Gu Xi finally started to lift the light barrier!

With firm tone, the latter said, "Get ready!"

Then, the giant light meditating monk dim more along with the light dome that covers their whole area.

Different expression rose from everyone's faces.

The Cold Jade Palace disciples turns more solemn as they clutch their ice sword more tightly. The area around them were already forming frost.

The faces of every disciples from Nine Yang Sect looks battle ready as they carry their different massive and 'manly' weapons. Their body were releasing a heat wave which makes the area around them hot and fiery.

There were not any changes that could be seen at the faces of monks behind Gu Xi. Only, their body now turn metallic and their body turns into their own armor.

The disciples of Five Element Sect gather below Shelly, also clutching their own respective weapons, ranging from sharp swords to thory vine whips and many others.

Lilia also hop out of Shelly's back as she group herself with them.

Among the group of Five Element Sect, Lilia actually looks like the most weakest out of them as she didn't even have weapon in her body. However, contrary to one could expect base on how she look, Lilia was actually the most cruel and demented of them all, if not the most powerful.

Her Master was Grand Elder Caira and she practice Alchemy, which makes her superior to fire type attacks and control. Furthermore, she had a natal Gu that drills into enemy's bones and ate their marrow!

Even with powerful body of cultivators, partnered with their fast physical recovery, bone marrow is still hard to recover. Not to say the said Gu devours marrow like a massive whale. Unless the victim is ruthlesss and could sever his own body and cut the part where the Gu was, their outcome is only one–death!

Of course, this was only effective to specific cultivators. For instance, should the Gu targets the disciples of Nine Yang Sect, it will be incinerated just by the heat inside their body.

On the other hand, the faces of the demonic disciples were confused for a second due to sudden dimming of light barrier and felt that it considerably turn weaker.

But after they recover, they all smile sadistically as they rejoice inside their head.

The light barrier was without a doubt very powerful, after all, it was casted as the spell from Divine-Rank Equipment Golden Lotus Throne. They could break it should they wanted to but they would be left being exhausted! Their trump cards might be revealed too!

That was why they choose to grind the barrier instead of breaking it immediately.

And now that they lift the barrier themselves, they will be able to kill them all!

Its no wonder they distribute spiritual stones but just how they could recover in just a minute? They're definitely still low on spiritual energy until now!

In addition, they also call their team leaders! Just Little Cult Master is enough to secure their victory! There were also that Master Puppeteer and Immortal Demon!

The longer the smart demonic disciples think, the more they smile inside and outside.

"Tell the others to get ready! Those fools are lifting their barrier any second now!" Exclaimed loudly of the one who summon the seductive corpse puppet that was currently battling Shiela. He even take the chance to taunt the opponents fearing that the others change their mind about lifting the headache of the barrier!

The other disciples might not be smart but they could still tell that the flow of the battlefield is shifting the moment the barrier dim. They all look at the cowards disciples hiding inside the barrier, look at them with mocking gaze as they smirk.

They all agitate the persons inside the barrier!

Meanwhile, the second in command of Poltergeist Cult did the same when her gaze fall on the phantom bell in the sky. She look for the caster before she found where is Bell is floating.

Then, she immediately inform her fellow ally from Poltergeist Cult, "Focus your attacks to that pest first!"

The sound attacks already fall some of their number. Now, only those with powerful mental strength can disregard it like her but it proved to be hateful now as it still cause damage from time to time. The sound could even heal the other side while damaging them!

But they didn't know was that Bell deliberately weaken her sound ability and only produced effects equivalent to Peak Tier-4 and not her actual Tier-5 strength! She also don't use her [Concept] yet too!

Otherwise, many of them won't just recieve a slight headache but their heads might even explode!

Of course, they didn't know any of this. They were currently being drunk to the fact that the barrier was being lifted on their own accord.

They can't help but think that Cole was the spy planted by the Poltergeist Cult since the latter could command ghost just the same as them... Perhaps he already planted a powerful ghost to Gu Xi and had absolute control over him!

Only, that one did a very sloppy job as a spy!

When the light looks very dim that it was no longer, the second-in-command of Corpse Refining Sect exclaimed, "Break the remaining barrier!"

"Break it!"

"Kill them!"

"We're not giving you any mercy, fools!"

Different voices was heard in the side of demonic sect disciples while the Corpse Refining Sect decided to probe using their corpse puppet first!

There were only a very negligible distance between the two sides. The moment the light barrier vanished, both the zombies on the ground and ghosts floating in the air immediately attack who's near them.

Of course, the righteous path disciples don't want to be defeated by their enemies. Immediately, different shouts that could raise unity and moral can be heard on thwie side, and it was the Nine Yang Sect had the loudest cheer!

"Revenge!"

"For justice!"

"Its time to clean you all from this world!"

Then, what follows was the sound produced by their ability, sword clashing, flesh being cutted, horrifying cry of both the corpse puppet and malicious ghosts, and many more.

It was war and they were in the battlefield!

In the view of the spectators, like Cole and Gu Xi who doesn't create their mobe yet, it could be seen in the short period of time who had the advantage between the two side and sadly, it was those demonic disciples.

The moving corpse literally don't have any fear and the one who control them won't feel any regret should the puppet was thoroughly destroyed as they could create another one if they wanted to.

Different from weapon and equipment, corpse puppet only needs one major ingredient and that is a corpse. And it was also dependent on the former strength of the corpse the puppets' strength would have.

