Chapter 865: The Spirit Pearl’s Magical Uses (1/2)

There were more than a dozen evil spirits this time.

Each and every one of them was quite large, and carried strong grudges, making them fiercer than the ones Nie Tian had seen before.

Obviously, the evil spirits’ original target had been the young man.

He had probably drawn them here intentionally in order to have them kill Nie Tian and the others.

However, now that the young man had left, the evil spirits would only go after living beings with strong flesh auras.

Nie Tian and the three girls thus became their new targets.

“There’s so many of them!” Gazing in the direction the young man had left in, Yin Yanan called out angrily, “Nie Tian! I don’t have enough thunderballs left on me. Why don’t you try to deal with these evil spirits?”

Mu Biqiong, who was standing off to the side, was surprised to see that she had directly given the tough task to Nie Tian.

Mu Biqiong’s eyes lit up as she suddenly realized something. Then, she turned to Nie Tian and said, “Nie Tian, you can handle them.”

She had suddenly remembered the cyan pearl Nie Tian had used to deal with Pergson the Bonebrute, Froste the Phantasm, and Gutas the Demon.

That pearl of his had somehow overtaken Froste’s enormous skull made of discarnate souls, which seemed to be a very powerful treasure of the Phantasms.

These evil spirits were also transformed from discarnate souls. If that pearl had been able to overtake that magical treasure forged by Phantasm experts, it would probably have the same effect on these evil spirits.

“Let me see. I suppose it won’t be very hard.” With these words, Nie Tian took out the Spirit Pearl and flew back into Xie Wanting’s air-transportation spiritual tool.

With loud whooshes, the evil spirits flew directly towards them. However, as they approached Nie Tian, they seemed to sense something, and hastily circled back.

At this moment, the Spirit Pearl was emanating a mysterious cyan light. If they looked closely, they could see thousands of shadows swirling inside of it.

Nie Tian sent a wisp of his soul awareness to communicate with the Spirit Pearl’s soul.

The soul floated in the middle of the Spirit Pearl with numerous discarnate souls gathered around it. At this moment, it seemed to be summoning power and manipulating the discarnate souls to swirl up in order to activate a profound Phantasm magic, Grand Soul Grinder, which could strangle all forms of souls and spirits.

All of a sudden, a strong attractive force was born within the Spirit Pearl.

The evil spirits instantly sensed danger, and flew away from Nie Tian with panicked shrieks.

In the blink of an eye, all of the evil spirits fled and vanished into the distant sky.

Astonished, Xie Wanting gazed unblinkingly at the pearl in Nie Tian’s hand and asked, “Is that some soul treasure?”

Nie Tian nodded. “I got it from some Phantasms.”

“But... how are you able to use a treasure forged by Phantasms?” Xie Wanting asked, looked confused.

“I don’t know either,” Nie Tian said, smiling.

Since the Spirit Pearl didn’t contain any flesh power, it didn’t trigger any changes in the tainted energies around Nie Tian. Holding it in his hand, he glanced around to make sure that all of the evil spirits had left. Only then did he put his mind at ease and say, “It seems that I’ll be able to handle evil spirits with the help of this thing in the Bloody Grave Mountain Range from now on.”

“Alright,” Yin Yanan said. “You just handle the evil spirits. Leave the ghouls to us.”

With slightly furrowed eyebrows, Mu Biqiong asked, “I wonder why that young man killed all of his companions, and what he was after by asking to join us.”

“From the look of it, he has no problem handling evil spirits with that powerful treasure of his,” Nie Tian said with a thoughtful expression. “Only if he ran into ghouls would he face some real threat.I suppose the reason why he wanted to join us was because he was after our valuables, but who knows? Perhaps we’ll see him again and find out.”

“The man’s not easy to deal with,” Xie Wanting said with a worried face.

If it weren’t for Nie Tian and the girls, she wouldn’t have dared to come to the Bloody Grave Mountain Range by herself, given her battle prowess.

Then, they took some time to recuperate, and marched out again.

The Bloody Grave Mountain Range covered a vast region. Since they didn’t have a specific destination, they just traveled aimlessly.

As they did, Nie Tian unleashed his Heaven Eyes to scan their surroundings.

However, even his Heaven Eyes were greatly affected by the tainted energies that were everywhere in the Bloody Grave Mountain Range.

Multicolored tainted energies soon infiltrated his Heaven Eyes.

They were only able to scout for them for a short while before the soul power that formed their exteriors were poisoned, forcing Nie Tian to retract them.

Meanwhile, the three girls had an even more difficult time scanning their surroundings with their soul awareness.
