Chapter 463: Life Drain

Nie Tian immediately stopped absorbing flame power from the Flame Crystals in his hand and talking to Dong Li.

Instead, he closed his eyes to examine the green aura with his mind.

This wasn’t the first time the green aura had behaved this way.

In fact, the green aura, which carried the profound truths of life, had already transcended two times before, giving Nie Tian the Life Transfer and the Life Stealth bloodline talents.

However, both those times, the green aura had gone through long dormant periods before exploding with a new bloodline talent.

As for this time, Nie Tian had expected that the green aura would need a long time to digest the copious amount of life power it had absorbed from a Fruit of Life in the magical dimension.

He could still vividly remember the green aura lying dormant for a very long time after accumulating enough flesh power. Only then did the transcendence finally happen.

But perhaps because the life power the green aura had absorbed from the Fruit of Life this time was incomparably rich, the digestion process turned out to be unprecedentedly smooth and short. Therefore, the transcendence was achieved earlier this time.

“The transcendence of my bloodline will mean the awakening of a new bloodline talent!”

After a wisp of his psychic awareness swam to his heart and saw that the crystal-like chains within the green aura were emanating dazzling light, Nie Tian was convinced that his speculation was correct.

An ancient and mysterious aura of life suddenly burst forth from within the green aura, which was now glittering with dazzling, green light.

New crystal-like chains that were as fine as hairs seemed to be born under the inducing effect of the explosive aura of life.

As soon as new crystal-like chains came to form, they mangled with the old ones, aligning into profound, ever-changing formations.

As that happened, the strong aura of life that burst forth from within the green aura suddenly seemed to spread to the nine Heaven Eyes Nie Tian had scattered in the vicinity. An even more profound connection was established between them and the green aura in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, the image of every living creature within a 500 kilometer range was reflected in Nie Tian’s mind.

It felt as if his soul had split into nine parts, which were infused into each Heaven Eye that was floating high in the sky.

The perception of his Heaven Eyes had also greatly improved over an incredibly short time.

Before, each of his Heaven Eyes was only able to perceive life within a few kilometers’ range.

However, at this moment, thanks to the new-born, crystal-like chains and the stimulation of the strong aura of life, their perception range and sensitivity had increased by almost a hundred times.

Now, Nie Tian was even able to accurately detect the smallest insects in the depths of the earth within a 500 kilometer radius.

The location he was currently in was a desolate and uninhabited corner. Every inch of land was barren and lifeless.

The Realm of Unbounded Desolation was a strange place where not a single blade of grass grew. Even insects couldn’t survive its horrible climate. Powerful spirit beasts only roamed the volcanic areas where flame power was rich.

However, Nie Tian was able to detect four clusters of life aura aside from theirs within his perception range.

Three of them were constantly moving about and floating in the air.

Thus, Nie Tian was convinced that they belonged to powerful experts from the Tool Sect.

Only one cluster of life aura was hiding in the depths of the earth behind numerous isolation wards.

Even though the perception of his Heaven Eyes had skyrocketed, he was only barely able to catch a few wisps of the aura of that life.

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

At this moment, Dong Li, Li Jing, and the others who were practicing cultivation in the same mountain valley as Nie Tian suddenly experienced abnormally accelerated heartbeats.

They all opened their eyes and glanced around. They knew something was causing the anomaly, yet couldn’t identify it.

At the same time...

The three Profound realm Tool Sect experts who were searching in the vicinity also experienced accelerated heartbeats.

They were Zhu Bin, Zhen Huilan, who had returned from the Bone Sect’s ruins empty-handed, and Qin Yi.

As soon as they experienced the anomaly in three different locations, they all stopped in midair and started scanning their surroundings with their immense, sea-like soul awarenesses.
