Chapter 1018: Magic Idol with Divine Migh (1/2)
Nie Tian had always known that this senior martial sister of his had cultivation talent he couldn’t fathom.
He knew that she must have become even stronger after obtaining that Heaven Nourished grade spatial treasure from the Shatter Battlefield, and receiving the Void Spirit Society sectmaster’s dedicated guidance.
Her rapid advance in cultivation during the recent years proved this.
However, he was still deeply shaken as he saw her wield her Ethereal Swords to reap lives, displaying her unparalleled battle prowess.
He simply couldn’t believe Pei Qiqi had already become so mighty.
Those Nether Spirit Society disciples were also at the Soul realm, yet they died one after another as she launched attacks.
Not only were their bodies cut to pieces, but even their souls were annihilated by her Ethereal Swords. Not a single wisp survived.
It was as if all of their discarnate souls were carried to some unknown dimension by the Ethereal Swords, and could never return again.
This meant none of the Nether Spirit Society disciples that had died at Pei Qiqi’s hands would have a chance at being reborn.
Huang Jinnan was also flabbergasted by Pei Qiqi’s battle prowess.
Holding his long golden spear, he had just executed a middle Soul realm Nether Spirit Society disciple. While regathering his spiritual power, he saw pieces of dead Nether Spirit Society disciples raining from the sky.
Pei Qiqi’s cultivation base was at the middle Soul realm, which was only slightly higher than his.
However, the damage she had inflicted on the Nether Spirit Society disciples far exceeded his.
Within such a short time, more than a dozen Soul realm Nether Spirit Society disciples had died at her hands. Even the three early Void domain disciples had their domains badly damaged.
Even though they themselves had survived her attacks, the very foundation of their strength had been shaken.
Huang Jinnan took a deep breath and muttered to himself somewhat bitterly, “The Void Spirit Society will have a brighter future because of her. Their sectmaster went to great lengths to find her in the boundless starry river and make her his fourth legacy disciple. The man really has eyes for talent.”
Meanwhile, the slaughter went on.
Soon, the majority of the newly-arrived Nether Spirit Society disciples died at Pei Qiqi’s hands.
Even the three early Void domain experts were terrified by the scene. Their faces grew ghastly as they stared at Pei Qiqi, as if they were looking at Death.
Pei Qiqi’s ethereal figure appeared in the air, as if she had just come from another space. “That’s all you’ve got?”
Her figure seemed to be looming behind ripples of spatial fluctuations, appearing and disappearing from time to time.
Every time she appeared, a Nether Spirit Society disciple would die and crash to the ground.
Huang Jinnan soon realized that this battle didn’t need him anymore.
Pei Qiqi was more than capable of defeating the new arrivals single-handedly.
Touching his nose, Nie Tian muttered with a dry smile, “She doesn’t seem to need my help at all. All I need to do is have the five evil spirits tear that nether bridge down, and then my job will be done.”
Originally, he had planned to kill an early Void domain opponent with the Star Behemoth bone.
But who would have thought Pei Qiqi had already become such a deadly fighter?
“Hmm?”
He soon noticed that as the Nether Spirit Society disciples died, a large number of nether spirits lost their masters, but they were all summoned by the man who was in desperate need of more nether spirits.
Nether spirits that filled the sky rapidly answered his summons and swarmed into his nether bridge.
His trouble was solved for the time being.
All eight nether bridges became solid and unbreakable again. Other than the Nether Spirit Society disciples, Zhao Heng, and Ling You, everyone else present continued slowly losing their soul power to the bridges.
For Zhao Heng and Ling You, they wouldn’t be affected as long as they didn’t send their soul power out of their seas of awareness.
However, once they cast any soul-related incantations, some of the soul power they sent out would be channeled away, stopping them from displaying the full might of those incantations.
The battle came to a deadlock.
Enveloped in their damaged domains, the three early Void domain Nether Spirit Society disciples gathered up to communicate with each other on a soul level.
“She seems to be a chosen one of the Void Spirit Society!”
“She must be one of the sectmaster’s legacy disciples! But the sectmaster of the Void Spirit Society only has three legacy disciples, and all of them are male. What’s her deal?”
“Don’t tell me that she’s his illegitimate child? As we know, he only had a son, who died a long time ago...”
“Why don’t we create a spell formation together to trap her?”
“Good idea!”
After a brief communication, the three early Void domain experts merged their domains in midair.
Since the three of them practiced the same power and incantations, their domains had a lot in common, which made it easy for them to merge.
Soon after their domains became one, all of the holes the Ethereal Swords had made in them vanished.
Their new, merged domain was larger, and the nether power within it was more refined.
A large number of nether spirits could be seen squirming within it, giving it the look of a huge sphere filled with thick clouds.
BOOM!
Their enormous domain descended, instantly enveloping all of the spatial fluctuations Pei Qiqi had unleashed.
