Chapter 1668: Soul Detection (1/2)

BOOM!

A grand seal that had been refined from countless evil spirits and vicious souls exploded and perished inside the Chaos Behemoth’s mind.

It was a Heavenly Spirit Seal that Grand Monarch Soul Capturer had gone to great lengths to refine, with which he had attempted to gain control of the Chaos Behemoth!

Heavenly Spirit Seal was the only spell in this starry river that could manipulate the will of other beings and make them loyal to the spellcaster.

Nie Tian had originally gained the allegiance of the five evil gods with Heavenly Spirit Seals.

Grand Monarch Soul Capturer had only grasped the subtleties of this mighty spell after seizing the Spirit Scepter. Then, after consuming a tremendous amount of reserved spiritual materials and evil spirits of his race, he had finally made this Heavenly Spirit Seal.

The entire Netherspirit race had placed their hopes in it!

They had looked forward to enslaving the Chaos Behemoth with it!

Even at their prime, none of the three major races of the Void World had been able to tame a Star Behemoth and use it to their advantage.

Even though the Chaos Behemoth’s soul was not yet complete, it was still a Star Behemoth.

Now, just as Grand Monarch Soul Capturer was about to make this unprecedented achievement, the seal exploded, rendering all of his previous efforts in vain.

WHOOSH!

Wisps of strange soul power flew out of the Chaos Behemoth’s eyes as it howled with chaotic energy wreathing its colossal form.

The magical soul symbols that had been forced into them were now expelled by the Chaos Behemoth like bright, sparkling pearls.

The Spirit Scepter shook violently.

Veins popped up on Grand Monarch Soul Capturer’s Spirit Scepter-bearing hand. With a grim expression, he fixed his ghostly cyan eyes on the Spirit Scepter and felt the rebelling will within it. “You want to break free from me and rejoin that Nie Tian? I’m a Netherspirit. What I’m doing is for the good of our race!

“I can’t believe that as our ancestor, not only do you refuse to help your people, but you’re actually taking that human hybrid’s side!

“Explode!”

A stream of soul symbols flew out of the tip of his finger and into the pommel of the scepter, causing muffled explosions to come from within.

Only after a long while did the Spirit Scepter become quiet again.

However, Grand Monarch Soul Capturer didn’t stop being grim.

Bitterness filled his heart.

He had assumed now that he had obtained the Spirit Scepter through a series of ploys, his power was finally going to rise to a whole new level, and he could finally tame the Chaos Behemoth with the Heavenly Spirit Seal he had learned to refine.

Who would have thought that the Spirit Scepter turned out to be more trouble than help, since it was much more difficult to refine it than the Nether River in the Realm of Dark Souls?

Every now and then, the Spirit Scepter would try to break free, and it was usually at crucial moments when he had been dealing with the Chaos Behemoth.

A few times, its rebellious behavior had nearly caused him to be injured by the Chaos Behemoth.

Now, just as he had assumed that he had suppressed the Spirit Scepter’s rebellion for the most part, and he could finally enslave the Chaos Behemoth with the Heavenly Spirit Seal he had forged, the Spirit Scepter rebelled once again, completely ruining his plan to gain control of the Chaos Behemoth.

This put him in a foul mood.

A soul shadow of Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits quietly manifested out of nothing and asked, “Can you make another Heavenly Spirit Seal? There’s no way we can tame this Star Behemoth without one.”

“I’ll try,” Grand Monarch Soul Capturer said in frustration.

“What happened earlier? Didn’t you say that you can control the Spirit Scepter fully?” Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit asked.

“There was a mishap,” Grand Monarch Soul Capturer said, his unfathomable eyes seeming to see through boundless space and focus on the Domain of Shadow Devil. “Nie Tian is in the Devils’ territory. I can feel that he has recovered from his injuries. I don’t know why, but the Spirit Scepter seemed to suddenly sense something from him, and tried to rejoin him at all costs.”

Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit was flabbergasted. “How is that possible?!”

“You’d better talk to the Devils and urge them to do everything they can to kill him,” Grand Monarch Soul Capturer said with a very grim face. “I have a feeling that this Nie Tian might be an even greater threat to us than Qin Yao. He’s rising at a speed much faster than Qin Yao did in the Doomed Star Sea.
