Chapter 406: Forbidden Army Island, Demon King Emerges Together (Two in One for Monthly Pass)
```
The sea, once as azure as the sky, now cast heavy with beastly shadows, turbulent and unending.
Many cultivators started to feel a tingling of dread, especially at this moment, for even from such a distance, they witnessed countless dark shapes in the waters and endless flying demonic beasts in the sky, with no end in sight.
Even though cultivators can read at a glance and never forget, they could only feel that the number of demonic beasts was as infinite as the ocean, impossible to ascertain.
Indeed, what filled their hearts was more fear than courage.
Upon witnessing this sight, some cultivators from Heavenly Phenomenon Island were already thinking of retreating.
They began to target the Fourth Rank Spirit Boats and those of the Third Rank.
Even the cultivators of the Lin Family had heavy looks in their eyes, as these young cultivators had never seen such a vast scene before.
Even though a beast tide had hit the Lin Family a few days ago, its scale paled in comparison to what they saw now!
Lin Shiming also started to worry.
This Fifth Rank Spirit Boat was not the same as a Fifth Rank War Treasure Ship, and with no islands beneath them, if they become targets in the sky, surrounded by the demonic beasts, this demon-hunting army might end up being the hunted by the beasts.
By then, perhaps only the Xu Ri Army would survive, with few others left.
While Lin Shiming pondered, Red Leaf True Person over there suddenly took out a small seal.
The seal was square and small, engraved with an ancient city. Upon her incantation, the seal fell into the ocean. Accompanied by a thunderous rumble, the seal transformed into an island in the blink of an eye.
On that island stood a massive wall, over a hundred feet tall.
The wall, made from a special spiritual material known as Dark Azure Stone was covered with densely packed, tadpole-shaped spirit patterns, which added a forbidding aura to it.
"All cultivators below Purple Mansion, head to the Forbidden Army City on Forbidden Army Island!" Red Leaf True Person commanded coldly.
In the ocean, even Foundation Establishment cultivators would drain their True Yuan if they flew for an extended period, severely affecting their combat strength.
Only Purple Mansion cultivators could rely on their True Yuan to fight even against Purple Mansion Great Demons without being too impacted.
Seeing this magical treasure known as Forbidden Army Island lightened Lin Shiming's heart greatly, for in a critical moment, its role was tremendous.
Meanwhile, the demonic beasts in the distance also noticed the changes, as the sea rose by hundreds of feet, and countless demonic beasts swarmed in.
Each beast was more ferocious than the last.
At this moment, the sound of the hundred-foot tsunamis seemed subdued compared to the roars of those beasts.
All cultivators had no choice but to seal their hearing and communicate through voice transmission.
If not, they wouldn't be able to fight amid the roar of the beasts!
First was the endless swarm of flying demonic beasts pressing down toward Forbidden Army Island, with numerous bird-like Great Demons and Purple Cloud Peng Great Demons in the forefront, which were quickly lured away by the Purple Mansion cultivators brought by Red Leaf True Person.
Lin Shiming and Lin Shijie of the Lin Family were also among them.
At such a time, Lin Shiming, naturally, did not dare to be careless. He spotted a peak Middle Stage Purple Mansion Great Demon and took out four Soul-Suppressing Pagodas, beginning to trap and kill it.
While trapping and killing, he also observed Red Leaf True Person as well as Lin Shijie. Although Lin Shijie was a Sword Cultivator, his opponent was an Early Stage Purple Cloud Peng, a flying Great Demon. With its swift speed, it was difficult for a Sword Cultivator to unleash powerful attacks.
As for the Late Stage and Peak Purple Mansion Great Demons, Lin Shiming planned to leave them to the Xu Ri Army brought by Red Leaf True Person.
The number of flying Purple Mansion Great Demons was thirty to forty. Just then, countless Fourth Rank sea pythons emerged from the sea.
They charged toward the Purple Mansion cultivators.
When Lin Shiming saw this, his eyes suddenly gleamed. These Fourth Rank sea pythons were ideal for the Lin Family's Bloodline Reversion Secret Technique. Some of the sea pythons even had traces of Flood Dragon traits. Though not obvious, the accumulation mattered.
Currently, the Lin Family had many snake eggs, but few Fourth Rank serpent demonic beasts.
So Lin Shiming summoned the Golden Winged Mantis.
While he defended against a Mid-Fourth Rank Great Demon, he ordered the Golden Winged Mantis to continuously launch sneak attacks.
With speed not inferior to a Mid-Purple Mansion flying Great Demon, its five pairs of wings emitted a dazzling Spirit Light.
Coupled with its freezing ability, it was particularly effective against Early Fourth Rank Purple Mansion big pythons.
Additionally, Lin Shiming had the leisure to employ the Soul-Suppressing Pagodas to emit soul-capturing sounds, assisting the Golden Winged Mantis.
Thus making the Golden Winged Mantis' assassinations even smoother.
Of course, besides Lin Shiming's stealthy kills, the two Peak Purple Mansion cultivators from Xu Ri Island also showcased impressive combat prowess. One wielded a giant blade, gathering the intent of the blade and using both Magic Artifact and body cultivation to fight, causing a Peak Purple Mansion Thunder Horned Turtle to roar in anger continuously.
The other was a rare Wood Cultivator who took out many Spirit Vine seeds, continually using them to bind a Peak Fourth Rank Split Wind Bird.
The bird, which was extremely fast, found itself suppressed by the Wood Cultivator with countless rare Spirit Vines.
Observing this made Lin Shiming somewhat envious. With his Thousand Wood Spirit Body, using Spirit Vines would be no less powerful than that Wood Cultivator's.
As for the Late Stage Purple Mansion cultivators in the Xu Ri Army, each of them was also quite extraordinary.
Not only were they rich in combat experience, but they also had numerous Magical Treasures.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the Purple Mansion cultivators engaged with the Purple Mansion Great Demons, the hundred-foot tsunamis and countless Second and Third Rank demonic beasts also headed for Forbidden Army Island.
The whole island began to shake, the earth heaving.
However, those tadpole-like spirit patterns on the walls of Forbidden Army City all started to move, forming a layer of black Spirit Pattern protective shield.
It held steadfast.
Countless demonic beasts surged toward the wall, while the cultivators on top began to unleash various spells, Spirit Talismans, and Magic Artifacts, slaying the demonic beasts.
