As Bi Fan guided that condensed Soul Power toward its target, he felt something complicated in the force.
It didn't seem to be purely Soul Power. A faint ripple rippled through its calm surface, and the aura within it was terrifying.
Still, the strangeness didn't give Bi Fan pause. He knew it was a change brought about by the old man's guidance, and perhaps this was the proper way to use the Bodhi Divine Sense technique.
As the aura drew near, the dark-red Formation Heart shuddered. It seemed to sense the danger it was in and struggled desperately to break free of the invisible restraints of the Cold Pond's water.
But no matter how hard it struggled, it couldn't escape. The power of a Divine Soul Crystal Stone condensed by someone at the Great Void Realm was more than enough to completely restrain it.
Soon, that thread of highly condensed power wrapped around the dark-red Formation Heart.
A roar of unwillingness and hatred echoed faintly through the deep pool. Bi Fan furrowed his brow as he watched the dark-red Formation Heart's deep glow fade bit by bit. It shattered into tiny, reddish fragments like broken diamonds, scattering across the clear pool bottom. They were quite beautiful.
"Senior, have we succeeded?" He raised his head and respectfully asked the old man before him.
The old man smiled and nodded. "Mm. It possessed less than a tenth of the Candle Sky Divine Sha Formation's power to begin with. Now, with the Cold Pond's water binding it and Bodhi Divine Sense bearing down on it, its only fate was to shatter."
Only then did Bi Fan let out a breath of relief. He smiled and rubbed his head, then asked curiously, "This junior has a question. I'm not sure if I should ask."
