  The surrounding experts who barely managed to avoid these attacks seeing this scene were stunned as fear began to fill their hearts.

  "Quickly, run away!" One individual said as he recovered his composure running further away from the beams and door fluctuations. A pity, however, the platform they stood on was too high in the air as was closely located at the edges of the Chosen Battle Platform.

  "What the hell is going on? Who dares to interfere in the Golden Dragon Empires affairs?" Xun Yanshan said as he channelled his powers creating a barrier that covered the entirety of his group members. The other powerful major figures quickly followed and did the same which after a short moment caused the number of casualties within the area to fall.

  A few powerful rogue cultivators quickly grouped together creating a massive barrier that covered all practitioners on their platforms.

  As he saw that the casualties had lessened a sneer could be seen on Xiang Shu's face as he glanced towards the crowd and spoke once more, "Foolish humans! You think by placing up barriers you will be able to survive today's purging. Naive, not only will your struggle to prove futile, each of you will be offered as a sacrifice to rising of my Soul Eater Ghostfiend Clan. Jie Jie Jie Jie! I must have a look to see who will survive today!"

  The moment he finished his statement, a few individuals who were observing the ancient door finally focused their gazes towards him in shock.

  "Soul Eater Ghostfiend Clan! It's actually that clan, how can they still exist?!" An aged practitioner exclaimed with both surprise and an expression of horror.

  "Damn! How could a force like this be here? Remnants of that terrifying Pre-Calamity outside race?!" Xun Yanshan cursed in anger as he looked at Xiang Shu with shock.

  The Midnight Temple man, Southern Revolution Faction’s unknown man, Xuan Lie, Xin Zhu, Tang Lie, and all other Major Influential characters became solemn as the tension in the air became so thick it began to congeal into visible energies.

  On the side of the Feng Clan, was a fiery looking red barrier that covered all members of the clan, Feng Yunlong, Feng Junling, Feng Xingyu and all core members and elders looked at the scene with knitted brows.

  Miren Fei, who was at the side looked at Feng Junling and asked, "Senior, what is this Soul Eater Ghostfiend Clan?"

  Hearing her question Feng Junling responded calmly, "This is a clan from ancient times, said to have been one of the few high-class Fiend Races from the Pre-Calamity Era. It is said that in order to cultivate they would eat the souls of any living creatures the stronger the souls, the faster their growth, but this isn't the most terrifying thing about this clan. Their bodies are elusive and have no real form enabling most attacks incapable of affecting them, because of this, it is said that they are capable of seizing bodies. Thus, enabling themselves to continuously incarnate into new forms repeatedly giving them an almost inexhaustible lifespan."

  As Miren Fei and Lang Kuang heard this, they became stunned as they looked at the floating form of Xiang Shu with fear.

  "This Xiang Shu is he..." As Lang Kuang was inquiring about Xiang Shu, Feng Junling responded.

  "Yes, he is precisely a newly incarnated ghost clan expert, the thing that worries me now though is which class expert he is?" Feng Junling said as he looked at Xiang Shu with deep eyes.

  "Junling, protect the others, I will be retrieving Yu'er from the formation the moment he lets his guard down," Feng Yunlong said as he silently channelled his energy.

  As the woman in white stood on her platform, she couldn't help but frown as the scene with White Mask appeared once more within her thoughts. The words that White Mask said soon quickly resounded within her mind once more.

  "What say you, speaker? Shall you only continue to speak?” As these words ended, a bright light shone instantly changing the scene to that of another.

  It was a divine place, a place that was shrouded with pure, holy energies. There were bright golden clouds that blanketed the world as far as one could see, as a brilliant star shone an apex of heavens towering above the world. It was an unusual star, filled with energies gathered from a myriad of places, streams of runic symbols lit up brightly in this star as if it was continually calculating all things.

  A pillar stood at the center of this world within this sea of clouds, it extended out passing through the heavens reaching the apex of the sky. A woman with a unique aura stood calmly on this pillar with her back turned as she spoke softly.

  "Destiny is what you make it..." As she said this, ripples of energies rang out which covered the woman white's vision as she quickly awakened from her dazed stated and looked towards the door with a firm light in her eyes.

  "Jing Yi, Jing Er, it is time for us to make our moves, we cannot let the fruit of our ancestors fall into hands of other races."

  The woman in white as she turned into a stream of white light that beamed towards the door.

  "Yes, Young Lady Mingyun!" The two individuals in white replied as they stood beside her, quickly they followed her into the air by using artefacts to soar through the air as they flew towards the ancient door in the sky.

  Xiang Shu who had now moved his gaze back towards Feng Yu and Zang Xu was about to act.

  Bang! A terrifying cloudy aura spread out from his form as it pressured both Feng Yu and Zang Xu causing them to grit their teeth’s as they struggled to remain standing.

  "Shit! He is far too powerful, what kind of strength is this?" Feng Yu said as he felt the bones within his body on the verge of being broken, quickly circulated his Nirvana Flame Cultivation Technique to the max as he drew on the power of his bloodline to resist the pressure.

  Zang Xu revolved his secret technique causing a dominating spear aura to cover his form enabling him to resist the pressure.

  "Well! You two are more powerful than I'd originally thought, capable of resisting my energies. A pity, in front of true strength all, is us----" Xiang Shu said in surprise as he looked at both Feng Yu and Zang Xu.

  He was about to continue his statement but was soon distracted as he furrowed his brows, looking towards the 3 light beams soaring towards the ancient door that was being bombarded.

