Chapter 1669: Signs of Chaos (1/2)

Nie Tian was overjoyed.

He had regretted and begrudged losing the Spirit Scepter this whole time.

He had assumed that Grand Monarch Soul Capturer, who had managed to refine the Nether River in the Realm of Dark Souls, would be able to refine the Spirit Scepter and sever his connection with it shortly after seizing it.

Who would have thought that Grand Monarch Soul Capturer had failed to do so?

“This is great!” His eyes lit up as he somehow sensed the exact location of the Spirit Scepter by relying on his subtle connection with it.

Then, he realized that by doing this, he could locate Grand Monarch Soul Capturer at any time.

However, Grand Monarch Soul Capturer couldn’t learn of his whereabouts through the Spirit Scepter.

“Just wait for it. I’ll pay Grand Monarch Soul Capturer and the Netherspirits a visit after my soul recovers and my bloodline upgrade is complete!”

Then, he adjusted his breathing and focused on refining his true soul, which had been branded with Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit’s soul wonders, with soul power he received from the Spirit Pearl.

It occurred to him that he needed to be at his peak state in order for his bloodline to finish its upgrade.

Not only did his flesh aura need to be brimming, but his soul had to be ready as well.

Earlier, Grand Monarch Life Wood’s residual power, the Blood-condensing Pills, and the flesh power he had gathered from the Devil warriors, beasts, and insects in the Domain of Shadow Devil had only helped him recover from his bodily injuries.

His true soul still had yet to recover.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The five evil gods suddenly flew out of the Spirit Pearl one after another.

Soul messages entered Nie Tian’s mind.

“Mmm!”

From the soul messages, Nie Tian learned that they each had a signature tool, which had been sealed away in the Void World after their demise.

Their connection with their tools had never been severed.

Now that they had recovered some of the power they had lost in their defeat at the Realm of Dark Souls, they wished to retake the tools they had forged in their previous lives.

Nie Tian granted their leave.

Therefore, the five evil gods left by themselves under the baffled gazes of Yin Xingtian, Dylan, and Grand Monarch Hell Demon.

Meanwhile, Nie Tian didn’t put the Rampage Behemoth’s bone away.

The crimson bone simply floated in the dark void under him, emanating blood-colored light and quietly devouring the wide variety of energies in the starry river.

Star Behemoths could absorb all sorts of energies, no matter how odd they were.

Also, it didn’t matter whether they were in the Mortal World, the Spirit World, or the Void World.

They might be the least picky ‘eaters’ throughout the three worlds.

Time flew.

Nie Tian continued to refine his true soul in the devastated Domain of Shadow Devil, so he could finish his bloodline upgrade when his soul reached its peak state.

What he didn’t know was that his existence had made every race in the Void World nervous.

...

In a corner of the Void World.

Grand Monarch Soul Slayer of the Netherspirits slowly turned the pages of a heavy, ancient book in his hand.

Each and every page seemed to weigh more than a mountain.

With every page he turned, a spatial shackle seemed to be added to this area of the starry river.
