Chapter 1746: Who To Believe? (1/2)

In the dark land.

Each and every branch of the colossal Tree of Life brimmed with life power.

They released brilliant emerald green light like a green sea of energy.

All those who were enveloped in it were losing their life force and lifespan, whether it was the Ancient Arch-devil Zhao Shanling had transformed into, Yin Xingtian the Azure Heaven Divine Emperor, Dong Li, Feng Beiluo, or the other human experts.

ROAR!

As the Ancient Arch-devil roared in an ancient devil language, his words seemed to morph into runes shooting out of his gigantic devil form.

Numerous pure black and dark purple devil symbols and runes that recorded the birth, rise, and prosperity of the Devil race in the Void World rose from his devil form, and exploded in the space between him and the Tree of Life, as if to defend against its terrifying power.

“Devil Soul Shakes the Heavens!”

A pillar of cyan soul power blasted out of the forehead of the Ancient Arch-devil.

Like Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit’s Nether River, the pillar of soul power seemed to be made of innumerable tiny soul symbols, and carried numerous profound pieces of knowledge about souls that the Netherspirits wouldn’t impart to others.

“Hmm?!” The five evil gods, who were scattered in different areas and weren’t doing anything due to Nie Tian’s sudden disappearance, exclaimed simultaneously.

They had been at a loss for what to do after Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit’s last remaining awareness had been wiped out and Nie Tian had entered the Dark Abyss.

The Tree of Life’s aura had a lot in common with the aura of Nie Tian’s Blood Essence, which he had infused and built their bodies with. This made them lean towards the Tree of Life.

However, Zhao Shanling and Nie Tian had known each other for a very long time, and his earlier remarks had been rather persuasive.

Was the Tree of Life really Nie Tian’s enemy?

Since they couldn’t find the answer to that, they had decided to exercise restraint and pull away from the fierce battle between Zhao Shanling and the Tree of Life.

However, at this moment, they shrewdly sensed that the Ancient Arch-devil Zhao Shanling had transformed into was casting the Netherspirits’ profound soul spells.

A wondrous prismatic mark seemed to be condensed by Zhao Shanling with soul power, and manifested between his eyebrows. “I lived a life as a Netherspirit.

“I gave guidance to Heavenly Spirit once, before he became a grand monarch. So I guess I made a little contribution to his late transcendence as a paragon. I wonder if he ever mentioned a senior named Yama Soul to you.”

The five evil gods, who had been Netherspirits in their previous lives, gasped. Their eyes were filled with astonishment and surprise as they stared at Zhao Shanling. “Yama Spirit?!”

They had heard Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit mention a senior named Grand Monarch Yama Spirit quite a few times during the many ages they had served him as his right-hand men.

However, they had never heard others talk about him.

Also, they hadn’t found any records about him anywhere, as if this grand monarch had never existed in the history of the Netherspirits...

Even so, Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit had said more than once that the Grand Monarch Yama Soul who had given him guidance was the most mysteriously powerful senior at that time.

Even after he had transcended and become a paragon, he had still referred to that Grand Monarch Yama Spirit as his master...

The Tree of Life’s soul will suddenly surged. “So you played a part in Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit becoming a paragon and crossing the boundless Realm Sea to fight me as well. You made your plans carefully, and then carried them out through generations using different identities. How patient of you!”

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

All of a sudden, thousands of streaks of green light shot out of the roots of the Tree of Life towards Zhao Shanling’s Ancient Arch-devil form.

The pillar of soul power that looked like a Nether River exploded instantly, countless soul symbols spraying over a vast area like a rain of glowing spots.

The Ancient Arch-devil let out a muffled groan, and then shouted, “I don’t know what you’re waiting for! But let me tell you. If you don’t try to stop it, it’ll cost Nie Tian his chance at becoming a paragon!”

Yin Xingtian, Dong Li, and the others shuddered violently upon hearing this. “Nie Tian!”

One fierce gaze after another rapidly fixed on the third-generation Tree of Life.

Could Zhao Shanling be trusted?
