Chapter 735: Soul Refining (1/2)

The Flame Dragon Armor’s soul answered, “I’m not a human equipment forger. How would I know about that?”

The flames that had engulfed the entire altar gradually scattered and disappeared. The Blood Core, which had been floating over Nie Tian, also returned to the Flame Dragon Armor.

“I’ve consumed plenty of my flame power,” it added, “we can’t stay here for much longer. You need to decide now whether to fuse that pure soul with that pearl of yours, or refine it thoroughly.”

The raging flames soon dissipated completely, and all that was left was the cluster of soul fire that was flickering before Nie Tian.

Eyebrows furrowed, he examined it with rapt attention, and didn’t sense any danger from it.

In his senses, this cluster of soul fire was a pure soul body. Even though it was still powerful, it was bereft of any memories.

“Fuse it with the Spirit Pearl...” With these words, Nie Tian slowly held the Spirit Pearl closer to the cluster of soul fire. As he did, he had a feeling that the Spirit Pearl had started to attract the cluster of greenish-black fire on its own.

Just as he pondered what he should do, the second fragmentary star mark that had flown out of his chest suddenly lit up.

It recorded information about star souls, Starchain, and other secret soul magics from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.

The first fragmentary star mark recorded the usage of star power; the second one recorded soul related contents; the third one recorded methods to build inner domains.

Perhaps this was the reason why the second fragmentary star mark had been able to help him channel the pure soul power from the six fierce souls into his sea of awareness to strengthen his star souls.

At this moment, the second fragmentary star mark actually flew to the flickering soul fire.

Before Nie Tian realized what was happening, the cluster of soul fire was swallowed by the second fragmentary star mark.

“Hmm?” A surprised expression appeared on Nie Tian’s face as he hastily sent wisps of his soul awareness into the second fragmentary star mark.

BOOM!

His soul awareness suddenly exploded within the second fragmentary star mark.

Numerous mysterious magical symbols that carried his aura flew out and rapidly fused with the cluster of soul fire.

The cluster of soul fire seemed to be instantly branded with his unique soul aura.

Immediately afterwards, Nie Tian was struck by a strong sense of exhaustion. He could see the nine star souls in his sea of awareness rapidly losing their soul power.

His star souls were shrinking at a noticeable rate.

It seemed that it would take a significant amount of soul power to brand that reborn soul with his own marks.

Moments later, his nine star souls grew dimmer and dimmer.

At the same time, the cluster of soul fire started to form its awareness bit by bit, as if it were a newborn, growing and examining this world.

It gradually formed new memories as well.

WHOOSH!

All of a sudden, the new soul flew out of the second fragmentary star mark into the Spirit Pearl.

The Spirit Pearl had gathered numerous discarnate souls from the outsiders Nie Tian had killed, which had helped light up the star map inside of it.

The moment the new soul flew into the Spirit Pearl, many discarnate souls gathered around it, bearing their fangs and claws in an attempt to devour it.

However, the new soul didn’t seem afraid in the slightest.

Numerous discarnate souls rapidly surrounded the cluster of soul fire in ring upon ring. However, it ended up draining their soul power.

The cluster of soul fire came from a powerful Phantasm expert, while the Spirit Pearl was a treasure forged by the Phantasms. The two seemed to agree with each other perfectly.

The new soul was like a fish that had returned to the water. It rapidly strengthened itself with the power it absorbed from the discarnate souls.

At first, Nie Tian was a bit worried that the new soul would be able to recover its old memories as it gathered more and more soul power.

However, he examined it closely for a long time, and discovered that he was now its only memory.

The cluster of soul fire had an extremely strong sense of belonging with him. Even though it was accumulating power, Nie Tian didn’t sense the slightest threat from it.

“Does this mean the second fragmentary star mark has helped me erase all of its old memories, plant in my unique imprints on it, and made me its master?” Nie Tian couldn’t tear his eyes from the cluster of soul fire as it grew stronger and stronger within the Spirit Pearl.
