James wanted to recruit more powerhouses to assist Sienna and increase their chances of success.
Riding on Quiomars, James returned to the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone.
In the past, Mateo had set up a powerful formation to trap an Acmean in a dangerous battlefield within the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone. The formation was cracked during the fight against the Acmean, and its strength had drastically weakened over time. Although it was damaged and weakened, the formation was still capable of trapping and killing a powerful Acmean. After Lord Samsong stumbled into the formation, he was unable to easily escape it.
James appeared in the central region of the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone, which was an island. He stood on the top of a spiritual mountain and looked at the shattered formation in the distance. He saw Lord Samsong resisting the formation’s remaining strength. What’s more, an Acmean’s soul was lingering within the formation.
Even though he was dead, he still possessed terrifying strength. Although his body and soul were destroyed, his anguish remained and formed a lingering soul. What James had previously encountered in the Sky City were also lingering souls.
These lingering souls were the remaining anguish of the Acmeans that had died in the Ecclesiastical Restricted Zone. Master Mateo had specifically built the Sky City to trap these lingering souls. With the passage of time, the strength of these lingering souls would also weaken. Gradually, they would completely vanish.
However, these lingering souls took a long time to disappear. Although they had existed since the Primordial Realm Era, they were as strong as Ninth Stage Lords.
Meanwhile, the lingering souls in the shattered formation were not very strong, as the formation constantly drained their power. The lingering souls in the formation only had the strength equivalent to that of a Ninth Stage Lord.
As he resisted the remaining power of the formation, Lord Samsong also had to fight off the lingering souls. He was already ragged and severely injured but continued to sustain more damage.
Despite his severe injuries, he was a Ninth Stage Lord and would not die so easily. It would not be a problem for him to survive in the shattered formation for another few thousand or tens of thousands of Epochs. In time, he would eventually break the formation and escape.
