Chapter 1650: A Narrow Escape (2/2)

Feng Beiluo was taken aback. “What wrongdoing?”

Pei Qiqi fell silent.

HOWL!

A begrudging howl suddenly rumbled through everyone’s minds.

It was a howl from the Rampage Behemoth.

Yuan Jiuchuan’s finger was shaking violently. He was just about to be defeated by Grand Monarch Soul Capturer’s residual power when streams of rich, crimson flesh aura poured out of the Rampage Behemoth’s bone and into Nie Tian.

That begrudging howl had been from one of these streams of flesh aura.

With every mad howl that echoed out, the Soul-capturing Hand mark on Nie Tian’s forehead grew slightly fainter, along with Grand Monarch Soul Capturer’s residual power in Nie Tian’s sea of awareness.

It wasn’t long before the mark completely vanished.

Grand Monarch Soul Capturer’s residual power was finally purged by the Rampage Behemoth’s flesh aura, Yuan Jiuchuan’s lightning power, and Nie Tian’s own resistance.

That was also when Nie Tian weakly opened his eyes.

The Thunder Devil withdrew his finger with a hearty smile. “You’re finally awake, young master.”

With these words, he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood. Numerous fine lightning wisps could be seen flying out of him, but perishing immediately after leaving his body.

Those lightning wisps somehow contained Grand Monarch Soul Capturer’s aura.

Staring at them, the Thunder Devil said with a grim expression, “That Netherspirit grand monarch put his sigil on every one of us. I suppose he’s already learned our position. It won’t be long before members of the three major races find their way here.”

“Where are the others?” Nie Tian asked.

“See for yourself,” Yuan Jiuchuan said with a bitter smile before turning sideways to let him see Pei Qiqi, Feng Beiluo, and the evil gods, who were covered in blood and floating motionlessly among the drifting corpses. “Everyone other than Lord Feng and I are in poor condition, especially you and Miss Pei.”

“I’m fine. I just don’t have power to use for the time being.” Pei Qiqi said. “I’m afraid that I can’t use Void Travel anytime soon.”

“The most important thing is that you’re still alive.” With these words, Nie Tian sat up straight.

Wisp after wisp of his flesh aura flitted through his every internal organ, bone, and muscle, meticulously examining the heavy injuries his body had sustained.

His meridians were severed. His bones were shattered. His muscles were torn.

There wasn’t a single place on him that didn’t hurt.

Furthermore, most of the injuries were internal, and couldn’t be made out from the outside.

After long-term refinement, he was convinced that his fleshly body was already tougher than that of a late tenth grade Devil grand monarch. He hadn’t suffered such heavy blows to his body since he had mastered Heavenly Wood Heal.

Not only was his body suffering, but his soul was in distress as well.

While his sub-souls were in a relatively good condition, his true soul, which had derived profound truths from the Nether Rivers, had shrunk significantly, and become blurry and less condensed.

He even had a feeling that it would soon dissipate if it were to leave his body.

This was a sign of soul power over-consumption and soul injury.

Given enough flesh power, his fleshly injuries would be fairly easy to heal. However, it would be much more time-consuming to recover from his soul injuries, especially now that he had lost the Spirit Scepter.

A strong sense of failure had been eating him alive from the moment he had opened his eyes. It had opened his eyes to the truth, that he still had a long way to go before he could contend against the peak experts of the Void World.

After killing Grand Monarch Ash Bone with the evil gods’ help and slaying the three middle tenth grade Devil grand monarchs in the Forbidden Land of Devil Refinement, his confidence had skyrocketed, putting him under the impression that he was invincible.

This had made him arrogant, and he thought that the so-called top ten grand monarchs of the Void World weren’t to be feared.

His battle against Grand Monarch Soul Capturer was like a pot of cold water that had been dumped on him.

It was a lesson that had made him realize how shallow he still was.

Grand Monarch Soul Capturer was only the second strongest expert of the Void World, who was weaker than Grand Monarch Heaven Devil of the Devils. However, the power he had manifested with the Nether River had been beyond his imagination. He could easily inflict severe damage upon him and even destroy him.

Now that Grand Monarch Soul Capturer had obtained the Spirit Scepter, his battle prowess might have risen even higher.

Even that Chaos Behemoth, which had smashed its way into the Realm of Dark Souls, might not be able to match him in battle. Once it was surrounded by the Netherspirit experts, it might not be able to escape.

After a long while, he let out a sigh of frustration and said, “It’s my fault. I thought too much of myself. After I entered the God domain and battled Grand Monarch Ash Bone and Grand Monarch Eternal Purgatory in the Spirit World, I falsely believed that so-called late tenth grade grand monarchs were nothing to be afraid of. That made me think that I could do whatever I wanted in the Void World. Then, I rashly entered the Netherspirits’ ancestral land and learned my lesson the hard way.”

At that moment, Feng Beiluo, who had relaxed after seeing Nie Tian coming to, glanced around and suddenly exclaimed in shock, “Miss Pei, is this place...?!”
