Chapter 1029: Slaying Auden (1/2)

Auden and Anguz were from the Fourth Demon Realm and the Fifth Demon Realm respectively.

Demons had the most rigorous social hierarchy. The most powerful Demon clans would always live in the First Demon Realm.

Auden and Anguz’s clans were fairly new among the Demon clans, and they didn’t have any ninth grade grand patriarchs. It was only natural that they didn’t qualify to move into the First or Second Demon Realm.

For this reason, they weren’t part of the main forces in this battle of the Domain of Nether Heaven.

Instead, the two of them had been charged with the task of searching the non-battle zones of the Domain of Nether Heaven for stray human forces.

The two of them had happened to be in this region when Pergson had gotten into contact with them, and had thus come to his aid.

Who would have thought that they would run into Nie Tian on their way?

Tall and burly, Anguz called out with purple light shining in his eyes, “You’re that junior from the Domain of the Falling Stars! I know you recently became the seventh Son of the Stars of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace!”

Clad in heavy armor and with a sinister mask over his face, Auden looked coldly at Nie Tian and snorted. “If it weren’t for you, we would have sacked the Domain of the Falling Stars decades ago.”

Back in the day, three major spatial rifts had opened in three different realms, allowing countless Demon invaders to swarm into the Domain of the Falling Stars.

Nie Tian had put an end to their invasion by sealing the spatial rifts with the grand spell formations left behind by the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.

Back then, Auden and Anguz had only been impressed by Nie Tian. However, what had shocked them and opened their eyes to Nie Tian’s uniqueness was when they had heard that a new Son of the Stars had been chosen, and he was from the Domain of the Falling Stars.

Needless to say, they had guessed that that Son of the Stars must be Nie Tian, who had wrecked their plans repeatedly.

Nie Tian grinned and said, “Time does fly. I didn’t think I’d see you two again. Back then, if I had encountered any of you in the Domain of the Falling Stars, I wouldn’t have even been able to escape. But times have changed. Your corpses will serve perfectly as a gift for my recent breakthrough!”

He had been overtaken by a curious feeling as soon as he had assumed a tight grip of the Star Behemoth bone.

While he was holding it, all of the strange energies that filled the starry river were kept away from him.

This was something he had never experienced before.

However, he wasn’t sure whether it was because the bone had absorbed a large amount of strange energies while it had been left in the starry river between the Domain of the Falling Stars and the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries, or another perk of his recent bloodline upgrade. In any case, he now felt that he wouldn’t have to worry about the harmful energies in the starry river anymore as long as he held the bone in his hand.

This greatly increased his confidence.

“That’s a lot of big talk.” Anguz spoke like a beast bellowing. “You’re only at the Profound realm, and you think you can kill us?

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Auden, who was at the eighth grade, suddenly charged towards Nie Tian on his pitch-black war horse, clutching his long black spear.

His war horse, which was clad in heavy, engraved armor like he was, galloped through the void like it was solid ground.

Auden lifted his black spear and pointed it at Nie Tian from afar.

As the complicated demonic patterns on it glowed like some unique imprints, intense Demon Qi swirled out of them, morphing into devilishly beautiful flowers.

One flower after another burst into bloom in the dark starry river, unleashing an aura that was both graceful and deadly.

“Now is a different time.” Nie Tian laughed wildly as he pointed downwards with his empty hand.

Then, as a beam of starlight shot out of his fingertip into the spell formation underneath his feet, a pillar of dazzling starlight blasted out of the prow of the Star Boat, briefly lighting up the dark void.

After the pillar of glorious starlight shone into the area of blossoming demonic flowers, the flowers rapidly faded and vanished like burst bubbles.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

Auden roared furiously as a terrifying shape stretched out and rose from behind him.

Hundreds of meters tall and towering like a mountain, the shape seemed to be a condensation of pure demonic power.

The howls of Demon ancestors could be vaguely heard as the terrifying shape unleashed a suffocating aura into its surroundings.

At the same time, Auden flung his black spear with full force, which sped through the void like a bolt of black lightning.

The terrifying shape was only to suppress Nie Tian’s soul, cause his head to spin, and stop him from fully displaying his battle prowess.

That long black spear was what he was hoping to kill Nie Tian with.

Nie Tian smiled coldly, shaking his head. “You actually think a soul suppressing magic at such a level will stop me?” With the help of the Spirit Pearl, he easily got rid of the unsettling and suffocating feeling he was suffering from.

Without any fancy moves, he simply thrust the Star Behemoth bone, which was now about twenty meters long, towards the incoming black spear.

CRACK! CRACK!

Upon contact with the bone, the black spear shattered inch by inch in the void.

“As I expected!” Nie Tian’s expression flickered with excitement as he laughed broadly and felt unprecedentedly delighted.
