Chapter 537: Invincibility
In the midst of the white mist, two fragmentary star marks continued to emanate dazzling starlight, making it look like Nie Tian had channeled two ancient stars from the depths of the starry river.
Su Lin, however, spewed out a mouthful of blood and stumbled backwards with astonishment filling her face upon the explosion of her purple, glowing sphere.
Of everyone present, she was the one who had the deepest understanding of Nie Tian’s formidable strength.
Their previous battle in the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace had made her realize how powerful Nie Tian had been. As a matter of fact, all these years after that, whenever she had thought about Nie Tian, she had compared him with Ning Yang.
She couldn’t help but think that if Ning Yang had been at the same cultivation stage as Nie Tian, he might not be able to beat Nie Tian in a battle.
Deep down, she had already considered Nie Tian to be the most formidable of the younger generation of the Domain of the Falling Stars.
Therefore, when she realized that the man before him was none other than Nie Tian, who had obtained all three fragmentary star marks and daringly turned down the Heaven Palace Sect’s offer, she rapidly made her decision that she would give up on the eighth grade black phoenix.
Her purple, glowing sphere had exploded, and the illusory spell created by her silk cloth had been neutralized. That meant that her two most powerful spiritual tools had failed.
Having made up her mind, she jumped out of the thick mist. With a grabbing motion, the piece of silk cloth flew back to her hand.
Then, as light as a butterfly, she sped off into the distance.
Guan Ye grew furious upon seeing her leave without saying anything to him after suffering a minor setback. “Junior Martial Sister Su!”
However, Su Lin completely ignored his call. She didn’t even turn her head back, but instead picked up her pace and disappeared into the distance.
Her actions had made it clear that she had decided to back out of the contest for the eighth grade black phoenix’s corpse.
However, Guan Ye, who possessed a higher cultivation base than her, didn’t plan to do the same.
With a furious roar, he suddenly pounced towards Dong Li with his Heaven Profound Mirror in hand. Apparently, he planned to kill Dong Li first to enrage Nie Tian, then when Nie Tian lost his clear mind from the rage, he would have better opportunities to kill him.
Upon realizing that Guan Ye had targeted Dong Li instead, Nie Tian burst into a flaming rage. “Don’t you dare!”
He forgot about Su Lin and the Earthshatter Beast’s eye, and instantly launched a Starshift.
In the next moment, he appeared before Guan Ye, blocking his path in midair. With a force of ten thousand kilos, he slammed the Flame Star down on Guan Ye’s Heaven Profound Mirror.
CRACK!
Three visible cracks instantly spread across the Heaven Profound Mirror, as if it could break at any moment.
Then, with his empty hand, Nie Tian made a fist like a metal hammer, infused it with his heart-brimming anger, and drove it into Guan Ye’s chest.
At the same time, the chaotic magnetic field he had surrounded himself with twisted Guan Ye’s spiritual sea.
Adding in the fact that Nie Tian’s Rage Punch came too abruptly, Guan Ye only managed to gather a limited amount of spiritual power to form a faint defensive ward around him.
BOOM!
Nie Tian’s fist bombarded the ward, his whole arm covered in bulging veins, as if the strike carried the wrath and unbending spirit of a titan.
Immediately afterwards, the faint spiritual power ward exploded like an eggshell.
However, the might of the punch didn’t wear off. It went straight into Guan Ye’s chest, breaking multiple ribs, and causing blood to spill from his mouth.
As that happened, a wisp of pure wood power, which Nie Tian had vested his Rage Punch with, flew into Guan Ye’s bloodstained chest. “Heavenly Wood Thorns!”
Wood power rapidly morphed into a small tree that glowed with green light. Then, as it madly devoured Guan Ye’s flesh power, it spread at an alarming speed.
Before Guan Ye could do anything, the new thorns pierced through his heart and killed him.
With the Flame Star in his other hand, Nie Tian penetrated Guan Ye’s chest and pinned him to the ground in the middle of the other corpses he had put there.
WHOOSH!
Nie Tian suddenly spun around in midair and shot towards those from the Heaven Expanse Sect and Thunder Mountain Sect like a fierce devil.
While sailing through the air, he made a grabbing motion, and the Flame Star flew back into his palm, dragging a tail of flames.
The three Qi warriors from the Heaven Expanse Sect and Thunder Mountain Sect gasped, shock filling their faces. “He killed Guan Ye!!”
The reason why they hadn’t dared to make any moves after coming to this place was because they had noticed the corpses lying around Nie Tian.
At first, they hadn’t been sure who had killed those people.
