Hou Niao used the Earth Escape Skill, exploring in the darkness for a long time, basically feeling his way around the spherical energy barrier. Relying on his familiarity with Primordial Magnetic Power, he had managed not to be discovered by the Sea Clan.

But he hadn't found any flaws in the barrier.

If it's an energy enclosure without flaws, that's quite normal; the energy distribution within the sphere is uniform and abundant, stemming from the forces of nature, and its depth is not something a cultivator of his realm can deal with, even a Nascent Soul Master cannot.

During his underground tunneling, he naturally couldn't hear the conversation of Zhu Daren and Tianfeng, but he could feel the increasingly heavy spiritual pressure outside, as twenty thousand Sea Clan and fifty thousand humans clashed, the collision of energies was intense, felt clearly even underground.

The time was approaching.

He was unsure whether Tianfeng and Hong Xiu's tactics were progressing smoothly, but he was certain they hadn't yet succeeded; that didn't matter, what mattered was what he himself would do?

He found a relatively suitable place, a narrow underground cave with stone walls and water, just the environment he had in mind.

This was a very bold attempt, he didn't know how far he could go, but once he began, he couldn't stop.

He had his own judgment on the external situation, various inexplicable factors, various unclear reasons, various fogs making it difficult to make an accurate assessment of the overall situation, time was insufficient, and indeed his action this time was somewhat hasty, he was well aware of it.

He has his own principles in conducting affairs, just like this conflict with demons and humans, he only needed to grasp the most critical point, which was how to handle the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain!

If handled well, the battle would be secure; if not, all he said would be pointless.

The moment had arrived, regardless of anything else, he sat down in the cave, half of his body submerged in water, relaxed his breath and immersed his mind in the Five Elements.

He would not use brute force to break the Primordial Magnetic Barrier, he had other ideas, a method unique to him.

In such immersion, his consciousness and Dao Realm extended infinitely, sending out his request… Time passed slowly, and some kind of power appeared around him, it was two faint yet very clear forces...

Earth Spirit Pearl, Water Spirit Pearl.

Two Five Elements Treasures responded to his call, gradually taking shape beside him; they were omnipresent as long as there was earth, as long as there was water;

Before the Heaven Creation of Jinxiu Continent, these two Beads had long been connected to Jinxiu Continent, no longer confined to a specific location, they might be in the underground Dark River of Kneecap Desert, possibly in the vast mountains of Yaoguang Mountain Range, but they could also appear anywhere in Jinxiu Continent as long as there were mountains and water, they would respond to the demands of an old friend who complied with the laws of nature.

For instance, aiding their companion the Golden Spirit Pearl not to undertake an unnatural act against the laws of nature?

Earth gives birth to Gold, Gold gives birth to Water...

He brought along the upstream and downstream of the Golden Spirit Pearl, still afraid he couldn't handle this Golden Spirit Pearl? He didn't want to do anything else, just influence it not to perform an action that defies natural laws.

To his request, the Earth Spirit Pearl and Water Spirit Pearl didn't refuse, demonstrating that his idea was effective, what remained was time, to see how to make the Golden Spirit Pearl withdraw from affecting Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain.

Hou Niao's Five Elements perception spread infinitely, leveraging the power of the two Beads, easily penetrating the Primordial Magnetic Barrier, and in his perception, how the Golden Spirit Pearl controlled the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain gradually became clear.

So it was.

…Above the Divine Mountain, twenty thousand Sea Clan formed an enormous, chaotic formation, calling it a formation might be somewhat reluctant, but anyway, it consisted of countless shrimp heads, fish heads, turtle heads, densely packed, layer upon layer.

Little Demons floated a hundred feet above the ground, each with wide-open mouths, spitting out their newly formed Demon Cores, tens of thousands of such Demon Cores covered the two Divine Mountains, resulting in the mountains turning into foggy hills, enshrouded in clouds with drizzling rain.

Close to two thousand Nascent Soul Golden Core Great Demons resided within the water mist, shadowy, drums and gongs sounded, horns long and drawn out; their formations were far more rigorous than those of the Little Demons, advancing in realm, they gained increased wisdom, some self-discipline too, at least knowing this battle would determine the future of the Southwest Continent.

Whether the Water Clan would vanish from Lizhi Sea or the Southwest Continent would be at their disposal.

Seeing the immense array of the Sea Clan in front, human cultivator leaders were inwardly awed as well, such a posture clearly showed that the Sea Clan was thoroughly prepared for the decisive battle, they weren't merely passively responding as imagined.

Master Xiao scrutinized carefully, his brow furrowed, "If this is the decisive battle, it will be a hard-fought struggle, it depends on when the Sea Clan will collapse, we shouldn't rashly charge into battle, instead, gradually dissipating their momentum is wise."

Such remarks stemmed from experience and were the immediate feeling of all human cultivators, it wasn't conservatism, rather two thousand years of human experience from countless fights with Demon Beasts.

Organizational skills, discipline, tight formations, advancing and retreating with rhythm, receiving orders uniformly, these are what human cultivation excels at.

Master Xu looked at Li Chuping, "The time has come, can act now, what are they waiting for? Will really stage the heavenly dumpling show after we engage with the Sea Clan?"

Li Chuping forced a smile, "Uncle Master, please be patient, perhaps they have their own considerations? Or restoring Primordial Magnetic Power requires time? We don't need to hurry or take the initiative in attacking, secure our footing and wait for them to attack, granting Tianfeng ample time."

Master Xu snorted, "That's all we can do."

The formation of humans wasn't overly complex, nor could it be, given their different foundations, the only effective strategy was each adhering to their Daoist Sect formations, which could better cultivate cooperative forces.

However, their plan to stall didn't succeed, the enemy approached amidst the sound of drums and gongs, two enormous cloud clusters floated over, within the clouds, weapons gleamed coldly, complemented by the cries of tens of thousands of Little Demons, their momentum unmatched.

The humans positioned at the forefront belonged to four Daoist sects, Anhe Daoist Sect, Wei Country Taihao, Gaochang Buddhist Sect, Xinye Buddhist Sect, totaling two thousand cultivators, genuine Daoist Sect and Buddhist Sect practitioners well-versed in formations, coordinating seamlessly.

As the cloud clusters neared, within the mist, the faces of the Sea Demons appeared ferocious, they seemed excited,

Then, from outside the city walls, at the first spear's throw, followed by countless scrap iron pieces, even though the majority lacked impact when reaching human formations.

Marching troops don't fight like this, only entering the range of power will cause damage, clearly, the Sea Clan might have learned formations, but they were far from mastering the essence of tactical warfare.

One of the Masters chuckled, "To mimic a tiger unsuccessfully resembles a dog, who taught the Sea Clan this warfare tactic? Not very professional, huh."
