Chapter 172: Evil Psychic Power (1/2)

Before Nie Tian headed to the Hell sect to participate in the Heaven Gate trial, Wu Ji had mentioned to him that chosen ones from the other nine realms would also be there.

They were all talented young cultivators who had profound, high-level spiritual tools and spiritual incantations at their disposal.

Apart from that, every single one of them had a master with unlimited resources… any of whom could possibly be even more powerful than Wu Ji.

Furthermore, the Qi warrior sects that they were from were also far stronger than the Cloudsoaring sect, and could potentially have longer histories and more resources than the Hell sect.

Wu Ji urged him to be extra careful if he came across such chosen ones.

In Nie Tian’s eyes, Wu Ling from the Realm of Unbounded Desolation must be one of the chosen ones that his master had warned him about.

The long, strange saber in his hand and the spiritual armor he was wearing were both far beyond ordinary.

Nie Tian had seen Wu Ling being engulfed by the millions of sparks created when the spiritual energy balls exploded.

However, as soon as Wu Ling unveiled his spiritual armor, just the bright light that shot out of it managed to kill off every last one of the sparks.

Afterwards, Wu Ling stood there, completely unscathed. Only the light that had shot out of his spiritual armor slightly dimmed.

“It seems that I’ve underestimated the Realm of Flame Heaven.” Wu Ling made his way through a sea of sparks as he strode towards Nie Tian.

With every step he took, countless rays of light shot out from his spiritual armor, extinguishing the sparks near him.

Wu Ling frowned as he said. “I didn’t expect the Realm of Flame Heaven to have people this impressive…” From the look of it, he had finally started to consider Nie Tian as a worthy opponent and no longer dared to underestimate him.

FIZZ! FIZZ!

The long saber in Wu Ling’s hand constantly exuded faint auras. All of a sudden the three eyes on the blade focused on Nie Tian.

As soon as they locked onto Nie Tian, Nie Tian started to experience stabbing pains in his eyes, after which tears began uncontrollably flowing out of them.

Meanwhile, a surge of bloodthirsty, evil psychic power entered Nie Tian’s mind.

Clearly, the evil psychic power didn’t come from Wu Ling, but rather came from the saber itself.

To be exact, it came from the three wide open eyes on the blade.

The eyes were originally a dark, blue-violet color. However, at that moment, they suddenly shed their original color and became green, red, and black.

He had the feeling that he had been locked down by three terrifying, fiendish devils, and the moment they entered him, they started gnawing on his mind.

Nie Tian hurriedly steadied his mind and rapidly retracted the psychic power that he had sent out to control the spiritual energy balls.

He gathered all his psychic power in his mind and turned it into giant, sharp blades, madly cutting through the evil psychic power that had invaded his mind, hoping to get rid of it as soon as possible.

“I can’t believe that your psychic power is every bit as strong as mine!” Wu Ling grinned. His expression was brutal and sinister as he continued, “But what a shame. Apparently you don’t seem to know any psychic magics. It makes sense though. After all, you’re from the Realm of Flame Heaven, which is the weakest of all nine realms. Plus, considering your poor cultivation base, I guess you haven’t met the qualifications to learn those profound psychic magics yet.”

With a vicious grin on his face, he gradually sped up as he approached Nie Tian.

At that moment, Nie Tian’s mind had already been occupied by the evil psychic power and could no longer command the spiritual energy balls to block Wu Ling’s way forward.

The distance between them quickly shortened from dozens of meters to less than ten meters.

Within such a short distance, the effect of all of Wu Ling’s spiritual incantations and secret magics would be maximized.

All of a sudden, he stopped.

SHEW!

A blade of light that was almost twenty meters long shot out of his bizarrely shaped long saber, and started to devour the spiritual energy around it the moment it was formed.

Seconds later, the originally long and thin light blade expanded several times and became a terrifying, wide blade that could slice open the heavens. Without any hesitation, it slashed towards Nie Tian.

“What a pity…” Su Lin from the Heaven Palace sect in the Realm of Mystic Heaven softly shook her head, assuming Nie Tian would die beyond the shadow of a doubt.

She also noticed that Nie Tian’s mind had already been invaded by the evil psychic power that had originated from the three demonic eyes on Wu Ling’s blade.

Even though Nie Tian’s psychic power was by no means weaker than Wu Ling’s, he didn’t seemed to know any high-leveled psychic magics that he could use to contend with the psychic attack of the three demonic eyes.

Under the fierce attack, Nie Tian’s soul seemed to have already been occupied, and thus he couldn’t even bring himself up to defend against the incoming slash of the terrifying light blade.

She was convinced that Nie Tian was facing inevitable doom.

At that moment, the surge of evil psychic power had already turned into a hurricane within Nie Tian’s soul, raging and havocking, as if it was going to tear his soul into shreds.

The shield that Nie Tian had condensed with his psychic power rapidly repeated the process of shattering and reforming under the devastating impact.
