With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

The formations of the four sects collapsed more and more as they felt the strain of being attacked from the dark. It was as if whatever was attacking them wouldn't give up no matter how many times their attacks failed.

Though it didn't seem like they had a problem since the four sects weren't able to hurt their attackers.

They tried to fight back against the attackers, but they were never able to pinpoint the attackers.

No matter how they tried to fight back, they would always miss.

In a state of being constantly attacked from the dark like this, there was a certain amount of stress that was on them. They would have to be in a state of high alert this entire time that would wear on their minds.

In short, they were slowly going crazy being in this state.

It was similar to being trapped in a cage with a fly that kept annoying you. It would slowly wear down on you until you couldn't take it anymore.

That was why it didn't take long for the first person to break.

"You son of a b*tch! Hiding in the dark like this like bugs! Do you dare fight me head on?"

It was an elder of the Unfettered Sect that broke and the moment that he did, there were sword slashes that started flying in different directions.

As these slashes of sword energy flew out, the others that had been in the same area as the elder had no choice to dodge. With them moving out of the way, the formation that they created collapsed and they were immediately attacked by the different spirit beasts.

While they were still powerful cultivators even without the support of the formation, that didn't mean that they had limitless stamina. At the same time, they had been slowly drained because they had been in the formation the entire time.

Their spiritual energy was quickly drained and they were killed by the spirit beasts.

In his final moments, the elder who had broken the formation had a look of peace on his face. The way that he looked was as if he was embracing the sweet relief of death.

Though there was no one else that had the same look on their face.

The disciples that had their deaths caused by this elder all glared at him as they were embraced by the grasps of death. They all looked like they would hold this against him and would chase him to the ends of hell to take revenge.

But what they thought didn't matter since they were dead. They didn't have the life to make good on this promise.

After this elder of the Unfettered Sect broke out of the formation, there were other elders from the other three sects that did the same. It could be said that their mental fortitude was better than the elder of the Unfettered Sect, but that didn't mean that it was good enough to resist this kind of mental torture.

Eventually, they cracked just like the elder of the Unfettered Sect.

There were large holes that now formed in the four formations.

These were large holes that couldn't be patched up that easily quickly spread across the entire formation and it didn't take long for their formations to crack. These were formations that had been formed by these four sects over a long period of time and they had been cracked this easily.

This was not something that just anyone could do…

But they didn't have time to think about it since without the formation, it meant that they had to fight the spirit beasts themselves.

They were also tired because they had to maintain the formation this entire time, which meant that it was hard for them to face this endless wave of spirit beasts. They were slowly being pushed back by the number of spirit beasts that appeared, even though many of them were stronger than these spirit beasts.

Without their trump card, it was like the wind had been taken out of their sails and they were forced back by the spirit beasts.

"Just where are they all coming from?" That was the one thought that was on everyone's mind when they faced these spirit beasts.

After a while, the leaders had no choice but to try and retreat.

They knew that it was impossible for them to stop the spirit beasts from approaching the Divine Blood Fruit. If they kept insisting on fighting these spirit beasts, it was only a matter of time before they were lying in a pool of their own blood on the ground.

They knew that it was impossible for them to push back these spirit beasts, so they had no choice but to let them through.

Even if the spirit beasts were to ruin some of the Divine Blood Fruit, they didn't believe that the spirit beasts would go as far as actually harming the Divine Blood Fruit. The spirit beasts wanted the Divine Blood Fruit for themselves, so they would try to preserve it as much as they could.

In that case, it was better to let the spirit beasts fight it out amongst themselves instead of protecting the Divine Blood Fruit.

While the Divine Blood Fruit would be a bit damaged because of this, they really had no choice in the matter.

Their lives were the most important things after all.

So once they came to this decision, the leaders all shouted for the members of their sect to gather around them. They broke up the lines that were stopping the spirit beasts from approaching the Divine Blood Fruit.

They were going to let the spirit beasts go past them before withdrawing from this area.

It was just that the spirit beasts didn't act the way that they wanted them to.

The spirit beasts did go past them at first as if they were charging for the Divine Blood Fruit, but that didn't last. Once the spirit beasts made their way past them, they suddenly turned around and faced the four sects.

Instead of going to the Divine Blood Fruit, the spirit beasts had completely surrounded the four sects. This was where the decision of the leaders to gather up had bit them in the butt.

This just made them more condensed and easier to surround.

At the same time, it decreased the amount of space that they had to fight in, so they had to be even more careful about how they fought or else they would have hurt each other instead of hurting the spirit beasts.

Everyone from the four sects looked at these spirit beasts in shock as they couldn't understand what was happening.

They had been certain that as long as they got out of the way, the dumb spirit beasts would immediately ignore them and head for the Divine Blood Fruit. They thought that they could be the people hiding behind the mantis stalking the cicada.

But now it turned out that they were nothing more than fools.

Just how were these spirit beasts moving in such a coordinated manner?

It didn't seem like something that spirit beasts were capable of…

A chill ran down the spines of the experts from the four sects as this thought crossed their minds.

Right, the way that these spirit beasts had been acting didn't seem like they were normal spirit beasts at all. Especially with the way that they had broken through their formation and had attacked them like that.

It seemed like this was the work of someone who had been watching over them the entire time.

Did that mean that they had been dancing on the palms of someone's hands?

Just who was this person that they could play with their four sects like this?

It had to be known that these four sects were sects that had the backing of the Five Great Sects. There was no way that they would be normal sects if they could receive the backing of the Five Great Sects.

But no matter how they complained, the facts were there.

They were now in a very sorry position and it seemed very likely that they would all be killed.

Since that was the case…

"If you want the Divine Blood Fruit, just take it! We're dropping out of the competition and we won't cause you any trouble!" It was the sect master of the Unfettered Sect that said this.

The Unfettered Sect had a more free belief compared to the other sects, so he had less hesitation than the others to surrender like this.

But…
Experience more content on empire

"Tink!"

There was the sound of metal clashing as the sect master of the Unfettered Sect raised his sword to block the attack that came in his direction. As he had attracted everyone's attention, he had also attracted unwanted attention in the form of someone who attacked him.

This was a member of the Spirit Hall.

It wasn't a spirit beast that attacked them this time, but a member of the Spirit Hall group.

The faces of the ones from the Martial Training Hall turned very ugly when they saw this since they couldn't avoid being caught up in this since the Spirit Hall was under them.

The people of the Unfettered Sect didn't hold back at all as they attacked the Martial Training Hall even though they were surrounded by the spirit beasts.

"He can even control people?" Ye Qing Huan thought to herself in shock as she looked at Lin Fan with a strange look.

But when she calmed down a bit, she saw that it was a corpse that had been controlled.
