Chapter 902: Land Filled with Wailing People (2/2)

He was well-aware that since he didn’t have a considerable number of spiritual materials or medicinal pills that could provide soul power, it was unrealistic for him to form a third sub-soul and enter the Profound realm within a short period of time.

However, since he had a large spirit beast meat supply, he would be able to accumulate copious flesh power by using his Life Drain bloodline talent.

As he worked day and night without stop, pile after pile of spirit beast meat was refined. They morphed into streams of flesh power that fused into his bloodline aura and eventually put it into dormancy, where it waited for its next upgrade and awakening of brand-new bloodline talents.

Time flew.

Two weeks had passed since Fan Kai and the others had left.

During this time, the outsiders’ ancient starships initiated small-scale invasions of some of the remote realms that weren’t controlled by the Golden Vast Sect or the Divine Seal Sect.

They mostly favored realms that belonged to the Thousandsword Mountain Sect. Many of them were lost, and became temporary footholds for the outsiders.

The Realm of Maelstrom, which usually bustled with trading activities, suddenly became deserted and quiet.

After all, with all of the spatial rifts that led to outsider realms destroyed or sealed, no outsider traders could visit anymore.

The human Qi warriors who had done business in the Realm of Maelstrom over a long period time also stopped coming after seeing the unfavorable situation.

On this day, Duan Shihu and Jing Rou came to Nie Tian with Li Muyang and Xing Huanyue.

Even though both Li Muyang and Xing Huanyue had entered the late Soul realm, not even the slightest delight could be seen on their faces.

Duan Shihu seemed even sadder and angrier than them.

“What happened?!” Hua Mu asked aloud.

With a grim face, Li Muyang said, “The Realm of Withering Flame was sacked by Demons. An army of Demons led by an eighth grade Demon expert suddenly swarmed into the the Realm of Withering Flame. We knew we couldn’t stop them, so we came back through the teleportation portal. However, many others were trapped there. Miserable cries echoed out in every direction as we escaped.”

As Duan Shihu’s personal property, the Realm of Withering Flame was filled with active volcanoes. Every year, he could gather a large number of fire-attributed spiritual materials from it.

Many of the Hunters who had raided and plundered with him had later helped him mine fire-attributed spiritual materials from the volcanoes.

Now that the Realm of Withering Flame had been sacked overnight, all those who used to sail across the Domain of Heaven Python with him and looted the local sects’ supplies would most likely fall victim to the outsiders.

“Senior martial brother, will your sect...” Nie Tian wanted to say something, but stopped on second thought.

With a bitter smile, Jing Rou chimed in, “My sect is having trouble fending for itself, much less saving the Realm of Withering Flame, which is not that important to them. The Demons, Phantasms, Bonebrutes, and Fiends have all sent ninth grade grand patriarchs. I doubt that our sect will be able to even defend itself.”

Before Nie Tian said anything, Jing Rou went on with a imploring tone, “Nie Tian, you’re a Son of the Stars of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace. Will you please communicate with your sect and tell them that we’ll be willing to become their subordinate sect, as long as they agree to send powerful experts to help us through this bloody tribulation.”

Duan Shihu also fixed Nie Tian with an expectant gaze.

The reason why they had come in the first place was because they wished Nie Tian could establish communications with the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace and ask for their help.

Given the Divine Seal Sect’s current strength, it didn’t even qualify to become the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s subordinate sect.

However, since Nie Tian was a Son of the Stars acknowledged by the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, they wondered if they could make use of his connections and get the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace to give them another chance.

If that didn’t work out, they wondered if they could just become a subordinate sect of Nie Tian, and pull through by relying on their indirect relationship with the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.

Nie Tian smiled bitterly. “I, I haven’t finished the path of stars the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace designed for me, and entered the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace yet.”

“So how can you finish that path of stars?” Jing Rou asked anxiously.

The situation in the Domain of Heaven Python was very unfavorable. The Thousandsword Mountain Sect was no different from being wiped out, while the Divine Seal Sect and the Golden Vast Sect couldn’t possibly defeat the outsiders’ united army by themselves.

If they couldn’t get help, the realms in the Domain of Heaven Python would fall one after another, just like the Realm of Withering Flame.

Running out of options, they had thought of Nie Tian, a Son of the Stars, and hoped that he could establish communications with the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.

“I suppose only after I break through into the Profound realm would I have a chance at finishing the path of stars and entering the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.” After a moment of hesitation, Nie Tian added, “But my soul still lacks refining. If I can get enough medicinal pills that contain soul power, perhaps I’ll be able to make that breakthrough within a short time.”

“Don’t you have soul crystals for that?” Jing Rou asked.

Nie Tian smiled bitterly. “I used them all.”

“Well, I’ll see what I can do,” Jing Rou said.
