  An elder from the Seven Blade Mercenaries slashed his blade cutting off both feet of a Cloudy Ghost Corpse, as he twirled his body revolving like a spinning top dicing the remaining body parts into tiny pieces. Upon finishing off his opponent, the elder ended his martial technique and stood in combat stance once more observing the situation around him.

  Sou! Blaze! A man with spiky red and white hair flashed across the distance giving off the energies of mid-level True Foundation realm practitioner, as his figure beamed across the platform, a red trailing light would follow behind his form. Soon after, bursting into flames that continued to trail towards his now distant figure.

  All low-level True Foundation realm and lower ghostly corpses that were within the pathway of his assault were quickly destroyed unable to survive the blazing flames.

  "Is this really the strength of a True Foundation realm practitioner?" The elder from Seven Blade Mercenaries asked as he looked at this scene in shock.

  Shortly after he noticed some crimson masked individuals at Aura Disciple realm making short work of a True Foundation realm ghostly corpse with a set of strange weapon techniques, as each injury caused by their weapons would burst into flames rendering the ghostly corpse unable to heal.

  "Heh! It looks like I've only become the supporting party. No matter, the sooner these bastards die, the better! Kill!" The elder roared once more, as his seven blades started to float around him as he danced amongst another nearby crowd of ghostly corpses.

  "Men toss the corpses into the strange flames, they are capable of destroying all the ghostly corpses preventing them from healing," An elder from the Rain Sword Sect said as he tossed a ghost corpse into the strange flames, the nearby practitioners hearing him also did the same.

  "What kind of fire is this? Why is it able to do what our Molten Axe Sect's blazing weapons cannot?" A fierce looking man said with confusion on his face as he watched the corpse burn in the fire.

  "Let's not ponder about these things right now! We should kill the enemy as soon as possible, I have a feeling that we haven't seen the enemy’s true strength yet," A beautiful woman from the Bloody Rose Union said as battled nearby with their group.

  "Um. I guess you’re right, these Soul Eater Ghostfiends can’t possibly fall this easily if they came so prepared," A core member from the Molten Axes Sect replied as he continued to press his assault brandishing a large burning battle axe against his enemies.

  The leading elder from the Dark Sky Pavilion who noticed the Feng Clan's movement frowned with a murderous gleam in his eyes, however, it was soon replaced by calm and resolute expression.

  As Fei Tan, Xun Yanshan, Nei Sinian, and Ye Shuye battled in the distance. Fei Tan couldn't help but grow more anxious as he saw this scene. He gathered his ghostly qi as he roared once more while sending the images of Elder Chen and Elder Duan in their minds, "Special Corpses 6 and 9 quickly stop those two from the Feng Clan!"

  As they heard his command, the two Warrior realm corpses that were oppressing both Tang Fei and Old Zhu quickly vanished as they traveled like ghostly shades towards Elder Chen and Elder Duan separately.

  "Cough... whew, if they didn't get called back. I'm afraid that I wouldn't get to see my adorable Goddaughter again," Old Zhu said as he coughed up a mouthful of blood, looking at his body injuries one could tell that he was in a desperate fight.

  Tang Fei was in no better condition as he responded, "This is what happens if you try to battle Warrior realm corpses while only being at the peak of the True Foundation realm, cough! It's a miracle we managed to hold them off for so long..."

  As he finished his statement, he couldn't help but smile as he saw the Feng Clan steamrolling the corpse army along with the various influences and practitioners.

  "We should give our thanks to this Feng Clan when all of this over,” Tang Fei then said with a gaze of appreciation, Old Zhu hearing his words also responded with a smile, "Indeed, we were lucky this time."

  As they spoke, the remaining members of their clans quickly formed a protection formation around both of their forms, as they started to treat their injuries.

  Sou! A beautiful red-haired woman could be seen making her way throughout the platforms, upon seeing the enemy a group of ghostly corpses would rush out to stop her. However, the moment these corpses got within her attack range, the beautiful red-haired woman would lean body forwards turning into multiple afterimages that attacked each of the approaching ghostly corpses.

