Chapter 378: Gathering Spirits
Noon.
This point is usually the brightest, warmest, and brightest moment of the day.
But that is only for the outside world.
For Huangquan Island, today is the darkest day in five hundred years.
The color of the sky seems to be a mixture of half ink and half blood.
It looks terrible as if it will fall at any time.
It makes people shudder.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it hurts when it hits the skin.
The wind is getting stronger and stronger, like countless small swords cutting the body of the passerby.
The temperature has already dropped below -20°.
And it is still dropping.
On the cliff at the end of Huangquan Island, there stands a barefoot woman.
Her long black hair falls vertically like a waterfall under the cliff, and she raises her eyes and stares coldly at the hell world above.
It was so close that it seemed to be within reach.
The last gap on it also disappeared.
The roars and howls in the prison world became clearer.
The huge and terrifying demonic energy spread all around.
"Time flies, and it has been five hundred years in a flash."
Ye Ji Hongyan jumped into the air like a fairy, jumped off the cliff, and landed in the white stone forest below.
This is the Guarding Forest, the former base camp of the Ye Ji family, and the main battlefield where the Sealing Demon War broke out.
Coming here again, it feels like a lifetime ago, and it is full of sighs.
Ye Ji Hongyan's thoughts were pulled back to five hundred years ago.
Some of the dry bones mixed in the white stone belonged to her clan.
Here, too much pain and too many regrets are buried.
If the Yagami clan had not been bewitched by the great snake.
If the Kagura clan could have discovered the priest as a traitor earlier.
If the Demon Breaker could be cast one day earlier...
Unfortunately, there is no if!
"This time, if it is not sealed, it must be destroyed!"
Yeji Hongyan is ready to sacrifice herself for justice.
"Whether it is a lonely soul or a wild ghost, all the souls floating in this sinful world, give me your power!"
Yeji Hongyan pinched her fingers and called the spell, setting up the spirit gathering array.
Mysterious runes appeared on her arms, and a deep red glowing stripe appeared on her cheek.
White cherry blossoms flowed around her.
The spirit gathering array does not absorb the so-called spiritual energy of the earth, but attracts some unconscious or weak-conscious souls.
This is the secret and unique array of the Yeji family.
First attract the souls, then purify them with the array, and finally convert them into spiritual power for use.
As long as there are enough souls, they can continuously provide power to the holder.
But Ye Ji Hongyan did not have the time and conditions to set up a regular spirit gathering array.
She set herself as a spirit gathering array and directly absorbed those souls.
Although this is efficient, it is extremely dangerous.
Each soul exists independently and may carry bad breath.
Like an apple just picked from a tree, it looks clean, but the surface is contaminated with dust and bacteria. If you eat it directly without washing it, it is easy to cause problems.
Other witches have also tried to use their bodies as an array to quickly increase their strength. As a result, they could not suppress the bad breath and soon became possessed and died suddenly.
Even if they did not become possessed, they would still suffer from difficult-to-heal sequelae afterwards.
For example, illness, insomnia, severe depression, and regression in cultivation, etc.
But Yeji Hongyan didn't care about these things at all. She was confident that she could purify those bad souls.
In short, her goal was very clear, which was to eliminate the demons at all costs!
