Chapter 219: Bloodline Awakening (1/2)
Everything happened so fast that by the time Nie Tian had realized the danger, the purple flowers had already left the plants and chased after all the Greater Heaven stage experts like countless rotating blossoms made of sharp blades.
Meanwhile, the Bone Blood Demon had been tangled up by the plants and was experiencing great difficulty in moving its legs.
Nie Tian unleashed his psychic awareness to examine his surroundings, and was vaguely able to sense that a continuous stream of strange aura, which thrummed with fluctuating surges of a mysterious energy, was flowing out of Zelia and quietly infusing into the ground.
“This is her bloodline talent!” Nie Tian, who had recently awakened his first bloodline talent, immediately realized that Zelia was using her bloodline talent to infuse the plants with rich demon Qi, and therefore provide them with the life force they needed to grow rapidly.
BANG!
For every bit the Bone Blood Demon moved its legs, numerous vines would break and fall to the ground before they turned into purple liquid and seeped back into the earth as a fertilizer.
At the same time, more new plants would crawl up the Bone Blood Demon’s legs in an attempt to hold it down.
POOH!
A purple flower rammed right into a Blood Sect expert’s chest like a cannon shell. His chest immediately became a bloody mess, with big chunks of flesh flung out from his body by the rotating, razor-like petals.
FIZZ!
Then the devilish flower exploded, filling the area with a cluster of raging, purple flames.
Engulfed by the flames, the Greater Heaven stage expert’s skin and flesh rapidly melted away from his bones as he soon became nothing but a skeleton.
“Corrosive flames!” Nie Tian’s expression flickered.
The flowers alone were already dreadful enough. He didn’t expect that they could also create acidic flames that even Greater Heaven stage Qi warriors couldn’t withstand upon exploding.
“It’s your turn now.” A vicious smile appeared on Zelia’s face as her eyes that resembled two glittering, purple gems fixed on Nie Tian.
PUFF! PUFF!
Several flowers suddenly exploded and turned into a dozen clusters of purple flames.
The corrosive flames seemed to have their own souls as they swiftly avoided the Bone Blood Demon’s blocking hands and flew towards Nie Tian, who was standing on the Bone Blood Demon’s shoulder.
Faint, lavender-colored smoke lingered in the space that the purple flames sailed through.
Face very grim, Nie Tian racked in his brain for a way to defend against the incoming flames while controlling the Bone Blood Demon with his will.
Just as he felt that he was at his wits’ end, he heard a series of rapid and vigorous heartbeats from the Bone Blood Demon.
He immediately turned around to look at the Bone Blood Demon’s eyes, which were a mysterious green color, similar to Ghost Eye’s pupils.
As its heart pounded faster and faster, its grayish-green eyes gradually shed their original color and took on a dark-gray color.
Numerous fine threads could be seen swimming about within those eyes as they occasionally glittered with bright light.
Then, Nie Tian looked down towards the Bone Blood Demon’s chest, and saw its giant heart throbbing abnormally rapidly behind those impenetrable rib bones.
ROOOOOOAR!
The Bone Blood Demon threw its head back and roared. An intense aura of death spread out with it at the center.
Nie Tian unleashed his psychic awareness to scan his surroundings, and saw that the gray aura was rapidly extending in every direction, as if it were bringing death to the entire area.
“Bloodline power!” For the first time, Zelia’s expression flickered, her delicate face turning pale all of a sudden.
In the next moment, Nie Tian noticed that the twisted plants around the Bone Blood Demon that were still madly growing out of the ground seemed to have suddenly reached the end of their lives and rapidly withered away.
The clusters of purple flames that were coming straight at him also immediately dissipated.
“Eighth level bloodline power!” Face ghastly, Zelia coughed up a mouthful of blood and stumbled backwards, before dashing straight back into the enormous vortex of demon Qi.
As the aura of death spread further into the surroundings, all the plants withered and died.
Upon seeing this scene, Hong Can, Zou Yi, and the others also ran away from Nie Tian and the Bone Blood Demon at the fastest speed possible, fearing that the gray, deadly aura would catch up to them.
