Chapter 1551: Dominating the Domain of Endless Snow
In the chilly starry river.
Barbara of the Netherspirits, who had come from the Seven Stars Realm Sea, couldn’t stop trembling.
At the same time, blood started coming out of her cold, fierce eyes.
“Barbara!” Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits’ doppelgänger and the few grand monarchs protecting her were flabbergasted by what was happening to her.
Her bleeding eyes were a sign of her over-consuming her soul power.
However, she was only wielding the Spirit Scepter with a wisp of her soul. How could she possibly over-consume her soul power within such a short period of time?
Even Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits didn’t know what to do as he asked anxiously, “What’s going on, Barbara? Don’t tell me that the Spirit Scepter failed to absorb the Spirit Pearl after entering the Realm of Falling Snow.”
Ophelia of the Demons also exclaimed softly, “Lady Barbara!”
However, this young outsider grand monarch, who had come with an overbearing manner and made many other outsider grand monarchs wait upon her cautiously, seemed to turn a deaf ear to their calls.
Or perhaps she couldn’t hear them to begin with.
“The Realm of Falling Snow!” Expression flickering, Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits’ doppelgänger ordered, “Look after Barbara’s true self. I’ll go to the Realm of Falling Snow and see what’s going on.”
“Got it!”
…
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
The nation of ghosts the Spirit Scepter had formed by channeling the discarnate souls of all lives that had died in the nearby realms was sucked bit by bit into the Profound Truths Crystal like an illusory reflection.
Barbara’s soul shadow within the cyan gem on top of the scepter looked more sinister than ever.
Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits didn’t know that she had already transfused the vast majority of her soul power to the Spirit Scepter by relying on her soul connection with it.
Her plan was to annihilate Nie Tian with a single strike.
But now, to her astonishment, she discovered that the power she had channeled from the Nether River and the discarnate souls she had summoned from the nearby realms by casting exquisite soul spells was gradually escaping her control.
She couldn’t stop the nation of ghosts she had created from being absorbed by the peculiar crystal.
Not only that, but she also had a scary feeling that the power making up the illusory Nether Rivers, which made the Spirit Scepter so powerful, were also morphing into numerous sparks that fused into that crystal.
The five evil gods suddenly grew excited.
“It’s our master’s aura!”
“That crystal contains our master’s aura!”
They shrewdly sensed Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit’s unique soul aura from the Profound Truths Crystal!
The Spirit Scepter was the soul weapon Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit had used when he had been alive, which was why it carried his soul aura.
However, compared to the Profound Truths Crystal, Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit’s soul aura within the Spirit Scepter was much fainter.
“Ahh!”
Barbara’s soul shadow within the Spirit Scepter let out a miserable shriek.
Her soul connection with this precious treasure of the Netherspirits seemed to be growing weaker and weaker.
“You... you!”
Her soul shadow glared at Nie Tian and his peculiar Profound Truths Crystal, sensing the power of the Spirit Scepter being transferred towards the crystal.
However, there was nothing she could do to stop it!
Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits’ doppelgänger arrived with a whoosh. “Barbara!”
Even before arriving, Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits had noticed that the entire Realm of Falling Snow seemed to have turned into a terrifying nation of ghosts, which was very much like their people’s most profound bloodline incantation: Nether Soul Realm.
It appeared that any spirit or soul that dared to enter it would be trapped in it for all eternity.
However, he was shocked to find that Nie Tian’s soul aura filled the entire Realm of Falling Snow, as if he were the god of spirits that ruled this Nether Soul Realm!
Also, he saw streaks of cyan light flying out of the Spirit Scepter and fusing into the cyan crystal floating before Nie Tian like endless streams.
“That’s...” Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits’ doppelgänger sensed the crystal with his soul, and fear instantly filled his heart.
From the crystal, he sensed an immense, ancient, indestructible aura that seemed to dominate the souls of all lives, which was very similar to the aura of the Nether River, yet different in some way.
“Help me!” Barbara’s soul shadow cried for help from within the gem on top of the Spirit Scepter.
Nie Tian’s face split into a nasty grin. “You’re nothing but a doppelgänger, yet you have the audacity to mess with my business!”
He expanded at an alarming rate, and became nine thousand meters tall in the blink of an eye.
He casually grabbed some of the burning Blood Essence that was floating in the sky and stuffed it into the crimson bone in his hand.
The Star Behemoth bone then morphed into a bolt of lightning that shot towards Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits’ doppelgänger.
HOWL!
The devastating howl of a Star Behemoth from the Primal Era seemed to echo from within the crimson lightning bolt. The mighty vibration even ripped Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits’ doppelgänger’s flesh open.
The toughness of the Netherspirits’ fleshly bodies weren’t comparable to that of Devils and Bonedrudes.
Not to mention that this was only a doppelgänger of Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits.
Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits had close to a thousand sub-souls. Close to a hundred of them were doppelgängers with fleshly bodies. This doppelgänger of his seemed to be suddenly weakened by the mighty howl coming from the Star Behemoth bone.
“Domain Split!”
The crimson lightning bolt suddenly split into countless rays of blood-colored light that rapidly interwove into an enormous net that enveloped Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits’ doppelgänger.
Within seconds, the doppelgänger was cut into a thousand pieces.
Then, with loud booms, the chunks of flesh and bone exploded into a bloody mist that filled the sky.
In the bloody mist, Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits’ sub-soul ran for its life. In a split second, it managed to fly out of the Realm of Falling Snow and arrive beside Barbara’s true self in the form of a soul shadow.
Many powerful experts from the Void World gasped upon seeing Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits’ sub-soul that returned after the explosion of its fleshly body. “Grand monarch!”
How could that Nie Tian be so powerful?
Barbara, who wielded the Spirit Scepter, had a deep understanding of various soul spells. Even though the grand monarchs present weren’t impressed by her fleshly strength, they were all apprehensive about the kind of damage she could cause with the Spirit Scepter.
Yet, she failed to annihilate Nie Tian’s true soul in the Realm of Falling Snow?
Even though Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits had only presented himself in one of his doppelgängers, he was a late tenth grade grand monarch after all. The strength of his doppelgänger should be equal to that of an early tenth grade Netherspirit grand monarch.
Yet, his doppelgänger was reduced to bloody mist so easily, and only his sub-soul managed to escape?
“Ahh!”
Cyan wisps of smoke started coming out of the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth of Barbara, who they were keeping a close watch on.
With a violent shudder, she snapped awake and screamed hysterically, “My Spirit Scepter!”
BOOM!
Nie Tian, who was nine thousand meters tall in his enlarged form, charged out of the Realm of Falling Snow and into the starry river.
The Spirit Scepter, which the Netherspirits considered their most precious treasure, could be seen floating before his chest. It just looked rather tiny compared to his enormous body.
He gently pressed his giant palm towards it, and it vanished.
“The floating continent!”
Then, he dashed towards the floating continent as if he were treading on stars.
With every step, he covered thousands of kilometers, quickly approaching the floating continent.
