Chapter 1452: Poking the Soul (1/2)
Pang Chicheng flew farther and farther away until he vanished from everyone’s sight.
Cries for help that came from within the Spirit Pearl pierced through Nie Tian’s sea of awareness like sharp arrows.
However, there was nothing Nie Tian could do to stop it.
“The portal!” A shudder suddenly ran through Nie Tian, whose sea of awareness was being violently stirred.
It struck him why the sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society wanted the Spirit Pearl: he wanted to reopen the portal!
Last time, the five evil gods had pulled the portal open together.
Once the five of them broke free from the Illusory Ancient Talismans that were sealing them in the Spirit Pearl, they would be able to open the portal again without resorting to Pei Qiqi’s Voidspirit bloodline.
He also realized that awakening the Ripper Behemoth and letting it devour Grand Monarch Blood Axe, Grand Monarch Dark Nether, and numerous Ancientspirit grand patriarchs to refill the Seven Stars Realm Sea had also been part of the effort to reopen the portal.
“What lies on the other side of the portal?” This thought made Nie Tian insecure and uneasy. He suspected that something might have happened to Mo Heng, who was guarding the portal from the other side.
Perhaps Netherspirit, Bonedrude, and Devil armies were gathering in front of the portal, ready to swarm into the human world.
Since the Seven Stars Realm Sea was located in the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries, if they actually made it through the portal, the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries would be the first to fall.
“I can’t allow a sub-soul of Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits to run amuck under my nose!” Nie Tian bellowed.
“Bloodline: Lifeblood Wheel!”
Drop after drop of Blood Essence that looked like sparkling blood diamonds were separated from Nie Tian’s heart.
They sprayed out and formed a blood-colored wheel that looked like a bloody sun.
“Spin!”
The Lifeblood Wheel started spinning slowly.
As it did, rays of blood-colored light shot out from within the wheel, carrying a power that could suppress all living beings’ bloodlines, making their bloodline power weak and sluggish.
FZZZ!
Many of them pierced into Nie Tian’s sea of awareness.
RUMBLE!
The power from the sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society, which was having a significant impact on his sea of awareness, started ebbing away.
As that happened, he regained contact with the Star Behemoth bone and the Flame Dragon Armor.
Through his true soul, he sent the Spirit Pearl a soul call. “Come back!”
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Soul strands shot out of his eyes and instantly entangled the Spirit Pearl like invisible strings.
The moment his soul strands made contact with the Spirit Pearl, he shrewdly sensed that even more strands of power that didn’t belong to him or the Spirit Pearl were also wrapped around the pearl.
That power was dark, cold, and very resilient.
“Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits’s soul power!”
As he let out a cold harrumph, and the star souls within his sea of awareness suddenly burst forth with dazzling light. At the same time, the soul strands that were wrapped around the Spirit Pearl turned visible and started emanating blinding light.
At the same time, the black tortoise expanded, its bloodline power engulfed Dong Li in the blink of an eye like a pitch-black cloud.
Power that belonged to the black tortoise infiltrated Dong Li’s body through her every pore, as if to stimulate her potential.
“Dark Aureole!” Dong Li’s voice echoed from within the endless darkness. In the next moment, an ink-black aureole that looked like a black sun slowly rose from the utter darkness.
FIZZ! FIZZ!
The soul voice the sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society had used to bewitch Dong Li was suddenly snapped by the dark power.
Dong Li instantly regained her senses.
“Darkness Devours!”
Regaining control of the dark stone, Dong Li used it to further power the Dark Aureole, which released dark power that instantly devoured all light around it.
Even the Blackout Soul Curtain released by the sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society was engulfed by darkness.
