The first few pairs of ghostly eyes gradually increased to over a dozen. They followed closely behind Jianchen and Yadriam, moving very quickly and silently.
When the ghostly eyes reached over twenty pairs, they finally could not hold themselves back any longer and launched a sneak attack at Jianchen and Yadriam. Over twenty pairs of thick tentacles shot toward the heads of Jianchen and Yadriam. The tentacles seemed to be completely condensed from the mist.
They seemed to have fused with the surrounding mist, making it difficult to discover their existence unless one paid close attention to them.
Just when the ghostly eyes launched a sneak attack at the two of them, Jianchen and Yadriam sensed danger. Jianchen did not even look back as a silver-white sword Qi condensed on his arm. He directly swung his hand behind him and sent out a powerful sword Qi. When the sword Qi came in contact with the tentacles, they immediately dispersed. The sword Qi did not slow down at all, continuing toward the ghostly eyes behind them.
Immediately, a sharp cry rang out from behind. The sword qi had clearly struck the mist, but a few blurry figures flashed out and then shattered. These figures came in all shapes and sizes. Some were humanoid, some were beastly, and some were grotesquely shaped. Each figure corresponded to a pair of ghostly eyes.
A few pairs of ghostly eyes that had attacked Jianchen and Yadriam were immediately dispersed.
At the same time, a ripple of energy appeared. Yadriam had taken action as well. A trident condensed from energy had appeared in her hand. With a swing of her arm, she threw the trident. It split into two, then four, then eight. In the end, eight identical tridents shot toward Gui Yan with lightning-like speed.
The eight tridents seemed to intertwine with one another as they produced powerful pulses of energy that caused the mist in the surroundings to churn violently. They destroyed the tentacles in an unstoppable manner before viciously shooting toward the ghostly eyes behind them.
None of the eight tridents missed. Every single one of them accurately struck a blurry figure hidden in the mist. With a series of ear-piercing cries, the eight figures immediately dispersed.
The ghostly eyes seemed to possess a certain level of intelligence. After losing over a dozen companions, they seemed to understand the power of Jianchen and Yadriam. Without any hesitation, they immediately retreated, vanishing into the mist without leaving behind a single trace.
Jianchen and Yadriam sharply stared in the direction that the ghostly eyes had disappeared in. They both frowned and after quite a while of silence, Jianchen said, "What strange things. Not only do they move silently, but they don't give off any unusual presences either. I actually failed to sense them following us earlier. If it weren't for the fact that I sensed them when they suddenly attacked, I probably would have suffered."
"These should be the vicious spirits that her majesty spoke of. They're born from the mist and are very difficult to deal with. Fortunately, they're not very powerful, which is why we managed to repel them so easily. We need to be careful from now on. If we come across any emperor-level vicious spirits, it'll be difficult to deal with them even if we work together," Yadriam said rather sternly.
Jianchen nodded silently. Although he possessed the battle prowess of a Holy Emperor, he was not a true Holy Emperor after all. Even Holy Emperors could die here and even Origin realm experts needed to be careful. He needed to be on full alert.
At this moment, Yadriam had already lost her connection with the Abyssal Bird. She took out the Abyssal Crystal again and used a secret technique to summon the Abyssal Bird to continue on their way.
Jianchen and Yadriam were constantly attacked by vicious spirits along the way. However, under their careful vigilance, they would discover the vicious spirits ahead of time every time and their lightning spirits would quickly wipe them out.
However, as they ventured deeper into the mist, the vicious spirits they came across rapidly increased in strength as well. Now, the spirits they came across had already reached the level of Holy Emperor. There were even a few that were equivalent to Great Perfection Holy Emperor.
The number of vicious spirits in the mist was unknown. Jianchen and Yadriam had already destroyed several thousand of them along the way, but the numbers did not decrease at all. Their path constantly changed due to the chaotic space.
During this time, the two of them were ambushed by over a dozen vicious spirits that were equivalent to Great Perfection Holy Emperor. These spirits did not harm the body and only targeted the soul, causing them to suffer. However, Jianchen and Yadriam were no ordinary person while Yadriam possessed supreme strength, so they were fine.
Suddenly, an ear-piercing shriek rang out from up ahead. It was abnormally ear-piercing and accompanied by a soul attack.
Jianchen and Yadriam both stopped at the same time. They stared ahead sternly as they remained cautious. The shriek from before had actually caused their souls to tremble slightly.
"Be careful. There's an extremely powerful vicious spirit up ahead. It should be at the level of emperors," Yadriam said with a deep voice. She acted like she was facing a great enemy. Even Poseidon said that an emperor-level vicious spirit would be difficult to deal with, so they could not be careless.
Jianchen was also stern. He glanced around and said, "Should we go around it?"
As soon as Jianchen finished speaking, the mist before them began to churn violently. A white figure gradually appeared before them. It was a vicious spirit that seemed to be completely condensed from mist. It was humanoid, but it had a tail. Its figure was blurry and it had no facial features. It only had a pair of extremely bright eyes that were filled with malice.
With the appearance of the vicious spirit, many more pairs of eyes appeared around Jianchen and Yadriam one after another. There were several dozen pairs of eyes.
Now, the two of them had been completely surrounded by a group of vicious spirits. Every single one of them was very powerful. Even the weakest one was at the level of a Holy Emperor.
"Looks like it's too late," Jianchen said with some pity. He knew that a battle was unavoidable.
"I'll keep the emperor-level vicious spirit busy. You deal with the rest," Yadriam said in a deep voice. Yadriam growled before striking out decisively. She directly charged at the emperor-level spirit and began fighting it with her trident.
The body of the spirit seemed to have solidified. The first time it clashed with Yadriam, it actually produced a powerful ripple of energy, causing the mist in the surroundings to churn violently.
Yadriam shivered inside. She had actually failed to gain the upper hand against an emperor-level vicious spirit for the first time. She was on par with the vicious spirit. However, vicious spirits did not specialize in direct confrontations. Instead, they specialized in attacking the soul. Direct confrontations were their weak point, yet now, she was actually on par with an emperor-level vicious spirit. This made Yadriam sense that something was off. She no longer held back and used her full strength against the vicious spirit.
On the other side, Jianchen fought against the vicious spirits at the level of the Holy Emperor. A powerful strand of sword Qi condensed in his right hand as he flashed through the mist with the Illusory Flash, dispersing the vicious spirits one by one. Due to the great difference in strength and the fact that Jianchen's sword Qi was condensed from laws, the vicious spirits were unable to put up any resistance before Jianchen. They would immediately disperse as soon as they were struck by Jianchen's sword Qi.
The emperor-level vicious spirit seemed to become furious when it saw its subordinates being slaughtered by Jianchen. It produced an ear-piercing shriek and immediately, the vicious spirits surrounding Jianchen seemed to have received some sort of order. They all charged at Jianchen.
Jianchen casually destroyed three vicious spirits before immediately dodging with the Illusory Flash. However, the vicious spirits were born from the mist, so they were like fish in water. They were no slower than Jianchen and surrounded him in the blink of an eye. They lunged at Jianchen like hungry wolves.
