Chapter 422: Mountains of Corpses and Seas of Blood

A handful of loyal members of the Gu Clan held Gu Haofeng back from getting close to Dong Li with full force.

Having spent quite some energy attacking Specters and having suffered a blow to his soul, his strength had taken a significant dip. Even though he roared angrily, he failed to struggle free from his subordinates.

“Wu Tian...”

Qin Yan from the Water Moon Chamber of Commerce was the only one who knew Nie Tian’s actual identity other than Han Mu and the unconscious Dong Li.

Upon hearing Han Mu’s emotional plea, the tips of her eyebrows rose as she called out to Nie Tian, “If it’s possible, please try to help Li.”

At that moment, hearing her saying those words to Nie Tian with a pleading tone, all the others were shocked into a daze.

They didn’t understand why Qin Yan and Han Mu would beg for Nie Tian’s help.

No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t picture Nie Tian, who possessed the lowest cultivation base and had kept a low profile so far, to be the one who would be able to save Dong Li at this critical moment.

However, it was none other than this young man who said, after hearing Han Mu and Qin Yan’s pleas, “Alright, I’ll try, but I can’t guarantee that it’ll work.”

Han Mu’s eyes instantly lit up.

Anticipation appeared in Qin Yan’s eyes as well.

The others, however, seemed rather confused as they looked blankly at the three of them.

Under everyone’s gazes, Nie Tian reached out with one hand and pointed one finger in between her eyebrows. As he did, his seven Heaven Eyes that he had deployed in the vicinity rapidly flew back to him and followed that finger of his into Dong Li’s soul.

A strong shudder ran through Nie Tian’s body.

This being the first time his Heaven Eyes had ever entered another person’s soul, he was flabbergasted by the scene in Dong Li’s soul.

At this moment, Dong Li’s soul sea looked like a misty sea of blood, in the middle of which were mountains of corpses that were unleashing endless negative auras.

It was said that only by entering the Worldly realm would Qi warriors be able to transform their psychic power into soul power and form their truesouls.

Entering the Worldly realm marked the transcendence of psychic power and the formation of truesouls.

However, since Dong Li was still at the Greater Heaven stage, her psychic power hadn’t transcended and she hadn’t formed her truesoul.

Hence, all of her memories, psychic power, and personal experiences were still in the form of a vague soul shadow that roamed within her soul sea.

At that moment, her soul shadow was surrounded by the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Her black phoenix was flying above her soul sea, letting out soundless cries, as if it were attempting to get Dong Li’s soul shadow out of there.

However, the mountains of corpses and seas of blood seemed to be creeping in odd ways, forming layers of illusions that served as multiple hemispherical shields over Dong Li’s soul sea, stopping the black phoenix from getting close.

The moment Nie Tian’s seven Heaven Eyes entered Dong Li’s soul, they seemed to transform into seven fragmentary stars, and started shining over Dong Li’s soul sea.

He was perfectly aware that they were not the actual fragmentary stars in his soul, and that the soul power within them was also very limited.

However, it seemed as if the moment they appeared over Dong Li’s soul sea, they seemed to infuse Dong Li’s soul with a breath of fresh air!

As the Heaven Eyes floated closer to the mountains of corpses and seas of blood under Nie Tian’s command, endless bloody images and negative emotions swarmed in and started corroding them.

At that moment, the seven fragmentary stars in Nie Tian’s soul instantly started to emanate dazzling starlight.

Incomparably pure soul power started flowing madly from Nie Tian’s soul into Dong Li’s soul.

Due to the transmission of soul power, the seven fragmentary stars in Nie Tian’s soul gradually shrunk in size.

Meanwhile, the seven Heaven Eyes in Dong Li’s soul started shining with increasingly brilliant starlight.

Starlight poured down on Dong Li’s soul sea, like fierce sunlight shining on ice and snow.

Bathed in the starlight from the seven Heaven Eyes, the creeping mountains of corpses and seas of blood rapidly vaporized and disappeared.
