Chapter 169: Scorching Sun Flying Boat
y leaving the radius of the Demon Cave for a short while to receive some intelligence — Zhao Xuanyang had said he needed to complete the escort mission under the pursuit of a contemporary true person,...The five sea-nests of the Hai Clan in the Dingwei region, nearly emptied out.
Five armies swept through the field, driving all active Human cultivators back to their floating islands.
Bai Xiang Wang was even more relentless, personally taking the lead as a vanguard. He didn't even give those fleeing cultivators a chance to send a message, blocking them at the front and back before Ding Wei Floating Island.
At this time, the vast army surrounded the island, a dark and oppressive mass that blocked out all light from the sky above.
Human cultivators are accustomed to forming armies in formations, and the Sea Clan also has their own formations.
The Hai Clan has always relied on the strength of individuals to survive in the harsh environment of the vast ocean. Facing terrifying crises, they often find that unity is less effective than separation and lack the conditions for forming large-scale armies. Hai Clan warriors generally form squads as their battle formations.
After the War of Mysticism entered a stalemate, this situation gradually began to change.
The early large-scale military formations of the Sea Clan were all modeled after those of the Human Clan. In the eyes of masters of the Human Clan's martial arts, they might have seemed crude and unrefined. However, over many years of warfare in the Myriad Realms, the Sea Clan's military formation system has also undergone rapid development. It has gradually formed its own unique advantages.
Now, five armies of the sea tribe are divided into five formations. Above each formation, their Qi condenses, forming ghostly apparitions. They resemble raging dragons, ferocious jackals, eight-armed kraken, and ghostly fish hawks. The formation closest to King Bai Xiang is where the fierce and savage White Elephant resides.
Compared to the ingenious and sophisticated formations of the human army, the Sea Race's army formations appear more savage and ferocious.
The earth-shattering boom that just shook the entire island was the White Elephant Army's Soul Shadow, commanded by their long trunks, smashing against the Floating Island barrier. It almost made the whole island tremble.

Human cultivators defend the islands for several reasons. On one hand, the floating islands are already equipped with defensive formations that can help the defenders conserve their strength.
On the other hand, as mentioned before, both floating islands and marine nests require a large amount of Mist Crystals to construct. Whether humans return to floating islands or sea races return to marine nests, they can eliminate the effects of the Mist Realm's distortion. The principle behind this elimination of distortion is actually because the environment of the floating islands is almost equivalent to a miniature version of the present world.
As a sea race already accustomed to the vast ocean, entering the mortal realm naturally faces restrictions and a weakening of power. Just like humans entering the sea face suppression as well.

This kind of "suppression" turned the floating islands and sea nests into fortresses on the Mist Realm, thus having a crucial impact.
Therefore, in those areas where power is unbalanced, a lone party can rely on floating islands or sea nests for defense, preventing easy expulsion.
At this time, the Sea Clan army formed a battle formation and relentlessly bombarded the island-protecting light curtain.
The Floating Island cultivators also formed battle formations, under unified command, to reinforce the protective barrier of the island's light and inject it with power.
The Protector Island Formation has its limits and cannot be sustained indefinitely. However, keeping the Floating Island of Ding afloat for a longer period drains more of the Sea Race's strength, creating an opportunity for decisive combat later on.
Though Bai Xiangwang appeared furious and eager to attack, his actual offensive was remarkably steady. He always kept three armies in reserve, ready to pounce, with only two attacking at any given time.
...neither leaving any room for the island-protecting formation of Dingwei Floating Island to be repaired nor any space for a counterattack.
At the same time, he continued to attack Ding Jingshan's heart: "Ding Jingshan. It seems your great formation is about to collapse. How many people have bled and died to preserve this floating island Because of your momentary lapse in judgment, it's about to be destroyed today. This king feels heartbroken! Is it worth sacrificing everything for a trivial cultivator"
In the midst of incessant bombardment, his words carried even more weight.
“Because of our existence, the human race only truly exists in the Dingwei region. All these years, I haven't considered whether it's worth it. I only consider how much it will cost you.”
Ding Jingshan also tried to undermine his opponent's morale: "To give Xue Wang an explanation, cripple your direct forces. Even if the Dingwei area completely belongs to the Hai Clan, who will bring the army to take over Have you ever thought about it, is what you pay worth it"
Bai Xiang Wang smiled and said, “What you say makes sense. So, hand over that child, and I will immediately withdraw my troops. Both sides will be spared any further hardship, wouldn't that be a win-win situation”

