Chapter 1479: An Opening (1/2)

The complacence in Scotte’s eyes faded rapidly. “Why is this happening?”

The other three grand monarchs also fell silent.

“This is...” Nie Tian frowned as he watched the blown-up part of the Nether River morph slowly.

The Nether River that had extended from the great vortex to the Silent Star Sea was simply too long.

The part that Scotte had vaporized with Thunder Blast only took up less than a thousandth of it.

At this moment, the broken Nether River was slowly reconnecting on its own, as if it had its own awareness.

From the look of it, it wouldn’t be long before it healed.

Scotte panted and said, with wisps of lightning in his breaths, “I can only use Thunder Blast nine times.”

Apparently, he felt awkward. “After that, my bloodline power will be drained. If I could destroy this Nether River with nine Thunder Blasts, I’d be willing to do it. But it seems...”

Even if he didn’t say that, everyone saw for themselves that nine Thunder Blasts weren’t enough to destroy this Nether River with a self-healing ability.

Nie Tian turned to the other three grand monarchs and asked, “Is there anything you can do?”

Grand Monarch Primal Wood let out a soft sigh. “The Nether River isn’t a solid existence. Rather, it was transformed from Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit’s residual soul awareness after his demise. The only things I could think of that might be effective were raging flames and Scotte’s lightning power. In fact, I thought Scotte’s lightning bloodline was our best shot.”

“I can’t believe even after his physical demise, the Nether River his awareness transformed into turned out to be this hard to kill,” Nie Tian said.

“After all, he’s one of the three mighty existences that have ever transcended the limits of tenth grade bloodlines.” Even space shook as Chatvic spoke. “Let me give it a shot!”

HOWL!

With a furious howl, his immense flesh aura spread towards a segment of the Nether River like a sea.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The clash between his flesh power and the Nether River gave rise to strange sounds.

Even though the soul-form beings in the Nether River perished in groups, that segment of the Nether River didn’t vanish.

Soon, he gave up and retracted his flesh aura in frustration. “My soul magics aren’t nearly comparable to Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit’s. It seems to me that searing flames, raging lightning power, and intense soul power are the only things that might have a chance at neutralizing this Nether River.”

“Perhaps there’s another way,” Grand Monarch Primal Wood exclaimed softly.

“What?” Scotte said.

Grand Monarch Primal Wood turned to look in Pei Qiqi’s direction. “There! That great vortex is the source of this branch of the Nether River. If we can find a way to destroy that great vortex and stop fresh water from flowing here from the Void World, then our problem will be solved.”

“Good point!” Chatvic said excitedly.

“Let’s go!” The four grand monarchs from the Spirit World rushed towards the distant great vortex where Pei Qiqi was.

Nie Tian followed along.

A figure stood aghast on a floating landmass that was covered in ice.

“Grand Monarch Primal Wood and three Ancientspirit grand monarchs!” Pang Chicheng couldn’t believe his own eyes.

Having lost the Four Manifestations Flame Soul Cauldron, he couldn’t leave the Silent Star Sea on his own.

At the same time, since he had been worried that Nie Tian would be waiting for him in the magical land where that dilapidated altar stood, he had refrained from going back there to derive enlightenment from those titan arms, and had holed up in this frigid heaven and earth instead.

He had sealed all of his flame aura within to hide himself.

Since Grand Monarch Primal Wood and the Ancientspirit grand monarchs were focused on the Nether River and the distance between them was far too great, they didn’t sense his existence.

He, however, saw their enormous figures flying across the distant starry river.

“Nie Tian! How did he enter a friendly relationship with these grand monarchs from the Spirit World?”

Pang Chicheng thought hard, but failed to think of an answer. Even so, he realized that they seemed to be here to destroy the Nether River.
