Chapter 1559 Bringing Everyone
Rean and Roan couldn"t do much about it. First, they were indeed weak. Second, as long as whatever was happening stopped, that would be enough for them. In a certain way, their low cultivation level was quite useful.
Havek, who was also in the Void Tempering Realm, joined the twins" protection party, much to Rean"s surprise. "I thought you would want to be at the forefront to see what"s happening."
Havek denied the idea, replying, "Nope. At the moment, I would rather take a backseat. I"m definitely interested in the cause of this phenomenon, but it"s not at the point that I"d risk my life. Remember, I care about my life more than anything else. I will only join the fight if extremely necessary." Well, Havek still told his sect elders to join the vanguard to help.
Eventually, everyone gathered in front of the light pillar before Rean and Roan used their Light and Dark Elements to create two bubbles. They weren"t enough to fit everyone, so only the experts at the Transition Realm and above could come with them. There were still a few hundred of them, though.
After that, they began to move forward, with Clinbay"s group at the very front as they were all in the s.p.a.ce Bending Realm. Of course, they were still nervous, afraid that the twins" ability only worked for themselves.
However, they quickly noticed that the light pillar"s power was really avoiding the twins" bubbles. It was as if it simply didn"t want to hurt such energy that was as pure as itself. Although that didn"t wipe out everyone"s worries, it definitely helped out, seeing that the bubbles worked just fine.
Not long after, Rean and Roan"s group finally pa.s.sed through the light wall separating the inside from the outside, and the light pillar"s energy immediately disappeared. Sure enough, everything inside the light pillar was fully covered in white powder, just as Rean and Roan mentioned.
Immediately, Clinbay and the others took vials full of the lake"s Divine Water and poured them on their bodies. Some even drank it straight away. As mentioned before, this water could cure the transformation, so it probably could stop it as well.
*Roar!*
They didn"t have much time after that, though. The white powder creatures began to take form and pounced at the groups that entered the light pillar"s insides.
"Everyone, attack!"
Clinbay, Lutik, Prom, Rikarf, Wallib, Cesar, and all the other experts immediately took out their weapons and launched a preventive strike. Now that they were closer, their attacks were a lot more powerful than when they tried to protect the twins.
*Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...*
Surprisingly, creatures were destroyed one after another. However, their power was no joke, as they also succeeded in injuring the experts. Back when Rean and Roan fought them, they sacrificed their Nascent Souls, which made them almost as strong as high-level Void Tempering Realm cultivators. However, they still lost in the end. That just went to show how strong the creatures were, especially since their numbers seemed unlimited.
There was a good thing, though. Clinbay"s group was able to destroy the creatures faster than they could take form. After a few minutes of battle, some s.p.a.ce was opened for everyone to move forward.
"Lutik, Prom, tell your elders to keep this place free for us to retreat. I"ll tell a few of mine to stay as well. The rest of us will move forward."
Rean and Roan now had the time to pay attention to the Light Seekers" building in the distance. "Senior Clinbay, we can feel that there"s something like a core of elemental energy at the southwest building. It gives us the same feeling as the white powder"s Divine Energy, which is probably the light pillar"s energy as well."
Clinbay then stopped a little and focused on the energy of the surroundings. Of course, the others also heard the twins" words, so they did the same thing. "Indeed, we can feel that as well, albeit very slightly." That was quite impressive in their opinion since only those in the Void Tempering Realm could really feel that, but the twins did the same with their cultivation.
"Alright, let"s move forward," Lutik wanted to go check it out right away since the creatures wouldn"t stop appearing.
However, Rean and Roan immediately shook their heads, saying, "No, let us head back and bring more cultivators and demon beasts. We need numbers."
They had to admit the twins were right. This was only the first group, but the twins could enter and leave the light pillar anytime they wanted. Naturally, they could bring more fighters. It"s just that some were afraid the twins wouldn"t come back after that. "Only one of you go. The other will stay in case something goes wrong."
The twins could tell what those guys had in mind but didn"t point it out. Rean then looked at Roan and said, "I"ll go there, then. Or you can go if you want."
Roan shook his head, telling him in response, "It doesn"t matter. Just go already."
Rean nodded and immediately jumped back into the light pillar"s light, quickly disappearing inside. As for the cultivators and demon beasts inside, they increased the area of protection and used their own techniques to sweep the white powder away from there.
Around two minutes later, Rean returned, bringing another hundred or so cultivators and demon beasts with him. Those ones weren"t as strong as the first batch, but they could definitely help. And just like that, Rean kept bringing more and more experts, although he had a limit. Anyone below the Elemental Transformation Realm wouldn"t be of any use in this place, so he didn"t bring them.
Eventually, there were around two thousand cultivators and demon beasts there at the Elemental Transformation Realm or similar in strength. "Phew... that"s about it. There will be more of them arriving outside as time pa.s.ses, but this is basically all that we had there for now."
Clinbay was more than happy with that as he thought he would have to make do with the first group. "That"s good for now. Anyways, should we bring the twins further inside or leave them here, being protected by the others?"
Rean and Roan answered that question before the other leaders said anything. "We want to go in. Our elemental purity might be of use there as well. We must do whatever it takes to stop the world"s collapse."
