Chapter 986: New Arrivals (1/2)
The Void domain experts’ faces were filled with envy as they looked at the black tortoise.
Before, they had only thought it to be a bit strange, but they hadn’t been aware of how special and powerful it actually was.
Just earlier, they had witnessed it activating its Evernight bloodline talent with Nie Tian’s help, plunging heaven and earth around it into utter darkness.
Even though they had observed from afar, the ultimate darkness had still shaken them deeply.
Dark power was one of the few powers in the universe that was very special. Only certain Demons, black phoenixes, and black dragons would be born with the ability to wield it.
Very few human cultivators could understand and practice dark power.
However, Dong Li had somehow mastered the method to practice dark power. On top of that, she had also gained this mysterious black tortoise, like a tiger that had grown wings. (Idiom: might redoubled)
In the future, as her cultivation base improved, her compatibility with the black tortoise would be bound to improve, allowing her to display a more terrifying battle prowess.
WHOOSH!
The black tortoise crouched lazily by Dong Li’s feet, as if it was digesting the numerous dead seventh grade outsiders it had devoured.
In a profound way, Dong Li established a soul connection with it.
Moments later, her eyes lit up as a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
According to the information she had just received from the black tortoise, she had learned that Nie Tian had activated his bloodline talent, burned his own Blood Essence, and fused a copious amount of life power into it.
Such life power seemed to have had the effect of accelerating the black tortoise’s upgrades!
Nie Tian’s residual life power would interact with the seventh grade outsider corpses it had devoured, allowing it to advance to the eighth grade within a short period of time.
Dong Li could feel its genuine joy.
“It’s hard to believe that bastard’s flesh power has such an incredible effect...” she muttered inwardly.
Immediately afterwards, she sent a soul message to the black tortoise. “Rest assured. When you come to the point where you’re ready to break through your bloodline shackles, I’ll find him and force him to give you the nourishment you need to finish the upgrade.”
After hearing these words, the black tortoise suddenly grew excited, and kept rubbing its head against Dong Li’s ankle in an affectionate way.
With a cold smile, Dong Li rolled her eyes at it. “It seems that you’re sensible enough to know who’s the boss.”
SHEW!
Nie Tian suddenly flew out from under the rubble, with one blood-colored aura after another streaming into his body from different directions like red spiritual snakes.
With every blood-colored aura that disappeared into him, the flesh aura he emanated grew a bit more intense.
As soon as Nie Tian flew onto the Star Boat, a misty starlight ward formed around it. “Come on! Let’s move out to our last target!”
BANG! BANG!
At the same time, two blood strings dragged the corpses of an eighth grade Demon and an eighth grade Phantasm onto the Star Boat, giving rise to loud crashes.
Enveloped in the ward, Nie Tian refined the flesh auras he had gained, turning them into Blood Essence.
“The flesh power within the corpses of eighth grade Demons and Phantasms is indeed much richer than what was in the corpses of the eighth grade Lizardmen!” Nie Tian marveled inwardly.
Even with Life Drain, he couldn’t drain them of all of their flesh power within a short time.
But now, time was of the essence. Nobody knew whether the outsiders at the eighth spatial tunnel would find out about their arrival.
To spare them any potential trouble, Nie Tian didn’t dare to waste any time, and urged everyone to move out.
People were rather surprised to see him drag two dead eighth grade outsiders onto his Star Boat.
Jing Feiyang and the other experts knew that Nie Tian was a man of many secrets, and that he wouldn’t give them explanations every time something happened. Therefore, they figured they had better not ask.
Nie Tian rapidly pointed out the direction for everyone and flew off into the distance. Though full of questions, the others followed along.
Several days passed...
Nie Tian recovered all of the Blood Essence he had used in the previous battle with the flesh power he channeled from the corpses of the eighth grade Demon and Phantasm.
However, there was still flesh power left within the Demon’s corpse.