Ding Jingshan also smiled and said, "You are all saying that he is a child. With your age, bullying him is not appropriate! Why not let him go this time Let him get closer to you in the future, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds"

The two core figures of the Human and Marine races, the highest authorities in the Dingwei region, were actually chatting casually during the midst of a great war. But their lighthearted conversation did nothing to slow down the battle one bit.
You are so stubborn.
"You're the one who never learns."
“If my troops were truly to suffer heavy casualties for the sake of an ordinary cultivator, it wouldn't be worth it.” Bai Xiang Wang raised his right hand, gesturing forward. “I'm just afraid you can't do it!”
The Hai Clan army formation instantly shifted, leaving only one on standby. The remaining four formations began to take turns attacking, with the frequency and intensity of their attacks suddenly increasing!
Ding Jingshan said nothing, and had his men adjust the defenses on the island.
At that time, five powerful fleets of sea tribes formed an army outside the floating island, launching a frenzied attack on it with the terrifying specters of giant beasts' spirits.
There were continuous deafening booms.
And upon the floating island, human cultivators formed small formations, taking control of each node in the protective barrier array to strengthen their defenses. Continuously, cultivators exhausted their Dao essence and stepped down, immediately replaced by others.

A thin veil of light, it seemed, became the dividing line between humans and sea creatures, separating them from the brink of death.
Everyone knows that when it breaks, it is the most brutal moment of this war.
"Open the armory and bring out all the Scorching Sun Cruisers! Mount the Star-shattering Crossbow!" Ding Jingshan suddenly shouted.
The Broken Star Crossbow is a unique weapon exclusive to the Yanggu Valley. Its crafting method has been passed down from the Yang Kingdom era and has been improved over generations. It uses essence stones as its energy source, making it incredibly powerful; a single shot is comparable to the full force of four Realm Exterior experts striking at once.

It's a real killer weapon.
Please provide me with the text you would like me to translate. I can help with that!
And the fiery sun-boat, a formidable weapon of the Imperial Army, ferried between the mortal realm and the Spirit Realm for Day Valley and its affiliated forces.

This boat, along with the Fishing Dragon Boat of Diling Tower and the Thorny Boat of Jue Ming Island, is known as one of the three great boats. It is said to have the power of the sun and can burn anything - of course, this is an exaggeration. But when the Burning Sun Flying Boat is activated, it's not difficult to kill several admiral-level sea creatures.
This is a placeholder for an HTML paragraph tag.
To deal with this level of sea monster army, other weapons are useless. You need something as good as this hidden treasure.
But with both the burning sun chariot and the star-shattering crossbow drawn, it meant that Ding Jingshan was prepared to go all out, leaving no room for compromise.
Bai Xiang Wang raised his right hand again, his five fingers slowly clenched into a fist!
At present, within the five military formations, there are sea tribe warriors riding giant white elephant-shaped sea beasts. Before each formation, three giant white elephant sea beasts are lined up.
This white elephant sea beast was different from ordinary sea beasts. From its breath, each one possessed the combat strength of a nearly supreme-level sea race. To know, ordinary sea beasts that roamed the wilds were usually at the level below the Tenglong Realm.
Their appearance also matched the name of the White Elephant King, further indicating their extraordinary nature.
But behold, fifteen white sea elephants raised their long trunks and let out the bellow of an ox.
