As two peak existences in the late stage of Nascent Soul realm, Fiery Dragon didn’t underestimate Silas in the slightest.
Therefore, he wanted to try if he could surprise the opponent with a sneak attack and gain an absolute advantage and initiative.
However, although this supreme expert from the Sun Moon Sect had formidable strength, his intelligence was lacking.
Silas had always harbored doubts about them.
Even if the ancient Willis family had set their sights on this island with a Spiritual Vein and wanted to claim it for themselves, they wouldn’t bring someone like Mesosaurus, a minor character, along with them.
At the very least, they would have someone important from the reclusive Willis family leading the way, right?
Thus, Silas, who had harbored suspicions and remained on guard, reacted the moment Fiery Dragon launched his attack.
As the opponent’s twin hammers came forth, Silas instantly produced a thick-backed longsword in his hand and met the hammers head-on with a slash.
“Clang!”
Accompanied by the sound of metal clashing, the attacks of the two Nascent Soul peak powerhouses collided.
The terrifying residual force caused the space to tremble.
Even the surrounding Golden Core experts had their blood and energy shaken by this residual force, some even sustaining minor internal injuries.
“Damn it, who are you people? How dare you cause trouble in the territory of the reclusive Willis family! You seek death!” Silas angrily questioned.
“This island doesn’t belong to your reclusive Willis family either!”
“Kill! Eliminate everyone except our own people!”
Fiery Dragon’s voice carried a strong killing intent as he ordered the Sun Moon Sect’s experts.
The white beard on his chin trembled.
Next, those in the Core Formation realm could only be considered cannon fodder, and the peak battle erupted among those in the Golden Core realm.
In order to avoid accidentally injuring their own people, Fiery Dragon and Silas, the two Nascent Soul peak powerhouses, intentionally distanced themselves from others and engaged in an intense battle.
The four Nascent Soul experts from the Sun Moon Sect sought out the Nascent Soul experts from the reclusive Willis family.
The other Golden Core experts each pursued their own targets.
It is worth mentioning that at the beginning of the battle, the Sun Moon Sect immediately gained the advantage.
Although Fiery Dragon was on par with Silas in terms of cultivation level, the number of Nascent Soul experts on the island, excluding him, was only two.
On the other hand, the Sun Moon Sect had four Nascent Soul powerhouses, including one in the mid-stage!
In terms of high-level combat power, they not only had the numerical advantage but also surpassed the reclusive Willis family in quality.
At this moment, the four Nascent Soul experts from the Sun Moon Sect paired up in twos, engaging in two-on-one battles, forcing the other two Nascent Soul experts from the reclusive Willis family to focus on self-preservation.
In terms of the Golden Core level, the Sun Moon Sect also had the advantage.
Silas might not have expected the battle to erupt so quickly, so he hadn’t gathered all the experts on the island.
As for the Core Formation experts from the reclusive Willis family and others, they were merely cannon fodder in this level of battle.
However, it wasn’t easy for the Sun Moon Sect to directly annihilate the people from the reclusive Willis family.
Everyone was a cultivator of high realms, especially at the Nascent Soul level, making it difficult to kill an opponent of the same realm!
For a while, this chaotic battle became extremely intense and difficult to distinguish.
As time passed, the experts from the reclusive Willis family in various directions on the island gradually arrived.
Although the Sun Moon Sect still had the upper hand, the battle became extremely fierce and casualties were suffered on both sides.
In less than a minute since the outbreak of the battle, the sturdy stone fortress temporarily built by the reclusive Willis family had been reduced to rubble by the aftermath of the battle.
At this moment, facing such a battle, Lachlan discreetly retreated to the outer edge of the battlefield. He secretly pondered! Fiery Dragon had said that everyone on this island, except for their own Sun Moon Sect members, would be killed? Damn! Did that include himself?
Watching the terrifying battlefield where Golden Core experts could fall at any moment, Lachlan had no intention of getting involved. After all, there were eight Nascent Soul experts engaged in the fight. It was possible that even a slight involvement on his part could result in serious injury or death.
