The darkness descended, and the world grew gloomy.
The dark clouds blanketing the sky started to release clusters of ghostly auras that formed a massive green barrier cage, which covered all beings below the ancient golden door floating above the Chosen Battle Arena.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha!..." a mixture of sinister laughs echoed throughout the region, as beams upon beams of eerie green lights shot from within the dark clouds, quickly surrounding the practitioners and major influences. Looking closely, one would see thousands upon thousands of pale looking corpses inside of each beams of light giving off a ghostly aura.
The surrounded practitioners and influences who saw this scene became filled with fear, as they realized that all paths for escape had been cut off and the auras radiating from the Cloudy Ghostly Corpse Army was above that of standard practitioners.
"Damn! How could this go unnoticed? Where is Fei Tian?! Why haven't I been given any information regarding this scenario? Fei Tan! Where are ---" as Xuan Lie was about to lose his mind, he started to bark towards his subordinates as he searched for his right-hand man. However, his words instantly became halted as a voice came from within the sea of Cloudy Ghostly Corpses before him.
"He He He He! Your Excellency, Fei Tan is here!" as the voice said this, a skinny old figure could be seen making his way from within this sea of ghosts.
As he saw his subordinate a look of rage was on Xuan Lie's face. However, his expression soon became one filled with shock as the skinny old figure before him was pale, his body had strands of death qi and his eyes glowed with the same eerie green light as the gathered ghostly corpses, only, this light was even stronger compared to many of others.
"Fie Tan, what... what's going on here?" Xuan Lie said in a flustered voice as he started the now transformed Fei Tan.
Hearing this Fei Tan smiled eerily as he responded. "Lost your ability to reason? It's simple, I have been reborn into a new being. The Masters had seen my gifts and have blessed me with enlightened transformation. Xuan Lie, if you submit now I may be able to save your life just like I did with your beloved concubine, but the rest of you will be offered as sacrifices."
"What did you do to Yan'er?! " Xuan Lie shouted as he looked at Fei Tan in anger, but before he could do anything there was a commotion.
As the crowd heard Fie Tan's previous words they became filled with anger, as one practitioner rushed out like a ray of light traveling at high speeds leaving weaker practitioners unable to catch his trail.
"Bastard! I'd like to see how you're going to offer us as sacrificed when your dead!" said the blurry figure as he launched an attack with a powerful aura of True Foundation Realm.
Fei Tan sneered as he saw this individual assaulting him, he casually waved his hand and a few special looking corpses among the sea of ghost corpse quickly rushed out and surrounded him.
Bang!
The instant these Cloudy Ghost Corpses surrounded the practitioner, the powerful warrior battle qi of a Warrior Realm erupted from their bodies quickly crushing the True Foundation Realm expert.
"Argh!.." the practitioner cried out as his body was minced to pieces by the warrior battle qi of the Cloudy Ghost Corpses.
After a while, the ten Cloudy Ghostly Corpses made their way towards Fei Tan as they stood in a formation before the thousands of cloudy ghost corpses that now block out the sky. Strands of green chains could be seen on each of these corpses that attached to certain sections of the massive barrier cage.
"Shit! Ten!... Ten Warrior Realm corpses!" a fairly strong rogue practitioner exclaimed in shock as he looked at the ten special corpses that stood beside Fei Tan.
"This isn't good, what to do?" an individual said as he began to panic.
Xun Yanshan frowned as he saw this scene and spoke. "Dammit! Even with all of the influences gathered here, we'd only have a 40% chance. What's happening in Machen Town? Why did the group not send any messages?"
Xuan Lie looked at Fei Tan with anger, as he glanced around at the sea of corpses and then finally resting his gaze on Mistress Xuan Yan, seeing her among the group as an ordinary Cloudy Ghostly Corpse a gleam of sadness shone in his eyes.
"What are you doing? Hurry an kill the humans! Accomplish the task given to you or you will suffer a painful punishment!" Gui Sheng roared as he saw Fei Tan wasting time, his roar carried an oppressive power that shook everyone that was trapped below within the formation barrier.
Fei Tan hearing this had a look of fear in his eyes as he quickly commanded the entire Cloudy Ghostly Corpse Army. "Kill them all!"
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Like a tsunami, the sea of ghostly corpses descended in waves as they rushed towards all of the practitioners. As they saw this scene, each practitioners' eyes became red as they decided to fight an all or nothing battle.
"If we don't fight them now, all that awaits us is death, brothers with me!" said a valiant rogue practitioner as he rushed forwards launching an attack towards the nearest ghostly corpse.
"Kill!" said the remaining practitioners in unison that soon after followed by launching attacks of their own.
KABOOM! Terrifying energy fluctuations rang out as a bloody battle soon followed, the qi of the death began to fill the area as many of the practitioners became new corpses due to the assault, sadly, only a small amount of the ghostly corpses were destroyed due to their terrifying recovery ability or so it seemed...
Instantly, all of the small amount corpses that were broken to pieces glowed in an eerie light that came from the barrier chains connected to their bodies, quickly they floated in the air and started to reconstruct themselves.
The woman in white who was blocked by Gui Trio knitted her brows as she saw this scene, she looked at the two individual beside her and spoke.
"Jing Yi, Jing Er! We have to break that formation bellow quickly attack it together with me!" said the woman in white as she stretched her hand down towards the barrier to attack.
