Refining the Mountains and Rivers

away like dust!

But as soon as her fingers moved, Close Saint’s expression shifted slightly as he looked surprised.
He jumped backwards.
In the next moment, ‘crack’ ‘crack’, the sound of ice cracking could be heard. 

The air in front of Soft Peach and everything in it seemed to be frozen.
At this moment, the ice cracked, destroying everything within it as well. 

This includes the energy from the fist that Close Saint threw.
If he had not backed off in time, he would have been implicated as well. 

Soft Peach smiled even more victoriously after her single touch forced Close Saint to back off, “Where are you running to? Come, let’s have an exchange.” She took a step forward.

Not a single hint of energy could be felt and she completely disappeared.

In the next moment, she lifted a hand from behind Close Saint. ‘Bom’ there was a low sound as the space exploded into pieces and was chaotic like a ceramic bowl.
It swallowed Close Saint completely. 

Boom –

Boom –

Loud sounds continued to be heard from the broken space.
It was as if something hard was clashing with the power of space. 

Darkness appeared from within like a drop of black ink falling into water.
It spread and extended outwards…in a blink of an eye, it covered the entire fragmented space. 

Soft Peach’s eyebrows rose as she looked down at her palm.
In the middle of her clean white palm, there was a black seed that had taken root and was spreading out. 

The dark lines appeared deep and had a strange aura as if it could pull one’s conscience within, and very soon, it covered her entire palm and started to grow further. 

“Ghost Path!”

Spitting out two words, a memory that she had tried to forget appeared in her mind.
Soft Peach’s mouth curled even more as the chilliness in her eyes intensified.

She extended a finger like a knife and used her fingernail to cut her flesh.
She allowed her blood to flow out as she caught the ‘black seed’ and pulled it outwards with all her might. 

Numerous shrieks filled her ears and sounded like the combination of multiple voices.
There were males, females, young and old.
What made them all similar was the fact that they all sounded desperate, like souls trapped in hell. 

As she heard the shrieks, it was like a sharp wooden stake, topped with a barb, was banging into her ears.
All of a sudden…blood was dripping all over. 

Along with it, there was a bone-crushing, soul-hurting pain that seemed to wreck one’s mind. 

Soft Peach turned pale as she frowned slightly.
But her eyes glowed even more…she lightly licked the corners of her lips.
It seemed as if she was enjoying herself. 

That’s right, just like that!

She laughed lightly as she continued to pull on the ‘black seed’.
She slowly pulled it out from her body, “It has been a long time since I last met an accomplished cultivator from the Ghost Path.
This is a surprise.”

The fragmented space that had been dyed black opened and Close Saint walked out.
His eyes were locked onto Soft Peach as his pupils shrunk. 

Ghost Path aura!

This woman was taking the same path as him. 

No, not completely the same…more accurately, it was as if she herself was a powerful phantom! But she was clearly alive and her vitality was pulsing.
So how could she have the power of a phantom?

The ‘black seed’ and its roots were already half-removed from her body.
Soft Peach’s eyes glowed even more. 

On the other side, Li Quanji had attacked.
He had lost to Qin Yu before and knew how powerful Qin Yu was.
Moreover, he knew that Qin Yu was hiding a horrifying power within him. 

But this did not mean he could not do anything…there were many ways to kill someone and Li Quanji knew quite a number of them. 

For example, Soul Shattering!

He sneered as he repeatedly created droplets of blood.
Every drop of blood rapidly expanded after landing and forming a blood vengeful spirit. 

Soon, there were twelve of them!

They all looked extremely different and strange.
The only thing they had in common was their ruthlessness and bloodthirst.
They now surrounded Qin Yu completely.

The twelve vengeful spirits shrieked at the same time.
The blood red colour on their bodies bubbled to the surface as if a red flame was burning.
They were thin like spider webs and spread from the ‘flame’, extending in all directions and quickly interlacing. 

In a blink of an eye, with the twelve vengeful spirits as the centre, they ‘created’ a blood egg, engulfing Qin Yu within. 

It was as if it had some expansion properties; as soon as the vengeful spirits’ cries could be heard, the blood egg grew and became even stronger. 

The negative power contained within the shrieks was released!

It was as if eternal night had descended on the world and covered everything in darkness…there was not a hint of light or hope. 

Soul Shattering was not a direct attack to shatter the opponent’s spirit.
But it used negativity to suppress everything and attack one’s willpower and mental state.
When the opponent lost control, they would fall into endless despair and fear. 

Eventually, they would choose to destroy their own soul and escape through death. 

Simply put, it was utilising emotions to instigate suicide.

Precisely because of this, regardless of what intense power Qin Yu was hiding, he would commit suicide and not get to use it. 

This was the reason why Li Quanji chose this method. 

As for the result…

As the most powerful vengeful spirit born from the Blood Sacrifice, he was confident in the negativity that allowed him to absorb numerous deaths.

Li Quanji’s ‘Soul Shattering’ was absolutely horrifying and even True Saints would be affected. 

Unless they could break through the ‘egg’ created by the blood webs, it was just a matter of time before their will would be broken down by the attacks. 

And this ‘egg’ created by the blood webs was astounding in terms of defence.
A simple explosion of power would not affect it at all. 

This was because it was extended from the vengeance of the vengeful spirits and was a secret power similar to a curse.
Most of it was made up of concentrated layers of strong will. 

Simply put, if one’s will was strong enough, one would not be affected by the ‘Soul Shattering’ and a single touch would break the egg. 

If not, then no matter how much power one emitted, even if it was of the True Saint level, it would not hurt this ‘egg’ at all.
