Chapter 214 - 211: Array in the Pool
Before him lay an ancient circular array, with ten positions each holding a blood-red Blood Soul Stone. Each of these stones emitted remarkable energy fluctuations and dazzling light, forming ten layers of light patterns of different colors, enveloping the old circular array.
In the center of the array rested a blood-colored crystal the size of a human head, which emanated specks of dark light. Upon closer inspection, one would find that each speck of dark light on the Blood Crystal, when magnified, was a malevolent ghost. The color was much purer than other Blood Soul Stones, with considerably stronger energy fluctuations.
"It’s a Blood Soul Crystal, ten times purer than the energy of Blood Soul Stones!"
Ye Xuan’s gaze fell upon the blood-colored crystal in the middle of the formation, and his face changed; he hadn’t expected to find such a thing here. If he could refine it, his damaged Martial Arts Primordial Spirit might recover significantly—at least it wouldn’t be as insubstantial as it currently was.
"Kid, you’ve struck it rich. But this array seems to be complex, utilizing ten Blood Soul Stones as the power support to construct the array. It won’t be easy for you to break the formation and seize the Blood Soul Crystal inside." Upon noticing the human-head-sized Blood Soul Crystal, the Flood Dragon’s eyes shone with excitement, but it quickly realized the complexity of the array. Breaking it would not be easy.
"You see, these Blood Soul Stones seem to be eventually absorbed by the force of the array, gathering in that stone coffin."
Ye Xuan’s attention was focused on the array, where he saw streams of pure blood-colored energy being continuously sucked out, forming a large artery that finally converged into the stone coffin at the position of a heart.
"What’s inside this stone coffin? Could it be a corpse?"
On the surface of the stone coffin, Ye Xuan sensed a hint of cold, evil fluctuation. Within that fluctuation, there seemed to be a trace of vitality, yet it was overshadowed by an aura of death, making it extremely complex.
"If you want to know, just break the array and open it to see," suggested the Flood Dragon.
Hearing this, Ye Xuan nodded. As long as he destroyed the array and took the Blood Soul Crystal, the power of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Extermination Formation outside would inevitably weaken, and the crisis would naturally be resolved.
