Chapter 1455: Beg for Mercy (1/2)

The evil gods’ shrill soul screams echoed from within the five crackling Illusory Ancient Talismans.

“No!”

“Don’t!”

They had been able to communicate with Nie Tian the whole time.

After all, it was Nie Tian’s Blood Essence that had vested them with fleshly bodies. It was Nie Tian who had gone to great lengths to help them gradually build up their strength.

They had long since developed their own awareness and learned the human language. They simply chose not to communicate with Nie Tian on a soul level out of repulsion towards him.

However, at this moment, trapped on the dilapidated altar, they were suffering from the raging flames. Their fleshly bodies that had been reforged thanks to Nie Tian were being relentlessly damaged by the very person who had reforged them.

Their bodies weren’t the only things being damaged; their souls were as well.

They finally started to feel afraid.

Thanks to their soul connection, they could vaguely sense that Nie Tian wasn’t just saying things to scare them, but he was actually prepared to sacrifice them to strengthen the Spirit Pearl’s soul, which had limited potential, but abundant loyalty.

Due to the restrictions of the Illusory Ancient Talismans and the fact that they had failed to gather all of their lost memories and soul fragments from the Void World, they hadn’t recovered their peak power yet, and thus couldn’t resist the increasingly violent flame power from this wondrous altar.

If they didn’t yield, then they would be refined, both their bodies and souls perishing here.

They also had a terrifying feeling that if they were burned away on this altar, their soul awareness would dissipate completely, and could never be regathered.

That meant that even if others wanted to gather their remaining soul fragments in the Void World, it wouldn’t be enough to bring them back.

Therefore, they were finally scared. Realizing that they were facing extinction, they yielded and begged Nie Tian for mercy.

A sinister grin appeared on Nie Tian’s face. “You’re begging me for mercy now? It’s too late. I don’t want to waste any more time on you! So what if you were late tenth grade grand monarchs? Do you really think I can’t survive without you?

“When my bloodline enters the tenth grade and my cultivation base reaches the God domain, what are your grand monarchs, including that Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits, to me?

“It’s not like I’ve never faced a tenth grade grand monarch in battle!”

Overtaken with anger, Nie Tian completely ignored the evil gods’ pleas for mercy, and issued an order to the Flame Dragon Armor. “Go on! Burn their bodies and refine their souls! Those who don’t obey me are useless, and a waste of my precious Blood Essence!”

“Got it.” After giving a simple answer, the Flame Dragon Armor channeled even more flesh power from him to fuel the eight flame dragon skeletons, which then spewed even fiercer flame power at the altar.

“Master...” The Spirit Pearl’s soul wanted to say something, but stopped and sighed after seeing the state Nie Tian was in.

In despair, the five evil gods wailed for his forgiveness.

Nie Tian turned a deaf ear.

He had made up his mind. If he couldn’t completely tame the five of them, he might as well destroy them as soon as possible. Otherwise, they might stir up more trouble when he took another trip to the Void World.

Not to mention that Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits might be able to use them to reopen the portal.

In order to prevent future problems, he had decided to kill the five of them and use their soul power to strengthen the Spirit Pearl’s soul.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

As the five evil gods were being purged, the Spirit Pearl seemed to come under increasingly heavy pressure. The cyan heaven and earth inside of it seemed to be on the verge of falling apart.

“Master! Stop!” the Spirit Pearl’s soul cried anxiously.

Nie Tian was confused.

“It seems to me if they die, this pearl will perish too, and I’ll lose the place I need to survive!” The Spirit Pearl’s soul panicked. “There’s a strong connection between them and the Spirit Pearl. It’s not an exaggeration to say that they’re a whole. I, however, am the expendable one.

“If I perish, the Spirit Pearl can still persist. But if they perish, the Spirit Pearl will explode, and you’ll lose it forever.”

Nie Tian went blank for a moment before letting out a cold snort and lifting a hand to make a grabbing motion.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
