Chapter 530: Too Weak to Withstand a Single Strike!

As Hong He’s skull was shattered by Nie Tian, his life force rapidly dissipated.

In the meantime, the green thorns inside of him stopped spreading and quickly withered.

As Nie Tian pulled the tree branch out of Hong He’s back, Dong Li swooped down from the air with her black phoenix behind her back.

Dong Li smiled heartily. “You’re finished?”

Still wreathed in intense killing intent, Nie Tian nodded and said, “Thank you for what you’ve done for me. You just rest here. I’ll go send the other rat on his way to the Yellow Springs.”

“Who?” Dong Li asked.

“Huang Hu from the Heaven Palace Sect,” Nie Tian answered with a cold snort.

“Is he also here?” Dong Li asked, looking somewhat worried. “You just finished your breakthrough, and you consumed some power to kill this one. Are you gonna be okay?”

She hadn’t expected that Nie Tian would kill Hong He with a single strike right after he made his breakthrough.

From her extended fight against Hong He, she had learned that, even though the man was a disgusting asshole, he wasn’t easy to deal with.

After all, he was at the late Greater Heaven stage.

She was worried that, since Nie Tian had just made his breakthrough, he still might need some time to adjust to his newly-achieved cultivation base. Furthermore, he might have been so eager to kill Hong He just now that his new cultivation base was shaken.

Smiling viciously and confidently, Nie Tian said, “Rest assured. From the look of it, only Greater Heaven stage cultivators are brought to this part of the continent. From now on, I’ll become the judge of life and death in this region! All of the so-called core disciples of the other sects will be at my mercy!”

“None of them who are sent to this region can match my strength!”

With these words, Nie Tian sped off towards Huang Hu, who was charging in his direction.

Dong Li’s eyes shone with the light of excitement. “Unmatched strength!”

Having spent so much time with Nie Tian, she had long since understood that he practiced multiple powers, mastered the divine magics of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, and possessed unique abilities that she couldn’t even fathom. In her eyes, he was a total ‘freak’.

With his shocking battle prowess, Nie Tian had repeatedly proven to her that the so-called chosen ones from the powerful sects in the Domain of the Falling Stars weren’t as formidable as they thought they were.

Now that he had advanced to the middle Greater Heaven stage, he was finally confident enough to declare that he was the brightest star throughout the entire Domain of the Falling Stars.

The strength and confidence she heard from his words put butterflies in her stomach.

In many ways, Dong Li was similar to her older brother. A good example would be that they both admired people who could defeat them.

The reason why she had thought up every possible method to force Nie Tian to go on that exploration trip to the Realm of Dark Underworld with her was because she had been repeatedly outplayed by Nie Tian in the Realm of the Split Void.

Only those who could put her at her wits’ end would truly intrigue her and receive her attention.

Up to this day, Nie Tian was the only one who had managed to do so.

As Dong Li watched Nie Tian leave from behind, images kept flashing across her mind. Only after a while did she snap back to reality and mutter to herself, “Pei Qiqi, this man... is mine!”

…

Huang Hu had picked up his pace the moment he had seen Dong Li swooping down from midair with her black phoenix behind her back, hoping that he would help Hong He kill her.

However, he didn’t realize that Nie Tian had already awoken from his cultivation and killed Hong He with a lightning quick strike.

After all, he didn’t have any Heaven Eyes to help him obtain a full understanding of the situation over in Nie Tian and Hong He’s location.

All he could see in that direction was the Earthshatter Beast’s enormous corpse, and later Nie Tian, who had a vicious smile on his face.

Even then, he still thought that Hong He was alive and was fighting Dong Li behind the Earthshatter Beast’s corpse.

As for Nie Tian, even though he hadn’t figured out Nie Tian’s identity during their first encounter, he had made out that he had been trying to break through into the middle Greater Heaven stage. Therefore, he hadn’t viewed Nie Tian as a threat to him at all.

Even though he wasn’t one of the Heaven Palace Sect’s core disciples, he was able to learn and practice the Heaven Palace Sect’s top incantations and magics thanks to his relationship with Huang Fan.

Aside from a few chosen ones from the other powerful sects in the Domain of the Falling Stars, he didn’t think others at his cultivation stage would have what it took to subdue him.

He knew every single one of those chosen ones, and Nie Tian wasn’t one of them.

Confident in his own strength, he came to a stop and waited for Nie Tian to come to him with a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.
