Lord of All Realms Chapter 1453: The Portal Is Seized!

Exuding a fierce aura, Pei Qiqi’s jade-like finger was as sharp as a sword.
FIZZ! FIZZ! FIZZ!
Reflected in the Space Boundaries Crystal, Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits’ strange soul clusters were popped one after another.
Many Void domain Qi warriors that had been bewitched by his soul voice instantly returned to their senses.
Thanks to this, Nie Tian didn’t have to go through trouble to awaken them himself.
“Miss Pei has become so powerful already?” Mo Qianfan from the Heavenly Thunder Sect muttered with a complicated look on his face. “That’s Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits from the Void World, for heaven’s sake. A mighty existence that made even us suffer!”
With a bitter smile, Yu Suying said, “Those three are no ordinary youngsters!”
She meant Pei Qiqi, Nie Tian, and Dong Li.
Mo Qianfan took a moment to think, and then nodded repeatedly. “You’re right.”
WHOOSH!
Wisps of cyan smoke flew out from the mouth, nose, and eyes of the sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society.
Upon flying into the Nether River, they morphed into cyan sparks that became a part of the mysterious river.
As soon as that happened, the sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society withered.
His sea of awareness seemed to instantly shrivel, like a deflated balloon.
All of a sudden, the branch of the Nether River that had miraculously appeared in the Seven Stars Realm Sea due to the rise of Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits’ will vanished.
BOOM!
The sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society exploded in the depths of the Seven Stars Realm Sea, as if he could no longer withstand the heavy pressure the sea put on him. His blood dispersed and became a part of the sea.
Dong Li stood aghast. “Now he’s dead. What happened to Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits’ sub-soul? Did it escape?”
“It fused into the Nether River and left with it.” With these words, Nie Tian flew closer and looked at where the Nether River had just vanished with a frown. “Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits of the Netherspirits managed to transform the soul of the sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society with nothing but one of his sub-souls. It seems to me that Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits practices an evil soul spell that allow him to plant ‘seeds’ in others’ minds, and make them sprout at a certain time.”
“Such a scary soul magic,” Mo Qianfan muttered with a grim expression. “If Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits could plant his soul will in the mind of the sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society without others finding out, could there be others among us that are being secretly manipulated by him like he did with the sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society?”
Everyone gasped upon hearing his words.
“The secret spells and incantations the Nether Spirit Society disciples practice are quite similar to those of the Phantasms,” Dong Li said as she withdrew her dark power. The endless darkness ebbed into her and the black tortoise like black tides. “Perhaps those like them, who practice special soul magics, are prone to Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits’ influence.”
After a short pause, she continued, “For example, the Spirit God Sect from the Realm of Dark Underworld in the Domain of the Falling Stars practiced secret magics that originated from the Phantasms’ bloodline magics. If we hadn’t wiped them out, but allowed their sectmaster to slowly rise to the same cultivation base as the sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society, he might have been able to establish a connection with Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits in the Void World and become his puppet.”
“That’s right,” Nie Tian said.
Gazing down at the rising sea, Yu Suying said, “We’ve got to guard the portal in the Seven Stars Realm Sea very carefully. I’m afraid Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits wants to open the portal because...”
“Because something happened to Senior Mo Heng, who was guarding it from the other side,” Pei Qiqi said.
Nie Tian’s heart took a jolt. “You think so too?”
“He may not be in danger, but the portal might have been sacked.” Pei Qiqi gave voice to her speculation. “I bet large numbers of Bonedrudes, Devils, and Netherspirits are waiting to swarm into our world through it, so they can do whatever they want here while we’re busy dealing with our other major troubles.”
Nie Tian took a deep breath and said, “If anyone wants to open the portal, they’ll have to rely on either your special bloodline or the five evil gods in my Spirit Pearl. You can decide whether you want to open or seal the portal with your Space Boundaries Crystal. That means I have to gain full control of the five evil gods in my Spirit Pearl!”
He made up his mind.
He decided to forget about the crisis in the Domain of Heaven Span for the time being, whether the Ripper Behemoth would chase after the Ancientspirits and outsiders or devour realms of the Domain of Heaven Span.
