even third-rank breaking talismans could inflict only minimal damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the third-rank spiritual vein remained intact, spiritual energy would continuously replenish and repair the array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the Alliance did not immediately deploy third-rank breaking talismans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they first weakened the array using the combined strength of their cultivators and warships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they could not break through, they could steadily deplete the Zhao family’s supply of spirit stones to sustain the array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, the array would inevitably reveal a weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the guidance of array specialists, the Alliance’s warships continuously adjusted their attack angles, concentrating firepower on the array’s few vulnerable points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a day later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Golden Serpent Submerged Sea Array’s power had been reduced by five to six tenths compared to its initial state, and more cracks began to appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Target: Yin-Xiang and Gen-Third, fire!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A commanding, youthful voice rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing it, Qin Ming suppressed his aura and concealed himself within the clouds, then extended his spiritual sense to observe covertly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw the scene a mile away, he was startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivator who had just issued the attack order was Mo Lingwei of Qingxiadao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spiritual power fluctuating from her body had clearly reached the early Foundation Establishment realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed she had successfully broken through after obtaining the Foundation Establishment Elixir. Yet now, leading her Mo family clan, her fleet was attacking the Seventy-Two Islands Alliance’s warships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, numerous Zhao family warships had emerged to support her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides Qingxiadao, over a dozen other small and large spiritual islands suddenly emerged from hiding, turning their weapons against the Seventy-Two Islands Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It appeared these families had aligned themselves with the Zhao family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, Qin Ming understood how Mo Lingwei had obtained those two three-hundred-year jade marrow lingzhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just her—likely all these island families had reached some agreement with the Zhao family; now that war had begun, they were irrevocably bound to Zhao’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the skies above the spiritual energy Archipelago erupted with dazzling spells colliding like a brilliant fireworks display.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the moment was ripe, Huo Qianqiu, leader of the Seventy-Two Islands Alliance, standing atop the flagship, withdrew a silver-white talisman radiating astonishing energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This third-rank breaking talisman, acquired at great cost, is finally ready for use,” Huo Qianqiu murmured, stroking the silver talisman as if pained by its expenditure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in an instant, a cold gleam flashed in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lightly tapped the silver talisman and unleashed it toward the third-rank defensive array, now severely depleted of spiritual power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Lingwei and the others turned their heads toward Qianye Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A silver streak instantly vanished into the Golden Serpent Submerged Sea Array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, a quake like mountains collapsing and seas surging erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!
