Chapter 1304: Calamity (1/2)

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The five evil gods flew out from the Spirit Pearl as rolling Phantasm Qi gathered and turned into five swirls.

The evil gods floated with parts of their bodies immersed in the swirls, which seemed to connect to the Phantasms’ ancestral land: the Nether Realm, from where they channeled the purest Phantasm Qi.

Having been infused with Nie Tian’s Blood Essence and all of the discarnate souls obtained from Kleist’s Spirit Pearl, the five evil gods, which had transformed from evil spirits, had experienced new changes.

Not only had they become larger than before, but they had also become more like beings with flesh and blood. They didn’t seem illusory at all now.

With the appearances of sinister monsters, they exuded intense Phantasm Qi that carried ultimate negative emotions, including hatred, fear, despair, rage, and bloodlust. Chu Rui and the others’ expressions flickered as soon as they sensed them even though they were under the protection of the Nine Star Heavens.

By merely looking at the five evil gods, they felt their innermost negative emotions being stirred.

“Powerful! A mere look at them can twist people’s thoughts and make them lose their minds!”

Yan Zhan’s face turned pale with fright as he hastily shifted his gaze from the five evil gods, and forced himself to fix his eyes on Nie Tian.

Finally, his negative emotions got under control.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The evil gods swooped down towards the Illusory Ancient Talisman one after another. They thrust their sharp claws into it to touch the highly concentrated toxic miasma released by Gupi.

FZZZ!

Upon contact, dark green smoke rose from the evil gods’ claws, as if they were corroded by strong acid.

However, the damage didn’t seem to be fundamental. The evil gods seemed to find it bearable.

It was just that their clawing didn’t seem to cause any damage to the toxic miasma within the Illusory Ancient Talisman.

“This isn’t working.”

After observing for a few seconds, Nie Tian realized that the power of the Spirit Pearl and the five evil gods didn’t have any impact on Gupi’s miasma, much less refining it.

“Come.”

With a thought, he commanded the five evil gods to return to the Spirit Pearl.

Earlier, when he had pondered powers that might work, he had discovered that Gupi’s toxic miasma had become extremely concentrated after being absorbed by the Illusory Ancient Talisman, so much so that it had liquidized.

Now, the toxic miasma looked very much like water!

No tearing, chopping, or slamming would have any impact on it.

“It doesn’t seem any similar attacks will work. I guess I can only try to confine or refine it.” With this thought, he took out the Star Behemoth bone. He attempted to refine the toxins in the Illusory Ancient Talisman with its power, but failed.

After that, the Flame Dragon Armor was taken out and given a try.

Moments later, looking at the Illusory Ancient Talisman that was commanded by his soul will to float in front of him, he shook his head in frustration and said, “No, none of my spiritual tools or powers work. Nothing other than this talisman can confine Gupi’s toxic miasma, much less refine it.”

Chu Rui sighed softly. “That’s what I figured.”

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Everyone gazed off into the distant starry river, and saw Jiang Yuanchi’s dark gray shadow domain flying around the Realm of Fragmentary Star to take more lives.

Ji Yuanquan’s loud cries echoed out from time to time.

Apparently, he was using secret spatial spells to create spatial rift after spatial rift, so that the Void and Saint domain visitors could quickly evacuate from this part of the starry river.

Not only was he exerting himself to rescue those from the Void Spirit Society, the Five Elements Sect, and the Heaven Span Pavilion, but members of the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect and the Shadow Society as well.

Illusory or solid, domains were being smashed by Gupi’s tentacles or melted away by its toxic miasma everywhere.

A large number of Void and Saint domain cultivators were injured or killed.

Since it was the shadow domain of Jiang Yuanchi, a middle God domain expert, that was carrying the Gupi around, none of them could outrun it.

“Time to evacuate from this part of the starry river, everyone! It doesn’t seem we can find an answer to Gupi problem at this moment, so we need to get as far away from it as we can!”

Ji Yuanquan and Ye Wenhan cried aloud in a background of cries from You Qimiao and numerous others.
