Lion Heart's expression was solemn, not daring to relax even a bit. He was quite apprehensive about Lu Ye, because even if he himself took action, he couldn't manage to kill Bao Youyou first and then cut down Hu Guang in such a short time.

Lu Ye did it, regardless of his cultivation level, his capabilities were extremely terrifying; he was definitely an opponent worth going all out against.

Suddenly, a fierce battle erupted, with two figures whirling and blades and fists wreaking havoc. In terms of size, Lu Ye was only as large as one of Lion Heart's arms, but in terms of momentum and strength, the small figure of Lu Ye seemed even greater.

Moreover, Ma Shangsi was stirring up the Blood Sea beside them, constantly looking for opportunities to envelop Lion Heart, making him extremely agitated.

At almost the same moment Lu Ye and his servant engaged Lion Heart, a battle also broke out at the hall where the portal was located.

Countless demon race Constellations arrived there, attacking towards the hall together, because Lion Heart had just given the order to destroy the hall, so they executed without needing to know the reason.

Luan Xiao'e, Yann Miao, and He Baichuan, the three Moon Jade cultivators, leapt forward, and blood light blossomed wherever they passed.

Zixuan demon cultivators, although they formed an array with the As-Close-As-Siblings array disc, even if all formed by the Constellation Late Stage cultivators, the power they could exert barely matched a newly advanced Moon Jade cultivator.

These three Moon Jade cultivators from Three Worlds Island, each was at the Late Stage, especially Luan Xiao'e and Yann Miao, who were hoping to break through to Sun Blaze. Though the Zixuan demon cultivators had formed an array, how could they be their opponents?

But just relying on the three of them obviously couldn't protect the hall. While they were slaughtering the Zixuan demon cultivators, more Zixuan demon cultivators were attacking the hall.

From within the hall, continually came Three Worlds Island cultivators forming arrays to battle the enemy cultivators.

The observing cultivators were already dumbfounded because what they saw before their eyes had exceeded their understanding. It was one thing for Lu Ye alone to enter the hall and for five Moon Jade cultivators to come out together, but now more Constellations were coming out?

Moreover, those Constellations that suddenly emerged seemed to be clearly Three Worlds Island cultivators.

Had they not known the Spirit Island was Zixuan, everyone would have thought this place was the old nest of Three Worlds Island.

The hall was the Array Base Hall, exceptionally sturdy, so it could stand unmoving amidst the dense flurry of attacks from all sides.

However, eventually the hall was breached. Though the Array Base Hall had Formation protection and the Three Worlds Island's Constellations activated the big array as soon as they arrived through the portal, how could they withstand the wild attacks of so many Zixuan demon cultivators?

After the hall was shattered, amidst the ruins, the portal was strikingly eye-catching!

The observing cultivators finally revealed expressions of enlightenment, finally realizing where the Three Worlds Island cultivators had emerged from. Clearly, this portal was the key!

Someone's eyes gleamed as they spoke, "In the battle where Three Worlds Island launched a strong attack on Baiyue, later many Fellow Daoists investigated and even asked the surviving Baiyue cultivators about the specific circumstances of that day. Although many things were clarified, there was still one unsolved mystery!"

Someone else chimed in, "Indeed, it's said in that battle, Three Worlds Island cultivators appeared suddenly within Baiyue, destroyed several array bases, leading to a significant weakening of Baiyue's protective array's power, which they then broke through forcefully. All along, nobody knew how Three Worlds Island cultivators appeared inside Baiyue; this seems to be the reason!"

Clearly Lu Ye possesses a method to open a portal connecting to Three Worlds Island at another Spirit Island, just like what happened today!

The mystery of that Baiyue incident years ago was finally cleared up, but wasn't Lu Ye's speed too fast? He entered the hall, Lion Heart chased in, and within less than ten breaths, he had opened such a portal; what kind of method is this?

No time for pondering, an upheaval occurred again on the Zixuan side!

The hall having been breached, with the portal exposed, Three Worlds Island cultivators' situation became perilous. Because of the short time, the arriving Three Worlds Island cultivators were few in number; though there were three Moon Jade cultivators leading the charge against foes, alleviating immense pressure, there were still many attacks aimed at the hall.

If not suppressed, not to mention whether the portal could withstand, even if it did, Three Worlds Island cultivators emerging from it would suffer.

Crossing the portal, even for a moment, was undoubtedly when cultivators were most vulnerable.

Fortunately, Luan Xiao'e and the others had long prepared for this scenario.

Next to the portal, seven Constellation Late Stage cultivators stood tall, seemingly in random positions, yet holding hidden mysteries. All seven were broad-shouldered and robust with surging blood Qi, all physique cultivators by nature, particularly the one at the center, whose body was largest, a burly figure with exposed chest, an honest appearance.

Holding an As-Close-As-Siblings array disc, he roared suddenly. Instantly, the seven physique cultivators connected their energies, blood Qi intertwined, with faint beast roars echoing out, forming a massive Black Tortoise array.

The As-Close-As-Siblings array disc has been popular across All Phenomena Ocean for many years, and for some common arrays everyone was well familiar. The Black Tortoise array is undoubtedly the most common; five can form it, seven is optimal, upon formation, gains the marvelous power of the Black Tortoise with extremely strong Protective Power.

Except... this suddenly appearing Black Tortoise array seemed somewhat different than what people were familiar with?

