Chapter 170: Success!

  The Eight Extremes Evil Spirit Formation dissipated as the Blue Fiend Crystal shattered, its eight layers of light patterns disappearing one by one.

  The remaining seven demon crystals of the eight-level evil spirit formation, due to the explosion of that blue demon crystal, the energy fluctuations of the remaining seven demon crystals suddenly weakened, and the light of these seven demon crystals also quietly dimmed.

  The Eight Extremes Evil Spirit Formation was broken, and Shi Yan no longer hesitated, stretching out his hand to grab the Soul Gathering Bead.

  "Wait a minute!" Xuan Bing Han Yan hastily sent a message in the Blood Pattern Ring.

  Shi Yan was startled and his hand, which was about to grab the Soul Gathering Bead, stopped midway.

  Suddenly, countless fierce ghosts and spirits in the Soul Gathering Pool flew out of the pool water, transformed into black lights, and quickly poured into the Soul Gathering Pearl.

  "When the soul returns to its rightful place, the soul attack formed by the Soul Gathering Bead is the weakest! We can make our move now! Remember to use a fake soul to withstand one wave of the soul's impact!" Xuan Bing Han Yan hastily instructed, "Remember! Once you grab hold of the Soul Gathering Bead, immediately spit your saliva onto it! You must remember! As soon as you take hold of the Soul Gathering Bead and spit saliva on it, the bead will no longer launch a soul attack against you!"

  "Damn! How am I supposed to spit here? It's all water!"

  "I will form a layer of solid ice barrier, at the moment you grasp the Soul Gathering Bead, immediately separating you from the water flow!"

  "Good!"

  After a brief exchange with He Xuan, Shi Yan stretched out the hand that was halfway to him and snatched the Soul Gathering Bead in a flash of lightning, grasping it firmly in his palm.

  In an instant.

  Innumerable souls burst forth, like billions of sharp swords, suddenly shooting out from the Soul Gathering Bead, crazily charging towards Shi Yan's soul!

  The Soul Pearl, at the moment it was grasped by Shi Yan, seemed to have found a vent for its pent-up soul attacks, as they burst out in a frenzy, surging along Shi Yan's arm and rushing towards his brain at incredible speed.

  In a flash of lightning, Shi Yan's mind was clear and empty, without a single thought in his brain, he had entered the state of emptiness.

  It was the fake soul formed in his mind that suddenly became extremely active, emitting an extremely intense wave of hatred!

  The billions of spiritual powers that surged out of the Soul Gathering Bead immediately found their target after surging into Shi Yan's mind, and all shot at the center of his fake soul.

  The intense pain in Shi Yan's mind was like a sharp stab, the soul imprint in the heavy illusion of the fake soul was shattered by the soul impact force of the Soul Gathering Pearl, and Shi Yan's true soul also felt the same way, as if he had died countless times.

  There was a brief stagnation in the sea of consciousness, and with the shattering of the soul imprint in the fake soul, he seemed to be constantly experiencing soul death, and for a short time, the main soul did not produce a clear consciousness.

  "Spit it out!"

  At this moment, the mysterious flame in the Blood Pattern Ring suddenly transmitted a chill.

  Shi Yan suddenly woke up and immediately discovered that at some point in time, the water flow in the Soul Gathering Pool beside him had been cut off.

  He didn't think much about it and immediately spat a mouthful of saliva onto the Soul Gathering Bead in his hand.

  Something incredible happened!

  As soon as the saliva landed on the Soul Gathering Pearl, a layer of white film formed, wrapping around one-fifth of the pearl.

  "Keep spitting! But don't seal the Soul Gathering Bead!" Xuan Bing Han Yan urged again.

  Shi Yan didn't dare to hesitate, and once again spat two mouthfuls of saliva onto the Soul Gathering Bead. The two mouthfuls of saliva landed on the Soul Gathering Bead, forming a white membrane that wrapped around three-fifths of it.

  Shi Yan thought for a moment and still felt it wasn't safe enough, so he prepared to spit out another mouthful of saliva.

