Chapter 913: Instructions (1/2)

Numerous pieces of spirit beast meat were sucked dry, and the lost three drops of Blood Essence finally reformed.

Afterwards, Nie Tian turned to look at the field of darkness, and discovered that it had expanded several times over.

Now, one-fifth of the spacious hall was covered in utter darkness.

Standing by the huge pitch-black egg, Dong Li had already consumed a significant amount of her dark power.

Having dripped a considerable amount of her own blood onto the huge egg, she had grown weak due to blood loss.

However, the heart of the life within the huge egg beat increasingly vigorously, and it seemed to have a curious flesh aura connection to Nie Tian.

Nie Tian examined it briefly, and soon realized that the connection had been caused by the infusion of the three drops of his Blood Essence.

He could also sense that the primal life within the egg was naturally intimate towards Dong Li.

That life was revived by Nie Tian’s Blood Essence and nourished by Dong Li’s dark power, blood, and soul strands.

In a way, he and Dong Li were the ones who had created the life within the egg.

Therefore, it wouldn’t be an overstatement to call him and Dong Li its father and mother.

After a while, the intense darkness suddenly started to retreat into the huge egg.

A few minutes later, the last shred of darkness vanished, and the huge egg reappeared.

The solid egg shell seemed to have become much thinner than before, revealing numerous mysterious and detailed patterns that seemed to have been drawn on it with ink.

“It seems I need more time.” With these words, Dong Li stuffed a handful of medicinal pills down her throat. Her face was pale from the blood loss, yet her eyes glittered with the light of excitement. “I think it’ll take the egg two more weeks to hatch. During this time, it’ll need to absorb more dark power from me.”

Nie Tian pondered briefly before saying, “Take one of the stone rooms here in the palace and focus on helping it through the hatching process. I believe you’ll be safe here, so just do what you need to do.”

With a graceful smile, Dong Li nodded slightly. “Alright.”

SHEW!

Her perfectly-shaped figure flew towards one of the stone rooms at the perimeter.

As soon as she did, she sent out a soul message, and the huge black egg actually followed her to that stone room.

Standing at the stone door, Dong Li said to Nie Tian, “What about you?”

“Me?” Nie Tian smiled. “There’s something else I need to take care of.”

“Okay then.” Without reading too much into it, Dong Li entered the stone room and shut the door.

Seeing this, Nie Tian walked out of the grand palace.

As soon as he did, he discovered that almost all of the well-known figures in the Domain of the Falling Stars were now gathered at this place.

He saw Hua Mu, Qi Bailu, Zong Zheng, people from the Cao Clan, the Gu Clan, the Pill Pavilion Sect, and the Water Moon Chamber of Commerce from the Realm of a Hundred Battles, as well as Jiang Zhisu, Chang Sen, and others from the Realm of Flame Heaven. Even Lei Tianqi was standing among the crowd.

They surrounded the large-scale teleportation portal that connected to the Realm of Maelstrom.

A few years ago, when Zhao Shanling had first established the connection between the two domains, Chang Sen, Cao Mo, Qian Buhui, Gu Yuan, and many others had taken the opportunity to go trade for rare spiritual materials in the Realm of Maelstrom.

All of them had benefited from their trips.

However, they hadn’t asked to enter the Shatter Battlefield after hearing how dangerous the trip would be.

Only Hua Mu, Qi Bailu, and Zong Zheng, as well as Fan Kai and several others who had sided with the Heaven Palace Sect, had entered the Shatter Battlefield.

Now, their adventure to the Shatter Battlefield had long since ended, yet Fan Kai and those with him still hadn’t returned.

Therefore, the people from the Heaven Palace Sect and Lei Tianqi were all hoping that Nie Tian would tell them about the whereabouts of Fan Kai and the others.

Too eager to wait any longer, they started asking questions.

Lei Zhenyue was a member of the Lei Clan, who had been taken in by the Thunder Mountain Sect. It was only natural that he didn’t want anything to happen to Lei Zhenyu.

Looking at Lei Tianqi and the people from the Heaven Palace Sect, Nie Tian said, “I’ve no idea. Perhaps they’re caught up in something. They took the same route Yue Yanxi and his people had taken to return to the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries. I arranged everything. But as for whether they had unforeseen encounters on their way back, I really don’t know.”

The faces of those from the Heaven Palace Sect grew grim after they heard these words.

Before Nie Tian had returned, they had learned about Nie Tian’s arrangements from Qi Bailu and Hua Mu.

They knew that Nie Tian had asked Duan Shihu to seek help from the Golden Vast Sect, so that Fan Kai and those with him would be able to return to the Domain of the Falling Stars.

Taking the same route, Patriarch Pure Heaven, Yue Yanxi and the other Qi warriors had long since arrived in the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries.

Therefore, mishaps had most likely happened to Fan Kai and those with him.

When Fan Kai had left, the outsiders’ ancient starships had already sailed into the Domain of Heaven Python.

If Fan Kai and the others had indeed encountered something on their way back, it probably had something to do with the outsiders.
