Chapter 1719: Tremendous Changes (1/2)
Qu Yi was the sectmaster of the Void Spirit Society. His understanding and mastery of spatial power was unmatched throughout the Mortal World.
The Void Mirror he wielded allowed him to go anywhere at any time in the Mortal World.
As long as he wanted, he could travel from one domain to another in a split second.
Because of that, he was considered the one human that was the most difficult to kill.
Even if his enemy had a superior cultivation base than his, even if he was surrounded by mighty experts, he could escape as long as he wanted to.
Given his abilities, even if the top three grand monarchs in the Void World had teamed up against him, they wouldn’t have been able to trap him, as long as the battle had taken place in the Mortal World.
How had Ji Cang managed to destroy his fleshly body, leaving only a wisp of his soul behind?
“Qiqi...” Qu Yi’s soul voice seemed to be coming from another space.
His soul shadow started to emerge in the mirror.
However, changes suddenly took place!
A very tiny Fragmentary Star suddenly manifested in the Void Mirror, bursting forth with blinding starlight!
POOH!
Qu Yi’s emerging soul shadow was immediately annihilated like a wisp of smoke!
“No!!” Pei Qiqi screamed like a mad person before hastily fusing wisps of azure light into the mirror in an attempt to salvage him.
However, her effort was futile.
Face very grim, Nie Tian bellowed, “Ji Cang!”
“Sorry, he knows too much. I can’t let him live.” Ji Cang’s ethereal voice echoed out from the distance.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
The five evil gods flew out one after another, and started searching around by relying on their keen soul perception.
WHOOSH!
Even the Rampage Behemoth’s bone that Nie Tian had strengthened with his life bloodline flew out under Nie Tian’s command to capture Ji Cang’s life aura and determine his whereabouts.
Nie Tian himself, who was in fury, also activated his Life Detection bloodline talent and soul detection.
Meanwhile, Ji Cang’s ethereal voice was still echoing in the air. “Qu Yi escaped to another space with a wisp of his soul essence through the Void Mirror. He thought I didn’t know. Hehe, I hid a Fragmentary Star in the Void Mirror after shattering its soul just to wait for his wisp of soul essence to return.
“In a manner of speaking, I have to thank Miss Pei. If he hadn’t sensed your aura and if you hadn’t tried to fix the Void Mirror’s soul, his wisp of soul essence wouldn’t have had the audacity to return so quickly through the Void Mirror.
“Of course, he did it because he wanted to tell you something, and he wanted you to help him find an opportunity to be reincarnated through that wisp of soul essence. However...”
Ji Cang’s voice finally became too faint to hear.
However, that exploded Fragmentary Star sputtered out small but terrifyingly mighty wisps of refined star power.
Like tiny swords made of starlight, they slashed and annihilated the residual fragments of the Void Mirror’s soul.
As this happened, numerous fissures ripped through the surface of the invaluable spatial treasure of the Void Spirit Society, the Immortal grade divine tool that had helped Qu Yi earn his name.
Even the mirror itself was damaged as its soul suffered another heavy blow, probably beyond salvation, from the starlight created by the explosion of the Fragmentary Star.
The five evil gods and the crimson bone conducted a thorough scan of a five hundred kilometer radius around them, but failed to find Ji Cang.
Pei Qiqi held the Void Mirror with both hands, tears filling her eyes. “He... He died because of me...”
Dong Li sighed and said, “You have nothing to do with it. That sectmaster of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace is such a scary figure. He set you up long ago. Once your master failed to resist the temptation to talk to you, and his escaped wisp of soul essence returned to the Void Mirror from another space, he would know about it, and that Fragmentary Star would be detonated...
“He’s the strongest cultivator in the Mortal World, for heaven’s sake. Why did he have to fight his own kind instead of the outsiders in the Void World?
“Given his powers and ruthlessness, even Grand Monarch Heaven Devil and Grand Monarch Soul Capturer would have had a headache if he had been bent on fighting the three major races of the Void World.
“Why did he have to do this?”
Dong Li couldn’t figure out an answer.
