Chapter 561: Since You Want Me to Stay, I Will!

A strong shudder ran through Nie Tian as he stared at Armes, flabbergasted. “Son of the Stars?”

According to Armes, in the eyes of the outsiders, the value of a Son of the Stars was far greater than that of the Domain of the Falling Stars.

How was this possible!?

Even though he had had a feeling that the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace was very powerful, and that their headquarters probably stood in prosperity somewhere in the boundless starry river for thousands of years, or even longer.

However, why would a single person they chose be even more important than the entire Domain of the Falling Stars?

Armes’s face was filled with seriousness and respect as he said, “Kid, you probably have no idea of what a Son of the Stars is because your cultivation base doesn’t allow you to fully refine the fragmentary star marks you’ve obtained yet. If you can make it out of here alive and refine those fragmentary star marks after entering the Worldly realm, you might understand what it means to be a Son of the Stars of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.

“But unfortunately, you won’t have the opportunity to do that, because your life has come to its end!”

With these words, Armes once again spit out a mouthful of blood as three clusters of cyan light shot out of his eyes and the prismatic crystal between his eyebrows.

As wisps of blood merged with the clusters of cyan light, they once again turned into three Soul Burning Seals.

However, unlike before, this time they vanished into thin air right after coming to form.

Before Nie Tian could figure out Armes’ intentions, three of his Heaven Eyes were suddenly hit by the Soul Burning Seals.

He instantly lost contact with them.

At the same time, he sensed that Armes’ three Soul Burning Seals didn’t dissipate after destroying those three Heaven Eyes of his, but instead, they went on to search for the other Heaven Eyes.

“Now that I’ve learned about your status, I finally understand what those small things you deploy in the vicinity are,” Armes said with a cold face. “As I think about it now, only Sons of the Stars are able to wield soul power at the Greater Heaven stage. This is why the legacies of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace are so powerful, and why the Sons of the Stars are so formidable.”

BANG! BANG!

As Armes spoke, Nie Tian’s other Heaven Eyes exploded one after another, as they were apparently found and destroyed by the Soul Burning Seals.

As a result, Nie Tian suddenly lost the images of his surroundings that reflected in his mind through those Heaven Eyes.

He knew that it wouldn’t be long before the other outsiders came from other parts of the island to surround him.

Armes alone was already hard to deal with. If his helpers arrived, Nie Tian would be in a very unfavorable position.

Armes laughed sinisterly. “I’m not letting you escape this time! Killing you will ensure the rise of my clan from among all the other Phantasm clans! We can even forget about retaking the Domain of the Falling Stars!”

“Dark Soul Ward!” With these words, the prismatic crystal between Armes’ eyebrows suddenly blossomed with bright cyan light. One drop of blood after another merged with the cyan light, and rapidly morphed into a magical restrictive ward that enveloped a very large area around him.

In Nie Tian’s eyes, heaven and earth within a two kilometer radius suddenly darkened. A gruesome and suffocating feeling quickly crept up on him.

With a cold snort, he summoned star power and cast a short-range Starshift.

BOOM!

He rammed hard into an invisible ward, a twisting agony coming from his mind as he did.

He felt as if his soul were being torn from his fleshly body.

Half of him was already through the ward, but the unbearable pain forced him to shrink back.

It seemed that Armes’ Dark Soul Ward allowed him to confine souls to certain area. If he forcibly charged out of the ward, his soul would be ripped from his body and kept within the ward.

Considering his current cultivation base, he was far from being able to separate his soul from his body. The forcible separation would instantly result in his death.

Furthermore, Armes was a Phantasm. Their bloodline talents perfectly agreed with the use of their profound soul power.

Even if he were able to separate his soul from his body, once his unprotected soul was exposed before Armes, Armes would annihilate it without any hesitation.

Suffering the agony from his soul, Nie Tian could only shrink back into the ward.

At this moment, he could already hear the other outsiders’ vague shouts in the distance.
