Chapter 615: Talents and Magics
While the master-disciple pair talked, the Bone Blood Demon drained the corpses of the two seventh grade outsiders of their blood.
Afterwards, they both looked shriveled and considerably smaller.
However, awe-inspiring light shone in the depths of the Bone Blood Demon’s unfathomable grayish-green eyes from time to time.
Surprised by the change, Nie Tian examined it with his psychic awareness.
To his surprise, he could hear the sound of blood running in its veins that were hidden within its bones.
Before, the sound of blood running inside of it had been as subtle as that of a small creek, almost imperceptible.
However, it now sounded as if countless torrential rivers were rushing inside the Bone Blood Demon.
He had a feeling that the Bone Blood Demon’s battle prowess had gained another boost after absorbing the blood of the two seventh grade outsiders.
Even Wu Ji looked shocked after he spent a split second to examine the Bone Blood Demon. “This puppet... I can’t believe that it can actually use the Blood Sect’s Blood Refining Incantation on its own!”
Nie Tian nodded. “Yeah, but I don’t know why either. It could only display sixth grade battle prowess when I first awakened it. But it absorbed a copious amount of Demon blood and refined it with the Blood Refining Incantation the last time the Demons invaded. Afterwards, its strength improved significantly.
“And this time, it’s the blood of two seventh grade outsiders...”
Wu Ji’s eyes lit up as he said with great certainty, “I sensed it when you summoned this puppet earlier, and it seemed to me that its battle prowess was only roughly the same as that of an early Soul realm human expert back then.But now, after it has absorbed the blood of these seventh grade outsiders...
“If my judgment is correct, it’s capable of contending against a middle Soul realm expert now.”
A shudder ran through Nie Tian. “What?!”
“In fact, for outsiders, their grades can also be further divided, similar to how we humans divide ours,” Wu Ji explained. “Just like ours, each outsider grade can also be divided into early, middle, and high grades.
“The grades are divided according to the richness of their blood, and the intensity of their flesh power.
“These two outsiders I just killed were both at the early seventh grade.
“But, this puppet of yours seems to be at the middle seventh grade, judging from the intensity of its flesh aura, which means it’s roughly as powerful as a middle Soul realm human expert.”
His eyes were filled with delight as he continued, “It seems that this puppet the Blood Sect refined has been strengthening itself after you awakened it. Given enough blood, perhaps it can even recover to the same grade as when it was alive.”
“It was at the eighth grade when it was alive!” Nie Tian blurted excitedly.
Wu Ji’s eyes widened slightly. “The eighth grade?!” Then, he took a deep breath and said, “The strength of an eighth grade outsider is equal to that of a Void domain human expert. If it can actually recover its eighth grade bloodline power, the plight the Domain of the Falling Stars is facing will be solved instantly.”
Nie Tian seemed very spirited after hearing these words.
Right now, the most powerful cultivator in the Domain of the Falling Stars was the patriarch of the Heaven Palace Sect, who was at the late Soul realm, and was doing his utmost to break through into the Void domain. It was still unknown whether he would succeed.
If the Bone Blood Demon could recover its eighth grade bloodline power, even that patriarch wouldn’t have complete confidence in overtaking it in battle.
“But if it returns to the same grade as when it was alive, will the outsiders also send eighth grade experts to the Domain of the Falling Stars?” Nie Tian asked.
Wu Ji shook his head. “I doubt they will. As far as I can tell, the outsiders that have invaded our domain aren’t from powerful clans. For powerful clans that have eighth grade experts, the Domain of the Falling Stars isn’t even worth taking.
“Those eighth grade experts will never set their mind on a remote corner where it would take thousands of years to produce a Void domain Qi warrior.”
Nie Tian pondered for a short while, and thought his master’s words made sense.
From the conversations he had had with Armes and the other outsiders, he had also sensed the disdain they had for the Domain of the Falling Stars.
They had even valued him, a newborn Son of the Stars, more than the entire Domain of the Falling Stars.
That said, it seemed that, if the Bone Blood Demon could recover to its original grade, the outsider invaders would have to either withdraw from the Domain of the Falling Stars or die at the hands of the Bone Blood Demon.
The truly powerful outsider clans probably wouldn’t send their eighth grade experts to the Domain of the Falling Stars, since it was simply not worth taking.