  "That's enough! The thin film formed by saliva, once it wraps around the Soul Gathering Bead, the bead's ability to absorb souls will be temporarily sealed!" Xuan Bing Han Yan hastily reminded as soon as he saw Shi Yan about to act.

  Shi Yan was stunned, staring blankly at the Soul Gathering Bead clutched in his palm.

  Only one-third of the Soul Gathering Pearl was wrapped in a white membrane, and the unwrapped part continued to emit energy that absorbed souls.

  Inside the Soul-Gathering Pool, a multitude of fierce ghosts and lingering spirits swarmed over, one after another, falling into the Soul-Gathering Pearl.

  The pitch-black Soul Gathering Pool gradually became much cleaner, as the souls disappeared into the Soul Gathering Pearl, and the pool water began to slowly recover to normal.

  The Soul Mirror, formed by tens of thousands of souls, began to show cracks on its surface, with signs of impending collapse.

  "Very soon, the souls here will be recalled by the Soul Gathering Pearl, and the Soul Mirror will disappear." Xuan Bing Han Yan was complacent, "Only I know how to seal the Soul Gathering Pearl. If someone who doesn't understand it drips blood on the pearl, they will immediately be devoured by the tens of thousands of souls within, leaving not even a single drop behind. This Soul Gathering Pearl is different from ordinary treasures, and cannot be claimed with blood; it can only be sealed with saliva, and every time it's used, just scrape off a bit of the sealed saliva."

  The Soul Gathering Pearl was taken by Shi Yan, and the souls in the Soul Gathering Pool were absorbed one by one. Everything returned to normal, and Xuan Bing's cold flames seemed very excited.

  Shi Yan also let out a breath of relief and took the opportunity to collect the remaining seven demon crystals used to construct the Eight Trigrams Evil Spirit Formation, before slowly floating up towards the surface of the pond.

  Clouds and mist on the island in the sky.

  In the thick demonic cloud, that one strand of icy evil soul had just clashed with Mo Duan's soul a few times, and hadn't yet destroyed Mo Duan's soul when it suddenly received Gu Lie's transmission.

  Mo Qi was startled and dropped Mo Duanhun, rushing towards the mountain valley where the Soul Gathering Pool was located.

  Gu Lie sent out the message and didn't dare to stay in the valley for long. He hid with Gu Jian Ge in a secluded corner, crouching down, fearing that the mysterious ice flame would suddenly erupt.

  Gulei and Gujian Ge both knew the terror of Tianhuo, especially after it had seized a suitable flesh body, making it the most fearsome creature in the world!

  Whether it was Gu Lie or Gu Jian Ge, after discovering that Shi Yan could use the cold air of Xuan Bing's flame, they naturally thought that Xuan Bing had completed the soul transfer through Shi Yan. They couldn't imagine that Xuan Bing was actually sealed by Shi Yan's Blood Vein Ring, with his consciousness imprisoned, and the ice-cold power he could release was limited.

  If the Xuanbing cold flame hadn't been sealed by the Blood Pattern Seal, its icy power would have been fully released, and this vast Cloud Island would have been quickly frozen. Now, the Xuanbing cold flame can only seal the mountain valley, apparently its power has weakened too much.

  Ke Gu Lie and Gu Jian Ge, however, did not expect this turn of events. They were extremely wary of Xuan Bing Han Yan, especially after discovering that Shi Yan had dared to enter the Jue Hun Tang. They were even more certain that Shi Yan was already dead, and that within his body, Xuan Bing Han Yan was now in control of everything.

  The mysterious and terrifying nature of the Soul Gathering Pool was deeply understood by these two, how could a mere warrior of the Hundred Calamities realm dare to enter the Soul Gathering Pool to stir up trouble?

  Gu Lie and Gu Jian hid themselves, waiting for Mo Qi's soul to return and rescue them, secretly anxious.

  On Yunxia Island, Mo Duan's face was pale, and he floated in the air, releasing his divine sense to feel.

