At this moment, it was no exaggeration to say that the aura of death had enveloped Chu Feng.
This was absolutely no mere warning — those ten guardian beasts truly possessed the power to kill Chu Feng.
"Chu Feng, you've awakened them! Fall back quickly!"
"Every trap and mechanism here won't take your life, but the Ten Soul Pearl is the sole exception. The guardian beasts of the Ten Soul Pearl will genuinely kill you."
Seeing that the guardian beasts had already awakened, Chu Lingxi shouted nervously.
But who could have anticipated that, at that very moment, Chu Feng's palm suddenly opened wide, and a luminous net materialized from his hand, expanding rapidly until it enveloped all ten of those hundred-meter-long guardian beasts in the blink of an eye.
Once the luminous net had covered the guardian beasts, it merged into their bodies.
ROOOAARR— In an instant, all ten guardian beasts let out roars that shook the heavens, and even the waters of this peculiar pool rippled outward with powerful waves.
Yet at that very moment, Chu Feng began forming hand seals and softly commanded, "Formation, open."
Those formation nets that had merged into the guardian beasts' bodies began to radiate light once more, and those raging beasts were thrown into a violent struggle as a result.
"Is that… a hypnosis formation?"
Upon seeing this scene, Chu Lingxi's expression suddenly shifted.
As a Spirit World Master, she could tell that what Chu Feng was currently executing was a hypnosis formation.
Chu Feng intended to use the hypnosis formation to put those ten guardian beasts to sleep so that he could then seize the Ten Soul Pearl.
But these ten guardian beasts were so powerful — could Chu Feng actually pull it off?
Doubt crept into Chu Lingxi's mind, though she held her tongue. She didn't want to disrupt Chu Feng — she could tell he was pouring everything into powering that formation.
And Chu Feng's hypnosis took a full half hour to complete.
After half an hour, those ten guardian beasts finally closed their eyes and fell into slumber.
Chu Feng immediately set up another formation to accelerate his movement through the water, and riding the current, he soon arrived before the Ten Soul Pearl.
The very moment Chu Feng grasped the Ten Soul Pearl, those ten guardian beasts transformed into ten streams of gas and merged into the pearl.
At that instant, the Ten Soul Pearl actually began to glow brightly, with ten wisps of gas swirling and surging within it.
"So this is the true form of the Ten Soul Pearl," Chu Feng said with a smile.
"Heavens, you actually did it?" At that moment, Chu Lingxi stared at the Ten Soul Pearl in Chu Feng's hand, her face a mask of disbelief.
"I suppose I was lucky. Those ten guardian beasts were powerful, but they weren't truly living beings, so the hypnosis was easier. If they had been actual living creatures, my formation would have been completely useless." As he spoke, Chu Feng extended the Ten Soul Pearl toward Chu Lingxi. "Take it."
"You're really giving this to me?" Gazing at the Ten Soul Pearl being offered to her, Chu Lingxi's eyes were filled with astonishment.
"It's useless to me anyway — what would I keep it for? Take it," Chu Feng said with a smile.
