Chapter 992: Aftermath (2/2)
Hearing this, Nie Tian realized that the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace hadn’t lied to him.
According to the information they had given him, only one ninth grade outsider had entered this floating continent.
That had been none other than Hazlitt the Flame Maniac, who had been at the early ninth grade when he had first come here.
The strength of an early ninth grade outsider was roughly equal to that of an early Saint domain human expert. If the three of them had teamed up on him, they would have had a good chance at killing him, not to mention just expelling him.
Even the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace hadn’t expected that Hazlitt would advance to the middle ninth grade within such a short time through refining the flame dragon corpses.
“I saw you wearing a suit of armor earlier...” McEleney the ninth grade dragon spoke again while Nie Tian drifted away in thought.
Nie Tian’s expression suddenly flickered.
He had put the Flame Dragon Armor away in his ring of holding as fast as he could earlier, worrying that it would put him in trouble.
The head of the flame element sect of the Five Elements Sect had forged the Flame Dragon Armor from the heart and skeleton of a flame dragon. Afterwards, he had given it to the Daughter of Flames.
It would most certainly be considered a humiliation to the dragons.
Nie Tian smiled bitterly. “It wasn’t mine.”
Being at the middle and the early ninth grade, McEleney and Stella could easily overpower Jing Feiyang and the other two Saint domain experts.
Jing Feiyang’s expression flickered as he secretly messaged Quan Zixuan and Qu Mingde to forget about the outsiders and return as quickly as possible.
“I’m familiar with the origin of that suit of armor,” McEleney said with a complicated look in his eyes. “Can I have a look at it?”
Nie Tian seemed hesitant.
McEleney saw through his insecurity. “Don’t worry. I know who forged it, and that you have nothing to do with it. All I want is to take a look at it. I have a strange feeling that... it has recovered its Bloodline Crystal Chains and been revived.”
PHEW! PHEW!
Quan Zixuan and Qu Mingde flew back at lightning speed before stopping on either side of Nie Tian.
Slightly relieved, Nie Tian summoned the Flame Dragon Armor and tossed it to McEleney.
Catching it with his hands, McEleney examined it carefully with his flesh aura. His expression became increasingly strange as he finally said, “Normally speaking, only ninth and tenth grade experts of my kind could reignite the flame of his life force and bring him back to life. But now, he’s already in a living state. This is...”
Before he could finish, his aura seemed to suddenly establish a profound connection with the Flame Dragon Armor, and started a private conversation with it.
After a long while, McEleney came back to reality. He looked even more confused and astonished as he fixed his eyes on Nie Tian, as if he had learned how the Flame Dragon Armor had been revived.
McEleney’s expression couldn’t be stranger as he said, “You...”
Somehow, he suddenly stopped.
WHOOSH!
The Flame Dragon Armor flew out of his hands and into Nie Tian’s.
Nie Tian received it somewhat nervously and put it away in his ring of holding, raising his guard at the same time.
“You should keep it,” McEleney said with a serious face. “And I hope it doesn’t end up in anyone else’s hand, not even the Five Elements Sect.”
Nie Tian secretly let out a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, he shot Quan Zixuan and Qu Mingde a meaningful glance, signaling them to relax.
At the same time, McEleney turned to look into the distance, as if to see that the eighth grade outsiders were about to escape the Void domain experts’ pursuit and vanish from his sight. “Let’s finish off the remaining outsiders first, and then we can talk more.”
PHEW! PHEW!
He suddenly flew out with the ice phoenix to finish off the remaining outsiders.
An hour passed...
Every last outsider was killed. McEleney and Stella separated themselves from Nie Tian’s group and came to another area of the desert.
“That suit of armor...” Stella wanted to say something, but stopped on second thought.
“The reason for his resurrection is because the seventh Son of the Stars reignited the flame of his life force with his own Blood Essence,” McEleney said with a grim face. “This might be hard to believe, but he actually demanded that I leave him with the seventh Son of the Stars. He told me that his special bloodline will help him reforge his fleshly body and recover his original grade, and that it’s better for him to stay with him than to return to our domain.”
Stella gasped with astonishment. “How... how is that possible?! He’s the offspring of that mighty one. If he returns, the kind of care he’ll receive is definitely going to be better than with a human, right?”
“I can’t believe it either,” McEleney said. “But he doesn’t seem to have recovered all of his memories yet. He doesn’t even know who he really is. But he will remember everything after he reforges his fleshly body and regenerates his Blood Essence. Perhaps he’ll give us a big surprise when he finally comes home.”
