Chapter 961: An Even More Remote Era (2/2)

“It appears so,” Nie Tian answered. “All of those images entered my mind the moment the bone appeared. I even suspect that those images were awoken by some profound imprints that are buried in the deepest part of my bloodline. I thought you saw them too.”

Lou Hongyan took a deep breath to calm herself. “No, we didn’t. Only you did. No wonder that patriarch suddenly targeted you when he could have killed me! That also explains why he said those weird things about you, that you’re special, and both your bloodline and soul are unique!”

“Senior martial sister,” Huang Jinnan exclaimed. “if my speculations are correct, that unidentified species is from the era before the Desolate Antiquity Era, according to the ancient records from our sect’s collection!”

Face grim, Lou Hongyan nodded gently. “That’s probably it!”

Nie Tian was taken aback. “There was an era even before the Desolate Antiquity Era?!”

“According the ancient history of our sect’s conflicts with titans, Ancientbeasts, and great wyrms, our ancestors had learned about an era that was even more remote than the Desolate Antiquity Era from the ancient beings they had fought. However, even those tenth grade titans, Ancientbeasts, and great wyrms didn’t seem to know much about that era.”

Lou Hongyan chimed in, “They called it the Primal Era.

“According to them, they only knew that enormous beings that were as large as realms dominated that era. As the true favorites of this starry river, they were born with the ability to travel among domains. Nothing in the void could harm them.

“However, that mysterious race seemed to have gone extinct when the Primal Era ended.

“Only after that did the titans, Ancientbeasts, great wyrms, and other ancient species from the Desolate Antiquity Era enter the stage, and rise as the new overlords.

“But even so, their fear towards that mysterious race was branded in the depths of their bloodlines.

“When they break through into the tenth grade, they seem to be able to gain a glimpse of the past, and see blurry images of that incredible race...”

Lou Hongyan’s eyes were filled with apprehension as she spoke, and she occasionally looked at the bone that was clutched in Nie Tian’s hand.

Nie Tian gasped with astonishment. “Titans, Ancientbeasts, and great wyrms can actually see into the past when they advance to the tenth grade?”

As the three of them spoke, an eighth grade Lizardman suffered a heavy blow, and was sent flying towards them like a hill of flesh.

Injured, the Lizardman seemed apprehensive about resuming his fight against his human equivalents. Instead, he turned around and targeted the three of them.

Seeing this, Lou Hongyan let out a cold harrumph.

However, just as she was about to make a move, Nie Tian cast the bone towards the incoming Lizardman.

The moment the bone left his hand, he felt all of his flesh power reserve pouring into it, allowing it to pierce towards the Lizardman’s head like a bolt of lightning.

Surprised, the eighth grade Lizardman hastily summoned flesh power to form multiple blood-colored shields.

However, the flesh power shields were crushed by flesh power that seemed to be of a much higher level even before the bone actually touched them.

PUFF!

The bone that was more than ten meters long went right through the eighth grade Lizardman’s skull.

With a prematurely ended cry, the gigantic Lizardman collapsed and floated uncontrollably into the distant starry river.

Huang Jinnan was flabbergasted. “That Lizardman was almost as strong as a middle Void domain cultivator, yet you killed him with a single strike?!”

Looking at the bone that was slowly flying back to Nie Tian after reaping a life, he called out with insecurity filling his eyes, “Be careful, Nie Tian!”

Lou Hongyan’s expression also flickered slightly. “You have no problem controlling it, right?”

“Umm... I think so...” With these words, Nie Tian reached out clumsily to grab the bone.

As flesh power shone on his fingertips, the bone seemed to be channeled, and suddenly accelerated. Like a bolt of lightning, it shot back to his palm.

“Got it!” Nie Tian said, his intense expression relaxing.

However, both Huang Jinnan and Lou Hongyan had grown cold with fear, staring at the bone.
