An ear-piercing scream echoed in the dark, chaotic snowfields as though the wrath of nature's raging energy was building up its strength. The vengeful spirit realized that its foundation was being threatened. It had to halt its recovery process prematurely, and block these intruders. Meanwhile, Hao Ren was so preoccupied with the strange things in front of him, he almost forgot about the blizzard that gradually raging around them.

The sealed domain Vivian was talking about was a black rock or plateau.

There was nothing special about this piece of plateau. It was just a flat, circular platform that was a few yards across and it had traces of rough grinding. Obviously, it was Vivian's handwriting. What really caught the eye was the lilac light film that floated over the platform.

The light film was more than 10 m high, about 3 or 4 m wide, and it was translucent. It was easy to see through the light film and the situation behind it. It was like an aurora falling from the sky. Hao Ren hypothesized that it was some kind of space crack.

Lily climbed up to the stone platform and reached out to touch the light film, but her hands just went through it. The crack was in sleep mode and did not seem crossable.

Vivian looked up at the film, leaned over, and examined the stone platform, which she had not seen in more than 300 years. "I made this platform, but the crack in space above it was already here. I used the residual energy from it to build the altar of banishment beneath."

Hao Ren's eyebrows twisted. "Is this crack the 'gate' from 300 years ago? Was it where the vengeful spirit came out from?"

Vivian nodded. "I don't know how it was formed, but apparently the vengeful spirit came out from it. I tried to send the vengeful spirit back to the gate after defeating it, but I failed; the gate may be jammed or something, I couldn't activate it at all. So, I had to set a seal near the gate to suppress the vengeful spirit right in this place. You see, these runes are what I've left behind," Vivian said as her fingers darted gently over the edge of the circular base. Crimson light immediately appeared, and there it was, Letta runes.

"So this is where you took the two 'stones' that you gave to the two human menials?" Lily asked casually.

"They dropped out from the crack after the vengeful spirit was held up." Vivian scratched her hair. "I didn't know what was going on with this crack in space. It seemed obviously closed to me, but something did drop out from it. Later I tried to cross the light film, but I failed again."

Hao Ren found it funny and annoying at the same time. "You gave the stones away without knowing what they were? You were really... Have you ever thought about how ordinary people would cope with supernatural power?"

"I was poor at that time," said Vivian. "I could only pick some stones on the road. Other than that, I had nothing else to give."

"Shall we not talk about the gate first," said Nangong Sanba. He suddenly raised his crossbow nervously as a wailing sound came through the air. "It looks like the concentration of energy in our surroundings has reached a critical point!"

The snowstorms raged from all directions and rapidly increased in intensity. There were countless, inexplicable shadows in the sky, circling to form a new storm. Snowflakes fell out of the dark sky when there should not have been anything in the first place. Meanwhile, weird flashes also began to appear around them. One again, Hao Ren felt the same numb feeling of an electric shock spreading across his skin: this numbing sensation was a sign of the impending vengeful spirit!

Vivian quickly dispersed a large swarm of bats. Web of lightning were brewing in the swarm. "By defeating the vengeful spirit right here and I would be able to seal it up once again!"

In the next moment, the vengeful spirit seemed to have realized the threat and hostility. A weird rumble sounds like a tsunami closed in from all directions and followed by the emergence of countless chaotic shadows in the air which violently swooped down toward and circular platform and them!

When Hao Ren was about to use his Graviton Grenades, a pale light suddenly burst out around them. White Flame spread out her hands as her hair danced in the air. Then an endless sea of flames started to engulf where her eyes landed. The pale flames had no heat, it was even colder than the surrounding storms. However, under the ablation of the white flames, rocks were vaporised, ghosts were burned into ashes, even the lightnings were ignited by the flames. Flames burned and climbed fast up the lightning trails and ignited the cumulonimbus cloud in the sky!

The sea of ​​white flames was burning furiously, and the near-natural, powerful offensives unleashed by the vengeful spirit was gradually consumed by the blazing white flames. Hao Ren stared at the white flames with his jaw dropped to the ground. He murmured to himself. "Don't all demon hunters use crossbow?"

