Chapter 493: Swarming Bugs

As they walked into the dense forest, Nie Tian scanned his surroundings with the help of his Heaven Eyes. At the same time, he sent a wisp of psychic awareness into his ring of holding.

He wanted to see if the Flame Dragon Armor had recovered its power and become usable again.

The Flame Dragon Armor was sitting quietly in his ring of holding. Sitting next to it, the prismatic fiery crystal had already lost ninety percent of the wisps of earthflame essence swimming inside it.

The Blood Core at the center of the chest area of the Flame Dragon Armor was still releasing misty, crimson light.

Strands of crimson light connected the Blood Core and the fiery crystal beside it. After a brief examination, Nie Tian discovered that the Flame Dragon Armor had recovered about half of its power by absorbing and refining earthflame essence from the fiery crystal.

As he attempted to communicate with the Flame Dragon Armor’s soul, he instantly received a reply.

Hence, he realized that although it had only recovered half of its power, it had become usable now.

As a Spirit Channeling grade treasure, the Flame Dragon Armor was extremely helpful. Even though it hadn’t been restored to its peak state, it would provide Nie Tian with significant assistance on various occasions.

His spirit was greatly lifted.

As a thought entered his mind, the Flame Star flew out of his ring of holding.

He reached out with one hand and assumed a tight grip on the Flame Star. Immediately, different powers rushed out of the vortexes in his spiritual sea and infused into it.

As his spiritual power flowed through the numerous special spell formations engraved in the Flame Star, his spiritual power was further refined and concentrated, and became incomparably pure and sharp.

Blade light of various colors rose from the tip of the Flame Star, like a spiritual snake flicking its multi-colored tongue.

Among it, a streak of green light appeared especially active.

“Yee?!” Surprised, Nie Tian stared blankly at the streak of green light, and instantly recognized that it was a streak of wood power.

The streak of wood power wiggled unceasingly, as if it were eager to break free from the combined blade light and fly towards the sky-reaching trees in the surroundings.

Curious and puzzled, Nie Tian glanced around at the ancient trees.

Each and every one of them was lush and hundreds of meters tall. Even the shortest one seemed no shorter than five hundred meters. Standing among them, he looked very tiny.

Fairly rich wood power started exuding from the branches and leaves of the huge trees around him, and started converging on him, as if it were attracted by that streak of wood power in the blade light.

He sent a wisp of his psychic awareness into his vortex of wood power, and discovered that the fragmented will he had received from the titan was rapidly gathering and reforming within his madly spinning vortex of wood power.

Hence, he became absorbed in his thoughts.

Compared to the wood power in the magical place where he had discovered a Tree of Life, the wood power on this floating continent was much fainter.

But even still, the wood power here was richer than any other place he had been to in the Domain of the Falling Stars.

After his previous trip to the magical place where a Tree of Life existed, he had absorbed enough pure wood power, and his vortex of wood power had already reached the point where it was ready for his breakthrough into the middle Greater Heaven stage.

Perhaps the reason why he induced such interactions between the ancient trees in this place and himself was because he had previously absorbed a copious amount of wood power from the magical place where the same type of ancient trees grew.

“I wonder whether it’ll trigger any changes if I launch attacks with my wood power.” With this thought in mind, he led Pei Qiqi deeper into the forest.

At this moment, Pei Qiqi had long since stored the Lightning Shuttle back in her ring of holding, and her slender physique was surrounded by multiple layers of rippling spatial energy.

As far as Nie Tian sensed it, Pei Qiqi seemed to have vanished from his side and entered a different space, making her completely undetectable by psychic awareness.

Since he was no stranger to Pei Qiqi’s mysterious abilities, he didn’t feel very surprised.

Some time passed...

Nie Tian came to a stop by the foot of a huge tree and said softly, “They’re right ahead.”

Three Heaven Eyes floated over the region ahead of them, where he could see five men and women dressed in the Poison Sect’s garments sitting in a circle and chatting in low voices.

As they chatted with their faces full of smiles, Nie Tian moved his Heaven Eyes to get a full grasp of the content of their conversations.

Eyes narrowed, Nie Tian explained to Pei Qiqi as he listened to their conversation intently, “Those five are one of the Poison Sect’s search teams. They’ve recently discovered this strange continent and already sent word to the others. Now they’re waiting for the arrival of their powerful experts.”