"Yes, Young Lady Mingyun!" replied Jing Yi and Jing Er as they also prepared to assault the barrier, sadly though, they would never be able to get that chance.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
Instantly, Gui Sheng launched an assault towards the woman in white interrupting her, Gui Sheng looked at the woman in white and licked his lips while speaking. "We can't have you interrupting our formation now, can we? Emm. Such a pity, a beauty of your standard has to die today, Mei, Zi, attack those two in white prevent them from reaching the barrier leave this woman to me!"
"He He! Fine! Fine!" said Gui Mei as she spookily assaulted one of the white guards pushing their battle towards a distant location, Gui Zi also followed after with the other white guard pushing him away from the barrier.
"Beauty, now it's just me and you, let's dance!" said Gui Sheng as he channeled his True Soul energies, the powers of the world started to gather around his form causing his ghostly aura to rise sharply.
Swoosh!
Within moments he flew to the distant part of the sky, as the woman in white left with no choice followed after him both standing in the air as if it was the ground beneath their feet.
"Hmph! While your race maybe special unaffected by most means, there are some techniques that no beings can resist." the woman in white snorted as she waved her hands causing the space before her to tremble, quickly a circular runic diagram formed before her that glowed with complex runes and a strange power began to fill air.
"Eternal Fate Wheel!" she said in an indifferent voice as the diagram of runes started to expand reaching a scale of 1000 meters, rays of bright white lights shot from the wheel that beamed towards Gui Sheng causing his ethereal body to congeal into a semi-real form. These rays were strange as they followed now pattern as if they were capable of breaking through all things.
"Fate Dao Truth Strands, how troublesome!" said Gui Sheng as he drew upon the power of his Ghostly Dao to counter-attack, quickly a large green skull covered his entire body which expanded to about the same size of the <Eternal Fate Wheel> before shooting towards the incoming white lights.
BOOM! Following the collision of two Dao's Truth strands, terrifying ripples of energies scattered about a distant area of the sky as clusters of clouds separated away from each other spanning for a few kilometers.
As they sensed the battles occurring far away from them, a feeling of even greater fear came upon the faces of trapped practitioners and major influences.
"Shit! If it continues like this we won't be able to survive, this formation must be destroyed, but how?..." Xun Yanshan said as he looked carefully around at the corpses and barrier, soon he noticed that all of the chains connected to a central section of the barrier that gave off an odd fluctuation when inspected with his spiritual sense.
As he saw this a light gleamed in his eyes as he shouted.
"Break the chains that bind these corpses at the central core of the formation barrier!" Xun Yanshan roared as his powerful warrior battle qi of high-level Warrior Realm erupted from his body, his feet pressed hard against the platform as he lunged towards the sea of corpses displaying a profound set of movement techniques.
Within a few meters of the approaching corpse horde, he then struck his palm out releasing a blast of warrior battle qi that decimated over a hundred different corpses quickly making his way through the gap created as he soared towards the core of the barrier.
The man from the Midnight Temple and the elder from the Southern Revolution Faction seeing his movements also launched attacks of their own, as the man from the Midnight Temple tuned onto a groups of leaves that shredded all corpses along their path and the man from Southern Revolution Faction became shrouded by semi-transparent golden armor radiating invisible might that broke apart all in its path.
The elders from the empire influences and affiliate kingdoms also made their moves, each destroying dozens of corpses as they also rushed towards the barrier core.
Fei Tan seeing this frowned as he commanded the ten Warrior Realms corpses that stood by his side. "The four of you will take down the four Warrior Realm practitioners from those four empire influences" as he said this he pointed towards the leaders of Seven Blade Mercenaries, Blood Rose Union, Dark Sky Pavilion, Rain Sword Sect.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
Promptly, four of the special ghostly corpses transformed into ghostly shades and intercepted those individuals, Fei Tan then looked towards the Tang Clan, Xin Clan, and Western Sheng Imperial Clan as he commanded. "You three! Kill those individuals as well!" following his voice, three more of the cloudy ghost corpse rushed and intercepted their targets.
Finally, he looked at the remaining three corpses with a profound gaze as he spoke softly. "You three will handle that 'task', remember, cannot fail the masters' plans. I will handle the tree high-level Warrior Realm nuisances." as he said this, the final three corpses slowly faded away into the void as they traveled to a different place. He then skimmed his vision over Xuan Lie who was glaring at him as if he was ready to fight the final battle.
"Fei Tan, do you know what you've done?" Xuan Lie said in an icy tone, his powerful low-level Warrior Realm battle qi erupted from his body.
"What's their not to do? I simply took the better bargain and have gained considerable benefits, as for you.." as Fei Tan said this, his powerful warrior battle qi also erupted shocking Xuan Lie once more.
"You're!--" as Xuan was about to exclaim with surprise, Fei Tan responded. "That's right! I am now peak-level Warrior Realm while I may not be as strong as the masters. I am more powerful than anyone gathered here, as such, I will not be wasting my time battling trash like you. He He He! There are others who can do that! Farewell now, Old King..." as Fei Tan said this, his figure blurred as he moved like a phantom to intercept Xun Yanshan, the man from the Midnight Temple and the Southern Revolution Faction Elder.
"Fei Tan! Even if you became a god I will still be the one to kill you!" as he said this he rushed after Fei Tan's form at maximum speed, a pity, however, a group of familiar looking individuals suddenly blocked his path.
As he saw these individuals Xuan Lie's eyes widened with disbelief...
The dark clouds blanketing the sky started to release clusters of ghostly auras that formed a massive green barrier cage, which covered all beings below the ancient golden door floating above the Chosen Battle Arena.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha!..." a mixture of sinister laughs echoed throughout the region, as beams upon beams of eerie green lights shot from within the dark clouds, quickly surrounding the practitioners and major influences.
