Corrupt Creations

A few moments later, everything returned back to normal. None of those aggressive energies were present in the environment anymore; the Lake Mother and the Sanctuary Master's silhouettes, were not standing where they were before either. It was like they had vanished.

The elders were confused after they realized there was no one present in that area any longer, but very quickly they discovered why.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Looking a bit farther into the distance, they were able to see two figures engaging in a melee combat; putting their hand-to-hand offensive and defensive techniques to the test.

However, each time their fists met, a very powerful shockwave would happen, displacing the air around them and sending chills running down the spine of the onlookers.

While the Lake Mother and the Sanctuary Masters were fighting at the shore, the lake was impressively very calm. However, that tranquil and calm environment didn't bring peace for anyone.

Neither the Illusive Ethereal Goddess, nor the water spirit Darya had made any moves yet. They were just observing each other first, without saying or asking anything. Darya had tried to find the orb the purple goddess had sent flying downwards, but she couldn't do it either.

There was no necessity of saying any words between the two of them. While one wanted to invade a certain territory by force, the other would protect it by using force as well.

However, everyone watching that scene, felt the tension rising up and their hearts were already beating faster than normal just by looking at that picture.

After some time, the Illusive Ethereal Goddess finally decided to make a move. She had felt and seen enough.

Her right hand shone with a dark purple light and the rainy weather simply changed. Actually, not only the weather had changed, but the entire world seemed to respond to her actions. Even the Sanctuary Master and the Lake Mother had to go a bit farther with their battle, so they weren't caught by it.

Cracks started to appear in the surface of the space, from where a bizarre scene entered everyone's eyes.

Behind the Illusive Ethereal Goddess, those cracks expanded, revealing an entire purple world inside of them. It was a very chaotic and monochromatic world, where there were multiple and varying lifeforms created out of purple energetic particles.

The first thing everyone took notice, were some bizarre creatures extending their deformed arms outside of the cracks and pulling their bodies towards the real plane. Just that scene was able to scare most of the disciples witnessing it, but when more and more of those creatures started to appear from those cracks, dropping down towards the lake in the thousands, they were finally able to realize how tiny their individual strength would be, when compared to those two ancient figures.

An entity like the Illusive Ethereal Goddess, could create many creatures to fight for her; creatures that presented a strength that was not a bit lower than a Profound Mana Realm cultivator.

With an army of creature like that at her disposal, who could possibly contend with her?

At least, the elders and disciples from the Illusive Ethereal Sanctuary didn't believe there was anyone that could do it.

However, just as the creatures dropped down inside the lake, in front of each one of them, a bubbling area suddenly formed. There was an intense energy, acting and forming something inside those bubbles.

Darya's mermaid body shone in a deep blue light and from inside those bubbling areas, many animals made of pure water elemental energy leapt out. They immediately entered in a fight against the purple invaders, surprising everyone that watched that scene.

Those waster creatures were very strong and there were many types and sizes as well. Multiple species of fish; crabs; dolphins; sharks and even unknown water lifeforms.

In a short window of time, the entire lake became a fierce battlefield between thousands and thousands of creatures. Each one of them was releasing a fearful elemental aura, and their rapid attacks, left a trail of powerful Mana fluctuations behind.

Inside the forbidden territory in the deepest parts of the Glazed Lake Sect, Caizhi observed everything that was happening, just like her master had instructed her to do.

Suddenly, the Lake Goddess turned towards her disciple and said: "Stay here. This zone is safe and not even that Illusive Ethereal Goddess will be able to come here without my permission."

"Master? Are you leaving?"

"Yes. I'll be back soon."

Caizhi nodded and kept looking at the screen. Even though she was watching it from afar, she felt like she was present in that scenario.

The Illusive Ethereal Goddess raised her hand and thousands of other creatures appeared in the air, dropping down towards the lake and joining the battle.

Looking from an outside perspective, Caizhi started to feel that the purple female entity seemed to be using her abilities in order to buy time. She was intentionally spawning more and more of those creatures, but not doing anything else than that.

From those observations, she guessed that something wasn't right. However, she couldn't point what was it.

Actually, Caizhi guess was correct. Inside the Glazed Lake, a purple orb emerged right in the middle of where most of the normal disciples were. The orb appearing there, wasn't something the Illusive Ethereal Goddess intended, but it wouldn't change anything for her.

"Look! What is that?"

"An orb?"

"Ah?!!! It's changing."

From inside the ancient purple orb, an elusive and ethereal haze started to form the outline of a female. The disciples were not able to recognize her, since where they were, it wasn't possible to see what happened in the outside world.

However, every single one of them knew it was an enemy. The place all those disciples were, was in one of the most probable locations that an enemy would appear, if he or she were to enter the sect. Those disciples were the first defensive line of protection if that were to happen. But unfortunately for them, the entity in front of their eyes was none other than the real Illusive Ethereal Goddess.
