Chapter 340: Phantasm (1/2)

Chapter 340: Phantasm

“Who’s there?!” Ning Yang let out a violent shout as he backed away from the meteor. The skin on his hand was cut open and blood was flowing out of his torn flesh.

SHEW!

With a thought, he summoned the spiritual sword he had hacked into the meteor, and it rapidly flew back into his hand.

At that very moment, Tong Jianfeng’s corpse landed heavily at the bottom of the crater, creating a loud crash.

Numerous threads of cyan light were still snaking around on Tong Jianfeng’s corpse.

Tong Jianfeng had harbored intentions to rescue Ning Yang. However, he ended up being the one penetrated and killed by the numerous threads of cyan light.

In the meantime, more copious amounts of phantasm Qi, which originated from the Phantasms’ realms, continued to converge on the gigantic meteor. The originally subtle life aura inside the meteor instantly grew vigorous and conspicuous.

CRUNCH!

The part of the meteor where Ning Yang’s spiritual sword had hacked at suddenly exploded, and a vague figure whizzed out, wreathed in rich, cyan phantasm Qi.

As soon as it appeared, it shot directly towards Ning Yang.

All the phantasm Qi within the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in this region seemed to have found a vent and rushed towards the vague figure.

“A legacy mark from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace!” The vague figure said in broken human language as it immediately focused its attention on Ning Yang.

Just now, as Ning Yang had attempted to shatter the meteor with his sword, he had opened his lapels and looked down at the fragmentary star mark on his chest from time to time, hoping to uncover the mysteries within it.

That was why the vague figure had caught sight of the fragmentary star mark on his chest the moment it flew out of the meteor.

This Phantasm seemed to know that it was a legacy mark he had acquired from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, and thus gave voice to its findings.

Ning Yang immediately grew psyched. “W-who are you? How do you know that this is a legacy mark I obtained from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace?”

Staring coldly at the mark on Ning Yang’s chest, the vague figure said, “It’s a shame that you haven’t refined it. This means that you haven’t been acknowledged by the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, and this is why you haven’t been able to learn secret magics from it. Also, an unrefined legacy mark can be stripped from its owner!”

SHEW! SHEW! SHEW!

One after another, numerous ribbon-like, cyan lights shot out from within the vague figure.

The threads of cyan light moved like spiritual snakes, and there were hundreds of them.

In a split second, the substantial amount of cyan light threads surrounded Ning Yang. They rapidly formed a ward around him, inside of which a strange magnetic field was gradually born.

Ning Yang brandished his spiritual sword as he hoped to break the ward with his sword blasts.

However, not only did his sword blasts fail to shatter the strange ward, but it began to shrink continuously.

All of a sudden, the vague figure wreathed in cyan phantasm Qi whizzed into the ward like a ghost, where it reached out its hand and grabbed towards Ning Yang’s chest.

An inconceivably strong attraction force was instantly born within its palm. Like a large magnet, it was actually pulling the legacy mark away from Ning Yang’s chest bit by bit.

With angry roars, Ning Yang madly unleashed all kinds of secret magics from the Heaven Palace Sect. The area around him was rapidly filled with sword blasts and lightning bolts.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t stop the legacy mark he had acquired from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace from being gradually detached from him.

The fragmentary star mark seemed to have sensed some kind of danger, and thus began to emanate dazzlingly bright starlight.

After being detached, the floating fragmentary star mark seemed to turn into a glorious nebula. The countless ancient magical symbols within it seemed to turn into stars. They shone so brightly that it was as if they were resisting being captured by that foreign Phantasm.

Meanwhile...

Nie Tian, who had been observing in the dark, noticed that his refined fragmentary star mark had also surfaced from under his skin and detached itself from his chest!

Like another nebula, it floated in front of his chest.

Without any active consciousness of his own, his star power and psychic power madly converged on that fragmentary star mark.

Even the seven fragmentary stars within his soul flew out and rushed into that fragmentary star mark.

Floating in front of Nie Tian’s chest, the nebula-like fragmentary star mark unleashed increasingly dazzling, bright starlight.

The starlight was so blindingly bright that Xue Long and Pei Qiqi couldn’t even bear to look directly at it.

Astonished by the scene, Xue Long asked, “Nie Tian! What’s happening?!”

“What’s going on?!” Pei Qiqi also asked hastily.
