Chapter 979: A Dead Godspirit Tree (1/2)
Jing Feiyang had been aware of Nie Tian’s uniqueness for a long time.
He also knew that outsiders were usually exceptionally heavy because of their vigorous flesh power and well-refined bodies.
He had fought outsiders on various occasions, and killed quite a number of them in battle.
However, even sixth grade outsiders hadn’t felt as heavy as Nie Tian.
Outsiders emphasized body refinement, which resulted in increased body density and increased weight.
When it came to outsiders at the same grade, the heavier one was, the more refined his or her body must be.
As Jing Feiyang had slight difficulty in supporting Nie Tian with his divine seals, he realized that the level of refinement of Nie Tian’s body had probably exceeded that of most sixth grade spirit beasts and outsiders.
That was to say, by relying on nothing but his bloodline power, Nie Tian would be at an overwhelming advantage in a battle against a sixth grade outsider or spirit beast.
A very impressed look appeared in Jing Feiyang’s eyes. “Adding in the three types of power from the spiritual cores in his spiritual sea and the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s profound incantations, I’m afraid no one at his level would be able to defeat him in battle, human, outsider, or spirit beast.”
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
As he swung his sleeve, a dozen more magical symbols flew out to wreath Nie Tian. Nie Tian felt unprecedentedly light as he was carried through the forest of ancient trees at a high speed.
A few seconds later, Jing Feiyang let out a soft exclamation as he suddenly jerked his head towards Nie Tian. “Hmm?!”
Nie Tian had just activated his Life Stealth bloodline talent, concealing his fleshly fluctuations completely, as if even his heart had stopped beating.
All living beings with flesh and blood would emanate subtle fleshly fluctuations with every beat of their hearts, the flow of their blood, and even changes in their mood.
Powerful outsiders had the ability to perceive such fleshly fluctuations just as human experts had the ability to capture soul fluctuations while living beings thought.
Fleshly fluctuations and soul fluctuations were the outsiders’ and humans’ respective means to detect lives.
Jing Feiyang wasn’t an outsider, but since Nie Tian was flying right beside him, he could vaguely sense his vigorous flesh aura.
However, all of a sudden, he couldn’t capture even a shred of the flesh aura that he exuded anymore.
He then realized that Nie Tian hadn’t been bragging just now. He actually could hide himself from outsiders that relied solely on flesh aura detection to scan their surroundings.
Even if Nie Tian was buried right underneath their feet, they wouldn’t be able to sense his existence.
“Now that he’s masked his flesh aura, let me mask his soul aura for him.” As this thought entered Jing Feiyang’s mind, half of the magical symbols that wreathed Nie Tian instantly lit up.
The soul fluctuations he emanated as he thought about things were completely sealed off.
Now that neither his fleshly fluctuations nor his soul fluctuations would leave Nie Tian’s side, as long as he stayed out of the outsiders’ sight, he would be completely undetectable, not even by the Phantasms.
A quarter hour later...
The three Godspirit Tree leaves in his wood power core shone even more dazzlingly, filling his spiritual sea with emerald light.
He could even sense their delight and excitement.
It was as if something not far ahead had an irresistible appeal to them.
“What could it be?” Nie Tian wondered as he grew increasingly careful.
“A group of Demons is garrisoned ahead, but they’re all at the sixth and seventh grade, nothing more.” With a disdainful snort, Jing Feiyang suddenly accelerated.
Seconds later, a swarm of gorgeous, multicolored divine seals flew out of him.
But immediately afterwards, they grew transparent as they plunged into the ground, as if to fly forward underground.
Jing Feiyang came to a stop in midair. Thousands of magical symbols could be seen flying in the depths of his eyes as he wove his hands in the air like frolicking butterflies flitting among flowers.
“It’s done.” With a faint smile, Jing Feiyang accelerated again.
Moments later, the two of them arrived at the target area.
A huge withered tree had been broken into three pieces, with the bottom piece rooted in a piece of dried-up land, and the other two lying next to it.
That piece of land was clearly not a part of this dense forest. Instead, it seemed to have fallen out of the heavens and crashed into it.
The crash had created a deep hole in the ground, around which more than a dozen Demons were now lying, dead. All of them had been soundlessly killed by Jing Feiyang’s magical symbols. They hadn’t even known what had hit them.
