Reincarnated as an Energy with a System-Novel

Ning put down his hands he had instinctively put up in front of him when the attack came. In front of him was a nearly 3 meters tall beetle with a long slender horn with 3 tips at the top.

The overall beetle was about 2 meters wide. It currently had its front side turned to Ning as the backside had just protected him from both of the attacks right now.

"What… is that?" the woman couldn't help asking.

"That… should be a Great Horned Silver beetle, however, why is its body golden?" the First Elder whispered to himself a little.

Ning's beetle had finally evolved in the two months since he lost the system and had fully turned to a Golden Shelled Beetle, one of the greatest defensive creatures in all of Kumia.

The beetle was currently at 8th Qi Condensation realm and was relatively slow when compared to its contemporary, however, when it came to defense it was amazing.

The beetle had just used one of the special techniques it had learned through evolution and used it to protect Ning. Ning could tell that the Beetle was badly hurt, but nowhere to the point where it couldn't keep on surviving.

Still, Ning brought the beetle back to the beast space after sucking away any remnants of corpse Qi that might have landed on it.

He checked his left arm that was hurt and tended to it. It was only bleeding a little, so he just closed the wound for now.

"Good job Volunteer Ning, now go help my Disciple please," the First Elder said as he started to freely bombard the woman with attacks after attack slowly taking away her chances of escaping.

"Amitabha." The First Elder's voice rang out as the sound carried an attack that directly crushed the woman's body. A 2nd Foundation Establishment realm cultivator was dead just like that.

Ning walked over to the rubble and pulled out the unconscious Mikaela. She didn't seem to have any corpse Qi on her, so it was fine.

Ning picked her up in a princess carry and started walking her to the city center where the physician's guild was.

As he got closer to the center, the louder the sound of the explosion became, however, the sound of cries had died down considerably.

Either people were now safe, or dead. In either case, the town was silent of the cries.

Ning ran his way to the physician's guild where a lot of people were hanging around. People with high cultivation bases, some who Ning had never seen before had come out and had started to use the same bead necklace as the first elder and went around calmly saying Amitabha.

Every time one of them said that a flash of golden light would appear from them that would wash away the corpse Qi that was affecting a patient.

"What?" Ning was shocked. He had never in his life expected that someone could cure something that even he couldn't through normal measures.

'Is that because Corpse Qi isn't really a medical injury, so the system didn't give me any information?' he wondered. Also, the techniques the high-leveled cultivators in the sect were using, were completely new to him.

Meaning, they were probably hidden from him until he went to a higher status in the sect. Maybe he even had to be an elder to learn them. He didn't have the time to think about it right now.

He quickly took Mikaela to one of the physicians and left her. He ran back out of the physician's guild and looked towards the north where the majority of the explosions were sounding.

Along the way, he fought more women from the eagle sect, but with the holy sword, he didn't have to worry about anything.

He finally reached the area where the sound was the greatest, the battlefield. He was shocked when he law hundreds of humans and beasts fighting together against many women with blue skin and dozens of zombies.

The humans and beasts were all hidden behind barriers set by a Pure Cleansing sect elder and threw out attacks from inside. The barrier was constantly blocking the attacks from the women and not letting any Corpse Qi enter the barrier. That was their sole purpose.

Ning quickly checked everyone's cultivation base, but without doubt, they were all in the Foundation Establishment Realm. This was a fight too high level for him.

He could barely win against the 1st Foundation Establishment realm woman with his current cultivation base, and that too was after using a lot of his Qi.

He was now very low on Qi and couldn't freely use the Radiant Holy Sword. This was not somewhere he could be. He needed to leave.

The Pure Cleansing sect, Mist Origin sect, and a few rogue cultivators were fighting for their lives, but Ning didn't care about that right now.

The fear he had been ignoring was flaring after seeing so many enemies. A single moment of carelessness would result in the death of his body.

He wasn't sure what would happen to him now that the system was gone. All logic stated that he was still immortal, but he just didn't want to risk it.

'I should run back,' he thought. He wouldn't be of much help anyway.

BOOM

Suddenly, a loud explosion rang out in the sky. Ning looked up to see 3 people fighting in the sky.

Ning recognized only one of the fighters in the sky. It was the sect leader of the Mist Origin sect, Ikusa. The Rainbow Phoenix was constantly roaming in the sky, sending out fire towards a woman.

This woman, however, didn't have any blue skin. Her skin was the same as every other person on their side of the battlefield. She was fighting Ikusa and the other man with the sword.

The last man was someone Ning hadn't seen yet either. He was bald and definitely from the Pure Cleansing sect and had a very bright golden halo around him. He looked like he was in his late 30s, which was quite young for such a strong person.

A strong bald person Ning had never seen before, he wondered, "Is that the sect leader?"
