The purple crystal spirit body was covered in cracks, as though it was a porcelain doll that was about to break.
However, at this moment, there was a powerful energy resuscitating within his body. A powerful pressure spread out, causing the evil ghost to quickly stop. His eyes were filled with disbelief, and then … He turned and ran!
"Ha ha!"
Ling Yun's cold laughter resounded through the entire mental space as divine chains filled it, sealing it off. His cold voice was emotionless as he slowly said, "To make this Saint burn his spiritual source, if he is allowed to escape, this Saint would not be worth it."
At this point, the two old men, the Supreme Pagoda and the Primal Chaos Stone, had been watching with folded arms. Lingyun had no choice but to take action himself.
However, the evil ghost was extremely powerful. It was a Martial Saint, and it was extremely terrifying. Even though the Spiritual World was his main battlefield, he could not suppress it.
Therefore, he could only burn the spirit source left behind from his past life. Although he had already fallen and reincarnated, his spirit energy had almost vanished.
A high rank seven spirit power was capable of contending against peak Martial Emperors. Even if it was only sixty to seventy percent of their spirit power, they could still easily kill ordinary Martial Emperors.
However, the source of his spirit was still dormant, hiding in the depths of his spirit body. Since his cultivation level was too low, he had no choice but to burn it.
One could imagine the consequences of igniting one's Source Energy. It was the extermination of a person from this world. From then on, even if it was the War God himself, he would not be able to reverse the situation.
However, he had no choice but to do so. If the Supreme Pagoda and the chaos stone did not oppress him, this evil ghost would most likely choose to devour his origin energy, seize his body, and use his body to grow.
Ling'er and Qin Feng were right outside. He definitely wouldn't allow this to happen.
Ling Yun's gaze was ice-cold, as if he had seen through the cycle of life and death. Within his purple, crystalline mind, there was a terrifying aura that was slowly recovering. A majestic pressure filled the air, enveloping the mind space and causing it to resonate.
Within his spirit body, he could see sparkling flames burning. It was precisely because of these flames that this power was released.
It was as if a sealed rock was being slowly smashed apart by someone with boundless power contained within it, releasing that power.
Burning one's spiritual source was irreversible. No one could stop it, not even Ling Yun.
When the source of his consciousness completely burned away, that would be the day he would perish. After that, there would no longer be a person called Ling Yun in this world. Even the Martial God would not be able to cause him to reincarnate, because he no longer had a source.
All living things have their source, and their source is their life. If their source is destroyed, then they will die.
If a world had no Essence, it would be destroyed.
The evil ghost was terrified and regretful. Why did it have to make a move at this time? It was born with great difficulty.
How many years of hiding had allowed him to grow to his current state.
It only appeared ten thousand years ago when that elder from Ten Thousand Beast Temple had heavily injured Dark Asura Hall's artifact spirit, suppressing the heavily injured and sleeping artifact spirit and slowly erasing it before replacing it.
It was not willing to be controlled, so it made its move.
Right now, it was only by branding a spirit imprint on Dark Asura Hall and having the imprint on the artifact spirit that it was about to erase. There was no restriction on it, which was why it was able to act so recklessly.
When Ling Yun's cultivation level rises in the future and he refined Dark Asura Hall, he will definitely detect its existence. At that time, he would definitely die, and even if he didn't die, he would be turned into an artifact spirit by Ling Yun.
But it didn't expect that this seemingly weak human youth would have such a terrifying power hidden within his mental body.
