Chapter 518: The End of the Segmen (1/2)

Chapter 518: The End of the Segment

After bidding farewell to Qian Xin, Nie Tian headed directly towards the end of the segment of the band that swirled downwards unceasingly.

On his way, he noticed a number of battles between Qi warriors from the Realm of a Hundred Battles and members of the Spirit God Sect and Flame God Sect.

Since the people from the Realm of a Hundred Battles were superior in numbers, they had the advantage in all of those battles.

A quarter hour later, he bounced off a floating boulder high into the air, and landed in the colorful area that marked the end of the segment.

As he examined his surroundings with rapt attention, he discovered that the floating landmasses and boulders were gradually disappearing after drifting into the colorful band.

The strip of colorful band seemed to be stopping every living being with flesh and blood, since none of the Greater Heaven stage Qi warriors were able to pass it.

However, all of the lifeless objects, including floating boulders, landmasses, remains of ancient starships, and dead outsiders, seemed completely unaffected as they drifted into the colorful strip and disappeared.

He also discovered that people could stand on the colorful strip, which seemed soft and resilient, like a large cluster of clouds.

Near the center of the colorful area, Dong Baijie and Dong Li had already summoned their gray wolf and black phoenix, and they were fighting Yang Kan together.

Not far from them, two disciples of the Flame God Sect were attacking Qin Yan from two sides.

While Nie Tian stood still and observed the situation, Feng Ying arrived. Upon seeing that Qin Yan was surrounded, she instantly rushed over, shouting, “Big Sister Qin Yan!”

Nie Tian, however, wasn’t in a hurry to join the battle. He went on to obtain a thorough understanding of the situation in this area with the help of his Heaven Eyes.

Through one of them, he saw a person sitting quietly in a corner of the colorful strip.

It was a man from the Spirit God Sect who had a skinny face. His eyes shone with vicious light as he manipulated his Soul Banners.

Both Dong Baijie and Dong Li were at the middle Greater Heaven stage, and possessed high battle prowesses which cultivators at their level shouldn’t have. Even so, the two of them still weren’t able to subdue Yang Kan together.

Other than Yang Kan’s formidable battle prowess, part of the credit went to that Qi warrior from the Spirit God Sect.

The man manipulated his Soul Banners to hover around Dong Baijie and Dong Li, and constantly unleashed screaming discarnate souls on Dong Baijie and Dong Li’s beast spirits.

The Dong Clan’s Beast Spirit Incantation allowed their members to enhance their battle prowess with their beast spirits.

However, at this moment, Dong Baijie and Dong Li’s gray wolf and black phoenix were being constantly harassed by numerous discarnate souls. It was like they were wearing shackles, and couldn’t display their true might.

That was when Nie Tian realized that killing that sneaking Qi warrior from the Spirit God Sect was the key to helping Dong Baijie and Dong Li.

Just as Nie Tian started moving towards the Spirit God Sect Qi warrior, the man suddenly called out to Yang Kan, “Big Brother Yang! If we drag our battle on too long, more men from the Realm of a Hundred Battles will arrive. We won’t have enough men to fight them.”

Upon hearing these words, Yang Kan, whose every move sent out raging flames into his surroundings, laughed wildly and said, “Why so nervous, Lu Jian? These few losers aren’t even enough for me to kill!”

The other two disciples of the Flame God Sect both seemed incomparably calm, as if they were very confident in Yang Kan’s battle prowess.

“That guy is on to me,” Lu Jian shouted, staring at Nie Tian. “Once I get into a fight with him, I won’t be able to keep those beast spirits busy for you anymore.”

“The kid is only at the early Greater Heaven stage! What kind of great pressure can he give you?!” Yang Kan made fun of Lu Jian.

Lu Jian rolled his eyes and fell silent.

He had long since noticed Nie Tian, and that his gaze had swept across the battlefield before finally landing on him.

At first, he hadn’t paid much attention to him. However, as Nie Tian’s burning gaze landed on him, he felt very uneasy, which didn’t make sense, because his cultivation base was at the middle Greater Heaven stage, higher than Nie Tian’s.

Even so, he had a feeling that a battle with Nie Tian wouldn’t be an easy one, and that once the battle started, he wouldn’t have the energy to distract Dong Li and Dong Baijie’s beast spirits with his Soul Banners anymore.

That was why he had urged Yang Kan to bring out his most powerful means and end the battle as quickly as possible.

However, Yang Kan was known to be an arrogant man, and had completely ignored his reminder.

“Mu Han! Come here! Big sister Qin Yan and I need you help!”

Feng Ying felt the strong pressure from the two Flame God Sect disciples after she rushed over to Qin Yan’s aid, and thus hastily called for help.

However, Nie Tian just took a glance at Qin Yan and Feng Ying before turning his eyes away, not showing any desire to help them.

As he once again laid his eyes on Lu Jian from the Spirit God Sect, he said expressionlessly, “Oh, right. I killed Chang Yuan on my way here.”

Lu Jian stood aghast. “You killed senior martial brother Chang Yuan?!”

Nie Tian grinned slowly. “And you’re next.”

The moment he formed a chaotic magnetic field around him, he flashed right before Lu Jian with a short-range Starshift.

“Hmm?!” Yang Kan, who was dealing with Dong Li and Dong Baijie at the same time, gasped slightly upon noticing Nie Tian’s strange movement skill.

“Big Brother Yang!” Lu Jian exclaimed as he jumped backwards subconsciously. “This guy is by no means insignificant!”

Nie Tian launched another short-range Starshift and appeared behind Lu Jian.

He once again took out a tree branch from within his ring of holding.

As soon as he infused his wood power into the green branch, it turned translucent and sparkling, and all of the mysterious tree patterns that were branded inside of it started glittering.

The wood power was enhanced as it flowed through the branch, and burst forth from the tip of the branch.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

One Soul Banner after another rushed over towards Nie Tian upon Lu Jian’s summons.
