The enormous eyes were chillingly cold, making even Ye Jingcheng's divine soul shudder without warning.
Through those eyes, Ye Jingcheng saw Ghost Venerables flying in from the horizon, along with an Ancient Wilderness Ark charging toward him.
Nine ancient lamps abruptly appeared around him, as though the array they had just broken had reformed.
Azure bone flames ignited on the lamps and closed in around him, as if intent on burning him to ashes.
At that very moment, the Soul-Seizing Demon Dragon Pillar shone with spiritual light, as did the soul-nourishing jade on Return-to-Zen.
Roar!
This time, it was Zhuyan roaring.
It saw Ye Jingcheng's unfocused eyes, and saw that Ye Tengchuan and Ye Jingzhong were likewise trapped deep within the illusion.
"Master, wake up!" Just then, the Peachwood Demon entered as well. It shot out a spiritual root and had Zhuyan follow it.
As the spiritual root pierced several roof tiles, Zhuyan smashed a stone bead.
Ye Jingcheng, the others, and all their spirit beasts instantly snapped awake.
The eyes in the sky immediately fell, transforming into a radiant jade pearl.
"Is this a Heaven-Reaching spirit treasure?" Ye Jingcheng was astonished, and a little shaken by what had just happened.
Fortunately, they had come to explore on their own. Otherwise, once this spirit treasure activated and trapped them in an illusion, someone behind them might well have struck.
Zhuyan, however, had no fear of the illusion and casually caught the pearl.
With its enormous body, even the palm-sized pearl was like a tiny marble, which it could only pinch between two fingers.
The array had been the key to activating this Heaven-Reaching spirit treasure. Once the array was broken and its supply of spiritual energy cut off, the treasure naturally returned to normal.
Zhuyan simply could not understand it.
