Chapter 258 - : Rematch with the Dark Spirit (1/2)

After several hours, inside the stone-carved room above the ancient tomb.

Ye Chen handed Emperor Ming’s Belt to Tantai Ling. The belt’s color was a bright yellow. Its craftsmanship was extremely delicate and was embroidered with all types of mystical beasts. Despite looking very intimidating, it did not lose its elegance as Emperor Ming’s temperament can be seen from the belt.

Celestial Chi flowed out of the belt. One could not tell its uses from its appearance but it was probably an extremely valuable treasure.

Tantai Ling’s wounds had nearly recovered by now. She held the belt in her hands. When she moved her right hand, Water-type Celestial Chi danced around and formed a seal where it was infused into the belt.

“Why is Emperor Ming’s relics needed to suppress the dark spirit?” Ye Chen asked puzzlingly when he saw Tantai Ling infusing one mysterious seal after another into the belt.

“When someone turns into a dark spirit after dying, remnants of their memory still remain. If a dark spirit that turns hostile can recall its memories, it’ll be able to resolve its grudges and will become weakened. Then, we’ll be able to kill it.” Tantai Ling brushed Emperor Ming’s Belt with her hands. Several seals swelled around the belt and she said, “This seal is the Ocean Suppressing Seal passed down within the Sea Demon clan. It’s extremely deadly to any demonic beings.”

Ye Chen nodded, understanding a little by now. Nobody would want to become a dark spirit that can be freely manipulated by others after their death. Once their memories were awakened, the two energies within will oppose each other. Then, they could take advantage of the opening created by the opposing force.

“How do we get out of this tomb and head to kill the dark spirit?” asked Ye Chen. He was not familiar with the ancient tomb.

“There are two passages in the tomb – one leads underground and the other leads to the location of the dark spirit. To kill the dark spirit, we’ll need to pass through the stone door,” said Tantai Ling. With her current strength, she would not be able to break open the stone door. Only Ye Chen’s Celestial Chi Flying Dagger would be able to manage it but even the Celestial Chi Flying Dagger could only slowly chip away at the stone door.

Ye Chen stayed silent for a moment and said, “Let me do it then.”

After Tantai Ling had finished making preparations, they came to the stone door again.

When he looked at the stone door, Ye Chen’s heart was overwhelmed with sadness. This stone door had separated him from Little Tanuki and Little Wingsy for eternity.

Ye Chen stared at the stone door. He already had two Celestial Chi Flying Daggers materialized on his palms. Swoosh swoosh, the two daggers shot toward the stone door.

Boom boom! The Flying Daggers blasted the stone door.

Ye Chen concentrated on the Flying Daggers, forming a link between the two daggers. Boom, boom, boom! The two Flying Daggers danced up and down in the air, continuously assaulting the stone door.

Controlling two daggers at the same time using his mind was extremely exhausting for Ye Chen. As the stone door was an inanimate object, he only had to slightly control their direction. He did not have to be so precise with his aiming.

The dancing Flying Daggers were exceptionally sharp. Even with the impeccably sturdy seal on the stone door crumbled when facing the Flying Daggers. The Flying Daggers chipped away at the stone door bit by bit.

Tantai Ling looked at the dancing Flying Daggers. Imagining that if Ye Chen was able to master his control over the Flying Daggers, then even she would dread facing it.

Ye Chen maniacally attacked the stone door. The two Flying Dagger’s rapid movements resembled the motion of a sewing machine.

After half an hour had passed, a large opening the size of a person had been carved on the stone door. Ye Chen was gasping large mouthfuls of air, his body was drenched in sweat. He was exhausted. Gusts of wind from outside came blowing in through the opening.

Tantai Ling glanced at Ye Chen. Without saying anything, she walked toward the opening. Most of the time, Tantai Ling wielded a cool and icy expression.

Even though Ye Chen was exhausted, he still followed after Tantai Ling and exited the ancient tomb.

When he looked up to inspect the situation outside, Ye Chen was stunned. He saw two pieces of pearls levitating in mid-air. They were black and white respectively. Their radiant rays shone everywhere. The dark spirit approached like a dark cloud attempting to harm the two pearls but whenever it was touched by the rays of the black and white orbs, the dark spirit had to retreat.

The black-colored pearl was the Soul Pearl and the white-colored pearl was the Illusionary Pearl!

When Ye Chen witnessed the scene, his heart shuddered. What if Little Tanuki and Little Wingsy did not die? Or maybe Little Tanuki and Little Wingsy left behind the two pearls after they died?

Ye Chen recalled that Little Tanuki once used the Illusionary Pearl to take in the Soul Pearl. Maybe the Illusionary Pearl had a space within it similar to the Heavenly Astra Seal? Little Tanuki could have hidden inside the Illusionary Pearl!

When he thought of this, Ye Chen’s heart that had given up was once again reignited with a glimmer of hope. ‘Please God, let Little Tanuki and Little Wingsy be alive!’

The dark spirit seemed to have trapped the Illusionary Pearl and the Soul Pearl as these two pearls were unable to move from their spot. When the dark spirit noticed Ye Chen and Tantai Ling appearing again, it immediately let out a sharp and terrible shriek before pouncing toward Ye Chen and Tantai Ling.

Tantai Ling held up her trident and leaped toward the dark spirit.

“You lot still dare to return. I’ll kill you all!” The dark spirit formed gigantic sharp claws. It clawed toward Tantai Ling like a huge dark cloud looming over her.

“Demons like you shouldn’t remain in this world. Face your death!” Tantai Ling unleashed a beam of Divine Ray which struck the claws of the dark spirit. A loud booming explosion followed.

The dark spirit only trembled slightly but it did not take much damage. It shrieked horrifically again and charged toward Tantai Ling.

Ye Chen’s eyes were burning with boiling rage. It was this dark spirit that let him experience the pain of losing life for the first time. “Swoosh swoosh!” Two Celestial Chi Flying Daggers shot toward the dark spirit.
