The army of 20,000 cultivators were divided into twenty platoons of 1,000 cultivators each. Within each platoon, there were smaller groups. Cultivators with light-related powers took the front to create barriers and heal their comrades. The wind and lightning cultivators supported the front. Meanwhile, mixed squads of fire, water, and dark cultivators formed squads that allowed them to support each other as they repeatedly entered and retreated from the front-lines.
Blasts of elemental energies exploded everywhere as the battle intensified. Flames spread across the mountain one moment, only to be doused by water the next moment. Elemental giants were killed in uncountable numbers, but the Purple Origin Sect's barrier continued to produce more without end.
