While Cang Anyu seethed at his sect being destroyed, the people inside the great hall were in fear instead. A few of them had also slipped out and seen the situation of the sects.
To them, something that could destroy the barriers with such ease was certainly not to be taken lightly.
~WHOOSH~ WHOOSH~ WHOOSH~
Ji Shirong, Lian Xiaojian, Patriarch Bing, the Long clan elders as well as all other strong experts among the guests all appeared in the sky.
"That can't be…" Patriarch Bing's voice turned weak upon seeing the large holes in the distance.
Shirong picked up something from Patriarch Bing's tone and was now interested.
"Do you know something more Patriarch Bing?" Shirong questioned.
"Those holes… they are familiar." Patriarch Bing answered.
"Familiar? How!?" Cang Anyu asked, his anger overflowing.
"This has happened several times in the south after all… It's the Calamity Fiend!" Patriarch Bing answered much to everyones shock.
"The Calamity Fiend?!" Cang Anyu had never expected that to be the threat.
"What? How is that possible?" the elders were shocked and confused.
"Yeah, did the Calamity Fiend retreat and go in hiding?" Some of the informed people in said.
"From what I last heard, the King of the Millennium Forest Kingdom sent out his beast army to suppress and repel the Calamity Fiend."
This had become common knowledge at this point since the news about it was being spread intentionally by several powers. They wanted everyone to know the achievements of the Millennium Forest Kingdom and let their reputation grow.
Lian Xiaojian who knew more due to being part of the Lian clan, furrowed his brows.
"The Calamity Fiend was certainly pushed back. After all King Lin Wu is said to have fought it himself before." Lian Xiaojian spoke.
~RUMBLE~
Unfortunately for them, the discussion had to end as the ground shook hard once more.
~BOOM~
Six bone white pillar rose from the ground, parting the soil and collapsing the buildings around it.
~HONG~
The defensive barrier formation let out a humming sound as it blocked the six sharp pillars.
"The core sect barrier can't be broken easily. Even an Immortal Ascension realm cultivator will take a while to get through it." The elders said, but they still felt nervous.
~CRACK~
A cracking sound was heard as the sharp pillars pushed against the barrier. It was like a spear was trying to pierce a shield.
"Enough! Everyone attack!" Cang Anyu ordered, wanting to destroy the pillars before they did anymore damage.
"ATTACK!" the elders all activated their skills.
Some shot forth their spirit weapons, some used Qi skills and rained down fireballs. Some created imprints of various beasts, directly striking the pillars.
~Thud~thud~thud~
~Bang~bang~bang~
Numerous attacks rained down upon the six pillars, but they stood there unyielding. Not even a scratch could be seen on them, and it was as if all the attacks were unless against it.
"AGAIN!" Cang Anyu ordered.
He brought his hands to the side and made several seals. Complex runes formed around him as a green and blue energy swirled around him.
The green and blue energy took the form of a vast sea.
"Immortal Cang Lan Art! Sea of Cang Lan!" the patriarch chanted.
The sound of a surging sea drowned out the trembling earth as the sea transformed from blue green energy rushed towards the six pillars.
It was as if a disastrous flood had happened and threated to drown out all life. The sea slammed against the six pillars, trying to shatter them.
~Ripple~
"It's working!" The elders saw the pressure barrier had eased up.
The six pillars were being forced back from the Sea of Cang Lan.
"You won't be able to do as you please in my sect! You shall pay a great cost for this treachery!" Cang Anyu was no less furious than before.
He poured more spirit Qi into the Sea of Cang Lan, increasing its size.
~Boom~boom~boom~
It was like a sledgehammer striking walls. The six bone white pillars could no longer press against the barrier and were being pushed back. Not just that, but fine cracks could actually be seen growing on the surface.
~CRACK~
As if to answer their wishes, the six bone white pillars actually broke!
~DENG~DENG~DENG~
The six pillars fell to the ground, creating tremors.
~shua~
The core sect barrier stabilized and repaired itself while the six pillars drifted away with the force of the sea.
The guests watching the scene felt a bit relieved.
"Patriarch Cang is truly strong."
"Indeed, the might of a Patriarch cannot be taken lightly."
The guests couldn't help but praise.
~BOOM~
Unfortunately for them, this was merely the start.
"WHAT!?" Cang Anyu turned around and saw an explosion happening at the back.
"It's targeting the other side of the Core Sect barrier!" The elder informed.
~BOOM~
In front of their eyes, pillar after pillar rose, stabbing directly into the barrier. Unlike the last time though, there were twelve pillars.
With the power doubled, the bone white pillars tore though the barrier and finally dispelled it.
"No!" the elders shouted seeing this.
Patriarch Cang Anyu clenched his fists in pure rage. Such damage to the sect was unprecedented and would take a lot of time to repair. Each of the barrier was made from millions upon millions of precious resources after all.
And this was all just material costs. The people that were lost along with the damage could not be replaced after all.
~TREMBLE~
The ground shook again, but this time it was due to the twelve pillars receding.
"DIE!" Cang Anyu sent the Sea of Cang Lan rushing towards the twelve pillars but they had already entered the ground.
The sea entered the holes left behind by the pillars but it wasn't of much use.
A few seconds later, an eerie silence had spread in the sect.
"It… stopped?" They wondered.
Cang Anyu felt his heart drop at that moment and felt something moving underground.
"It's going towards the great hall! Stop it!"
