Chapter 565: Wood Thriving Formation

Upon killing the Fiend, Nie Tian attempted to drain the Fiend’s flesh power with Life Drain the same way he had drained the flesh power from the other outsiders he had killed.

However, it turned out that even the Fiends’ flesh power contained toxins.

As wisps of flesh power poured back to him, not only did he not benefit from it, but he even suffered internal damage. Astonished, he hastily ceased the effort.

“The Fiends are indeed the strangest race in this world,” Nie Tian thought to himself. “Not only do they thrive in poisonous waters and swamps, but everything they possess is poisonous.”

Considering this, he had to give up on the idea of draining the Fiends’ flesh power.

After killing another two Fiends, he found himself rather close to the spell formation he had previously formed with the seventy-two tree branches.

The other Fiends were both shocked and furious upon seeing their friends being slaughtered one after another.

Even Sylon, who was controlling the poisonous mist from the outside, looked very grim upon seeing the deaths of his clansmen.

“A Son of the Stars is indeed far more powerful than those other puny human Qi warriors from the Domain of the Falling Stars! The kid is true to his title.” With these words, intense killing intent burst forth from within Sylon’s eyes as he suddenly charged into the thick, green mist and rapidly approached Nie Tian.

“Bloodline magic: Eye of Wither!” he yelled.

All of the remaining drops of extremely poisonous liquid that were still floating in the thick mist answered the summons of his bloodline talent and instantly converged on him.

In a flash, tens of thousands of drops of poison condensed into a giant eyeball.

The eyeball reflected multicolored light as it slowly rolled about. All of a sudden, its gaze landed on Nie Tian.

For some reason, upon seeing that Sylon had unleashed another profound bloodline magic, the other Fiends quietly backed away from Nie Tian.

Curious, Nie Tian, who was moving towards his spell formation, looked over his shoulder at the uncanny eye.

However, the moment his eyes met it, a violent shudder ran through him.

A vicious and destructive force seemed to have instantly passed to him through the exchange of looks.

At that moment, the originally huge Eye of Wither started to shrink in size, which meant its power was being consumed at a very high rate.

In a way Nie Tian couldn’t fathom, its vanishing power was somehow inflicting damage and negative influence on him.

The spiritual power ward Nie Tian had formed with his powers of various attributes didn’t seem to be able to defend against this influence at all.

Nie Tian was soon struck by a feeling that the rich flesh power that swam around in his internal organs was rapidly slipping away from him, like an ancient tree that had existed for thousands of years rapidly losing its vigor.

The rapid loss of flesh power gave him the terrifying feeling that he was going to die soon.

Gasping with astonishment and fear, he hastily broke eye contact with the Eye of Wither.

As soon as he did, its evil, blighting power seemed to have a weaker effect on him.

However, it seemed that as long as he remained in the sight of the Eye of Wither, he would still continue to lose his flesh power.

He also noticed that all of the other Fiends, who had originally backed away, were now gathered around and guarding the Eye of Wither.

“It seems that I’ll have to destroy that Eye of Wither if I want to get rid of its negative influence completely,” he thought to himself. “The fact that all the Fiends are now there to protect it indicates that it’s fairly fragile. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been so eager to form defenses around it.

“But how should I do it now that the Fiends are guarding it, let alone Sylon, who seems unfathomable, and has been controlling everything from the outside?”