"Crossbow is just a standard weapon. There are also demon hunters who specialize in incantations and magic," explained Vivian as she recovered from her brief shock and released a swarm of bats. "Besides, there are also some demon hunters who are like White Flame. If I'm not mistaken, this is her natural talent after the bloodline awakening."

Hao Ren was still in amazement. "...How did the magic emperors make these superhumans back then?"

Nangong Sanba was clueless. "What?" he asked.

Hao Ren said casually, "Nothing. It's about the story of your ancestors being pulled out of the bodies of the oldest ancestors by another ancestor."

"...What?"

As the pale flames blew away the distorted spirits, Vivian's bats opened a vast web of lightning, as if capturing a storm, it forcibly blocked the wall of the snowstorm that was about to form a tornado. As if inspired by the demon hunter, Vivian had unleashed her amazing skill, the glare and light almost as natural-phenomenon as as the surrounding tornado!

The wailing sound was incessant and almost pierced through human brain. The invisible vengeful spirit which had no physical body seemed to have felt the threat was fatal. It unleashed even fiercer attack. Though the pale flames had the upper hand in the beginning, when more spirits emerged from the surrounding storms, the replenishment rate of the flames finally could not catch up with the storm.

A distorted shadow suddenly crossed the wall of flames and flew straight toward White Flame. The latter was concentrating on controlling the fire that had burned right up to the sky. When she finally came to her senses, the shadow was right before her. The always calm and confident demon hunter could not help but become panic.

Just when the shadow was half a metre away from White Flame, a crimson fire line suddenly emerged and cut the shadow into half—it was Lily who rushed to her help with her sharp claw. "Stop dreaming!" Lily said.

White Fire froze for a moment before muttering to herself. "Would the otherworlding save people too?"

At this moment, a flashy, rectangular metal suddenly flew over the wall of fire, creating lines of arc toward the wall of snowstorm and the group of spirit monsters. In the continuous tearing sound of the space, the reinforcements of the vengeful spirit began to fall apart.

Hao Ren poured out two cartons full of Graviton Grenades and said to Nangong Wuyue and Becky. "Just throw! It's more than enougt!"

"Did you really kill this vengeful spirit on your own?!" Lily wierded her claws killing those spirits which had slipped through as she shouted at Vivian. "Why I got the feeling that that thing is more powerful than we all combine?"

"I was much more powerful back than!" Vivian replied loudly in mid-air. "But after a long sleep, my strength had somewhat diminished! "

Hao Ren looked at the endless storms and light and shadows around him. He felt that vengeful spirit was the most difficult enemy he had ever met in his life. He had fought rock giants, demon hunters, werewolves, and shadelings, even the First Born, but those guys were at least visible and had a physical body. He could at least blow a hole right through those things. But this vengeful spirit was totally different, until right now, he was still not sure what he was dealing with!

He only saw boundless wind and snow, invisible shadows, unexplained light and wailing, and the electrical sparks on his skin. He did everything possible to eliminate these supernatural phenomena, because Vivian told him that by doing this it could weaken the power of the vengeful spirit. But truth be told, even if Vivian, an old expert who had lived for tens of thousands of years, did not even know the nature of the vengeful spirit, nor the effectiveness of this 'weakening method. She only knew she should do this, but no one knew how it worked.

Even no one knew how to communicate with the vengeful spirit.

"I've just detected a large-scale... field," the MDT finally knew what it should do as it had been trying to analyze the life form of the vengeful spirit. In this place with the highest energy intensity, it finally found out some properties about the thing. "One kilometer in range... no, it's range is undefined, similar to electrical field, the frequency constantly changes. The energy evolution process inside this field somewhat mimics life. This is probably the vengeful spirit."

This is the nature of vengeful spirit? A life form with an energy field?

At this time, Hao Ren suddenly felt something creeped in his collar. Lil Pea finally could not stand the noise. The little one poked her head out and looked at the surrounding curiously. She let out a scream when she saw the scene outside.

Not knowing what was in the mind of the little mermaid but she suddenly sang.

Then then snowstorm weakened suddenly.
