Chapter 1650: A Narrow Escape (1/2)

In a corner of the Void World.

Countless corpses were drifting in the starry river like dead flies.

Those corpses belonged to a wide array of species, such as humans, spirit beasts, Demons, Phantasms, dragons, and species that didn’t belong to the Mortal World or the Spirit World.

If Bonedrude or Bonebrute grand monarchs were here, they would easily sense the wisps of death power those floating corpses were emanating.

All of a sudden, a tiny spot of light appeared in the midst of the floating corpses, and rapidly expanded.

In a few seconds, it expanded into a glorious spatial tunnel that spit out bloody figures like beans pouring out of a can.

The last one that flew out was Pei Qiqi, who could barely hold on to her Space Boundaries Crystal, her azure robes also covered in blood.

“Miss Pei!” Feng Beiluo, who was barely injured, hurried to her side.

Meanwhile, Yuan Jiuchuan, the Thunder Devil, hesitated for a bit, and then decided to stay with Nie Tian and watch the enormous evil gods crush hundreds of floating corpses in their surroundings.

All five evil gods were covered in bone-deep gashes. Their souls were withering, with a few sparks of fire burning in their pupils.

The sparks of fire in their eyes suggested that Grand Monarch Soul Capturer’s Soul-burning Blood Spell still hadn’t worn off.

The Rampage Behemoth’s bone, which had followed Nie Tian through the spatial rift, floated lifelessly behind Nie Tian’s head.

FIZZ! FIZZ!

Cyan wisps kept sputtering from Nie Tian’s head as he lay unconsciously in the void, facing up.

Grand Monarch Soul Capturer’s Soul-capturing Hand seemed to have transformed into a unique tattoo that manifested on Nie Tian’s forehead between his eyebrows. It was like an insidious face of Grand Monarch Soul Capturer that was laughing at everyone present.

“Young master!” the Thunder Devil called softly.

However, Nie Tian didn’t seem to be able to hear him. His eyelids flickered nonstop, as if he were contending against Grand Monarch Soul Capturer’s residual power in his sea of awareness.

After a moment of hesitation, Yuan Jiuchuan said in a grim voice, “Sorry, but I have to do this.”

He pressed his finger on Nie Tian’s forehead with tremendous force.

BOOM!

Raging lightning power instantly slammed into the Soul-capturing Hand tattoo between Nie Tian’s eyebrows.

The thirty-six profound laws of lightning and thunder that the Thunder Devil had derived in his lifetime morphed into bolts of lightning that engaged in a frenzied fight against Grand Monarch Soul Capturer’s residual power.

Yuan Jiuchuan’s face turned grim, as if he was facing a formidable foe.

As he dealt heavy blows to the ghostly hand with lightning power, he vaguely heard Grand Monarch Soul Capturer’s furious bellows.

At the same time, Grand Monarch Soul Capturer’s residual power transformed into evil spirits and vicious souls of several dozen kinds that tore at the magical laws of lightning and thunder with their fangs and claws.

With every magical law they snapped, the Thunder Devil would let out a moan of pain, and his face would grow slightly paler.

Not far away from them, Pei Qiqi subconsciously covered her lips with her jade-like hand, but blood slipped through her light cyan fingers.

Like tiny azure meteors, wisps of her blood floated ethereally into the starry river around her, and spontaneously activated a bloodline talent.

Then, in a peculiar way, they vanished.

Feng Beiluo from the Heavenly Corpse Sect was floating next to her. He was just about to help her when he suddenly saw the wisps of blood magically vanish. Confusion filled his face.

After a long while, Pei Qiqi opened her eyes.

After spending a second on Feng Beiluo, her gaze quickly wandered about in search of Nie Tian. “Where’s Nie Tian? Is... he okay?”

As she finally saw Nie Tian lying not far from her, and that Yuan Jiuchuan was pressing his forehead with a finger, she shook violently and flared at him, “Thunder Devil! If you dare to hurt him while he’s vulnerable, I’ll hunt you down and kill you no matter where you hide!”

She didn’t notice the beads of sweat rolling down Yuan Jiuchuan’s face, or the fact that thunderballs were perishing one by one at the tip of his fingers like tiny lightning domains.

Feng Beiluo hurried to explain, “You’ve misunderstood. He’d never have the audacity to harm the young master. In fact, he has had nothing but heartfelt admiration for the young master since he returned from the Seven Stars Realm Sea.”

Hearing this, Pei Qiqi calmed down and realized that Yuan Jiuchuan was indeed helping Nie Tian.

“Your blood...” Feng Beiluo said curiously.

A complicated look appeared in Pei Qiqi’s eyes as she said, “It left for the space disruption zone, the Voidspirits’ ancestral land. They should be able to receive word of our encounters in the Void World and the fact that we’re badly injured soon. We’re in the Void World, the home of the three powerful races, and I’ve over-consumed my bloodline power...

“I’m afraid I can no longer get you to safety.

“I only sent word to the Voidspirits because I want to see if they’ll do something to atone for their wrongdoing after learning about the situation.”
