Chapter 542: Formidable Outsider Enemies

As Nie Tian drove his Flame Star into the Stoneman’s chest, he felt unprecedented resistance from his stony skin and muscle. Fortunately, he was being rapidly drained of flesh power, which stopped him from summoning any effective defenses. Thus, the Flame Star went through his heart eventually.

ROOOAARRRR!!

The Stoneman let out one last agonized scream, and died.

One wisp of engorged flesh power after another followed the Flame Star back to Nie Tian’s body after draining every last bit of the Stoneman’s flesh power.

Nie Tian gasped slightly as he sensed the wisps of extremely rich flesh power that came pouring back into him, along with thriving life force.

At this moment, the green aura coiled up in his heart was still dormant.

The green aura was branded with the endless profound mysteries of bloodline power. Even though it was dormant, Nie Tian was able to use any of his awakened bloodline talents.

As he had unleashed the Life Drain earlier, he hadn’t felt any obstructions or anomalies.

Meanwhile, the dormant green aura didn’t try to absorb the rich flesh power Nie Tian had taken from the Stoneman. Therefore, the rich flesh power scattered and dispersed into every corner of his body, infusing every bone and every muscle with great power and vigor, and quietly tempering his whole body.

The flesh power he had consumed during his battle against the Stoneman was instantly restored.

The extra flesh power kept nourishing his body, making him feel full of vigor.

Then, as he slowly pulled his Flame Star out of the Stoneman’s chest, he discovered to his surprise that, after his Life Drain was done with him, the originally bulky outsider had actually shrunk significantly.

He could no longer detect a shred of flesh power from his shriveled corpse, as if even his blood had been drained completely.

“Nie Tian!”

“You’re Nie Tian from the Realm of Flame Heaven?!”

Ye Qin from the Yin Sect and Chen Hao from the Yang Sect exclaimed almost simultaneously.

The two of them were the Yin Sect’s and the Yang Sect’s most valued core disciples. Their sects had poured many cultivation resources into them. However, they hadn’t been there when Nie Tian had sealed the spatial rift in the Realm of a Thousand Devastations with his three fragmentary star marks.

Back then, the Soul realm Xing Huanyue and Li Muyang were there to lead their teams of Profound realm and Worldly realm experts.

Even though Ye Qin and Chen Hao were core disciples, since their cultivation bases had been too low to make a difference, they hadn’t been allowed to join the operation.

None of the other Yin Sect and Yang Sect disciples had witnessed the sealing process, or seen Nie Tian in person.

Even so, Nie Tian’s name was known to every man and woman in the sects in the Realm of a Thousand Devastations.

They all knew that if Nie Tian hadn’t come and sealed that spatial rift, the Realm of a Thousand Devastations would most likely have been flooded by invading Demons.

Because of this, they had developed special feelings for Nie Tian. The Yin Sect and the Yang Sect had even risked going to war with the Heaven Palace Sect just to support Nie Tian’s decision.

Now that they had heard the newcomer was Nie Tian, they were both shocked and overjoyed.

Then, after seeing that Nie Tian had so quickly killed a Stoneman and learning that people from the Ice Pavilion Sect were on their way here, they all felt, to a great extent, relieved.

The tallest Stoneman, who seemed to be the leader, gazed coldly at Nie Tian and asked in broken human language, “Who are you?”

He was also rather shocked to see that Nie Tian was able to kill one of his clansmen within such a short time.

“Your enemy. Let’s just leave it at that.” Then, with a ferocious grin, Nie Tian swung his Flame Star in the air, sending a blade light that was more than ten meters long flying directly towards the Stoneman leader. Glorious sparks of starlight could be seen in the long streak of blade light.

The Stoneman gasped with astonishment upon seeing the sparkling starlight. “Successor of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace!”

It seemed as if not only had he heard of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s awe-inspiring reputation, but he had personally witnessed the mighty strength of successors of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace. Therefore, the mere sight of the dazzling starlight rattled him.

“Nie Tian!” Ye Qin from the Yin Sect exclaimed. “Help me kill him! He’s the leader!”

Ye Qin was a young woman of graceful beauty. She was dressed in a plain, silver-white robe, which was embroidered with moons and flowers at the cuffs. With every move she made, she filled her surroundings with chilly moonlight.

As she formed an elegant hand seal, a glowing, crescent-moon-shaped blade that was about a meter long suddenly appeared in the air, and started attacking the Stoneman leader’s vital parts repeatedly, such as his neck and eyes.

Ye Qin floated about in the air as lightly as a feather, always keeping a safe distance from the Stoneman leader.

She seemed to know that her spiritual tool and the profound moon power within it wouldn’t be able to penetrate the Stoneman’s stony, thick skin, and that fighting him at close quarters would put her in danger. Therefore, she attacked him from a safe distance, and she only aimed at his eyes, neck, and parts that weren’t protected by his armor-like skin.
