Chapter 770: Merging ‘Domains’ (1/2)

Nie Tian raised the semitransparent cyan Spirit Pearl towards Ke Jinpeng and the other experts’ true souls.

The soul within the Spirit Pearl, which had been refined from the soul of a ninth grade Phantasm grand patriarch, suddenly grew excited, like a shark that had sniffed blood.

Misty cyan fluctuations instantly spread out from the mysterious pearl.

The cyan waves rapidly spread to Ke Jinpeng’s true soul, which was still giving out soul roars, and caused it to shriek miserably.

Sha Yan and the other experts’ true souls were also influenced by the pearl, and started to move uncontrollably towards it.

They had been Void domain experts. Even though they had lost their fleshly bodies, they would still pose a great threat to cultivators with low cultivation bases.

However, this clearly didn’t apply to Nie Tian, who had the Spirit Pearl in his hand.

Ke Jinpeng and the other experts’ true souls screamed unceasingly as they moved uncontrollably towards the Spirit Pearl. At the same time, their originally distinct shapes rapidly grew blurry.

Then, wisps of memories were quickly separated from their true souls and dissipated into heaven and earth.

In merely ten seconds, their true souls were bereft of any memories.

SHEW! SHEW! SHEW!

One after another, they were forcibly channeled into the Spirit Pearl, where they were split into numerous fragmented souls.

If these souls remained intact, they would still be very powerful.

But once they were cut to pieces, these fragmented souls would be much weaker.

As soon as Nie Tian sent a wisp of his awareness into the Spirit Pearl, he discovered that Ke Jinpeng and the other experts’ fragmented souls were fleeing about.

The discarnate souls that were originally in the Spirit Pearl, however, seemed to become driven by some force, and began chasing after the fragmented souls everywhere.

At the same time, Nie Tian noticed that five spherical golden bubbles gradually rose from Ke Jinpeng and the other experts smashed corpses.

They seemed to be their ‘private domains’, which they had forged themselves.

However, they were illusory and fragile, like reflections on water, as if they could burst at any moment.

Golden sword lights, which were branded with the profound truths of metal power, could still be seen within the golden bubbles. They didn’t perish with Ke Jinpeng and the other experts’ fleshly bodies.

WHOOSH!

Five golden bubbles floated towards the region where there stood numerous lofty, golden mountain peaks.

“Hmm?!” Puzzled, Nie Tian flew after them on his Star Boat.

Soon, the five bubbles arrived at the region that was filled with metal power.

The earth glimmered with faint golden light, and numerous mysterious spell formations began to be carved into the depths of the mountain peaks.

One golden bubble after another merged with the golden earth and mountain peaks like drops of water. Ke Jinpeng’s lifetime understanding of metal power and his sword intent that he had spent his entire lifetime cultivating seemed to be slowly carved into the region, and became a part of it.

Nie Tian put the Spirit Pearl away and conducted a thorough scan of the region. He discovered that many golden patterns were added to the earth and mountains since the disappearance of the five golden bubbles.

Many of the golden patterns were of swords, and contained strong sword intent.

“I can’t believe their private domains actually merged with the metal-attributed region!” Yue Yanxi’s soul voice rang out as a cluster of crimson mist appeared in the air, which rapidly morphed to take Yue Yanxi’s shape.

Immediately afterwards, Guan Fu and Jian Tong’s soul shadows appeared after Yue Yanxi’s.

Surprised, Nie Tian asked, “What?! Their private domains still existed after their bodies and souls were both eliminated?!”

“Only in certain magical places is it possible for Void domain experts’ private domains to persist after their deaths,” Yue Yanxi explained through his soul shadow. “For example, Master Voidspirit died in the space disruption zone. Since many of the incantations and magics he practiced were spatial power-related, his domain shared similar traits with that space disruption zone.
