Chapter 621: Tangled Battles
In the Pill Pavilion Sect.
A handful of people were sitting at a large stone table on the top floor of a bluestone tower.
They were all at the Worldly realm or higher.
Among them, Qian Buhui from the Pill Pavilion Sect, Cao Mou from the Cao Clan, and Gu Yuan from the Gu Clan were at the early Soul realm.
Soon after receiving word of Nie Tian’s appearance, they had gathered to this location via their respective teleportation portals.
They had been waiting for word of Qi Bailu’s attitude towards Zhao Shanling’s demand and the latest news of the situation in the Dong Clan.
Originally, the three of them had hesitated over whether they should abandon the Realm of a Hundred Battles, move to their arcane realms, and cut off their connections with the Domain of the Falling Stars.
However, after learning of Nie Tian’s arrival with his Bone Blood Demon, and that Zhao Shanling had the ability to seal the spatial rift, the idea of staying and fighting to the end reentered their minds.
At this moment, none of them were making a sound, as they were waiting anxiously for the latest news from the Dong Clan.
The tips of Qian Buhui’s eyebrows rose as he sprang to his feet and exclaimed, “Zhao Shanling has joined the battle! Greater Heaven stage and Worldly realm members, come with me to the Dong Clan!”
A bright light flashed across Gu Yuan’s eyes as he said, “Even though the outsiders can still travel within our realm after their route of retreat is cut off, the low-grade ones won’t be able to travel between locations very efficiently. Perhaps only the three seventh grade outsiders possess such an ability.
“We, on the other hand, can teleport to the Dong Clan within a split second through our teleportation portals!
“The Dong Clan will be where we defeat the outsider invaders!”
Immediately after hearing these words, numerous Qi warriors from the Pill Pavilion Sect, the Cao Clan, and the Gu Clan, who had been waiting in this place, started taking turns to enter the teleportation portal.
…
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Streaks of bright light shot out from within the translucent and sparkling ward that protected the Dong Clan, each of which was a Dong Clan member.
Dong Qianqi, Dong Tengfei, and many other Dong Clan elders flew out of the grand spell formation and rushed to Nie Tian’s location at the first moment.
Since the Bone Blood Demon was going all-out to fight that Demon, who had awakened his ancestor’s bloodline, Nie Tian and Li Langfeng were forced to land among the outsiders.
Upon landing, he heard a few fourth grade outsiders shout, “He’s that Son of the Stars!”
Apparently, they had been on that island and thus recognized Nie Tian at first glance.
As soon as they heard that Nie Tian was a Son of the Stars chosen by the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, powerful outsiders in the vicinity ended their respective battles and made him their main target.
In the blink of an eye, numerous fifth and sixth grade outsiders started converging on Nie Tian and Li Langfeng.
Without the time to think, Nie Tian summoned his seventy-two tree branches, forming a Wood Thriving Formation at the first possible moment.
Fifth and sixth grade outsiders were roughly as powerful as Worldly realm and Profound realm human Qi warriors, and they were coming after him in large numbers. No matter how confident Nie Tian was, he knew that he wasn’t going to beat them single-handedly.
He would have to rely on the mysterious Wood Thriving Formation, which he had acquired from the Floragrims’ ancestral land.
The Dong Clan was surrounded by thick forests, so there were copious amounts of wood power he could use.
As soon as the Wood Thriving Formation came to form, a dark-green ward enveloped him and Li Langfeng.
Numerous unfathomable tree patterns started swimming around in the ward and madly channeling wood power from its surroundings.
A sixth grade Stoneman that was short and bulky exclaimed, “That’s the spell formation the Floragrims used to protect their ancestral land!”
Immediately afterward, he launched his bloodline magic. Rocks that were the size of tables started rising from the earth as if they were no longer bound by gravity.
Soon, there were hundreds of rocks of that size floating in the air.
At first glance, it looked as if a forest of rocks of different shapes had appeared above the Wood Thriving Formation.
Each and every rock was spinning at an increasingly high speed.
Moments later, the rocks suddenly fell from the air simultaneously.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
As they fell on the dark-green ward, the ward flickered at the violent blows. One after another, the mysterious tree patterns rapidly returned to the tree branches.
To defend against the sixth grade Stoneman’s intense attack, the Wood Thriving Formation drained the wood power within a twenty-kilometer radius in a split second.
Many trees and plants even exploded upon the sudden dissociation of power.
Nie Tian’s expression flickered as he hastily summoned and put on the Flame Dragon Armor.
