Chapter 980: A Godspirit Tree Sapling (2/2)

Moments later, they arrived, and found that Qu Mingde, another Saint domain expert, had also arrived.

Nie Tian saw a black lake surrounded by a forest so dense that it blocked all sunlight. The lake seemed to have been silent for countless years. Not a single ripple could be seen on its surface.

Without delay, Nie Tian formed a Star Eye and plunged it into the lakewater.

Soon, the Star Behemoth’s awareness descended through means he couldn’t comprehend.

Nie Tian picked up the Star Behemoth’s soul message that came from the depths of the lake. Every word of it was clear. “Good. You’re here, and you’ve reached me through this lake. So like we did before, I’ll help you mask your auras and seal those insects off. In return, I’ll...”

It suddenly stopped, and then it continued with a different tone, “You broke the agreement!”

“What do you mean?” Nie Tian pretended that he didn’t understand.

“Don’t you mess with me!” The Star Behemoth sounded somewhat angered. “I can tell that a certain region in this heaven and earth has gone through changes. The trees and vegetation there have lost a third of their wood power! And I sense changes in you too. It must be you who did this!”

“Umm...” Seeing that he wouldn’t be able to pass the buck, Nie Tian gave a bitter smile and explained, “There was a little accident. You see, I had three Godspirit Tree leaves in my spiritual sea. They...” he went on and briefly explained the matter.

Immediately afterwards, he asked with an urgent tone, “Will you help us seal the area where those eighth grade outsiders are garrisoned first?”

The Star Behemoth fell silent, as if to weigh the matter. Moments later, he replied, “Alright. I’ll straighten things out with you after you finish your job!”

A vast, black mist then gradually rose from the black lake. Driven by the Star Behemoth, it slowly floated towards the spatial tunnel that was guarded by a group of powerful outsiders.

“But I won’t be able to help you with the other two portals. You’ll have to rely on yourselves!”

The mist traveled at a fast speed as it floated farther and farther into the distance.

The three Saint domain experts then communicated with their subordinates via Sound Stones, instructing them to stay put.

Afterwards, the three of them flew into the black mist, carrying Nie Tian, and then moved forward with it.

In the depths of the black mist, Nie Tian could only vaguely see Jing Feiyang, who was flying right next to him. Quan Zixuan and Qu Mingde were nowhere to be seen.

At the same time, he lost his other senses in the black mist, including his hearing and soul perception.

After an unknown period of time, Nie Tian noticed that the black mist had stopped moving. That was when he knew they had arrived at their target area.

Jing Feiyang approached him and gestured, signaling him to remain where he was and not to leave the black mist.

Nie Tian nodded to show that he understood.

Immediately afterwards, Jing Feiyang vanished into the boundless black mist.

Nie Tian knew that the three Saint domain experts would have to destroy the sixth spatial tunnel with thunderous means first, and then slaughter the powerful outsiders that were guarding it.

Even though he couldn’t see, hear, or sense anything in the black mist, he could tell that a deadly battle, or exactly speaking, a massacre, was taking place in his surroundings.

After a while, Yuna, the eighth grade Phantasm, suddenly entered Nie Tian’s view in the pitch-black mist.

She was none other than the female Phantasm at the peak of the eighth grade Jing Feiyang had detected earlier.

She, who had always been graceful and devilishly gorgeous, had clearly suffered heavy injuries. Even the prismatic crystal between her eyebrows, which was unique to Phantasms, had fine fissures on it.

This was the sign that a Phantasm’s soul had sustained serious injuries.

As the devilish Yuna flashed through the black mist, magical symbols could be seen sputtering from her body, which was covered in wounds.

She had activated her bloodline power to the fullest. With each magical symbol she drove out of her, she experienced agonizing pain. Even her face twisted.

Like a flash, Yuna once again vanished from Nie Tian’s sight.

With an astounded expression, Nie Tian looked in the direction Yuna had just vanished in. He suddenly cast a Starshift that allowed him to instantly leave the black mist.

“Come on out!”

He summoned the Star Behemoth bone he had taken from the Lizardman patriarch.

The moment he cast it, he was drained of every last bit of his flesh power.

Flying out of his hand, the bone locked down onto Yuna, who had escaped the black mist and was dashing away like a bolt of lightning.

PUFF!

The bone that was more than ten meters long pierced into Yuna’s back and out her chest, nailing her to the spot. Blood came pouring out of the wounds.

SHEW! SHEW! SHEW!

Jing Feiyang, Quan Zixuan, and Qu Mingde all shot out of the black mist, burning with anxiety.

Yuna turned around, the prismatic crystal between her eyebrows rapidly growing dim.

Gazing at Nie Tian from afar, she looked deeply confused, as if she couldn’t believe that a human that was only at the Profound realm had gotten her, when she had avoided Jing Feiyang’s fatal attack.
