Chapter 567: One vs Many

Sitting in the Wood Thriving Formation, Nie Tian finally opened his eyes.

After a brief examination, he discovered that he had already replenished about fifty percent of the star power he had consumed during his recent battles.

Meanwhile, even though he hadn’t recovered much of his flame power and wood power, the injuries Sylon had inflicted on him with his poisonous mist and Eye of Wither had healed completely.

This was, to a great extent, thanks to the fact that he had absorbed copious amounts of flesh power when he had killed the Blackscales and Stonemen earlier. That concentrated essence of flesh filled his every bone and internal organ. He even had a significant amount left after his injuries were rapidly and fully healed.

Now, he was ready to fight again.

Seeing that the Wood Thriving Formation was having great difficulty powering the ward by absorbing wood power from further areas, he sprang to his feet.

Upon seeing Nie Tian’s sudden move, Armes’ expression flickered. Without much thought, he once again launched his bloodline soul magic, enveloping heaven and earth where Nie Tian was standing. “Bloodline magic! Dark Soul Ward!”

Armes did this because he knew that Nie Tian would be able to escape with the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s Starshift if he didn’t.

Should Nie Tian escape from this area, he might very well establish the Wood Thriving Formation again in another location that was surrounded by lush plants and vegetation.

He also knew that it wouldn’t take a large amount of energy for him to reestablish the Wood Thriving Formation.

Once it was established, it would automatically absorb wood power from its surroundings to power itself.

If Nie Tian managed to do that, it meant they would need to spend hours, or even days, to break the spell formation all over again.

With his Dark Soul Ward, Armes could prevent Nie Tian from leaving the area with Starshifts, since Nie Tian couldn’t separate his soul from his body yet.

BOOM! BOOM!

The outsiders’ raging attacks continued to storm down on the dark green ward around Nie Tian, filling the air with lightning bolts, blood-colored light, and rolling thunder.

Bereft of replenishing wood power, the dark green ward finally shattered.

The moment it did, Nie Tian’s hand wove a few times in the air, and the translucent sparkling tree branches flew back into his ring of holding like swallows returning to their nest.

At the same time, he let out an explosive roar. “Let’s play!”

The Flame Dragon Armor, which had lain dormant for a long time, flew out of his ring of holding like a flood dragon whooshing out of an unfathomable lake.

In a split second, Nie Tian was clad in the majestic Flame Dragon Armor.

Since it was almost as heavy as a mountain, every time he had worn it before, he had experienced great difficulty moving about. However, he felt that its weight was rather bearable this time.

After a moment of pondering, he quickly realized that, after he had refined his body with Heavenly Wood Heal, crystallizing his bones, his body had already become much stronger than before.

In the next moment, he sensed wisps of his fierce flesh power seeping out of his pores and flying into the Flame Dragon Armor, bonding him and the Flame Dragon Armor in an unprecedentedly close way.

Furthermore, the flesh power the Flame Dragon Armor channeled from him was mixed with flame power, as it seemed that this armor with a mysterious origin could only be infused with flame power and flesh power together.

Numerous detailed and beautiful flame patterns could be seen on the armor, as if they were clusters of blazing flames.

Immediately afterwards, crackling and burning sounds filled the air around Nie Tian, as incomparably fierce flames that could burn the heavens and destroy the earth burst forth from within him.

With a vicious grin, he suddenly shot up into the sky.

All of the outsiders roared as they fixed their gazes on Nie Tian, their eyes brimming with endless killing intent. “He’s come out of the ward!”

“Kill him! We can’t let this Son of the Stars escape!”

“That’s right! If he survives this incident, after he returns to the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace and makes advancements in his cultivation, he’ll definitely come to wipe out our clans!”

Nie Tian, however, morphed into a streak of blazing flames and, in the time it takes a spark to fly off of a piece of flint, flew to the Eye of Wither that was suspended in midair.

The Flame Star slashed down with full force.

He could sense with great clarity that streams of flames flew out of the Blood Core embedded in the chest of the Flame Dragon Armor.

As the streams of flames poured madly into the Flame Star, the fiery spell formations engraved within it shook as they seemed to reach their maximum volume.

The Flame Star sent out a blade light that was a mixture of the Flame Dragon Armor’s fierce flame power and Nie Tian’s flame power and flesh power. In midair, it rapidly morphed into a flame dragon that was capable of destroying heaven and earth.
