Chapter 601: Grand Return

Outside Shatter City...

Nie Tian waited for an hour, but no other Profound realm experts dared to come for him.

Apparently, the Worldly realm rogue cultivators, who had witnessed the Bone Blood Demon cutting the five Profound realm experts down like melons, had already spread the word.

Even joined up, the five Profound realm experts had failed to take a thing from Nie Tian. Not only that, but they had all been slain by the Bone Blood Demon. Who would still dare to come after that?

“No one else is coming,” Dong Li said, smiling and holding five rings of holding in her hand. “Let’s go back. Inside these rings of holding are the fortunes those Profound realm experts spent their whole lives gathering. I’ve scanned their contents briefly. The total value can’t be less than ten million spirit stones.”

Ye Qin smiled and chimed in, “Nie Tian, I believe no one with a cultivation base lower than the Soul realm will ever dare to seek trouble with you again!”

After a brief hesitation, she took a sideways glance at the Bone Blood Demon, which Nie Tian was still sitting on. Slightly frightened, she said, “Even an early Soul realm expert won’t have complete confidence that they will be able to get through it and kill you.

“How many middle and late Soul realm experts are there throughout the entire Domain of the Falling Stars?

“Not to mention that we’re now facing a great threat from the outsiders. They’ll never do anything to you at such a crucial time.”

The other juniors also spoke up, telling Nie Tian that there was no need for him to continue to wait there.

No matter how long he waited, no one would have the audacity to come at him anymore.

Nie Tian thought they made good sense, and thus nodded and said to Dong Li, “Would you trade the contents of those Profound realm cultivators’ rings of holding for me? You know what I need. As for grade, the higher the better.”

Dong Li went blank briefly before asking, “What I got for you wasn’t enough?”

She was aware that Nie Tian had an incredibly large demand for spirit beast meat. However, she had already secretly traded his spiritual materials that hadn’t been fit to be brought to the trading fair for a significant amount of fourth grade spirit beast meat through the Water Moon Chamber of Commerce.

She had doubted that Nie Tian would be able to consume that much spirit beast meat in five years.

She had never expected that Nie Tian would ask her to trade the lifelong collections of those Profound realm cultivators for more spirit beast meat.

Why would Nie Tian need so much spirit beast meat?!

Nie Tian, however, was well-aware that, if he were to consume it the regular way, it would take him years to finish the spirit beast meat Dong Li had traded for him.

However, since he had awakened his Life Drain bloodline talent, he was now able to absorb the flesh power of the spirit beast meat much more efficiently.

Because of this, even the spirit beast meat that could be piled into mountains didn’t seem like much.

Meanwhile, he was aware that the reason why he didn’t feel an urgent need for flesh power was because the green aura in his heart was still dormant, waiting to awaken its next bloodline talent.

However, once it awakened a brand new bloodline talent, it would once again show its endless desire for flesh power.

After the awakening of his previous bloodline talents, he now had a feeling that as he continued to awaken new bloodline talents, he would need more and more flesh power.

The spirit beast meat Dong Li had purchased for him might not be enough for its next bloodline talent awakening cycle.

Furthermore, in order to further the refinement of his body, he would need copious amount of wood power, as well as rich flesh power.

Therefore, his demand for flesh power was much greater than Dong Li had expected.

“Not enough,” Nie Tian answered softly. “I need much more.”

Dong Li nodded slightly and said with a confused expression, “I see.”

The others didn’t understand what the two of them were talking about.

Nie Tian didn’t explain either. Seeing that everyone had been consuming spiritual power to ward off the tainted spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, he finally decided to return to the city.

As soon as the thought entered his mind, the Bone Blood Demon started charging towards Shatter City at an alarming speed.

With a Soul realm expert’s battle prowess, the Bone Blood Demon could actually sail through the sky. Nie Tian could very well use it as an air-transportation spiritual tool.

However, he knew that the Bone Blood Demon ran on the life force he had given him, which was basically the essence of flesh power.

If he commanded it to fly instead, it would consume its precious life force much more rapidly. In contrast, running would be much more economical.

However, even by running, the Bone Blood Demon was almost as fast as Dong Baijie’s Rainbow Lightning.
