Chapter 788 - 440 Marching_2
Lifebound Flying Sword slashed at the ground, but it didn’t cause any damage.
"Why is my Spiritual Power Pattern depleting so quickly?" Ancestor Lou’s frightened voice came once more.
Normally, even though the Silver Corpse’s assimilation speed is fast, the amount of Spiritual Power Pattern it could consume when it got close to him should be limited.
However, he was suddenly shocked to discover that the Spiritual Power Pattern of the defensive secret technique on the outermost layer of his body had been completely devoured by the Silver Corpse, and the Earth Element Spiritual Power on him was also diminishing rapidly.
A glint of gold light fell upon Ancestor Lou, Elder Jin Kai’s support had arrived.
"Set up the formation, you too return to the formation!" Elder Jin Kai said solemnly.
All the Nascent Soul Ancestors were slaughtering the Silver Corpses, but they all faced the same problem: no matter how weak a Silver Corpse’s power was, as soon as it emerged from the ground, it would always manage to bite a Nascent Soul Ancestor close to it first.
Without slaying the Silver Corpses promptly, they would continue to devour Spiritual Power Pattern relentlessly.
It was fortunate that these were only Silver Corpses and that they were all Nascent Soul Ancestors. After they engaged their Nascent Soul Dharma Forms and released large-scale spells, they finally cleared the Silver Corpses emerging in that area. No more Silver Corpses appeared from beneath the ground.
The pale golden Silver Corpse did not appear again afterward; all the dead were ordinary Silver Corpses.
Although the battle did not last long, the faces of all Nascent Soul Practitioners looked grim as they discovered that their Spiritual Power Pattern had been significantly depleted.
"A single Silver Corpse only consumes a small amount of Spiritual Power Pattern, but when their numbers increase, their assimilation capability can be strengthened by more than a hundredfold!" Elder Jin Kai, who was the least affected, still lost one-fifth of his Spiritual Power Pattern as he said this with a heavy tone.
