Chapter 2089 - 2090: Refining the Fierce Souls

Although the cultivators’ physical bodies are of no use to the vicious spirits, their divine souls are immensely beneficial!

These are the elites of the Sixth Region, especially the returnees, whose strength has already made them kings in this region!

However, they still cannot withstand these vicious spirits.

The returnees are formidable, possessing strength beyond the Earth Martial Realm.

But the problem is, their attacks are ineffective against these vicious spirits! Meanwhile, the spirits’ teeth can effortlessly tear through the returnees’ flesh!

This completely terrified the returnees; monsters like these, even in the Ancient Secret Realm, they have never encountered.

They initially thought they would benefit by coming here, considering their cultivation had peaked in the Sixth Region, where couldn’t they go?

But encountering these monsters, with a sense of helplessness, left them frustrated to the point of wanting to cough blood.

After consuming the cultivators’ divine souls, the vicious spirits became increasingly terrifying.

Their teeth are particularly concerning! Although their bodies are soul-like and similar to spiritual body life, normally they shouldn’t possess tangible features!

Yet, the spirits’ teeth are truly existent and extremely sharp.

However, no one pays attention to this; they’re all frantically fleeing, no longer engaging in fights with each other.

Strangely enough, after the appearance of these spirits, the homicidal aura in the ancient arena weakened, at least not affecting the cultivators’ minds anymore.

Only now, the sky above the arena is surrounded by an opaque force, making it harder than ascending to the heavens for the cultivators to get out!

Ye Luo looked up at the sky, showing a puzzled expression.

He suddenly realized a problem; why does this killing aura feel so familiar?

The situation was too intense before, and the slaughter intent generated after the cultivators fought was too dense, leaving him unnoticed.

But now, with cultivators frantically chased by spirits, he suddenly remembered.

This aura seems to be from the Tower of Trials!

Especially the suffocating aura he encountered in the dragon tomb on the upper ninth level! Yes, it’s just that aura!

So, the energy barrier overhead must originate from the Tower of Trials!

In other words, the Kunwu Sect intends to target these cultivators.

Has the Kunwu Sect gone mad? From now on, will they still have a foothold in the Sixth Region?

Not to mention, the Tianzong, Dragon Clan, Sword Cultivating Sect, and Heavenly Sword Sect represent half of the Sixth Region’s strength.

Of course, the Kunwu Sect’s fate has nothing to do with Ye Luo; he is now concerned with how to escape this damn place.

After all, this place offers no benefits and harbors great danger.

Now that the killing intent has vanished, the seeds of his Slaughter Law bring him no advantage.

Another issue is why these spirits don’t attack them?

Once, when Ye Luo accidentally blocked a spirit’s path, it ignored him completely, bypassing directly.

Ye Luo realized these spirits lack spiritual intelligence, operating purely on instinct, indicating he possessed something that intimidates them.

What could that be?

Could it be his divine soul! Indeed, these spirits are originally transformed from divine souls; Ye Luo is confident that with one Soul Shock, he could scatter these spirits.

After all, these souls differ from Ghostface Sect’s soul puppets, which undergo special refinement, possessing high density and strong defense against soul-based attacks.

Moreover, those soul puppets are not driven by instinct but entirely under the cultivators’ control.

"Truly terrifying, this ancient arena is, indeed, a place of great calamities!"

Beside Ye Luo, a disciple murmured quietly, his face pale.

Although they don’t know why the spirits bypass them, they are certain that once surrounded by these souls, they’d be devoured within seconds.

"Haha, I’ve waited long for you all; you’ve finally emerged!"

An old man suddenly burst into laughter, slowly ascending into the sky, enveloped in a swirling black mist, rendering him extremely eerie.

Most importantly, his appearance is almost skeletal, his face akin to a skull, dressed in a large black robe, as if a skeleton draped in attire.

Furthermore, several elders appeared beside him.

Ghostface Sect members!

Everyone recognized him; after all, besides Ghostface Sect members, which sect would appear so lifeless!

Clearly, they were previously concealed among the crowd, even when humiliated, they didn’t appear.

It seems they anticipated the spirits’ emergence; these spirits are undoubtedly treasures to the Ghostface Sect.

"You despicable Ghostface Sect, is this all your doing?" A returnee angrily rebuked.

"How foolish; if we orchestrated this, would we have trapped ourselves here!" The elder of Ghostface Sect coldly snorted.

Previously, many suspected the Ghostface Sect was behind it.

However, surely not; these individuals appear to be Ghostface Sect’s elites; why would they confine themselves here?

Even in a scheme of self-sacrifice, it wouldn’t be played this way.

Moreover, Ghostface Sect is known for its sinister mystique, but in terms of real tactics, they fall far behind the Tianzong and Dragon Clan, incapable of orchestrating such a grand scheme.

Nonetheless, it doesn’t prevent the Ghostface Sect from making its move.

Soon, special talisman characters appeared in their hands, chanting incessantly, and with the next moment! These talismans enlarged in the wind, flying towards the vicious spirits below.

Immediately, the talismans adhered to the spirits, initially ferocious and powerful, they suddenly froze.

Witnessing this scene, many widened their eyes.

Could it be that the Ghostface Sect’s method of controlling divine souls is this straightforward?

So, if all these souls are controlled by Ghostface Sect, who in the Sixth Region would stand against them?

"Haha, it’s the dawn of Ghostface Sect’s glory!" The contemporary Sect Master of Ghostface Sect, the elder who appeared first, laughed sinisterly.

Suddenly, the controlled spirits started moving.

The surrounding cultivators were caught off guard, many sustaining bites, with several fatalities.

Everyone grew enraged, wondering what the Ghostface Sect intended!
