Chapter 579: A Dilapidated Starship

It was two days before the agreed time between Nie Tian and that ancient awareness. Nie Tian had thought that he would be able to ride out these two days peacefully. Never had he thought that another unforeseen event would come.

All of the young Qi warriors stopped chatting and gazed up into the sky.

An enormous object had suddenly appeared, floating over the island. It was so large that it looked like one of the floating lands they had seen on the top continent.

However, it seemed to be made of pure metal, since it emanated an ice-cold, metallic luster throughout its body.

It was one of the Phantasms’ ancient starships.

It looked very similar to the one Nie Tian, Dong Li, and the others had seen in the Realm of Dark Underworld. The only difference was that this one looked more dilapidated.

Many structures on the ancient starship were broken. Deep gashes could be seen in many places. It was in such a poor state that it looked as if it would explode at any moment.

“That’s one of the Phantasms’ ancient starships!” Cao Qiushui exclaimed, fear filling his eyes. “High-tier Phantasms have come for us! What do we do?”

Everyone looked very grim, as they all felt that they were facing certain death.

Nie Tian also ended his cultivation and gazed up at the dilapidated, ancient starship that was now parked high in the sky, a worried expression appearing on his face.

Even so, he tried to comfort the others by saying, “Don’t panic everyone. This island will prevent all air-transportation spiritual tools from descending on it. Our air-transportation spiritual tools were subject to its restrictions, so the Phantasms’ ancient starships should be subject to it as well. So even if there are high-tier outsiders on that starship, they probably won’t be able to get to us on this island.”

“Is that true, Big Brother Nie?” Feng Ying asked, her lips trembling with fear.

In fact, Nie Tian wasn’t sure of it himself, but he forced himself to say, “Of course!”

Now that the Phantasms’ ancient starship was here, it went without saying that it was carrying very powerful Phantasm experts.

His previous conversation with the ancient awareness had been rather brief, and he actually hadn’t acquired much information about this place from it.

Therefore, he wasn’t sure if the restrictions of this island would be able to stop the Phantasms’ ancient starship and their most powerful experts from entering.

If they somehow passed through the restrictions and arrived on the island, then none of Nie Tian or the others would be able to escape.

The group of chosen ones from the Domain of the Falling Stars stared blankly at the ancient starship in the heavens, not having the faintest idea as to what to do.

None of them said a word, but they all asked themselves questions inwardly.

“Are the restrictions of this island really going to hold when that ancient starship or high-tier outsiders try to enter?”

“Even if Nie Tian is right, the spatial rift that leads to the Domain of the Falling Stars won’t appear for two more days. Will we be able to live out these two days?”

“It seems that all of us are going to die here...”

Nothing but despair and fear could be seen in their eyes.

They could sense the uncertainty in Nie Tian’s words, and thus prepared to fight to the death.

High in the sky.

By the edge of the ancient starship stood a number of outsiders, including Armes, Abreu, Sylon, Tago, and Stonemountain. Standing in front of them was a middle-aged Phantasm who had a solemn expression on his handsome face.

“Lord Basto, that newborn Son of the Stars is right under there, on that island,” Armes said with great respect.

As powerful as he was, he seemed to be in fear and trepidation as he talked to that middle-aged Phantasm. It was completely different from the arrogant and domineering way he had previously spoken.

This middle-aged Phantasm was the very Phantasm lord who Dialo had contacted back when he had lost the Soul Pearl to Nie Tian.

The prismatic crystal between Basto’s eyebrows suddenly blossomed with blinding cyan light that filled the entire heavens. At the same time, an immense soul awareness was unleashed and rapidly spread out in the sky.

Not only Armes, Sylon, Tago, and Stonemountain, but also the few fifth and sixth grade Phantasm experts gasped in astonishment upon seeing this.
