From inside the crystal stone, an aura that could shake the soul was revealed, making Ye Haochuan’s interest in it increase dramatically.
The Xuanming Sect primarily focuses on soul cultivation techniques. It is certain that this crystal stone must be a high-level soul treasure.
Ye Haochuan didn’t know whether this magical treasure would be of use to him, but with the professional attitude that one should never miss a magical treasure, he was determined to obtain it.
Once the crystal stone was placed on the stand, all the cultivators around adopted a more reverent attitude and started to slowly back away. Until they retreated to the edge of the grand hall, they saw the woman recite a spell.
In the next mont, countless golden patterns unexpectedly flashed across the entire grand hall. Following this, a defensive array quickly rose up, but then just as quickly disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Ye Haochuan wasn’t foolish enough to believe this great formation had vanished; he knew that it had simply concealed itself. As soon as soone intrudes, they would be instantly pulverized.
If it were an ordinary person, after seeing this array appear, they would probably opt to give up. But Ye Haochuan showed no intention of retreating.
"Miss, should we leave soone here to guard?" a Nascent Soul Peak cultivator suddenly spoke up from the group.
The masked woman pondered for a mont and finally shook her head, saying, "No need, with the great formation here, even a Nascent Soul Peak cultivator would undoubtedly perish! You’ve all been busy for several days, go back and rest!"
Upon hearing this, the group seed relieved, bowed to the woman, then quickly turned and left.
The woman looked once more at the crystal stone within the great formation, her gaze sowhat complex. She sighed at last and turned away.
The entire grand hall was then left with only Ye Haochuan.
"This concealnt ability can bypass cultivators’ perception, but can it bypass the array’s perception?" Ye Haochuan muttered quietly.
The activation of formations is often triggered by sensing intruders. The reason Ye Haochuan didn’t leave was that he had concealnt ability in his hand as a trump card.
However, he was still sowhat hesitant at the mont.
From the woman’s tone, this great formation could easily kill even Nascent Soul Peak masters. If his concealnt ability failed to work, he would face certain death.
Should he try? It’s fraught with risks. But if he doesn’t, he’ll be very regretful.
Ye Haochuan was completely entangled in a dilemma.
"Damn it, let’s go for it. Wealth cos from danger; without risk, how can one reap rewards?"
Ultimately, his intrinsic adventurous spirit successfully conquered the hesitance within his heart.
Ye Haochuan gritted his teeth and finally stepped forward into the great array’s range.
Just then, the golden patterns on the floor suddenly lit up.
Oh crap, could I be so unlucky?
Ye Haochuan broke out in a cold sweat instantly, the words "Heaven-Penetrating Barrier" were already at his lips, ready to burst forth.
Nevertheless, he knew that with the power of this great formation, using the Heaven-Penetrating Barrier would inevitably deplete all his vitality.
However, this was his last ans of survival; using it made him feel a bit more relieved.
At the height of his cold sweat soaking him through, the golden patterns on the ground suddenly dimd.
Damn, it nearly scared to death. Two of my three souls almost got frightened away!
Ye Haochuan instantly let out a sigh of relief.
But at this mont, the patterns lit up again.
What the heck is going on this ti?
Ye Haochuan’s hair stood on end once more; the tension reached the pinnacle.
But the next mont, the golden light dimd again.
Damn it, you can’t scare people like this! I’m nearly getting heart disease!
Ye Haochuan nearly cursed, frightened twice over, this heart-pounding terror made him almost want to cry.
But he quickly understood that the great formation must have detected a trace of his aura. Yet this aura was too weak to successfully trigger the formation, leading to the scene before him.
Realizing this, Ye Haochuan completely relaxed, swaggering over to the stone pillar.
Yet as he placed his hand on the crystal stone, an unexpected change arose.
His soul encountered a strong oppressive force, trembling uncontrollably, making him incapable of controlling his body.
Simultaneously, he felt his soul being rapidly absorbed by the crystal stone; in a brief instant, nearly half was drawn away.
Holy crap, does it have to be so fierce?
Ye Haochuan was horrified, hurriedly gathering his soul to prevent further loss.
But soon, he realized it was all in vain. The suction force was so formidable that he couldn’t resist it.
Damn, am I on the path to ruin?
Ye Haochuan’s heart instantly chilled; he never imagined that the danger he feared would co from the great formation, while he would instead end up dead from the very "treasure" he was about to acquire.
It was akin to seeing a top-class beauty, having her on the ground, stripped bare; just when preparing to relish, she bit off the crucial part.
That abrupt transition from hope to despair, Ye Haochuan now deeply experienced.
"No, I cannot perish so easily! So many won adore , waiting for to send them to ’Heaven’; so many beautiful maidens are waiting for my attention. If I just leave like this, what will happen to them?"
Ye Haochuan’s spirit instantly surged, his soul fiercely struggled, driven by the intense desire to survive, tearing at his soul with fortitude.
As he was nearly losing strength, a wisp of blue spiritual energy unexpectedly burst forth from his right palm, wrapping around his body.
When the blue aura enveloped his body, it swiftly enshrouded his soul too.
At that mont, Ye Haochuan found his soul transford into a pale blue skeletal form.
The skeletal form of his soul, impelled by Ye Haochuan’s strong survival instinct, suddenly opened wide its mouth.
Hiss~
With a soft sound, the soul that had been absorbed by the crystal stone returned in an instant.
Having done this, the skeletal soul seed unsatisfied, inhaled again, this ti drawing out quite a bit of soul from within the crystal stone.
Soon, Ye Haochuan’s soul increased by a full third.
Seeing the skeletal soul still tantalizing for more, Ye Haochuan hurriedly controlled his soul, no longer absorbing.
This action of his soul devouring other souls could certainly enhance itself, but it must have its limits.
If too much is absorbed beyond one’s capacity for digestion, it may cause the external soul to disrupt one’s own, even leading to severe disintegration.
Ye Haochuan thought his soul underwent such a mutation, would surely prove challenging to manage.
Unexpectedly, when his command was issued, the blue skeletal soul imdiately halted, its form changed back.
If not for the residual trace of blue aura within his soul, he’d think it was all a dream.
Ye Haochuan looked at his right hand with shock, that initial blue crystal stone integrated into his hand had altered his spiritual energy, yet unexpectedly today it also transford his soul.
The skeletal form made him sowhat uneasy, unsure whether this change was beneficial or detrintal.
Just as he was absorbed in his transformation, a sharp voice suddenly sounded from behind.
"Thief, put down the Soul Absorption Jewel!"
