"The grievance of the ice crystal giant turned into a vengeful spirit under the influence of the being within the Ice Crystal Giant Coffin."
Because of his earlier lesson, Liu Yu did not dare look too much. He only quietly sensed it with his spiritual perception.
From the soul fluctuations of this vengeful spirit, he felt a bone-deep hatred, not only toward everyone present, but toward all living beings.
Unlike the Underworld Nine Nether Diagram, when the experts of the two races observed the ice crystal giant's vengeful spirit, nothing bad happened.
When it was alive, it had already been ground to death. Could it possibly gain the power of revenge just because it became a vengeful spirit after death?
This was not a ghost movie from Liu Yu's previous life. Such a thing was obviously impossible.
At the very least, before the sixth stage, the law of conservation of spiritual energy still held. Spiritual power would not appear or disappear out of nowhere; everything followed the most fundamental rules.
Even bizarre phenomena must have a cause behind them.
The ice crystal giant was the lingering will of Unmelting Ice, and the vengeful spirit was a manifestation of the ice crystal giant's resentment.
But neither of them was truly the mighty being of the Spirit Clan, Unmelting Ice. It was impossible for them to possess sixth stage void refinement-level power.
In everyone's perception, the ice crystal giant's vengeful spirit was only at the third stage, equivalent to the level of a golden core cultivator, and posed no real threat.
Even so, including Liu Yu, the experts of both races still felt an ominous premonition.
Something abnormal appearing at a time like this was clearly not a good sign.
Thinking of this, the remaining sixteen experts of the two races hurried toward the exit's Black Archway while secretly guarding against any possible change.
Under Liu Yu's spiritual perception, the "ice crystal vengeful spirit" quickly swelled to about half a zhang in size. Its aura also reached the third stage pinnacle, and signs of consciousness appeared within it, giving it a chaotic train of thought like that of a fiendish ghost.
After two breaths, the ice crystal vengeful spirit turned into a blurry humanoid form.
Its dark, gloomy eyes stared at everyone, and the bone-deep hatred within them made one's heart turn cold.
Not only was there enmity over life and death, but also the hatred of a race-ending disaster!
If it had been an ordinary evil spirit, it would naturally have rushed to take revenge at first opportunity, regardless of whether it could win.
The ice crystal vengeful spirit was clearly different. Born under the influence of the demon from beyond the heavens, every movement it made carried something special.
It did not attack immediately. Instead, after sweeping its resentful gaze over everyone, it withdrew its eyes and began chanting a special sacrificial invocation in Star Realm language:
"The mysterious ruler of the endless worlds, the indestructible and immortal majestic existence, the controller of reincarnation and rebirth, the monarch of all the dead spirits..."
A ghostly, wolf-howling sound suddenly rang out across Black Ice Plaza. The ice crystal vengeful spirit roared as if it were going mad, like it was doing everything it could to recite that sacrificial chant.
"Not good!!!"
Just hearing the first line, Liu Yu's expression changed drastically, and he no longer dared listen further.
He sent a voice transmission to remind Ink Plum, and his magical power surged violently as he ignored everything else and withdrew his spiritual perception and spiritual consciousness.
He also shut down his five senses, instantly becoming unable to hear or sense anything.
The sacrificial chant recited by the ice crystal vengeful spirit was obviously directed at the demon from beyond the heavens.
That was the main figure of the ancient end war, the one who directly caused the fall of countless mighty beings. It was very likely a seventh stage harmony of the dao realm existence.