  BANG! As her fists collided with the bodies of the ghostly corpses, they instantly exploded into multiple pieces of flesh. When they struggled to reform themselves the beautiful woman's eyes would turn golden as small amounts of scarlet red flames would shoot from her hands and destroy parts of the corpses.

  As she saw this scene, Feng Xingyu frowned, "Sigh, my essence-energies are too low since my cultivation is only at the Body Training realm. I need to find a suitable body training cultivation technique that can stimulate both my strength and bloodline."

  She said, as she quickly rushed towards the ward of the Chosen Battle Arena. Upon arriving at the area of the ward, there was a sudden change.

  BOOM! A group of corpses was burnt to cinders in moments as Feng Yunlong appeared before her form, with his hands held behind his back, he spoke puzzledly, "Xingyu? Why have you come? Even though your body's strength can allow you to battle a low-level Warrior realm ghostly corpse. You won't be able to destroy it as you lack the qi to conjure enough sacred flames."

  "It doesn't matter, now we need all the hands we can get. There are two strange corpses that are attacking the barrier, one of them seem to be even more powerful than the other, you won't be able to handle them by yourself even if you use second layer strength," Xingyu said as she looked at the two special corpses that were assaulting the 'Night Shield' ward.

  "Sigh, fine then. You handle the one on the left it is a low-level Warrior realm corpse, I will take the one at the peak of mid-level Warrior realm," Feng Yunlong said as he sighed while pointing towards the two ghostly corpses assaulting the night shield.

  "Great! Let's save Yu'er and the others!" Feng Xingyu said as she vanished turning to a blurry figure that rushed towards the special ghost corpses, Feng Yunlong shook his head and followed after her while spouting, "So impatient!"

  BANG! BANG! The night shield was beginning to grow unstable, as the two powerful Warrior realm special corpses were assaulting the guard spell with every ounce of their powers.

  As they saw this scene, Dai Lin, Xia Rou, Xin Qing and Ye Wang were growing nervous as they could easily imagine the outcome once the corpses broke through the shield.

  "Sigh, it looks like this is where our journey ends. Sister Rou let's pray that our next life is a better one," Ye Wang said with a serene gaze of acceptance.

  "Quit talking nonsense! No one is going to die!" Xia Rou retorted as she was about to use her life essence to give the night shield some more time. However, before she could do this, the situation outside changed.

  Swish! BOOM! Feng Xingyu instantly appeared swiftly launching an attack towards one of the special ghostly corpses.

  As if it was struck by a giant, the ghostly corpse was blasted towards void crashing into the green barrier wall of the formation. However, as it was a Warrior realm corpse, it quickly recovered and rushed towards Feng Xingyu who was also speeding towards it.

  KABOOM! The two collided once more generating shockwaves of energies as their blows connected with each other.

  As these two were fighting the last special corpse shifted its attention towards Feng Yunlong who stood before itself, sensing the threat hidden within Feng Yunlong's body it promptly rushed towards Feng Yunlong unleashing a series of assaults with its corpse qi.

  Seeing this Feng Yunlong sneered, as his eyes turned golden in color and his body quickly transformed to look similar to Feng Yu only his hair remained red, and the markings on his body were less profound. Instantly, the prestige of his peak-le
vel True Foundation realm battle power rose to that of peak mid-level Warrior realm expert.

  His body flashed appeared a few hundred meters away from the ward, as he positioned himself into a brawler stance ready to counter-attack the approaching special corpse assault.

  BOOM! BOOM! As both clashed, the sacred flames and corpse qi mixed amongst each other as they destroyed everything within the surrounding region, eventually the sacred flames brunt away the corpse qi of the Warrior realm corpse leaving it with minor injuries.

  "This will be harder than I thought, as it seems this corpse is approaching late-level Warrior realm," As he said this, the warrior realm corpse quickly recovered and rush towards him with full momentum, he frowned as he channelled his sacred flames and once more clashed with the special corpse.

  "Who? Who are they?" Xia Rou asked as she looked at two powerful individuals battling the ghost corpses, as Ye Wang looked at them with furrowed brows as they looked familiar.

  "I can't believe they were so strong!" exclaimed Xin Qing as she looked at Feng Yunlong and Feng Xingyu in shock.

