Chapter 364: Rotspirit Ox (2/2)

“I-is this the spatial tunnel that leads to Demons’ realms?” Glancing around carefully, Nie Tian’s face was rapidly filled with astonishment.

FIZZ! FIZZ! FIZZ! FIZZ!

Behind him, an enormous gray vortex, laced with bits of glittering starlight, was floating and fluctuating.

He had come in through that gray vortex!

This was completely different from what he had pictured in his mind.

Originally , he was under the impression that, after being sucked into the spatial rift, he would keep falling, like falling down an endless well, and the huge spatial rift would be like the mouth of the well.

However, after his entrance, he realized that, if he compared the spatial tunnel to the Demons’ realms to be a horizontal well, the vortex he had just entered through would be somewhere in the middle of the well, and the vortex would be size of a grain.

Standing in front of that vortex, he saw the same things looking forward or backward.

With another look at the gray vortex laced with bits of starlight, he sensed strong fluctuations of spatial energy, so he was convinced that he would be able to pass through it into the Realm of Flame Heaven.

Meanwhile, numerous misty rivers of rich demon Qi were converging and attempting to flow into it.

However, in the heart of the vortex, the spell formation formed by bits of starlight prevented them from infiltrating.

As a thought appeared in his mind, he floated up the rivers of demon Qi to search for their source.

It wasn’t long before he discovered that a giant Demon was coming towards him by following the current of one of the demon Qi rivers at a fast speed.

ROOOAARRRR!!

The Demon let out a frenzied roar in the spatial tunnel.

Strangely, even though the previous roars had sounded so loud in the Realm of Flame Heaven that it caused Heaven and Earth to shake, this roar sounded very muffled and weak to Nie Tian, now that he was inside the spatial tunnel.

The Demon looked like a tremendous bull that was almost a hundred meters long. It was black from head to tail, and it had curved horns growing out of its head.

Its dark-purple eyes emanated a suffocating light, making them look like two purple suns in the dim spatial tunnel.

It seemed as if the gray vortex that led to the Realm of Flame Heaven had been its destination. However, as it caught sight of Nie Tian and charged towards him, it seemed very cautious, as if it feared something.

SHEW!

A streak of dazzlingly bright starlight suddenly whizzed out of the dusty-gray vortex like a shooting star.

In the next moment, the light pierced into the Demon’s flesh like a sharp arrow.

The Demon let out pained howls as it began to stagger its way towards Nie Tian.

Meanwhile, sparkling, bright spots made contact with its enormous body and exploded, creating extremely terrifying explosive power, inflicting serious pain and damage on the Demon.

Upon seeing such a scene, Nie Tian immediately realized that the Demon must have already made numerous attempts to approach the dusty-gray vortex, in order to charge through the spatial rift and enter the Realm of Flame Heaven.

However, the powerful restrictive spell formation left by the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace had played an important role. Not only had it repeatedly stopped the demon from approaching, but it had also injured it a few times.

Not only did Nie Tian discover many wounds on the Demon’s huge body, which had apparently been caused by the flashes of starlight, but he also noticed that the solid scales on its broad, mountain-like back were still sputtering sparks and arcs of starlight.

“Ah... No wonder it’s been using its roars to bewitch the mutant spirit beasts in the Realm of Flame Heaven. It’s because it can’t get close to the vortex.” With a quick glance at the Demon, Nie Tian managed to figure out the situation.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

At that moment, two figures flew out of the gray vortex, one after the other.

Floating quietly within the vast spatial tunnel, Nie Tian couldn’t help but exclaim, “Senior Huang! Mr. Hua!”

“Are you okay, Nie Tian?” Wearing an exquisite set of spiritual armor, Huang Fan descended in the spatial tunnel, surrounded by his floating banners. Armed to the teeth, he glanced around vigilantly, looking especially grim and nervous.

“Demon!!” He suddenly caught sight of the Demon, which was staggering, yet still marching towards them.

With a single glance at the excessively large Demon, Hua Mu called out its name. “Rotspirit Ox!”

“Nie Tian! Come back here now! Go back to the Realm of Flame Heaven with me!” He urged with an anxious expression on his face.
