Chapter 582: Not Seeing Red

Many of the Cultivators from the Inner World seemed impressed by this strange place. They only saw the sky for a few minutes before they were trapped in a world of red. Now, their ears were ringing from the booming thunder. The volume of sound was so great that any mortals who heard it would have been blasted into tiny bits. For these Cultivators, aside from ringing ears, they merely felt sore all over, like theyd just experienced a powerful sneezing fit. Their whole bodies felt strained from the all encompassing pressure waves. The momentary lapse in concentration might have cost some of them their lives, but fortunately for them the enemy suffered from the same disruption. In fact, the enemy could be said to have suffered more, since many of them were helping to maintain the red light formation. When it was destroyed, they suffered a backlash, coughing up blood from the internal injuries they sustained. The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

Despite the destruction of the formation, nothing immediately happened and the battle picked back up. Without the red light filling them with dread and dampening their morale, the fight only grew more fierce. Sage immediately started planning a way out for those on his side. With the formation broken their escape was no longer impossible. He scanned the sky and ground for the reason that the formation was broken, ready to alter his escape plans to match the situation. Had they stumbled into some sort of natural disaster, or was there a third party interfering?

Black clouds rolled and tumbled above, while fists and blades flew down below. With the thunder as accompaniment, the battle built to a feverish pace. Boom. Boom. Boom. The thunder suddenly struck with a rhythmic pace, and then staccato clacks joined in. At that moment the thousands of enemy Cultivators started to glow with a fiery red aura. Sage immediately sent a message to the Tiankong Siblings, urging them to find the group of drummers! In a large scale battle like this, the drummers showed their greatest power. Their unusual techniques seemed to work on any of their allies that could hear them, and even now with thunder booming overhead they were able to hammer their drums with such fervor to affect the miles wide battlefield.

Ruanfu rolled and flipped through the sky, avoiding the many attacks flying her way. Like an inverse rain, they flew up from the ground into the air, showering the sky with violent energy. Sage constantly expended energy, using a careful application of Cosmic Traction to cling to her back. Without a physical body he couldnt just hold onto her and had to use unusual means to anchor his spirit form. Even so, he didnt regret it, as Ruanfus flight speed was far faster than the Violet Light Ancestor, Hei Bai, or the Fu Clan Nascent Soul. Her superior mobility was the only thing they could rely on to battle while so outnumbered by enemy Nascent Souls.

There was a pained scream, and feathers burst into the air. A giant vulture with flame patterned feathers swooped down and scooped up a chubby black feathered grouse. Songji suffered a heavy injury, half of her ribs and the bones in one wing were completely shattered, and Tujiu carried her away from the main battle, taking a few hits in the process.

Things werent going much better for the others. Jiyaos Mother, another giant sandpiper with blue diamond-like eyes, had one of her legs sliced clean off, sending her flight out of balance. A completely red toucan rammed its giant beak straight through the center of a womans chest. She had just released a scream that blew the head off an Inner World Cultivator and got stabbed through the heart by a beak in return. As the light left her eyes, she retaliated with the last of her strength, driving a spike into Juzuis right eye. Blood and pus-like fluid splattered everywhere and the gentlemanly bird pulled his beak out of the now dead woman and screeched in agony.

The sound caught Sages attention just long enough for him to not see one of Hei Bais eye beams. The burning line struck Ruanfus back and splashed against his ghostly body breaking his connection and sending him tumbling through the air a few times before he could right himself. He was forced to the ground, flecks of soul matter fell from his Nascent Soul body while he avoided follow up attacks from the Violet Light Ancestor and the Yincha woman, Lady Diyin. He yelled to Ruanfu, forbidding her from turning back to retrieve him. She had to intercept the Swordsman, sweeping her tail forward and causing an explosion to knock the man back as he was preparing to stab Baozhais Mother in the back.

Just as it felt like the drum beat would be their funeral dirge, the sound of the storm in the sky drowned them out. Brilliant light flashed in the sky, flooding the dark air with what seemed to be a river of lightning. The endless rumble of thunder broke the spell of the drummers and the fiery aura disappeared. Surprisingly, that immense stream of lightning in the sky didnt just pass by. It curved and arced across the sky, forming a huge loop in the sky above him. An electric halo above the battlefield that came to a sudden and abrupt stop.

Instead of striking the ground or fading away, the huge mass of lightning hovered in mid-air and only then did all those down on the ground have the chance to examine it. The snaking bolts of lightning were interconnected, outlining and forming the body of a giant eel. What left them even more amazed was that they could make out the shape of a person standing on the back of the mass of lightning. Then, a wise and confident voice fell over the battlefield, I hope Im not too late! Are you alright, Brother?
