Chapter 935: The Empyrean Demon Monarch

“The Blood Demon Emperor’s soul sure is powerful . His soul’s dissipated in my sea of consciousness, so I should be able to absorb it and strength my own soul,” thought Jian Chen . Without any hesitation, he collected his thoughts and began absorbing the soul .

On the ninth floor of the hall, Jian Chen currently sat on the ground with his legs crossed . His eyes were closed; no one knew exactly what had happened .

Nubis paced about worriedly beside him . He knew that the Blood Demon Emperor’s soul had entered Jian Chen’s sea of consciousness, but he could do nothing about the current situation . All he could do was wait on one side .

“Jian Chen, I really can’t help you this time . You have to survive . Nothing must happen to you,” Nubis prayed inside . Although he had only agreed to follow Jian Chen for ten years after being lured out of the Cross Mountains by a corpse of a clansmen, the relationship between the two of them had unknowingly undergone great changes after so many years . They were no longer bound by profit and had become close friends .  

As a result, Nubis felt extremely worried when Jian Chen faced up against such dangers .

Thysnich slowly stood up from the ground at this moment . When the Blood Demon Emperor had entered his mind earlier, he had devoured a small portion of his soul, causing great injury to Thysnich . He had only recovered just now .

Thysnich stared coldly at Jian Chen as killing intent poured from his eyes without restraint . He said coldly, “Octoterra Emperor, I never thought that you’d still be alive, much less think that this entire divine hall was just a scheme of yours . You wanted to draw us in from the outside so you could choose a talented body to possess . ” Thysnich had no idea that it was the Blood Demon Emperor . Even now, he still believed that person who tried to devour his soul was the Octoterra Emperor .

“Octoterra Emperor, the ruler of the Turtle clan’s soul must have been devoured by you already . It’ll still take you some time for you gain full control over the body, so that’ll be the perfect time to kill you . ” Thysnich’s face was sunken and his two blades were already in hand .

Nubis immediately blocked him as soon as he saw that Thysnich wanted to attack Jian Chen . He said coldly, “Don’t you dare harm Jian Chen when the great Nubis is here . ”

“Piss off, you’re not my opponent . If I wanted to kill you, it would be as simple as squashing an ant . ” Thysnich’s eyes were filled with disdain . He did not view Nubis as someone worthy .

How could the prideful Nubis endure such provocation from Thysnich? A tremendous presence immediately began to radiate from him and his gaze turned into a glare at that very moment . Killing intent began to surge without the slightest intention of restraint .

“Thysnich, there has never been a good outcome for those who dare to speak to the great Nubis like that . To me, killing you is a piece of cake . If it weren’t for the fact that someone had deposited that power in you, I really would be looking down on you,” Nubis growled .

“If it were some other time in some other place, I would definitely have a real battle with you and see just what you can do . Too bad it’s not right now . I need to eliminate the ruler of the Turtle clan or I probably won’t be able to leave this place after the Octoterra Emperor achieves full control . Nubis, I originally saved the emperor’s power for fighting over the legacy’s inheritance but now, I have to use it . I’ll completely end the lives of you two with a strand now . ” A terrifying and pure power radiated from Thysnich; it floated out slowly, before gathering at his fingertip .

This was an emperor’s power, the power a Saint Emperor deposited within him . At the same time, it was his greatest trump card .

Just a strand of it was enough to heavily wound Ninth Heavenly Layer Saint Kings .

Nubis’ complexion became extremely ugly . He could feel its power; it was certain death if he faced up against it .

Thysnich stared at the power at his fingertip and said, “It should be some type of great honor for you to die from a strand of emperor’s power . Nubis, Octoterra Emperor, I’ll end your lives completely right now . ” Killing intent flickered wildly in Thysnich’s eyes and he was about to shoot the power at them .

However, a huge stone slab fell from the ceiling at this very moment, creating a boom as it struck the ground .

Thysnich could not help but slow down due to the sudden occurrence . He looked up subconsciously .

A huge hole was revealed in the ceiling of the hall that had been covered up by the stone . A gentle azure light glowed from within but nothing inside could be seen clearly .

“T- this is the center of the Octoterra Divine Hall . It’s where the control center is!” Thysnich could not help but call out . His face was filled with joy; without any hesitation, he dispersed the power at his fingertip and shot into the hole .

