Chapter 802: An Accident Occurs (2/2)

Meng Li was taken aback. “A mysterious river? Could it be the legendary river of time?”

Nie Tian shuddered upon hearing these words.

During his soul communication with Wu Ji, which had taken place not long ago, Wu Ji had told him that when he had broken through into the Soul realm, his soul awareness seemed to have traveled across time and space, and found himself in a river that contained the profound truths of time power.

It was in that peculiar state that he had looked into the past and learned the truth about his mother’s ‘death’.

Wu Ji had only dipped his soul awareness into that mysterious river, and yet he had gained the ability to see what had happened in the past.

Could that river be the same river the eighth grade ice phoenix was referring to?

“Yeah, that probably was the river of time, one of the most mysterious existences in this world,” the ice phoenix gave an affirmative answer. “According to the legends, the profound truths of time power lie within that river of time. It’ll allow you to see into your past and future. What I saw in the Shatter Battlefield was probably only a small part of the river of time, and it only existed for a flash before vanishing completely.

“Only after it vanished did a small amount of sand of time fall out of the void. When I gathered it, I was infiltrated by time power. Even my bloodline power went through a minor recession.

“If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have been surrounded by a bunch of rats after finishing collecting the sand of time, and wouldn’t have sustained heavy injuries to my soul.”

With these words, the ice phoenix stepped towards Nie Tian with an impatient expression.

She stretched her white, jade-like arm out and stuffed the bottle of sand of time into Nie Tian’s hand. Then she reached out with her other hand and took the fifty soul crystals back into the sparkling, icy light that wreathed her.

“The deal is made. We’re even.” She turned around and left as soon as she gained the soul crystals, as if she didn’t want to stay here one second longer than she had to.

“Are you going back to the Shatter Battlefield?” Meng Li asked.

“Of course!” the ice phoenix spat, her eyes filled with strong killing intent. “I’m going to settle accounts with those thieves!”

“The spatial rift that connects the Realm of Maelstrom and the Shatter Battlefield hasn’t opened yet,” Duan Shihu said, looking confused.

“I have other ways to get there,” The ice phoenix said without even turning her head back to look at them, and then flew out of the stone pavilion.

CRACK! CRACK!

Nie Tian heard the sounds of soul crystals cracking as she left the stone pavilion that belonged to the Divine Seal Sect.

Pure, concentrated soul power instantly burst forth within her shield of sparkling icy light. She absorbed it without wasting a second.

Her soul aura rapidly grew from withered to vigorous.

In a split second, her immense soul awareness spread out to cover the entire Realm of Maelstrom, as if her soul had instantly touched every inch of this piece of land and learned its secrets.

“Hmm?” She seemed to notice something while flying away from the Divine Seal Sect’s trading area.

BOOM!

Her perfectly-shaped, charming figure expanded at an alarming rate, and in three seconds, resumed her form as a huge ice phoenix.

A frigid, bone-piercing aura rapidly spread out from her broad beastly body.

She had activated a bloodline magic.

In the Thousandsword Mountain Sect’s trading area, the icy crystal that confined Pei Qiqi seemed to be channeled by some force. It flew right out of its cabin and the berthed ancient starship.

The icy crystal reached the ice phoenix in the blink of an eye.

“Hmm?” the ice phoenix muttered. “There’s a person inside this icy jade, which is more than ten thousand years old.” However, she didn’t give it much thought, and continued to control the icy crystal with her bloodline magic.

WHOOSH!

The ice crystal landed lightly on her broad feathered back. With a joyful chirp, she flew towards a spatial rift in the enormous water curtain.

“My ice crystal!” Xing Bo bellowed fiercely.

One figure after another rose into the sky from the Thousandsword Mountain Sect’s area in an attempt to stop the ice phoenix.

However, the eighth grade ice phoenix only gave one flutter of her translucent, sparkling wings, and thousands of rays of icy light shot out in all directions like large ice shards, stopping the Thousandsword Mountain Sect disciples from coming close.

“I can’t believe you actually wanted to get my sand of time with only a few Soul Convergence Pills! You people from the Thousandsword Mountain Sect are so laughable. This ancient ice crystal should be considered atonement for your rudeness. If you think you can get it back, come find me in the Shatter Battlefield. I’ll go there as soon as I’m recovered.”

SHEW!

Immediately afterwards, the ice phoenix disappeared into a spatial rift in the water curtain.
