Chapter 1273: Corpse Soul Severance
Following Weeping Soul's departure, Han Li swept a sleeve through the air to transfer his Earthly Deity Avatar into the innermost layer of the array, which resembled a yin yang diagram.
He then sat down across from his avatar on the yang side of the diagram, while the avatar occupied the yin half.
After that, he began to temper his own aura, and his aura gradually completely subsided, as if he were using his Myriad Acupoint Tranquility Technique.
Shortly thereafter, Jin Tong and Weeping Soul returned to guard the northernmost and southernmost points of the island, as instructed by Han Li.
Meanwhile, Han Li began to chant an incantation, and a burst of golden light appeared over the outermost layer of the altar, forming a hemispherical light barrier that encompassed the entire altar.
Countless runes could be seen swimming over the surface of the light barrier, giving off rays of dazzling, golden light.
After that, the middle layer of the array also lit up alongside all of the treasures that had been placed in it. Pillars of light rose up from these treasures, with their colors reflecting the different attributes of said treasures.
These pillars of light transformed into a series of translucent chains, each of which pierced into a major acupoint in the Earthly Deity Avatar's body.
All of these acupoints were going to be important obstacles for the wicked corpse soul to bypass while modifying the avatar's body, so Han Li had to seize control of these acupoints in advance as a safety precaution.
Only after countless chains had emerged from the second layer of the array before piercing into the Earthly Deity Avatar's body did the innermost layer of the array finally begin to glow with black and white light.
In contrast with the previous two layers, only a thin light barrier emerged from the third layer of the array.