  Dai Lin seeing this scene sighed in relief as he spoke to the group, "Whew! No need to worry guys, they are members of the Feng Clan. The man fighting is the father of my Young Master and the beautiful red-haired woman is his aunt."

  As they heard this, Xia Rou and Ye Wang became relieved and begun to calmly observe the scene outside of the ward.

  Dai Lin on the other hand upon mentioning Feng Yu moved his vision towards the massive Golden Square that was shrouded by a semi-transparent golden dome.

  The figures of Feng Yu, Zang Xu, and Xiang Shu could be seen fighting a fierce battle to no end.

  Xia Rou who also shifted their visions towards their battle spoke once more, "This Xiang Shu, I wonder what level of Soul Eater Ghost fiend has stolen his body? To be able to use the powers of a 9 Tier Body Training expert to press both Senior Brother Zang and that monstrous Red-Haired Sword Fiend..."

  As her voice ended, the scene within the golden battle square changed.

  Sou! Sou! A scarlet golden light along with a silver ray of light beamed towards a ghostly looking figure, his long white hair with streaks of glowing green light fluttering wildly with the pressure of wind coming from the two assaulting beams.

  "Hmph! Even if I am injured my strength still far surfaces both of your imaginations," As he said this, Xiang Shu stretched both of his arms out to his side as he formed a claw with his fingers as if trying to grasp the air.

  Grip! "Cloudy Ghost Arts: Soul Devouring Skulls!" Xiang Shu roared, as he pushed his ghostly energies into the void creating two large green skulls with red eyes, as these two massive skulls appeared, they opened their mouths and released a savage cry towards the heavens as a strange feeling came over both Zang Xu and Feng Yu.

  "Kre!" As they heard this odd sound, the connection that both Zang Xu and Feng Yu felt with their bodies started to fade as if their souls were about to leave their bodies, feeling stunned, they quickly retreated a distance away from two massive green skulls that hovered by Xiang Shu's side.

  Sou! Sou! Instantly, they appeared at two different corners of the battle platform. Feng Yu looked at the two skulls and frowned as he sent a message to Zang Xu, "These skulls are dangerous! We have to destroy them first, or they will keep interfering with the rhythm of our battle."

  Hearing his words, Zang Xu nodded and replied as he looked at Feng Yu with a serious gaze, "Fine! Leave them to me, I have a move that can suppress both the skulls as well as this Xiang Shu. However, I can only use it for a single moment of time. Once I have used it, I will not be able to fight for a period of time. Thus, I hope you will be able to deal a serious blow with this chance."

  As Feng Yu heard him, he paused for a while before responding, "Ok, leave finishing them off to me. I also have a technique I wanted to try out, while I have never used it before, I believe it should be able to deal a substantial amount of damage."

  "Good! That's all I needed to hear." As Zang Xu finished his statement he switched his attack posture crouching with both of his legs bent, his torso upwards, he gripped his silver spear with both of his hands as he held it in a vertical position.

  Xiang Shu who was now buying time to recover more of his strength looked at the scene with a mocking gaze, he spoke, "Jie! Jie! You, babies, don't know when to quit, do you? Your efforts to resist are futile, kill them!"

  As he said this, the two Soul Devouring Skulls screamed as they were about to rush towards both Zang Xu and Feng Yu. However, there was a change.

  BANG! A terrifying power emerged from Zang Xu's body, as he momentarily gained +2 Battle Prestige. The spear in his hand shook as a blinding silver light shot towards the sky over the heads of Xiang Shu and his two Soul Devouring Skulls.

  "Absolute Spear Arts: Heavenly Oppression Spear!" The voice of Zang Xu resounded throughout the golden square, as three massive silver spears materialized from the sliver energies.

  The spears quickly began to release towering amounts of oppressive energies towards Xiang Shu and his Soul Devouring Skulls. It was an absolute power that rendered them unable to properly move.

  "Damn! How could this baby have so much power left? Move!" He channelled his energies with all of his concentration, trying to quickly recover his ability to move.

  Sadly, Feng Yu who was ready did not give him this chance.

