Corrupt Creations-Chapter 390

Chapter 390: Frigid Despair

“Bring him over here!” The Sanctuary Master ordered and the two servants holding the male prisoner, started moving him to the frontal area of that elevated platform.

They put him in a kneeling position right in front of the Sanctuary Master, before swiftly retreating to where they were earlier.

As the leader of that entire territory, he assumed the front, putting his hand over that male prisoner’s head, lightly pulling on the cloth that blocked his face from the public’s eyes, revealing the lower parts of his chin.

“It’s time for you all to see the true face of this sinner; to see the family who had wronged us and gone against our goddess teachings!”

Grand Elder Chuanli felt a current passing through his entire body, as he quickly stood up and shouted in distress: “No! Wait!”

But the Sanctuary Master didn’t stop his actions, on the contrary, he looked at Grand Elder Chuanli and savored his countenance that was filled with despair and anxiousness, before swiftly pulling the piece of cloth upwards, throwing it towards the back.

Swoosh!

.....

A gush of a frigid air swept past everyone present, but it hit Chuanli and Dongmei a hundred times harder than any of the other Elders. Right in front of them, they saw the bruised face of their son who had lifeless eyes and the flow of time seemed to have stopped for them.

“This is the real face of the sinner! Someone who deserves to be thrown in hell for disobeying our primordial goddess!”

The Sanctuary Master shouted, as he observed the pale faces of the Elders who watched it in shock. They seemed to have had their beliefs upturned and some of them couldn’t even process what was happening anymore. When they turned to look at Chuanli and Donghai, they had a disgusted look on their faces, just like the Sanctuary Master wished they had.

“No! My son!” Dongmei shouted as tears were already streaming down her cheeks. She started to move forward, but the Grand Elder acted faster and his cultivation base exploded.

Her loud voice had awakened him from his trance and he used that chance to launch himself forward, in order to save his son. He prayed and hoped everything was just a joke, as his body moved in a sudden impetus, telling him it was not and that he needed to act fast.

In a fraction of a second, he was already standing beside the Sanctuary Master, with one of his hands moving to grab Donghai, while the other seemed to be prepared to push the enemy with his Profound Mana Realm base of cultivation.

But right in front of him, stood none other than the Sanctuary Master, a Mana Sovereign entity, who could overlook every single one of the people present in that hall, as they were mere ants near his prowess.

One single realm of cultivation separated them, but it was akin to the distance between heaven and hell.

As if the fires of war had been wiped off from him in a single and faint breath, Chuanli felt his Mana vanishing, as he saw the Sanctuary Master weakly wave his hand. His powers were rendered useless before him and he felt like he was nothing more than a normal human.

With another wave of his hand, the Grand Elder Chuanli was sent flying back towards the hall, landing before a few Elders who were already standing up, but still didn’t know how to properly react. 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮

“Restrain them for me.”

As they heard their leader’s lazy voice ordering, those Elder quickly jumped forward and held the Grand Elder down, pinning him on the floor. Almost instantly, many auras entered his body and blocked his energy veins, completely stopping his Mana flow.

“Chuanli!” Dongmei was moving his way, but before she could even reach him, more Elders jumped forward and did the same thing to her.

Both of them got immobilized and nothing they did, could shake the Elders who were holding them down away. Right in front of their eyes, they saw the Sanctuary Master sadistic smile, standing beside their son, who seemed to be in a critical condition and could only grief.

“Hehehe... Now, we will see, who is g...”

The Sanctuary Master was about to initiate the final phase of his devious plan, when all of a sudden, he noticed something was wrong.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

At the back parts of that huge hall, from the walls and from the ground, strange cracking noises started echoing through the environment. Together with them, a white layer of ice swiftly covered those places.

It quickly started to take over the entire hall, spreading through the ceiling and walls, as if it was announcing the beginning of an ice age. Together with the thin layer of ice, a cold and frigid air invaded the whole hall, sending shivers down the spines of everyone.

The Elders quickly used their Mana to scan that invading energy, but they felt nothing. None of them could come closer to feel what was causing all of that and if they knew it was from an entity as strong as their Sanctuary Master, many of them would be running for their lives already.

Suddenly, panic started to slowly rise in their hearts and the Sanctuary Master noticed it. His expression fell and he got a bit angry that something or someone, was ruining his perfect time. Together with his realization that something was off, he decided to act.

His Mana Sovereign Realm cultivation was released, swiftly touching and scanning the invading cold. However, the results of his scan left him speechless. He was shocked to find that an energy no weaker than his, was the real culprit behind all of that and he also realized that what he had observed, was just the tip of the iceberg, the overflowing cold energy of something way bigger.

Up there in the skies, Lan Xue had finished forming her technique and all around her, the world had entirely frozen. A thick white fog covered the skies and with single command of hers, it would descend to torment those who were below.
