Chapter 632: Joining the Battle (2/2)

In his senses, after parting for just about ten days, Zhao Shanling somehow seemed even more mysterious.

He looked at him and had a strange feeling that he wasn’t in the same space as him, even though he was standing right in front of him.

He then membered that Zhao Shanling had said that he would make another advance in his cultivation since Qi Bailu had given in to him, solving the emotional knot that had weighed on his mind.

In fact, Zhao Shanling had already entered the middle Soul realm at that moment. It was just that his cultivation base hadn’t stabilized then.

It seemed that he had stabilized the transition of his cultivation base while Nie Tian had reforged the Bloodline Crystal Chains for the Bone Blood Demon.

Right now, Zhao Shanling, who was an unmatched expert in spatial magics, had truly entered the middle Soul realm.

Zhao Shanling laughed. “I’ve been waiting for you. You promised me something, remember? If you somehow get yourself killed, won’t all that I’ve done for the Realm of Flame Heaven and the Realm of a Hundred Battles be in vain?”

Nie Tian went blank briefly before asking, “So are you going to the Realm of Mystic Heaven with me?”

“That’s right,” Zhao Shanling said with a look that was as if he had planned this long ago. Then, eyes narrowed, he asked with a disdainful smile, “Where’s that puppet? Let me see how strong its flesh power is now.”

“Okay.” Nie Tian then summoned the Bone Blood Demon.

The moment it appeared in front of everyone, an intense fleshly aura pervaded the entire Dong Clan.

Each and every Dong Clan member experienced anomalies in their blood flow, no matter what cultivation base they were at. They felt that the speed of their blood flow had become very unstable. They even felt as if their blood flow could reverse at any moment.

However, Nie Tian didn’t seem affected at all. He stood there perfectly composed.

The Dong Clan members subconsciously backed away from the Bone Blood Demon, as if the closer they were to the Bone Blood Demon, the harder it was for them to control their blood flow.

Even Li Langfeng, Dong Li, and Dong Baijie backed a few steps away, their expressions flickering with astonishment.

“Nie Tian, this puppet of yours seems to be different from before.” Li Langfeng, who had stayed near the Bone Blood Demon for a rather long time, spoke his mind. “I’ve never felt such pressure from it before. But when I stand close to it now, I feel like my blood is trying to escape my control and fuse into it.”

“Its aura of flesh and blood has become so much more vigorous than before!” Zhao Shanling’s eyes flickered with a strange light, as if even he experienced instability in the flow of his qi and blood. He took a deep look at the Bone Blood Demon, and after a brief examination, his eyes suddenly widened.

He sensed that the Bone Blood Demon was not only wreathed in an extremely intense aura of qi and blood, but it was also releasing a strange aura that could silence heaven and earth.

A complicated expression appeared on Zhao Shanling’s face as a speculation entered his mind. He then fixed Nie Tian with a shocked gaze. “Are those...?”

“Senior Zhao, do you think this puppet will be able to contend against Basto? Also, if Xia Yi makes a move against me, will it be able to protect me?” Nie Tian asked these questions because he wasn’t sure himself, but he believed that, considering Zhao Shanling’s cultivation base and strength, he would be able to see through the Bone Blood Demon’s current strength.

Zhao Shanling gave a cold laugh. “It won’t matter if it’s Basto or Xia Yi. If either of them wants to kill you, you’ll die beyond the shadow of a doubt.”

Nie Tian was confused. “Why?” he asked.

Zhao Shanling’s eyes brimmed with ridicule as he said, “The Bone Blood Demon won’t be able to protect you from soul attacks. Basto is a Phantasm expert. You know what kinds of attacks Phantasms are good at, don’t you? He’ll be able to crush your soul with his immense soul power, and your puppet won’t be able to do a thing.

“Xia Yi is now at the late Soul realm. He’s more than capable of overtaking you with his soul magics as well. How do you plan to resist those?”

Dong Baijie couldn’t help but say loudly, “Senior Zhao is right, Nie Tian! Compared to them, your cultivation base is still too low, and your psychic power hasn’t transformed into soul power yet. If they just attack you with their profound soul magics, you won’t be able to last a second! I really don’t think you should go to the Realm of Mystic Heaven. Your life will be in serious danger if you do.”

Dong Li also implored Nie Tian not to go.

Upon seeing this, Nie Tian fell silent.

Truth be told, he hadn’t thought much about what Zhao Shanling had just pointed out to him. He pondered his words, and realized that both Basto and Xia Yi possessed soul power that was far more profound than his. Either of them would be able to annihilate him with a single soul attack.

He couldn’t think of a way to make up for the huge gap between the immensity of their soul power.

Zhao Shanling laughed. “I might as well do a thorough job helping you. I’ll go to the Heaven Palace Sect with you. Once we’re there, you’ll have to stay close by my side, and I’ll put you inside one of my personal arcane realms. As long as you don’t come out of it, neither Basto nor Xia Yi will be able to kill you with their soul magics.”

Nie Tian bowed respectfully. “Many thanks!”

Zhao Shanling snorted a laugh. “Let’s go.”