The Black Tortoise virtual image formed by this Black Tortoise array was very realistic, even the patterns on its back shell were distinctly visible. The Black Tortoise array inherently possesses strong protection, and this seemingly unique Black Tortoise array appeared even stronger, but no one could say for sure how strong.

Yet it was soon verified.

Because countless attacks fell on the back armor of the Black Tortoise's apparition, they couldn't break this formation immediately, and the portal guarded by it remained stable and unmoving!

"This formation... is so strong!" someone exclaimed, the protective capability of the Black Tortoise Array before them exceeded all expectations.

"Who is at the array eye?" someone asked, although the strength of the formation is closely linked to all the cultivators involved, the one with the leading role is undoubtedly the one at the array eye. The speaker obviously realized that this Black Tortoise Array was different and had a great connection to the cultivator at the array eye.

"This person is called Giant Armor, one of the strongest Constellations on Three Realms Island." The Moon Jade elder, who had some unpleasantness with Mang Dang earlier, suddenly spoke, "Do you all still remember the scene when the Baiyue Great Array was broken years ago?"

Someone showed a reminiscent expression: "It seems that the one that broke the Baiyue Great Array back then was also a Black Tortoise Array!"

That shocking scene, even after many years, still made those who witnessed it feel their emotions surge as they recalled it, because in the common understanding, the Black Tortoise Array was for defense. Who could have imagined that this formation could deliver such a terrifying strike?

The Moon Jade elder said, "Indeed, back then, the Black Tortoise Array was presided over by Giant Armor, assisted by several Moon Jade cultivators from Three Realms Island, resulting in such an earth-shattering strike."

Mang Dang suddenly turned his head to look at him: "Fellow Daoist seems to have quite an understanding of Three Realms Island."

The Moon Jade elder chuckled, "The rise of Three Realms Island is so rapid, it's a model for us all, so naturally, we should learn as much as possible and imitate them, even if just a little."

Mang Dang gazed at him for another moment before turning his head. Just then, an exclamation came from the side: "Something's wrong, Lionheart is in trouble!"

Mang Dang quickly looked towards Lionheart's battlefield, only to see Lionheart engaged fiercely with Lu Ye. Although their cultivation differed by a small realm, Lu Ye clearly had the absolute upper hand on the scene, suppressing Lionheart to the point where he could only defend. This undoubtedly meant one thing - one-on-one, Lionheart was no match for Lu Ye!

Of course, this might have something to do with Ma Shangsi intimidatingly lurking nearby, as this guy manipulated a floating Blood Sea, occasionally sweeping towards Lionheart, forcing him to divide his attention for defense.

This wasn't the key. The key was that during this fierce battle between the two sides, a figure quietly approached from behind Lionheart without a sound.

Mang Dang strained his ocular power to observe and found to his shock that the figure was Lu Ye!

He immediately understood that this was Lu Ye's doppelganger. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Finally, he remembered one thing: Lionheart was lured out by Lu Ye's doppelganger before. After Lionheart returned, the doppelganger disappeared without a trace.

Unexpectedly, it sneaked back at this moment, and judging by its stealthy approach, it was clearly using the Breath-concealing method because Lionheart, who was entangled in combat with Lu Ye's true self, was completely unaware!

Lionheart was about to be in big trouble! Mang Dang had seen with his own eyes the terrifying power of Lu Ye's doppelganger performing the Blood Explosion Technique, a move that had killed Junior Brother Tiger.

Suddenly, there was a surge of soul force within the crowd.

Mang Dang swiftly turned his head, locking onto an unfamiliar Moon Jade, and in a blink, he understood what was happening. He immediately clenched his fists and struck toward that Moon Jade.

The opponent's cultivation wasn't high, only at the Moon Jade mid-stage, and being ambushed by Mang Dang like this, there was no way to dodge!

This punch directly caused that Moon Jade to spit out blood and stagger back, but Mang Dang relentlessly pressed on, his mana surging, raining punches down relentlessly, leaving that Moon Jade defenseless.

"Fellow Daoist, why is this?" The mid-stage Moon Jade shouted as blood spilled from his mouth.

"I just don't like your face!" Mang Dang snorted coldly, catching up and launching several more punches, turning the cultivator into dust.

The surrounding cultivators felt a chill in their hearts.

Mang Dang glanced around coldly, "If you're here to watch, then just watch. Don't do anything that'd get on my nerves."

The Constellations were left puzzled, while the Moon Jade cultivators were well aware.

Though Mang Dang seemed to have unreasonably killed a Moon Jade cultivator, in truth, it was brought upon himself because that guy was trying to communicate with Lionheart, and the sudden surge of soul force was the most obvious evidence.

Mang Dang had a personal connection with Lu Ye, so how could he allow this person to communicate with Lionheart right in front of him? He directly killed to settle the matter!

On the other side, Lionheart, having received a warning, finally sensed the doppelganger of the Talent Tree looming behind him, but he had no good way to deal with it because Lu Ye and his servant had already consumed all his focus.

In desperation, he could only channel his power to protect his back.

The Talent Tree doppelganger launched a kick, sending Lionheart staggering with its immense power, and Lu Ye's true body immediately seized the moment to attack, forcing Lionheart to dodge to the side!

Ma Shangsi, having waited for this moment, had already spread the Blood Sea in that direction almost as soon as the Talent Tree doppelganger launched its kick.
