Chapter 985: Evernight! (2/2)
Then, their power would split up as quickly and lightly as dragonflies touched water.
Since they didn’t know the outsiders’ exact location, the method they adopted was to bombard every inch of the mountain valley with their most destructive area attacks.
Only as their spiritual tools actually touched an outsider were they able to learn their exact locations.
Then, they could gather power to deal fatal strikes.
The outsiders screamed miserably in the mountain valley that was enveloped in utter darkness. However, they couldn’t hear each other, or even tell the exact location of their spatial tunnel. All they did was charge about, hitting walls like headless flies.
Once they charged into the Saint domain experts’ spiritual tools, they would immediately be locked down and face concentrated, devastating attacks.
The battle didn’t last very long.
Only an hour later, with the help of the black tortoise’s mysterious ward, Nie Tian, who had one hand on the black tortoise’s shell, saw that the three mountains of ice had been razed to the ground.
The mountain valley was filled with giant blocks of ice and huge rocks, under which many outsiders lay dead.
The three Saint domain experts’ stormy bombardment had long since shattered the spatial tunnel.
It was also at this moment that a fifth drop of Blood Essence was burned away in Nie Tian’s heart.
Due to the tremendous Blood Essence and flesh power consumption, he was struck by a strong sense of exhaustion.
He hastily terminated Life Blend.
As he withdrew his hand, he said, “That’s enough.”
Then, the endless darkness poured back into the black tortoise like an ebbing tide.
Rays of light shone into the mountain valley that had been enveloped in darkness, like the stone gate to a dark room being cracked open. Then, as light continued to spread, the heaven and earth that had been ruled by darkness recovered its original state.
As the last wisp of darkness disappeared into the black tortoise’s shell, everything appeared in everyone’s sight once again.
Nie Tian looked down at the black tortoise, and discovered that it was sagging its head, as if it was in low spirits.
He touched its head gently and gave it a smile. “You did a good job.”
After hearing his approving words, the black tortoise wagged its head again, looking rather pleased with itself.
“Alright,” Nie Tian said. “Try to get a good rest and get your strength back. We might still need your help with our upcoming battle in the scorching desert.”
With these words, he cast a few short-range Starshifts, and ended up in the mountain valley that had been bombarded beyond recognition.
“I wasn’t sure we could do it.” Quan Zixuan floated in the air as spiritual swords flew back to him and vanished into his sleeves, like hundreds of birds returning to their nest.
Meanwhile, Jing Feiyang gazed beyond him. Staring at the black tortoise from afar, he said with a complicated look in his eyes, “I can’t believe that little thing is actually so powerful!”
Qu Mingde chimed in, “It’s only at the seventh grade now. After it enters the eighth or ninth grade, it may even gain the ability to plunge a whole realm into utter darkness.I’ve never seen or heard of any beasts that have such mysterious and powerful abilities!”
Nie Tian smiled. “I was totally shocked as well.”
With these words, he landed in the rubble, giving rise to a loud crash. “Give me a few minutes. I’ve got to recover my strength.”
He rapidly found the eighth grade Demon and Phantasm’s bodies, and channeled flesh power from them with Life Drain. Then, he refined and condensed their flesh power into Blood Essence.
The Star Behemoth didn’t take part in this battle in any way.
And since the outsider corpses didn’t belong to this floating continent, they were free to take them away as their spoils of battle.
As Nie Tian channeled residual power from the eighth grade Demon and Phantasm, the black tortoise also swooped down from midair.
It wandered around, looking for seventh grade outsider corpses to feast on. As small as it was, it swallowed corpses like a bottomless pit. One corpse after another was ripped apart and went down its throat. However, even that didn’t seem to satisfy its appetite.
WHOOSH!
The Spirit Pearl suddenly flew out to collect the dead outsiders’ discarnate souls.
Seeing that the battle had come to an end, the three Saint domain experts sent word to the others.
Before long, Dong Li and the Void domain experts arrived. They all stood aghast, looking at the mountain valley that had been bombarded beyond recognition.
The black tortoise, which had devoured all of the seventh grade outsiders’ corpses, skipped to Dong Li’s feet and looked up at her, as if to take credit for what had happened to this place.
Fan Kai from the Heaven Palace Sect took a look at the black tortoise, then said with an envious tone, “Congratulations, Dong Li. It’s your luck that you found such a mystical beast.”
