red Spiritual Shield, causing thunderous sounds to burst forth, and Chi Kong, the Elder Ancestor's mana disappeared like water from a breached dam.
Watching the Ghost Water Rope being burnt to nothing, Chi Kong, the Elder Ancestor's heart turned cold as he shouted, "Stop! I surrender! I'll take you to meet Fairy Hong Ying!!"
Zhao Yu said coldly, "It's too late! Chi Kong, the Elder Ancestor, now that the great battle has begun, did you really think this matter could easily be brushed aside? Swallow this Spirit Poison and serve me henceforth or die here and have your direct lineage be eradicated!"
Zhao Yu, having decided to make a move and join the side of the Holy Azure Palace in this great war of the Cultivation World, naturally would not show mercy anymore. This was a life-and-death struggle, and only by rallying all forces to survive could one emerge victorious.
