Chapter 1738: Killing The Hope (1/2)

This was a backlash from Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit’s residual will!

This was his attempt to come back to life, just like the time when he had attempted to wipe out Grand Monarch Nether Spirit’s awareness and possess his body permanently in the Spirit World.

Grand Monarch Nether Spirit, who was now known as Grand Monarch Soul Capturer, was aware of what was happening as soon as he saw the cyan gem on the Spirit Scepter bursting forth with dazzling light and heard the soul echo ‘Soul Disturbance.’

An old trick was being played!

Grand Monarch Nether Spirit shook his head and muttered, “Nie Tian, Nie Tian...”

Then, he suddenly split into numerous soul shadows that floated ethereally in Dong Li and Pei Qiqi’s surroundings.

Each and every one of them kept a close watch on Nie Tian and the Spirit Scepter and waited eagerly for the result of their confrontation.

Meanwhile, the five evil gods floated motionlessly in the air, as if they were completely fettered by Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit’s power.

Even though they would probably acknowledge him as their former master, Nie Tian was their master, who had given them brand new fleshly bodies.

To eliminate the possibility of mishaps, he had confined them with his power.

As the sharp end of the Spirit Scepter was about to pierce into the spot between Nie Tian’s eyebrows, a downscaled Nether River that was even tinier than a hair flew out of the tip of the scepter.

Surprisingly, even though this Nether River was so tiny that it was hard to see, it wasn’t illusory like all the others!

Instead, it was the crystallization of Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit’s last remaining soul awareness and soul power!

It could even be said that this tiny, sparkling Nether River was what was left of Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit!

At this point, a deep sigh echoed out directly from Nie Tian’s chest, from his heart.

The sigh was filled with disappointment.

In the next moment, the Spirit Scepter started shaking violently. An extremely light shade of blood-red spread quietly from the heart of that cyan gem, and devoured the cyan in the gem at an alarming rate!

The tiny, sparkling Nether River immediately started fleeing, as if it had its own awareness.

It appeared to be eager to escape from Nie Tian, the Spirit Scepter, and this dark land!

The glazed look in Nie Tian’s eyes was suddenly replaced by an icy, ruthless look. “Why do you have to do this?”

Then, in a split second, his Life-origin Form, which was more than ten thousands meters tall, shrank to the size of a thumb.

In a swift motion, he caught the tiny, sparkling Nether River with two fingers. “I thought you could be refined into a loyal soul for the Spirit Scepter. But apparently, your residual will doesn’t allow you to be someone else’s tool.

“You finally gave in to the temptation, thinking that you could possess me while my soul was away in the endless blood sea.

“Too bad you failed.”

Nie Tian shook his head slightly, and incomparably dazzling light burst forth from between his fingers.

Flesh aura essence, fiery light, sparks of star power, and soul storms seemed to pour madly into the tiny, sparkling Nether River through his fingers.

If this Nether River, which carried Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit’s residual awareness, was put under a microscope, one would be able to see numerous soul symbols exploding within it like countless realms in a vast starry river.

A large number of soul strings that were used to script profound soul spells and record truths of soul power were burned to ashes like gigantic dragons, along with Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit’s memories that they contained.

Countless cyan sparks at the bottom of the Nether River were wrapped around by cyan flesh auras and melted away.

This tiny bit of Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit’s last remaining soul essence had hidden itself all this time in the Nether Rivers in the three worlds and the Spirit Scepter, and had almost never exposed itself.

Even Nie Tian only knew that it hadn’t perished after his physical demise.

However, all of his efforts to dig it out had failed.

All he had been able to do was wait for it to lose its patience and come out by itself.

Now, the time had finally come for him to snuff out this wisp of Grand Monarch Nether Spirit’s soul essence and rid this starry river of his influence.
