Chapter 959: The Mysterious Bone (1/2)
Nie Tian looked down at his pounding heart, an astounded look appearing on his face. “Hmm?! What’s going on?!”
At this moment, all of the erupting volcanoes, seas of flames, and rivers of flames had vanished from Lou Hongyan’s flame domain.
Her flame domain was already badly torn.
A raging flesh aura suddenly burst forth from the bone. Within moments, a furious, bloodthirsty aura pervaded Lou Hongyan’s domain, turning it blood-red.
BOOOOM!
The blazing band that had collected all sorts of flames from this world suddenly lit up. The countless fiery spots within it unleashed light and heat that was as fierce as the sun as it wrapped around the bone.
In a flash, torrential flame power filled the entire area, and clashed violently with the frenzied flesh aura, giving rise to terrifying shockwaves that spread in all directions.
Hit by a shockwave, Nie Tian’s Star Boat was instantly sent flying backwards from Lou Hongyan towards the endless starry river.
As exploding sounds echoed out from Lou Hongyan’s blazing band, she was wreathed in flames that flew around her like butterflies.
The band that was originally hundreds of meters long shrank down extremely quickly.
Lou Hongyan let out a muffled groan, a mouthful of blood escaping her mouth.
SHEW!
Like an injured snake, the blazing band vanished into her.
However, the bone from an unknown species morphed into a streak of lightning that shot straight forward.
Many Void domain experts in the vicinity, including Huang Jinnan, cried out in panic.
“Divine Daughter!”
“Senior martial sister!”
The bone was clearly aimed at Lou Hongyan. The fact that her fire-attributed Spirit Channeling grade treasure shrank and returned to her after a single exchange proved that even it couldn’t stop the bone.
Before that, the late Void domain expert who practiced wood power had had his domain shattered and fleshly body destroyed. Only his soul barely escaped.
Therefore, even if the other Void domain experts threw themselves at the bone, they wouldn’t be able to stop it.
Everyone could foresee the bone piercing through and killing Lou Hongyan in the next moment.
Huang Jinnan suddenly noticed something, and shouted loudly, “Wait! Watch out, Nie Tian!”
Just as the grayish-green bone approached Lou Hongyan, driving everyone to despair, it suddenly changed directions.
POOPH!
In the next moment, the bone that was more than ten meters long impaled Nie Tian’s abdomen, its tip coming out of his lower back.
All of the Void domain experts, including the other Saint domain experts who were fighting the ninth grade Lizardmen, were baffled as to the Lizardman patriarch’s motive behind this.
“Nie Tian?! Why Nie Tian?!”
“That Lizardman patriarch is actually trying to kill Nie Tian!”
“Why did he aim at Nie Tian, who’s only at the Profound realm, when he can aim at our Divine Daughter?”
Floating in the dark starry river, the aged Lizardman patriarch fixed Nie Tian with a cold, piercing gaze, and said in the human language, “You’re different from all of the humans I’ve seen before! Both your bloodline and soul are special!”
With these words, he shot towards Nie Tian, leaving Yang Fan and Zhao Heng behind.
SHEW!
Like a lightning bolt flashing across the void, Nie Tian’s Star Boat backed away at full speed.
The enormous bone that had penetrated his abdomen was still unleashing a frenzied, bloodthirsty flesh aura, as if it intended to rip his internal organs to pieces.
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!
Loud, drum-like heartbeats continued to echo out from Nie Tian’s madly pounding heart.
The green aura that coiled up within his heart, which was branded with the profound truths of life power, hadn’t finished its upgrade yet. But at this moment, the numerous Bloodline Crystal Chains within it suddenly lit up.
Like crimson diamonds and mysterious stars, one drop of Blood Essence after another flew out of his heart.
Moments later, all ten drops of Blood Essence separated themselves from Nie Tian. They split up and floated towards the two ends of the unidentified bone.
FIZZ! FIZZ!
As a drop of Blood Essence fell on the end of the bone in front of Nie Tian, the conspicuous, blood-colored patterns on the bone suddenly grew restless, as if they had been ignited.
Like living beings with their own awareness, the patterns wiggled madly as they scrambled to absorb the drop of Blood Essence.
