Chapter 992: Aftermath (1/2)

As soon as the two Demon grand patriarchs charged into the eighth spatial tunnel, the ninth grade ice phoenix called out in a sharp voice.

Jing Feiyang and Qu Mingde were the human experts who were the closest to the spatial tunnel.

Clearly, the ninth grade ice phoenix was worried that if the spatial tunnel continued to stand there, more powerful Demons might arrive through it, causing them new trouble.

That was why she called out in the human language, which was considered the common tongue.

Jing Feiyang and Qu Mingde had personally felt the pressure powerful Demons could put on them, and thus knew what to do without her telling them.

Compared to building a spatial tunnel, destroying it was much easier.

As numerous divine seals and rays of golden light poured towards the spatial tunnel that was expanding and fluctuating, it exploded violently.

Even in the moment it exploded, the Demon grand patriarchs’ roars could still be vaguely heard.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

After the two Demon grand patriarchs left, the thick Devil qi rapidly grew thin and dissipated.

The heaven and earth enveloped by it recovered its clarity. Everything could be seen again.

FIZZ! FIZZ!

A few demonic bugs were still struggling in the raging flames.

Seeing that no other Demon grand patriarchs were coming, Nie Tian let out a sigh of relief.

Ignoring the burning demonic bugs, he flew into the area where the Demon qi was dissipating.

As the Demon qi vanished, more than a dozen flame dragon skeletons were revealed.

All of them had been refined of their flesh. All that was left was grayish-brown skeletons that were bereft of any flesh auras.

Clearly, they had been dug out from underneath the sand and refined by the Demon grand patriarch.

The ninth grade dragon roared furiously as his enormous body quickly shrank to the shape of an old man. Even so, raging flames could be seen swirling within his eyes as he said, “Hazlitt, the Flame Maniac, has refined the corpses of my people with his demon blood!”

The ninth grade ice phoenix’s sparkling and crystal-clear wings withdrew into her back as she also took her human form. It was just that she was still enveloped in a frosty aura that prevented people from getting a clear view of her. “Hazlitt was originally at the early ninth grade. His upgrade happened only recently.”

“Hmm?!” She exclaimed softly, turning her face toward Nie Tian. “It’s you!”

Nie Tian had failed to recognize her until she spoke.

Now, he suddenly realized that the ice phoenix in front of him was the same one he had met and made a deal with in the Realm of Maelstrom.

She had been wreathed in a frosty aura back then, just as she was now.

At this moment, Jing Feiyang and the other two Saint domain experts were flying around exterminating the demonic bugs Feimos the Controller had left behind with exquisite incantations.

After they were finished, Jing Feiyang flew to Nie Tian’s side, while Quan Zixuan and Qu Mingde exchanged a glance with Nie Tian, and then flew off again.

Nie Tian was aware that now that the two Demon grand patriarchs had escaped, the remaining eighth grade outsiders would think of every possible way to leave this place.

Just the Void domain experts alone wouldn’t be able to take out the remaining eighth grade outsiders within a short time.

Only if Quan Zixuan and Qu Mingde joined them would they be able to do so.

“I didn’t expect to see you here on this floating continent.” Nie Tian went blank briefly before asking with a grin, “Are you here to deal with the outsiders as well?”

The ninth grade dragon fixed Nie Tian with a deep look, and then looked at the Star Boat. “You’re the seventh Son of the Stars of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, right?”

Nie Tian smiled. “I am. And you are?”

“My name is McEleney. This is Stella.” After a brief introduction, the ninth grade dragon went on to ask, “Did you kill those outsiders in those frozen mountains too?”

Nie Tian nodded.

Stella, the ninth grade ice phoenix, then bowed towards him, expressing her gratitude in this solemn human manner. “On behalf of my people, thank you for what you’ve done. I’m really grateful that you killed those outsiders and didn’t try to take the remains of my people away.”

She had counted the dead phoenixes. Not one was missing.

They had practically suffered no losses, but by contrast, the dragons... After being refined by the Flame Maniac, they had lost all chances at being brought back to life.

“The reason we came here to this floating continent was to kill or expel those outsiders.” Nie Tian established his goodwill. “We weren’t going to take a blade of grass from it. We learned that the outsiders had arrived through a total of eight spatial tunnels. At this point, we’ve already destroyed seven of them, and spent plenty of time doing it.

“It took us a long time to get here. Sorry we failed to stop that Demon from refining the dragon corpses.”

McEleney, the ninth grade dragon, nodded lightly. “We’ll settle this with the Controller and the Flame Maniac sooner or later. The Flame Maniac finished his bloodline upgrade with the remains of my people. I won’t stop until he pays for this. And I’ll make sure that his clan shoulders the full extent of our wrath!”