In their vocabulary, one corpse puppet in exchange of life of their enemy is already a great bargain.

Furthermore, the injury cause by the corpse puppet was more deadly than the cut from sword.

The corpse puppet can afford to lose their limbs but not the righteous path cultivators.

The ghosts, on the other hand, was no means inferior to corpse puppet. Its ability to cause physical injury might truly be inferior but it had the ability to deal mental and soul damage.

The disciples of Blood Demon's Creed was also very powerful. They could conjure deadly weapons crafted with fresh blood and they could also disrupt casting of techniques and abilities by controlling the blood in the human's bloodstream.

Fortunately, the righteous cultivators had their own advantage too.

Normal swords won't had or had very minimal effect to the ghost but the massive swords imbued with fire-energy used by the Nine Yang Sect could slice ghost as though they were tofu.

Cold Jade Palace disciples freeze the corpse puppet first before they will slice and dice the latter with their strangely sharp ice sword. Their graceful movements were not for a show but it was actually a footwork technique cultivated by most of the disciples of the said palace.

The monks from Golden Perseverance Temple proved themselves as tanks in their own rights. Whether the attacks of corpse puppet or strange ability of ghost, they couldn't manage to pierce or even damage their powerful and sturdy flesh! In fact, every hit on those monks would even produce a metal clashing sound!

Corpse puppet only had one result should they fall under the hands of those solemn monks–being dismembered to countless pieces or having their heads squashed like a pumpkin!

Pity that most of them can't damage much less kill a ghost as their own method limits them. They need to chant some sutras first before they could deal damage to those ghosts, which was not ideal since they could be killed in that short amount of time.

The disciples of Five Element Sect attack with powerful elemental attacks. Scorching fireballs, sharp water and metal, heavy earth and vine forest. The visual effects of their side defeat the others!

Ryan, the team leader of Five Element Sect, actually had a affinity with Water. His swords was now laced with Water-Energy that suprisingly produced a very sharp attack.

It seems that the path Ricky was treading too was the same as that.

Onthe other side, Lilia target those disciples of Blood Demon's Creed. When the target wasn't looking, a crimson red maggot will flew into the air and submerged into the blood being controlled and drills through their body from there. Then, the Gu would start to strike from the inside of the body, devouring the target's bone marrow and piercing the internal organs after.

Even the superior blood control of Blood Demon's Creed disciples, they almost can't do nothing once the pesky creature enter inside their system.

Besides, they can't wreak havoc inside their own body in fear of dealing unrecoverable damage that could even sever their path in cultivation.

Despite seeing that the righteous path disciples was in disadvantage, Cole still feel happy since the said disadvantage was just small. His army of pets wasn't included in the skirmish yet so when they did, he knew that the scales would side with them.

After some time, Cole decided that it was the time to join the riot!

After all, he didn't forget the mission that could help the recovery of damaged origin Messiah Tree!

"Those with heavy injury, retreat!" He first shouted as he also send a command through their soul contracts, "Attack!"

Cole had already made some reputation on the others so when they heard what he shouted, those who knew that they won't be able to help any longer but would become a burden instead immediately retreated to the back.

The remaining righteous path cultivators thought that they have to battle more people, or puppets and ghost on that matter, but much to their surprise, reinforcements replaced their side!

Furthermore, the reinforcements was more powerful that they thought!

The moment that the injured retreated, a breath of fire attacks the corpse puppet! The said corpse puppet only flail for few seconds before its brain turn to ash and finally die!

"Roaoorr~~" After Coal burn a corpse puppet to ashes which served as his entrance, he released a surprising no-less than dragonic cry to announce his arrival.

Then, after flashing his sharp teeth, he launched himself forward while breathing fire once again!

The nearest enemy to Coal was a ghost that cooperates with the corpse puppet he just killed and the target of his next attack was no other than it!

But surprisingly, when the said ghost felt the high temperature fire breath, it immediately utters a sharp cry and materialize a massive claw made from ghastly black smoke!

"Skreeaaa!!!"

And the said ghost immediately use its unpredictable ghost movement and flee from Coal's range of attack.

Coal immediately look for his next target and he spotted a corpse puppet near him again. However, the said corpse puppet was not just one but actually two.

The one who's battling the said two corpse puppet was a two disciples from Cold Jade Palace but the situation of two was not very ideal. There were already various degree of injury inflicted to the two, which was mostly a scratch cause by the dead sharp nails of corpse puppets.

Unfortunately, one of them was missing a piece of flesh from her left arm which was clearly cause by the bite of the corpse puppet.

The faces of the two ladies already turn pale as the areas near the injuries was turning black and rotting. It was the effect of Corpse-Energy that corrupt the life energy from their flesh.

The reason why the two can still continue was that there were already blocks of ice on the body of the corpse puppet which hinders the two's movements.

The said two ladies immediately felt being saved after Coal arrived and intercepts the two corpse puppet. If the battle last for more second, they could tell that they won't be able to last and would probably be killed.

The two gave Coal a meaningful glance before they reatreated to the back and receive treatment from Pis-ces.

While the two was retreating, they can't help but mutter inside their head, 'We're actually saved by a mere Earth-Rank Beast!'

At the same time, his other pets made their move too!

First, the powerful aura of certified Tier-5 Beast was released by Poison Cloud Lion and follows with it's majestic lion roar!

"Rooar!!"

[Envenom Lion's Roar]!
