Chapter 1315: Spirit Summoning Array

At the center of the chaotic battlefield.

A black fog roughly one hundred zhang in diameter shrouded the area; inside, it was pitch black, with neither sight nor Spirit Sense able to penetrate it.

Originally, this black fog had been calmly shrouding the area, without the slightest ripple.

But at a certain moment.

The black fog suddenly surged violently, as if it were boiling.

Immediately after.

This black fog, which had reached a diameter of one hundred zhang, suddenly contracted sharply, shrinking to less than ten zhang in diameter in the blink of an eye.

Then.

"Boom," it exploded.

In an instant.

Violent power raged forth.

Some Cultivators who were fighting near this area had their expressions change one after another, their figures flashing as they dodged far away.

Whoosh~

The next moment, a figure shot out from the turbulent flow of violent power.

This figure was none other than Mingchen.

At this moment, Mingchen looked somewhat disheveled.

His flowing black hair was a bit messy, and several gaps had appeared in his Magic Treasure robes.

At one of these gaps, a bloody wound was visible on the skin exposed underneath.

Mingchen lowered his head to glance at the wound on his body, his expression turning unsightly.

This Octopus Clan Cultivator is too detestable!

To think he would self-destruct the Ten Thousand Tentacle Demon Domain without any warning, catching him off guard.

Ever since he embarked on the path of cultivation, he had never suffered such a great loss in a battle against a Cultivator of the same level.

"Octopus Clan Cultivators, assemble the Spirit Summoning Array with me."

Just at this moment, Anyou also rushed out from the turbulent flow of violent power.

His condition was very poor, far worse than Mingchen's.

Self-destructing the Ten Thousand Tentacle Demon Domain had not only cost him a massive amount of energy, but his meridians had also suffered significant damage.

His face was pale, and blood was continuously flowing from his mouth and nose.

Hearing Anyou's words, the surrounding Octopus Clan Cultivators abandoned their opponents one after another and gathered toward him without the slightest hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, over a dozen Octopus Clan Cultivators appeared by his side.

Anyou waved his palm.

An Array Disk appeared in the air; the next moment, the array disk seemed to melt, transforming into a patch of Spirit Light that spread outward.

In the blink of an eye, it formed a large Array.

The Array was outlined by strands of Spirit Silk Thread, appearing incredibly clear.

"Enter the Array!"

Anyou gave a low shout, his figure flashing, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared at the central position of the Array.

Those dozen or so Octopus Clan Cultivators followed closely behind, surrounding Anyou and sitting cross-legged at various nodes of the Array.

Everyone circulated their Spiritual Power.

Strands of Spiritual Power surged out from everyone's bodies, running along the patterns of the Array.

Wherever the Spiritual Power passed, the faint Spirit Light on the Array patterns instantly became dazzling.

The speed at which everyone's Spiritual Power circulated within the Array was astonishing.

In the blink of an eye.

Everyone's Spiritual Power formed a cycle within the Array.

In an instant.

A shocking force of the Array erupted.

Anyou interlaced his ten fingers, his hand seals changing rapidly.

Under his manipulation, the powerful force of the Array gathered above his head like wolf smoke, transforming into an octopus pattern in the blink of an eye.

The octopus pattern was initially very illusory, as if a breeze could blow it away.

But under the continuous influx of the Array's power, that illusory form, which seemed as if it could be blown away by the wind, instantly solidified into something resembling a physical entity.

And it was at the very moment the octopus pattern completely solidified that it truly came to life.

The Spirit Summoning Array is the ancestral array of the Octopus Clan.

The so-called spirit summoning is the summoning of the ancestor's power.

It can be performed by a single person, or by gathering the strength of many.

The stronger the power of the one performing the array, the stronger the summoned ancestor phantom will be.

Just like now.

With Anyou gathering over a dozen Octopus Clan Cultivators to perform it jointly, the strength of the Octopus Ancestor Phantom had already surpassed Anyou's peak state, making Mingchen feel a strong sense of crisis.

Whoosh~

Suddenly, the Octopus Ancestor Phantom moved.

Without needing manual control, it seemed to possess a natural combat instinct, spontaneously attacking Mingchen.

A tentacle descended from the sky, fiercely lashing down at Mingchen.

Boom~

The next moment, Mingchen was sent flying by a lash.

The Spiritual Power defense on his body flickered violently a few times before shattering directly, and he opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Although the essence of this Octopus Ancestor Phantom's power is still within the scope of the Integration Stage, its attack power is likely already enough to easily suppress the Dongxu Initial Stage."

"Mingchen is no match for it."

After noticing the intense battle fluctuations here, Wang Jianqiang looked over in this direction.

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Lianyin turned her head to look as well.

Upon noticing Mingchen's predicament, her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

A pair of slender, jade-like fingers landed on the zither strings and plucked them gently.

Bursts of impassioned and stirring zither music spread outward.

Wherever the zither sound passed, a strange power permeated the air.

Every Mermaid Clan Cultivator had their power amplified.

As for the Octopus Clan and Sea Giant Cultivators, not only did they not receive the slightest amplification, they were instead suppressed.

With the strength of one side waning while the other waxed, the momentum of the Mermaid Clan, which had already been completely suppressed, immediately recovered somewhat.

However, facing the absolute numerical superiority of the enemy, they still appeared very fragile.

At any moment, they could fall back into a situation where they could only passively take a beating without the slightest room for resistance.

Seeing this scene.

Lianyin frowned.

She turned her head to look at the Octopus Ancestor Phantom again.

Mingchen was no match for this Octopus Ancestor Phantom, even with the amplification from her zither music, it was not enough.

It would not take long before he would certainly be defeated.

If this dragging on continued, the Mermaid Clan side would soon be completely defeated and destroyed.

The only plan now.

Is to break this Spirit Summoning Array first.

Although this Octopus Ancestor Phantom was strong, she still had some confidence that she could break it.

Once she and Mingchen were freed up, this battle might still have room for a turnaround.

However.

Just as she made her decision, before she could act.

Nearly ten more Octopus Clan Cultivators gathered into the Spirit Summoning Array.

The power of the Spirit Summoning Array was immediately enhanced once again.

The Octopus Ancestor Phantom also became even more formidable.

Boom~

Another tentacle lashed onto Mingchen's body.

Mingchen coughed up a large mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward again.

Seeing this scene.

Lianyin's figure stopped immediately.

If it were before, she still had a chance to break the Octopus Ancestor Phantom.

At this moment, with the increase in the power of the Spirit Summoning Array, she no longer had any certainty.

"This Array is not simple."

"If all the Octopus Clan Cultivators present gather together, the power of the condensed phantom will be very difficult to resist even if you and Mingchen join forces."

"By then, I fear we won't even be able to escape this place."

Wang Jianqiang looked at the Octopus Ancestor Phantom, a look of gravity appearing on his face.

At this moment, more than half of the Octopus Clan Cultivators had not yet managed to shake off their opponents and merge into the Spirit Summoning Array.

Once all the Octopus Clan Cultivators were fully gathered, the power of this Spirit Summoning Array would surely become even more powerful.

This Treasure Land had cultivation restrictions, and Lan Nianbing had already recovered to the Void Refinement Stage, so she could not make a move.

If it reached that point, it would be dangerous.

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's reminder, Lianyin reacted immediately.

She nodded with a grave expression.

Her Spirit Sense swept across, and her voice entered the minds of all the Mermaid Clan Cultivators present.

"Everyone, find an opportunity to break through!"

"If there is a chance, flee; escape from here first, then find a way to regroup."
