Chapter 1397: Seal” Is the Seal (1/2)

Wreathed in endless hatred, the evil god let out a sinister laugh. “Why don’t you just run for your life?”

His command of the humans’ common tongue seemed to be improving rapidly.

As it continued to gather fragments of its lost memories and soul, it gradually recovered its intelligence, power, and control over souls.

As one of Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit’s five most powerful subordinates, it naturally had a awe-inspiring and dominant quality in this world, where it had been born.

Like other parts of the starry river, this area was also dim and filled with a vast variety of energies and auras. However, the Nether Qi here was extremely pure and rich, far richer and purer than in any other part of the starry river.

WHOOSH!

As the evil god of hatred fluttered its feathered wings, casting a bloodline magic, it started attracting and devouring the immense Nether Qi in its surroundings like a black hole.

Nie Tian observed with rapt attention. To his surprise, he saw wisps of misty cyan Nether Qi condensing into sparkling and crystal-clear cyan wisps of lightning before fusing into it.

CRACKLE! CRACKLE!

In just about ten seconds, the evil god of hatred was covered in slithering cyan wisps of lightning.

It strode forward and said, with Nie Tian and Pei Qiqi’s reflections in its glittering cyan pupils, “I’m one of Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit’s loyal followers.

“The grand monarch’s awareness has morphed into the Nether River that runs through the three worlds! The prismatic crystal in the brow of every Phantasm serves as an eye of his!

“As long as the Nether River doesn’t run dry, the grand monarch will live forever. He’ll watch over the three worlds with his soul awareness and decide the fate of all that live in them.”

FIZZ!

With these words, bolts of cyan lightning flew out of the evil god of hatred.

Nie Tian was flabbergasted. “The prismatic crystals between the Phantasms’ eyebrows are Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit’s eyes? Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit will live forever as long as the Nether River doesn’t run dry? If that’s true, doesn’t it mean every Phantasm has been serving him without even knowing it?”

Every Phantasm he had met had a prismatic crystal embedded in their forehead between their eyebrows.

Like a third eye, it was what Phantasms relied on to cast all sorts of soul magics.

If what the evil god of hatred had said was true, and Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit could actually see through those crystals on Phantasms’ foreheads, wouldn’t it mean every single Phantasm was his informant?

Would Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit be able to bend them to his will in the future?

“Soul Magic: Sea of Hatred!”

At this moment, the spread feathered wings of the evil god of hatred suddenly stretched out to his left and right, and a raging sea that could only be detected by souls rushed out.

This sea of endless hatred seemed to actually exist in this world, and it was now being summoned and put back together by the evil god of hatred.

The moment the sea of huge, heaven-reaching waves of hatred appeared, deafening rumbles echoed in Nie Tian’s mind.

Soul strands that were either gray or cyan rapidly infiltrated his sea of awareness. Each and every one of them carried the hatred that resided in the discarnate souls of the dead.

It was a strong grudge against heaven and earth!

FIZZ!

Inside Nie Tian’s sea of awareness, star souls burst forth with dazzling light as his true soul cast an exquisite soul spell to form multiple protective soul shields, doing everything within its power to resist the soul attack.

At the same time, he established a connection with the Spirit Pearl’s soul, embedding the wondrous pearl in his brow like his third eye.

Through the Spirit Pearl, he could see with great clarity that the evil god of hatred was gathering memories and soul fragments at an even higher speed in the vast sea of hatred, as if it were a fish that had returned to water.

The evil god continued to grow stronger.

“Hatred...”

Nie Tian muttered inwardly as he did his utmost to hold on to his sanity. With his star souls and true soul, he formed heavy defenses, lest his mind be engulfed in the surging waves of hatred released by the evil god.

In the meantime, he suddenly activated his life bloodline, igniting his Blood Essence!

As his Blood Essence burned, he established Life Blend with the Star Behemoth bone. His flesh aura then soared as his body expanded at a shocking rate.

An aura that was even more ancient and overwhelming than those in this world burst out to wreath Nie Tian.

It was the aura of a Star Behemoth!

It didn’t matter whether it was the evil god of hatred or the two Netherspirits in the distance. They all gasped with fear the moment they sensed the aura wreathing Nie Tian.

Their fear towards Star Behemoths had been branded in the deepest part of their bloodlines.

During the Primal Era, Star Behemoths had been the unchallenged overlords of the entire starry river.
