Chapter 945: The Best Taste in Men (1/2)

Time flew. Months passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Nie Tian returned to the Realm of Maelstrom and met the clanmasters of the Jian Clan, the Guan Clan, and the Chu Clan, who promised that they would follow Nie Tian and take his commands from now on.

Afterwards, they left.

Then, from the Divine Seal Sect, Nie Tian learned that Zhao Shanling and Pei Qiqi seemed to have vanished completely.

No one from the Domain of Heaven Python had seen them anywhere, nor had the Void Spirit Society disciples found any trace of them.

Therefore, Nie Tian wasn’t very concerned about their safety.

Other than Patriarch Pure Heaven, who was still in secluded cultivation, there wasn’t a single voice in the Domain of Heaven Python, the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries, or the Domain of the Falling Stars that opposed him, who the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace had named the seventh Son of the Stars.

Nie Tian summoned the Pure Heaven Sect, but word came back saying that they would rather wait for Patriarch Pure Heaven to come out of his secluded cultivation to determine where their future lay.

Since he didn’t show up, Nie Tian didn’t have a reason to make any moves against the Pure Heaven Sect.

After forming an alliance with Nie Tian, Xie Qian returned to the Domain of Vast Darkness with his daughter and son.

Like Jing Feiyang, he also went into secluded cultivation soon after his return.

Both of them hoped to fully digest the new understandings they had gained from Nie Tian, so that they would be able to further refine their domains, and perhaps even make new breakthroughs in their cultivation.

Nie Tian, however, returned to the Domain of the Falling Stars after everything settled down, and focused on his own cultivation in the grand palace left by the Ancient Fragmentary Star Place.

It took him about six months to regenerate the three drops of Blood Essence he had given away.

During this time, his bloodline aura remained dormant, and didn’t show any sign of awakening new bloodline talents. Therefore, he spent some time perfecting his mastery of the True Flame Incantation and Flame Dragon’s Cry.

SHEW!

A streak of fierce flames suddenly flew out to hover in the sky in front of the grand palace in the Realm of Split Void.

The flame that was a mixture of flame power from within Nie Tian’s flame power core and his flesh power soon took the form of a dragon that was lifelike and more than ten meters long.

“The Flame Dragon Armor!” As he exclaimed these words inwardly, the Flame Dragon Armor flew skywards to join the flame dragon he had created with Flame Dragon’s Cry.

Then, as flame power within the Flame Dragon Armor’s Blood Core fused into the flame dragon, it seemed to be vested with new life, and suddenly expanded five times over.

The flame dragon that was close to a hundred meters long roared as it soared into the heavens and dove towards the earth.

Eventually, the flame dragon plunged into one of the huge craters that could be seen everywhere in the Realm of Split Void.

BOOOOM!

The giant meteor at the bottom of the crater exploded upon receiving a great impact from the plunging flame dragon. After the explosion, bits of Heavenflame Essence could be seen burning on the broken pieces of the meteor.

“This strike is so mighty that it would devastate any Profound realm cultivator...” Li Langfeng marveled inwardly.

Then, he said, “Nie Tian, this Earth grade incantation you obtained from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace seems to suit you perfectly. It allows you to mix your flesh power with your flame power. And the Flame Dragon Armor can help amplify its might with its own flame power.”

Nie Tian smiled. “You seem to be doing great yourself.”

By this time, Li Langfeng had already refined the cluster of pale flames that contained corpse toxins into himself.

Thanks to it, he had advanced to the late Profound realm from the middle Profound realm. Also, by drawing on that cluster of pale flames, he could fuse the dead with flame sparks that carried corpse toxins, raising them and turning them into ghouls.

Even now, Li Langfeng was still deriving new enlightenment from that cluster of pale flames, and making rapid progress in cultivation. If this continued, he might even be able to enter the Soul realm within a short time.

“This is all thanks to you, Nie Tian,” Li Langfeng said with a humble tone. “That cluster of mysterious corpse flame you gave me has helped a lot.”

Dong Li was standing beside him with the black tortoise resting at her feet. She sounded somewhat frustrated as she said, “I’m really curious as to how you practice cultivation. How is it possible that you managed to enter the middle Profound realm after such a short time? With luck and the help of this seventh grade black tortoise, I barely managed to advance to the early Profound realm from the late Worldly realm.

“When I did, I thought I finally caught up to you. Who would have thought you’d make another breakthrough in cultivation after your trip to the Domain of Endless Snow?”

Li Langfeng chimed in with a serious face, “Miss, the speed at which your cultivation advances is actually very impressive. Your father and your uncles are all at the late Profound realm. You’re so much younger than them, but you’ve already entered the early Profound realm. You should be proud of yourself.