  "Eh? It's this woman again, a True Soul realm expert in this area. Who is she?" Xiang Shu said in shock as he saw her flying along with her guards, the surrounding practitioners and major characters looked at her in surprise.

  "She was this powerful!" Xun Yanshan shouted as he looked at her in shock, Xuan Lie and the others also revealed similar reactions.

  "Damn! No matter who you are I will not allow for any hindrances to my plan, Gui Sheng, Gui Mei, Gui Zi. Attack! Stop that woman and kill the humans immediately!" Xiang Shu said as his voice sounded throughout the region.

  As he spoke, they saw this opportunity, a light flash in both Feng Yu and Zang Xu's eyes as they both turned into a streak of golden red light and silver light separately instantly appearing in front of the distracted Xiang Shu.

  "Extremity Dual Path - Thunder Flash Blazing Swords!" Feng Yu roared as his sword turned into streaks of blazing lightning that slashed towards Xiang Shu's form.

  "Absolute Monarch Spear!" Zang Yu roared as his aura congealed into a giant spear that shot towards Xiang Shu at incredible speeds.

  Xiang Shu who now noticed their attacks was surprised as he responded, "You dare!" As he realized he didn't have enough time to use a more powerful defensive measure, he waved his hands to quickly create a barrier of dark wind essence-energies.

  BOOM! A loud explosion occurred within the battle platform which instantly generated shockwaves that sent all three forms flying into the air at opposite directions. However, as they were each skilled, they quickly recovered by manoeuvring through the air.

  Sou! Sou! Sou!

  Like a ghostly shade, Xiang Shu transported from the few meters in the distant reappearing at his previous location along with Feng Yu and Zang Xu who appeared shortly after. If one were to look closely, they would see that while Xiang Shu's body was severely injured his
wounds began to heal itself at an alarming rate.

  However, the area where Feng Yu's attack collided was unable to properly heal as fogs of nefarious power was slowly being corroded by the lingering lightning and flame essence-energies.

  Zang Xu looked at Xiang Shu with a deep gaze as he spoke, "Such a powerful self-recovery ability, the Soul Eater Ghostfiend Clan is as terrifying as the rumors say indeed."

  Feng Yu who stood beside Zang Xu nodded his head, he looked at the chest area of Xiang Shu and send a voice transmission to Zang Xu, "Un. However, it looks like he is weak to sacred fire, and lightning elemental attacks. Do you have any attacks of this nature in your spear legacy?"

  "I have one more attack, but it is of holy power. I will have to try it and see if it is capable of hindering his healing abilities along with your techniques," Zang Xu replied as he once more hoisted his spear with a sharp gleam in his eyes.

  "Good! Let's go don't give him any more time to recover," Feng Yu said as he quickly channelled his sacred flame energies once more and shot towards Xiang Shu, not wasting any time Zang Xu also turning into a beam of silver light shooting towards Xiang Shu as well.

  "Damn! This weak mortal body, why didn't I take a more powerful body. Its resistance to sacred power and lightning is too low. Shit! If I leave this body to restore to my corporeal form, I will lose the chance to seize this token," As he saw his injuries Xiang Shu was filled with regret, he looked at the two approaching him at full speeds with waves anger, instantly he shouted.

  "You damn humans! How dare you injure me! Prepare to die!” As Xiang Shu said this, his body began to emit powerful ghostly energies quickly he vanished appeared in front of the approaching Feng Yu and Zang Xu as he launched a series of ghostly attacks.

  Massive 'booms' rang out as they battled within the battle arena laying waste to wherever they appeared. However, as they fought amongst themselves the situation outside of the battle arena began to change.

  While Feng Yunlong was about to rush towards the battle arena, the woman in white with her group was about to reach the ancient door. A powerful ghostly aura that could shake world filled the area as three individuals appeared above the chosen battle arena.

  A handsome looking man with blond hair dressed in decorated clothing, with two women that stood by his side one with bride purple hair and a curvaceous body and another with a slender petite form with long black hair. Looking closely, each of their eyes glowed with eerie green light as a dark nefarious smile was worn on each of their faces.

  The woman in white seeing the individuals before her frowned as she thought, "How troublesome! A True Soul Expert and two late-stage Warrior realm Soul Eater Ghost fiends."

  "Hehe! The leader has been careless, to have your mortal form be injured by baby humans!" The purple haired woman named Gui Zi as she giggled while looking towards the injured form of Xiang Shu in the battle arena that was battling fiercely against Feng Yu and Zang Xu.

  The handsome man named Gui Sheng hearing his spoke, "This is no time for idle bantering, wait until after the mission."

  As he said this, he moved his vision towards the woman in white and everyone who stood below them and spoke once more, "Jie Jie! Humans, you should be honored to die within to our master’s Ten Thousand Cloudy Corpse Formation, Formation Activate!"

  The world shook, as terrifying darkness descended once again...

  Chapter 69

  __

  Ten Thousand Cloudy Corpse Formation

  The darkness descended, and the world grew gloomy. The ominous looking clouds that blanketed 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 beam 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 sacrifice when you're dead!" 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 towering 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 relatively 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 Madam 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 and 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!" A valiant rogue practitioner yelled as he rushed forwards launching an attack towards the nearest ghostly corpse.

  "Kill!" The remaining practitioners launched attacks of their own against the common enemy.

  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 was 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 individuals beside her and spoke, "Jing Yi, Jing Er! We have to break that formation below quickly attack it together with me!"

  As she said this, the woman then stretched her hand down towards the barrier to attack.

  "Yes, Young Lady Mingyun!" Jing Yi and Jing Er replied 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? 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!"
