Chapter 936: Solving the Spell Formation (2/2)
Upon seeing the five fierce spirits, even Jing Feiyang, who was high in the sky, exclaimed softly, “Those spirits seem to be heading to the surrounding mountains to catch something!”
A few seconds later, his expression flickered strongly. “They’re catching and devouring discarnate souls!”
Duan Shihu was taken aback. “Discarnate souls?”
“The Spirit-sealing Frozen Mountains Formation is actually a deadly grand spell formation.” Jing Feiyang explained. “Over hundreds of thousands of years, countless people have died in it! The remains of the dead were left in those frozen mountains. Under the profound influence of the grand spell formation, their discarnate souls didn’t fully dissipate into heaven and earth. Instead, they were trapped inside the mountains.
“Patriarch Icy Crystal did this so that he could make use of the power of those discarnate souls. Their existence vested the grand spell formation with a strong soul-restraining power.
“If Nie Tian’s soul awareness leaves his sea of awareness, his judgment will instantly be clouded, stopping him from telling what’s real and what isn’t.
“However, the spirits Nie Tian unleashed just now seem to have the ability to devour discarnate souls, so they headed directly towards those mountains.”
Overjoyed, Duan Shihu asked, “So will they help Nie Tian break the spell formation?”
“I don’t know about that, but their appearance is definitely good news for us!” Jing Feiyang said, looking spirited as well.
The five fierce spirits spread out and flew to the nearby mountains, following some instinct.
Apparently, they had no problem reaching places that Nie Tian couldn’t see or go.
As they approached the frozen mountains, the snow suddenly slid down the mountains’ surface, which turned out to be smooth and clear like mirrors, revealing numerous blurry faces inside of them.
The faces were the discarnate souls that had been sealed within the mountains by the Spirit-sealing Frozen Mountains Formation.
Like diving into the ocean, the five fierce spirits flew into the mountains.
The discarnate souls trapped inside the crystal-clear mountains couldn’t resist the five fierce spirit in the slightest. They were devoured by the hundreds, as if they were being preyed upon by their natural enemies.
A profound soul-restraining effect that had enveloped this entire area was suddenly broken, like an egg dropped to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Nie Tian realized that he was finally able to examine his surroundings with his soul awareness.
With an overjoyed look on his face, he hastily formed his Heaven Eyes again.
This time, they weren’t suppressed or influenced in any way, but rather lit up the mist-wreathed ground like nine bright, shining stars.
“Finally, a direction!” With the vision his Heaven Eyes gave him, Nie Tian cast a Starshift. Like a falling star that streaked across the night sky, he arrived in front of Patriarch Icy Crystal in the blink of an eye.
Inside the ice prison, Zhao Luofeng couldn’t help but exclaim ecstatically, “Nie Tian!”
CRACK! CRACK!
The mountains that had formed the Spirit-sealing Frozen Mountains Formation cracked. Giant boulders started to roll down their surfaces.
Deafening rumbles filled the air, alarming even the Heavenly Ice Sect disciples who were garrisoned in locations hundreds of kilometers away.
“What’s happening?!”
“Why are the crystal-clear mountains the patriarch used to form the Spirit-sealing Frozen Mountains Formation suddenly shaking so violently?”
“Don’t tell me Jing Feiyang from the Divine Seal Sect has initiated an attack?”
“This is the Realm of Crystal Snow, deep in our sect’s territory. If the Divine Seal Sect dares to act rashly here, death will be their punishment.”
Numerous Heavenly Ice Sect disciples ignored their orders to stay put, and converged on the mountain valley from all directions.
At the very center of the mountain valley, Nie Tian stood in front of a piece of solid ice. He slammed it with his fist that looked like a hammer.
BOOM!
His punch didn’t break the solid ice, only giving rise to a loud boom.
Without paying attention to the ecstasy in the eyes of Fan Kai and the others, Nie Tian stared Patriarch Icy Crystal in the eyes. “I’m standing here, and I touched this piece of ice. As we agreed, you need to free them now!”
Various expressions flashed across Patriarch Icy Crystal’s face. With an exasperated snort, he jerked around and shot towards one of the surrounding mountains.
However, the discarnate souls of those who had died in the grand spell formation over hundreds of thousands of years suddenly broke free from the confinement of the mountains.
The five fierce spirits chased after and devoured them like sharks preying on shoals of fish.
Upon seeing this, Patriarch Icy Crystal let out frenzied roars, as if he had suddenly forgotten the deal he had made with Nie Tian. “My Spirit-sealing Frozen Mountains Formation!”