He had to tame the evil gods that were currently sealed by the Illusory Ancient Talismans first!
Just earlier, Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits had managed to summon the Spirit Pearl, along with the five evil gods within it, to him with nothing but one of his sub-souls. This made him realize that he had to do something.
The fundamental reason why the Spirit Pearl had escaped his control was because its soul had been far too weak.
The Spirit Pearl’s soul was a combination of the discarnate soul of a ninth grade Phantasm grand patriarch and a wisp of his soul essence.
However, all of the five evil gods had been late tenth grade Netherspirit grand monarchs that had served Grand Monarch Heavenly Spirit before they had died.
Plus, the discarnate souls and soul power the Spirit Pearl had gathered had helped them regain their strength.
With Blood Essence Irrigation, he had vested them with fleshly bodies, which had made them even stronger.
Later, during his trip to the Void World, they had been able to gather fragments of their souls and lost memories.
This had allowed them to slowly regain not only their strength, but their awareness and memories.
While they had grown stronger and stronger, the Spirit Pearl’s soul had lagged behind, the gap between them growing wider and wider.
That was why the Spirit Pearl’s soul had a hard time controlling the evil gods.
Face grim, Nie Tian took the Spirit Pearl from within his ring of holding and instantly established soul communication with it. “I have to figure out a way to solve this problem. Otherwise, they may be stirred again next time when experts like Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits come along. What can I do to truly tame those five evil gods?”
...
In the Void World where the portal stood.
HOWL! ROAR!
Countless ancient species of devilish beasts, Devils, bone chariots, Bonedrudes, and Netherspirits were gathered in front of the portal and letting out bloodcurdling howls.
Together, there were hundreds of thousands of them, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Dazzling devilish light shot straight up like pillars in some places.
Where the Netherspirits stood in a formidable formation, Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits’ sub-souls gathered in soul form, each of them exuding an aura as strong as that of a God domain human expert.
An illusory branch of the Nether River abruptly appeared in the dim starry river.
With fizzing sounds, glowing cyan spots flew out of the Nether River and into Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits’ gathered sub-souls.
Agatha of the Devils bowed respectfully in Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits’ direction and said, “Grand monarch! Why is the portal still not open from the other side?”
A Bonedrude grand monarch, whose pupils were murky gray, chimed in. “We’ve waited a long time, Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits.”
Not long ago, the three major races of the Void World had sent some of their grand monarchs to this area together.
Both Mo Heng and Jiang Yuanchi from the Shadow Society, who had been guarding the portal, had been severely injured by them as they were led by Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits’ sub-souls.
Mo Heng had only been able to escape because Jiang Yuanchi had wrapped him in his secret shadow magic.
As soon as the portal had been sacked, Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits had sent word to the Bonedrudes and Devils, asking them to send over more warriors and promising that the portal would soon be opened.
The Bonedrudes and Devils had done as they had been asked. However, they had waited in front of the portal a long time now, and there was still no sign of the portal being opened.
This portal that the Voidspirits had built to connect the Void World and the Mortal World was full of mysteries.
If the Bonedrude and Devil grand monarchs wanted, they could destroy it together.
However, they couldn’t solve the portal’s mysteries and activate it.
They could only put their hope in Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits, who had made promises to them.
After all, it hadn’t been peaceful in the Void World recently either.
Many of the three major races’ forbidden areas, which even they normally wouldn’t enter, had been intruded upon by peak experts from the Spirit World and the Mortal World.
The arrival of the human and outsider experts had plunged the Void World into lasting turbulence.
Seeing this, the three major races had decided to adopt another approach, and invade the Mortal World and the Spirit World. Their plan was to destroy their bases and kill their people while their peak experts were occupied.
“The sub-soul I planted in the sectmaster of the Nether Spirit Society failed to open the portal.” Grand Monarch Thousand Spirits’ soul voice echoed from his every sub-soul. “However, I did manage to make the situation in the human world more complicated. Perhaps it won’t be long before the elites of the Mortal World and Spirit World die in groups. Be patient. I have other plans.”
