Chapter 25: A Different Place

FIZZ!

The condensed drop of blood in the animal bone flared up when Nie Tian’s mind drifted into it.

In the blood, his saw strands of fire suddenly twisting and interweaving with each other, forming a strange animal pattern.

The pattern was in the shape of a dragon, but it was constantly changing and full of mystery.

“Whoah!” Nie Tian exhaled softly and tried to calm his mind.

It was as if a secret switch had been activated. The animal bone flew from his palm and quietly floated up in front of his chest, emanating scorching flames.

His mind instantly returned from the animal bone to reality, however his eyes were still focused on it.

WHOOSH!!

Strands of flames started to swirl around the animal bone and seemingly produced a terrifying gravitational force.

After a few seconds, the animal bone and the lines of fire evolved into a flame vortex.

CRACKLE!

The formation of the flame vortex was followed by a strange sound from the surroundings, where numerous colorful spatial rifts appeared.

Surrounding objects within his room, such as the tea set on the stone table and the clothes on the bed, were forcibly sucked into the spatial rifts, and vanished in the blink of an eye.

A moment later, even the stone table and the stone slab on the ground were sucked into the rifts.

CREAK! CREAK!

The bed Nie Tian was sitting on began to buckle because of the immense suction, as if it was also about to fly into the spatial rifts with him in tow.

Suddenly, fear sprang up in his heart, as if he were suddenly aware that he might never see his grandfather and Nie Qian ever again..

Even as fear overwhelmed him and he was about to cry out for help, the flame vortex became like the mouth of a ferocious monster and gulped him down.

Then, the flame vortex drastically shrank down into a grain-sized spark of fire.

The spark of fire flickered a few times, and then disappeared into thin air.

WHOOSH!

The gravitational force increased dramatically and the flashing spatial rifts swallowed everything in the room before closing up one by one.

Only after the flame vortex and the oddly flashing spatial rifts vanished, was the small room suddenly peaceful once again.

However, the stone table, stone chair, wooden bed, and everything else was gone along with Nie Tian.

Shortly, the voice of Nie Qian came from outside. “Little Tian, are you sleeping?”

Nie Donghai, despite having voiced his belief that Nie Tian could control the animal bone, was still worried about him, especially after being told of the terrifying qualities of the animal bone by Nie Qian. As such, he had come along with Nie Qian. He wanted to use his experience and vision to explore the secret of the animal bone again.

Nie Qian called a few times, but when she got no response, forced Nie Tian’s door open.

“Ah!” she screamed as she stepped into the room, finding everything in the room was gone.

Blue veins bulged on Nie Donghai’s forehead. “How dare the Yuan clan kidnap Little Tian from our home!” he raged, not even taking the time to think about the situation.

He instantly assumed that Yuan Qiuying, after discovering that her two assassins were missing, had sent other powerful experts to take Nie Tian away.

“Father, what should we do?” Nie Qian shouted in a state of utter stupefaction. “What should we do to get him back!?”

“The Yun clan and Yuan clan must immediately release Little Tian! I am going to talk to my second brother who is the master of the Nie clan. If he is unwilling to stand out and protect Little Tian, I will never spare him! Nie Donghai left in a rage and rushed to find Nie Beichuan in the hope of freeing Nie Tian as soon as possible.

“Yuan Qiuying, should anything untoward happen to Little Tian, I will go after you till my last breath!” Nie Qian swore in sadness.

…

In the unknown world, the density of the spiritual energy defied any imagination.

Eight dragon skeletons could be seen, each around a thousand meters long. They were arranged in an octagonal pattern, with their heads all pointing toward an old, dilapidated altar, a structure stained with blotches of blood that made it seem as if it had been mercilessly eroded by time.

A spark suddenly gleamed from within the heart of the altar, which rapidly swelled into a fireball.

BANG!

The figure of a child could be seen flying out from the fireball down onto the ground.

CLANK!

Then, the gigantic fireball shrunk into a small piece of bone and dropped down near the foot of the kid.
