Chapter 185: Severing the Flame
In that moment of intersection, the shockwave violently collided with the source light. The uniform, smooth ripples instantly disintegrated and shattered, yet ultimately, it pierced through. Force is always mutual; the ghostly beast's spiritual power shattered the shockwave formed by Yu Ci's Yin Spirit, while the shockwave, in turn, imparted its force upon the source light—merely a wisp, a fraction, quite feeble.
But this was already sufficient.
In terms of scale, faced with the ghostly beast's immense spiritual power, even if ten of Yu Ci's Yin Spirits were fused together, they would still be ground to dust. However, any powerful force must itself possess a stable structure. Otherwise, it would be like replacing the load-bearing pillars of a majestic hall with toothpicks—the structure's own weight alone would crush it.
The power the Yin Spirit shockwave managed to inject was negligible, but snapping a single "toothpick"? No problem at all!
Within his field of vision, the originally somewhat orderly rippling lines instantly fell into chaos. The form of the source light grew even more unstable, pulsing and contracting dozens of times in the blink of an eye. This signified that its spiritual power had become irreparably disordered. Finally, with a resounding crash, it collapsed.
The light abruptly dimmed.
Yu Ci's body trembled. His Yin Spirit returned to its aperture. The wondrous field of vision finally faded, and he once again saw the burning light of the blood droplets within the crevice space. Yet before his eyes, another mass of bluish-white flame blazed, a thousand times more intense than those scattered flecks of fire.
He stood up unsteadily, staring at the quietly burning bluish-white flames within the space. The firelight still vaguely retained the outline of the ghostly beast's massive form. But since "quietly" was used to describe it, it was because the violent yet fragile consciousness within those flames had already dissipated.
The ghostly beast's consciousness—erased just like that!
