Chapter 880: Killing His Sworn Enemy with His Own Hands (1/2)
Huang Jinnan and the chosen ones from the various domains were scattered around the stone pavilion.
Everyone kept their eyes on Nie Tian and Xing Bo.
Strong interest filled Huang Jinnan’s eyes, as he wanted to know how Nie Tian, a Son of the Stars, would finish his sworn enemy.
However, he had no doubt that Nie Tian would succeed.
After all, Nie Tian had passed the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s intense Heaven Gate trial and become the seventh Son of the Stars.
He had heard how cruel Heaven Gate trials were.
At the same time, all of the other chosen ones were also very curious as to what was so special about Nie Tian that had allowed the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace to choose him to be the seventh Son of the Stars.
Eyebrows furrowed, Yin Yanan grew somewhat worried. “Nie Tian doesn’t have his Star Boat with him, and he can’t summon that armor of his.”
Mu Biqiong gave a weak snort and said, “He just has to parade his battle prowess, doesn’t he?”
Gentle and caring, Xie Wanting chimed in, “He’s at the late Worldly realm, while his opponent is at the middle Profound realm. His cultivation base is weaker by two minor levels... Will he actually be able to win?”
Holding one spiritual sword in his hand, Xing Bo sent the other eleven spiritual swords flying out in different directions.
Each of them unleashed blade lights that were both sharp and resilient as they rapidly interwove into a net of swords.
Seconds later, a net of glowing swords came to form around Xing Bo.
“Spirit Infuse!” As Xing Bo called out these words, wisps of soul power flew out of the Spirit Channeling grade sword in his hand and infused into the net of swords.
As soon as that happened, the net of blade lights seemed to be vested with life.
As Xing Bo leapt towards Nie Tian clutching his Spirit Channeling grade sword, the spiritual swords hovered around him like some kind of meat grinder.
Nie Tian grinned, recognizing the sword incantation at first sight. “Sword Condensing Incantation.”
“You have a cousin whose name is Xing Beichen, don’t you?” Nie Tian asked, smiling.
“What if I do?” Xing Bo said, looking surprised.
“Nothing, other than that he died at my hands!” Smiling broadly, Nie Tian raised his hands high in the air, as if he were holding up an invisible cauldron.
“Spirit condensation!” As he shouted these words inwardly, tainted energies suddenly started converging on his raised hands from all directions.
A large glowing sphere rapidly formed and continued to expand between his palms. Soon, it became as large as a table.
Back when he had been in the Realm of Split Void, he had used this secret magic he had learned from the titans on many occasions.
Since he had been able to condense the tainted energies in the Realm of Split Void into spiritual energy balls, he had assumed that he would be able to use it in the Bloody Grave Mountain Range as well.
As he had expected, an enormous spiritual energy ball formed between his palms within seconds.
The tainted energies here were easily ten times more intense than the ones in the Realm of Split Void. Therefore, the spiritual energy ball he formed here was not only larger in size, but also contained stronger mixed energies.
A variety of auras and impurities of different colors could be seen clashing with one another within the huge glowing ball, as if they were breeding an unstoppable storm.
“Go!” The spiritual energy ball was suddenly cast towards the net of spiritual swords.
At the same time, the mixed energies that were already clashing with one another seemed to be instantly ignited, causing a violent explosion.
The explosion sent out countless streaks of multicolored light that carried fierce auras.
The net of swords Xing Bo had formed with the Sword Condensing Incantation failed to even hold on for a second before being blown to shreds that soon scattered and vanished into the air.
“Bloodline magic: Life Strengthening!”
Nie Tian’s robust body started to expand. His muscles bulged as a scaly layer formed over his entire body. Mysterious gold and silver patterns could be seen on the armor-like layer, as if it now carried the Metal-devouring Bug and Silver Beetle’s profound bloodline power as well. The luster it gave off was ice-cold and resilient.
WHOOSH!
The explosion of his flesh power caused the tainted energies in his surroundings to converge madly on him.
But not only did Nie Tian not seem scared, he even laughed broadly, and cast the spirit condensation technique again.
A spiritual energy ball that was even larger than the last one rapidly formed, and then floated towards Xing Bo.
Face pale, Xing Bo hastily shifted away like a flash of light.
BOOOM!
The moment after he flew away, the spacious roof of the stone pavilion blew up.
The explosion sent shattered stones and bits of concentrated impurities flying in all directions, filling the air with the lingering sound of the explosion.
Nie Tian let out a wild laugh.
As starlight flashed, Nie Tian suddenly vanished from where he was standing. In the next moment, he appeared in front of Xing Bo and drove an emerald green tree branch towards him.
Xing Bo hastily swung his Spirit Channeling grade sword in the air, unleashing seven blade lights that flew towards Nie Tian like spiritual snakes. “Sword Incantation: Seven Banes!”
At the same time, a large amount of fragmented light shot towards Nie Tian like a rain of swords.
CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!
