Chapter 1033: Half-man Half-Demon (1/2)

“Nie Tian, it seems to me that Auden and Anguz came to the Domain of Nether Heaven through that teleportation portal,” Pei Qiqi said with a grim look in her eyes. “We need to destroy it as soon as possible. Otherwise, as soon as we enter that Demon grand monarch’s flesh aura, he will learn what we’re doing and send his clan members here to intercept us.”

Hearing this, Nie Tian said, “What are we waiting for then? Let’s head over there and destroy it.”

After a moment of pondering, Pei Qiqi turned to Qi Lianshan and said, “Nie Tian and I will go by ourselves. You just wait here with the others. We’ll come back as soon as we finish the job.”

Having cast Void Travel several times in a row, Qi Lianshan still needed time to heal his internal injuries. He nodded hesitantly and said, “Be careful, Miss Pei. Your safety is more important than anything.”

“Don’t worry,” Pei Qiqi said, “I know what I’m doing. We’ll be fine.”

“Do you want me to go with you?” Yang Fan, Lou Hongyan’s Saint domain subordinate, offered himself for the job.

Pei Qiqi shook her head. “There’s no need for that. It’ll be easier if it’s just the two of us. We’ll be able to come back quicker if we find ourselves in danger.”

She could cast a forbidden magic with the Heaven Nourished grade spatial treasure in her possession and get the two of them out of any dangerous situations they might get into. None of the others would be able to withstand the deadly spatial power it would bring. Therefore, anyone who went with them would become a liability.

Huang Jinnan understood this better than anyone else. With a bitter smile, he asked Lou Hongyan, Yang Fan, and the others not to join them in this task.

Seeing this, Pei Qiqi cast Void Travel. She and Nie Tian parted with the others for the time being.

FIZZ! FIZZ!

A spatial rift came to form in the dark starry river.

Nie Tian and Pei Qiqi flew into it.

The moment they came out of the other end of the spatial tunnel, Pei Qiqi’s expression flickered with astonishment, her eyes fixed on what lay ahead. “What... What’s that?”

Just now, her irregularly shaped crystal had only allowed her to sense the existence of the teleportation portal and the unique spatial fluctuations it was emanating, but nothing else.

She hadn’t expected there to be something else besides the teleportation portal.

Nie Tian was also shocked by what he saw.

In front of them was a sea of rolling blackish-violet Demon qi.

An incredibly enormous demonic plant could be seen blooming in the depths of it.

Upon a closer look, it had numerous flower buds, all of which were black, and looked like the eyes of devils.

Swaying slightly in the rolling Demon qi, the sinister-looking flower buds seemed to suddenly capture Nie Tian and Pei Qiqi’s auras, as they all turned to face them.

For some reason, as soon as they did, both Nie Tian and Pei Qiqi were struck by a peculiar feeling that their souls were being stirred by some power.

Pei Qiqi didn’t dare to make any rash moves. Instead, she raised her guard and prepared to evacuate at any moment. “The teleportation portal is in the depths of this sea of Demon qi. But I have no idea why there’s such a huge demonic flower here. They should only exist in Demon realms.”

Standing on the Voidheaven Boat, Nie Tian took out the Star Behemoth bone without saying a word.

Holding it, he felt slightly more confident.

“Humans...” A cold laugh echoed out from the depths of the sea of Demon qi.

At the same time, all of the strange flower buds that looked like eyeballs shook, as if they were laughing too.

All of a sudden, the laughs grew extremely sharp, hurting Nie Tian and Pei Qiqi’s eardrums. The two of them had to summon their soul power to contend against the scary, ear-piercing laughs.

A slender figure appeared in the depths of the Demon qi. It grew clearer and clearer as it rapidly flew closer.

It turned out to be a young man with a handsome appearance.

Pei Qiqi was taken aback. “Is he a human?”

Nie Tian frowned and said, “He doesn’t have purple hair and pupils, so he isn’t a Demon. And he doesn’t have a crystal between his eyebrows, so he isn’t a Phantasm. But he has the purest Demon aura surging inside of him. He clearly practices the Demons’ incantations and spells. And the power within his blood, bones, and internal organs originates from the Demon qi.”

The handsome young man in front of them looked like a high-tier Demon upon first glance. His graceful manners gave Nie Tian a strong sense of danger.

“Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Han Yu. I used to be a human too, but not anymore technically.” The young man said in a soft, relaxed voice, while sizing Nie Tian and Pei Qiqi up with an intrigued look on his face. “You’re here to destroy the teleportation portal, aren’t you?”

“What if we are?” Nie Tian said.
