Chapter 1408: Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits (1/2)

In the starry river where the portal stood.

After Nie Tian, Pei Qiqi, and You Qimiao disappeared into the portal, the portal gradually closed due to Pei Qiqi’s efforts with her unique bloodline wonders.

Shortly afterwards, giant spirit-form beings marched towards this area of the starry river in a formidable array.

They were all hundreds of meters tall and had different appearances. Some looked like evil spirits. Some looked like satanic beasts, while others looked like sinister monsters.

Each and every one of them exuded an aura that was as immense as that of a God domain expert.

Mo Heng, who was guarding the portal, grew grim as he watched them march in his direction.

“Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits’s sub-souls...”

As powerful as Mo Heng was, he felt great pressure after examining them with his soul awareness. It was a suffocating feeling that his true soul might be destroyed if all of them attacked him at the same time.

Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits, the current chief of the Netherspirits, had as many as a thousand sub-souls. Every single one of them possessed outstanding battle prowess, and soul power that was as immense as the sea.

Mo Heng did a rough calculation, and realized that he was facing about a hundred of Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits’s sub-souls.

This meant that this overlord of the Void World, who aspired to rise to Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit’s height, had sent as much as ten percent of his power through the boundless starry river to fight him.

“Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits, by sending so much of your power to this part of the starry river, aren’t you afraid that your true self and true soul will be severely injured by Sectmaster Ji Cang of my sect?” Mo Heng asked aloud.

“Ji Cang won’t be able to injure me any time soon.” Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits’ voice came from every one of his sub-souls present.

It was in perfect human language.

“Luo Wanxiang from your sect turned against you upon my incitement,” Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits said, sounding perfectly calm. “He was one of your sect’s so-called Sons of the Stars. The star incantations and soul spells he practices have no essential difference from Ji Cang’s.

“It’s just that Ji Cang’s cultivation base is higher, and his understanding of star power is more profound.

“Small things always reveal big truths. From what I’ve learned from Luo Wanxiang, I’ve already figured out the secrets of your sect’s various secret magics. Ji Cang might be the strongest human, but he’s in the Void World now, and his opponent is me.”

Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits’ resounding voice filled this entire area of the starry river.

More than a hundred of his sub-souls suddenly started rotating around Mo Heng to form a profound soul formation that had been passed down from the Netherspirits’ ancestors.

“Soul Capture!”

A dome of glorious light came to form over Mo Heng.

As the glowing dome continued to morph, countless soul symbols fell out of it. As Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits let out a low exclamation, they seemed to unleash profound truths of souls that had existed in the Void World from ancient times.

Mo Heng’s dharma idol instantly split apart, and morphed into his true form.

However, a soul shadow with Mo Heng’s appearance was separated from his true form and started flying backwards, like a balloon being blown away by a gust of wind.

As this happened, Mo Heng’s eyes started to grow dim and lifeless.

“Shadow Wings!”

A set of enormous, shadowy bat wings with a span of a thousand kilometers suddenly spread out over Mo Heng’s head, sheltering him from the glowing dome for a split second.

In just this split second, Mo Heng’s soul shadow that was flying farther and farther away from him flew back into him through the top of his head.

Mo Heng’s eyes glittered with life once again.

“Jiang Yuanchi!”

“Yes, it’s me.”

The shadowy wings gradually grew bright and shiny as they continued to stretch.

Then, a mysterious shadow manifested under the dazzlingly bright wings.

That piece of shadow seemed to hide Jiang Yuanchi’s true form. “Mo Heng, even though the two of us may not be able to fight Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits’s true self or true soul, we should be able to handle these bodiless sub-souls.”

Mo Heng nodded. “Right.”

Immediately afterwards, Mo Heng and Jiang Yuanchi, who were both from the Mortal World and at the middle God domain, launched joint attacks against the hundred sub-souls of the Netherspirits’ current chief.

At the Seven Stars Realm Sea.
