Chapter 97

A fierce battle broke out at the Arcane Mountain.

As the two forces flew toward one another with soaring killing intent in their eyes, the thousands of disciples of the Arcane Mountain split off into groups and formed individual battle formations. Their movements were fluid and natural as though they had been training for this moment their entire lives.

The Arcane Mountain has not been idle in these couple hundred years after the last invasion. They have been studying the Graha ceaselessly to find a way to counter their Spectral Physique, which allows them complete immunity to physical attacks.

While the Graha could still be hurt from attacks imbued with True/Astral Essence, its almost impossible to kill them without first removing their spectral form. Thus, this battle formation was created.

The theory behind it was simple, formed of five people, four of them would surround the enemy, dealing as much damage as possible to revert the spectral body to the tangible and that would be when the last person would deal the fatal blow.

As straightforward as this was, it was much more intricate in actual execution. They have to be able to trap their enemy as well as work together in harmony to perform an effective kill before moving on to their next target.

The Great Ancestor watched as the disciples of the Arcane Mountain constructed themselves into groups as they rushed forward.

A mixed expression then appeared on his face.

Dong Zongying had actually consulted him about this battle formation many years ago and he had approved of it as it was somewhat better than trying to fight the Graha in a one-on-one battle, however, deep down he already knew that this method wouldnt achieve the desired result.

The Graha race was one of the four perfect species, of which they were created by their Progenitor, the Ghost. They were, in a word, flawless, to want to kill a Graha, the answer was actually simple, absolute power, crush them with absolute power. That was really the only way to deal with them as anything else was pointless.

Dong Zongying appeared calm on the surface but there was a brewing anger inside her heart.

She tightened her grip and in the next moment, a long thin sword with a light green handle appeared in her hand. She was in no mood to wait any longer.

The Hall Masters, Elders, and the rest of the disciples faces turned serious and they too withdrew their weapons.

Dong Zongying flew high into the air before channeling her True Essence.

Her aura soared to such a terrifying level that it even affected the weather in the surroundings.

Dark clouds rolled in and spiraled as the rain began to heavily pour. Lightning flashed and thunder crackled, the sea beasts in the ocean, who were planning to feast on the lifeless bodies of the disciples of the Arcane Mountain, shuddered and swam far away, leaving the ocean completely void of life.

Her actions instantly drew the attention of Yatong, who was standing on the platform from the other side. He looked at her with solemn eyes and thought,

So shes the current Sect Master of the Arcane Mountain, a Peak Holy realm expert

Yatong didnt personally know who Dong Zongying was since the last time he was here, the Sect Master of the Arcane Mountain was a different person, but he did not dare to take her lightly. Aside from the Extreme realm which is too rare to even be considered, the Peak of the Holy realm is pretty much the limit of the Lower World already. Anyone who could make it to this level in the Lower World was outrageously talented, making even factions in the Upper World want to recruit them at all costs after they ascend.

Humans truly have frightening potential. This new Sect Master shouldnt be more than fifty to seventy years old, yet she has already reached this level. Truly, even though humans are only descendants of that primordial clan and have lost most of the purity in their blood, they cannot be taken lightly.