  As if he was lightning itself, Feng Yu instantly appeared within the region of Xiang Shu and his Soul Devouring Skulls. With his two swords gripped firmly in each hand, his aura rose to peak once more, as both his lightning and sacred flame essence-energies danced wildly around his form.

  "Extremity Dual Sword: Path of Balance, Speed, and Eruption - Blazing Thunder Phantom Swords!" As soon as he said this, the power of the world congealed around his form, as he slowly waved his sword in three directions.

  Shing! The cry of the sword rang out loudly, as the illusion of three Feng Yu's appeared turning into 3 streaks of light that shot towards Xiang Shu and his Soul Devouring Skulls.

  It happened in an instant, as the moment the three forms of Feng Yu appeared, they promptly vanished leaving behind the three streaks of light that lingered on the bodies of their targets.

  The two Soul Devouring Skulls roared as they burst into a sea of flames and lightning soon after vanishing from this world, as Xian Shu clutched his chest and screamed out in pain, "Argh-------!"

  As he cried out, his body transformed into a ball of lightning and blazing flames that came from a large deep wound across his chest.

  Thud! Zang Xu fell to his knees as he promptly ended his technique, slowly lifting his head he spoke to Feng Yu while trying to catch his breath, "Haa... haa... I am spent, good... work... Daoist Feng!"

  Fwuap! Feng Yu also collapsed onto the ground as a group of chaotic lightning currents and flames shrouded his body, rendering him in a constant state of pain, "Haha!... Daoist Zang, it looks like we will have to continue our battle another time. As my backlash is far beyond what I previously assumed it would be!"

  "Ha Ha Ha! You...sigh, to think you have the time to ponder about such things even now," Zang Xu said as he laughed.

  While both they were talking the flames and lightning that shrouded Xiang Shu's body soon died down, as brunt electrified figure appeared, he looked at Feng Yu with immense hatred.

  "Damn Humans! You dare to ruin my new vessel! I don't care anymore, even if I cannot go to the central location after destroying the doorway. I will kill everyone here!" As he said this, a spectral shade soon left Xiang Shu's ruined body, which fell to the ground with a small hint of life left.

  This spectral shade was ominous, as it gave an overwhelming power that instantly shrouded all beings within the 100-kilometer radius.

  In the distant sky, Gui Sheng, Gui Mei, and Gui Zi looked on with excitement as they felt this power.

  Gui Sheng looked at the ethereal old man before him and sneered, "Ha Ha Ha Ha! Master has given up on acquiring that which he s
ought, now that he has restored to his normal form no one can survive!"

  As he heard this, a smile came on the face of the old man who spoke, "There you are! Finally, out! I've waited long enough..."

  As he said this, the forms of Gui Sheng, Gui Mei and Gui Zi vanished from existence as the old man took a step forwards fading into nothingness, his voice lingering in the ears of the woman in white.

  "You are Jing Mingyun, right? I know your purpose for coming here, Dragonkin. Quickly activate the door for the battle that is about to unfold is above the scale of everyone here..."

  As his voice faded away, Jing Mingyun finally managed to recover from her emotional shock. She bowed in the direction the ethereal old man vanished and spoke, "Thank you for saving my life, great one!"

  Upon finishing her words, she waved her hands carrying both Jing Er and Jing Yi with her as she headed towards the door that was struggling against the chains from the mass of dark clouds.

  As they felt this power a look of shock came upon all who felt it, however before they could zone in on where the power came from a massive explosion occurred that shook everything as the green barrier dome was transformed into a sea of scarlet flames.

  KABOOM! As these flames faded away, the green barrier formation was instantly destroyed. Looking closely, a man could be seen standing on a blazing disk that floated in the air, his red hair glowing brightly as his body emitted strong fluctuations.

  "The formation has been destroyed! Destroy the corpses!" An elder from the Rain Sword Sect yelled as he recovered from his shock state.

  "Kill---!" The influences practitioners and rogues as they attacked more furiously aiming to end the battle here and now.

  Feng Junling who saw this scene smiled proudly, but after a short while moved his vision towards the formless shade that had emerged from Xiang Shu's body and a wave of shock came over his face when he sensed its powerful fluctuations.
