The colossal Mountain Guardian Spirit had dissolved, but it seemed in its final struggle, remnants of its voice still echoed.
"I am... the guardian..."
"The guardian..."
"The guard..."
Intermittent, and ultimately fading into silence.
The towering ancient tree that took up a third of the mountain's peak vanished abruptly before their eyes.
Ye Qingyu momentarily forgot to take the Divine Power Seed.
"The Mountain Guardian Spirit was destroyed long ago, it was this Divine Power Seed that sustained it's lingering illusion."
Having some understanding of illusions, Jiang Wang also found some clues and spoke out to analyze, "What we saw was its last moment of destruction. The time anomaly of Chi Yun Mountain, it must have happened in the past."
Even just an afterimage exerted a pressure as if it were substantial, making both Jiang Wang and Ye Qingyu believe the Mountain Guardian Spirit truly existed and summon the utmost caution.