The azure light quickly disappeared after Thysnich had entered, and in a moment it had completely vanished with the hole disappearing as well . The ceiling also perfectly returned to how it was before . All that was left was a large stone slab lying on the ground now .

“I never thought that was actually the center of the divine hall . ” Nubis stared at the ceiling in dejection, while envy burned and flickered in his eyes . Unfortunately, Thysnich had the emperor’s power, which was strong enough to even destroy the divine hall . He did not dare to fight over it with him at all .

The ninth floor of the hall became peaceful once again with Thysnich’s disappearance . Only Jian Chen and Nubis were still there .

Currently, Jian Chen devoted all his efforts into absorbing the Blood Demon Emperor’s remaining soul fragments . He placed all his attention on his sea of consciousness, completely unaware of the outside world . He was also unaware of the fact that Thysnich had entered the center of the divine hall . He would gain control over the hall without much time, allowing him to use the power of the divine hall as he wished .

Jian Chen had no impression of time inside his sea of consciousness . All he could feel was that his soul was rapidly becoming stronger, while the residual soul fragments were rapidly growing weaker .

Devouring one’s soul was virtually unheard of . It unheard of on the Tian Yuan Continent, as it basically would not happen in this world . The reason why the Blood Demon Emperor could devour both the Psalmic Emperor and the Octoterra Emperor’s souls was because he had the Empyrean Demon Orb .

Right now, the reason why Jian Chen could devour the Blood Demon Emperor’s soul was because he had entered Jian Chen’s sea of consciousness by himself . The collapsed soul would disperse into the surroundings with the death of its owner, but as it was in a different environment—Jian Chen’s sea of consciousness, it was able to survive and linger . This was the reason why Jian Chen could absorb the soul .

Jian Chen would not have been able to do this if it had occurred outside .

The soul contained fragments of memories and some comprehensions of the mysteries of the world, so when Jian Chen absorbed the soul, he took these for himself . This allowed his comprehension of the laws of the world to skyrocket .

Even though they were only incomplete fragments, they still came from the Blood Demon Emperor . Jian Chen benefited greatly from this, allowing his comprehension to shoot up to the level of a Seventh Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler’s from the First Heavenly Layer where he had stagnated . He caught up with the second layer of the Chaotic Body .

Time passed silently . Jian Chen finally absorbed all of the Blood Demon Emperor’s soul after some time, allowing his own soul to strengthen quickly .

The only pity he felt was that he did not see any memories from the Psalmic Emperor or the Octoterra Emperor from the fragments of souls . It was as if the Blood Demon Emperor did not learn anything about their memories at all when he had devoured them in the first place .

Jian Chen’s sea of consciousness had stopped churning long ago . Only the Empyrean Demon Orb floated in there as it shone with a demonic red light .

Jian Chen gathered his attention on the orb . The Empyrean Demon Orb clearly originated from the same era as the Azulet sword spirits . Jian Chen was extremely curious about its exact details .

“Zi Ying, Qing Suo, so what is this Empyrean Demon Orb?” Jian Chen asked the sword spirits . Right now, only the sword spirits could provide him with information regarding it, as even the Blood Emperor Demon had no idea about its true origins . All he knew was its name, and the fact that it was a special, wondrous item .

The sword spirits seemed to hesitate slightly before replying to Jian Chen’s question . “Master, the Empyrean Demon Orb was a famed treasure of the Empyrean Demon Monarch in the past . It was forged from her essence blood, and it’s quite a powerful demon artifact . ”

“So who’s this Empyrean Demon Monarch? Is she powerful? Why did her treasure end up here?” Jian Chen asked .

“The Empyrean Demon Monarch was a Demon Monarch of the Demon realm . Not only was she the greatest demoness, she was extremely powerful and stood at the peak of Demon Monarch, only an inch away from Demon Emperor . The Empyrean Demon Arts she created was extraordinary in power as well and was considered one of the high-level cultivation methods in the Demon realm at that time . The Soul Devouring Force cultivation method was infamous, able to kill on contact . It was extremely terrifying .

“This Soul Devouring Force is similar to the Qi of slaughter and the Baleful Yin Force master knows . These two powers are all derived from the Soul Devouring Force, and are much, much weaker when compared to it . ”

“Just that afterward, a great battle occurred where we were . It was extremely intense, leading to the deaths of countless experts in the void . The Empyrean Demon Monarch also perished in that battle . We too find it extremely odd that her Empyrean Demon Orb would appear here . ”