  The dark ice flame had frozen the entire valley, and it was also the direction where Mo Qi's soul had gone. Mo Duan's divine sense expanded naturally and immediately locked onto the valley. When he sensed an extremely cold aura from within the valley, he suddenly remembered what Xia Xinyan had once said to him.

  He immediately knew that there should be rocky cliffs in the valley!

  Shi Yan was dragged into the depths of the glacier by Xuan Bing's cold flames. The icy air in the valley was so terrifying that it was clearly a product of Xuan Bing's cold flames. Before coming here, he had learned from Yang Qing Emperor's message that Shi Yan was not dead and would appear on Yunxia Island again. After comparing several times, Mo Dun Soul immediately guessed that Shi Yan might be in the valley.

  Mo Duanhun's face was uncertain, proudly standing in the void, thinking rapidly.

  "That young man has a boundless future and will be the pillar of the Yang family! No matter what, we must bring Shi Yan back to the Undying Island safely!"

  Yang Qing Emperor's words suddenly appeared in Mo Duanhun's heart, he stood in the void for a moment, his body turned into a green light, and shot towards the valley.

  The three mines of Gu's family were slaughtered by Shura Blood Guard and Xia Xinyan, He Qingman during this period.

  At this time, Shura Blood Guard and Feng Lei Fei Shi were also flying in mid-air, searching for the traces of Gu Lie and Gu Jian Ge all over Yunxia Island.

  "Huh!" Xia Xinyan exclaimed, "Demon Lord Mo Qi and Mo Daoren have both gone to that mountain valley!"

  He Qingman slightly lowered her head and gazed at the not-too-distant mountain valley, also finding it very strange. "What's going on? The Demon Lord Mo Qi is so formidable, why did he suddenly go to the mountain valley? And General Mo is the same, instead of taking advantage of the opportunity to leave Yunxia Island, why did he follow him?"

  "Unless Lord Mo unleashes his divine power to break the seal of the demonic flames on Yunxia Island, we won't be able to leave the island." Xia Xinyan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Let's get closer and see what's going on over there."

  "Good!" He Qing's beautiful legs moved, and Feng Lei Fei Shi nodded in agreement. They immediately flew towards the mountain valley.

  "It's so cold!" Having flown for only a few minutes, He Qingman couldn't help but shiver and shrink her white neck, calling out in a delicate voice: "What's going on? Why is that valley so icy? Hmm! Xinyan sister?"

  Xia Xinyan's slender body trembled slightly, and she didn't know when it started, but her eyes were suddenly moistened, and tears welled up in her beautiful eyes. Her voice was choked with sobs as she said, "It's him! It's him! He's down in the valley below!"

  "Who is it?" He Qingman first furrowed her eyebrows, then suddenly reacted and exclaimed: "You're talking about Shi Yan that guy?"

  "It's definitely him!" Xia Xinyan nodded heavily, her voice trembling with a mix of laughter and tears: "This guy was originally pulled into the ice cave by Xuanyuan's Frostfire, and the chill in that valley clearly came from Xuanyuan's Frostfire. Since Xuanyuan's Frostfire is here, he must also be inside the valley."

  "Could he still be alive if his soul was taken by the Xuanbing Flame?" He Qingman found it hard to believe, thought for a moment, and then said with an eerie gaze: "If his soul was seized by the Xuanbing Flame, but his physical body is still intact...then, I suppose that wouldn't count as being dead. Is this what the master of the Yang family meant by 'alive'?"

  Xia Xinyan's beautiful body suddenly trembled, and she glared at He Qingman with hatred, saying: "Qingman, don't play this kind of joke on me! It's not funny at all!"

  He Qingman was shocked and knew that Xia Xinyan had truly become angry, so she hastily shut her mouth and didn't dare say another word.

  However, in her heart, she let out a soft sigh. The cold air in the valley was so heavy that it was clear that the Xuanbing Flame was still there. Since the Xuanbing Flame was still present, how could Shi Yan, with only his hundred calamities cultivation, possibly escape unscathed?

  That guy is probably already a living dead even if he's still alive, right?
