Chapter 393 - The Story of the Illusory Realm (2/2)
How awesome!
The array had been activated. The sky became entirely red. The white figure looked phenomenal against the red backdrop. Even the pitch-black hole in the plane became red.
Lonemoon’s eyes were bulging out of his skull. He looked on in disbelief at the man who had just stabbed himself in the chest.
He was trying to…
“Offer his spirit!”
This was a bit overboard, wasn’t it? He was offering up his own soul as a sacrifice just to close up that hole in the sky. Still, that was a plane storm. Even if he did this, it would not necessarily…
“Look at the River of Forgetfulness!” Yi Qing exclaimed.
Lonemoon turned to look at the ground. The River of Forgetfulness in the illusory realm had been normal, but now, under the activation of the array, the calm waters began to stir. Layers and layers of golden flowers began to form on the water surface. At last, as if they were being pulled by strings, countless golden droplets of light gathered toward the array.
A minute later, the red of the Soul-Sacrificing Array became golden. The array flew straight toward the hole.
“He’s using the River of Forgetfulness to seal that hole up!” Lonemoon finally understood what the man was doing. However, only Meng Po had the power to control the River of Forgetfulness. It was no wonder he felt the need to sacrifice his own soul. But even so, it might not…
The blood array that turned golden had already fully covered the hole, but it did not completely block it. The force that was sucking everything into the hole was becoming even stronger, so that the array began to look warped.
The man’s soul was getting more and more translucent. He did not look like he could hold on for much longer. Gritting his teeth, he flicked his wrists, and the ground trembled. The River of Forgetfulness below him broke into different segments and rose into the sky, toward the array.
Finally, the blackhole of the plane storm reduced in size. The pitch-black hole minimized toward its center.
But the man had already reached the limits of his body. His figure was fast disappearing. If this carried on, the array would be gone before the hole was completely dealt with
At this crucial moment, a panicked cry came from below. “Help!”
Perhaps it was because the entire ground shook earlier. A man in green robes suddenly entered the area where the plane storm was. He was hugging a tree, trying to pull himself back out of the dangerous region.
A look of pain flashed across the face of the man who was barely holding it together. As if having made up his mind, he shot a burst of spirit Qi out of his body and pulled the other man over.
“Eh?” The man who got pulled up paused and looked at him. “Thank you, you’ve saved-”
“I’m sorry!” Before he could finish his sentence, the first man closed his eyes, not daring to look. A burst of spirit Qi shot straight through the other man’s heart
He did not even have time to defend himself. His soul was pushed right out of his body.
The first man flicked his wrist so that the other man’s soul glowed. The glowing soul entered the first man’s translucent body. The two souls became one. The first man’s soul looked less translucent.
He conjured another seal and the array once again glowed strongly golden. The hole was now reducing in size even more quickly. Within half a minute, the plane storm that threatened to swallow the entire earth earlier had disappeared.
The soul of the man who set the array up was now almost gone. With a soft clink, his own soul took on the same glow as the earlier man’s did. Then, his soul split into two halves, each of which floated into the River of Forgetfulness.
Yi Qing: “…”
.Lonemoon, “…”
Yun Heng: “…”
They watched a brutal… rescue of the world?
The few people who had been watching the entire scene kept silent for a long while. All kinds of different emotions filled their hearts. Then, the scene before their eyes changed once again.