If things proceeded without any surprises, the Sun Moon Sect side would likely emerge victorious in the battle. It was just a matter of time. The Willis family probably never imagined that such a formidable and luxurious lineup would arrive to compete for the Spiritual Vein on this remote island in Gravelburg Ocean. A Nascent Soul peak expert, along with two Nascent Soul masters overseeing the operation, should ensure a predictable outcome.
However, in this world, nothing was without risks. The Willis family had underestimated the allure of the Spiritual Vein once it was revealed. Lachlan observed Fiery Dragon and Silas’s battle for a while before silently moving in a different direction.
Along the way, he encountered skilled individuals from the Willis family on the island attacking him, but they were merely “weaklings” at the Core Formation Realm, easily dispatched by Lachlan. Following the concentration of spiritual energy, he swiftly approached the northwest direction of the island. It seemed to be the location of the Spiritual Vein!
On the other side of the story! In the vast sea, the luxurious cruise ship had now approached within dozens of nautical miles of this island. On the deck, Kuroki was accompanied by Shita and a group of Skiola experts, and they could already see the outline of the island in the night.
“This is the island!” exclaimed a Skiola expert beside Kuroki, his eyes sparkling with excitement as he pointed towards the island under the cover of night. This person’s public identity was that of a businessman, but he was also a skilled individual from the Thousand Birds Gate.
It was this man who had discovered the unusual nature of the island when Mesosaurus had previously landed on it, eventually leading to the revelation of this information to the Thousand Birds Gate. Notably, the luxurious cruise ship had now been completely taken over by Kuroki and the Skiola experts. The previous guests on the ship, including Mesosaurus’s subordinates, had either been killed or driven away.
The way Kuroki and his group had taken control of the cruise ship was undeniably brutal. Some lucky individuals had managed to escape using the ship’s speedboats, leaving their fates to chance. The current guests on the luxurious cruise ship were truly unfortunate. While some had merely lost their fortunes before, many had now risked their lives. Gambling had never brought good luck to anyone!
“Hey there!”
“This island will soon belong to us Skiola and will serve as a sect territory for the Thousand Birds Gate.”
“Thousand Birds Gate will continue to grow here, nurturing more skilled individuals.” Kuroki expressed his ambitious plans, brimming with confidence and determination.
However, a moment later, he noticed something. “Huh? What’s that commotion?”
“It seems like there’s a battle on the island?” he wondered. Upon hearing this, Shita and the others listened intently and faintly heard the sounds of fierce fighting coming from the island.
“There’s really a battle going on!”
“It seems quite intense.”
“Could it be that someone is faster than us, trying to seize the island in advance?” The group exchanged words, their expressions showing a hint of concern.
“Hmph! Even if someone is faster, so what?”
“This island is destined to belong to the Thousand Birds Gate.”
“We are all late Divine Realm and late peak experts! Master Kuroki is an undefeated late Core Formationt powerhouse!”
“Even if someone has taken the island ahead of us, what can they do? When we arrive, we will eradicate them!” “Haha…” A Skiola expert spoke arrogantly and proudly.
“Yeah!”
“There seems to be a battle on the island.”
“Once we land, let’s end their fight. We’ll use them all as sacrifices to our Divine Sign God!” Upon hearing this, Kuroki seemed pleased and nodded slightly. Staring at the island from afar, his eyes carried a sharpness and a sense of imminent slaughter. It seemed like he couldn’t wait to set foot on the island, unleash havoc, and display his invincible prowess.
However, Shita, who had a more restrained temperament, advised from the side, “Kuroki, perhaps we shouldn’t rush to interfere with the battle on the island once we land. Let them fight it out, and when they are nearly done, we can step in and finish them off. Our priority should be to find the location of the Spiritual Vein. That’s our main goal!”
Kuroki furrowed his brow, displeased with Shita’s words. However, Shita was known for his wisdom and had been assigned as an advisor when he emerged from the sect. Despite Kuroki’s confidence in his own strength, he often listened to Shita’s counsel.
“Alright! Let’s focus on finding the Spiritual Vein first.”
“Let them fight it out on the island, and we’ll clean up afterward. I believe the most important thing is to locate the Spiritual Vein!”
