Chapter 1385: The Other Side (1/2)

The huge arched gate was slowly pushed open under the five evil gods’ joint efforts.

The moment the gate opened, a figure that was large enough to prop up heaven and earth entered Nie Tian’s view.

It seemed to be the dharma idol of an expert who was fighting swarm after swarm of evil spirits, with its broad back against the arched gate.

Millions of evil spirits and vicious souls madly threw themselves at him.

With his back against the gate, he cast an exquisite spell, condensing the purest spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth into a glowing blade that could shatter heaven and earth. With a casual swing of his arm, he sent it out, reducing thousands of evil spirits to scattering ashes and dissipating smoke.

However, there seemed to be an endless stream of evil spirits that came at him, as if he would never be able to kill them all.

The expert guarding the gate seemed to have sensed movement behind him, and thus jerked his head around to take a look at the huge arched gate.

As soon as he did, he and Nie Tian were both dumbstruck.

“Nie Tian!”

“Grand Elder!”

Mo Heng, who was on the other side of the gate, and Nie Tian, who was in the depths of the Seven-star Blue Sea, exclaimed at the same time.

However, their voices were trapped within their own worlds, failing to spread through the arched gate to the other side.

Even so, this didn’t stop the two of them from seeing each other’s faces and the shapes of their mouths.

HOWL!

After pushing the huge gate open, the five evil gods seemed extremely excited, and couldn’t wait to charge into it.

On the other side of the gate, Mo Heng’s expression flickered violently.

He glowered at the five evil gods as wisps of pure spiritual power wove into a mysterious seal in front of his chest. In the shape of a stone plate, the seal emanated dazzling light, along with an aura that suppressed evil spirits.

Since Nie Tian had reestablished his soul connection with the five evil gods, he was able to sense the insecurity and uneasiness they were feeling now.

But even so, the five of them seemed to be eager to risk their lives by charging into the heaven and earth beyond the opened gate to fight Mo Heng.

“They opened this gate to fight the grand elder?” Nie Tian’s expression flickered as he shouted fiercely, “Get back here!”

Regardless of the Spirit Pearl’s willingness, he pulled it out of his ring of holding where it was hiding, held it up towards the five evil gods, and commanded with his bloodline and soul, “Get in here!”

The five evil gods growled at the same time.

Their growls were filled with anger, discontent, and rebellion.

From when the five evil gods had been born to when they had developed fleshly bodies after consuming his Blood Essence, the bond between them and Nie Tian had become closer and closer.

Not once had they disobeyed him.

This was the first time!

Ignoring their discontent, Nie Tian focused his soul awareness and summoned his bloodline power to let out powerful calls. “Come back here! Now!”

Each and every call exploded in the five evil gods’ minds like thunderclaps, and bent their will bit by bit with what seemed like soul-binding force.

Gradually, their natural desire to charge to the other side of the arched gate was neutralized by his calls.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The five evil gods flew uncontrollably into the Spirit Pearl one by one, as if they were ripped away from their innate desires.

Nie Tian hastily threw the Spirit Pearl back into his ring of holding, and ordered its soul to keep an eye on the strangely-behaving evil gods, which had even dared to disobey him.

HOWL! ROAR! ROAR!

On the other side of the gate.

Surrounded by countless evil spirits, a few exceptionally large spirit-form beings let out deafening howls and sharp screeches.

If Nie Tian were able to see them, he would have found that they had a lot in common with the five evil gods he had just sent back into the Spirit Pearl by force, including their sizes and appearances.

The only difference was that these enormous spirit-form beings didn’t have fleshly bodies.

They were very similar to what the five evil gods had been like before Nie Tian had vested them with his Blood Essence and helped them develop fleshly bodies.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Upon hearing their howls and screeches, the innumerable evil souls attacking Mo Heng seemed to have their spirit ignited, as they charged towards him in different soul spell formations and cast soul magics that were similar to those of the Phantasms.

Mo Heng fought back by condensing dazzling light into a stream of mighty power.
