Chapter 1031: Reunion (1/2)

The battle against the Phantasms ended within a short time.

Three Phantasm ancient starships split one after another, filling the dark starry river with debris.

Nie Tian’s Star Boat was filled once again, but this time with dead Phantasms, including three eighth grade ones and a few dozen seventh grade ones.

Nie Tian and Pei Qiqi were the main forces in this battle, while Huang Jinnan assisted them.

After the battle ended, the three of them returned to the dead realm, where Nie Tian retreated to a secluded location to refine the Phantasm corpses one by one with Life Drain.

Three days later, Nie Tian had a total of nine drops of transcendent Blood Essence in his heart.

RUMBLE!

Lands shook and mountains toppled in the nearby dead realm.

The moment the realm fell apart, Grand Patriarch Bone Crusher shot out of it with Pergson on his shoulder.

At this point, the Bonebrute starship they had come on had already crashed into that dead realm. All of the Bonebrutes had been killed, except for Grand Patriarch Bone Crusher and Pergson.

Curious sparks flickered in Pei Qiqi’s eyes as she communicated with Fan Wen using a secret magic of the Void Spirit Society. “Failing to see any reinforcements, Grand Patriarch Bone Crusher has finally decided to leave.

“Sikong Cuo and his lackeys turned out to be even fiercer than I thought. Even though he has a bad reputation, his battle prowess is far beyond ordinary. You’d better be careful when you see him.”

Huang Jinnan sighed. “Sikong Cuo and his men’s performance in battle is impressive indeed.”

“Yeah, he won, but I’m more concerned with his losses,” Nie Tian said.

A cold smile appeared at the corner of Pei Qiqi’s mouth as she said, “An early Saint domain expert was killed by Grand Patriarch Bone Crusher, and of all his Void domain subordinates, only three survived. Sikong Cuo’s men killed all of the eighth grade Bonebrutes in this fierce battle. It was impossible for him to not pay a heavy price.

“I’m afraid it’ll take him quite some time to recover.”

Huang Jinnan laughed broadly. “Even one of his Saint domain subordinates was killed. That must hurt. However, if we hadn’t intercepted and killed those Demons and Phantasms, his losses would have been even greater.”

“He still doesn’t know we did all that, right?” Nie Tian asked.

Pei Qiqi shook her head. “No, he doesn’t.”

Moments later, Pei Qiqi narrowed her eyes and said, “Sikong Cuo is asking Elder Fan to cast Void Travel and get them out of that dead realm. He’s worried that Grand Patriarch Bone Crusher will summon other powerful outsiders and come back for him.”

“It’s about time we left here too. It’s not safe for us to stay here for long either.” Nie Tian said. “Also, we’d better avoid contact with Sikong Cuo, lest he suspect that we had something to do with what happened to him. Come on. Let’s go. Grand Patriarch Bone Crusher may actually come back.”

“Okay.” Pei Qiqi agreed.

She cast Void Travel and split open a spatial rift, through which the three of them left the dead realm where they had been hiding.

...

The aura of Void domain experts’ shattered domains and the Bonebrutes’ unique aura of death filled a large area of the starry river.

The exploded dead realm had become countless floating meteors, which would turn into falling stars once caught by the mysterious gales in the starry river.

At this moment, Sikong Cuo was standing on a large meteor, looking coldly at Fan Wen.

“Can you cast Void Travel now?” He asked.

Fan Wen remained expressionless as she nodded. “Yeah.”

“I hope nothing will go wrong this time!” Sikong Cuo’s voice was filled with suppressed anger.

Standing beside him, Zou Qing, who was at the late Saint domain, was holding a handful of Soul-storing Stones.

Each and every one of them held the soul of a killed subordinate of Sikong Cuo’s.

The purpose of the Soul-storing Stones was to prevent their souls from being annihilated while they traveled in the starry river.

As long as their souls didn’t perish, Sikong Cuo would be able to find suitable hosts for them to reincarnate in after returning to his subordinate domains.

However, not all of his dead subordinates’ souls had been preserved.

Some of them had shattered when the dead realm had exploded.

Sikong Cuo had indeed suffered heavy losses this time.

He had lost nearly half of the subordinates he had spent years gathering. Even if he could reincarnate them later, it would take centuries for them to return to their peak state.

This was none other than a heavy blow to him.

Just as Fan Wen was going to cast Void Travel, Zou Qing’s eyebrows flickered as he exclaimed, “Wait!”

Fan Wen then canceled the spell.

Zou Qing morphed into a bolt of lightning and shot off the drifting meteor they were on.
