Chapter 1036: A Bloodline Tes (1/2)
In the Demon grand monarch’s sea of flesh aura.
Nie Tian and the others flew through it on the Voidheaven Boat, or by stimulating their domains.
The sea of light-purple flesh aura that was mixed with rolling pitch-black Demon qi stretched as far as the eye could see, as if it would never end.
Traveling in it, people had to form all sorts of shields or domains to fend off the Demon grand monarch’s flesh aura and raging Demon qi.
Once the Demon grand monarch’s flesh aura infiltrated their defenses and entered their bodies, they would soon demonize.
If that happened, they would descend to slaves of the Demon grand monarch’s will and become his puppets, which knew nothing but killing for him.
Such demonization was different from what Han Yu had gone through. He clearly had his own awareness even though he had merged with the Demoneyes Flower.
BZZZ! BZZZ!
Fragmentary purple lightning kept sputtering from the shield that enveloped the Voidheaven Boat.
Nie Tian and Pei Qiqi just sat silently on the boat, and watched as the grand monarch’s flesh aura continued to corrode the boat’s defense.
They had Qi warriors flying ahead of and behind them.
Qi Lianshan, Yang Fan, Huang Jinnan, and Lou Hongyan relied on either their domains or air-transportation spiritual tools to keep the Demon grand monarch’s flesh and blood away. It wasn’t easy for any of them.
Gazing ahead, Pei Qiqi said, “Since that Demon grand monarch spread his flesh aura over this entire area, he should have been able to detect us as soon as we entered it. Given his strength, even if he isn’t well-versed in spatial power, getting here should be as easy as turning his hand over to him. But since he’s not here, there’s only one possible explanation: he’s otherwise occupied, and can’t come for us himself.”
Nie Tian chimed in, “Elder Mo Heng, Senior Ji, and Senior Lu are all at the God domain. The outsider grand monarchs that have entered the Domain of Nether Heaven must be focusing their energy on the three of them. If what I suspect is true, the battles between them are still ongoing. It’s understandable that they wouldn’t want to jeopardize their battle results just to come here to kill us.”
Pei Qiqi nodded slightly and said with a frown, “Since that Demon grand monarch must have learned of our whereabouts, he’ll definitely send his people after us. Besides, that Han Yu had an encounter with us himself. Even though the teleportation portal he guarded has been destroyed, there might be other similar ones in nearby areas.
“Through those special teleportation portals, Han Yu and other Demon forces will be able to catch up to us much more easily.
“Let’s hope we get out of this sea of flesh aura before they do.”
She was well-aware that the Demons’ battle prowess would improve significantly when fighting in this sea of the Demon grand monarch’s flesh aura.
If the Demon grand monarch wanted to, he could even fuse the sea of his flesh aura into some of the Demon pursuers, and make their strength soar through the heavens.
However, their battle prowess would be greatly limited if they were to fight in this sea of the Demon grand monarch’s flesh aura.
With themselves weakened and their Demon pursuers strengthened, if they actually got into a battle with them, they would most likely end up losing.
With a bitter smile, Nie Tian said, “That senior martial brother of mine is formidable indeed. He even managed to harness and merge with a Demon Eyes Flower, which is known as the deadliest demonic plant. And from the look of it, he still has his independent awareness, and has full control of the Demon Eyes Flower’s power, instead of being a puppet of the demonic plant.”
“Yeah, you can’t have any scruples about killing him if you encounter him again.” Pei Qiqi clearly still had lingering fears about the man. “Even though he hasn’t been demonized, his mind has been corrupted. He doesn’t even consider himself a human anymore. A man like him is even more dangerous than the Demons. You’ve got to kill him without hesitation when an opportunity presents itself.”
Nie Tian nodded. “Of course I won’t hold back. It’s just that...”
In Nie Tian’s senses, even a ninth grade Demon grand patriarch might not be able to win a battle against Han Yu, who had become one with that Demon Eyes Flower.
By relying on his seventh grade bloodline power and that Star Behemoth bone, he was able to kill eighth grade outsiders.
However, he knew that he still didn’t have what it took to contend against a ninth grade outsider, much less the Demon Eyes Flower, which was even stronger.
On top of that, even though he hadn’t gotten into a direct battle against Han Yu’s true self, he had sensed shockingly intense demonic power running inside of him as well.
Looking around at the sea of rich flesh aura and rolling Demon qi they were in, Nie Tian became absorbed in his thoughts. “A Demon grand monarch’s sea of flesh aura...
“That’s basically a sea of flesh power. And Life Drain allows me to channel flesh power from almost all outsider races, except Bonebrutes. Will it work on this sea of flesh aura?
“Before, when Fang Tianyi’s domain was invaded by Grand Patriarch Cardy’s flesh aura, I was only able to neutralize it, instead of refining it.
