Chapter 883: Meeting Obstacles (1/2)

Nie Tian flew into the square in a split second.

HOWL! HOWL!

The evil spirits’ howls were ear-piercingly loud, as if they were going to destroy the heavens and shatter the earth.

As powerful as Huang Jinnan was, his face distorted after he was impacted by the roars of so many evil spirits.

Like a crown, his golden lotus floated quietly over his head.

It suddenly unleashed glorious golden light that fell and enveloped him like a curtain of jewels, protecting him from the evil spirits’ fierce screeches.

At the same time, the ghouls that roamed the square also flooded towards them, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.

The golden spear within Huang Jinnan’s hand seemed to morph into a dragon forged from pure gold that followed his commands and ripped the incoming ghouls to pieces.

As soon as Nie Tian flew onto the battlefield, he summoned the Spirit Pearl without hesitation.

Countless discarnate souls could be seen swarming within the cyan pearl. Its soul, which had been refined from the soul of a ninth grade Phantasm grand patriarch, grew very excited.

The shimmering cyan light it emanated had a subduing effect on spirits and souls of all forms. The weaker evil spirits cowered the moment they saw it.

However, some of the more powerful evil spirits didn’t shrink in the slightest when facing the Spirit Pearl.

Judging from their looks, a handful of them seemed to have been transformed from dead Phantasms’ discarnate souls.

They appeared to be immune to the Spirit Pearl to a large extent as they flew right into the cyan light towards Nie Tian.

Rage, grudges, fear, a thirst for killing, and other negative emotions the evil spirits had experienced right before their deaths instantly flooded Nie Tian.

One illusory image after another entered his mind, all of which were images of the last thing the evil spirits had seen before their deaths. They gave rise to great waves in Nie Tian’s calm mind as a strong thirst for blood soared uncontrollably in his heart.

The shimmering starlight suddenly vanished from Nie Tian’s pupils.

What took its place was a shade of blood-red.

BOOOM!

Without any intention of his own, his Life Strengthening bloodline talent was activated. His muscles bulged up, while a scaly layer formed over his whole body.

Pupils blood-red, he let out a frenzied roar as he ignored the incoming evil spirits, but instead pounced towards Huang Jinnan.

“Nie Tian!” An exclamation escaped Huang Jinnan’s mouth as numerous golden magical symbols flew out of the golden lotus floating over him like butterflies.

Upon contact, the golden magical symbols, which carried the profound truths of metal power, ripped the ghouls that were converging on him to pieces, like china that was dropped to the floor.

As Nie Tian, who was affected by the evil spirits’ negative emotions, was about to reach Huang Jinnan, he suddenly heard a faint soul call.

The soul call was coming from the Spirit Pearl, which was flying after him.

As the soul call grew louder, all of the negative emotions were blown out of Nie Tian’s mind like dark clouds that were scattered by a gust of wind.

Nie Tian instantly recovered a clear mind.

However, the few powerful Phantasm evil spirits flew into his sea of awareness before he knew it.

They flashed about within his sea of awareness in an attempt to capture and devour his true soul.

Growing cold with a strong sense of crisis, Nie Tian exclaimed inwardly, “Starchains!”

As his nine star souls shone with glorious light, strips of refined soul power dropped like a waterfall. After mixing with his soul awareness, they morphed into numerous glowing chains.

Then, the Starchains shot directly towards the few evil spirits, thrumming with immense, cleansing star power.

PUFF! PUFF! PUFF!

The evil spirits failed to hang on for even a second within his sea of awareness before the Starchains chained them up and reduced them to smoke that scattered into the air.

After calming down, Nie Tian hastily reestablished his soul connection with the Spirit Pearl.

Only after a brief communication with it did he learn that since the Spirit Pearl had been forged by Phantasm experts, some of the evil spirits that had transformed from dead Phantasms’ discarnate souls were immune to its confinement.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

After him and Huang Jinnan, Yin Yanan and the girls also left the Star Boat to fly into the square.

The same went for the chosen ones from the various domains who had followed Huang Jinnan into the Bloody Grave Mountain Range.

They instantly joined in the fierce battle against ghouls and evil spirits.

Thanks to them, the ghouls and evil spirits had to split up to deal with them separately, which took a lot of pressure off Huang Jinnan’s shoulders.

Nie Tian also noticed that many evil spirits were so afraid of the Spirit Pearl that they targeted the newcomers instead of him.

“Come on, Nie Tian!” Huang Jinnan shouted. “Help me take care of the evil spirits while I kill the ghouls. We have to get to the ancient altar as quickly as we can!”

He had also realized that there were simply too many evil spirits, and that Nie Tian wouldn’t be able to get rid of them all with his Spirit Pearl.
