Chapter 737: Ancient Hybrid (1/2)

The Phantasms’ ancient starships came to a stop in the middle of the void.

Looking at the Soul-devouring Lake, Yuna’s emerald eyes were filled with a grim look as she said, “The grand patriarch’s aura is gone.”

Upon hearing these words, the powerful Phantasm experts beside her all fixed the Soul-devouring Lake with bewildered gazes. It was just that, considering their strength, they couldn’t sense anything from it.

“What does that mean, my lady?” Armes asked respectfully.

Eyebrows furrowed, Yuna said, “I’m afraid something has happened to that grand patriarch. He left his aura here intentionally. He must have counted on his people to sense his aura and track it to his location, so he wouldn’t have stopped leaving it willingly.

“Now that his aura is gone, there must have been a mishap. Perhaps, he’s been... annihilated.”

A seventh grade Phantasm warrior gasped and said, “The soul of a grand patriarch is not that easily annihilated, right?”

Yuna sighed. “He would be very hard to kill if he still had his fleshly body and were at his peak state. But I didn’t sense any flesh power from the aura he left behind. His fleshly body must have perished long ago. All he had left was his soul body.

“With only his soul body, he wouldn’t be able to unleash our race’s most powerful magics, so it’s possible that someone annihilated him.”

Armes let out a sigh. “But he’s a ninth grade grand patriarch!”

The other Phantasm experts also sighed rather emotionally. “If he’s really dead, it’ll be a great loss for our race!”

In their eyes, any ninth grade grand patriarch was an important figure who was capable of shaking heaven and earth.

Since they didn’t have a single grand patriarch in their clan, if they could find that grand patriarch and win his favor, their clan would rise to a high position among the numerous Phantasm clans.

Yuna pondered for a while and added, “Although, it’s possible that he hasn’t been annihilated. He might just be too weak to release any aura. Send word to the other parties, and tell them to inform us as soon as they discover anything that has a connection to our race.”

“Got it,” The seventh grade Phantasm warrior answered loudly.

“Now that we’ve lost our directions, we need to spread out in all directions with this starship as the center, and start searching for clues,” Yuna said.“Once you find anything, report to me at once. Even if he’s really dead, we’ll need to confirm his identity.”

“Got it!” With these words, the Phantasm experts spread out and started searching for clues.

...

On the unimpressive floating meteor.

The weaker members from the three parties were doing their best to recover with spirit stones and medicinal pills.

Some were summoning spiritual power and soul power with unique methods to repair their damaged air-transportation spiritual tools, hoping to get the spell formations within them to work again.

Qiao Yunxi’s Flame Bird was curiously structured and as solid as a piece of divine metal. Therefore, there wasn’t a single scratch on it.

After refilling it with fire-attributed materials, she sat down next to it and started channeling flame power from Heavenflame Stones she took out from her ring of holding.

Nie Tian had long since noticed that she had overly consumed her spiritual power, but hadn’t sustained any serious injuries.

It was different with Yin Yanan from the Beast-controlling Sect.

She was sitting among the other Beast-controlling Sect disciples. A pained look filled her face as she seemed to be digesting the medicinal pill she had just swallowed.

The wounded members of the three parties let out agonized screams and low sobs from time to time, filling the air with depression.

The shoulders of a few Greater Heaven stage young women trembled as tears brimmed their eyes. They seemed to have lost their family in their previous battles against the outsiders.

Expressionless, Nie Tian gazed off into the distance and waited for the Stonemen’s arrival.

He had seen and experienced so much over the years. This could no longer cause waves in his heart.

Furthermore, he didn’t have any positive feeling towards the three parties. Therefore, no matter how many people they lost, it wouldn’t have a strong impact on him.

Gazing into the dark void where countless meteors of different sizes floated, Nie Tian started to feel a sense of uncertainty.

“Now that outsiders have come to this region, it has become dangerous to travel around in this heaven and earth.

“If I can’t get in contact with Yue Yanxi within a short time, my only option will be to return to the Domain of the Falling Stars through the teleportation portal the Lei Clan set up.

“Then, I’ll have to give up on searching for the teleportation portal the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace established in this region.”

SSSS! SSSS!

The Frost Blood Python beside Yin Yanan suddenly let out agonizing hissing sounds as its large tail swung about, shattering nearby rocks.
