“Is this worth it, just for the Holy Book?”
Alex was astounded, but at the same time, pitied the old man trapped up there, so he didn’t blame him. He was locked up here and faced inhumane torture every moment. It felt like his body and soul were being cut up nonstop, an extremely barbaric action.
If Alex had been the one facing this, he too would’ve gone crazy. Thus, he was unable to believe that his grandson would come here either.
Alex’s eyes went cold as he looked at the nine dragon heads. It was impossible to use force.
Once he attacked forcefully, it would cause a chain reaction and the vicious souls of the Ghost Dragons floating above would crash down and strike at full power. Even if he was invincible, he probably couldn’t beat them.
“Sword heart!” Alex’s glabella glowed as runes circulated. Half a sword heart slowly emerged.
The sword heart had been given to him by the Red Empress at Atlantis and was the soul of Seventy-two Heavenly Immortal- slaying Formation.
With the help of half of the sword heart, breaking through and using the prison as his own would be a piece of cake.
Alex held the seal in his hand and sent out seven commands, which were all received by the sword heart.
Buzz!
The sword heart then vibrated gently, sparking up brightly.
Countless sharp sword patterns shot up and a hollow disc with a diameter of a hundred meters levitated in the air. The disc looked ancient and its presence was so strong it covered over the nine dragons’ heads below.
“Hmm?”
“What’s happening? How could there be such powerful sword intent from below?”
“These nine dragons are so pitiful!” Alex said to himself and sighed in his heart.
He had a good impression of the dragons because of Neela. As for these nine dragons, they’d been intentionally tortured by humans, executed, and had their souls finally bound to the bottom of this pool. Unable to leave or die, especially with the presence of the cold energy of this pool, and became resentful dragon ghosts.
“Let me free your souls!” Alex clapped his hands together and the sword heart spun again, working its power upon the nine dragonheads.
Pshh.. Pshh… Pshh…
Nine continuous clacks of something disconnecting could be heard as nine thick Soul Catching Nails were removed slowly from the dragonheads. The souls of the nine dragons all let out a sorrowful cry.
“Hmm? What happened, Sir?”
A shadow flickered as Neela appeared next to Alex. She had sensed the presence of her own kind.
