Chapter 402: Unexpected Outcome
The Sanctuary Master seemed to have gone crazy. His eyes were bloodshot and his breathing had gone totally erratic. It was as if his body was preparing to enter a transformation, or it was preparing to receive energy from an external source.
Pah!
Another mouthful of blood came from inside of him, but this time, it was filled with his essence. He was sacrificing his vitality in order to increase his connection with the formation, creating the perfect conditions for him to assimilate its power.
The blood he spat hovered in the air in front of him, before it started to boil. At the same time, a crazy amount of energy started drawing towards him, in a swift torrential flux. While his blood boiled and evaporated, it kept coming towards him, increasing the quantity and the quality of the energy that run inside his veins.
His body started to contort and expand, changing to accommodate the new power. Many ethereal lines were forming on the surface of his skin, while using the formation as a medium to invade his body and increase his strength.
“AHAHAHA!!! I’ll use this power to rip you to shreds!”
Arwen heard those words that sounded rough, but there didn’t seem to be a change on her expression. However, instead of staying where she was, she turned one with the wind and vanished. It wasn’t her fight, but Lan Xue’s fight.
.....
“I won’t let you escape! You’ll pay for your sins!” As he screamed, his power kept increasing more and more, till a “pop” sound echoed. His energy veins had expanded, breaking their previous bottleneck. The Mana flowing through it was super dense and heavy.
The Sanctuary Master felt the powerful energy fluctuations coming from inside his body and even him couldn’t believe that he had just entered the middle-stage of the Mana Sovereign Realm, something unheard of in the entire Alteria Continent.
However, even though it was unheard of; it was not like there didn’t exist people on that level; it’s just that no one knew about them. Arwen was one of those cases.
“AHAHA!!! With this power, I can do as I wish!” As he exclaimed, the Sanctuary Master raised his head and his eyes happened to look towards the barrier. It was totally covered with a wind elemental energy that blocked his path, but didn’t block his sight.
When he saw what was happening behind that wind storm, he stopped screaming those arrogant and conceited words to stare fixedly towards it. Actually, after seeing that scene, the blood quickly left from his face as it got ultra-pale. His reaction was just as if he had seen a real devil. No... As if he had seen the entire hell, where they resided.
There were huge fissures on the surface of the entire ethereal barrier. The lifeline of his Illusive Ethereal Sanctuary, was covered with thousands of huge cracks and it seemed to be about to collapse. What could have happened, for something like that to occur?
His head couldn’t find an answer for that question; but finding it, wouldn’t be necessary either, since he would discover about it soon. There was an ominous crimson light on the other side, impatient to swallow everything whole; including the territory-wide barrier.
A second later, a bright light blinded his eyes and the loudest sound he had ever heard, echoed through the entire territory. (f)reewebnovel
CRACK!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
The earth started to shake and the air expanded quickly, creating a loud blast. What had really happened though, was that the barrier protecting the Illusive Ethereal Sanctuary territory, had shattered. A big explosion sent its pieces flying towards the distance, devastating part of the illusory forest nearby.
The creatures that lived there felt alarmed and started running away; however, what had made them feel fear, was something other than that explosion. It was the aura of something ominous that awakened deep inside the Illusive Ethereal Sanctuary.
As for the Mana Sovereigns on the outside, when they saw a crimson light covering the whole sky, their hearts trembled in fear. The aura coming from it couldn’t be compared to anything they had ever seen and apart from Lan Xue, who had already entered in contact with a similar aura, the other two couldn’t comprehend it.
If one were to look towards the sky at that moment, they would be able to see that the heavens were trying to open up a portal and send its power down to annihilate the one who was releasing such an unholy energy. But unfortunately for it, it was being suppressed by a crimson tyrannical power.
The tyrannical might of the powers at play, had wreaked havoc inside the whole Illusive Ethereal Sanctuary. Buildings were collapsing, dust was covering the air and destruction was spreading quickly.
People screamed loudly as they run away; a few lucky ones were still alive. They fled from their own territory, trying to get as far away as possible. None of them understood what had happened, but they knew that from a certain point onwards, all there was there, was death.
The shock those people received was so intense, that they had even forgotten about praying for their goddess. It seemed like the unholy aura terrorizing their sanctuary, had deeply affected their minds and souls.
The Sanctuary Master’s body started to tremble uncontrollably. What was happening to him, was not only related to the emotional damage he had received, but related to the formation that was supplying him with energy. Its core had just shattered.
However, even if someone were to tell him that the formation protecting his territory had shattered, he wouldn’t believe it at all. The formation was not something his sect had built, but something the goddess had created herself. He was the only one that could operate it, other than her and he knew how hard it would be, for someone to destroy it.
At that moment, all the power that had accumulated inside his energy veins, started leaving his body and his mutation was getting undone. While he withered like a deflated balloon though, the Sanctuary Master didn’t even have enough time to face the reality of his circumstances, before an ice shard penetrated his heart from the back.
His eyes bulged and a sharp pain took over his entire being. In that moment of utter shock, he had forgotten about Lan Xue, giving her the perfect chance to fatally wound him.
