What took him by surprise the most was that Golden Thunder Island was almost completely breached; only the last Golden Thunder Island remained, besieged by over a million Spirit Beasts.
About a dozen Golden Core True Persons and Demon Kings were in a precarious standoff!
On the contrary, Qian Ji Island, with the use of thousands of Spirit Puppets and support from the Coral Alliance, had only lost six outer islands, retaining half of its territory.
As for the other islands, they too lost some outlying islands to a greater or lesser extent and also encountered Demon Kings, but only one or two each.
Xu Ri Island was the same; relying on the continuous support of True Person Red Leaf and the Red Whale, it had only lost three outer islands.
Heavenly Phenomenon Island, due to scorched earth tactics in the beginning and having slain two Five-colored Demon Kings, was actually the safest and had not been breached!
