Chapter 1028: Infinite Fighting Spiri (1/2)
Life power and death power were two opposite types of power.
Nie Tian had verified this long ago when he had used Life Blend on the Bone Blood Demon.
Every time he had made an attempt, he had felt strong restrictions that had prevented him from fully displaying the might of Life Blend.
By contrast, when he had used Life Blend on the black tortoise, he had felt perfect compatibility.
Therefore, perhaps the Bonebrutes were the race that were the most unfit for him to use Life Drain on among all of the races that lived in this boundless starry river.
Their bloodlines negated each other.
If it weren’t Bonebrutes that Sikong Cuo was now fighting, Nie Tian might have put his grudge towards him aside for the moment and rushed to his aid in order to obtain outsider corpses. After all, he needed a large amount of flesh power to condense Blood Essence if he wanted to seek bloodline magics in the Blood Realm.
But since it was Bonebrutes, he didn’t have even the slightest interest in joining the battle.
Though separated by the starry river, Pei Qiqi gained a grasp of the latest situation on the battlefield through Fan Wen.
“A battle has broken out. The two sides seem to be evenly matched. The battle might be a long one.” With these words, Pei Qiqi slowly sat down, as if she felt relieved after learning the current situation. “As notorious as Sikong Cuo’s subordinates are, their battle prowess is actually very impressive. The Bonebrutes have only one grand patriarch. I doubt that they’ll gain an advantage in this battle.
“If there are no mishaps, Sikong Cuo will lose several of his subordinates, while a number of eighth grade Bonebrutes will perish.
“Let’s stay put and see how the situation develops.”
With a relaxed smile, Nie Tian chimed in, “That’s right. We can count it as a success if this battle ends up consuming a handful of Sikong Cuo’s subordinates. After all the people he has set up, it’s such a pleasure to see him tasting his own medicine for a change!”
As the two of them spoke, Huang Jinnan approached. “A battle has broken out?”
“Yeah.” Nie Tian took a deep look at him. “How did your recovery go?”
Huang Jinnan gave a low chuckle and said, “I’ve already recovered eighty percent of my battle prowess. My master gave me some powerful medicinal pills before I came here.Since most of my injuries are fleshly wounds that incurred when we escaped from realm number nine, and you’ve healed them to a great extent, I was able to heal my injured true soul with some medicinal pills. I’ll be fine even if we get into a battle right now.”
It had been a long time since they had escaped from realm number nine.
Among the three chosen ones, Nie Tian was actually in the best condition, considering that he hadn’t fought or done anything other than healing Pei Qiqi and Huang Jinnan’s injuries.
Plus, his bloodline had recently advanced to the seventh grade.
His seventh grade bloodline alone gave him battle prowess of Soul realm human expert.
It appeared that his bloodline grade didn’t subdivide into early, middle, and late stages. Instead, it was one big stage.
To fully display the might of his bloodline power, all he had to do was condense all fifty drops of Blood Essence and fill his internal organs, bones, meridians, and blood with a copious amount of flesh power.
Achieving that would mean his bloodline had reached the peak of the seventh grade.
On top of that, if he could satisfy the green aura’s bottomless appetite for flesh power, allowing it to fall dormant again, that would mean that his bloodline had reached the peak of the seventh grade.
Similarly, if he ran low on his Blood Essence, his bloodline would fall back slightly.
He had learned this the moment his bloodline had broken through into the seventh grade.
After a short conversation, the three of them stayed together, while Pei Qiqi kept in contact with Fang Wen and paid close attention to the battle that was taking place on the nearby dead realm.
Sitting on the ground, she related the latest information to Nie Tian and Huang Jinnan every once in a while.
“Two of Sikong Cuo’s Void domain subordinates have been killed.
“A middle eighth grade Bonebrute died. Its large bony body fell apart.
“Till now, Sikong Cuo still hasn’t joined the battle himself.
“A cultivator well-versed in manipulating spirit vermin unleashed a swarm of spirit vermin that filled the sky.That cultivator is at the middle Saint domain, and has outstanding battle prowess. He and his spirit vermin are giving the Bonebrutes a lot of trouble.
“Grand Patriarch Bone Crusher made a move! He unleashed a bloodline magic, eliminating countless spirit vermin in an instant!
“The man is seriously injured!”
Meanwhile, the two of them just nodded in silence. From her, they got a sense of the intensity of the battle, and realized that this battle between Sikong Cuo’s team and the Bonebrutes wouldn’t end any time soon.
Moments later, Pei Qiqi said with a grim face, “Sikong Cuo has made a move, and apparently he’s an amazing fighter! Even though I can’t see the battlefield with my own eyes, according to Elder Fan’s description, he’s shown incredible battle prowess! He’s crushing his enemies with all sorts of secret legacy magics of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace. None of the eighth grade Bonebrutes can match him in battle!
