Corrupt Creations

Lan Xue stood up there in the air, gracefully hovering like a goddess, who was about to bestow her cold judgement to the mortals down below.

At that distance, she could not see who and exactly where people down there were, but it didn't matter. Her main objective there, was to drag the Sanctuary Master out by force, nothing else mattered. She knew Seth would certainly protect the girl he came there for, so she unrestrainedly released her powers.

For that motive, she infused her Mana in the atmosphere, creating an immense area that was covered by water and ice, mixed in varying degrees and varying proportions.

Suddenly, a pulse of energy left from Lan Xue's body, initiating an unstoppable chain reaction. One by one, small ice cubes and huge blocks of ice that resembled real mountains; together with tiny drops water and wide torrential streams, started dropping down towards the earth.

"Cascading Blizzard!"

Down there, those innocent citizens who were totally paralyzed in place by the force of Lan Xue's aura, could only stare upwards in utter fear and scream from the top of their lungs, in sheer terror, as the sky suddenly started to drop down on them.

Right at the place where hundreds of Elders were gathered, the loudest thundering sounds ever, could be heard coming from the outside, while entire ceiling started to turn into an ice statue.

Boom!

Abruptly, the Sanctuary Master took flight, completely pulverizing the entire ceiling while passing through it. After feeling the powerful energetic fluctuations on the outside, he knew that he had to act quickly or else, there might be an irreversible damage to the Illusive Ethereal Sanctuary's foundation.

Just as he left, a sound transmission fell inside that entire place, giving the Elders, one single order: "Stay."

It was the Sanctuary Master's voice, ordering them to keep waiting for him, while taking care of the traitors. However, with his quick depart, every single one of those Elders, felt absolutely lost. They were supposed to protect the territory, but the Sanctuary Master didn't even consider ordering them to operate the formation. It was as if they were useless.

Well... They were indeed useless against a Mana Sovereign entity and that's why the Sanctuary Master didn't need any of them, since they wouldn't be able to even block the enemy for a single second.

At the Glazed Lake Sect territory, he had used them as a bait, luring a few Profound Mana Realm Palace Masters out, but now, against an entity as powerful as him, they were just dead weight.

As for operating the formation, he could do it better than all of them and that, was what he was going to do.

While looking towards the sky and spreading his aura to gauge the scope of that blizzard, he realized it would be impossible to generate a powerful technique to perfectly counter every single block of ice coming down, without enough time. But time, was not something he had at that moment, since hundreds of thousands of projectiles were quickly approaching from above.

"Snort!"

However, the Sanctuary Master would not permit anything bad happening to his beloved goddess territory and with a confident snort, he summoned the power from the various formations scattered through his territory.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swish! Swoosh!

Huge blocks of descended on him, blocking even the sun from his view, but the Sanctuary Master didn't faze. All of a suddenly, around his body, a purple fog surged upwards and started to spin. It looked just like a dark purple vortex made out of sand particles, that moved according to his bidding.

The huge iceberg that was coming down just like a comet, collided against that purple vortex and without ceremony, it was swallowed. There wasn't an impact, just the sound of it being absorbed.

The disciples down there, were just able to see their Sanctuary Master's figure appearing high up in the skies and creating a huge purple vortex, that made a gargantuan iceberg completely vanish, as if it was a magic trick.

From down there, they could also see many more of those purple vortexes appearing on other parts of that area and working as a shield. In their eyes, what was previously a white world, had been completely dyed in purple, making them all feel protected.

However, above that purple surface, those two colors were interlocked in a fierce battle.

The Sanctuary Master had to continuously deplete the formation's stored energy, in order to keep up with that endless torrent of attacks.

Swish! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Hundreds and hundreds of attacks were reaching the purple vortexes every second, just to meet an ethereal-like energy, that would suck them to an illusory domain.

Even after many minutes had passed, the scene remained the same, with both Mana Sovereign Realm entities, spamming more and more abilities.

But suddenly, Lan Xue cut the Mana supply of her ability, making it stop. She turned around and bolted towards the horizon, flying quickly in a straight line.

In just a moment, the endless blizzard had subsided and the Sanctuary Master was finally able to see who was the individual that had launched that ingenious attack. She was previously hiding behind that white storm, but now, he could perfectly see her fleeting figure, trying to escape towards the distance.

Instantly, the Sanctuary Master remembered her and who she really was. The scene of his goddess telling him, that Lan Xue also had a tiny bit of their Illusive Ethereal bloodline running through her veins, came to his mind and he realized that the woman that was escaping, would be a huge trouble in the future, if she were to successfully leave.

Thankfully, she hadn't developed enough to be considered a real threat and had also, delivered herself to his doorstep. Even the fact of her being able to stealthily enter their territory, had just become a blessing for him.

Boom!

With a sonic boom, his figure stormed after her, leaving thousands of flabbergasted witnesses behind.

Those people were suddenly relived of all pressure, as both Mana Sovereigns departed from that area. Most of them knelt down while crying, thanking their goddess and the Sanctuary Master, for surviving this ordeal.
