BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1450: The Nether River Reappears!
“That’s right,” Pang Chicheng said. “I knew that if I awakened the Ripper Behemoth and let it devour those Ancientspirits and outsiders, the Seven Stars Realm Sea would rise again. See? Didn’t I do you another favor? The Seven Stars Realm Sea almost went dry because of you and those with you.
“Now, I’ve helped you replenish the sea. And instead of seeking revenge with the fire element sect, I decided to go to the Void World. Isn’t that good news for you?”
Pang Chicheng was confident and spirited as he spoke.
Pei Qiqi and Dong Li, who had been at each other’s throats, calmed down and fixed their eyes on him.
Floating over the Seven Stars Realm Sea, Yu Suying and Mo Qianfan let out a cold harrumph and unleashed their mighty auras that only God domain experts possessed.
Nie Tian, Pei Qiqi, and Dong Li’s strength had all risen to new heights. It wouldn’t be difficult for them to fight Pang Chicheng, even though he had entered the God domain.
“We can talk about it if you want to enter the Void World,” Nie Tian said. “However, the Seven Stars Realm Sea is in my domain, and I have control over the portal. If you want to use it, you’ll have to tell me why you awakened the Ripper Behemoth, what your deal with Xuan Guangyu, Shangguan Zhi, and those other people is, and why you want to enter the Void World.”
Pang Chicheng let out a cold harrumph. “I awakened the Ripper Behemoth to deal a heavy blow to the invading Ancientspirits and outsiders and put an end to this crisis for the human world. About Xuan Guangyu and the others, of course we’ve reached a mutual understanding, but I can’t tell you the details. As for why I want to enter the Void World, it’s even more not for you to know.”
Nie Tian nodded. “I see. If that’s the case, you may rely on yourself to enter the portal at the bottom of the sea.”
Pang Chicheng’s face froze. “Is this your attitude too, Miss Pei?”
Pei Qiqi looked at him with an expressionless face, and didn’t even bother to answer.
“Nie Tian, I’m giving you face and you should appreciate it!” Pang Chicheng bellowed. “I haven’t demanded the Flame Dragon Armor back yet! And I let go of the fact that you repeatedly sabotaged my plans in the Realm of Fire Spirit! Now, all I want is to use the portal to enter the Void World, yet you’re going to stand in my way?”
“What if I am?” Nie Tian didn’t give him face at all. “Pang Chicheng, don’t think that you’re so powerful now that you’ve entered the God domain and gained control of the Four Manifestations Flame Soul Cauldron. In fact, the early God domain isn’t that impressive. And since you’re not in the Realm of Fire Spirit, how much of the Four Manifestations Flame Soul Cauldron’s power can you display by relying on yourself?”
Pang Chicheng let out a cold snort. “So you have help here but I don’t. Is that what you’re saying?”
At that moment, the Spirit Pearl’s soul suddenly sensed something.
In the next moment, the sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society arrived at the Seven Stars Realm Sea.
“It’s you?” Nie Tian said with a sneer. “Weren’t you injured badly enough in the Realm of Fire Spirit? Have you forgotten that this Spirit Pearl of mine is a natural bane for your nether spirit spells? Have you forgotten how badly you fared in front of my five evil gods before?”
The face of the sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society turned ashen after hearing this.
“Not to mention that I have him by my side.” With these words, Nie Tian pointed at Mo Qianfan. “You and him are both at the early God domain, yet his lightning power will render all of your evil soul magics useless.”
Then, he turned to Pang Chicheng and continued, “It’s laughable if you want to rely on him to strong-arm me into activating the portal?”
“I don’t think it’s laughable at all,” Pang Chicheng said coldly.
“Oh, alright. Be my guest.” Nie Tian turned to the side, granting Pang Chicheng and the sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society access to the Seven Stars Realm Sea so they could try to enter the Void World through the portal by themselves.
WHOOSH!
The sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society morphed into a wisp of gray mist that dove into the Seven Stars Realm Sea in the blink of an eye.
A strange look appeared in Nie Tian’s eyes.
He was well-aware of how dangerous it was to enter the Seven Stars Realm Sea.
Only middle God domain experts like Luo Wanxiang, You Qimiao, and Jiang Yuanchi could contend against the violent energies and reach the bottom of the sea.
Even though the level of the Seven Stars Realm Sea was considerably lower than it had been, the portal remained unactivated. So what if the sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society could reach the sea bottom?
Pei Qiqi frowned and paid close attention to the man as he went down.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
To her surprise, the sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society seemed to be gathering soul power from the Seven Stars Realm Sea after entering the sea.
“Hmm?!”
All of a sudden, the Nether River, which Nie Tian had once examined through the Spirit Pearl, manifested in the Seven Stars Realm Sea!
The sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society stared unblinkingly at it, the color of his pupils gradually changing.
Like they were somehow being painted, they slowly turned dark cyan.
“Netherspirits have pupils that color!” Pei Qiqi exclaimed softly. “Something is wrong. This sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society seems to be going through changes!”
“Let me see!” With a swift move, Nie Tian grabbed the Spirit Pearl and pressed it between his eyebrows, and then concentrated all of his soul awareness on it.
He hoped to examine the Nether River using the Spirit Pearl as his third eye, so he could see what the sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society was up to.
HOWL! ROAR!
The five evil gods that were sealed in the misty cyan world inside the pearl by Illusory Ancient Talismans seemed to sense something, and suddenly grew restless. They let out mad howls and struggled nonstop.
It seemed that they were eager to break free from the Illusory Ancient Talismans!
“Something is wrong indeed!”
Ignoring the evil gods, Nie Tian rapidly formed a soul connection with the Spirit Pearl’s soul.
Suddenly, the Spirit Pearl seemed to become his eyes, through which he took a closer look at the Nether River that had appeared out of nowhere, and the sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society.
He noticed that glowing cyan spots were flying out of the Nether River and into the eyes of the sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society.
Each and every one of them contained extremely pure soul power and wisps of soul will.
Apparently, the sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society was receiving something from the Nether River.
“The Nether River was transformed from Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit’s soul awareness. A branch of it runs through the Phantasms’ ancestral land.” Nie Tian muttered. “Is this another branch of the Nether River? Why could the sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society activate it? And what is he receiving from it?”
What he didn’t know was that the sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society was experiencing tremendous changes in his sea of awareness.
Glowing cyan spots from the Nether River were fusing into his sea of awareness, where they blossomed and nourished a brand new soul.
The seed of the new soul seemed to have long since been planted in his sea of awareness. However, it had been quietly hiding in the dark and influencing him until now.
Now, as the cyan spots entered his sea of awareness, they seemed to activate that seed, allowing it to grow into a soul.
WHOOSH! The sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society took a deep breath, his eyes completely blackish-cyan.
His expression and the way he smiled made people feel that he had become a different person.
“So this is the Mortal World. It’s quite a place,” he said with a low dark laugh, and continued to absorb soul power from the Seven Stars Realm Sea, along with the part of Grand Monarch Dark Nether’s flesh aura that had somehow been transfused to it after his death.
Even Pang Chicheng’s expression flickered slightly as he asked, “What happened to you? You told me that you have the ability to open the portal, but you didn’t even sink to the bottom of the sea. What’s up with that?”
The sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society had told him that even without Pei Qiqi, he could activate the portal and help him enter the Void World.
He had also told him of many wonders and rare treasures of the Void World, many of which could help him advance to the middle God domain within a short period of time, and perhaps even the late God domain.
With a cunning laugh, the sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society said, “I’m a sub-soul of Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits, the high-chieftain of the Netherspirits of the Void World.”
