Chapter 875: A Stone Golem Capital (1/2)

Astonishment spread across Yin Yanan and Mu Biqiong’s faces.

Face grim, Nie Tian explained, “The armor’s first master, the Daughter of Flames, was the flame element section’s Divine Daughter of the Five Elements Sect. What’s really troublesome is that she didn’t actually die. When she was killed by a man named Pang Chicheng, a wisp of her soul managed to escape, which allowed her to eventually be reborn. Now, she has recovered her early Void domain cultivation base, along with her peak battle prowess.”

After hearing Nie Tian’s brief explanation, the girls were smart enough to know that the Flame Dragon Armor couldn’t be exposed.

“If it’s the Five Elements Sect who forged the Flame Dragon Armor... I think we’d better not travel with Huang Jinnan anymore,” Xie Wanting said with a worried expression.

Nie Tian shook his head. “That won’t be necessary. I don’t intend to use the Flame Dragon Armor in the Bloody Grave Mountain Range anyways. As long as I don’t summon it, we’ll be able to get along with Huang Jinnan and the others just fine.”

“That man seems to be generous and kind, but in fact, he’s very arrogant,” Mu Biqiong said with furrowed eyebrows. “He only attaches importance to you, who he knows is a Son of the Stars. He doesn’t care about anyone else, including Han Sen, who he expelled because of you. He’s only so keen to make friends with you because you’re a Son of the Stars.

“However, that suit of armor is one of the Five Elements Sect’s most precious treasures. If he somehow finds out about it, he’ll definitely try to take it back.

“He’s far too strong for us. Even with the help of my coexisting flowers, I doubt that I’d be able to match him in battle.”

Yin Yanan nodded slightly and chimed in, “I’m afraid my eighth grade Frost Blood Python won’t be able to stop him either.”

Nie Tian could tell that they were very apprehensive about this Divine Son of the Five Elements Sect.

“It’s alright. I won’t expose the Flame Dragon Armor.” He tried to comfort them with these words.

…

A few hours passed as their air-transportation spiritual tool followed Huang Jinnan and the others from a certain distance.

They started to encounter more and more evil spirits and ghouls along their way, and the ghouls and evil spirits they met became stronger and stronger.

Soon, a magnificent stone city entered everyone’s sight.

Nie Tian stood aghast upon seeing it. “Another Stone Golem city!”

Before marching on to the Fortune Wells, he had come across a Stone Golem city, where he had met some Earth Spirit Sect disciples.

However, that stone city had been in ruins, as if it had witnessed countless fierce battles. Even the city walls had collapsed.

However, this city before them was not only intact, but also much larger and more splendid.

From a thousand meters away, Nie Tian gazed off into the city, and saw numerous evil spirits flying across in it.

Some of them were exceptionally large, as if they were transformed from the discarnate souls of Ancientbeasts.

Others weren’t terrifyingly large, but gave Nie Tian a strong sense of danger.

They seemed to have transformed from the discarnate souls of Phantasms, and the Bloody Grave Mountain Range’s unique environment seemed to have made them extremely fierce and vicious.

There were also ghouls that were more than ten meters tall and covered in fluffy white hair. They roamed the wide streets, as if they were looking for something.

Huang Jinnan’s golden chariot stopped before the city, where he called out, “Nie Tian! That former Stone Golem capital is our destination. I’m certain that there are Earth Cultivated grade spiritual materials in it. All we need to do is find them.”

He was surrounded by other air-transportation spiritual tools, on which chosen ones from various domains looked very spirited.

“Remember: don’t mention the Flame Dragon Armor,” Nie Tian said in a low voice, before signaling for Xie Wanting to pick up speed to fly in Huang Jinnan’s direction.

Gazing at the stone city, Mu Biqiong couldn’t get over a peculiar feeling that something was wrong with it. “I think we should tell him about the Stone Golems we saw,” she said. “Those Stone Golems might have come to the Shatter Battlefield too after leaving the Seven-star Blue Sea in the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries, and it’s very likely that they’ll return to their former capital.”

Nie Tian nodded. “I’ll tell him about that.”

Xie Wanting gasped. “What?! There are still Stone Golems alive?!”

“Yeah, there’s a place called the Seven-star Blue Sea in our domain,” Mu Biqiong said with a cautious expression. “We saw eight stone statues fly out of it, along with a last one, which was the largest of them all. Only later did we find out that they were actually Stone Golems from the Desolate Antiquity Era. We didn’t know why they would show up there, but we heard them chanting the word ‘Shatter’ in some ancient language as they flew away. It looked like they were trying to find their way to the Shatter Battlefield.”

A shocked expression appeared on Xie Wanting’s face as she asked, “We won’t encounter those Stone Golems here, will we?”
