Chapter 1030: Life Reaper (1/2)

The battle between Nie Tian and Auden had broken out and ended abruptly.

The fact that it had ended within such a short time exceeded everyone’s expectations. By the time Anguz realized what was happening and planned to launch attacks with his ancient starship, Auden’s mangled corpse was already lying on the Star Boat.

Pei Qiqi’s bright eyes flickered. “It’s hard to believe that his battle prowess has also become so terrifyingly high!”

Previously, Nie Tian had stood by when a battle had broken out in realm number nine.

During that battle, Nie Tian had only summoned the five evil spirits from within the Spirit Pearl.

Therefore, Pei Qiqi hadn’t had a chance to witness his battle prowess... until now!

The fact that Nie Tian had slain Auden effortlessly with that Star Behemoth bone made her realize that while she had advanced by leaps and bounds after joining the Void Spirit Society, Nie Tian had advanced every bit as fast as she had.

Furthermore, Nie Tian was only at the Profound realm.

Pei Qiqi couldn’t help but wonder, “The fact that Sikong Cuo could kill eighth grade Bonebrutes one after another in that dead realm had a lot to do with his early Void domain cultivation base and the fact that he was a Son of the Stars. His cultivation base roughly matches the grade of those Bonebrutes, and he’s a Son of the Stars. So it’s not that shocking that he was able to kill a bunch of them.

“But Nie Tian is different. His cultivation base is at the Profound realm, and his bloodline is only at the seventh grade.

“Given this, it’s truly unbelievable that he was able to finish Auden off so easily.”

Nie Tian’s performance had greatly surprised her, and put her worrying heart at ease.

Huang Jinnan laughed heartily, feeling truly happy for Nie Tian. “That was awesome, Nie Tian! No wonder people envy you everywhere. The reason why Sikong Cuo is so highly regarded by some of your sect elders and vice sectmasters is because, on the one hand, his cultivation advances at a shocking speed, and on the other, his battle prowess stands out.

“But the way I see it, it’s only a matter of time before you surpass him.

“I never heard that he was able to kill an eighth grade Demon when he was at the Profound realm. The gap is two entire grades, for heaven’s sake!”

He knew the fact that Nie Tian was able to display such incredible battle prowess had a great deal to do with that mysterious bone. However, he also knew that back when they had explored that Lizardman domain together, Nie Tian had only been able to strike once with it, and would have to stop to recover strength afterwards.

That had clearly changed. Now, after killing Auden with the bone, Nie Tian’s flesh power was still rather copious.

That was when he realized that the bone had already become Nie Tian’s regular attacking means that he would be able to use repeatedly in battle.

RUMBLE!

Loud rumbles echoed out from the two Demon ancient starships as they pointed their prows in Nie Tian’s direction.

The furious cries of Demons filled the starships.

Anguz bellowed, as if to order his people to crush Nie Tian with the cannon on their ancient starships.

Spheres of lavender light then blasted forth from the prows of the ancient starships.

Inside the glowing spheres were countless tiny purple crystals, which seemed to carry a destructive essence of qi and blood.

SHEW!

The Star Boat accelerated again, and threaded swiftly through the spaces between the purple spheres.

Not once was it hit.

The ancient starship that had lost Auden became Nie Tian’s next target. With the Star Boat’s dashing momentum, he held out the Star Behemoth bone like a huge sword, and slashed it towards the middle of the ancient starship.

A crimson lightning bolt suddenly lit up the void.

CRACK! CRACK!

The ancient starship that had been forged from enormous low-tier Demon corpses and rare metals split in two from the middle.

Numerous seventh grade Demons screamed and jumped off the ancient starship.

However, wherever they flew, the Star Behemoth bone would follow, reaping their lives like Death’s scythe. As they attempted to activate their bloodline talents, a new discovery drove them into despair. All of their bloodline talents and magics were suppressed by a mysterious aura unleashed by that bone, and couldn’t be activated.

Dead Demons started to fall onto the Star Boat like cannonballs.

Before long, numerous Demon corpses were piled into a small hill on the Star Boat.

Nie Tian laughed, gritting his teeth. “The time has finally come for you to pay for your crimes. You thought up every possible way to invade the Domain of the Falling Stars, plunging all of its nine realms into a world of misery and devastation. You never thought that you’d see this day, did you?”

Recalling the sense of weakness he had felt facing Anguz and Auden back in the day and seeing what was happening now, Nie Tian felt completely relieved.

Decades had passed, and he was no longer the young man who had only been able to observe the battle between high-tier Demons and Li Muyang, Ling Dong, and Hua Mu. Instead, he had become a figure that inspired fear among the Demons. This meant all these years of hard work hadn’t been in vain.

As long as he was still alive, the Demons wouldn’t dare to rashly invade the Domain of the Falling Stars anymore.

“I can’t believe he’s become so powerful!” Anguz panted and bellowed as he watched Auden’s ancient starship split and numerous Demons die at Nie Tian’s hands. With fear rising in his heart, he decided to retreat.

Then, he shouted in the Demons’ language, ordering his subordinates to sail the starship away.

However, at this moment, a network of fine spatial lines appeared in the depths of Pei Qiqi’s pupils.

She took out the irregularly shaped crystal. Staring into it, at the image of Anguz’s ancient starship within it, she uttered softly, “Spatial Imprisonment!”

After that, even though the ancient starship continued to rumble, it only swayed slightly, but couldn’t move a bit forward.

It was as if the enormous starship had been bound by numerous invisible chains!

Even the Demons on it lost all mobility, like locusts that were being pinned to the ground. Anguz was the only one who wasn’t confined by the strange spatial power.

WHOOSH!
