Mysterious Revival
/ Mysterious Revival Chapter 1114 – 1080: Stolen Supernatural
The moment Yang Jian came into contact with the vengeful spirit, his body dissolved in the cold lake water.
The speed of his dissolution left him unable to respond—no, more accurately, it made any response impossible.
However, it was only Yang Jian's body that dissolved.
The black Ghost Shadow remained in the lake water, its eyes emitting a faint red glow as they stared at the female corpse that suddenly appeared behind him.
The corpse's long black hair floated, its body icy and white, yet a hint of ruddy red suffused it. An eerie smile was ever-present on her face, and her appearance hadn't changed; it was still that of Captain Yinzi.
At this moment, Yang Jian couldn't discern whether the ghost in Ghost Lake was actually Captain Yinzi, or if, like Cao Yang, she was trapped here, eventually becoming a vessel for the malevolent spirit within Ghost Lake.
But it no longer mattered.
The ghost's eyes suddenly emitted a crimson light.
The seven layers of the Ghost Domain were activated without hesitation.
Restarting himself.
Yang Jian reversed time, changing the outcome of being turned into a puddle of lake water by the malevolent spirit in Ghost Lake, bringing him back to twenty seconds before.
As the red light faded.
The previously dissolved Yang Jian appeared once again, completely unharmed, without a single wound on his body.
“This ghost is terrifyingly fierce; it can crush me in an instant. I can't hold back at all dealing with such a thing,” Yang Jian said as he initiated the six levels of the Ghost Domain the moment he finished restarting.
Six ghost eyes opened wide, and the Ghost Domains overlapped, creating layers to isolate the supernatural phenomena.
When the layers reached six, everything around came to a temporary halt.
Under the influence of the six layers of the Ghost Domain, the lake water became still, the ghost's floating black hair in the water was suddenly frozen, and its icy body was rigid in the lake…
It was clear.
Even the malevolent spirit in Ghost Lake couldn't escape the influence of Yang Jian's six layers of the Ghost Domain.
But this stasis was very brief.
Yang Jian could even notice the eyes of the ghost in front of him slowly moving, with an eerie gaze fixed on him.
The more terrifying the ghost, the shorter the stasis time.
“I can only hold this thing for five seconds at most, but that's enough now.”
In the next moment.
A ghastly tear abruptly appeared in the still lake water before him, ripping open the specter alongside it.
Within this time-halted Ghost Domain, a rusty, ominous Firewood Knife moved through unaffected, slashing repeatedly before him.
With the first cut, Yang Jian severed the neck of the female corpse, beheading it.
With the second cut, he dismembered the body, cleaving off half of it.
With the third cut, he amputated both of its arms, rendering the ghost handless.
The stasis faded away.
Five seconds were up.
But in that instant, a splitting spear ignored the water's restraint, whizzing forward and directly piercing the floating head of the female corpse in the water, pinning it to the sediment deep in the lake bottom.
“Splash!”
After completing all of this, the surrounding lake water violently churned, producing a series of noises, while moments ago, the still-floating female corpse suddenly fragmented, even the head being carried away, leaving no human form.
And while all this happened, to those outside, it seemed like it all transpired in less than a second.
Yang Jian, expressionless, looked at the shattered body in the water, eyes still cautious.
With the six layers of the Ghost Domain and consecutive slashes with the Firewood Knife, followed by the Coffin Nail pinning its head.
Stopping, dismembering, suppressing.
Using all these methods, it was, until now, his most effective means against the vengeful spirit, and if even this didn't work, Yang Jian would have to consider…
Yet, just as this thought emerged.
What unfolded next made Yang Jian involuntarily twitch his eyelids.
The dismembered body dissolved rapidly in the lake water, just as what happened in the coffin before.
In a blink of an eye, the body disappeared again.
Even the head pinned by the Coffin Nail vanished, leaving nothing behind.
“It's useless,” Yang Jian went silent at this sight.
The first time could be attributed to inexperience; the second occurrence indicated his method was wrong.
The ghost within Ghost Lake seemed to meld with the water, with the Firewood Knife unable to dismember it, and the Coffin Nail unable to restrain it. No matter how terrifying the supernatural attack, all failed against the ghost of Ghost Lake.
Though a ghost couldn't be killed, encountering something like this, incapable of doing the slightest bit of harm, was a first.
Suddenly.
Yang Jian sensed something and instinctively glanced aside.
On the coffin lid in the sediment at the lake's bottom, the female corpse reappeared, standing there with that eerie stare directed at Yang Jian, her face still bearing that creepy smile, which wasn't an expression of joy but merely a facade.
Yang Jian couldn't fathom why the ghost would wear such an expression.
But he knew that the ghost was still around.
Lake water surged once more, and amidst the flowing water, the female corpse's black hair floated, her icy body inexorably approaching Yang Jian again.
“I can't let this thing touch me in the water, or my body will be dissolved by Ghost Lake.”
Yang Jian's expression shifted slightly as he retreated, instinctively waving his hand.
The lake water before him split, and this severed region continued expanding, growing, extending from below upward, spreading left and right.
As if the entire Ghost Lake were about to be severed in two.
The ghost halted.
It didn't cross the severed region to approach Yang Jian again; perhaps ghosts couldn't tread on areas without water.
“What's going on?”
At this moment, Yang Jian's attention was no longer on the ghost. He noticed the isolated area had grown so large it reached an uncontrollable state.
Even the lake surface was cut open.
“Splash!”
With a heavy thud, a female corpse, swept by the lake water, crossed the boundary and plunged from the lake above, heavily landing in the sediment.
The body rapidly deteriorated, emanating a foul stench, and in moments, what was once a complete corpse turned into decaying flesh.
The supernatural power maintaining the body seemed to have been stripped away.
And it wasn't just limited to that.
Splash! Splash!
As Ghost Lake was split open, more and more corpses in the water crossed the boundary, descending from above, all meeting the same fate, quickly rotting and releasing a stench.
Yang Jian's expression fluctuated unpredictably, still standing at the lakebed, while the malevolent spirit in the lake opposite still eerily eyed him.
Yet the entire lake had been divided in two.
The section of the lake where Yang Jian stood now seemed to belong to him, forcibly cleaved from Ghost Lake, seized.
“So that's it…”
Now, Yang Jian seemed to understand, realizing the various changes that befell him before.
Why was he uncontrolled previously? Why, after sinking to the lakebed, could he gradually move again? Why could he wield supernatural power within Ghost Lake unaffected?
Because he had unwittingly stolen part of the paranormal power from Ghost Lake before.
Since he took some supernatural power but hadn't severed it from Ghost Lake, the malevolent spirit within sought to kill him in the lake, reclaiming its lost piece.
“All of this might be related to Shen Lin, who vanished from my memory.”
Reflecting carefully, the only uncertain factor was Shen Lin, once present in his memory.
This change should have an inextricable link to him.
After realizing this, Yang Jian accepted his current situation.
He had commandeered half of Ghost Lake.
No, nearly half.
Looking up, Yang Jian assessed, estimating he had only taken about forty percent of Ghost Lake, not quite an even half.
“If I indeed stole Ghost Lake's supernatural power, now the most crucial thing isn't confronting the malevolent spirit within, but rescuing those who sank to the lakebed. If I continue clashing here and become trapped, the stolen paranormal power might be reclaimed.”
Understanding this, Yang Jian slowly retreated.
His form merged into the cold lake water behind him, choosing not to engage the malevolent spirit across in direct confrontation.
Hopefully, with some luck, Li Jun, who sank to the lakebed along with Ah Hong, Cao Yang, will have crossed over with him.
