Chapter 714: Souls Losing Control (1/2)

The Spirit Pearl had been forged by the Phantasms. It had an unusually strong restraining force on souls. It was almost impossible for souls to break free once they were trapped inside.

Furthermore, those souls had lost all of their memories. All they had left were negative emotions.

Not once had a single soul broken free from the Spirit Pearl since Nie Tian had come to own it.

However, now in this place, those powerful discarnate souls somehow broke free from the restraints and flew out of the Spirit Pearl.

SHEW! SHEW! SHEW!

One discarnate soul after another flew directly towards the lake like streaks of gray smoke.

Meanwhile, the Spirit Pearl was still in Nie Tian’s ring of holding.

Nie Tian gasped at the scene.

He glanced around with rapt attention, but couldn’t see Qiao Yunxi anywhere.

At this moment, the nearly one thousand Qi warriors that were gathered by the lake were all holding their heads and howling in pain.

Nie Tian’s true soul, which hadn’t taken a distinct form yet, also seemed to be dragged by an invisible chain, and wanted to leave his sea of awareness.

At his moment, the nine fragmentary stars that hung high over his sea of awareness suddenly shone as dazzlingly as diamonds.

One wisp of cleansing star power after another poured down from the fragmentary stars and bound his true soul firmly.

His true soul seemed as if it had taken root in his sea of awareness, and couldn’t be moved in the slightest again.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Numerous wisps of souls rose from the tops of many Qi warriors’ heads and gradually flew towards the lake, as if they were attracted by some mysterious force.

“What the...?!” Frowning, Nie Tian dashed off in the lake’s direction, hoping to learn what was happening.

As he did, he saw the several powerful discarnate souls, which had broken free from the Spirit Pearl, devouring the Qi warriors’ souls that had risen into the air while flying towards the lake.

Afterwards, those discarnate souls became even stronger.

“Get away from the lake!” Wei Yu from the Trisword Sect called out, a streak of golden light shooting out of his cuff as he did.

Carrying an immense aura, the streak of light rapidly expanded, turning into a huge, golden sword that floated high over Wei Yu’s head.

Like golden raindrops, sparks fell off the huge, mountain-like sword, each drop containing fine magical symbols.

FIZZ! FIZZ!

The golden sparks then rained down on the powerful discarnate souls in an attempt to intercept and annihilate them.

As the fierce discarnate souls were touched by the golden sparks, holes appeared on their illusory bodies, as if they were pieces of ice that were exposed to a rain of bits of melted metal.

However, the few discarnate souls rapidly changed direction and flew out of the golden sparks’ attacking range. They pounced on the Qi warriors’ souls that had risen into the air in an even fiercer manner.

It seemed as if these discarnate souls had been vested with some kind of power on this strange meteor.

Hong Xian from the Beast-controlling Sect, Chu Xuanji from the Chu Clan, and the other Soul realm experts all brought out their most powerful magics.

Since their souls were much stronger than the others, they were able to resist the mysterious attractive force from the lake. They either formed spell formations to protect their weak sect members or attacked those powerful discarnate souls with their spiritual tools.

“They probably still don’t know that those discarnate souls came from my possession,” Nie Tian thought to himself.

He grew more and more cautious as he slowly approached the lakeside.

“Ahh!!!” Qiao Yunxi’s sharp scream echoed out from a location not far from him.
