The battle between the four Consummate realm cultivators became extremely intense.
Particularly, the one with Arc and the Sect head.
Sect head is already injured from fighting the association heads and he even had to use his secret technique, which is extremely taxing to his body and causes some internal injuries.
But before he could get a chance to recover, he has to come here and Arc's sneak attack didn't help him.
If not for the fact that Arc showed so much power on the palm strike, both the Consummate realm cultivators wouldn't have just focused on him and gave up the surroundings.
Even if they did notice, they might have not cared, after all a transcendent level attack is not enough to graze them much less injure them. But they completely forgot about their mounts and they paid a price.
The Sect head is having the hardest time of his life as he was completely being overwhelmed by Arc.
He couldn't think straight. Particularly, when his brain is a mess with all the frustrating thoughts he is getting at this moment.
He is thinking maybe, it would have been better if he didn't wage a war.
Not only did he lose some core strength in the battles, but he is also in an extreme predicament. Even if he survived this, he is not confident that Usiane sect will see tomorrow. The Major power heads would be stupid to leave the Usaine sect alone in this situation.
He defended continuously as he looked at Arc with extreme resentment, he started activating the secret technique. He spat out a mouthful of blood due to his bloody state, but he didn't care anymore. He wants to eliminate Arc with all he got.
As he was about to move and finish Arc with one strike of all his remaining strength, he suddenly sensed a tingle on his neck and he turned around abruptly, only to meet with a golden flash coming straight to his face.
When the staff hit his face, he almost lost his consciousness and his whole spiritual energy is in a mess.
He spat out another mouthful of blood and this time it is a lot more than the first time. He took the backlash of the secret technique completely and his internal organs are shaking.
He looked at the Monkey King's Clone who once again went on to battle with the Grand elder who is extremely agitated with the situation of the Sect head.
He didn't want to end up like this. But he knew that this is the end.
Arc didn't waste any time and just stabbed his palm straight into his heart ending his life.
The grand elder felt shivers all over and he wanted to retreat immediately, thus he attacked the clone frenziedly and wanted to run away.
But the clone is not letting him move one bit.
After some time, when he was contemplating using the secret technique at the risk of facing the same outcome as the sect head., he found a small opening and ran for his life towards the main island of the sect.
After crossing a distance, he felt that he was saved, but when he turned back, he saw a large staff image conjured in the hands of the clone and it extended all the way towards him and with a single smash, he could almost hear his spiritual core cracking.
This is something completely unexpected, just when he thought, he is surely going to die, the clone or Arc didn't follow up and he didn't hesitate to run towards the Core of the Island.
"Isn't it better to finish him off here?" Arc asked Sam in a somewhat worried tone.
"His head was already coined; it is just enough to cripple him," Sam said and gestured for the fleet to move forward.
He landed on one deck and sat cross-legged to do one last thing that could conclude the war between the Usaine sect and them.
Meanwhile.
At the border of the Arsin and the Usaine sect. There are actually some guards whose duty is to guard the borders against the people who want to enter the Usaine sect territory.
Even though, Arsin is under the Usaine sect, not every citizen could get access to the sect. At this place, Philip is standing with the Sirona and behind them, there are the remaining half of their troops.
This is the reason they targeted the Arsin empire.
This land border which was often neglected was the perfect penetration point.
There are some Pre-transcendent cultivators, some Transcendent stage cultivators who were recruited from the Yellow Sand Island and most of them are Nascent stage cultivators and Grand realm cultivators.
They just cleared the guards of the border and they are moving into the Sect area at their top speed.
Even though this Island is the core Island of the Sect, this side of the Island is completely devoid of the disciples.
But the energy waves of these large troops are not there just for show, the other disciples and elders could feel this and they couldn't help but shiver. The major strength of the sect is not here. The strongest Transcendent stage cultivators to the Strongest Nascent stage cultivators, all of them left to defend against Sam and they didn't expect someone would dare to attack this place just like that.
All the disciples and elders left in the sect started preparing to intercept the enemies, but what they didn't notice is that more than half of the Grand realm and Nascent stage cultivators in the sect all suddenly became dazed for a few seconds.
It is for a short amount of time, that no one was able to detect it.
But after that, these dazed members ran in different directions and twelve of them, in particular, ran towards the deeper parts of the sect, where the Ancestor stays.
The Ancestor has also detected the situation and is getting ready to make a move and see who had the audacity to make a move of Usaine sect, but all of a sudden, he saw some people of the sect are running towards him and frowned at this.
They seemed to have been coming from different directions which made him contemplate what happened.
When they arrived at his doorstep, he came out and asked in an authoritative tone.
"What happened?"
But they didn't answer him, instead all of them surrounding him and kneeled on the ground before looking at his face with some reluctance and some of them even had tears in their eyes.
The Ancestor was puzzled and all of a sudden his facial expression turned from confusion to horror.
Because he noticed that the energy fluctuations in their bodies completely became chaotic.
This is the sign of self-destruction, he is not horrified because they are dying, but they are self-destructing here and that too together. Before he could make a move, all of them already exploded.
*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*
"AHhhhhhhhhhhh."
The ancestor cried at the top of his lungs as he was stuck within the explosion and that too right in the middle of it.
When the dust settled, he was there barely breathing with blood and all over. His energy is barely fluctuating, He wouldn't be able to recover his energy nor his energy anytime soon, and that too if he was able to recover at all.
At this moment, the same types of explosions came from all over the sect, but this time they are not targeted at the individuals, instead, they are targeted at the formation nodes of the defenses of the Sect.
Now, the Usaine sect is laid bare in front of Philip and the troops.
The rest that followed is a bloody and one-sided battle.
Sam opened his eyes on the deck and stretched a little as he looked towards the horizons.
By the time, Philip and Sirona entered the core area of the island and conquered all the places in their away.
Sirona directly went to the main court where the Eight guardian puppet stays and activated them to make them her personal possessions.
The Grand elder who is injured in the battle with the Inscription association head is still unconscious.
At this moment, Arc started moving towards the sect with full speed as he was told by Sam that the only Ancestor is still an unknown factor.
Sam doesn't know how much damage the Ancestor received and how much time they had for him to recover, so he thought that it would be better for them to deal with that guy when he is weak.
As the conquest continued and reached its finishing stages.
The Grand elder who was crippled by the clone of the Monkey King and doesn't know what is happening in the sect just reached the sect only to meet with Philip who is waiting at the entrance.
When he saw Philip's face, the grand elder frowned due to the unknown familiarity.
"Who are you? Are you a disciple? Why is sect so silent?" He asked in a cautious tone.
"Why so hurry Elder? Don't worry too much, you will know what happened once you come inside."
Philip said and started walking towards him.
The Grand elder frowned and asked.
"Who are you?"
"What? You still don't recognize me? I am genuinely disappointed." Philip said with a vexed and hurt expression.
"Stop playing games and say it, who are you?"
"I guess, it is really hard to recognize me since it has been almost eighteen years. I was just a kid back then"
When Philip said those words, the Grand Elder was shocked and looked at Philip as he struggled to speak as he recognized that unknown familiarity.
"That's right elder, the same child of that person who you chased all over the sect just to get the treasure. I hope you have been well because you wouldn't be anymore."
As Philip said, he took out a dagger and walked towards him. The elder wanted to escape but he wasn't able to outrun Philip because he is crippled.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh…"
The screams of this person echoed throughout the sect and all the disciples who are surrendered or imprisoned are shivering.
