Chapter 559: Soul Burning Seals

Nie Tian was aware that neither Armes nor himself had gone all-out to kill each other over the past few days.

During those battles, he hadn’t used his Flame Star, Flame Dragon Armor, Heavenly Wood Thorns, or other exquisite spiritual incantations.

Similarly, Armes hadn’t unleashed the Phantasm’s most powerful soul magics and bloodline talents.

They had fought with nothing but their flesh power, trying to finish each other off in the most brutal and violent way.

Armes always had great confidence in himself, and believed that he would be able to overtake Nie Tian simply by relying on his tough body and profound flesh power.

However, now that Nie Tian had crystallized his bones with Heavenly Wood Heal, Armes finally realized that he would have to bring out more powerful means in order to overtake him.

Thus, he abandoned the most primitive means of battle, and instead resorted to the Phantasm’s bloodline power, which had allowed their race to rise to prominence and overshadow numerous other races.

A fine suit of armor gradually come to form over Armes, as if it had appeared out of thin air. Countless detailed patterns could be seen branded on the armor, which seemed to be somehow connected to Armes’ meridians.

The moment the armor appeared, Armes’ aura of flesh and blood instantly skyrocketed.

At the same time, his eyes and the prismatic crystal between his eyebrows started to shine with intimidating cyan light.

All of a sudden, three clusters of light that were only the size of thumbs flew out of each of his eyes and the prismatic crystal between his eyebrows.

Armes slapped his own chest and spit out a mouthful of blood, which instantly split into three strings and infused into the three beans of cyan light.

Immediately afterwards, the three clusters of light started to burn with ghostly cyan flames.

Wreathed in gruesome and frosty auras, they floated towards Nie Tian.

“Have a taste of my bloodline power!” Armes roared.

Like demons’ eyes, the three clusters of ghostly flames floated in completely unpredictable paths towards Nie Tian.

Watch them floating closer and closer, Nie Tian felt a strong sense of danger. Expression flickering, he attempted to examine them with his psychic awareness.

FIZZ! FIZZ! FIZZ!

His psychic awareness was set on fire as soon as it made contact with the three clusters of strange flames.

Experiencing a stabbing pain in his mind, Nie Tian quickly discovered that his psychic awareness had been eliminated like a couple of snowflakes that had been vaporized by blazing flames.

A disdainful expression appeared on Armes’ face as Nie Tian’s reflection appeared in each of his eyes and the prismatic crystal between his eyebrows. “You haven’t even entered the Worldly realm and developed soul power! With what do you plan to resist my Soul Burning Seals?!”

At this moment, Nie Tian was hit by a feeling that, no matter where he went, as long as he remained in Armes’ sight, he would have no way of escaping the pursuit of those three clusters of ghostly flames.

With a grim expression, he summoned the Flame Star and formed a chaotic magnetic field around him.

With a few vigorous swings of the Flame Star, he sent out blade lights, along with thunderous sounds that seemed as if they could split heaven and earth.

However, the blade lights shot right through the incoming ghostly flames like cutting through air. The clusters of cyan flames seemed completely unaffected as they continued to float towards him, burning as strongly as ever. “Our bloodline magics perfectly match the use of our soul power. You can’t neutralize them unless you possess soul power or practice lighting-attributed incantations.”

With a sinister smile on his face, Armes looked coldly at Nie Tian, waiting for his cyan flames to hit Nie Tian, as if he could see Nie Tian’s soul being breached by his Soul Burning Seals and reduced to to a sea of blazing flames until all of his memories, thoughts, and awareness were burned away.

“Damn Phantasms!” Having failed to affect the three clusters of ghostly flames in the slightest with the blade lights that were infused with his various powers, Nie Tian finally realized how powerful Armes’ Soul Burning Seals were.

They were the product of the perfect fusion of Armes’ soul power and unique bloodline talents, making them completely different from the soul attacks he had seen before. This was what soul magics should be like.

Unlike humans, Phantasms didn’t have to wait till they rose to certain grade to develop the ability to practice soul power.

They were born with incomparably strong souls. As they grew and cultivated, they would gradually awaken their bloodline talents, and thus acquire the ability to channel soul power and cast powerful soul magics.

This was what the Phantasms had relied on to stand out from among so many outsider races.

“Only with lightning magics or similarly profound soul magics will I be able to resist his soul attacks...” As his train of thought came to this point, Nie Tian realized that he would have to resort to his soul power.

Eyes fixed on the blazing ghostly flames that were floating closer and closer, he concentrated his awareness on the nine fragmentary stars in his soul.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
