Chapter 1463: Disaster! (1/2)
His soul awareness spread as he pulled the five Illusory Ancient Talismans out of the Spirit Pearl. “Come out!”
As soon as the Illusory Ancient Talismans appeared, the five evil gods inside noticed the peculiar Nether River branch.
They were visibly excited.
Through the Illusory Ancient Talismans, Nie Tian could see that their bodies were charred in many places. They must have been badly injured because they had been burned by the eight flame dragon skeletons.
Nie Tian’s eyes twinkled as he seemed to come to some realization. “The eight flame dragon skeletons and the dilapidated altar can burn evil souls and purge the Spirit Pearl.
“The Spirit Pearl was created by Grand Monarch Nether Spirit to collect the scattered fragmentary souls and memories of these five evil gods in the Mortal World and Spirit World. The Spirit Pearl carries their aura. It’s not so much a magical tool of the Phantasms as a token of the Netherspirits.
“If the dilapidated altar can purge the Spirit Pearl and refine them...”
He snorted and said, “When the five of you see this Nether River branch, do you remember anything? It’s rumored that the soul awareness of Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit, who you followed, became the Nether River after his death. Is this branch of the Nether River an extension of his soul awareness?”
Having followed Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit for many years, the five evil gods must have had an impression of the Nether River, even if they had not yet gathered all their fragmentary souls and memories.
They should know more about Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit than anyone else.
Nie Tian was trying to figure out through them what was going on in the Nether River branch before his eyes.
Did it actually have an unprecedented battle with that ancient tree as he imagined?
He wanted to know whether the battle was over, and how long it had lasted.
The five evil gods who had been excited suddenly all fell silent upon hearing his words, as if they had a mutual understanding.
It was as if they had suddenly become mute.
No matter how Nie Tian asked them, they gave no response.
Nie Tian was irritated. “Ingrates! If I’d known you’d be like this, I would have refined you alive on the altar without leaving a single trace of your soul awareness!”
They remained silent.
“It’s clear that they know something, master,” Agaz said.
The Spirit Pearl’s soul chimed in, “The moment they flew out of the pearl, their souls fluctuated violently. They must know something about this peculiar Nether River branch!”
Even without their reminders, Nie Tian knew that the five evil gods must know something.
“Damn it!” he swore and then suddenly stared at the center of the whirlpool from which the Nether River extended. “Get the hell back into the pearl!”
The five Illusory Ancient Talismans were stuffed into the Spirit Pearl.
He grasped the Spirit Pearl and pressed it against between his eyebrows, as if it were his third eye.
Strands of his condensed soul awareness converged on the pearl between his eyebrows.
WHOOSH!
The Spirit Pearl lit up between his eyebrows like a new eye opening. With the help of this strange pearl and its soul, he surveyed the Nether River branch once again.
Because of the existence of the Spirit Pearl, the bright cyan light and intertwined soul strings became extremely distinct in the river, even though there weren’t any spirit-form beings or evil ghosts.
He felt as if his soul awareness had sank into it.
SWISH! SWISH!
A large number of obscure soul characters flew out of the brilliant cyan light, shining. The intertwined soul strings started swimming in his eyes, as if they were being rearranged to show him the wonders of soul spells, similar to how he had received information from the Nether River branch in the Seven-star Realm Sea.
These soul characters were the unique soul symbols of the Netherspirits in the Void World. They recorded soul magics that Nie Tian should not be able to understand.
